This may be a lame one, but I had a flat the other day on the highway. Cars whizzing by pretty close - I was wondering what I was in for. I popped open the rear hatch - getting the spare tire and jack out was easy - and keep in mind many new cars are coming without spare tires. My main shout out...
FYI - When I say tie it up, I mean that I want to keep my phone with me to use as a phone. With the MiFi, I can walk in a room (work or home), toss it on a table, and everyone has Wifi and I still have my phone on my person to use. I have used a MiFi for quite a few years - and they work great...
I wouldn't worry too much about the missing WiFi - mine BS came with it installed but I have never used it. To use it, I would have to buy an on-going subscription. If I have to get a separate subscription for a Wifi device, I prefer to use a mobile device like a Verizon MiFi (what I currently...
Adding to the previous comment - check your air filter - they may have checked or changed the air filter and the compartment may not be sealed (closed properly).
My water pump is being replaced next week (dripping but still drivable). I am at about 30K miles. Its on this forum in other places, but if your pump fails, be sure to get the newer pump (PN HX7Z-8501-B). I may ask to keep the old pump - I would like to take it apart to see what is going on...
I tend not to run my air conditioner much in the summer - and the Sport seems to buffet more than other cars I have had on the highway. I usually run on the highway with both rear windows half open and then crack the passenger front about an inch and the noise goes away. Experiment a bit, you...
On my BS, if it is not running or if I started it remotely, but have not hit the start button yet, I can freely move the wipers by hand up or down the windshield. Almost no resistance at all. Never had another car that did that. I have had others say this is not good for the wiper assy., but...
The plug is on the down side when up on ramps - so at least the pan is well drained.
My car is a 1.5 with the metal pan - not sure about the other models.
I use composite plastic ramps (which are light) - and just a socket wrench. The BS goes up my ramps without any drama. Once you do it a few times, the oil change is pretty quick (just all those damn belly pan screws). My 1.5 has a metal pan and metal drain plug - did not know they use a plastic...
My FordPass App stopped working this week (could not start my car for a few days) - there was an update on the Android Play store for the App, I installed it and now the App is working again. The FordPass App looks different (different Icon on my phone). Maybe the old App is not working anymore...
Maybe I can help give you a point of reference. I have a Big Bend 1.5 - for 2 years now. I have a 70 mile round trip commute (half of yours - been doing it 15 years) - plus have to drop off and pick up kids before and after. My commute (Cleveland Area) is around 2/3 highway and 1/3 downtown...
2022 - here check out this link for example:

I have an Area 51 - and like the color, but there are now 4 other Bronco Sports in my parking lot at work and they are all Area 51. So maybe it is time to offer some new colors.
I keep walking up to the wrong car...
My owners manual does not have a page that looks like that one - it does not mention changing a timing belt anywhere. From my research, the 1.5 Dragon in the Bronco Sport has a timing chain. There are other versions of the 3 cylinder that have belts, but not the one in the Bronco Sport.
My...
I have not rode any of the newer Triumphs yet (since they re-organized) - maybe will buy one when my kids are out of the house. I am guessing they don't leak as much oil as the old ones...;)
