North Ridgeville, got my Badlands about a month ago, only BL we could find in the area cause of the chip shortage or what not. Traded in my 17 mustang with a V8, still don't miss it cause of everything I get from driving that Bronco (mine's on the right)

Englewood Ohio here (north of Dayton)
2 months with my Area 51 affair and even more in love lol.
Been a great ride. Loving the apple car play, I’ve never had a car with it and it’s super convenient. Use apple maps and no need ever for navigation in a car with apple car play (or android equivalent)
The BSport handles very well, absorbs the bumps on the road better then my Edge sport, and it has more headroom. That allows me 6’1 to sit straighter then the Edge. Sport mode was a pleasant surprise, Ford really makes it happen in that mode and I have no doubt the other modes are just as legit.
360 degree visibility in the Sport is very good, and loving the front facing camera at low speeds. I use it in some parking situations.
Interior is great and I really have no complaints, I love the modern simplicity of the driver dash controls. The Edge had too many buttons.
Anyway, what up Ohio Bronco busters. We ride in style.

Checking in from Steubenville. I’ve had my Bronco Sport for over a month now. I love it! It rides great, fantastic gas mileage, and looks amazing too.

I traded a 2015 Mustang Gt Premium for the Sport. I placed an order for the full size Bronco but I’m not sure I’ll buy it once it comes in. I like the Sport too much!

Ohio folks - if you ordered - how long did transport take to your dealer?

Latest Update:

02-08-2021: Ordered Area 51, Ebony/Brown, OB+OB, 360+, Tow Pkg.
08-23-2021: Status changed from In Production to Built.

ETA for arrival is between 09-27 and 10-03-2021.

09-03-2021: Arrived at the Gateway Interchange Yard, Illinois @ 0221.
09-05-2021: Switched from UP to ALS. ETA to Lordstown, OH is 09-08-2021.

The Alton & Southern Railway reports as ALS. From their website, it looks like they are owned by UP, and they Primarily operate the switching duties of the Gateway Yard, and do some local hauling.

I never recall seeing them run all the way to N.E. Ohio. Has anyone tracked your BS that included ALS? I assumed the next railway would have been CTX.

Thanks for any insight!

2021 Bronco Sport Outer Banks - Area 51
Let's start some dialogue, I'll start things off.

Hi, I'm Bob and I live in Cincinnati, and I'm in the market for a new car early next year. The Bronco Sport is currently top of my list, right beside a 2020 Subaru Outback Onyx XT, or maybe a Tacoma TRD Off-Road or Colorado Z71. I normally commute quite a bit, usually about 90 miles a day, but I'm itching for a vehicle with some utility. My wife and our two kids (3yrs and 8 months) are planning to do some road tripping in the coming years, which will likely involve towing a small pop-up camper, so some towing capability is pretty important.

Anyhow, just wanted to start a conversation and see who's out there.
Hi Bob and other Great Lakes Bronco Sport forum members, I am Carol. I lucked in to getting the 1st Bronco Sport officially off the lot in the entire Toledo, Ohio area. So far I love it. I cannot wait to get a kayak rack on it so I can really start using it for what it is intended.

2021 Rapid Red Bronco Sport OB
Just east of C-bus. I was actually considering getting a Jeep Cherokee to replace my 2018 Escape Titanium. It's been a good car, it just doesn't meet my needs (sometimes I wish I still had my 2001 Sport Trac). I was at my dealer getting an oil change and walked over to the showroom. As soon as a saw the BS on the showroom floor, I knew I didn't want a Jeep anymore.
I did get my Rapid Red OBX May 16 2021..

30 miles due east of Cleveland, kids grow fast and the leg room in the bronco sport is very limited, you may want to consider this if you plan to keep the vehicle for any length of time
