I have noticed the upgraded Bang & O stereo system sounds good..... but damn it is not loud at all......
I agree and it's not nearly as good (or as loud) as the Harman-Kardon system that was in my 5yo Mercedes.

Buy a Badlands...that's the entire point of trim levels. I will never understand the everyone gets a trophy mindset...life is full of choices. Adding all the key features to every trim you might as well say, here is THE Bronco Sport Badlands, MSRP $40K. includes everything, no options, no additional trim levels, and only comes in the most popular color Area 51.

I tried to order a Badlands but was too late! The point I was trying to make was the the way Ford bundles the options in the packages for the different trim levels forces the buyer to get options that may not be needed. I'd love to get a the 2.0L engine, but don't need the additional off road equipment on the Badlands. It's just like the cable companies forcing you to get 6 channels you will never watch to get HBO.

Yeah I get it...but I also see the point of their bundle to entice more than what you need, and you have it if you ever do. Not to mention, it offers manageable choices. Heck package or no package on four trim levels is a LOT of choice.

Surprised nobody mentioned this: Power lift gate. Heck, even hands free lift gate would be great. This seems like a big miss for a 2021 vehicle.

I agree on the power lift gate ... I'd also like a front camera like on the Badlands ... ventilated seats would've been a nice addition

The number one thing I'd change, however, is communications from Ford throughout the entire process ... be honest and be accurate ... ignoring or giving wild guesses only frustrates your customers. As I mentioned in my survey, after spending $10 on a pizza at Dominos, I'm told the name of the people who are putting it in the oven, what time it comes out of the oven, and I get a real-time map of the delivery to my house. A vehicle that costs roughly 4,000x as much as that deserves better than any of us are getting. We all understand supply chain issues and we understand that things sometimes don't work out as planned. That said, having an accurate and functioning tracking website should be extremely easy in 2022.

I know it's been discussed before, maybe not in this thread.

A couple of things, weight and cost. The weight of the power assembly would reduce payload capacity and put more weight up high affecting roof top load capacity.

The BS is already pricey in it's segment, another feature would add to that.

One other thing that may or may not be the case is interfering with lift up glass in the hatch.

I would like to see Ford bump the payload capacity. Mine is less than 866lbs. That's pretty easy to hit. 4 adults, luggage in the back and something on the roof could easily do it.
