Ford F250 Tremor; Bronco Sport Outer Banks
I bought my 22 OB 3 years ago and generally speaking we liked driving it. However I have experienced to many of the issues that so many others have on here, The last straw was a cracked Catylitic converter spewing exhaust into the cabin through the HVAC (And it is a pavement queen). Diff issues, brake issues, leaking axles, leaking Trans, and finally every mechanic I follow on You-Tube says NEVER buy a Ford Eco-boost 4 cyl powered car. Not New, Not pristine, not low mileage, NEVER!

I am out,,,, you guys have fun. Bought my a Full Size with a V-6.

I don't blame you. The 2.0L would have been a better choice with a lot, if any, issues.

Don't blame you with the Bronco Sport's history of issues and recalls. We generally keep cars a long time. My F150 is 9 years old, and Mrs. T's Cherokee is 12 years old this year, but I don't think we'll have the Bronco that long.

I am leaning this way too. My MINI is 13 yrs old@ 125k, we traded in my wife‘s 2015 Edge @ 9 yrs and 175k ( NO issues). Her 2024 BS BL has 24k and is waiting for a new transmission.

Pshewww… good thing all the mechanics say to never buy a 4cyl, and you got a 3cyl… you dodged a bullet on that one!

Enjoy the new ride.

We all make decisions based on our own experiences.

Hope the trade works out for you.

We'll see how my CPO 2025 Badlands works out.

May go another route in a few years.
