  1. Need advice. Am I getting "screwed"? Should I allow dealership to add this to new badlands I'm about to order?

    They're counting on you wanting the BL so badly that you'll put up with their fees. Just say NO to anything you don't want and be prepared to walk for a while - a battle of wills. Definitely shop around and if you're near a state border, go over it to see if doc fees are less. I did that and...
  2. Why did you order a Bronco Sport?

    I had been planning to get a Subaru Forester so I could get a rugged AWD vehicle with a bit of towing power, but at the time the Forester only had small engine that was known to be weak. I was also so-so on how it looked. Out comes the 2021 BS and I fell in love at first site and decided to...
  3. Will plastidip hurt the paint on the back of my tailgate or on my grille?

    what color Plasti Dip did you use? I'm going to try the anthracite color on mine.
  4. Bronco Sport Security Ideas?

    :) Agree, I have a pouch on order, I hope to use the app for this as well. Good info, Thanks.
  5. Bronco Sport Security Ideas?

    Thanks, I'm looking forward to checking out the Fordpass and may investigate that shutoff idea, my BL will be here in a couple of weeks. I'm not worried so much about smash and grab even though it happens a lot where I live, because I use a home garage already and I'm also careful about what's...
  6. Bronco Sport Security Ideas?

    What are some ways to keep your BS secure from theft? Cost-conscious ideas? E.g. Faraday bags for the Key FOB, low monthly cost trackers, etc.
  7. Our Bronco Sport either needs engine replacement or may be total loss...and the water barely reached the front bumper. For Parts, For Scrap, For Sale?

    I'm waiting for my BS to come in in a couple weeks, in the meantime, IDK if this helps, but my current RAV4 went thru this when I went thru about 13-14 inches of water - engine died 1/2 way thru the giant puddle and had to be replaced with a similarly aged engine. The damn tail pipe on that...
  8. Waiting room

    And there it is... the email stating the new build date is July 26th now. At least the old Toyota is still chugging along. sigh...
  9. Waiting room

    Hi - I ordered my blue BL+BL w tow on March 31 and still have a build date of May 31, but considering so many others are still waiting, I have my doubts (date only changed once so far). Other than the Ford email w/ links, is there any other way to track the build date? I've had the VIN # for...
  10. My Badlands build

    I also tried the Costco No Haggle program and didn't use that dealer either - he was also far away from me and the $699 doc fee more than erased the $500 discount from the MSRP price he was offering. I went over my state border where doc fees are restricted to $75 and overall got a better price.
  11. Bronco Sport production to be paused due to supply shortages

    Interesting about the VIN number, I have mine already and the schedule says the end of May, I won't get my hopes too high! thanks.
  12. Bronco Sport Badlands dies crossing 20" of Water

    fyi - I stopped using AAA for my RAV4 got caught in about 12 in. of water on a regular paved road (had to have the engine replaced after) and AAA refused to help me tow it out of the water. My insurance had coverage for that though so I used them instead - yours might too. Hoping I don't have...
  13. 60% of Bronco Sport owners coming from different brands. Are you?

    I was waiting and waiting to see if the new Forester would have a stronger engine for over a year, they didn't and the Bronco Sport magically appeared at the right time, can't wait until my order comes in!
  14. Dealer mark up price

    I would ask the out of state dealer about how the taxes work, I'm pretty sure I'm paying my instate tax rate, not the out of state taxes even though the dealer is there. Still I don't know how great a Costco dealer would be since the experience is supposed to be "no haggle" - so pretty inflexible.
  15. Dealer mark up price

    Sure - while I went thru their program - it's ok and the dealer I went to was no pressure and there was a dealer discount of just under $500 from the MSRP, BUT the discount was wiped out by an excessive Doc fee of approx. $700. Doc fees depend on what state you're in, so do an internet search...
  16. Dealer mark up price

    I'm trying the Costco Auto program and will probably find out in a week or so the pricing after i meet with them (they are almost an hour away though). I suspect some dealers are trying to take advantage of this model and the mustang as they are supposedly a hot commodity and not always readily...
  17. Badlands vs Outer Banks

    that's good news about the mpg - thanks!
  18. Badlands vs Outer Banks

    I just came back from my Badlands test drive, decision is made! So the Badlands vs. Outer banks - while I did not test the Outer Banks - I did look at one inc. the interior. I did test the Big Bend (same engine) - I highly recommend if you haven't test driven with the two different engines, that...
