    Ford blinks on EV production.

    After my Bronco Sport was lost in production, I tried a Hybrid Maverick. It was a disaster and I sold it went back to the last normally-aspirated pickup I could buy, a new Nissan Frontier Pro4X. Almost $50K out-the-door and ~20MPG, but it is reliable without the hybrid issues and turbo...

    Blown Motor 2021 Bronco Sport Big Bend

    I have a story for the CarFax disciples: A few years ago, a driver in an adjacent lane, fortunately traveling in the same direction, fell asleep and sideswiped my wife in her one year old Ford. Damage was >$4000. The report was filed by a large city police department, two nationally known...

    Ford Bronco Sport Hybrid Prototype Potentially Spotted Testing

    6000 miles in so far on a Maverick hybrid. If they offer the Bronco Sport in a hybrid, my wife's all in for trading her '20 CX-5 for one. FWD only would be fine for us.

    Is the Outer Banks a 4X4 or AWD?

    Essentially, it is AWD by most offroad conventions (no true locker or low-range gearbox). However, it does emulate some of those functions with arguable success.

    Flip-Up Rear Glass - An Essential Feature?

    Maybe not as attractive, but style shouldn't trump function when you're going to all the trouble and expense to add the feature. The old Escape didn't look that bad in the back. Classic case of style over substance

    June Builds sitting in the Mexican Desert

    If they have dealership lots full of immobile vehicles, they may have to change their blue oval signage to match the new "Found On Lot Dead" jingle customers will adopt. Of course, the signage may become ominous for some of the dealerships.

    Flip-Up Rear Glass - An Essential Feature?

    As a former 1st gen Escape owner that was very vocal about the loss of the this feature with the arrival of the "jellybean SUVs", I will say that while I sorely miss the larger, more useful early Escape flip glass, the Sport's implementation is so poor that I could care less about its existence...

    Comparison between Crosstrek, Sport, and Cherokee

    Interesting, this is the first I've heard of this. All of the Ford pre-release press indicated the wet timing belt. Thanks for posting.

    Ford moving toward build-to-order, away from huge dealer inventories

    Stupidest idea ever. This "order and wait" process with the Bronco and Bronco Sport has pissed off more customers than ever before. If these products were not unique, many would have fled to other manufacturers with available product (as some have). Ford has a history of thinking they "know...

    Getting Concerned About My Order

    This was my scheduled build week, I'm beginning to think my order has fallen into an abyss. No update from Ford in a long while.

    Waiting room

    I have not received any correspondence past "Scheduled for Production". So, no VIN to track or anything else. Can I check for a window sticker otherwise? Thanks.

    Waiting room

    We shall see. Mine has neither the CP360+ nor the moonroof and a schedule week of 7-26, but no correspondence in a long while.

    Bronco Sport will get new Refresh95 Cabin Air Filter in the Fall

    Re-circulation is your friend regarding skunk roadkill. I often leave it there during their mating season (February here) when they tend to get TKO'd running out in the road during their rituals.

    Information about My Order Details

    Not speaking for the OP, but in general. In my area, which is not too small, there are no "service vehicles" to be had. Even sizable dealerships have sold all they had to stay afloat. I know someone needing warranty work that was referred to Enterprise Rental to get their own car at their own...

    Southern Arizona Desert in a Bronco Sport - Part 2 (with bonus dry lakebed)

    Excellent video! Very good aerial videography technique, including keeping the drone's shadow out of the frame. Keep 'em coming.
