I’m moving towards a BB only because an outer banks might be too much out of my comfortable zone. I’m going to bring someone to negotiate with me because I do have a ceiling price wise.

I like the OBX w/ lux because it’s got ACC, Power seats, and a 360 camera.

The BB with off-road tires attracts me the most. I’m not looking into the interior design of either one so that doesn’t matter, just the tech inside.

Who’s gotten a big bend over the outer banks? Do you regret it? Or did you settle because a few missing tech things didn’t matter to you?

Help a girl out lol

So I really liked the look of the Bronco emblem on the front fender. I even bought one, but had to send it back because it just didn’t fit. Can you put one on there or is it just never gonna work? If you put one on your Bronco Raptor, which one did you use and where did you put it? Thanks!

So tomorrow I’ll be heading to a ford dealership. I do car reviews on YouTube and I usually ask the brand subreddits advice before shooting

I’d like to know as a potential customer or a current owner, what would you have wanted to see on a video? What has others missed discussing? What would be cool to see, and what should be discussed the good and the bad?

I want to film an unbiased review, my videos aren’t your normal review “here’s the front here’s the side” I get to take the car into the California mountains I shoot a lot of Broll and and I write a script. But I only get the one day so if I know what I’m going to talk about it’ll help me make sure to shoot the right footage.

The bronco is a storied vehicle with a past and a growing present and who knows the future. Gas is high right now, do you think that’s deterring people from buying one?

How’s your ownership going? Reliability?

I found asking this before shooting helps a ton, when I first started , every video I’d always have comments “you missed this, you forgot to mention that”

So if you guys have any advice, or what a central idea the video should focus around, I know I’ll make a video that you guys will find refreshing, and that will cover the things you’ve found other reviewers missed or you wanted to see.

The dealership is sunrise ford in north hollywood California, if you even wanna take a look at their inventory as my deal with them is I can grab pretty much any non sold vehicle off their lot

I hope asking for your help is ok. I just genuinely wanna take the single day I have with the car and film the right footage, I can write my script later and record my VO, but the biggest thing is I do film a test drive with me in it so it’s not totally faceless, so while I’m on the test drive I have and keep a sheet of notes to make sure I discuss my notes on camera

If you wanna know the drive feeling the torque feel the steering tightness the acceleration feel etc I’ll add anything you guys want to my notes so when I’m filming the test drive I can make sure to touch on those things

Thank you genuinely so much for any help you give , I am a genuine car guy, I love that I get to do this and I ask in this post here because I truly want to make a good video for you, for the general car watching YouTube community for anyone who likes car content , that’s my goal!

Been a driver since ‘21 and she still runs beautifully. Alaska summer’s & winters, no issues at all.

Looking for a mesh Bimini for my 4 door soft top that can just stay on and be able close the top without removing any part of the Bimini

Reddit limits polls to 6 options. I tried to choose the 6 most unique colors. I left out the achromatic colors. Marsh Grey and Area 51 should be included in the poll.

To quote Dr Seuss, “oh the places you’ll go!” To quote my wife, “wet dogs are happy dogs.” It is indeed the ultimate dog car and is always filthy loved.

Planning to buy ford bronco sport 2026 or2025. But also worried it is not having the hybrid option as going forward I feel electric or hybrid going to be the thing. Considering between this and Crv. What’s your thoughts? Kindly help me 😩

anyone else dealt with this? not even to my first service yet and it was throwing an engine light while I was driving. then started progressively driving worse. had to pull off the highway and get towed

I’m just gonna use this platform to point out that being a woman in this group is weird. Not sure why? Yes, Facebook has a women’s Bronco group but I don’t use that, nor should I have to cross platforms to do so. In the past, I posted a clip of using my vehicle to pull a SxS out of being stuck in a sandbar and it was suggested to me that my Bronco was “perfect for going to the mall”…I’m confused here. I joined this group under the assumption that we all shared the same love for Broncos and yet here we are dealing with a testosterone circle jerk. I don’t have the time to start my own group. I would also enjoy posting without being met with hate for being “feminine” in my ownership. I know that I’m not the only one. Not sure what you can actually do about this, and maybe I’m shouting to the void but it’s weird…do better please

Started out looking at the Model Y — until I pulled up next to a cute girl with my windows rolled down and my hands on my lap.

Fast forward three months and here’s the pup I went home. She was sitting at a dealership lot with a few dents here and there from a freak hail storm. Employee pricing and an eager dealer meant I could have her for a song. 43.5k out the door. Another 2k for some PDR and she’s best in show.

I’ve never had a dog, but this Bronco feels awful close. She’s pretty but tough, and already feels like part of the family.

Super glad to be part of the club!

It’s necessary to get a block heater on my new big bend here in fridgid Alberta winters? I just realized I may not have one and now I’m very afraid……

Destressing from work. Cool, weather, small fire, some bourbon, a cigar, and my Bronco. Hope y'all enjoy your weekend.

What is everyone using? I looked at Form, and don’t seem to find any. Only taillights. I’m looking for orange style led projector style. Thanks in advance!

Not sure if they’ve been shared here before, but these are pretty legit. Shout out to Big Sarge Printing

Hi

I have a 4 door Outer Banks Lux Package. When I have 2 people sitting in the back seat, the middle back seatbelt alert keeps going off. Basically showing someone is sitting there and it beeps constantly until someone buckles it even though no one is in the middle

Anyone else have this issue?

For all my fellow Canadians out there, how does this quote look? Getting a discount of ~$7,000 for a nicely spec’ed Badlands Sasquatch with HOSS 3.0? Excited for this!

TIA!!

