I wonder what Ford is going to start using for the optional AT tires now, something tells me they're not going to use the new AT4W with that added weight.

You're first mistake was lifting a fwd based CUV. Just bring it back to stock and don't mess with it. If you want a big lifted rig get something like a regular Bronco.

961-A1 is intended to address issues Ford has had with premature timing chain guide wear (a big issue on a few models of Ford ecoboost motors) as well as improving low speed pre-ignition. The second one is to help prevent engine damage and carbon buildup. Ford put the spec in place for a reason...

I've had mine on over a year now, zero damage despite almost all highway miles. I even had someone apparently nudge my bumper in a parking lot and although it damaged the film there was zero damage to the paint underneath.

from the garden variety of stones and debris that you come across on most road ways, yes. It's also self healing. I don't understand why people spend hundreds of dollars on those front hood deflectors when for not much more they could have most of their front end protected instead of just a few...

Paint protection film pays for itself over time if you care about the appearance. For about $500 I covered the bumper, part of the fenders and hood, a-pillars and part of the roof with 3M Pro PPF.

Escape wheels will have a different offset, it's not terrible but it will set the wheels inward a little and can make it look a little goofy. Maverick steelies are super abundant and can be had for about $50 a wheel. OP Should head over to the MTC forums to look at the many offerings for take...

By all means, you do you but when it comes to a potential $8k warranty repair for an engine I'm not about to go with any "should" statements especially when there are plenty of good, relatively cheep full synthetics out there which DO meet Ford's specifications.

I believe only the extended performance meets Ford's spec for the 2.0 in your badlands. The normal Mobil 1 (the only type sold at Costco) does not meet that spec. I highlighted the specific spec straight out of your owner's manual. You need to look at the data sheet for whatever oil you choose...

Sorry to say but Mobil 1 does not technically satisfy Ford's requirements. If I were you I would double check the specs on your Mobil 1 if you purchased it from Costco but even Mobil's own website will not recommend Mobil 1 for anything other than the 1.5L engine. Ford updated their oil spec...

Could also be the start stop accumulator failing. When they leak they can spray a fine mist of transmission fluid since it's under a decent amount of pressure and they can also cause the same squeaking noise OP is describing. OP, if for nothing else than peace of mind I suggest turning your...

Find an alloy wheel repair shop near you. You can buy the tires online cheaper and just about every wheel repair shop will mount tires.

No tool required to relearn but Ford may have changed TPMS frequency from 315mhz to 433mhz for 2023 model year, still haven't been able to find out definitive info on this one.

They almost always can be added after the fact but it can be pricey considering they would need to refill and bleed the cooling system. I would figure 200-300 ballpark to install but that's just a guess.

Unfortunately the composite pans haven't "panned" out on other Ford models and have been leak prone and I doubt they will be any better on the 1.5L. More importantly, why is Ford increasing oil capacity by over a quart? What issue are they trying to correct?

You should post a photo of your engine and oil pan to assist us. I have not personally seen any Bronco Sport 1.5L with a composite pan

According to the BS owner's manual it's 5.3quarts for the 1.5L engine:

Eddy, you're missing out on a good opportunity to expand your market, the Maverick uses the same exact mirrors as the Bronco Sport. I know you probably can't advertise on the MTC forums but you should at least update your website for compatibility and sales, with over 100k Mavericks on the roads...

Interesting, just over 32 pounds isn't too bad for a larger AT type tire so I'm assuming there's a lot more rolling resistance compared to the Michelins which weigh about 26lbs if my memory serves me right. I do like Nitto products and I think this is a good tire for the capabilities of the BS...

I gave you visual aids with actual dimensions, not a wikipedia page with arbitrary and non BS specific specs. Believe what you choose but Ford engineers designed the bronco sport to handle and react with a specific scrub radius, my suggestion is to maintain it and put less stress on the already...
