Ford Bronco Sport - Hidden Details Revealed and Explained! Complete In-Depth Review!

[@user-xv8wc4ht1l]

I have been obsessed with this since release. I drive a 2020 BMW, but wanted a small SUV that didn’t look like a “soccer mom” car (no offense to soccer moms). This was exactly it. The Outer Banks was perfect for me.

Did you have a 2008 - 2012 Escape? I have a 2012 that’s been great and I still love it. This vehicle body looks alot like it. In fact the inside trunk looks exactly the same. Never thought I’d see the day that I’d be able to get another Ford on the lines of those looks and it comes in green too. 🤗😃💃

We had a 2008 Mariner/Escape, loved it because it was like a truck.

Solid review. I got my ‘22 Big Bend a couple of months ago and really enjoy it for what it is. I feel like a lot of people don’t understand the Bronco Sport. It’s the perfect vehicle for me right now. It’s not the perfect vehicle for everyone. Especially for those who think it should be a full size Bronco or a clone of other vehicles in the Compact & Subcompact SUV class.

I have one and love it! Perfect size and great gas mileage! And it looks sweet going down the road!

Just bought a 2023 outer banks version. I wanted a car that does not need to go off road but to get me off the road. I really like the look of the sport. Kayaks, hiking, biking and getting to my cabin on a gravel road, but live day to day in the suburbs. Really meets what I was looking for.

I was looking at a Subaru. Now I am looking this way. Thank you for pointing out more things than I noticed on my own. Great video!

Great review! We just purchased one today and will pick it up on Monday. You forgot to show the bottle opener! 😉

[@tiredofit4761]

Many people want to hate on folks like me getting the Bronco Sport. I love Ford. My old car was a Taurus SHO. I loved the old Broncos- and actually they weren’t like the “Hummer” clone of the big Bronco. They truly looked more like the sport. I got mine in Hot Pepper. Love the 2 tone colors. Its nice looking and I get 30 mpg for daily driving. For people who want to drive in mud and trash their vehicles go get the 60k big Bronco and go for it. As far as the Outer Banks model it had all I wanted. I wish Ford would start making cars again. Love my Bronco but would buy another Taurus in a heartbeat.

Thanks for sharing!

[@dtj2913]

Same. My fav of all the cars I have owned. Smooth comfortable ride, Great mpg. Looks GREAT. My Outer Banks the way cool Area 51 color with a black top. It's a year old and people seek me out in parking lots to compliment the looks and talk to me about my Bronco!

This was a good video to learn about some of those hidden features Peter mentioned although I am finding some on my own after buying my Ford Bronco Sport Badlands model a week ago. I LOVE it. It has a similar look to the Toyota Rav IV that I had for years before they went bubble-shaped. I love the round "eyes". The white lettering offers nice contrast to the Cactus Gray paint. The rubber cargo and floor mats are a huge plus since they are included. Ford packed a lot of great features and amenities into this baby Bronco.

I have the 2022 Badlands model and it has been superb. It is great on the highway and when I do adventure to lesser traveled turrain, there is no problem whatsoever. And being in Canada, it is amazing in the snow.

I am a first time owner of a Ford and previously had a couple of Jeep Cherokees by far. I love my new Ford bronco sport Outer Banks. I’ve got the bright red one with that orange looking color. I think they call it red hot pepper or something. It’s a lot of fun Thank you Henry Ford for starting making Fords.

He had decided on the Corolla Cross, but it was looking like several months to find what he wanted so I took him to drive a Bronco Sport and a Maverick. He picked the Bronco in Red Hot Chili Pepper (I forget the actual paint name, but it’s a pretty red). Just picked it up last night.

[@TheSugaShae]

I have the Bronco Sport and love it. Another thing we found out is you can use the Fob to lower your windows and raise them. Which makes it nice if you have your windows down and it starts raining. You don’t have to run out to the vehicle to raise the windows.

