2025 Bronco Sport Badlands - More Off Road Capabilities

[@TopSecretVid]

A Bronco Sport SAS in manual transmission please!!

[@SpaceTech54]

Badlands!!! Forever!!!

[@FordEnthusiast413]

Thanks Tim. I really appreciate how you break down each trim in detail. I have always been a fan of the Bronco Sport since a cousin of mine got a Big Bend that she absolutely loves and recommends to all her friends! I really like what Ford has done for 2025. I am more of a fan for the Badlands as it has the 2.0L. Sasquatch package looks cool. I have never been into off-roading but maybe this may be the vehicle that gets me started. Although a friend also told me the new 2025 Explorer does a decent job off-road when the proper GOAT mode is selected.

I am holding out for the Bronco Sport Raptor.

Exactly….using the 350hp, 350LB foot Focus RS 2.5L engine..a two inch lift and even more rugged suspension…call it HOSS 4.0

[@idigbebop]

Wow, I wish this was longer. I need the back seat room. Ford, stretch this out. Match the Land Cruiser length 190".

I am waiting on availability of Badlands trim w/ Sasquatch package. Will the current “you tube” specials still apply? Thanks for the video.

[@longmcarthurford]

@@carsoncunningham7993 yes

I would really like to see some kind of handle for the back tailgate. Being that the liftgate is not electric the only way to lift it is with your finger tips under where you click the button to unlock. If I lift the tailgate a lot, my finger tips do begin to get sore. Don't even try to lift it if your fingers are wet. A handle built in, or attached to the tailgate would be a lot more useful and appreciated. I would like to know if I am the only one who seems to be having this issue, or have requested some king of handle put on. I have the 2021 badlands and I still love my vehicle. I have had only one minor issue since I bought the Bronco Sport.

Do you know which models have the "Outland Rust" brown seats? I saw them on a Sasquatch Package of either the Badlands or Outer Banks and can't find it anywhere on the ford website.

This may seem odd, but would like a Badlands version without the skid plates/protection; is that possible? The design of vehicle negatively impacted by those front skid plates.

[@longmcarthurford]

@@mikescholl4390 No, that is standard

[@bryan1480]

Feeling like the brush guard should just be an accessory option...

Badlands Sport looks great, but at $45,000 who is this for? Yes it’s the most capable Bronco Sport. The most capable Sport is a lesser version of a Big Bend with a locker or any Black Diamond Bronco and above. There’s discounts for full size Broncos with a Sasquatch package making a 45k Badlands Sport an odd pricing choice.

[@BrandonColbyJ]

I feel like even for Ford, the Bronco Sport is in an awkward position and they aren’t sure what to do with it. I just hope it doesn’t go the way of the Edge where they increase the price but not the value.

[@longmcarthurford]

@shiftymcgee9359 It works for people that don't want the bigger Bronco or the Convertible style. The sport is quieter.

[@shiftymcgee9359]

@@longmcarthurford fair point but not at a similar price point to a full size Bronco. 45k for a smaller engine, smaller vehicle, with all the cost cutting of modern vehicles. Removing physical buttons and swapping gauges for screens. At MOST Badlands Sport is worth 39k.

[@longmcarthurford]

@@shiftymcgee9359 Great because standard Bronco Sport Badlands is $39k.

[@shiftymcgee9359]

@@longmcarthurford guess I got the 45k number after the mini Sasquatch and tech packages are added.

[@mpeugeot]

LOL, Rock Crawl mode... more like Mall Crawl mode... no one is seriously going to be rock crawling a Bronco Sport. It's far too limited in the articulation to be taken seriously (especially in the rear).

[@Rush856]

Why are you claiming a larger tire size (time 14:20+)? The optional Falken Wildpeak tires are the same 29.1" diameter as the new Goodyear Territory RTs. That's a rather disingenuous claim by Ford.

[@longmcarthurford]

@@Rush856 Ford made a big deal that it was the largest tire size in the compact suv segment.

[@eddy9260]

Are the seats on the Badlands Sasquatch package real leather? Like those on the Badlands?, I like the color, but it would be bad in they are not leather.

[@longmcarthurford]

The base material stays the same with Dove Gray inserts that are cloth with Lime accents.
