Old Coast Road, Big Sur CA:

Back again from a bit of hiatus. Really haven't been doing a whole lot with our Badlands other than enjoying it. But one thing that I have been contemplating was installing JcrOffroad's Catalytic Converter Skid Plate as between wanting to get out onto more of the trails around Big Sur and the...

Nice follow-up. I've actually been a bit surprised at the fact that Ford simply has to be using several different wiring harness SKUs for the Bronco Sport. On the one hand I'm sure that that while there is some cost savings in leaving some of the wiring out, the counterpoint would be in...

And... Installed... Before: After: Installation was (almost) a snap. The only issue I ran into was that the two bolt clips (in case JCW is reading, the ones labeled #2) were quite literally just a few millimeters too short on my early-build Badlands. This added maybe an hour to the...

Very cool. Would very likely be interested in something that covers the Cat section.

%$#^ That Inflation... 😁😁😁😎

Less than 2 weeks old, January (and about 10 degrees) in the Midwest and very short initial trips.

Apologies for not getting back sooner @Rane. Been off the board for a bit... Since you got the factory tow package, you should have the 10 gauge 40 amp line all the way to the back: The line is deep blue with a bright red stripe. The shop manual shows the line "should" run all the way to...

It may be possible to do, but it will involve a bit of work. The Forscan community has a pretty well documented post on how to go about it: REMOTE START - FORScan forum At some point I'll likely give it a try, but haven't yet had the time.

@Broncosaurus I tend to agree with Mark as I have a habit of over-thinking things as well. ? I saw the same U-Haul 18" statement on their web site and since I was doing some of my planning from a distance (Badlands was still in Illinois and I was in California) I got 2 hitch mounts from Amazon...

Looks like the factory hitch is less than an inch higher than the Curt hitch. Not really enough to make a difference. I'd either use the same ball mount as I did (Curt 7.500lb with a 4" drop) or if you wanted just a tad more bias towards the receiver end you could go with a 6" drop. The...

This is something that I've seen come up on a number of forums with regards to Ford's EcoBoost engines. The reality is that given the rather sophisticated electronics in a lot of modern turbocharged, direct injected engines, many of them can take advantage of better fuel if they get it. Is...

I used the 6x12 U-Haul twice with a Honda Ridgeline (one my few non Fords over the years) so I know how you feel. The 5x8 worked for our needs but it was packed tight. Other than playing around with the settings, this was really the first time I used one of the GOAT modes in a situation where...

A while back I added a Curt receiver and trailer wiring to our Badlands as there had always been an intention to be able to do light towing with it. I posted about the wiring work back in October: Trailer Wiring Install for Bronco Sport Using Factory Power Circuit (Part Two – Installation) |...

Yes, it is something I did take into consideration when adding my trailer wiring: Trailer Wiring Install for Bronco Sport Using Factory Power Circuit (Part Two – Installation) | 2021+ Ford Bronco Sport Forum - Broncosportforum.com Ford did provide a 40amp circuit in the Battery Junction Box...

I was originally able to pull the information from here: https://cyanlabs.net/asbuilt-db/sync3-apim/?search=Bluetooth+Vehicle+Nameplate+ID+%28BVNI%29 BTW - Since I originally posted this, Ford has added a Bronco Sport (as well as Maverick) specific ID with a recent firmware update instead of...

Not sexy but here is our Badlands hooked up to a 5x8 U-Haul. Tomorrow it goes on a 2,200 mile run from Springfield IL to Monterey CA. I'll post about how it went after we get there.

I'll try my best, but bear with me as the Bandlands and I are separated by about 2,200 miles at the moment... The wiring for the 4 pin connector was pulled through a preexisting rubber grommet located between the driver's rear wheel well and the back hatch (once the trim panel is pulled it is...

Nothing that I've changed so far on the Bronco Sport has needed a reset/relearn but like most everyone it wasn't possible to make changes to the BCM module until this latest version release. So most changes I have made so far have been to the APIM (aka Sync). On my Fiesta ST I've done several...

I was actually curious if anyone had tested a BCM write with the 2.3.44 version yet. Thanks for confirming. Unfortunately my Badlands and I are separated until Christmas (new job in CA and it is really my wife's ride so it is still in the Midwest) so I can't do much testing right now ?
