Some guys over on the Bronco Sport forum think CR can't be trusted. They're commies; they've been bought off; they're just a bunch of know-nothing toaster testers who are biased against Ford, etc., etc.
That's because CR said some mean things about their precious.
So if CR is wrong about the BS are they wrong about the Maverick?
I'm glad to see the Maverick rated so highly. No organization is perfect, but CR has been around for 90 years and they do a good job. Chances are, they are correct about both the Maverick and BS.
BTW, CR gives a decent rating to the 2024 and '25 BS.
