Learn The Bronco Sport Trim Levels

[@edsel762]

I have a 2023 Badlands, and my wife does also. Absolutely love them. Off road to us is the mall parking lot.

[@brendazamora1113]

How’s the noise level in the expressway?

[@tylersheppard5450]

Realist comment I’ve ever seen

[@67L48]

The most important part of shopping BS trim levels is to understand the traditional approach to trim levels does *not* apply. Traditionally, a vehicle might have trim levels A, B, C, and D. A is the base model. Trim level B adds 18 features to A. Trim C is everything that B has plus another 15 features. Trim D is everything that C has plus another batch of features. Rinse and repeat. The BS does not necessarily work that way. For example, the Outer Banks trim has heated steering wheel and ambient lighting. Step up to the Badlands trim and you get a bunch of new features (e.g., 2.0L engine), but you lose the heated steering wheel and ambient lighting ... the latter of which can never be added back in. So, you just have to keep that in mind and be more careful when feature-shopping the BS trim levels. Moving "up" in trim levels may get you some additional things you like, but you have to be careful that you didn't lose some other features that you really liked.

[@RichmondFordLincoln]

This is true but because the Outer Banks is considered the luxury trim while the Badlands is the more off-road focused. You can up-fit the Badlands to be optioned similarly to the Outer Banks with luxurious features for an additional $2,900. But for those customers more interested in using their Bronco Sport in a more rugged fashion the Badlands capability exceeds the need for the luxurious features while keeping costs lower.

[@BoxingWorksHermosaBeach]

⁠@@RichmondFordLincolnso, then the Heritage limited essentially combines the off road capabilities of the Badlands with the luxury items of the Outer Banks?

[@RichmondFordLincoln]

@@BoxingWorksHermosaBeach Yes plus the theme of the Heritage trim.

[@belairmulti-services6074]

Nice review if i choose the outerboank full equip with heated stering etc Is there a specify number , and it will be cheaper prices over the badlands right?

[@dannysdailys]

The costs lower? Is that what you think they are? @@RichmondFordLincoln

[@mateointriago6082]

In South America we have a version called Wildtrack, with a 2.0 engine.

I have a 2024 Outer Banks and I love it. It does everything I need to do

[@justinperez4310]

Got the same one three days ago and I agree it perfect on the road

[@mattplante1314]

Just bought a big bend with upgraded 18 rims and the tech package and convince

[@Muffin192213]

I want the Badlands mainly for the 2.0 engine.

[@mikewilson0]

Yeah, same. I'd actually possibly prefer the outer banks, but the 1.5l engine just scares me off.

[@troywiltshire5272]

Back in May I won an Outerbanks model on a salvage auction. Unfortunately the damage was worse than I thought, so I still don’t have it repaired yet. Still collecting parts, but it still smells new and has 2700 miles on it.

[@RichmondFordLincoln]

Best of luck! If you ever need parts we have the largest inventory of parts in the state of VA with our own dedicated warehouse.

[@moisetopaz]

This was a very informative video. The one thing that you didn't mention was about the remote and remote start assist.

[@RichmondFordLincoln]

Remote start is available via your key fob, if equipped with the button. Hit the lock button once, then hit the button with circle with the number 2 in it twice to remote start. Or you can remote start via the Ford Pass App by sliding the bar across the screen under the lock and unlock buttons.

[@MiMorenitaMia]

Am window shopping for my next mini suv, not much of an off-road person maily daily commute in the city but i love the beefy look of the bronco sport

[@ksfishchannel]

You'll love the gas mileage, too... I'm a commuter too and I love being able to drive something beefy looking and that's amazing in the snow but still get almost 30 mpg!

[@ksfishchannel]

Also, now this may just be me, but this thing is COMFORTABLE. I drove mine across the country with a friend, took turns driving, no motels, nothing, we would just swap sweats, get gas, and keep driving. Sat in that thing for 36 hours straight and never once got uncomfortable. So the level of comfort the seats give you is excellent for communting.

[@filemontorres7635]

Thank you for the video, I wish our dealer here in California was as knowledgeable as you…

[@RichmondFordLincoln]

Thanks! Remember we can ship vehicles anywhere in the lower 48!

