Imagine if they brought back Bias ply tires. ;)

😂😅😂😅 They DID sound and feel like tractors back in the day, so I suppose “heritage=harshness.” 😂😅

Thought it had a straight 6 back then

More trash from Ford. 😂

Lmao imagine Ford actually saying that

YEs I love the Colors!

Black, grey, white is cheaper to insure. If red cars were cheaper to insure I’d buy one.

@@GaryKetchum808if your reason for buying a black car is because it’s cheaper to insure, you’re probably not the target audience 😂

@@GaryKetchum808 There's absolutely no truth to that. The real reason is that neutral colors look more "modern" and are easier to re-sell.

@@patrickwaclaw My guy, the dude you're responding to didn't even give a reason why the neutral colors are cheaper to insure, he just stated that they are. What part of his statement are you referring to when you say "there's absolutely no truth to that"? Because by the second part of your comment "The real reason is that neutral colors look more 'modern' and are easier to re-sell" seems to indicate you're agreeing that the neutral colors are cheaper to insure.

+ markup = 60k 😂

50k for a 190 hp crossover. a honda accord makes more power.

​@@banana82728yea but its a midsize sedan. This is a sub compact off road crossover. It's not really meant to be fast.

@@banana82728 better off in a honda for that type of money

​@Paul yes but it's much nicer and much quicker and wayyyy more fuel efficient

I'm glad that you got yours cheaper and the dealers aren't trying to mark them up or screw people. Yeah I got mine for just a little under MSRP too. They initially wanted 58,000 out the door which is insane even for one with every option and a special edition

@@sock979 The closest ford dealer to me (in WC) had it (in peak blue) and wanted 10k over MSRP..... I drove 12 mikes NE to Dade city's ford dealership and got it for $1000 under MSRP, ,,,no hassles or questions asked! The fair Ford dealer who put the customer's needs first got my business. Imagine that? I Couldn't be happier....

@@jdmoney1000 Yeah we really need a stop paying these markups and just not buy it and make these dealers realize that we're not going to pay them but as long as even just a few people pay it they're going to keep trying.

I got mine for 34K 6,000 miles 39 after warranty’s! One thing I will say for the gas is you have to play with the settings a bit and drive it less pushy. I was able to promote mine to 26 city and 29 freeway! But yes I love my bronco too

Well that's the starting price for the two door manual and smaller engine Heritage Bronco. But still. Point taken. Of course, dealer markup is 33% at least.

Valid use case.

I would stick with the honda theres nothing like it on the road and these fords fall apart huge engine trouble

Elements are so bad ass let me know I’ll buy it

This looks a lot like a Honda Element shape wise lol

Stick with your Honda for a while. The ecoboost is the worst engine Ford makes. But every turbo engine any manufacture makes suck

@@joelboeve8493 I should clarify - we are keeping it until the wheels fall off. Then will fix it and drive some more. Unless she gets into another accident that completely totals it we plan to still hold onto it for awhile. 230K miles and still going. But its good to know what she likes in the event I need to replace it. She was very particular before we found the Element a while ago.

My girlfriend wants a Bronco sport and I’ve been looking to the 2.0 because she solo drives it. Hopefully I can find an affordable one but that’s becoming impossible

For this price, it feels like a real cheap out.

Exactly the 1.6 in the tucsan is wayyy better should've use the 2.0

Nissan inline turbo 3 engine is better than this with more refinement and power despite being paired with a CVT.

Had that 3cyl engine in a loaner Escape instead of my Bullitt and it was painful

1.5 is smaller than a prius engine…

Vibration is due to the 3cyl. Common issue on 3cyl engines that can be easily engineered around, but obviously Ford didn’t bother.

​@@ouch1011 yep, they just do not care. American cars... My GF has a 2022 Yaris 1.5 3cyl, the thing does not vibrate at all...

​@@ouch1011 Ford never bothers... they aren't king of recalls for a reason 😂

@Rdy2go not anywhere near to blowing up, about 40.000 miles on it up to now, 0 oil consumption or coolant consumption, the engine feels like new, still no vibrations at all... Oh and our roads here in Colombia are mostly hills and they are quite bad, so the engine has more stress on it! American cars (almost all of them) are just unreliable. Heck the 2.0 Ecoboost here is regarded as one the worst engines, that thing will blow the turbo at about 60-80k miles. This 3 cyl will be no different. I would only buy an American V8, those are great. Small turbo engines? Give me some Japanese. Medium sized NA? Give me a german 6cyl.

