My previous car was a 2004 Crown Victoria. Suffice to say by today’s standards it was almost stripped except for anti-lock braking, power windows, power locks, air conditioning with auto climate control. My 2024 Bronco Sport Big Bend is a different story and I’ve had to get used to tech...

The world is a lot more complicated place these days. Indeed since the 1940s-1950s when aircraft became a lot more widespread, particularly with commercial aircraft, the skies are a lot more crowded. Also countries are particular about who is allowed to cross their designated airspace freely...

On Monday Nov. 17 I had my summer wheels and tires swapped off for my winter set. Seemingly all good with my Ford dealer delivering me the car when the work was complete. But when the driver came to give me the key she mentioned someone waved at her at a stoplight to tell her the passenger...

For a year now I’ve been trying to understand why the interior chime sometimes sounds and sometimes doesn’t when I turn off the car. I put the car in park, pull the parking brake and with foot on the brake turn off the ignition. Then a chime sounds…sometimes. It doesn’t seem to be consistent...

Today, Oct 11th, makes one year since I took delivery of my 2024 Bronco Sport Big Bend. Wow! Age makes time fly. It doesn’t feel that long. Oddly enough about two weeks ago I got an email from JD Power asking me to do a survey on my vehicle. Of course, I’ve heard of JD Power, but I never...

Every so often we are struck by moments, sometimes fleeting, sometimes prolonged. In those moments we mightn't be thinking anything really new, but there is something poignant or distinct about it. It's as if something crystallizes and we see and/or feel it with added clarity. Ten months ago...

Many years ago I had a motorcycle, accident very nice 1982 Suzuki GS750E in metallic red. Now I'm thinking of getting back into motorcycling again. This time around, with the perspective of age, my intent is more modest. I'm looking at getting something to have fun in the local area on mostly...

Growing up my father never had a car with air conditioning. And it would be many years before Dad had a car with air conditioning. My first car didn’t have air conditioning. Flash forward all those years to today and I still like driving with the window(s) open. I use air conditioning when it...

If you read and watch reviews and follow generally accepted thought the Badlands with the 2.0 is the only Broncos Sport to get. Otherwise there just isn’t enough get-up-and-go with the 1.5. I disagree, particularly when you put things in context of driving in the real world. I’ve been driving...

Say hello to Telo, a very interesting small truck slated for production in 2026/27. I find this more interesting than the Slate truck concept.

So a week or so ago when I went to start my BB remotely before going out I noticed somehow I had been signed out of my Ford Pass app. But when I tried to sign back in it wouldn't accept my login. I tried changing my password which it seemed to accept, but I still couldn’t sign in. At this point...

Does anyone know if there are upgrade front & rear stabilizer bars available for the Bronco Sport? I did such an upgrade on my 2004 CrownVic—adding a larger bar to the front and one to the rear (it didn’t have a rear bar originally)—and it made a world of difference. Now the Bronco Sport...

Tangental to the thread about your favourite Bronco Sport colour. Since the beginning the Bronco Sport Big Bend comes standard with a body-colour roof. With the windows and blacked out frames it creates a floating roof effect. I really like this look on the Bronco Sport. Now one of the reasons...

Okay, just for fun let's find out your favourite Bronco Sport colour, or colours. Yes, you can choose more than one since you might have had a first and second choice and so on. When the Bronco Sport was introduced the Cyber Orange really caught my eye although I probably would have gone with...

Did anyone happen to take a closer look at the Mazda CX-30 before they bought their Bronco Sport? I don't regret for a minute buying my '24 BB, but I do wish I had taken a closer look at the CX-30 at least for sakes of comparison. Because at least on paper it looks really interesting. I like...

What's in a name? Is there more to the word "sport" in the Bronco Sport's name than just an adjective to distinguish it from the bigger and more hyped Bronco? Maybe Ford thought it was better than coming up with a different and unfamiliar name altogether and play on the spirit or association...

When I was faced with the prospect of buying a new vehicle I actually sat down to give it serious thought and made a list. The list was based on things I liked, things I wanted, and vehicles I had at least some passing interest in for one reason or another. Most of the vehicles I considered I...

I’m still new to life with a Bronco Sport so my criticisms are extremely minor so far. And there are a lot of equally passionate owners here yet with more mileage under them. It’s usual for manufactures to upsize vehicles they redesign from generation to generation. So it could be interesting...

I have liked and been intrigued with the Bronco Sport since it was first introduced. But at the time I had no need for a new vehicle so I basically admired it from afar. That changed four months ago when I was faced with needing a new vehicle. I considered a short list of candidates--a varied...
