1.5 L TEARDOWN
We’ve been bucked!
It’s the little things that brighten your day…
My husband came out of an establishment this morning to find our 2021 Big Bend bucked for the very first time!
It’s the little things that brighten your day…
OBSERVATIONS
Here are my observations comparing the 2021 vs the 2025.
The ride quality is improved.
It seems that the interior noise is quieter, though this may because of the Continental tires vs the Wildpeaks on the 2021.
It looks to me that the rear of the 2025 sits up a little higher than the 2021.
The new 2.0L MPC engine has a higher cold idle.
The 12.3 inch screen is an improvement…
As I posted a couple of weeks ago, I traded my 2021 BL in for a Gold Certified 2025 BL with 5.8k miles.

Front collision assist issue
Hello, I was wondering if anyone else has had issues with there front collision assist? I have a 2025 bronco sport big bend with 20,000kms on it. Recently every time I start it now i get the annoying beeping saying that it is not available. I know for sure there is nothing blocking the front camera and i know there is a radar up front somewhere but I’m not exactly sure where. From what I can see though the front of the vehicle is not dirty so i don’t think anything is blocking it.

Im leaving
I have enjoyed and benefitted from this site but unfortunately since my service dog has passed and I now have my new one I have sold my baby bronco and gone back to a full-size bronco.
I’m just too concerned with the transmission to keep it much longer and I missed a manual transmission too much. I got a Bronco badlands with a manual transmission (2022) i couldn’t afford a new base sasquatch manual which by the way is now $15,000 more than it was…

Spare Tire Foam Tray uses.
Most of the tools carried are just randomly placed. The one exception was by cutting out a small piece of foam I could fit a 30 inch breaker…
I’m wondering if/how everyone is using the spare tire foam insert tray and it seemingly randomly shaped impressions. I’m not sure if engineers had an actual item in mind for each shape or just added the shapes randomly. Either way it gives each owner the chance to personalize with the different shapes.

2022 Badlands slipping/ shutter.
I am currently in the middle of a 2,500 mile road trip and have developed an unusual noise. It initial felt like first gear was slipping on take off from a dead start. It would not do it all the time,but now it’s doing more. I had a friend listen outside and he said it seems like its coming from the rear. At speed there is no noise straight and turning. Transmission shifts normally.When I press the 4wd lock button and accelerate the noise goes away. Any ideas?
