Ford screwed up big time!

Ordered a 2022 Bronco Sport Badlands with every option. Damn thing came in after 7 months and low and behold, no power lift gate, and not even a option for one. After owning 3 Escapes, 3-Explorers and 6 Expeditions all with the power lift gate, I just can’t believe Ford **** all over their selves on this little Bronco. If they offer it in 23 I’ll have to trade the damn thing in on one just to get what should be standard equipment. Other then that I love the god damn power liftgate missing piece of crap. Does the big bronco offer a power lift gate, I can’t say I’ve looked?

No the Big Bronco doesn't have one, since it has a side-hinge gate. Ford isn't the only one with the parts shortage. Hopefully you like your Sport otherwise than that though!

While it's a nice feature, it's not any kind of deal breaker for us.

I do love the 5" rear wiper...secret is, "park" the vehicle before you put your face up to the rear glass to be able to see during a thunder clap! Lol.