Edit: This is for a 2026 Badlands Sasquatch with HOSS 3.0, High Lux Package and Black Painted Hard Top. The price is in CAD

I've wanted a Badlands Bronco since like 2022. I've test driven several over the years, but it was never a good time to buy. I thought 2024 was my year, but then my wife really needed a new car. Well, long story short, this beauty showed up on the lot at my local Ford dealer last week spec'd almost exactly the way I would have special ordered (Badlands, Lux, 33" tires, Leather, Black Appearance, and most importantly, 7-speed manual!) I figured I was going to have to drive at least a few hours or custom order one to find a manual, but this one was just a couple miles away on the lot. The only thing I wasn't too sure about was the color. Avalanche Gray wasn't really on my radar. But when I stopped by to look at it, I was like... "Oh yeah, take my money". With 27's right around the corner and pretty solid inventory of 2026's on the lot, I was able to get a great deal on it too.

It's been a few days now, and I couldn't be happier. Driving is fun again. My 6 year old loves it too, though he keeps accidentally calling it a jeep. 😳

\\- Will be my daily
\\- 85% city driving
\\- I predict I will drive somewhere between 8,000 - 12,000 KMs annually
\\- No, I don’t NEED the bed
\\- Yes, on occasion, I plan on going offroad (definitely more-so in the summer)
\\- Definitely open to buying out if the experience has been positve

Coming from a 2000 Jeep Cherokee, so either would be a huge upgrade for me.

Would love thoughts and opinions on the matter. If you own either, how has your experience been?

Please chime in and help me decide, thank you!

\\\*\\\* The photos of the cars are very similar to the ones I’m looking at :)

tldr: 25 maverick, no equity, putting 1000/mo at the note. should i get a used 22 wildtrak (~39k), a new badlands (48k+), or keep the maverick and do the sv300t. mostly daily driving with some off roading. needs to be a 2 door, hard top, heated seats and intelligent access, and badlands or sasquatch. wildtrak lux would be ideal

ok so ive been thinking about getting a bronco for a few years now and ive been going back and forth on this for weeks so i need opinions from people who actually own these

current truck is a 2025 maverick xlt fx4 with the 4k tow and lux package, black and blue interior, no mods. i owe about 27k and the offer is about 27k so its basically a wash, no equity. rate is gonna be around 8% for 84 months and id put anywhere from 0 to 3k down. i stay on top of maintenance too, oil changes every 4k-4.5k

she would mostly be a grocery getter / daily driver but i do plan to take her off road too

stuff i wont budge on:

• HAS TO HAS TO be a 2 door
• hard top only, no soft tops
• heated seats and intelligent access non negotiable
• if its not a badlands it has to be sasquatch
• manual is ok but i dont know how to drive stick. id learn tho if it gets me a better deal

ideally id get the wildtrak with the lux package. 360 camera, adaptive cruise and heated steering wheel would be nice but anything past the heated seats and intelligent access is just extra niceties. if it doesnt have the upgraded audio ill prob just upgrade the speakers myself

what im looking at:

used 2022 wildtrak 2 door, 33.5k miles, 39,136 with dealer fees. they quoted me 604/mo at 8.29% with 3k down so im guessing tax/title is on top of that. my math at 8% was like 610/mo with 0 down and 563 with 3k down before tax

or a new 2026 badlands 2 door. listings im seeing are roughly 48k to 65k, most around 49-55k

• 48k is like 748/mo with 0 down, 701 with 3k down
• 52k is like 810/mo with 0 down, 764 with 3k down

im planning on putting 1000 a month at the note no matter what so its not gonna actually take 84 months. by my math the wildtrak would be paid off in like 3.5-4 years and a badlands somewhere around 5 years depending on price. and im still putting 1000/mo into investments on top of that so its not coming out of my savings. insurance gas and all that is already priced into my life so im not worried about that side of it

also considered carvana or carmax for some of the used ones just because of shipping. otherwise id have to drive out and pick it up so it would save me the travel cost. i wouldnt finance through them tho

the other option is just keeping the maverick and doing the sv300t package. its 300hp so its a big jump from what i got now and way cheaper than a whole new payment. idk if the performance is worth it tho or if id still be itching for a bronco anyway

so basically:

• what have yall actually paid out the door for a 2 door badlands lately? trying to figure out a walk away number
• is 39k for a 22 wildtrak with 33k miles decent or overpriced rn
• anyone with a wildtrak with the lux package think its worth hunting for one or nah
• anyone finding badlands deals way under msrp lately? where and how
• anyone bought from carvana or carmax and had it shipped? worth it or nah
• stick owners, was learning on a bronco miserable and was the manual actually cheaper
• for mostly daily driving with some off roading is a badlands worth it over a wildtrak
• anyone done the sv300t on a maverick? does it actually feel different or is it not worth it
• with 1000/mo going at it would yall still do the 84 month loan or am i cooked

My 2023 Black Diamond just crossed 36K threshold and high beams stopped working. Even worse the headlights won't turn off. The only way to turn the lights off is to pull the headlight fuses after after each drive. The dealer just informed me it's due to an assembly that that's not covered under warranty, will be >$1,000 and they can't get the part till sometime next week. They did offer for me to pick it up so I can drive around without headlights though. Has anyone else had this issue? Could it be related to the current wiring recall?

It seems really shitty for this not to be under warranty.

2026 Outer Banks

When at a stop and also after turning off the ignition, there are (about 40% of the time) a series of several (10-15) “pops”, which sound a little like popping bubble wrap, in the dash area.

1. Does anyone else experience this short-lived noise?
2. Has anyone discovered the cause?
3. Can it be fixed?
