2022 Bronco Sport Badlands, Area 51, loaded.
I know we are all frustrated with part shortages, build delays, and/or slow deliveries. But, let's take a deep breath....

Why did you order a Bronco Sport? We must all have POSITIVE reasons for doing so. Let's share them.

For me, I remember the original Bronco from my childhood. While I don't go off-roading, I really thought it would cool to be part of the Bronco rebirth and the Sport version fit my needs.
The Bronco Sport reminds in a vague of my favorite vehicle from my childhood, the Land Rover Defender. I bought a 2022 Badlands and absolutely love it!

Had a 2010 Mariner that was fun to drive- really liked the boxy style, being able to open the hatch window separately, great sight lines (super easy to parallel park), had it for 7 years. Traded it for a 2017 Escape. I no longer enjoyed driving.

My BF found pictures of the Baby Bronco online when they were “leaked” and I said if they look like that, I’m getting one!

I read LOTS of reviews of the Baby Bronco: looks a little like the Land Rover...Cool! Boxy like my Mariner...YES! Back window opens again..YES! BROWN leather interior...YES YES YES! SUPER CUTE...YES! Area 51 color...YES! There’s SO much to like, and I enjoy driving again!

it took me a year to finally get my BS BL and totally worth the wait.

No disrespect intended, brother. It struck me as funny as I was trying to decode your post when you said there was "a lot of how does this work." It was my way of saying "me too."

I love my Big Bend and feel incredibly fortunate I found it on a lot at MSRP. However, I was lead to believe it had more off-road capability than it does. I want the heavier suspension, the 2.0L engine, and the true locking rear diff. Plus, I was missing the towing package which I genuinely need and the beautiful brown leather seats that I saw on the commercial and had to have. The wait is worth it since I'll be getting exactly what I want.

2022 bronco sport
Sounds like I'm in the same boat as some people I have a bronco on order base model manual Sasquatch well at first it was a non-sasquatch because they didn't offer that when I ordered but now that they do I have to change it so I have to wait even longer I'm not expecting it for 5 years and I got sick of waiting and I had a 2014 Ford escape titanium all-wheel drive that I love to death I got it because I went back to college and I was going to NAU in Flagstaff and it would help with the snow and everything and it did I put falcon at trails on it and they work great and didn't even feel like all terrain tires but I now have a 22 Badlands that is basically what I was turning my escape into anyways cuz I'd already put it a 1-in lift on it and slightly bigger all-terrain tires and this is just it even better I am kind of mad though because I looked at the new Ford escapes and they have an extra foot of leg room in the backseat but the bronco sports don't and I assume that's because they want a shorter wheelbase for off-roading but I still think that's crap and we should have gotten the bigger back seats as well

I was looking for an off road capable vehicle that could get me to remote areas of SW USA, not major off roading. I read reviews and test drove a couple of jeeps. Then I saw review of new Bronco. Checked it out but did not like visibility or big size. Saw Sport, Big Bend, and tried it out. Liked but wanted more ability. Ordered BS BL (Velocity Blue)on 15 Feb 2022. Built June 16, shipped & schelduled to arrive end of July 2022 .

To be honest, I ordered one to extend the lease on our 2020 Ford Escape Titanium. I got over 31k for trade in for the Escape and couldn't pass the money I made on the Escape. When our BS Badlands came in we fell in love with her. We weren't even going to get it. I kept on reading the reviews of the Badlands and that cinched it. Love our Badlands.

That’s what I like about the Badlands as well. It’ll take you anywhere you want to go. Short of going at something intentionally difficult like a boulder field it does everything else.

When they said 'a lot of how does this work' that was not intended to be grammatically correct. Sort of slang for 'need to learn about how a lot of the features work' type of statement....

You should get yours soon that's almost my exact order was a badlands only option was the falken tires and the premium package same color and I ordered mine in February but the dealer messed some stuff up so I don't think it went out till like the first of March and I just got mine July 15th so you should be getting here soon I would assume
