Most used car dealers, especially the big guys like CarMax, Carvana, Vroom, etc.. are still struggling with inflated inventories that they acquired at a premium during and since covid. Ford dealerships won't want a used BS if they have new ones on the lot, especially with the plummeting price...

I'm in Colorado, like you. The market is still pretty hot for desirable vehicles. Getting MSRP is do-able if you shop around and are patient. Most dealerships will sell at MSRP, some even a bit under if you custom order as you have done. I think you're in a good spot with your x-plan pricing...

35K miles out of the Scorpion ATR is about right... The upgraded tire option from Ford for our Badlands is the Falken Wildpeak AT3W in 235/65-17. They're a great all around tire that performs well in most conditions. Slush and ice being their weakness, but that's typical for most unless you...

You want a dash cam. I've had dash cams in all my cars starting with my 2016 F-350 and with sentry mode on our Model Y it's another level. I'm really unsure how the insurance industry hasn't all but forced cars to have cams at this point. Anyway, having a dash cam has saved my butt once...

Why wait? You might get lucky on the engine cover... I have a unicorn '22 Badlands delivered with an engine cover.

Given the parts-availability trend and what happened from the '21 to '22 Badlands (and other trims), I'm expecting the '23s to suffer another round of lost features. Of all the missing features on our '22 BL Sport that are there on the '21 BL Sport, the one that irks me the most is the...

You should have your window sticker by now and it should be in production... Now that your 3/25 has passed and they don't usually reschedule if you get that close to the date. Worth the wait. We've had our loaded '22 BS BL in Bronze for over a month now.

The Falken Wildpeak AT3W's - 235/65-17, 104H rating, are not unique or special for the Bronco Sport. Can be bought from Tire Rack, Discount, others. Had to buy one a few months back when I ran over a bolt or rebar or something like that in the dark. Discount Tire got me one from the local...

I was surprised to get it. I know a few '22s (all Badlands with the 2.0L) did trickle out with the engine covers early in production. My door tag says it's an 01/22 build, but we were originally queued for production in December, then pushed ahead to mid November and my production date/status...

Our ‘21 BL does not. But then I got thinking and remembered our ‘22 BL does. Had a total brain fart there. So I took a look to see for sure. Here’s a pic under the hood of our ‘22 BL. Insulator is there. And we have something else most do not and it came from the factory this way, believe...

Yeah the rear cargo mat adds a bit of weight and protection and then your rear floor cover doesn't wiggle as much or jump around. Or just store more crap back there. Full size spare comes on First Edition and Badlands by default. I think it comes on the other trims, or maybe one of them, if...

Cool. I guess I just didn't remember the chrome lugs on the FE and that was throwing me off. I guess that's what the look like on our Badlands, just seemed a lot brighter and was throwing me off with the black wheels... which I already knew the FE had black wheels. Anyhooo.

Yes, if it were true there would at least be a service bulletin. Sounds like some engineering type trying to spitball a reason for parts not being there, when parts shortages are in fact the actual reason Ford has already given. FWIW, Ford is not shipping *ANY* of their current vehicles with...

Top and pillars are black on First Edition, same as on Badlands. FE comes with the black lettering and black side decal stripes and black hood decals from the factory. Interior of the FE is the same as the Badlands w/ premium package leather, but the seats are the Navy Pier color scheme...

Haven't read through the rest of the posts, but you should be good. If you sign and agree to a price, it's pretty much binding. There is always a slight chance they could try and alter the deal on you, but it's pretty rare that dealerships actually do this. Doc fee is a bit high, but in many...

Our '21 is Alto Blue and the '22 is Bronze Smoke. Really like both colors, but the Alto Blue is my favorite. We ordered the Bronze before anyone had seen it and then initial pictures had me a bit worried. It's a nice color though and really pops in the sun. My only complaint about the Bronze...

Ford has no position on this as the dealerships are independent and set their own pricing. For now, with all the shortages, anything that's sitting on the lot in general inventory is going to have a markup just about anywhere you go. Some of the smaller dealerships or those off the beaten path...

The intelligent access / door key code is great. Been making sure all my vehicles have it or something equivalent. Hmmm... This would be a first. I have not tried it on the Bronco Sport, but the system (I believe) supports up to 4 keys and companion MyKey profiles and it shouldn't be a big...

...but only 2, maybe 3, days per week. That's how often the Ford tracker actually works. You will usually get an email at each production milestone. Sometimes those emails come in a day or two after the check mark shows in the tracker. Sometimes you don't get an email. It's a little...

The bulletin about this was dated for the 1st. But I don't think any '22s have been built with an engine cover, maybe the first batch. Ford is still trying to source them and has them in the parts catalog so you can order one if it really bothers you that much. Might take a while to get it...
