Well it took three visits but I guess "third time was the charm" (along with some disappointing negative survey feedback for Ford). LIke so many others on this forum and the Facebook groups, my 2021 Badlands started making a bizarre series of engine noises after about 2-3 months of ownership...

Thank you sir (or madam), I'd be happy to. I'm not familiar enough with this forum to know how to send a separate private message to you...can you provide the best address to send you a DM? Thanks

Good point on trying it in neutral...I've not tried that yet and just assumed it was a transmission issue. If it's doing it in neutral at the same RPM point (mine is also right around 1500 or rolling at about 10mph) I wonder if it's something less egregious like a belt vibration or a valve...

Exact same noise/rattle for my 2021 Badlands but in every mode. Interestingly enough, usually requires the engine to warm up first...doesn't seem to happen for the first few minutes after a cold start. Which may explain why the dealership said "could not replicate" the first time I took it in...

They disallowed it in the end. Oh well!

My son’s riding lesson horse stopped for a bite right beside the Badlands on his way back to the paddock. Couldn’t resist the double entendre shot.

Well after a 10-month wait, a cancellation of my June build lot rot order, and a frantic search to pre-buy incoming dealer inventory (of which there is almost zilch for fully loaded Badlands!) I managed to snag this beauty and picked it up last night! Everything I wanted in the build, just in...

I had to give up on my Alto Blue lot rotter. Finally was able to find a local dealer with a Carbonized Grey BL+BL arriving October 16th with full load. As colour was the least important priority to me after BL package, 360+, upgraded tires and tow package...I jumped on it with a deposit...

I was about to say the same thing. Stereotype? If I move into a cul-de-sac full of lesbians I'm not going to buy myself a Subaru Outback...just like if I move into a cul-de-sac full of hillbillys I'm not going to buy an ultra-lifted Dodge Ram with a cow catcher, 40" tires and testicles hanging...

I cancelled my order and got my deposit back after it was confirmed that Ford was giving two giant middle fingers to patient and loyal customers that got shafted by being part of the June build window. No was I was going to watch my January-ordered Badlands wile away in the hot sun and collect...

I finally have a window sticker for my fully loaded BL/BL ordered January 26th. It shows my ride was built on June 4th but, like so many others, it's sleeping on a Hermosillo tarmac...awaiting chips for the 360+ and whatever other electronic goodies that were included with the BL package. I...

Good luck to you and hopefully the OB's contain fewer chips than the Badlands. Still waiting with no ETA for my January 26th ordered Badlands. I'm one of the lucky ones whose ride is fully built and baking in a Mexican holding lot waiting for those damn chips.

It'll be a two-fer for me. I want the fully loaded BL+BL because it is the perfect blend of creature comforts and performance in a vehicle that I could take off-road, and only taking up a single space in my garage/driveway! If I can't get my BL due to further delays, I'll be looking at a...

They totally should have offered the moonroof as optional, even with the BL + BL. I only wanted the BL package for every upgrade BESIDES the moonroof...now the one thing I didn't really want is costing me months of extra wait time.

Totally understandable, I feel your pain! I ordered January 26th and while I have a VIN# at least, still no window sticker and no update as to when exactly my Bronc will be built. Same problems of course...I ordered a tow package, 360+ and the Badlands package...everything that is delaying...

You bet Steven, I'll let you know if it passes inspection, LOL. Texas and Alberta are just brothers from a different mother, so if it passes here I would be surprised if it isn't allowed in the Lone Star State!

This is STILL the best picture I have of my Bronco Sport...sorry gang! Like Cinderella, "someday my prince will come".

Mine is currently under review by the government. Hoping I can sneak it across without the vulgarity police nixing it!

Nothing like having ALL THREE of those options on your order and wondering if it will ever see the light of day! January 26th order date with a confirmed VIN# on April 9th and a supposed build date now of May 24th. Fingers crossed.

Great explanation Jofer! I try to explain it away using a snowshoe analogy...same idea.
