Hello! I have a new Heritage Sport that did not come with a spare tire. Has anybody bought a spare tire from somebody other than Ford? I realize it probably won’t have the white rim, but I just don’t know if someplace else would be a lot cheaper, but still give me peace of mind. I drive a 650 mile round trip back-and-forth to my parents house once or twice a month, and part of the roads are country roads in the middle of nowhere. I don’t want to get stranded over something as stupid as not having a spare tire! Vehicle pick up picture for tax! I love this darn thing!

After a month it finally came!! So excited to experience life with this beast!! Any fun or useful accessories I should look at? TIA 🧿🙏🏼

I have a 2022 BS OB with 32k on it. Only major issue it had was a RDU that has gone out at 32k. I started to look at the 2025-26 Badlands and my question is are they alot better on reliability??

I know the 2022 3cyl are bad but is the 2025-26 4cyl and transmission better?

2025 Bronco Sport Badlands, fully loaded w only 3k miles! Traded in my 2018 Jeep Wrangler JL. Time to start buying aftermarket accessories! 🤪

Also, huge shout-out to this subreddit for all the advice and reviews. Definitely made this an easier experience!

Drives me crazy that Ford didn’t include a spare with my new Bronco Sport Big Bend.
Wife got a nail in tire and turned into a bigger issue than it needed to.
No spare tire equals no way to fix when off road.
Anyway, I went to Discount Tire today and bought a rim and a full size tire. About a $200 investment in case it is needed.
Glad we did it. Check out your Bronco. Some trims don’t have spares. If they don’t have one then think about doing this.

2021 Bronco Sport OB, 62k miles

Been receiving the charging system alert on and off (dismisses itself constantly) for about 2-3 weeks. Now somethings affecting the radio; volume being adjusted without touching it, screen displaying the “system off to save battery” and completely turning off mid-drive.

I have to replace my tire pressure monitors too. One died, I got it fixed and didn’t feel like dropping the additional dealer fees to fix them at the time.

Is the dealer just going to screw me bringing them these issues? Thoughts? Advice?

New shoes for this '24 Big Bend. Love the look, the price and the reviews. So far they feel amazing. Supposedly they hold up well and are quiet on the highway. Looking forward to some off road tests.

After purchasing and installing mudflats on my Sport, I tore the left rear one loss while backing up. Most of the tabs on that side are sheared off and the wiring for some of the lights are pulled out. I have everything shoved in there until I can figure out a way to fix it permanently. That’s my question, after needlessly long explanation that I can never seem to get away from, is there a good fix for this type of damage? I’m thinking Lbrackets, but I’m open to suggestions that don’t require spending $900 on a new part.

Thanks!

I looked about a bit and found some Matchbox cars but wonder if anyone else has found model kits of the Bronco Sport? Id like to make one that matches mine.

So I’m new into Ford Bronco and I’m considering into getting the 21 big Bend model and I just would love to know the pros and cons of who on here owns the 2021 model and if there’s anything I should know about it before jumping into it.

So i used a heated pressure washer to get some bugs off my grille and i got to close and it blew the paint right off. Obviously my first step is to see now much this would cost to just get it painted. But im wondering if theres anything i can get to just cover that area. maybe an adhesive rubber strip
Or plastic or anything thats a budget friendly way. Any tips or advice?

I’ve asked about this before but after I asked my bronco started acting better until today.. I was driving on the highway and my rpm’s were stuck at 2 and I noticed my car started heating up a little. Even letting off the gas didn’t automatically cause its to slow down any. This happened a few times on my drive and after a few minutes its like it would finally shift and my temp would go back to normal.
Any advice— think about trading in but I still owe 22,000 and have 71,000 miles on it.

Anyone have luck getting ford to cover a rim on the 3 year 36,000 mile warranty? I have one rim that has the paint peeling off at every spoke pretty uniformly. I definitely didn’t curb it as there is no other damage to the rim other than the paint peeling on the spokes, some spokes have more coming off than others.

Will ford cover this?

Wanted one from the first I heard they were going to reintroduce the name plate. Can't afford the full size OB, thinking about the sport. How does it feel inside compared to the first gen if anyone knows?

I bought a 2025 Bronco Sport in May and did not add on the extended warranty package. I regret it now, and think I need to find a way to add it on. What would be the best way to approach this? This is the first car I have bought solely by myself and I am out of my comfort zone. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Hi! Considering buying a 2022 outer banks with 30k miles for 25k. Moving to Colorado for a bit and wondering if this would be a good car to occasionally drive through the mountains in and fare the cold weather. Anything I should know??!

Tyyyy

I have totalled my 2024 outer banks. I’m so sad to see it go. I no longer have any business continuing to be in this subreddit🥲 I didn’t know damage that looked pretty minor would lead to being totalled :( rip

Drive safe out there everyone

Looking for some recommendations for running boards for a 25 Bronco sport badlands. I’m really looking for easy install and not hanging down too low. I know most say easy installation and no drilling, but there’s always that one review where someone has to cut and grind and all that….

2023 Badlands w/ premium package. Flew out on a Cessna Caravan to pick her up + drove her back home, camping along the way. Only thing I don’t like is how much I’m spending to add more to her!

I need a new car. Was considering a brand new hybrid suv but they're so boring.. I'm strongly considering buying a used bronco sport instead, at least for now.

I know there may be issues and can see that in several posts. My past Fords had them, but were also my favorite cars to drive. If they're minor, that's ok. Major or frequent is not ok.

Wondering what you experienced folks would say is the best edition, trim and recent year for mostly on-road driving? Info on best packages and features to seek or avoid also valuable.

Thanks in advance!

Do you all have product recommendations for a new owner? Phone mount? Good screen protector? Console or glove box organizer? What else?

Les Schwab pointed out that my shocks were all leaking. It appears that they are not a warranty item. Ford dealer didn’t notice when doing the 40k service last week. Great.
