My car is three years old and is just about to turn 40K and heres kinda what I think about it.
Before I get into that...I live in Denver and I have one car. I use it to go fishing at high alpine lakes and streams in and around the Front Range. I car camp with it. It was the preferred dog car for my families newfies when I lived in San Diego during the pandemic. The car has seen a lot of high altitude miles. When I do go fish which is about once or twice a week I'm easily getting up around 8,000ft on some of the hills
I'm getting about 24.6mpg, little less when its cold out. I swapped out the ATRs from some Wildpeak AT4Ws as the ATRs were horrible on snow and ice. If you live in a cold climate those need to be swapped out pretty quickly. Other then that no modifications or anything like that.
The Good: The engine is strong. Even when going up high altitude forest roads...I went up to King Lake once and that parking lot is like 10,000ft I think. I also took it to the top of Mt. Evans which is 14,000ft and no problems...the car pulls. Fully loaded with me my twin brother and the newfies going up to Montana from San Diego at freeway speeds the car still accelerated comfortably, no issues. The AWD/4WD system is best in the class in my mind and for me its a good size. Currently I live in an apartment in Denver not too far away from Coors and the size is just right.
The Bad: I'm still annoyed the car didn't come with tilting seats. I got the premium package and I don't understand why Ford didn't include those. I have long legs, they go numb when I'm driving the car. The car needs more clearance. Its very capable, more then most would think, but the clearance holds it back. Maybe thats part of Fords strategy to get people into a big bronco Big Bend, its a similar price to the Badlands.
Issues: AC isn't as strong as it used to be and thats about it....
Overall: Its a good little car and I'm glad I got it. Out of all the different makes and models in this class of cars the BroncoSport is the right car for me. Its got a more rugged non-egg shaped look, the 2L is strong and the AWD system has come through for me time and again in the mountains.
