    2.0L Oil change interval

    The normal oci is 7500 miles. Adjust as typical for severe usage - lots of idling, dusty conditions, high temps, etc. Use top quality oil - I always recommend full synthetic, Motorcraft is very good oil, there are numerous others.

    We have some 2023 orders already built and shipped, while some of the 22 orders that carried over are not scheduled until January. How they decide what order to schedule things is one of those huge mysteries of life that seems to defy all logic.

    What $19,995 gets you

    Its a lot less expensive to make a punch and die to make round holes than any other kind of shape, and they are trying hard to keep the cost down on the XL trim, so I'm betting there was not another $20k in the tooling budget to make slots instead of round holes.

    Flat towing

    ??? The Bronco Sport has 2 powertrain combinations - the 1.5 EcoBoost and the 2.0 EcoBoost The Maverick has 3 powertrain combinations - the 2.0 EcoBoost fwd, the 2.0 EcoBoost awd, and the hybrid. I'm pretty sure 2 + 3 = 5 still even in todays world.
