Used 2025 Badlands

I look at used car sales to pass some time. Looking at the 2025 Badlands, in California, I’ve notice quite a few for sale and a lot of them are rentals.

Almost all do not have the tech package or sunroofs. Some Ford certified, 8-15K miles. Mostly are $32k to $34K. Not bad deals if you don’t want the options…

Shout out to Discount Tire

I replaced my Falken Tires in October with 235/70R17 Wrangler Workhorse AT’s. So far, I’ve been very happy with them. Last weekend on a desert javelina hunt, I punctured a sidewall by running over a creosote bush. My low tire pressure light came on just 2 miles after I got on pavement. I pulled the branch out, plugged it, and pumped it back up. Made it home on that without changing my tire.

I was really wishing I’d purchased Discount’s Road Hazard Warranty. I took it in to…

Knit lines on door post.

Does anyone know how to get rid of these knit lines with taking a razor and scratch the crap out it. I’d like to keep smooth and as oem looking as possible.

Will a 2021–2024 1.5L EcoBoost engine work in a 2025 Bronco Sport?

Hello everyone,

I bought a 1.5L 3-cylinder EcoBoost engine from a 2021–2024 Bronco Sport, but it has a different wiring and tubing layout compared to my 2025 model. Mechanically, it looks like it could fit, but I’m not sure if the electronics, sensors, and ECU will be compatible.

Has anyone tried swapping a 2021–2024 engine into a 2025 Bronco Sport? Will the ECU accept it, or are there issues with wiring/harness differences?

Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated…

2021 Bronco Sports Starting Up On It’s Own

My Bronco has started up at least three times in the last week in the middle of the night while I am sleeping. I live alone and my key fobs are by themselves on a shelf and my iPhone is shut off. If it wasn’t for my security camera recording the incident I never would have noticed. Has anyone else experienced that problem.? Gas is not cheap.  

Wipers Sit in the Void!

Have any other snow dwellers had their BS wipers encased in ice under the back of the hood? I’m shocked at the size of the void that house the wiper blades. I can’t see a way of raising the blades in the event of a freezing rain or as it was last week, a wet snow that froze over night. I would love to hear some hacks that other BS owners have used to deal with this.

Hello from New Brunswick. I have a 24 BS Big Bend with the Black Diamond package, as well as the convenience package and trailer tow package.
Replaced my 2020 Ranger. Kept the same colour though – Shadow Black. The only thing I wasn’t fussy about were the wheels that came with the offroad Continental tires, so I picked up a set of gloss black rims and will use the factory ones for my winter tires. Doesn’t look half bad!