😂

Thank you. I’ll keep mentioning the prowler

@@TheStraightPipes man cmon😭

N0

The distribution has sucked since COVID, most of the big box stores are getting less cases, and your best bet are at the dollar and grocery stores. Of the few $THs I've found, got luckier at the dollar stores too but its so bad to find anything now because of resellers.

That was the four cylinder. No known issues with the 3 cylinder, except fuel injectors, that were recalled. Only time will tell how the oil bathed timing belt will hold up.

The motor and the base are the same as the escape. That's what I was told a week ago.

Literally felt like it needed engine mounts

@@TheStraightPipes Wow, that is crazy. I have to go for a drive in about twenty minutes, and I'm going to pay close attention, and see if I experience the same thing. Again, the chassis may be tuned differently for the Escape vs the Bronco Sport. I'll comment back here, if I observe the same thing.

@@TheStraightPipes Ok, drove the Escape for a two block run--it's usually unladen (nothing in the cargo area)--and felt no vibration driving and no vibration at the three stop lights that I cross. Asked my daughter, who drives it twice a week for college class, if she observed anything similar, and she said no. So either a.) you got a 'bad batch' Bronco Sport that someone put together wrong b.) the chassis tuning/setup between the Escape and the Bronco Sport are vastly different, and given their target audiences, I can see why. But yes--the 2.0L turbo is the better engine, but I got an excellent deal with the 1.5L that I couldn't pass up. But as always, fellas--EXCELLENT CONTENT!

Why did you buy an escape? To escape depression? The escape is not super competitive whatsoever with its more reliable, more refined Japanese counterparts who dominated that space. The escape 2.0 may be worth buying because it's so much faster then its rivals , but the 1.5l? You're just better off with the superior competition with significantly better interiors and resale value. The money you thought you saved with a discount was wasted due to the fact you ended up with a 2020 ford escape 1.5l.. I mean come on. It gets better, consumer reports rated the escape(1.5l model) the least reliable model in its class. good grief

@@roboticvenom1935 Let me de-Venom you, Robotic Venom: 1. Most CUVs have 1.6L base engines in them, and really don't sound that refined (looking at the Tucson, CR-V--haven't checked out a RAV4) 2. I've peeked into a RAV4 (2022), and sat in a 2022 CR-V (a friend's) and NOTHING about those interiors screams "refined". They may have decent infotainment screens, but for me, you couldn't convince me that either interior is better than mine (well, my interior is dirty now, so maybe now they are) 3. The CR-V has a bit more space in the cargo area (again, my friend's CR-V was the example), but not enough to warrant a glowing review, IMHO. 4. Consumer Reports has a problem in which they send out cards to get feedback, and that feedback can range from something small and insignificant (the wiper was squeaking) to something major (the brakes went out). So, I don't use CR as a measuring tool. ON THE OTHER HAND--both the CR-V and the RAV4, for 2020, only had four and five recalls each. The Escape--10. That said, I bought this car during the autopocalypse of 2021, where the CR-V and RAV4 were getting sold at 4-10K premiums over MSRP, and I got my Escape at $8k under. So, I still feel that I more than got out ahead.

That is too funny. I have one (in yellow) and I do call it my "Barbie Camper." I thought of painting it rose-pink ...

@@catherineo8689 please don’t

The 1.5L is very underpowered. Sluggish on the hills, The transmission tends to not want to downshift on the hills.

@@itsjaden697 The engine is not underpowered. The Bronco sport is just an unnecessary heavy car for it. That engine was made for the fiesta ST, not an SUV.

​@@lg.studioSorry I meant the engine is underpowered for this car.

Which engine did your cousin's Bronco Sport have? - Given that they said in the video that they could not "in good faith recommend" the Bronco Sport with this engine?

Should've bought a 2.0

Yea.. Jakob owns a Mercedes AMG E55 wagon

"it seems as fast as the focus ST I traded in" once again another downright delusional ford buyer. walter, do you understand other brands exist besides ford? Do you do serious offroading? Let me answer that, no you do not. The bronco sport is a CUV(it;s not a ford bronco) and has a traditional AWD system, it's 4WD nor is it considered an offroad drivetrain whatsoever. A mazda crossover w/ AWD will do almost as good offroad but won't have a dogshit interior for the price and will have superior reliability, comfort, features, and resale value. Unreal

Have you had any problems with the engine being only 3 cylinders

@@sporkinvestor5787 no. It always runs great and never experienced a lack of power.

Until I saw the price..
