Bought mine late January. Have about 5,000 miles on it now. Have had no problems with it yet. Was great in snow. Is very maneuverable with great visibility. Not quite as comfortable as the Taurus I traded in for it, but not bad. In normal mode it doesn’t deactivate a cylinder and I have never used eco mode. Acceleration on highway ramp is surprisingly effortless and I was pleasantly surprised when stomping on the gas to pass on a two lane country road. I have hauled a new power washer in a large box in back easily and 14 bags of mulch with plenty of room for more (with seats folded down.) only time I have noticed vibration is cruising at 40 mph almost like it is lugging a little. But seems after the miles I have driven it’s less noticeable. I didn’t buy it to off-road. I simply liked the retro styling, the size and my Big Bend edition was fairly inexpensive. No regrets here!

But with a bad back, I find sitting up higher as if I’m in a chair (90 deg at hips and knees) puts less stress on my back and pinched sciatic nerve. I plan to take good care or my BS BB, regular maintenance and not driving over 85 mph, not accelerating too fast, etc. I’m praying this vehicle doesn’t drop its transmission at 80 k miles like my 2008 4 cylinder Mercury Mariner did. So far with about 100 miles on the suv, I’m please with it. They did a good job designing it imo.

Darn it! I wanted the Bronco! I guess Im buying a Highlander again 😔 The put off for me are stamped steel under chassis, nylock nuts, non-usefully mud gaurds and worst of all Trans ecu in wrong place! There is too much salt and snow where I live. The multi-link suspension is actually good for the tarmac driving. At least all the cheap hoses are on top easy access.

@Niko-iv4ch3 жыл бұрын
I have a ‘17 escape with the same 2.0 litre. Not the 2020 Escape platform that the Bronco Sport is based on. I have passed 180000 kms. The suspension needed changing. F-ing German style. And I’ve noticed many of these escapes to have deeply grooved front rotors. The biggest flaw is the PTU. The 75W140 gear oil cooks being next to so many hot stuff like catalytic converter. I don’t fool around anymore, and use AMSoil in the PTU. Mobil 1 seems to do a good job as well. The engine oil stinks of gasoline. Don’t know if this specific to my engine, or an issue with the twin scroll 2.0 eco boost in general. Really like the car. Got it for Complete view of the road ahead. Big windshield and Ford has a thin A Pillar, making it easier to spot dear crossing the road.
@SI0AX3 жыл бұрын
@@Niko-iv4ch The engine oil stinking of gasoline is actually called "fuel shear". It's when gasoline gets past the oil control rings and ends up in the engine oil. It causes premature wear of the engine oil and the oil must be changed sooner than specified. It's common in old Mazda engines and modern Ford engines(because Mazda had a deal with Ford and now the deal is off and Ford gets to keep the Mazda engine design forcing Mazda to make a new engine design).
