People always compare them but then balk when its said that the big bronco is based off the ranger platform and they are not anywhere near the same either. The escape and sport are more different than they are alike despite the fact that people who have never owned or drove either one like to say otherwise.

Going up a steep hill, a Tacoma that went up before me was spinning tires. The Bronco Sport made it up the hill with hardly any effort.

    I think the issue at hand here is the fact that the auto mode in the Compass behaves like an actual auto mode, while the auto mode in the Bronco is much more aggressively tuned than necessary. This discrepancy makes the the Compass "appear" worse and puts much more emphasis on choosing the correct drive program. The tuning of the Bronco makes the GOAT modes seem less significant.

      If you understand traction control or 4wd systems you will know that rock mode locks up the wheels the most aggressively and so it won't matter what terrain it is used on . All other modes allow more wheel slip. The advantage of going to a less aggressively tuned mode is to prevent sideways movement in loose or slippery terrain. The Broncos system simply is proving to be a lot better here at keeping 4 wheels providing power when needed.

      @@Natethegreat200c Read what @Falcon-mc5fs said, it's basically what I was gonna say, it really won't matter in this comparison when it comes to the rock mode as most other modes would allow way more slippage which was what he wanted to avoid, which btw, mud and ruts modes in Fords are known for allowing a little slip to clean off the tires of mud or ruts that get stuck on it, so yes, rock is the correct mode, or maybe sand can allow for less slip too.

    I'm actually looking into getting a new car this year. Currently the only solid contender is the Bronco Sport Badlands (with the upgraded off road system). I'm waiting on some more info on the new Tacoma to see if I should do that instead, but right now I've been super impressed with the Bronco Sport with not just it's offroad capability, but overall a great vehicle. Good mileage, AMAZING safety, good look, haven't heard any serious issues (unlike the bigger Bronco), love the analog speedometer still existing, simple clean designed interior.

      You'll be happy with either one. My vote is also on the Bronco, it's a little bigger than my Renegade but I absolutely love how easy it is to drive and park my Renegade, and how it's equally at home on forest service roads or in the city. As a guy who lives smack dab in between a major city and a large national forest it's a perfect fit. The Bronco Sport is only a little longer so I imagine it's quite similar in feel, though I have no experience driving one.

    I have a 2021 Badlands BS. I can tell you, I have had it in situations where people said I couldn’t. I have seen this in action where I saw jeeps spinning, and it walked right through.
    The biggest limitation I have run into is my 10.25in clearance, and lack of mud section armor (which I plan to fix the armor situation eventually). I have a 1.25in lift over factory.
    Overall, I haven’t had to turn back from anywhere I wanted to go so far. Could I go where the big 32in guys go vertical? Nope. Do I want to? Nope. Not right now.

      The Bronco Sport:
      1. Is far more comfortable on regular roads.
      2. Has 4 doors, so it is easier to take more than one additional person around. Also, it is far less cumbersome to make a trip to CostCo and pick up mega packs TP/PT as well as giant jar of mixed nuts, a 32 pack flavored bubbly water, two dozen roses and a 27" computer monitor.
      3. Is more fuel efficient.
      I have a 2021 Bronco Base 2-door that cost me $30,555 new, but I can see the value of a Bronco Sport.

The Ford Maverick would probably be my 1st choice and this would probably be 2nd but I'd have to drive both before I pick. Hopefully someday I'll have one of them.

    The big thing no reviewer brings up is Jeep offers rebates on the Compass that drop the price thousands less than the BS. And when it’s in “rock” mode it seemed to be about the same off road although I think the BS would ultimately perform better because you can “lock” the rear end but it does cost more for that and the more powerful engine. And the interior decision could go either way but to me it’s much nicer in the Compass.

    Looks like Ford has an edge on the traction control programming for sure. But it also has an advantage in the rear locker and a tire advantage, the compass trailhawk comes with highway tires, the bronco had some AT's. Although, I'm not convinced the tires were the advantage. If it came down to the AWD system alone, Ford takes it no doubt.

I think this should be a test of these vehicles….unplug an abs sensor, probably front, and see what happens. Can you still get 4wd to get you off the trail? Can you use the old fashion method of applying the brakes a little to help control wheel spin with open diffs?
