A Comparison Between the 2025 Ford Bronco Sport or the 2024!! This Week on jmc6000, Let's Go!

[@tomd815]

I got a 24 because of the deal and because I like physical buttons and the Sync 3 layout better (used to Sync 2). I would agree the engine vibration is my biggest gripe, but it does go away driving it. Maybe someone will make engine mounts that fix it

off topic but the sound quality of this video is excellent

I saw what Ford changed on the 2025 Bronco Sport and opted for a 2024 Bronco Sport Big Bend in Hot Pepper Red. 1. I like the 2024 grille and bumpers better. 2. I like the smaller and less obtrusive info screen of the 2024 better. 3. I have no issue with engine vibrations. 4. I dislike the all digital instrumentation of the 2025. I much prefer the physical controls of the 2024 (Bad move Ford-you’re going to piss people off). 5. I don’t care about cruise control (never use it) and lane keeping (have it turned off). So I feel I did much better not paying more for things I don’t like.

got our '24 heritage 2 month ago. water pump issues hit the 21-22 models hard but the 24's seem good to go. i paid $6500 under msrp and got ford's offer of 36 months @ 3.9%. i doubt anyone is getting that kind of deal on a new '25. so sure the newest model is going to have some nice perks but you might save a lot on a '24 and also not have to wait.

I prefer having the hard buttons that the 2025 will eliminate. I also would rather have the 2024 touchscreen because I like the extra height of the 2024 over the extra width of the 2025. And I'm not happy about the 12 hp drop in power, either. Plus, in tests I've seen the Sync 4 has too much lag. The only real selling point for me is that the 2025 now has "CoPilot 360 Assist" as standard equipment instead of a $995 option.

Same here! Asking price was for mine 34,000 and got it for 26k! 29 out the door!

[@loganwallermusic]

My Ford dealership mentioned the 2025 would be available in the 2nd week of November!?? I don't think I can wait till February. I'm not looking for the sasquatch package, just a big bend sport.

[@whitewaterhelix]

How is your video the ONLY one that mentions the engine change? Can you provide more details as to if you'd wait for the 2025 because the engine is more reliable/better/etc? I still can't figure out Ford or anyone else hasn't mentioned this significant change to the engines!

[@whitewaterhelix]

jmc6000 any thoughts on the post above? Hoping to get some more information about the engines before making a decision.

[@ElBlogiante]

Is that 2025 engine chain timing belt or wet timing belt?

[@jmc6000]

Both the 1.5 MPC and the 2.0 are timing chain engines. No wet belts at all

[@dennyporter2447]

Just curious is the 1.5 MPC the same as what the 2020 Ford Fusion?

[@jmc6000]

Unfortunately no, that 1.5 in your Fusion is a totally different powertrain platform and Unfortunately that engine in your Fusion is subject to coolant intrusion where the engine will start to consume its own coolant

[@johndaltroff2241]

If you can wait a year, get a 2025 leftover.😜

[@danielhertzig9085]

I cant imagine a three cylinder lasting as long as an even cylinder engine could. I could be wrong. Just my opinion, for how unbalanced they must run.

[@robertdevoy3119]

Consumer Reports says they idle rough and vibrate at certain rpm's.

[@ShawnBox]

No HVAC buttons... Lame. 25 BL+Sas = Height of 24 BSBL. Unless someone wants more recovery points or sync4 with minimal buttons... The 24s will save them a ton of $$$. They only went up $500 because they want people to spend $4k on the SAS package.

[@likeatr332]

wait and then they will be forced to give you a better deal on 24

[@likeatr332]

wow, just finished ur vid. SO HONEST! its refreshing for once. This is not a normal video review as far as truths and reality being bluntly told. and great advice. would like to know more about the sasquatch situation and if its worth it since I NEEEEEEEEED ground clearance to get home. I live off grid and steep hill with snow is my only concern and it dont get plowed so I'd like it to be better than a subaru wilderness.

[@robertdevoy3119]

Don't wait too long or you'll have very few choices. Plus, if you have a trade the value drops while waiting.