This is a practical vehicle for the replacement of our trade in, a 10 year old 2012 Ford Escape. Similar style on the body with the upgrades of computer technology… & fuel economy is excellent! Bronco Sport has a 5 star front and back NTSB safety evaluation. All the points expressed by Pete are appreciated by folks who own the models with the features, and most will back him up for the points , especially outdoor folks without children… or two plus travelers. This is a great sensible vehicle for two folks and a large dog! A better choice for family is an Explorer. GOAT modes are computer programmed drive modes… for those who care less about details, they drive FNR, ( forward neural reverse ) … old school… and will serve the old school drivers . Computer will serve average drivers well. The most worthy modes are sport for driving under 30mph. Normal for 40 mph, eco for driving over 70 and slippery for heavy snow and rain. Sand mode is for sand on beaches or situations where you are stuck in mud or snow. In regards to fuel economy, all these modes have worked in favor of 25 mpg and better. The only exception is changing out the aluminum wheels with steel wheels and snow/all terrain tires for 23 mpg average fuel consumption. The only negative issue is the paint chips easy and requires a tube of repair paint to diminish the flaws and prevent rust. We use this as a city, suburb and county ride… as well as an emergency vehicle for the fire department and dog control. It’s been a reliable vehicle.

I have a 2021 Sport and have noticed that in the last several months the heads up display and radio have been intermittently not working. For example at random times, I cannot change the radio station without pushing the radio button several times. It is like it "gets stuck". Then yesterday while driving the whole display went blank and went into restart mode. I have also noticed that the plug to connect my phone to for AppleCarPlay causes my phone to get very hot and then it will stop charging. I have a thick case on my phone so the pad does not work. I have taken it in several times and of course they cannot find anything wrong. Just curious if these have been problems documented by others. Other than that I love it for the 1 1/2 yrs I have had it. It is the perfect vehicle for me. It has been all over the Midwest!

Nice after-market tires on those standard 17 inch wheels! (probably noisy though) But those plastic flaps just ahead of the front tires have to go! Anyone know if this drives FWD until slippage? Or is the 4X4 setup always working (and robbing gas mileage)

Pretty sure the AWD is engaged constantly. This is NOT a very fuel efficient car especially with the 2.0 Liter engine. I have the Outer Banks with the standard 1.5 Eco Boost and avg around 23 mpg in the city and 29 on the highway.

I just drove one from Mississippi to California doing as much as 85 mph in those states that allow 80mph and am getting 29.9 mpg for the whole trip. That little 3 cylinder gets great mileage and is only turning 2500rpms at 85 mph.

[@ofcbob6391]

I think this particular Big Bend has an inch or so lift, as there is more room between the top of the tire and the wheel well trim. More than a normal Big Bend.

I wish mine came with tires like that stock. The stock Continental tires are offensively bad.

[@dennisbuhr9113]

I agree. The only good thing about the Continentals is the Easter egg bronco on them. I just drove through a very heavy downpour and I hydroplaned. I only have 11,000 miles on mine and can't justify the new tire expense. But I will be getting a more aggressive tire .. possibly Falkens.

Hi Peter. Did you used to work for a Kia/Hyundai dealership? I think I remember seeing you on another channel. I looked at a Bronco Sport Badlands as well as the Subaru Outback Touring and Hyundai Tucson Limited . Found both a bit larger in passenger and cargo capacity. Any thoughts? Would you say the Bronco Sport is a better choice?

[@PeterLoweOne]

I did used to work for them. I went on my own about a year and a half ago and it's been great. I'm able to do things that interest me online, but I'm also able to do a lot of things offline that I'm really enjoying being a part of. As far as choosing the Bronco Sport or the Outback or another... It's always tough for me to choose for others. I'd choose the Outback for myself because I love lots of storage, but the Bronco Sport is very well done, and if it meets your needs, I don't think you can go wrong. I know that doesn't help too much, but at least it's my honest opinion.

[@FordEnthusiast413]

@@PeterLoweOne thanks for your thoughts!! The Subaru Outback is a great vehicle! I have owned one as well as a Legacy 2.5 GT and a Forester. The Tucson was very comfortable to drive and was spacious. However not as rugged or outdoorsy looking as the Outback or Bronco Sport. I do like the Bronco Sport Badlands however I think the Outback may be more reliable in the long run.

Could you explain the shutters in the front grill? Are they auto or manually opened and closed. Great video.

