  1. Rear Defroster Problem?

    Hi everyone. Can anyone tell me if this discoloration is normal? I noticed it this morning. Thanks!
  2. Exhaust Noise?

    I have caught my Badlands making this noise twice in the past week. I did hear it make this noise several months ago but ignored it because it went away and didn’t appear to be an issue. Basically, I stopped looking for it Most of the time it sounds completely normal but will make this noise...
  3. Normal vs Slippery Mode

    I posted a thread some time ago about my experience with Bridgestone Blizzak DMV2 winter tires on my Badlands compared to my 2019 Escape Titanium AWD (2.0 Ecoboost). The Escape was excellent with the Blizzak DMV2s. They inspired confidence in all situations. My experience with the Badlands...
  4. Winter Tire Issue?

    My Badlands has a new (around two months old) set of Bridgestone Blizzak DMV2 winter tires on it. I live in Wisconsin so we’ve had plenty of opportunity to drive on snow and ice. My previous vehicle, a 2019 Escape Titanium AWD, had the same type of winter tire (a different size) fitted for...
  5. Loud, violent bang from rear

    My Bronco Sport Badlands has around 1,000 miles on it. On four occasions (so far) I have experienced a loud, violent bang noise that seems to come from the rear of the vehicle on the driver’s side. It sounds and feels similar to hitting a very large pothole. It has happened when turning every...
  6. Help Me Choose Winter Rims

    My Badlands is Area 51 with the Carbonized Gray roof. I’ve been searching the Tire Rack and Discount Tire websites for a winter wheel and tire package that will compliment the look of my BS. I will be getting Bridgestone Blizzak DMV2s as I know from experience they’re really good. I want OEM...
  7. Safely Removing Bugs

    For the past six years I’ve been removing bugs by spraying the impacted areas with Turtle Wax Bug & Tar Remover, letting it sit for a minute and then gently removing the residue with a microfiber cloth before rinsing it off. I was initially worried about the impact it might have on the paint...
  8. Rust Resistance / Body Panel Material ?

    According to what I’ve read the hood, fenders and doors are made from aluminum. I’m not sure about the liftgate. Composite? Does this mean the body should be more resistant to rust?
  9. Winter Tire & Wheel Recommendations

    My Badlands with the standard 225/65R17 tires is currently in production. I intend to buy a set of winter tires with dedicated rims. I’ve put Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2s on my 2019 Escape Titanium’s 19” OEM rims the past three winters and they were excellent. However, having to mount and...
  10. How well made is your Bronco Sport?

    How would you rate the fit and finish of your Bronco Sport? Other than the deleted/missing items, do you feel Ford did a good job assembling it? For people who own or have owned other Fords in the past, do you think Ford’s quality has improved?
  11. Same suspension on all models?

    I could be wrong but it looks like all models get the same suspension system according to Ford’s website. I thought Badlands got some unique components?
  12. Avoiding New Tire Rim Damage

    I’m going to put winter tires (Blizzaks) on my Badlands when the time comes. I want to avoid damaging the OEM rims. Can I trust any of the national tire chains to not damage the rims? Some of the videos on YT don’t inspire confidence. Perhaps it’s best to let my Ford dealer do it? Or is it...
  13. Dealer lets people test drive your new Bronco Sport…

    Now that we’ve placed an order for a BS Badlands, I was wondering: How would you guys feel if your dealer allowed other people to test drive your Bronco Sport, something you customized, ordered and waited months for, before you picked it up?
  14. Escape to Badlands

    Hello everyone. The lease on our 2019 Escape Titanium 2.0 AWD is approaching its end. We will need to extend the lease until we’re able to get our hands on a replacement. We recently had a discussion with our dealer who explained just how bad the situation regarding stock, incentives and...
