My current car has a 4 cylinder and a 6 speed transmission. Toyota Camry rules. My next car will have 0 cylinders and a 1 speed transmission.

My wife got one two years ago, and we've taken it cross-country a couple times, through weather, and over (mild) off-road to some out-of-the-way campsites. The only issue we had with it was dealing with crappy salesmen to buy it! Definitely more of a "I like to FEEL like I'm outdoorsy while I drive to work" than a serious off-road vehicle, but where it won't take us to our feet will, and that's all we really wanted.

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!

I am concerned about the amount of soot coming out of this 3 cylinder engine on the Bronco Sport in this video. And I am concerned about the Timing Belt. (Although the poster of this video said Timing Chain, which I think he may wrong.) Like the Dual Injection, but don't care for cylinder dectivation. Some DIY maintenance concerns, like the German style design on the front suspension piss me off. I do like the 2.0 Litre Twin Scroll Engine, which is a mature engine, first used on 2015 Edge. It has worked out the bugs regarding Coolant. I have this engine on my 2017 escape. The 2.0 Litre will hold value because this vehicle will have a neiche appeal as it ages, as it has a boxy pre 2013 Ford Escape look with the modern tech and Says "Bronco" with original Font used on the original Broncos. If the 1.5 engines lasts with the timing belt, than it will hold value as well. I was hoping the poster did a review on the Badlands, as it has different 4WD system altogether.

Would love another video like this on the badlands. I took mine to some fairly deep mud, it handled it with ease though I couldn't believe it had thos furry spash guards when I had to wash it.

Torque heads should be illigal close to anything that'll be dirty, rusty and/or oily with years of use. I have owned one Audi and never again! What a pain in the ass that was! :D Love these videos!

Thankyou for always being so critical where needed on these vehicles.

What if you got the upgraded powertrain to the 2.0 4 cylinder engine? Would that fix a lot of the main issues you're having with this vehicle?

I'd love to review the maverick. Although I know alot of it is similar to this.

Hey. At 7:54 you mention that the knuckle is steel so you get pressed-in bearings. Do the bolt-on bearings only work on non-steel knuckles? I like bolt-on better because easier to change out

FYI that’s not a mass airflow sensor, it’s a intake air temperature sensor.

Love it! Please do Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk!

You had me convinced once you said "3 cylinder turbo". Oh god, that's a motor just screaming for a quick right off if I ever heard one.

Can't wait until you get one of those hybrid mavericks!

Not bad but really emphasizes that you need the bigger bronco I have an escape with the 4 cylinder ecoboost I just dont trust 3 cylinder cars in anything bigger than a chevy spark or fiesta

How has the escape held up?

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.

@@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).

Brought back traditional fuel inject, brought back the metal valve cover, swapped the rubber for a metal timing chain, stamped steel for the oil pan, seems like they improved open the EcoBoost in general. Def not a fan of the cylinder deactivation for a 3-cylinder engine (!) idk who had that bright idea. The amount of stamped steel in the suspension really raises an eyebrow, probably more comfortable on pavement than anythings else. These really remind me of the first-gen Escape, which had boxy styling and lots of room, with really just minor 4WD and gravel capabilities.

Fantastic review as most just compare performance on and off road, but don't breakdown what's under the hood or underneath the car like you have done. All I thought about was a car outside of it's warranty and the labor hours just to get to some of these parts to fix, $$$$$. My question is...have any of these concerns like the non-anchored fuel line been addressed in the 2022 model? Any big differences with 2.0L/4cycl. in terms of engine rattle, etc. Appreciate you.

Great video!! Does anyone one have an opinion on whether an aftermarket oil separator is recommended or if its needed on the 1.5l?

Can you do a video on the old Tahoes with cylinder deactivation? I wanna buy one but I hear they have problems.

This Bronco sport is a Ford Escape. The engine compartment is the same. 10:16

The full bronco is a ford ranger with a wagon body. Frame is exactly the same.

U get what u paid for🤷‍♂️......I was just waiting till end for that signature brush toss🤣🤣

Nearly 40k on our 2021 Big Bend and it's decent for the pavement princess we use it for. Cheap plastic interior that scratches at the slightest little scrape, the markings on ALL the steering wheel buttons are wearing off, water pump replaced at 14k, now there's a recall on the fuel injectors. Wouldn't by another one. My work car is a 2006 Kia Sportage V6 140k and solid as a rock. I can't imagine what this Bronco Sport will be like at 140k IF it makes it.

How long until we have a 2 cylinder Ford expedition?

Great stuff. The description has 4 cylinder but you mention 3 cylinders. Are we describing a different engine? Keep up the good work.

My friends truck (F250)has one of those high pressure fuel pumps. It decided to self destruct one day, sending pieces of metal throughout the system. Going to cost 8 grand to fix and it's been waiting for a month just for the parts.

All direct injection engines have high pressure fuel pumps. They have a low pressure unit to bring the fuel up to the engine and a high pressure pump to shoot the gas into the cylinders.

Is it a production version of the car? Or still pre-production model?

That engine wont last 100k with cylinder deactivation.

@@andromeda9340 unless you have a lifetime powertrain warranty that covers it. It will be fine! People act like Ford is the only company using smaller or plastic parts. I guess the engineers should have come to some youtube page for advice on building cars. Like they just cooked up a design overnight.
