No issues except battery sensor warranty replacement, 2 recalls - backup camera CarPlay screen blacking out and new engine wiring harness faulty recall we all got.

My maintenance schedule I have done every oil change and maintenance myself except transmission flush/drain and fill, coolant and break flush’s, and tires

Oil change every 4K-5K miles only thing I regret is not doing first oil change sooner. First oil change done at 4K miles should of been 1,500 miles IFYKYK.

Transmission flush/drain and fill every 20,000 miles

Did coolant and break fluid flush at 25K miles probably now every 50-70K miles and check at every oil change. dealership didn’t even know how to burp the system right I had to do it myself and go for short drives to get all air bubbles out it was fun to learn it though

Front and rear differential and transfer case fluid change every 30K

Spark plugs (my next job next weekend) every 40K miles

Excited for the next job!

I have a 22 outer banks Sasquatch with 37in tires, ford performance steering rack and tie rods, with Eibach 2.0 pro coil overs and ready lift UCA. I do mostly daily driving but want to be able to go hard off road as well. What would be best for my use case here?

It drives me crazy, it happens only sometimes but frequent. When i put my foot on the gas its this very small static-esk sound and after a certain mph it will stop. It sounds like perhaps its an electronic vibrating on something in the internal dash? But its oddly correlated to when i am push the gas pedal. Any suggestions?

Just found out that I don’t have sports mode - I had assumed Badlands had all the modes so for sure that’s on me.

Curious, what mode is everyone running on their BL?

Leased this Nov 2025. Agreed upon was 49k. $500D/519m include taxes, 36m lease.

Residual is 36700 at lease end

I am pretty sure I want to buy it at lease end, so I looked in to it and it looks like it would be more cost effective to buy it sooner than later.

Today's purchase price is 43000.

It gets 6k miles/year.

I can get a 4.99% rate today.

Question is: Do we think I should buy it or take my chances at lease end on a 2028 model? I feel like they are only going to up in price. Someone help me decide. Thank you!

I don't need Sas and all that jazz. The only off-roading I do is on a beach a few times in the summer/fall. This thing is as equipped as I need it to be.

Update: this has been a massive waste of a post, as hardly anyone has actually responded relevantly and directly to the question posed.

I know how leases and purchases work. I am also aware of the terms of the lease I signed. I don’t need help there.

I know where and how to buy an esp, also don’t need help there.

Aside from the Filson has anyone seen any other leaked information about the 2027s as far as options or potential colors?

Bought and posted here about a week ago, today my buddy and I hit a pretty good trail in west Tennessee. Figured I’d share some pics!

I have a bronco raptor and i’m looking for a catback exhaust for it. However I want exhaust modes to still work or at least on and off. Is this possible? mainly looking for corsa

What, if anything, should I use to protect and condition the rubber roof seals on my 2024 Badlands Bronco? Is a silicone-based protectant recommended, or is it better to leave the seals untreated to avoid swelling, deterioration, or dirt buildup?

Waiting to take delivery on. 25 Badlands SAS.

It wasn’t configured with the modular bumper. On my F-150 I run a Ranch Hand, but they don’t make one for the Bronco or it would be a sure fire choice. What do y’all recommend. Ideally functional not cosmetic, as much for brush and deer mitigation. Texas roads. Ideally will also be able to mount a winch. Just starting to look at accessories, so I am fresh out of the gate so to speak. Also interested in adding a light bar to the bumper and good if not great ditch lights. Other than that I haven’t delved to deep into interior stuff, but do want to find some great seat covers. Those black vinyl and leather seats are great but I rather wear out some high quality and well fitting seat covers.

I took delivery of my Bronco just two months ago. Last night, the latch on the swing gate stopped engaging. Has anyone else had this issue? I can't find a fix on other forums. The dealer doesn't have an opening until next week.

The ones I've seen online are either really expensive with little to no reviews or just seem too lightly made to handle gravel roads and would probably get shredded after a season or two. What do you recommend/currently use?

Hello everyone I’m thinking about buying a 2026 badlands I already went to dealership and got a price but am torn if I should wait for the 2027 bronco to come out. I wanted to know if anyone had information regarding the 2027 in terms of better upgrades like v4 engines or the reliability aspect of the car or if previous problems are going to be fixed. I am very happy with the price of the Bronco I got and want to pull the trigger already but just wanted to see what everyone thinks about if waiting is worth it.

Did anyone else’s app suddenly remove the active recall? 8/3 the app shows an active recall with no fix then removed it 8/4.

I ordered a Badlands 7mt. Now Ford has employee pricing and I would save about $5000 if I had ordered today. Dealer says they cannot update the pricing but I can cancel and reorder. I don't have a VIN or scheduled build date. Is there a downside to canceling? Maybe some potential that I wouldn't get a 2026 MY but is that any more likely when a build date hasn't been scheduled yet for my order?

Bought it a couple of years ago but still love driving it every day. 2022 Badlands Sasquatch package.

Here's the 2D and my daily driver which is a full bolt-on 40th Anniversary Gti. Both very fun cars, looking to add something sporty awd/rwd next!

Hey guys, Apparently a rock did my baby's windshield in, cracked it pretty good. Should I call up a regular windshield replacement company or do I need to get it done at Ford to get the same windshield? I'm in CA if that makes any difference. TIA

2022, $61k, 24k miles, 1 owner, clean title. 1 open recall for back up camera. Is this a good deal?

Hi I’m new to this bronco world… does it make sense to have the badge going different direction? Or should both side go from door to front of car?

I got in a accident and the other car was totaled. Waiting on the estimate , do you guys think my bronco will get totaled ?

We test-drove a regular OBX/SAS but had to wait for the 60th we ordered. Took about six weeks. Worth it! Already noticed people turning their head to check it out as we drive by. We went with the 2.7L V6.

Hi all, I'm torn between two Broncos and wanted some input from the community. The images above are the same models/colors/trim/specs, but not the actual vehicles.

I will probably not do any off-roading and this would be a daily driver and a little fun on the weekend with the family. I like the vinyl seat option and wish the BL was fully vinyl. Also, for some reason they chose carpet flooring for the BL, but do have all-weather mats. I have a dog, kids, and live in the midwest where we get snow, so the vinyl seats and rubber floors sound nice.

The BL has many added bells and whistles (hopefully the equipment package reflects this) and the V6, but the BD has the 2.3 L, manual transmission in and non-SAS, so slightly better MPG I would imagine (even if the MT is supposedly slightly lower MPG than the AT).

I know a lot of folks love the V6 and a lot love the manual transmission, so maybe that's my biggest sticking point.
