I ordered my 2021 Badland fully loaded with all the packages for sticker price, which was just under $39k. I most likely will not be buying one today at $46k.
They are basically a loaded Big Bend and Badlands, mechanically and engines, just different paint jobs and interior bits. I don't expect the reviews to be much different from their counterparts.
I got it off Amazon. Look for Bronco Sport Knob covers. They are made of aluminum alloy, just beware, it was below freezing this morning, and they were ice cold to the touch when I went to shift.
I'm glad there is a cheaper option now, I got the Redline ones, pretty much same installation. It opens pretty smoothly and no problems closing it. The car definitely feels more premium with the struts.
The Bronco looks bigger because the fender flares stick out more, bigger tires, and sits higher. In the comparisons, there's only about an inch or less difference with most of the interior dimensions.
I live in NYC, and yes, I always had lower city mpg than advertised in all the cars I've owned. There is just too much idling, stop and go, red lights every other block, plus there is too much accelerating and braking that it just eats the mpgs away. The BS is the first car I have with auto...
