2021 Bronco Sport : Surging at low RPM

We can speculate for the next year, or you can run the codes...

But it isn't like we are the ones paying for parts cannon ammunition...

Im not paying g for parts either. If my factory warranty and/or the extended power train warranty won't cover the repairs, It will get traded

For anybody who cares, a small update on my situation. I had my Bronco Sport at the dealership on Monday. A day later, they told me my transmission has failed and needs full replacement. They have no idea how long it will take to get the new trans in and swapped out. They did loan me a sick ass Bronco Outer Banks for my trip to North Carolina this weekend.

This weekend I put over 1,000 miles on the Bronco. ( Road trip to NC ) Besides being larger, it handles about the same as the Baby Bronco. With one extra cylinder and almost twice the HP, the Big Bronco carried itself well and accelerated perfectly. As much as I liked driving it, it didn't scream to me that I needed one. I've yet to sit in, ride in, or Drive a 2019+ Ranger, I have been looking at them. ( I know the '24 MY is a refresh, but Rangers are rare as hen's teeth, for some reason.) The Maverick is still on the table, they're way more accessible that the Rangers are. That being said, I still want to test drive a Nissan Frontier AND a Ranger to see who will be getting the Trade in Bronco Sport.

Ranger is quite a bit cheaper than a Bronco and for you is available in 2wd to save few more pennies.

"Available" doesn't really translate into "Accessible", meaning Ford makes them but the dealership doesn't really stock them. My dealership had ; one fully loaded FX4 & one Raptor Ranger. A dealership in Havana ( Small town north of Tallahassee ) had a "Base 2wd" 2025 Ranger ( XL STX ), but it sold before I could get over to look at it. I'm still not a fan of how high a regular 2wd model truck sits, on any brand, so there's that. I'm not in a real crunch or anything, so I will be looking for a while before any decisions are made, and I'll look into lowering anything I get to a respectable level of usage. I don't want a helper step to put stuff into a regular ass truck. I'm kinda hoping the compact pick-up market has more fruit to bare in a couple of years.

Just order one, I bet they can find you a lowering kit you can roll in on your loan as well...

IIRC, somebody here did that. Looked pretty good IMO. That idea has never left my head.
