Say Hello and Introduce Yourself! ?

[Ilemek CZ]

It will take me a little time to locate more pictures. I have to read through my father’s letters where he sometimes describes the area in the pictures. If you are ever at the brewery, say hello to Chris the owner for me.

Ok, I'll occasionally stop by the brewery with my Bronco and say hello.
I look forward to hearing from you again.
Have a nice day to the USA from the Czech Republic. George

Hi Jiri, thanks. I’ll let you know what I find from Pilsen.

New member from Denver. Traded in a 2015 BMW X1 with 110k on the odo for a new 2024 BS Big Bend in Cactus Grey. Loving it so far. Plenty of pep around town and it handled a Labor Day trip to the mountains nicely.

I just got back from a trip to Lake Mead to visit with friends. There are a lot of ups and downs between here and Lake Mead, and the Bronco did better than expected.
When going up the long grades I didn't try to maintain the 75 that I did in the flats and downhills, but had no problem staying at 65 and not having the Bronco downshift. Tach was at slightly over 2000 RPM.
Only if I pushed on the accelerator a bit more and tried to do 70 up the hills did it downshift, then the Tach read 2300 or so.

There was a guy in a newer Tacoma that must have had his cruise set close to what mine was.
He was slowly gaining on me in the flats, but as soon as we'd climb a grade he'd slip behind.
This happens over and over for many miles between Kingman and Flagstaff.
He probably had no idea that the Bronco Sport he couldn't catch only had a 3 cylinder engine.

I did some dirt too, and the Falken tires have some good grip.
They make a bit of noise at 20-30 MPH with the windows down, but doing 75 with the windows up they don't seem overly loud.

I used Eco mode for most of the trip. My mileage going out was 30.5, coming back was 29.5, but I went over 75 a bit more on the return trip.

Looking for power spec on the USB-C ports in the accessory tray, Wondering if they are on all the time or only when the ignition is on?

In my 2022 Badlands, it is only on when the ignition is on. Do you have a phone or other USB powered device you can test it with?

Hello.

If all goes as planned, I’ll have a 2025 Big Bend with the Black Diamond package on Saturday. Picture will follow. If things don’t go as planned, I’ll keep reading about yours.

Hello all,

I'm a new bronco sport badlands 2022 owner
Have just had it a couple of weeks, still learning about all it's different functions
Must say it's nothing like a 2015 jeep
I'm loving it, especially the colour
Alto blue metallic
It can appear a dark blue or black, depending on the light available
Read they discontinued the colour, that's a shame
Thank you for welcoming me to the group

So everything went as planned. Now to spend more money.

I love the push bar you have on the front, did yours come like that? Want that for mine!!

Yes. Part of the Black Diamond package.

Hi from Seattle. Took delivery mid January, now over 1k miles

At first I didn't really like the badlands rims, but they sure have grown on me

That's the OEM bar that comes with the Black Diamond and Sasquatch packages.

I don't know if you're using the term generically or literally, but to be on the safe side, that's not a push bar. If one tries to use it for that purpose, they'll have a bad (and expensive) time. Ford calls it a Brush Guard, others generically a bull bar. Honestly, it's about 80% decorative, 20% functional.

I'm not trying to be pedantic, but I just don't want folks to get themselves into trouble using a term in a way that implies a capability that it most definitely doesn't possess.

If you want a push bar, you're looking for something like this:

Hi everyone, great to be in this group now. I am buying my son's 2023 Bronco Sport Outer Banks, White with 34,700 miles. Any idea on what lies ahead for us would be great. I am contemplating getting the Xtended Warranty before it hits 36k.
I will be driving it from North Dakota to Louisiana in a few weeks. Figure I will have plenty of time to get familiar with it over the 24 hr drive.

We also have a 2019 Ranger Crew Cab Lariat. Now the Bronco joins the club.

If you plan on buying an extended Ford ESP warranty, I’d recommend getting it from Granger at 25.00 over their cost.
