Hi all, this Terry and I live in Colorado. Put the order in for my 2022 Bronze Smoke Outer Banks back on Feb 25 2022. Totaled my wife’s car back in Oct of last year so it’s time to get a second car and let her have my 2011 Pilot. The picture in my profile I borrowed from another user til mine comes in.

Hi everyone,

I have been visiting the forum from time to time. I got many valuable information, thank to all members. And finally decided to signed up since we just purchased a '22 BS Base model, and already drove 1,000+ miles. Even did its first oil change. It is our first Ford and going to be my wife's primary commute vehicle.

Have been lurking for a few weeks reading up on quite a few topics so wanted to post my first post here in the intro. I'm a long time Ford fan having owned several over the years since 1991 but am also a "car guy" in general, and have done my fair share of hands on tinkering on my vehicles of various makes and models. I've also been a Subaru fan more recently but was really intrigued by the new Bronco Sport once I got the chance to do my online homework and see one in person. With my prior vehicle having been a 2014 Subaru Forester XT, I was looking for something similar, but at the same time something different, especially since Subaru foolishly stopped selling the Forester with the turbo engine after 2018.

Once I got the chance to test drive a Badlands when driving by a dealer out of sheer luck, it immediately jumped to the top of my interest list. I was also considering a Subaru Outback Wilderness (a Forester Wilderness with a turbo engine would have made the decision a bit tougher but Subaru didn't listen) but as circumstances and details would have it, the Bronco Sport won out for a variety of reasons including the uniqueness and styling of the Bronco Sport inside and out, as well as the driving experience and features. While the base 1.5L turbo seems to be a good engine too, I was definitely glad to have the option of the Badlands model with the 2.0L turbo and drivetrain enhancements given my prior vehicle and was the top selling point that sealed the deal for me along with the fact that I wasn't forced to get a moonroof that I didn't want as part of an options package with other things that I did. Great decisions all the way around Ford! As can be seen in my sig, I placed my order on April 9th which yielded an acceptance confirmation that same Saturday morning I left my $500 deposit with a minor order update the dealer did for me on Monday the 11th so I could add the 360+.

Looking forward to spending more time here with my fellow enthusiasts and interacting and sharing more as well!

I have been watching bsforum for awhile. Ordered 22 BS OB in cyber orange. Really wanted a BigBend in Velocity blue. But this is the wife’s car , replacing her 02 Liberty. Bronco Sport came closest in the size and shape that she has been used to for the last 18 years. One of our boys talked her into the OB and the cyber orange.Ordered on 3/26, confirmed on 3/28, Received VIN and July 4 production date on 4/21. Rescheduled to 6/27 on 4/26, rescheduled back to the week on 7/4 on 5/6. Getting it with a block heater,360+,towing. We have a 2016 Flex that we use for road trips and the Liberty was a daily driver. Also have a 96 F150 that I got out of El Paso where it spent it’s first 19 years. We’ve had it for 7 years now and never driven in the snow or salt brine here in Iowa ,so it is still rust free but the paint is faded form the Texas summers. Worried that the Bronco Sport was going to be a squeeze for me (6’5”,270) just the opposite and tried out the back seat too. Plenty of room. Looking forward to it being parked in the garage. Pardon my rambling. Pat&Nora

Welcome Pat. Yes, that liquid metal remover they paint on the roads up hear are hard on any parts with Iron in them. On a positive note, your dash won’t melt and crack like they do down south.

Good News, Everyone!

I picked up my BS Badlands in Smoke Bronze over the weekend. The odo had 5 miles, never seen even a new car with that few miles. Went on a few short trips over the weekend, 100-150 miles each and am duly impressed with the Bronco Sport. It has all the tech I need, and seems to do great in gravel and muddy conditions.

I appreciate all the previous threads and conversations. I have learned a ton already. Hope I can contribute here and there as my knowledge grows.

Thanks to all!

It seems to take forever. Try to be patient. It will take as much time as it takes. Remember -
