2022 Ford Bronco Sport | The Badlands is the BEST trim!

[@wakeupbreathing]

A Ford dealer here in San Diego called me and offered a killer deal on a 2022 Badlands if I traded in my 2021 Sport base model. My 21 Sport was paid off so they offered me 30K for my 21 and gave me the 22 Badlands for 38K. The Badlands is so far and away better than the base model. I love it!

[@CarsWithSteve]

Wow that's a killer deal you got on it! Such a big different between the Base and Badlands but good to know you're loving it. Have you taken it off-road yet or just daily driving?

[@wakeupbreathing]

@@CarsWithSteve Not taken it off road. I dont really know how much I will ever get off road. I thought it was a great deal to get the 2L ecoboost Badlands version which I liked anyway. I will drive it to work occasionally but I prefer my daily driver my 2011 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor. But the Badlands is fun to drive and my wife loves the B&O sound system. What amazed me was the dealer addon price of the Badlands was 50K.

This video was the most thorough review on the Bronco Sport. Excellent work!

[@geolizardo]

Great review! Ordered my Bronco Sport Badlands in early January and just got the email that they will be building it next week. Can't wait! I have the 2008 Escape, and I couldn't bring myself to order the new Escape. The new body style looks like every other car on the road now. I really like the design of this Bronco. I did not end up ordering the co-pilot 360+ package. I've driven rentals with similar systems and found it more distracting than helpful. You mentioned that the factory installed tow package also includes the full size spare. In fact, the Badlands comes with the full size spare whether you order the tow package or not. The Outer Banks and Big Bend have the mini spare as standard equipment (that gets upgraded to full size spare when you order the tow package).

[@byrde4329]

Ordered a Badlands Jan 31 myself. Received my build date a few days later for April 11 and it was moved to the 18th. Is that your build date as well?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thanks Scott! Great that your build cycle is pretty quick! The look of that older Escape compared to the newer one is exactly why I'm glad that Ford introduced the Bronco Sport - people loved the boxy look at separate glass Appreciate you pointing out that correction on the spare! Bang on with the OB and BB spare, thanks!

[@geolizardo]

@@byrde4329 I have not been offered a specific build date. Only that it was going to be started next week. There is still the possibility of electronics shortages that could hold it up further I'd imagine.

[@honhonson9601]

Steve! Holy crap I was looking for the correct video and this popped up in my feed. Your 2021 video of a lesser trim on this SUV went into SO many detailed options I had to buy it. It arrives in a few weeks. Catching this video of the BSBL which is the exact model I ordered is icing on the cake. THANK YOU! Your in-depth video in 2021 literally helped me decide to buy this, this video just makes the choice icing on the cake!!!

@@CarsWithSteve Definitely, were almost neighbors. I live in Minnesota and frequently travel to the BWCA and into Canada for fishing trips near Thunder Bay/Lake Superior.

Well done Steve! I had to laugh when the vid started - this Bronco Sport is specced almost exactly the way I want ours to be - so it was great to see the full walkthrough. I was especially glad to see it had those rims - I’ve been wanting to see video footage of how they look outdoors. Your vid also convinced me to stick with the Cyber Orange rather than the Bronze Metallic. I’m hoping to place our order this week! Cheers!

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thank you! It's funny how that works! Think you'll end up going for those darker rims in your build?

[@stevenjeziorski9590]

I have the 2022 BS Badlands in Silver (Nickname: Silver Bullitt--Steve McQueen movie--I now have both Ford horses in my corral: 2022 Bronco and 1965 GT FB Mustang). Bronco has ALL available options (Premium, Moonroof, Tow, 360 Assist+, Tinted Side Front windows, Rubber Mats, Cargo Mat, etc.) and very much enjoy my ride! FYI: Engine Cover should be on engine: Functions to reduce engine noise, dirt on electronic components and deflects heat from over-cooking your hood (Clear coat peeling hood later in life). Noticed that rear seat headrests did not have side button to auto-fold and angle down when lowering rear seats. This also is a necessity and allows easier rear seat functionality. Both parts should be on vehicle and dealer will provide. Very cool to ride, lots of looks and comments! Only negative comment is the visor Universal Garage door opener will still open my garage door even if FOB is not near, unsafe if car is left unlocked in front of house (I did not program it). Thanks for your review.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Good reference there and nice Mustang! Is it in that silver as well? Appreciate that owner feedback and great to hear you enjoy the ride. Interesting point about the garage door opener, I wonder if there's a way for the power to be cut when the vehicle is off. Hopefully those headrest buttons find their way into future models!

