    Would you trade in the Sport for the Big Bronco? Why or why not??

    I traded my '21 BS BL for a '21 Bronco 2dr OBX way back in '21. Probably should have kept it because my wife missed the BS so much she bought a '22 BS BL for herself. I've really like the Bronco so last year I traded the 2dr for a '23 4dr WildTrak. The BS and Bronco are totally different...

    A brand divided?

    I think you pretty much nailed it. My wife has a BS BL and I have a Bronco Wildtrak. She loves her BS and I like it as well, it's more comfortable, better MPG and more practical than the Bronco. But is it a "Bronco", no, it's a "Bronco Sport". We having a running joke between us, when people say...

    $148 for aftermarket 'Ford' emblem...

    I have the blacked out one and I'm really happy with it. Sure it's a lot of money but it looks a whole lot better than the vinyl stickers you can get to put over the badge. You get what you pay for.

    Folding Headrests

    I bought a set Roast folding headrests on ebay a couple of months ago from a scrapyard, came from a totaled '21, fit perfectly in our '22 BL. I paid $125 for all three rear headrests with free shipping.

    Broncos must have invisible family ties.

    The Bronco is probably a Sasquatch, much bigger tires and lifted. Just to give some perspective the length of the BS is 172.7, the 2dr Bronco is 173.7 and the 4dr is 189.4. Overall width for the BS is 82.2 with mirrors and 74.3 without. Bronco is 75.9 with mirrors folded, 84.2 with mirrors. The...

    Outer Banks vs Badlands

    I didn't want to beat a dead horse, the main thing I wanted to point out is there indeed is a real difference between the engines and the BL from the rest of the lineup. Whether it applies to how you use the BS is your own call, use and $$ make the decision for you. Just don't think I bought the...

    Outer Banks vs Badlands

    1.3 seconds is not an insignificant number but one number that gets lost is torque, the 1.5L puts out 181 HP and 190 pound-feet of torque, the 2.0L puts out 250 HP and 277 pound-feet of torque. A lot more low end grunt for off roading. Just to give you some comparisons a 2.3L Bronco engine...

    No integrated map or navigation...wtf???

    If you check the Maverick, Bronco or F150 forums you can find threads. Basically you need to find a Ford Sync 3 Gen 4 with Navigation APIM 3.4, found mine on eBay. If you have Forscan you can program your VIN number yourself or most vendors that sell the APIM will program it for you, must match...

    No integrated map or navigation...wtf???

    The Maverick does not offer navigation at all. I'm rather fond of built-in nav so I got a APIM module off eBay with nav and did a swap, now I have a Maverick with nav, you could do the same for the BS.

    Fully loaded Big Bend vs bare bones Badlands?

    And just a further thought, don't settle if you don't have too, you will just regret it. Get exactly what you want even if it means waiting a few months to get it because you will be so much happier for it. How do I know this? Settled for a OBX because I could get it, nice ride but I really...

    Fully loaded Big Bend vs bare bones Badlands?

    I don't think any of us can tell you what is right for you. It all comes down to what you are going to use it for. The BB is fine if you are just going to the mall but if you feel like venturing off the road then I would go for the BL. If I was you I'd order a '23 and get exactly what you want...

    Outer Banks vs Badlands

    I've had both, the OBX was nice but I've never regretted getting the BL. If you get the OBX and really what we are saying is the 1.5 if you never drive a BL you won't know what you missed, just don't drive one.

    Badlands Dilemma

    Not much of a hassle at all, I sold 2 cars to Carmax last year, was a breeze, you get the offer, if you like it fill out some paperwork and they hand you a check. The tax thing certainly is something to consider, I would go to Carmax and get an offer before you visit the dealer, you can use that...

    Badlands Dilemma

    I originally bought a modestly equipped OBX, when a loaded BL became available 1.5 months later I sold the OBX to Carmax for $5k more than I paid for it and bought the BL for MSRP. The sale of the OBX literally paid the difference between price of the two.

    The 2dr is pure, more like the original.