[@dannysdailys]

If he was knowledgeable, he'd know Ford is going bankrupt with a mighty crash. Chrysler will be right behind them.

[@MatthewYoink]

As a Bronco sport 2021 owner… the only bonus you get with the upper models are sand and rock crawl… if you’re a posh fuck, you’ll get some detail on the fenders and lettering, but otherwise no… this vehicle is not in anyway worth $40,000. That’s just what these dealerships have to charge to make money while they also try to get you on in house financing. You’ll be fine with the base base model for starting 28k, which is still expensive to me for basically a dolled up ford explorer… ask how much each piece of the bronco cost if damaged, the headlights alone are $2800… so be really picky when going after this vehicle and for those that don’t know, AWD is not 4x4. You’d be better off getting a base two door bronco… Ford comes up with all this extra shit to charge you more for less… especially after 2021, they took away a lot of the standard equipment and offered them as add ons for the 22-23 models.

[@failtolawl]

What I see from 2021 models around me, the 2 doors end up costing 10k more than the 4 doors. And the Bronco Sport is 4WD not AWD, although I would argue that for commuter use, AWD is better in almost every situation you see 4 wheels to control the car.

[@MatthewYoink]

@@failtolawl that shouldn’t be the case… 2 doors MSRP starts at 28k, there weren’t many two doors when I got mine right when it hit the market, so I don’t have certainty on that. I’d agree AWD is better for commute, but computer wise, you don’t have the control for H or L unless it’s upper trim models. Base version won’t have that which is why I leaned towards it being a AWD. I’m considering trading up to the actual bronco as soon as these rates go back down because the way the market is going, these cars will hold their value a few more years longer than normal.

[@LetsReadAndTell]

I have a bronco otter banks and I love it

[@samfrancisco8095]

Outer, nitwit.

[@RideMoreNow]

One very important distinction you didn't make that took me a while to discover, is that all lower trim levels only have a Low mode, whereas the Badlands has a Manual mode with paddle shifters. If I had known that right up front I could have avoided wasting time considering a lesser model, since I consider this a "must" feature for towing.

[@Dicki793]

Badlands is really nice 👍

[@martindominguez1518]

Just got my 2024 outer banks sport in desert sand. Like it a lot! Just wish I had the phone charging pad.

[@shawnriv9]

Big Bend or Outerbanks? Is the Outerbanks worth the additional money?

[@RichmondFordLincoln]

The Outer Banks gives you many additional creature comforts over the Big Bend. If you prioritize luxury over out the door price the Outer Banks is a great investment in your daily comfort on your travels.

[@tiredofit4761]

If you want a daily drive and you aren’t climbing mountains on weekends, the Outer Banks is the way to go. It has the perks and comfort. Great gas mileage for driving to work. Love mine.

[@cinialevins8330]

I went with the outer banks. For daily drive, it’s pretty good

[@SSSNoOne]

I hope so.

[@SSSNoOne]

Outerbanks no question.

[@davidplotkin5173]

PS: Is the Heritage Limited coming with lifted suspension and the other improved off-road capability of Badlands? I think so; just checking.

[@RichmondFordLincoln]

Yes, the Heritage Limited is a Badlands wearing a Heritage suit so you get everything the Badlands has in the Heritage Limited when it comes to suspension and powertrain.

[@davidplotkin5173]

Very clear explanation of all the trims, thank you! I will be in the market for the Sport soon; I want the extra off-road capability of the 2.0L plus the extra electronics package so that directs me to Badlands with add-on packages, or Heritage Limited. Willing to wait for '25 if there will be good changes (like version 4 of info system or 12" screen), or if a HEV model is coming out with those extra drive modes a la Badlands. BTW I live in Calif but can go anywhere to purchase. A 'demo' or low miles used is fine by me. Any thoughts? Thank you!

[@RichmondFordLincoln]

We sell to people all around the states! We could definitely help you out. We are not privy to any upcoming changes to the Bronco Sport for 2025. Ford is just as tight-lipped to dealers as they are the public when it comes to comments on future product offerings. We will know as soon as you will. But I would bank on the infotainment system as well as a minor interior overhaul upgrade as the Escape is already running a newer infotainment system. Ford is slowly moving toward their Google-based Ford Digital Experience in future models so the Bronco Sport may just skip SYNC 4 altogether.

