I have a 2022 used Badlands. It has the B&O sound, heated seats/steering wheel and built in navigation. They were the features that were important to me. Without those I feel like they are base models. Would liked to have the moonroof but, not that big of a deal to me. Got a good deal. Traded in...
No, not hard on a vehicle but, I take it much easier and don't live near freeways. Like when I go to my local Food Lion grocery store it's only 13 minutes away on a 55 mph road. So, while 80 is not hard necessarily hard on a vehicle, 50-55 is much easier on them.
Heck no, I take it easy on my cars. The 2018 Ecoboost Mustang I traded in for this Bronco Sport had 104,000 trouble free miles because I took it easy on the car. Not like I stole it. The only thing I did to the car was replace tires, batteries and windshield wipers.
I just got back from my hour ride this morning. It does indeed shift to 8th gear but, doesn't do it until I hit 60 mph. That's crazy. My 2018 Mustang Ecoboost shifted in to 10th after 47 MPH.
I just found this thread here about shifting in to 8th gear. This is helpful too. https://www.broncosportforum.com/forum/threads/8th-gear-shift-speed.7842/
I have only had this 2022 Bronco Sport for a week. I have yet to drive over 60 MPH. Maybe I haven't gone fast enough to get to 8th gear. I'm a retired old guy. I take it pretty slow. Still, by manually shifting the right side to shift to a higher gear around 55, I would think it would shift to...
I usually try it around 50 or higher. Sometimes I will downshift with the left side paddle then upshift a couple of times and it never gets above 7th. Tomorrow I am traveling an hour away. I will try to pay attention several times to how many times it shifts. If it has 8 gears I should see/feel...
My favorite is the 1971-73 Mustang Grandes. The luxurious years! Here is a pic of my 2022 Bronco Sport Badlands. It has everything I wanted. Heated seats/steering wheel, B&O sound & navigation.
I just bought a 2022 Badlands with 48,000 miles on it. I test drove a blue one that had a slight lift kit on it the dealer said. The white one I bought rode a little smoother than the blue one with the lift kit. The white one I bought had brand new GeoTour tires. I have never heard of that tire...
