    Will the BroncoSport ever have subscription services?

    "We want to charge you $200/year for heated seats in your $80k car." This is nickel and diming defined.

    What does this red error icon mean on my dash?

    The BLIS will also automatically shut off when you connect a wiring harness for towing

    Ford Bronco Sport Hybrid Prototype Potentially Spotted Testing

    I got one for my Escape I ordered, but I had to pay for it and I can't remember but I don't think it's a full size spare.

    Ford Bronco Sport Hybrid Prototype Potentially Spotted Testing

    Exactly my thoughts. I don't think the EV infrastructure, particularly the charging stations are nearly robust enough to go full EV for either of my vehicles yet, but I do have an order in (and waiting for a build date) on an Escape Plug-In Hybrid. If they offered that or even just a straight...

    black locking lug nuts links?

    This is what I have one mine. I've had them for almost a year. No issues. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002009A9A/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08429DV2X/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 They look excellent with the FE...

    Review from OFF-ROADEO Moab Bronco Sport 1st Class 5/6/22

    I reserved mine the day after the launch in July 2020 and took delivery in late December 2020 and I'm headed to Moab this month for the Off-Roadeo. I wouldn't worry about a time limit. Like someone else said, with all the delays COVID caused, they would be real a-holes if they tried to say...

    Tinting the moonroof

    I had mine tinted. Can't remember what level, but it was maybe like $80 just for the moonroof portion. My tint shop had no issue doing the moonroof on the Bronco Sport but they wanted me to sign a waiver if they did it on my Edge ST, which has a panorama roof (I opted not to tint it). Those...

    20% off Ford Accessories

    I'm not sure this would be as useful for me. I already have the gator back style splash guards and my Bronco Sport has plenty of dings and scratches from parking lots/garages in Chicago and the limited off roading I've done. I've made my peace with the scrapes / scratches. I don't run mine...

    20% off Ford Accessories

    What are those called? Never seen them before. They keep mud/dirt off the car, but do they hold onto it and take forever to clean at a car wash?

    Yamima's hitch mounted exo system is available on Amazon. I got one a few months back and really like it for long trips. Not sure it fits your needs though.

    Air mattress options

    I'm in the same boat. I got one a few months back, but the temps have been below freezing most nights. This weekend will be pretty warm though, so I may give it a go then.

    Holy price increase

    Yeah, I get that they're independent from Ford. I think the way you gamed it out is pretty close to what I would would do if the scenario presents itself, but I appreciate you playing out all the steps. I'll check out the link you dropped in the last post too. I don't think the dealership...

    Holy price increase

    Thanks for that info. I know the dealer won't try to charge me over MSRP on this (and I have X-Plan). I wasn't sure about the price jump between order and build/delivery though. Is there any more specific info I should be prepared to give the dealer about this or a dept. at the Ford...

    Holy price increase

    There wasn't any MSRP creep when I got my Bronco Sport, but I did order an Escape PHEV for my wife at the end of March. Is the price they quoted it at when I ordered set in stone or can they hit me with like a 7% MSRP hike when I eventually take delivery?

    Holy price increase

    The only problem with that is getting one in a timely manner. Ford has built roughly twice as many Bronco Sports as they have Rangers so far this year.

    Interior Fuse Block Access.

    This post / thread saved me me a ton of time and probably breaking something I shouldn't have when I hard wired my radar detector to the #3 spare fuse yesterday using an add-a-circuit. I think getting the blendmount onto the rearview mirror was shockingly more tedious and difficult than doing...

    Bronco Sport EV

    There was a specific reason Ford couldn't sell the BS in Europe as is or without some redesign. I think the wheels being flush with the edge of the body was part of the problem.

    Bronco Off-Rodeo Event in Austin, TX

    I switched this to Moab, now that it's available for the Bronco Sport.

    Factory class 2 trailer hitch opening

    How do you like this? Any tips / tricks? I just picked one up with the top shelf and two gear boxes. I also got a control key so all the SKS cores match, but haven't installed it yet (waiting for the "heat wave" on Wednesday into the 50s).

    Bronco Off-Rodeo Event in Austin, TX

    I'm guessing they have less demand for the BS vs. the Bronco? The Austin location also seems to have been around the longest. Are the Vegas, Moab and NH locations fully up and running for the Bronco now?
