Thanks! Always fun to have comments on the accent. Exciting about the new Bronco Sport and good call on the Badlands! Are you planning on doing any off-road driving with it or just after the extra power?
i just got my bronco sport outer banks i love it so far!! its cactus gray too! the only thing it didn’t come with is the tow package, do you know if there is a way to add that on?
That's awesome Brielea! You can add in the receiver aftermarket.. any Ford dealer can do it and you can have U-Haul do it.. The dealer install is usually nicer IMO
Thanks! It depends on what you find important.. the 2025 models have a new infotainment screen that supports wireless CarPlay and Android Auto along with a new digital cluster screen. It's very similar to the existing Escape. If you don't care about the extra tech you'd probably be able to get a good deal on a '24
@CarsWithSteve, I've probably mentioned this before, but as someone who grew up in Colorado, I have fond memories of the old school Bronco from the 80's, and how it would take a group of us (teenagers at the time) into the mountains for ski trips. I sort of lament how it's shrunk in its current version.
The Sport is a huge deviation from the full size but it was smart on Ford's part to offer something smaller for people who want something more capable than the Escape. Curious, when was the last time you were in a Bronco? Had a chance to take a full size for a spin?
@@CarsWithSteve Wow, good question. I believe it would have been sometime in the 90's since I was last in a Bronco. At the time, I had an Oldsmobile Bravada (Oldsmobile's version of a Chevy Blazer.)
You can order most of it through Ford Front Bash Plate - LX6Z-9A147-B Fuel Tank Plate - LX6Z9A147A Fuel Tank Upper Shield - LX6Z9B007A There are some companies that offer aftermarket ones that'll be a bit more resilient because of thicker metal used
Nope! You can still get Navy Blue in the 2024 and it's rebranded as Platinum Blue in the 2025. You're most likely going to have to do a factory order for the blue though as I find most dealers opt for the brown
If yours has support for it from the factory you'd see the option to enable or disable in the media screen under Settings --> Vehicle Settings --> Windows.. If it doesn't you might be able to enable it using Forscan or by asking your service manager if they can make it happen
It should fit as the full size spare is available depending on your build! If you have the lower profile storage cover (without a lip) it might make the cover sit higher
The Bronco Sport in general has been pretty solid for most owners. There was a recall for a possible fuel injector leak in the 2021-2023 that affected some trim levels but it didn't affect all units sold, seems to have been fixed as the 2024 models aren't subject to that same recall. Really low NHTSA complaints as well compared to the number of units sold Price is going to depend on your overall build but the full details on this one I reviewed is in the description. The 2025 model is getting a refresh.. but if you don't care about the newer tech you'd probably be able to get a good deal on an in stock 2024 model..
Yes, it'll be the same setup in the Big Bend, Heritage, Free Wheeling and Outer Banks. The Bandlands has an advanced AWD system that has a twin rear clutch setup with an AWD lock so it can be driven more like a traditional 4WD car
@@CarsWithSteve I'm sorry, but I never realized if their four-wheel drive is different. I'm interested in the two cars I wrote above. I'm using a translator and I don't quite understand you. Thank you.
We have the 22 bronco sport outer banks in cactus gray and when it got to 22 months old its been nothing but a nightmare nothing but trouble it only has 26k miles on it its been garage kept all maintenance kept up all done by ford and its left my wife and kids stranded 4 times and its been back to the dealership in their shop 3 times people beaware of the recalls and issues i wish we knew what we were getting into but all i can say is good luck folks
wow.. so yours is one of the brutal unicorns that was affected by all 3 recalls. Have you tried reaching out to Ford corporate to try and get them to buy it back?
Get all of your service records in hand, all noted complaints from the service dept and then call up Ford Canada or USA. Talk to customer support and you'll probably need to escalate to supervisors. No guarantee they'll offer to buy it back but if you press them enough and there's a history of issues they tend to try and work things out
Isn't that 1.5 l engine a 3 cylinder?? A THREE CYLINDER??!! To pull a vehicle of that weight! My last motorcycle was a 1.5 l !! No thanks..... not for me.
Yup.. inline 3.. and it's been pretty reliable for most owners I know that have one. Peppy for its size but there's always the 2.0L turbo in the Badlands that I always recommend to people who want more power
@gars1074 your last motorcycle didn't have a turbo and 180hp and 190ft. lbs of torque. The 0-60 is in the 8 seconds range which is standard for this class.
Nice review! I just bought a 2024 Badlands in that color today. You have a nice speaking voice. Canadian accent 👏
Thanks! Always fun to have comments on the accent. Exciting about the new Bronco Sport and good call on the Badlands! Are you planning on doing any off-road driving with it or just after the extra power?
Just subscribed. Watched a few of your other vids and was truly impressed@ Thanks for the review of the Bronco Sport.
Thanks Gar, appreciate the support!
Thx Steve, Great demo video! I have the Big Bend for now….. my upgrade to Badlands next year or the boxy Bronco
You're welcome! Exciting about the upgrade options. What would make you go for the full size over the Badlands instead?