[@johnpaultanascu5334]

I just picked up a demo & for the 7000 savings,I'm happy with it.

[@JoseDiaz-qw7mg]

The bronco sport is the jack of all trades I’ve always wanted, but the price is so high for a crossover and the trim levels are all over the place that it makes me shy away from buying one

[@RichmondFordLincoln]

A ton of incentives are running right now through the first of the year. We are doing 0 for 60 on already discounted Bronco Sports as well as $2,000 cash back and no payments for 90 days. You can even stack on Ford's always-running incentives for military/first responders, and students. You can get a brand new Bronco Sport for around $30k and if you buy with us we have a 100,000-mile warranty. There are some strong things to consider if you are in the market right now. 🙂

[@heathjohnson2575]

What does being a crossover have to do with anything? People totally overuse the term crossover. It's a small off-road capable SUV that's all. Not trying to be a car so how is it a crossover?

[@JoseDiaz-qw7mg]

@@heathjohnson2575 the Bronco Sport IS a Crossover SUV. It's based on the Escape... Every SUV based on another car platform is a CROSSOVER. A simple google search will tell you this obvious fact.

[@IWeasel]

⁠@@heathjohnson2575people don’t even know what a CUV is more less an smaller SUV everything isn’t a freaking crossover. If the person can’t afford to purchase it I’d rather they say that then try to make it seems as if it’s to many trim levels and the fact that it’s a cuv.

[@IWeasel]

You shying away from it because you don’t wanna spend any money it’s better then the Jeep compass I’ll tell you that

[@ph2738]

I just got a 2023 Heritage, but no phone charger. I’ve been trying to find a better explanation of what the GOAT modes are. Does Eco free the front hubs? What’s the difference between Sandy and Slippery? Is one of these modes locking the differential slip?

[@RichmondFordLincoln]

GOAT mode stands for "Goes Over Any Terrain". They are just the different drive modes you are speaking of. Eco mode changes the shift pattern and power output to conserve fuel. The difference between all off-road modes will determine the levels of slip and power to each wheel to best suit the conditions it is faced with.

[@happyblackwoman6154]

So is Badlands better than outer banks?

[@RichmondFordLincoln]

The Outer Banks is more of a luxury version of the Bronco Sport. The Badlands is more focused on off-road performance. The Badlands has a bit of a higher starting price because of the larger engine, upgraded suspension and larger/more capable off-road tires but the Badlands comes with cloth seats and less luxury features than the Outer Banks. But of course if you increase the price of the Badlands you can get the best of both worlds and outfit the Luxury items from the Outer Banks on the Badlands with leather, B&O audio, wireless charger etc...

[@trustavidity]

Does the seating memory on the Outer Banks come standard on newer models? Because I'm picking up a 2022 Outer Banks in a couple days and it lacks the memory function.

[@AliceRiobueno]

Is the Wildtrack version a fusion between the Outer Banks and the Badlands? (In some countries, the Wildtrack is available on the dealers)

[@davidstevens9256]

I actually love my Bronco Sport! I had car less than a month when tire developed a slow leak! Ford dealership said I was going to have to buy a new tire at 268.00! REALLY? They said it was leaking due to Road hazard! I have not hit anything! The tire sidewall looks like it separating! I started doing research on the Tire and found out this tire has major structural issues!on Continental’s own website it gets 2.7 stars! Almost all the bad reviews are related to weak sidewalls! Separating, blowouts, sidewall bubbles! My trouble is that these tires should be discontinued and recalled! From Reading the reviews they are dangerous! My biggest disappointment is that Ford would actually put such poor rated tires on a New Vehicle! I am going to have to Replace all the Tires! Ford blames the tires I blame Ford for putting such crap on a new car! Especially a Bronco Sport! This Tire cannot even handle smooth pavement much less unpaved! Warning! If you are buying a New Ford MAKE sure it does not have this crappy dangerous tire! “Continental ProContact tx”

[@DerpMcDerp101]

why am i not surprised.

[@SSSNoOne]

I don't know where you got yours but mine came with Michelin tires those are high quality.

