I'm in the middle of signing the paperwork and I'm going tomorrow to finish but they are trying to up sell me on an eletronic warranty for $90 more a month. (I'm on a budget as is)

Do the electronics really go out often enough to really make it worth it?

I want bigger tyres on my 2023 BS heritage, wich has 17” wheels, any recomendations?

Never ceases to amaze me how capable this little guy is.

Who makes the most robust overlander style basket roof rack that is a direct bolt on to the oem roof rail system? We have a dog and want to leave him roof inside and room for yeti cooler. We would like to put luggage up top.

Thanks bros

I’m using a dashcam that’s plugged into the cigarette lighter. Will it drain the battery if I leave it plugged in overnight when the car is off?

For people who have dash cams, where do ya’ll place it? Does the placement on the front windshield affect that front facing camera behind the rear view mirror for lane assist?

Hi guys this is my first time going for an oil change. I’ve heard some people say bring it in at different amounts of miles. Currently I’m at 3,890 miles. Oil life says 65%. Was wonder what the recommended time for these little 3cylinders to get its oil done. I would be okay taking it every 3,000 miles doesn’t matter to me I want to invest in maintaining this little engine for the long run. Thanks!

Last weekend I took in my 21 Badlands for the module re-programming recall to prevent the auto start feature from working while the battery is low. And this morning my car died at a stop light because the battery didn’t have enough power to restart the engine and all the electronics started freaking out, so it seems that the recall didn’t do anything that it was intended to prevent. I didn’t have any low battery warnings or anything but when they tested the battery it was indeed low. Seems like these newer batteries are tricky when it comes to accurately measuring their health. If you’ve had you BS for more than 3 years definitely keep an eye on how the start/stop is acting and test your battery whenever you can!

I'm 6'4" and wanted to know how the rear legroom would be for a taller person. On occasion I take people fishing with me and one of my friends is 6'7". If he has to sit in the back, would he fit even behind my driving position?

I use to love giving the jeep peace sign years ago with my old XJ, so when I got my BS I felt nostalgic and came up with this when passing a fellow Bronco. The thumb is the legs, index is the head and pinkie the tail. I know literally gets it but it’s still fun!

Let me know if I should stop or otherwise spread the love.

Wonder if it’s totaled

Kia has announced their new global platform truck that reminds me of an offspring between the new Toyota 4Runner and Jeep Gladiator. No word on whether we’ll get it in the states, if so it will probably get the dreaded pickup tax that prevents foreign competitors to US-based trucks. In my mind it would compete with the Bronco Sport, Maverick, as well as the Ranger and Explorer.

It’s good to see manufacturers prioritizing utility and flexibility for balancing daily driving, softroading, and cargo capacity. Some really neat features inside and I think it will be a big hit, but not sure I could stomach the styling. It definitely has some of the same plasticky outdoorsy-hinting styling elements that influenced the 2025 Bronco Sport and recent Subaru Wilderness-edition vehicles, if you like that. It looks like a Tonka truck toy or maybe a Transformer to my eyes. I’m curious what people on this forum think!

I have a 24 OB carbonized grey almost a month old and have seen some there BS with different lettering colors on the tail gate wondering what color would look good with the gray ( was thinking maybe red) and also how easy or hard it is to get the old lets off and new ones on?

Thanks

I just bought a 2024 heritage yesterday. Pick it up next week. The dealership told me they did not put remote start on the key fobs for the heritage but I may be able to start it from the ford pass app. He said he wasn’t 100% sure if the heritage models even have remote start. This is not a deal breaker for me because I bought the vehicle. But it would be a nice feature. Just wanted to see if anyone else that has a 2024 heritage can chime in and let me know what is correct in regards to starting the car from app or key fob.

I just bought my bronco sport 2 weeks ago with like 7 miles on it and I was wondering if anyone else has the issue when I press on the gas sometimes it feels like it doesn’t want to accelerate or just lags, just wondering if anyone else had this issue and if I need to bring it into the dealership if it’s a bigger issue! Love the car just a little concerned. Also note I’m not car savvy so.. lol

Have a 21 big bend that was used. Ever since we got some of the extras either don’t work at all or only work intermittently. In particular the engine stop gas saver, the auto dimmer, and the radio are all wacky. I had them check out the engine stop and they told me that only works when the vehicle thinks the battery is good enough- most of the time it doesn’t work at all even though it’s always on- they told me to just turn it off!! WTF??? I paid for this feature and they want me to turn it off??? The headlight auto dimmer has only worked a couple times and the radio turns itself on every time we push the start button!! Anyone have any solutions for me that I can go back to the dealer with?? It’s still under warranty I think and they just don’t want to deal with these issues!!

Brief, but long enough to capture some good shots of Beefy. Gonna go get those new ATs soon.

LOOK. I love my bronco sport badlands, I specially ordered it to my exact wants; Waited 7 months to get my order back in 2023.

It is an incredibly capable vehicle! My only complaint is how CHEAP it is made. Everywhere I drive if the radio is off (even when it is on) I hear the plastic creeking in the cab. My dash i sometimes have to apply pressure just to get the noise to stop, there's now a new rattling noise with the plastic panels in the back that is driving me nuts.

I have not experienced many issues with this car, but holy crap! This is making me go bonkers. Please tell me I'm not the only one 🙄

I wanted to share to help others with cost estimates since broken windshields seem common with this car.

Windshield was hit with a rock (more like a small boulder that bounced out of a pickup truck on the highway) and cracked windshield and needed full replacement (I haven’t even had it a year).

2021 bronco sport big bend replaced with OEM glass and recalibrated (for dynamic cruse control and auto brights etc.)

Paid my local auto glass shop (not a chain) $1135

Edit to add location: Columbus metro area Ohio.

We were lucky to be one of the first to order a Sport FE on launch day and it arrived in January 2021. We love the vehicle but I always wanted a 2 door. We are now considering trading for a two-door Heritage, 2.7. Unfortunately we don’t have room in the stable for 2 Broncos. Am I crazy for letting go of a FE? Change my mind!

Do yall feel that this is a really good price? I’ve got them down to 43,000k and five free oil changes.

This is the badlands 2024 sport with the cactus gray, two tone leather interior, and sunroof.

Thanks for the help!

Bought a 2023 BS Heritage in the same color back in December 2023. It was stolen from me in April of this year and totaled from police rear ending it to capture thieves. Finally was able to replace a few weeks ago with a 2024. Just feeling happy about it.

I just got my ‘22 OB used with ~30k miles about a month ago, and I’ve been having an issue where after a cold start in the morning, the engine makes a loud knocking noise only when the car is idling in drive. I can also feel a strong vibration in the car when the knocking is happening, different from the normal idle vibration any car has. As soon as I start to roll forward, even without hitting the gas, the noise goes away. Also, after about 15 minutes of driving the noise goes away. Is this just a symptom of a cold start on the unbalanced 3 cylinder engine or should I be concerned?

Interested in this setup, my local outfitter won't install this combo due to liability concerns because of the dynamic load rating of the BS is 150lbs, and the RTT is 125lbs.

The shop maintains that this Roofrack does not increase the dynamic rating to its advertised 200lbs because it sits on top of the factory rails, and does not provide additional anchoring or support like the full-sized Bronco's TRMR system. The Trailrax product page has language to cover their liability as much.

Wondering if anyone's actually running the setup for any extended time, and their experience.
