"The 25 BL does come with a spare tire but Granger Ford told us the timeline would be 5+ months. I would have liked to had sync 4, rather than 3 but we didn't want to wait that long."

BTW, if the 25 BL could have come with any other roof color than black, we would have placed the order.

We both really like the white roof of the Heritage and don't understand the black roof at all.

F-150, Schwinn Beach Cruiser,
I have just begun my search for my Bronco Sport. I do not intend to do any off roading. I do want a 4x4. I will drive maybe 10,000 miles per year and much of that on surface streets or highway. Before I go into the dealer and start to get the sales pitch, Would you kind folks make suggestions on model and features I should consider. Thank you in advance. I look forward to joining you all as an owner in the next month or two.
Get a Badlands if you need to tow. I have a Badlands with tow package, trailer hitch, block heater and o added BFG Trail Terrain in a 235 size after 22k miles. I also bought the roof racks from Amazon. I gave BSM and adaptive cruise control stuff.

Since you mentioned it, our Badlands came with the roof racks, which I removed, that day. They've been stored inside ever since.

If someone was interested in a month old set of OEM racks, shoot me a DM and we'll talk about it.

The 1.5L on the Heritage we test drove, seemed pretty underpowered, so that sent us to the BL.

The 25 BL does come with a spare tire but Granger Ford told us the timeline would be 5+ months. I would have liked to had sync 4, rather than 3 but we didn't want to wait that long.
If I went for a new one, I too would be concerned about the 1.5L vs. 2.0L. I have a 2021 Badlands and it has been great in the snow/ice and plenty of pep, but no real need for the real off road things (e.g. Sand or Rock Crawl). I have tried locking the diff once in a bad snow storm just to try it out, but really haven't needed it. (I do have studded snows on it for the winter.)

I really wish the 2.0L was an upgrade option on the other trim levels.
