What gives? Bad battery leads to new discovery
2023 OuterBanks 1.5L. Has 38K miles. Just got home from a 520 mile roadtrip. 2 days later, deader than a doornail. Jumped it and started right up. Hooked up my scan tool and was at 11.59 volts. Decided to pull the battery for replacement and was surprised to see a Enhanced Flooded Battery. I was under the impression it would be an AGM due to the auto stop start.

• Engine luggs at 1200 or less RPM (Normal drive mode) when driving through parking lots or at low speed in town. I have to drive in Sport mode in town to prevent…

Has anyone found a front bull guard/ nudge bar, or modified the bumper to install one? Have a 2025 sport big bend, it has a steel plate with nowhere to mount it.

2023 BS outer banks tow hooks??
In trying to get her unstuck, I realized there are no attachment points for a strap like there are on the Badlands model.

FYI: 25+ 2.0L new engine, different oil filter
This may be old news but I hadn’t seen it mentioned anywhere and I nearly bought…
The 2025 Bronco Sport Badlands features an updated 2.0L EcoBoost engine, transitioning from the previous series EcoBoost to new Modular Power Cylinder (MPC) Ecoboost specifications for improved performance. So not surprisignly it uses a different oil filter than the previous 2.0L EcoBoost engine. the MPC engine uses Ford part number FL-2127 filters, NOT the 2.0L FL-910S filter from the EcoBoost 2.0L