[@stevenjeziorski9590]

@@CarsWithSteve Thanks for the reference on my Candy Apple Red Fastback Mustang, I think I have it posted on Facebook, it is show-like quality, but I still drive it. It has a 289, 4-speed, Quad-carb with dual exhaust, headers, etc., very fun car!! Good point on the Garage Opener, I will check with my Dealer on a power cut-off switch. Steve, you did another video earlier of a 2021 Bronco Sport Badlands showing the button functionality on the rear headrests. Mine didn't have the rear headrest buttons nor the engine cover and my dealer has now ordered both for me. Do you have a Ford contact to check with on why FOMOCO has missed those 2 items from the build of 2022 Models?? Thank you for your video enthusiasm and in depth knowledge!

[@CarsWithSteve]

@@stevenjeziorski9590 That Mustang must look great! Any shows you're thinking of doing this year? I noticed part way through 2021 Rangers that the button disappeared as well. I think it was a mid model downgrade because of part availability. You might be able to find headrests from a wrecked early 2021 though

[@suzannehedderly1331]

I'm considering getting a Bronco Sport (because some drunk girl wrecked my car in the middle of the night). I very much appreciate your detailed accounting of features. I'm agonizing because there are features I want but many I don't care about. I wish features weren't packaged. But anyway, I like the concise details of your video.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Oy.. that's never a fun reason to have to replace a car. I had that happen to one of my first cars just after I had paid it off 😏 Glad the video helped! Curious.. what are some features that are on your must have list?

[@suzannehedderly1331]

@@CarsWithSteve Omg...that is really awful! I'm really a Jeep person but outside of a Wrangler which is too big for me, Jeep offers no 4WD that doesn't look like a bubble car. I'm struggling with "crossover"...😣. I want utility, boxy, 4WD. Don't care about leather/heated seats/steering wheel, moon roof, luxury stuff. I want cargo space, cloth seats, adjustable height (I'm short), larger engine. Safety features are good. My brain hurts from trying to figure out a build I can afford. My Jeep has been at the collision place over 2 months. I love my Jeep but fear it's no longer trustworthy.

[@CarsWithSteve]

@@suzannehedderly1331 The Badlands Bronco Sport would check most of those boxes - especially if you want a more powerful engine. The Outer Banks has a 1.5L turbo vs the 2.0L turbo in the Badlands trim If you're a fan of Jeep the Grand Cherokee just got a redesign for the 2022 model year - quite a bit bigger than the Bronco Sport but if you need to space it would be a good option

[@johnshottie4415]

I have a 2021 Badlands. The only complaint I have is the towing capacity. I know you give up some for the off road suspension but it would have been nice if they could have gotten to 3500#. You can’t tow much with 2200# capacity. Otherwise it’s almost perfect. I’ve taken it in trails that it should definitely not make it through but it impresses me everytime.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Agree with you on the towing capacity! The Escape 3,500 max vs the 2,200 lbs is a bit disappointing. Awesome you're enjoying it otherwise! I've seen so many great videos of people taking theirs off-road

Whats the point of wireless charging if i have to plug my phone in to use apple play anyways? I dont understand why wireless car play isn't included.

