Our '22 Badlands just arrived at the dealership but it's going to be a few days until we can pick it up. I'm anxious to get it, but also wondering what will be there or missing compared to our '21 Badlands. ...at least I know it has an engine cover. Or it's supposed to have one.
this might be the single best post on this website.This just in….
Did you trade the '21 or you're adding another? If they're similarly optioned, it would be an interesting dive to find all the differences. Depending on what month your '21 was built, there will also be different power ports installed. I wonder if the sync screen and options will even be the same?
Adding another Bronco Sport to the family. Our '21 is a Badlands + Badlands (Premium) package, 360+ and tow in Alto Blue. Manufactured April '21, we picked it up first week of may. The '21 is a Badlands + Premium, 360+, tow and had to add the moonroof as a separate option this time around. Both also have the upgraded 235/65-17 Falken Wildpeak AT3W tires. So they're intended to be as identical as we could make them other than paint color.
What you are missing is this. When working on your engine in an area that doesn’t require the removal of the cover it gives you a place to set your beer or coffee. So obvious.
I got my 22 Badlands right before Christmas and it has no engine cover. I doubt yours will have one.
There you go, an aftermarket opportunity. Someone needs to make them with cupholders molded in. I'd be a taker since my '22 Badlands doesn't have one.
Very much like mine then, built 4/14/21. Even the pushbutton start was subsequently changed. No lights and a fatter font. Should be functionally equal though, yes.
So far the dirt-hiding ability of the Bronze Smoke color seems to be it's biggest advantage. We owned a Kodiak Brown Explorer a few years back and really liked the color. Love the Alto Blue, but it's a chore to keep it clean. I think what I like the least about pics/videos I've seen of the Bronze Smoke color is it's a bit lighter than I was envisioning, but it is a bronze/brown color. Not sure about the "smoke" part. I guess that's what happens when you order a color that at the time no one had seen just yet. Only reference we had to go off of was the CGI car in the build and price for the '22 Lincoln Aviator, which also comes in the color. Personally I think it matches the roast leather a bit too closely for my tastes, not that I don't like the roast leather, it just gives the whole vehicle a very monochromatic feel.
Hang in there Brother,
Well, maybe my Bronco’s will be the last vehicles I buy then. I have no plans on letting someone else drive for me. Especially a computer.
You carry a computer now that listens to every word you and everyone around you says AND tracks every move you make even when powered off.
You mean it’s not? ?
