The transmission and rear drive coolers are very welcome additions. I'm really glad they added those. But in my opinion, the jury is still out whether you need to drive it like a rally car to overheat things. I want to see how it fares in 100 degree summers, out in SoCal desert, while performing...

Concerning sleeping in the back of a BS, I climbed into the back of an Outer Banks at my local dealership and to sleep in one of those, you'll definitely need to push the front seats forward and build a platform for your head (or just pile a bunch of stuff in the rear seat footwells). For my...

This will probably prove itself to be the most useful post in the history of this forum.

Just out of curiosity, would you have avoided that boulder with an extra inch of ground clearance? It looks like it was stuck on the undercarriage.

Yeah, I find that strange, too. I was under the impression that they were touting an open platform for people to modify their vehicles. I love the 1” lift they debuted on the Bronco Sport Badlands Trail Rig concept. If I get a Bronco Sport, that is how I’d want to configure it. I wonder if a...

Now I do! That makes the decision that much easier!

That looks good. I've been curious about what type of lift would be optimal for the Bronco Sport. I am not too far from Atlas Spring and was wondering if new leaf springs would be advisable for the Sport. I had them throw new leaf springs on my work van (GMC Savana 1500 AWD) and they've been...

I am a cinematographer that travels all over the country, often to pretty remote places and I just don't want to get stuck. My 2015 Forester obviously can't deal with it and it has stranded me twice now, overheating both times. Before I got my InReach, some of the areas I traveled to could be...

"The hardcore Rock Crawl mode was employed only as needed; same with the rear locker. As it's not a true mechanical locking differential, the latter will overheat if you leave it on constantly and the computer will reduce engine power to cool it, but you don't need it most of the time, anyway."...

Dude, the only person I see being overly sensitive and emotional to what is otherwise a normal discussion is you. Don’t take everything so personal. People are free to bring up possible criticisms and concerns over a new vehicle. Two different reviewers mentioned the overheating, not one. And I...

I have run into it with my Subaru twice now. I have a 2015 Forester with 61k miles on it. Both incidents happened last August. And now I don’t trust the vehicle anymore. I was looking into switching over to a Bronco Sport but after those two reviews, I am going to wait and see if people have...

Actually, if you click on those links the reviews are almost entirely positive. Even their headlines are positive. The overheating incidents were nestled quietly within each review and I doubt many people noticed them. But I did. And I think it’s a legitimate concern. Despite the Bronco Sport...

I have been considering the Bronco Sport Badlands, but there’s one thing that’s been bothering me since it was released, and that is heat. Will the Bronco Sport really be able to handle it if you push it in hot weather? Or even in regular conditions? Some of the latest reviews released this week...