[@CarsWithSteve]

That.. is a great question. I always think the same thing whenever I'm in a car with a wireless charge pad that needs to be plugged in for CarPlay or Android Auto. The Escape got an upgrade for the 2023 model year to Sync4. The Bronco Sport and Maverick are based on the same C6 platform which means we'll probably see that upgrade in the next year or two (2024 or 2025 model)

[@thomasbasler8112]

[@CarsWithSteve]

Have to disagree with you on the word usage there. Sure, the word unique is an absolute adjective and using the intensifier "very" is strange but it's also common language. Very unique is commonly used to mean highly unusual and there's technically no strict grammatical rule about modifying adjectives. Plus.. if this was an academic or scholarly publication I'd probably be more formal but the video is informal in nature Glad you enjoyed the video otherwise 😉

Maverick Lariat Tremor starts at $35K. Bronco Sport Badlands starts at $40k. Same platform. Same engine. Same rear dual clutch locker. If you add the Luxury/Premium to them with copilot 360 they are at $38,425 for the Maverick and $44,125 for the Bronco Sport. In my opinion the Bronco Sport only beats the Maverick if you actually will be doing some serious off road otherwise the Maverick seems to be a far better value with a $5-6K savings (if you don't get hit with dealer markups due to availability.). You can save even more with the Maverick if you go with the XLT and FX4 / 4k tow. Where the Bronco Sport doesn't allow you to choose a cheaper package and still get the 2.0 engine.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thanks Erik! The USB slots were added in to 2021 Bronco Sport models built after May 10 2021 - part of the fun chip/part constraints that have hit manufacturers the since 2020

Wow Steve what a review! Thank you!!

[@CarsWithSteve]

You're welcome, appreciate that!

[@davidraymond8994]

Great review I have been thinking of trading my Audi S4 for one of these.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thanks David! You'll lose a bit of power but won't need to worry about using 91 octane anymore. Thinking about getting into off-roading?

[@davidraymond8790]

@@CarsWithSteve not so much off roading but mostly would use it as a mini suv as I have a large family. I live in Massachusetts and love driving in the snow so will take it out a bit to do some snow driving. I also have the need to do some light towing with a trailer.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Good call on the upgrade if it's a family traveller. I like the boxier style of the Bronco Sport vs the Escape. Have you pulled the trigger or still thinking if it's the right fit?

[@denniswatson9097]

Do the outer banks model

[@CarsWithSteve]

Waiting for a local dealer to have one but it's on the list!

[@jagers4xford471]

I would recommend putting something in your hands to keep them occupied, very distracting. Good review.

If you want to bypass the auto start stop permanently, there is a two wire connector on the battery terminal you can unplug.

[@CarsWithSteve]

The one thing I don't want to point out in my videos ;) in case people do it themselves and find out their powertrain warranty is void

[@TheAverageGamerOf1988]

Bought one... It sucks the tow on it is so low at 2200 pounds. I'd like to tow a boat. Maybe I'll do it anyway.

[@CarsWithSteve]

That's one thing I wish was improved in the Bronco Sport. How much does the boat/trailer weigh?

[@annabutler5384]

Hello! Wondering have you towed with this vehicle? How'd it do?

[@FranklinHicks-qs4gs]

Did you get the toe numbers and trim levels mixed? Does the badlands really tow less than the lower trims

[@CarsWithSteve]

Nope.. stated that the Badlands tows 2,200 lbs while the other trims are 2,000 lbs with the factory tow option

[@FranklinHicks-qs4gs]

@@CarsWithSteve Roger. I hadn't had my coffee and think I got them mixed up 🤔

[@CarsWithSteve]

All good! Haha I’ve mixed numbers up before so I had to watch it

[@TratzPatratz]

Question: do the power ports in the centre console allow you to use SYNC?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Would have to play around with that one next time I'm in a Bronco Sport. The Owner's manual says "connect your device to a USB port" so in theory any port should work but usually it's just the ports above the shifter dial that would work for data transfer

[@scottw2157]

Yes.

[@TratzPatratz]

@@scottw2157 perfect. Thanks.

[@lmlm-ph4pp]

Can you choose seat colors?

[@lmlm-ph4pp]

I like the seat storage!

[@CarsWithSteve]

Yes you can! The base has 1 option, Big Bend/Outer Banks have 2 and the Badlands has 3

[@fbody984life]

Is this color Yellow or Orange?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Technically called Cyber Orange, it's darker in person than it looks on the Ford website
