I bought my OB 22 days ago and still don't have mine. Sales manager says it can take up to 30 days.
I did not get any point for purchasing a 2022 BB from a Ford Dealership. I thought only on new vehicles.

As I posted a couple of weeks ago, I traded my 2021 BL in for a Gold Certified 2025 BL with 5.8k miles.

Here are my observations comparing the 2021 vs the 2025.

The ride quality is improved.

It seems that the interior noise is quieter, though this may because of the Continental tires vs the Wildpeaks on the 2021.

It looks to me that the rear of the 2025 sits up a little higher than the 2021.

The new 2.0L MPC engine has a higher cold idle.

The 12.3 inch screen is an improvement, but the HVAC controls will take some time to get used to.

On the 2021 Sync 3, I remember when Apple car play was active, if you hit the squares at the bottom left of the screen there was a Sync icon to return to Sync 3, I don't have that icon on Sync 4. From what I gather I have to hit the home button to return to Sync 4 from Apple car play. Is this correct?

The 360 degree camera is great.

Having memory seats is a plus.

Still not crazy about the black wheels.

Still waiting for my 22,000 Ford pass points. If you got these from purchasing a vehicle, how long did it take to get them?

Happy with the deal I got on the BL.

NO RECALLS, YET!

I drove a 2022 BS/BL, then got a 2025 and overall I'd say it's a nice improvement! I like the bigger display and it drives better with less acceleration lag. I'm keeping this one until the warranty expires!

It's even more responsive in Sport mode.

I got 31,000 points 1 month to the DAY I bought my 2025 BSBL Sas new.
My MPGs are around 22.5-23, mostly highway driving 12-15 miles & 2 stop lights between my house and my biz (I am guessing this is Sasquatch versus the higher MPGs for non Sasquatch?).
I am so glad you are updating us on the differences! It is great to hear that improvements have been made over the years.
Keep us posted! 🙌🏻

Is Yours a 2025? If so that's about what My 2025 XLT AWD Maverick is getting with the 2.0 EB I'm at 21.5 mpg on this tank of gas.. Although My drive is 8 miles 50 mph tops with 6 stop signs and one stop light that I can turn on red if no one is in front of Me or no traffic is coming in My direction.

Yes, 2025, bought just over 1 month ago. I am in Nor Cal, highway speeds of 65-73 depending on traffic the whole way. 1 mile rural road (35-45 mph), less than a mile in town.

If you're replying to my post, my points were in my account yesterday. Took a little over 2 weeks.

Nice. I'm getting just over 21 mpg in true city driving... heavy traffic, many stop lights, short, quick trips with multiple stops.
Ditto on that mileage for me. Stop and go street driving in eco mode. Averaging 24.7 - 24.9. For me it's almost been a year with my 2024 BB. Love it! Hot pepper red.

Still rocking my 22 BL…. With gnarly KO2s since tearing up original stock Perrillis at 22K…. But since I do take this little booger off roads often, the drop in MPGs and excessive road noise is acceptable.

my sync 3 and overall electrical system seems to work much better since last recall on that whole AGM battery debacle… not sure if related but use tohave to shut my vehicle down several times before all the lights actually turned off.

overall very ha[py with my BL, used as a daily driver and weekend mobile. Sure my avg city mileage could be better but at 22mpg vs your typical Jeepwith 35s at 16mpg I’m good, lol

I’m surprised your mileage goes down off road. I get my best gas mileage off road. Same with the full size on 35’s. I can get lower 20’s off road with that. On road at highway speeds, not so much. Bricks don’t make good fuel efficient vehicles.

I don't know how you can get better mileage driving off road unless it's in an open area at a decent clip or going down hill the the whole time.
When I'm off roading my Badlands on trails it would be quite the feat to even do 20 mph, most of the time I am creeping along and if looking at the instant mpg when I hit the gas the mileage drops to 0 mpg and when I let off it may bounce up to 10 mpg and the cycle will continue as I traverse the area that I'm in.
My fuel mileage will not get back into a descent range until back on the road or better yet the highway.

Not sure. this has been the case with both the 2 door and the Sport. I’m getting mid 20’s with the Sport off road. Now, most of it is either crawling or reasonably slow. No Baja mode. If I’m on the highway with no bikes on the back I can get mid to high 20’s. With the bikes, it’s about what I get in town.
