    Outer Banks vs Badlands

    My 2021 BL came with 235/65 tires. A bit wider and chunkier compared to the low profile tires on the OB. Upper trim levels or sports packages typically bolster the stance of the vehicle. For example, the difference between the Ford Explorer XLT and the very cool ST. It's all in the wheels and tires.

    Outer Banks vs Badlands

    OB is like driving a BL in ECO mode. The wider stance and meatier tires of a BL matches the elevated performance of the 2.0. There's nothing like effortlessly passing slower cars climbing hills in northern Michigan.

    First trip car camping in Bronco Sport

    I car camped for the first time on the shores of Lake Superior in Michigan's UP. I am 5'10" and simply packed the seat cushion off my porch glider for padding, a pillow and sleeping bag. A little tight on leg room but there are work-arounds, for sure. Thunderstorms rolled in at night and...

    We love our BS.... but name one thing you dislike about it

    On a recent road trip, ice built up in the joint of the driver side windshield wiper, impacting contact and impairing my vision. It took a pitstop at a rural Ford dealership and a thorough service manager to locate the problem and fix it. Either a rare freak occurrence or a stupid design flaw...

    Knobs + Buttons

    Do the buttons just light up to reflect the mode? Nothing is activated when they are pushed? I'm in the UP of Michigan for the holiday weekend and have used the Slippery mode quite a bit by turning the knob.

    Knobs + Buttons

    Thank you. I could only find information on the GOAT modes in the manual, not the buttons. I'll check again.

    Knobs + Buttons

    Can someone explain the four buttons around the GOAT knob? Are they used independently or in conjunction with the GOAT modes? I've Googled, YouTubed, etc ...

    Wireless CarPlay Adapter?

    Did a message go out recently on FordPass about this? Or was it just a basic SYNC 3 update? I must have deleted it!

    Leather vs. Cloth Seat Comfort?

    For what it's worth, the dealer only had a BB on the lot when I went shopping for a Badlands. I also found the cloth seats very basic and underwhelming. I was disappointed. Fast forward three months and I'm not sure if the Badlands cloth seats are designed differently but they sure are...

    Badlands VS. Outer Banks

    The engine and transmission on my '14 Escape died around 70,000 miles. One month after I paid it off. I was so livid I ended up leasing a Subaru Crosstrek. Well, now I'm back with Ford and must admit I picked the Badlands trim to avoid the 1.5L engine. After reading some of the comments, it...
