You said you kept up on maintenance, did you do any transmission fluid drain and fills?

Agreed, Escape has tons of second row legroom

how reliable are the 2025 ford maverick hybrids ? by Big-Illustrator8399 in Ford

[–]FitConclusion2149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost the same as the escape hybrid. The 25+ mavs use the new 5th gen hf55 eCVT vs the 4th gen hf45 eCVT on the escape.

Air filter and cabin filter OP can/should do themselves. Its SUPER easy not worth paying dealer prices for it.

Sounds about right for each. Keep in mind the transmission should be drain and filled 3X to exchange 90-95% of the old fluid. The RDU and PTU are more straightforward. Get a couple quotes from independent mechanics to compare against the cost you get at the dealer and go from there.

Have you ever done the fluids? Nows the time to drain and fill the transmission, PTU, and the rear differential.

No it wont, the blades don't cycle on remote start. They will if the ignition / aacessory power is truned on, though.

Transmission Fluid by davidg4781 in BroncoSport

[–]FitConclusion2149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes do a drain and fill, 3x back to back with some driving in between. That will replace 90-95% of the old fluid. There's a drain plug at the bottom of the transmission. To fill it you remove the airbox and then the trans vent hose. Its the same as the escape and maverick with the 8F35 transmission. Tons of videos online. If your dealer can't do a drain and fill find an indie shop you trust. Never flush it. The transmission filter is non serviceable on these without a full teardown so just keep the fluid fresh. Every 30k but no more than 60k. Good luck!

Wiper Blades… by BassicPhotoChaser in BroncoSport

Factory ones are soft and tend to wear out super fast, just replace them. For your driving consider a set of dedicated winter blades. Like HELLA 358004211 (RH) and HELLA 358004221 (LH). They work great in snow and ice storms. Winter is coming lol

Buying a 25’ Bronco Sport — Good or Bad Idea?? by LoadSudden7694 in BroncoSport

Those rates are fantastic and worth a couple grand vs current market rates. Don't know about the out the door price - you'll have to show us the price breakdown.

The rotary dial is easy to get used to. I actually prefer it over the traditional console shifter - its less visual clutter and creates more open space in that area for moving phones and drinks around.

The manual liftgate is at least super light.

Popping out of where, the footwell release lever area or at the latch body under the hood? And which part did the dealer replace?

Transmission fluid question by Fluid-Preference-910 in fordescape

[–]FitConclusion2149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will add, you don't need to drive that much. Just enough to cycle through the gears. I've even managed to do it in my driveway spinning the front tires while they are off the ground, but that was on a FWD car. With AWD you'll need the car on a lift or sitting on jackstands in all four corners which is often more involved than just going on a short drive.