[@qtrhors1]

Those factory tires are lame. Changed mine out at 1500 mi on my 22 big bend.

[@ofcbob6391]

I believe tires are not covered by the car manufacturer, you have to contact the manufacturer of the tire (Continental). They should replace that bad tire without a fight.

[@OBXLanden]

Ok I’m torn, how would yall say its size is compared to like a 2012 Escape? It looks kinda small to me and I need an opinion of whether it is spacious or not.

The layout of the dash, center console, plus the fact that there is not a large shifter in the way I think the Bronco Sport would be much more comfortable than the 2012 Escape from a drivers perspective.

[@RichardHendsbee]

My 2024 bronco sport outerbanks makes a rattle sound on startup… my dealership is saying that’s normal…. Anyone encounter this issue?

[@JA-ru3il]

Yeah, it's something to do with the odometer, dashboard assembly. It sounds like the needles used on the display- have a washer or component that rattles against the plastic of it's housing. The odometer is fine, it just sounds loose sometimes. It almost sounds like a quarter inside of an empty popcan if you took a vibrating device to the side of the can.

[@spyder000069]

Sadly you can only get the 2.0 in the Badlands and its max tow is 2200 lbs. However, you can get a escape ST select with the 2.0 and 3500lb tow rating for less money. So if you need to tow a side by side or a few quads you may be legally beyond the tow capacity of the bronco sport. The ford maverick XL 4x4 with 2.0 and 4k tow runs just over $28k msrp versus having to go badlands bronco sport 2.0 at over $41k. If only the maverick was obtainable it would be a no brainer.

[@karlm8682]

Mavericks are easy to get, and even at MSRP now.

[@itsesmir]

Badlands has upgraded suspension, which only allows for lower towing capacity; Maverick has the same issue with the Tremor package; you can only tow up to 2200 pounds.

[@spyder000069]

@@karlm8682 That is location dependent. Its rare that I see a maverick on the lots around me in northern Illinois and the ones I have seen still have dealer markups and fake/unwanted dealer addons. I have also seen dealers have hidden the window sticker on the mavericks on their sites so you can't compare the MSRP. I see F-150's, escapes, bronco sports in bulk on the lots around here.

[@geraCoyote]

I don't understand why American cars have bad fuel economy, this SUV has worst MPG than a RAV4 Ford example, bigger, heavier SUV but better fuel economy, what's the science behind?

[@RichmondFordLincoln]

The engine. The Bronco Sport's base engine is a smaller displacement 1.8L 3 cylinder and is turbo charged. The RAV 4 has a 2.5L naturally aspirated engine. However the RAV 4 doesn't offer the capability of the Bronco Sport. There are a ton of variables to choose one over the other. This small SUV segment has many competitors that offer's one thing over another. That's the beauty of choice!

[@10tenman10]

1.5L 3 cylinder engine would not be on my menu

[@JA-ru3il]

Hey it wouldn't be with me too, to be honest i thought the vehicle i was buying was a 4 cylinder. While test driving it the dealer told me it was a 1.5l 3Cylinder and to be honest i don't notice a difference. It's better on fuel economy and it can handle situations I'll need it for and that's all that really matters to me. It can go from 0-100 quite easily in sport mode and it's very fun to drive

[@10tenman10]

@JA-ru3il I drove a 1.5L Escape in September. Rode nicely. I still think it is small for the size of the vehicle

I would love to see a ST or RS or Raptor version focused on SPORT not off-road. Lower it, put in a 6 cyl ECO Boost!!!!

[@RichmondFordLincoln]

That would be pretty cool! Maybe in the next iteration of the Bronco Sport, they will add power to live up to the name "Sport". But I don't think there is much room in the engine bay to squeeze in a 2.7L EcoBoost. But maybe the next one will be a hybrid like the Aviator Grand Touring that puts out amazing numbers! 🤞

[@Rokosbasil]

Badlands sport for serious offloading? Lol say what?

[@RichmondFordLincoln]

The Badlands is a capable off-road vehicle with advanced features from factory like upgraded suspension and more capable all-terrain tires than on the other trims. By no means are you taking a Bronco Sport Badlands to King of the Hammers. But relatively speaking the Bronco Sport is very capable off-road for what it is.