Just a few years ago now ;)
I prefer the blue. Broncos should be blue for me. I love these!
Alto Blue is my fav color in the Bronco with the Cyber Orange being a very close second!
My Twin! I love my Bronco Sport!
Always good to hear when people love it! Have you taken yours off-road yet?
Can you order the underbody protection from the Diamond package separate? It wasn't released yet when I bought my 2023 OB
You can order most of it through Ford
Front Bash Plate - LX6Z-9A147-B
Fuel Tank Plate - LX6Z9A147A
Fuel Tank Upper Shield - LX6Z9B007A
There are some companies that offer aftermarket ones that'll be a bit more resilient because of thicker metal used
i just got one yesterday here in mexico, 180km
Nice! What color is yours?
@@CarsWithSteve Here the color its named, "Plata Polar" its like Polar Silver
Close to our Iconic Silver, looks good!
good video
Thanks!
Do all Outer Banks trims have Brown leather interior? i miss blue and off-whites.
Nope! You can still get Navy Blue in the 2024 and it's rebranded as Platinum Blue in the 2025. You're most likely going to have to do a factory order for the blue though as I find most dealers opt for the brown
Hi Steve: Is it still possible to operate the windows with the key fob on the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport Outer Banks?
If yours has support for it from the factory you'd see the option to enable or disable in the media screen under Settings --> Vehicle Settings --> Windows.. If it doesn't you might be able to enable it using Forscan or by asking your service manager if they can make it happen
Will a full size spare fit inside where the temp is?
It should fit as the full size spare is available depending on your build! If you have the lower profile storage cover (without a lip) it might make the cover sit higher
Any issues about outerbanks ? And ford? How much is this trim?

@ thank you so much for your immediate response. Hoping for the 2025 model of bronco sport outer banks.. i really fell in love with this car and trim.
You're welcome! Good call on hanging off until the 2025 models.. the new infotainment and additional features are great
@@CarsWithSteve yes just now i saw in their website.
Can you tell me on this Bronco is the same all-wheel drive as the Escape?
Yes, it'll be the same setup in the Big Bend, Heritage, Free Wheeling and Outer Banks. The Bandlands has an advanced AWD system that has a twin rear clutch setup with an AWD lock so it can be driven more like a traditional 4WD car
@@CarsWithSteve I'm sorry, but I never realized if their four-wheel drive is different. I'm interested in the two cars I wrote above. I'm using a translator and I don't quite understand you. Thank you.
That's ok! The Badlands trim is the only one that is different. Otherwise, all the other trims are the exact same as the Ford Escape
@@CarsWithSteve Senks
This is absolutely what I needed to know!! Thank you 🙏🏼
Nice ❤❤❤❤

I don't hear that often from owners.. what kinds of issues is the car giving you?
@@CarsWithSteve pcm,high pressure fuel pump,battery
wow.. so yours is one of the brutal unicorns that was affected by all 3 recalls. Have you tried reaching out to Ford corporate to try and get them to buy it back?
@@CarsWithSteve no i have not thought about that how can i look into it if thats possible

You’re awesome
Thanks Brenda 😁
Ford dropped the wiper de-icer on the Outer Banks for 2024. That's a big omission for those of us in Canada
Ohh should have probably pointed that one out. Thanks for mentioning it here!
I relate to that living in Northern Michigan.
The standard engine should be 2 ltr without turbo.
You might get close to the same performance as the 1.5L turbo with a non turbo 2.0L.. but the fuel economy wouldn't be anywhere near as good
Isn't that 1.5 l engine a 3 cylinder?? A THREE CYLINDER??!! To pull a vehicle of that weight! My last motorcycle was a 1.5 l !!
No thanks..... not for me.
Yup.. inline 3.. and it's been pretty reliable for most owners I know that have one. Peppy for its size but there's always the 2.0L turbo in the Badlands that I always recommend to people who want more power

@@andrewb8074 No, of course not!
Yes, it's a small engine. I drove a 1.5 and the 2.0 and I did purchase the Badlands with the 2.0 but I was impressed with the pep of the 1.5 engine.
