My wife really wanted the sport and launch when we RSVP our Gen 6. We even had a order for one, but delays and initial feedback was not very encouraging, so we bought a Edge ST instead.

But we have been considering selling the EDGE and getting a sport, mainly because of the true-er offroad ability and true 4x4 (instead of AWD).

For those that have a few years in their sport, whats the satisfaction now? Still happy with it? We are not wanting to compare it to the Gen6, just for its capability and design, whats your thoughts?

I haven't had any issues so far with my Sport. I like the handling and the AWD system. I don't have the Badlands, but it's very capable.

I traded in my Edge for the '23 Outer Banks. No regrets - I haven't had a bit of trouble.

I have had my Bronco Sport Badlands just over two years. Passed 60k this week. Still loving it! We are currently on an extended trip to the southwest. Hit 7,200 miles on the trip so far, most of that towing a small travel trailer. We go off road every chance we get, and there is a lot of it here. It does Amazing off road. Traction is unbelievable. I stick to easy/moderate trails because of limited ground clearance, not for lack of traction. Having the ability to lock the front to back and rear differential really work well.

Had a 22 big bend, 20K miles no issues. 3 cyl had lots of pep great vehicle. Just purchased 24 Badlands and like it much better due to 4 cyl @ 250HP. and drive sys. It's just a different experience in the positive with no regrets. Nothing against the Big Bend which was a great vehicle but the Badlands performance is on a different level. Hope this helps! Good Luck

I have a 24 outerbanks I enjoy it. I miss my full size. Kinda wish it had the 4 cylinder not the 3. At times it feels to sluggish getting up to highway speeds.

I picked up a 22 Badlands a month or so ago, had good history, nothing out of line in the Carfax....drove 200 miles to get it as well due to the condition (and price). So far, so good, seems like a solid vehicle with 28k miles on it right now, fun to drive with the 2.0, very fast! Need to go offroading somewhere, doesn't look like it's been there yet!, joined this group to find some trails ...... fingers crossed but still under warranty so not really worried!

Have a 22 Big Bend with under 36,000 miles. To date the battery has been replaced. The tires had to be replaced at 30,000 miles. It's gone through three windshields. I've had the vehicle turn off on me and then not back on. I've had the dash readings go wonky. I love my Bronco Sport, but I'm really disappointed with the quality - there seems to be always something going on with it .Anybody else have these kind of issues?

Let me preference this by saying I traded in my 2001 SuperCrew F150 that I had for about 18 years to a 21 new Shadow Black BigBend Sport, had it for 2 Lovely years when I was at the Dealership for a recall, so I went for a walk thru the parking lot when I happen upon a Velocity Blue Metallic 23 Sport OuterBanks. ( Blue my Favorite Color ) I fell hard for it so that afternoon I traded in my 21 for the 23. Now a year later in 24 I’m at the same Dealership to pick up my Ford Bugguard for my 23, so I had to wait for it they couldn’t find it at first, so here I go again walking thru the parking lot and come up upon a 24 Full Size Bronco BigBend with the Sasquatch Package on her, so I walk back inside to talk to the sales Manager and the next thing I know I’m signing papers for the New 24 full size Bronco in you guessed it Velocity Blue Metallic one. Now mind you I had 3 Wonderfull years with the 2 Sports no problems whatsoever. I just couldn’t get over being a little cramped in the Sports so I had to go back to full size. Steve

GOOD MORNING BOSTONBADLANDS we have a lot in common I traded a 2023 RANGER, that I liked a lot but like you wanted something larger. AND traded the RAONGER for a 2024 F-150 SUPER CREW, the wife and I stopped by my dealer last AUG. and got to looking at the Broncos, and traded my F-150 witch only had 1.800 miles on it, for a 2024 BRONCO sport big bend in CHILE PEPPER RED. I like it so far but have to say it is a little small, great gas milage, but still on the small side. I need to stay away from my dealer LOL, I have them pick my cars up now for oil changes LOL, and that way I stay off the car lot.

I have the 2024 big bend sport and it sems to behave the same way as your in low speeds, but it is pretty peppy, and I like the gas milage.