I got a Bronco Sport Heritage 2023. Very disappointed that it does NOT have an auto lift GAIT, does NOT come with rubberized mats in the interior…black thin carpet.. REALLY? Had to buy them! My Daughter’s RAV4 came with both these features at no extra cost. The GPS is mediocre at best. I could not get a 7 prong tow adaptor put on it…they said it could void the warrantee! I have a very light camper, but it has electric brakes. So I had to buy an adaptor, and can’t use the brakes. The dealership was so inconsiderate and awful…I will NEVER get a FORD again.

Excellent job, you understand marketing and aiming a vehicle and its features for customer needs and interests. A heart of an educator, I guess! What frightens me here is Fords' penchant for product problems..I would doubt its reliabilty will end up being very good..too many corporate product issues. You will always have some, but owners should not have to be plagued so many of them!

Thanks for your kind words. I'm not as worried about Ford's reliability as you are. I've worked with different manufacturers and seen plenty of vehicle from all brands have issues, I don't think this vehicle is poorly built or poorly engineered. Not saying it'll be the most or least reliable in it's class, but personally, I wouldn't shy away from this vehicle.

EVERY car has issues and recalls! My daughter has an Infinity that has endless recalls and the window won’t roll up or down. It’s not even 6 years old. My DIL has an Acadia that has transmission issues at 80k miles. In the last 35 years we drove Fords religiously. Most bought used. 1998 Mustang with 300k miles, 1994 Probe with 300k miles, Escort with over 350k miles. F150 300k miles. My last car is a 2015 Taurus SHO 202k miles. I wouldn’t trade her in - she still runs like a charm! The dealership begged me to trade. This is a nice SUV. Too bad they force you to buy SUVs because they don’t make cars anymore. That Taurus is one to beat on the road!! Any time there is a recall on any part Ford has taken care of it quickly and there’s no cost. Take care of your cars.

Can anyone suggest me in this please and thank you Bronco Big Bend or Rav 4 hybrid LE ???

[@PeterLoweOne]

If fuel mileage matters to you, then you have to choose the Hybrid. If you like to go a little further off-road, and like the more rugged features of the Bronco Sport, that's the one for you. I would sit in them and test drive them. There are people that would never consider the Toyota, and others who would never consider the Ford. What other people choose shouldn't decide what you choose. Sit in them each, drive them each, and you should have a good idea of which one is best for you.

Reminds me of a more modern Xterra

[@PeterLoweOne]

It sort of does. The roof line for sure. This isn't body on frame though, so it's a different style SUV, but the spirit is similar and it does share some lines.

[@Strick9-newfie]

It's kinda like the older escape bobby befor they turned them onto a car.

[@tristenlittke7593]

The only thing I hate is how it's lost the length and with of 2012 escape if it was same then sold

[@SIR-RyBread]

Hi all! I have a question I'm hoping one of you fellow Bronco companions can help me with? Long story short I've searched forever on the internet and KZbin to find a video on how to replace the little black plastic bumper piece on the bottom of the passenger side door...(someone hit it when I was inside store 😢) but I bought the replacement piece and it looks like snap-on clips but I cannot for the life of me pop it off, is there something I'm doing wrong is there a video that someone can point me in the right direction? Thank you all Bronco lovers see you on the road! 🐴

[@timblake5908]

You didn't address the location of the brake and gas pedals. The height of the brake pedal is a BIG problem, and they are non-adjustable.

[@PeterLoweOne]

It didn't bother me.

[@Cheers_Warren]

good review , yes you pointed out a few things ill look for on my 2022 badlands. that was a very high spec vehicle so a few extras i won't have but that's ok. full size spare option and tow hitch were tops for me. The 2 things i don't like are the high rear wiper box that makes you think there is a car tail gating you and I would almost give up this vehicle because of the rotary gear shift! Honestly totally spoils my driving experience, 50 years with inline or column shifter with positive detents, this POS you have to look at every time to see where you are. I'm going to have to learn to look at the dashboard to check the gear position. really pisses me off. oh! one other thing is the parts they left off on the 2022 compared to the 2021......cheap bastards! leave it as the engineers designed it!...... its a $50k vehicle for crying out loud! cheers warren
