Sirocco – 2021 Badlands – Area 51 Blue – Build Journal
Originally picked up in May 2024 as the second owner with just over 40,000 miles and some hail damage on it. My intention when purchasing this car was to upgrade from my 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe, and build something off-road /overland capable for the few times a year I go camping/hiking across the country. In addition to this I also bought it firmly as long term car…
Meant to do this as I went along but here we are. Wanted to compile and begin tracking the progress of my 2021 Badlands build.

NEW 2025 BS Badlands Error After First 400 Miles



[ATTACH type=”full”…
Saw this error a couple days ago – anyone else seen this? New 2025 Badlands. No check engine light – got an actual message on display to get vehicle serviced (don’t member exact wording). This is screenshot using Forscan where I could pull details. I actually have multiple codes – see second image. Can’t say I’m to impressed after spending about 40K on a vehicle to see DTC’s already – some non trivial.

Injector recall no parts disappeared
The fuel injector recall that has been out for so long with no parts available has disappeared from Ford app. Might just be an app issue as seat bolt recall disappeared from full size recall notice in app. Anyways. What is going on with the injector?
Cherry bomb muffler
I know a lot of you guys are very mechanical inclined. Would any of the cherry bomb brand mufflers fit a 2024 big bend edition.
Anybody see this of have one?

Hello Bronco sport people
Just switched to a Bronco Sport BB 2025 from a, sorry to say, Chevy. I still have an 81 Corvette so I am not rid of the GMs yet. This 25 Big Bend I purchased is making me a Ford guy again (knock wood I hope some of the earlier issues are ironed out). I have been reading this sight for a while and found everyone to be very helpful so I registered today and I look forward to interacting with you all from time to time.
