  1. Utah Trail Suggestions

    I'll be heading to Utah's "Mighty Five" in mid-October. Does anyone have any suggestions for EASY 4WD (solo stock 4WD vehicle) access to hiking trails that are easy or moderate and fairly short? I'd like to see if using 4WD access can get us to less-congested locations?
  2. New Owner - Tips and Advice Appreciated!

    So, since your new to your BS, I'd say take a few minutes and run through the videos Ford has posted. This is a link to 2022 info Livestream 2022 ford Bronco Sport , but there are fresher vids for 23's and 24's. I'd also say take a look at the owner's manual--but we all know that's usually the...
  3. New tires

    I have just installed the BFG Trail-Terrains in 235 65 R 17 on BSBL. They replaced my Pirelli Scorpion AT 225 65 R 17's. I haven't had them off road yet, but we've finally had some significant snowfall. In the snow they have proven to be a vast improvement over the OEM Perelli's. Predictable...
  4. New Sasquatch bumper update

    To replace an existing front bumper alone is between $900.00 and $1600.00. I don't think I'd bother with the rear--but IF it's possible the front is tempting, and say costs comparable along the order of 2K or less. Ron
  5. New Sasquatch bumper update

    Has anyone taken a moment to see if the updated front end from the '25 Sasquatch is backward compatible to BSBL's? It's clearly an attempt to improve the original lower front bumper which I think more than a few of us have discovered is vulnerable even when not doing something foolish.
  6. Overhead Driver's Door Entry Assist Handle

    It’s my understanding that First Edition’s had a grab placed where you’re describing. I too have wished one had been included either there or on the A pillar. It’s worth noting that our Subaru Forester has one, and it’s handy to have especially when hopping out in mud or uneven terrain.
  7. What would be the recommended skid plate upgrades for BS BL?

    I find myself getting offroad more often and I'm starting to feel that my BSBL needs some additional or improved armor for its sensitive bits-- what are the consensus "must dos"?
  8. BB recovery point

    I think this might be a good place to ask this question. We all should know our maximum weight for towing. What's the maximum weight (force) allowed on the OEM Class II hitch for recovery? (with a shackle hitch in place)
  9. List the deleted items from the '21 to '23

    So at a Bronco Nation meet-up we were chatting about features we'd like to see on BS-BL's. I was complaining about the lack of a driver position grip for entry/exit. Turns out that it WAS on the BS 1st Edition, but swiftly deleted. I'd like to point out to the cost-cutters at Ford that it's...
  10. Copilot 360+ Question

    After more than a year of ownership, I decided to use the intelligent/adaptive cruise control system in morning traffic in Chicago. I 290 inbound to downtown from the 'burbs. It's a total gamechanger. I set the initial speed with traffic flow and then ratcheted up. Braking was a little...
  11. Rear Hatch Trim Plate

    UPDATE: I had body fasteners on hand (purchased in a kit for a different reason) found the right size, replaced failed fasteners and have had no problems since.
  12. Rear Hatch Trim Plate

    There is a small black trim plate between the rear hatch and roof. I assume it's there to help keep water out of the electronics in the hatch. The problem is that EVERY time I run the BSBL through a car wash the plate comes loose. Has anyone else experienced this? Dealer reseated it at the 10K...
  13. Tire rotation and pressure sensors

    The TPMS display constantly shows the tire that is currently in rear left position to be about 3 psi lower that the other 3 tires--despite being filled from the same compressor/regulator set to the same psi. I'm guessing that means it's base level calibration is "off" vs the other three sensors...
  14. Chicagoland BS people?

    Heading to Silver Lake in Mears, Michigan as soon as the schedule permits. Any other suggestions in and around Chicago?
  15. Offroading, Overlanding, Wheelin', and More... Share Your Stories

    So I took a moment to prep for the season. I'll need these for Silver Lake dunes in Mears, Michigan. Anyone have other more or less local suggestions to keep my BS BL from spending 100% of the time on pavement?
  16. Bronco Sport gas mileage

    Just adding my "two cents". I've got a BS BL (2.0L) with just over 4K on it. My driving is a mix of urban/suburban in the Chicago area. The best average mileage I've been able to squeak out is right about 25mpg using premium gas with mostly "normal" mode, and one or two passengers. I do use...
  17. Radio turning on spontaneously

    That's great! I know this forum has got to be a two-edged sword for FoMoCo, but owners exchanging information has a very high value for me. Ron
