Overtemperature Condition – Badlands

I had an annoying and potentially troubling issue happen with my new 2023 BS Badlands on a recent trip:

L.A. to Vegas trip, with approx. 1000 miles on the Odometer. I was trying to take it easy as per the engine break-in instructions, but at one point in the trip, going uphill on the freeway in approx 110 degree heat, I accelerated (pedal to the floor for a a few seconds) to pass someone and I got some engine temp / coolant warning, and saw that the engine temp had surged very high.

Stop & Go Traffic

Stop and go traffic is a great feature and seems to work pretty well, although I feel as though it stops too close to the vehicle in front, mine stops about 5 feet to the vehicle in front of me, is that normal?
I feel like it should stop leaving at least 2 cars length.

Aftermarket aluminum oil pan

I have a 2024 BB with the 1.5T I bought used from Avis.. I just did my first oil change.(It’s obvious oil changes have been done.) I just don’t care for or trust the plastic oil pan and drain plug. I tried a Ronin and it would not stay in, so I put a new plastic one in. I just don’t trust the Ford cost cutting. Does anyone make an aftermarket oil pan that I could swap the stock one out with? Thanks

Stop / Start feature rarely engages

I purchased a 2024 Bronco Sport 1.5 L 2 months ago.
From the beginning, the stop/start feature rarely operates, despite having the option in the on position.

I have taken it back to the dealership and they said it works “intermittently” based on several factors, such as battery strength, electrical usage used for heated seats, and heat on may cause this option not to work, by saving the charge in the battery.

Has anyone else experienced this useless option?

Bring A Trailer Auctions

Anyone here purchased a car through the Bring A Trailer auctions? There always seems to be a good mix of old and newer cars and some prices are very good and some seem to be for more than a new car.

Tire Rack tests 9 A/T tires, on road, video


Pretty good review but no off-road or snow testing yet.

As this post is getting a little traction, pun intended, I thought I’d post a review by my favorite Tire (Tyre) Reviewer, TyreReviews.com . I am, actually, a monthly contributor $, to him.
He does actual off road tests and while he’s not doing mud bogs or rock crawling, not many of us are doing those, in our Bronco Sports. He does test on dirt and gravel roads and snow and ice…
