  1. Thinking of trading in our 2022 Badlands for a 2025 Badlands...

    What dealer are you dealing with? I'm in Wildomar and LE Ford wanted to offer 20102 for my 22 Badlands. I have had no issues other than the battery and was just toying with trading for a Fullsize cuz I just acquired another full size dog in a 72 pound lab. The kennels fit with the seats down but...
  2. Don't waste time on envy... just get the best ride you can afford and enjoy!

    I'd still be a two truck family if it weren't for fuel prices but I do love my Badlands for what it is. Gets me out on sketchy hiking trail heads, takes me on lots of adventures and the Silverado continues to be the tow vehicle when I need one.
  3. I'm out, traded for a 2025 RAV4

    Seems a pretty common complaint on the 1.5 trims, time in dealership. :frown:
  4. What else do you drive?

    LOL Sounds bout right! Grew up with horses, still know the names of some good ones, the people? Not so much.
  5. What else do you drive?

    This one was Gabby. She was my personal horse that passed away in 2023. Now I ride friend's horses rather than have my own. I have friends with more horses than butts to ride them.
  6. Undecided, trim level

    Part time adventurer here with a 22 badlands currently sitting at 53297 miles. I have had 0 issues with it. I drove all the trims and the 1.5 versions were not going to work for my lifestyle and how I use a vehicle. The Badlands is more than an engine upgrade. Drive them both then decide.
  7. Brand new 2024 Bronco Sport Badlands - bucking at low speeds! The whole car shakes.Why? It's the transmission!

    There are some of those for sure. I do post on the pages about my adventures. There are a few of us who post our fun stuff and "hey did you know your vehicle does this" (like it has a bottle opener and the high setting on the seat warmer will fry your a$$). LMAO Then there are the "I"m on my way...
  8. Brand new 2024 Bronco Sport Badlands - bucking at low speeds! The whole car shakes.Why? It's the transmission!

    I'm on multiple bronco pages, both full size and sport, the smaller engine trims seem to have the most issues. Or maybe the least experienced owners who like to complain. Toss up where that lands honestly.
  9. Brand new 2024 Bronco Sport Badlands - bucking at low speeds! The whole car shakes.Why? It's the transmission!

    That's a bummer. I'm also in S CA. Did you buy all three from the same dealer? I have 53257 miles on my 22 badlands with 0 issues. I guess I got a unicorn. That's why even though the full size looks awesome, I don't want to risk issues. It's a Ford after all. Lifetime GM owner no problems, first...
  10. What else do you drive?

    A silverado (cuz truck things) and assorted equines, followed by my own two feet.
  11. Moab Bronco Off Rodeo Oct 2024

    I enjoyed it but the trail was basic for anyone who has OHV trail drove anywhere. Thing is, I was the only one out of ten who had ever been in the dirt! I also was the only one who owned a Badlands so buttons were different for everyone else. I rode tripped it from S CA and if it had not been...
  12. Sold my Badlands to CarMax Today - Its Gone

    I love my Badlands. I won't say it's the best I've ever owned because I still like the Chevy Avalanche I had because what it accomplished for me in my lifestyle at the time. (waterskier, horseowner tow vehicle). I think being that it was a 2.0 the resale value held because there were not an...
  13. Took advantage of the $6500 instant rebate!!!

    Yeah I"d be concerned if I paid full pop for an OBX or BB right now. Like already mentioned Badlands are a rarer vehicle, not so many in a sea of the others. I'm in S CA as well and I had to wait for one to come in when I bought April of 22. So glad too they didn't get me on the dealer mark up...
  14. Interesting day at the dealership.

    Honestly my salesguy only knew how to get my car on the app. LOL I learned everything else myself from doing or watching youtube videos.
  15. Would you trade in the Sport for the Big Bronco? Why or why not??

    While I like the look of a two door hard top, unless I could have a 3rd vehicle weekend driver, no. I bought the sport for what it is, small SUV. Replaced a GMC Terrain I hated that we only had 18 mos. Thing couldn't get out of it's own way hence the reason I went Badlands when I bought. I have...
  16. Read Before you buy a Bronco Sport!!

    I test drove the 1.5 versions and didn't buy one because it felt off to me. I didn't like the noise or the acceleration either. People really need to test drive all models before buying. There is a significant difference. I get people want mpg and cheap all in the same sentence but you can't get...
  17. Sport Windshield prone to attract rocks and chip easily

    I don't feel it's any worse than any other vehicle but in my area, the roads are worse than they have ever been. Last year we had rain that popped huge chunks of asphalt out and they are just now fixing them. I hang back from traffic and watch the road to be sure I don't land in a pot hole...
  18. So Grateful for the 2.0L

    Also want to extend my prayers for a complete recovery for your Mom! I will agree on the 2.0. Best bit of research I ever did was investigating both engines. I've been very satisfied. My 2100 mile road trip to Utah averaging 72 mph with cruise yielded me 29.1 mpg. Last week with hubby driving...
  19. Bottom of Consumer Reports ratings

    From what I see on group pages, most who buy the BB model do so out of mpg and price concerns. Perhaps an option on the OBX trim makes more sense.
  20. Bottom of Consumer Reports ratings

    The Badlands is a 2.0 model. So there is one, just not available on all trims.
