I've read a number of posts where the wireless system can be hit and miss, with several folks reporting prominent heat buildup. I can't imagine that's healthy for the phone long term. Others seem to have no problems. Will be a moot point in 2026 as Ford deleted BS wireless charging across all...

That's not why I posted this. Simply as a fairly thorough resource for folks trying to figure out the current interface. I haven't used the BS system yet so have no opinion. I'm coming from a 21 Mazda CX-5 with console controlled, no touch screen system with full, traditional HVAC knobs and...

"Cars with Steve" also has a very thorough overview of the 25 BS tech.

Exactly. I've never owned a Ford and although the later BSBLs seem to have most of the kinks worked out, it is uninspiring to read about the quality issues (1.5L versions in particular). However, the BS is the only vehicle that checks all of my boxes at this point in my life. Nearing the end of...

Relieving worry has value on its own. Especially when the vehicle’s planned use is more than a decade.

Wife? I'm more worried about me.

There's no free lunch, is there?

Yes, it all comes down to risk tolerance. Warranty insurance is expensive and might never be used. Seems better to take the $2-4,000 that would pay for a premium plan at purchase and set it aside in an account for the duration of ownership. If you own it for 3-5 years, you have a full or...

Nice rig.

It is now live.

Interesting. There seems to be a mix on ford's new 2026 BS page but when I start a build and price, the BL front bumper is black as in my image. If you add the SAS package, the front is black, but the rear is silver. Time will tell.

They are mighty proud of those bars. I've been ambivalent about them except for their potential role mitigating damage to the radiator should I smack a deer. I'm out west and it's common to see roadkill, usually 1-3 every road trip depending on season. I've had a couple friends over the decades...

This is consistent with what I have learned over the past few months. That's why I'm hoping they've added the Cross Terrain A/T as it seems to be rated marginally higher (the Cross Contact ATR has few reviews). At the end of the day, I'll still be 80-90% on pavement and have no "rock crawling"...

I'm coming from a 21 CX-5 Sig with the console control wheel and non-touchscreen, even for Carplay. I got used to it although it took a year or two of use to become proficient. I'm OK with it. All HVAC are knobs and buttons. I'm prepared for mild annoyance as I learn the BS system, but it will...

I have the sticker, and it is silent about tire model. The website for my order says this and includes a nondescript tire image:ire

I'm inclined to agree. The bull/nudge bar is now an optional add-on available only with the SAS Package.

Hello folks, I appreciate the information on this forum. It helped me greatly with decision-making. On 11/05/2025 I ordered a BSBL and have received a total of 3 notices from Ford so far on progress with yesterday's email reporting that it has been shipped. Estimated delivery to SLC, UT between...

This brought a smile to my face. Springbars are heritage tents that can be passed down from generation to generation. Worth every penny in my experience. I have an Outfitter style. They are made across town from me.

Here's my personal data point. I placed a retail order at the dealership for a 26 BL about ~12 days ago. On Nov 6 I received notice from Ford confirming receipt and 3 days later an order # with VIN arrived which stated: "The production of your 2026 Broncosport Badlands™ vehicle is slated to...
