That's what I have been thinking. I like my vehicle. I was a DITW Chevy truck owner for 90% of my life until I bought a Colorado. It was the little things tha GM knew not to do but did them anyway in manufacturing. So went to Ford and have stayed. Nothing is perfect.

I keep looking at the NTSB website and no recalls on my BS because it was built outside the recall parameters. However, I expect to get one. Mine was built about a month before I bought in March 2023. I like my BS but when I was looking to buy I was only trying to lower my mpg which was a bit...

Heck, I thought those long black hood ornaments on the Big Bronco were deer whistles. LOL.

I bought different tires for my Bronco Sport at Discount Tires. When I went in for the first rotate and balance, the salesman tried to sell me new lug nuts. They were incredibly priced at $70.00 without being locking lugs. UHhh no. However I did look in here and find that there is an issue from...

I recently put a plastic hose in the rubber hollow seal in the one nearest the windshield. It was a tight fit but I used baby powder and it fit fairly easy. It made hardly minimal improvement but it helped. Then I opened up the rubber hood bumpers all the way. Actually that made it much worse...

My Ford service is very good. However, the parts department wins the bozo award for being dumbasses. You are correct about finding a good one.

Great choice. The Subarus are great vehicles. We've had about 10 of them over the years. That's including 5 WRX's and an STI. The Subaru's do have a long mileage lifetime but at 200 k, it is probably a good time to trade. The comparisons between are interesting... Same hp, same size in the garage.

Nice post. I like my Bronco Sport. I've minimally upgraded it with tires, lift and other things like lettering and badges. I didn't do diligence in buying mine. I was only looking at the gas mileage. I traded a 2020 Ranger that was customized from the dealer. It was so bad ass I had to go...

I think they are hit and miss. If yours fit great, that's fine. They just might be designed to have a little overhang. Mine were really out there. I thought about trimming them but that would just leave the inside open to catch dirt and mud. My biggest issue was the rear doors not fitting. I am...

Well, as expected, they scammed me. I sent them many more picture's of the ill fitting flares an here is their answer: Jonny L (ProTuningLab) Jun 8, 2023, 09:33 PDT Mike, After looking at your video and pictures that you sent us, we have determined that the fitment is adequate and...

These flares are flush at the fender next to the door. The front of them needs about 1-2 inches trimmed. The rear flares need to be cut to be able to open and close the door. Yes these are the same Iflares. I bought them from the link in your post. On my 2020 Ranger I paid a lot more for Air...

What do you think of these? I got a set and I am disappointed. They do not fit without cutting and doing a ton of modifying.

On another note, do all the Bronco Sports have the little Bronco window sticker just below the rear windshield washer? I can only see from the inside because of the tinted glass.

I took it back to Ford today and they replaced the AWD module. On the way home my mph was 2.5 mph faster on the highway. 72.5 mph was actually 75 mph and below 50 it was only 1 mph faster than actual. So at those numbers I am not going to worry about it. That's not enough to get a ticket. Also...

You are correct that the original metric specs are 2202. All the charts I used for the 245/65/17 came out to 2357. Mostly all came up with the 2357 value. However many were all over the place for the 225/65/17. Some were 2273, 2275, etc. So you may be correct in your results. I wonder how so...

I have 3000 miles on my 2023 Big Bend and I get 29 to 33. Only upgrades have been 245 KO2's and a mini lift. I used the ECO mode in the beginning but the normal mode gets the same. I am pleased.

I've been married 45 years to 5 women....nope just kidding. I love my wife. She doesn't always appreciate my sense of humor....well seldom, but we have a great retired life.

I am definitely convinced that Forscan interfered with he function of the AWD module in the BCM. At least on my 2023 Bronco Sport. It doesn't like having the tire size changed. The Ford service tech confirmed this. I do not know if it just a malfunction on my BCM or all are like this, I had...

All I did for the Bambi setting was change the fog lights off setting to on when the bright lights are are on. Not really any big change.

Actually, I can't say for sure but I think so. Everything was fine for the double honk and the Bambi lights. When I changed the tire size, the codes come up soon after. First the AWD fault which was the culprit for the PCM to get confused. The service tech validated this by saying the BCD had...
