  1. Something I feel i HAVE to clear up about transmission servicing.

    Now if i'm wrong in the slightest, feel free to let me know. But i feel i have to stress this, as it really pains me in the head to see guys do this: If you can- Whenever you're servicing a transmission, don't just change the fluid- you HAVE to more importantly the filter as well. Because i...
  2. Is Ford going to majorly change the look of the bronco as the years go by?

    I'm only curious, And i don't hate the look of the bronco currently obivously. Basically what i'm asking is, Will there be a big redesign or are they expected to look the exact same for 10-20 years down the road with maybe some minor changes? Since every vehicle out there eventually gets a...
  3. Does anyone prefer the Bronco Sport over the regular Bronco? (Or vice versa)

    Sometimes i'm not sure, maybe it's equal. There's literally times where i think the Big Bronco is cooler, while other times i think the bronco sport is just enough/preferable design. Then again, the big broncos are so costly, i actually went to test drive one. It was better than i expected, But...
  4. Why Dragon name for engine?

    Just for fun, yet somewhat serious, Any idea on why Ford named the 1.5L Engine "Dragon"? For example, we know the 5L V8 Coyote is named after "named after the first Ford with a four-valve V8 which was a race car.." Though I can't take a good guess as to why Ford went with Dragon for the 3-cyl...
  5. Review: I got the chance to sit in one!

    I went to a ford dealership, they're rated 4.4 out of 5 stars (Deservingly!) So this is my very first time sitting in a Ford Bronco Sport, (Big Bend Edition) 2023. It's maybe a little cramped, considering i'm 6,2 but it doesn't bother me. The design is great, i love how it looks. The 1.5L...
  6. Question, Does the 1.5L EB 3Cyl use an electric water pump or mechanical?

    Apparently it's been said that on some EcoBoosts engines (such as the 2.7L V6 Twin Turbo that's in the Big Bronco) They have an electric water pump, which continues to work even after you shut the vehicle off, because issues of the turbo getting too hot and cooking themselves if drivers were to...
  7. Anyone checked / discovered gasoline smell on their oil dipstick?

    Just asking out of curiousity if anyone bothered to check on their Bronco Sport, If this is a common issue with most or all EcoBoosts sometimes.
  8. How do you like the handling of your Bronco Sport?

    I know it's not supposed to be a top end sports car, But I am actually kind of SURPRISED by how it handles, than again I don't drive much like a maniac, so what you're about to see may not come as surprising, but for a heavy SUV it takes corners very well, guess it did put the "Sport" in Bronco...
  9. Color coded 1.5L engine parts diagram -- Identifying crucial engine components

    I thought I'd post this as a bit of help if any of you are confidentially going to do D.I.Y Work on this engine. This engine comes off as intimidating and a rats nest, but once you know what you're looking for, it's not the worst. (this does not apply to the badlands bronco sports/2 Liter...
  10. Does anyone know why exactly the 8-speed shifts kind of wonky?

    Something more noticable on hard acceleration, for some reason when the 8-speed shifts gears, the rpms will fall down, then it will 'twitch' right afterwards, When i noticed this i found it a weird behavior, I know this is normal but if anyone has an idea why? Sometimes it doesn't do it, but...
  11. Unpopular opinion: Am I the only one who enjoys the sound of the EcoBoost I-3? What's your thoughts on the 1.5L?

    I know the 1.5L EcoBoost I-3 isn't generally preferred to most people, because of the fact that it's a 3-cylinder engine. It's the exact same motor that debuts in the 2018 Ford Fiesta ST, just de-tuned and without the sporty engine cover But oh boy, it really has a unique sound, there's sadly...
  12. Has anyone seen the new updated 1.5L / 2L EcoBoost Engines?

    For some reason this only carries over to the Ford Escape and not the Bronco Sport, believe it or not, these are the same motors but ford seemed to do an overhaul on the top, this could be a better design, what's your guys take or comments? 1.5L Dragon Before and After: (1.5L 3-cylinder...
