Their burgers were called "Greasy Sliders" not for how they went down (in)....
But, for HOW they went out..

The tranny's are solid.......right ?
The issues with the 8f35 are well documented. No internal filter for small particulates, so if you follow the recommended fluid interval....boom. Usually at 70-80k miles.
If you change the fluid every 30k, with an early change at 10k, they usually hold up better. But IIRC we have seen failures in those that got early fluid changes too.
Both transmissions the 8f35 was built from, the 6f35 and the 9T40 have issues with spontaneous failures.
The Escape also has nicer trim packages and a 10 wat seat option.
I'd like the BS more if there was a Maverick sized option. If you could get a 200" long Bronco Sport with 4k tow, I'd jump on one of those.Don't get me wrong
I do like my Tremor
But I definitely like better my Bronco Sport Badlands
It's an eye catcher

That's for sure
I don't tow anymore so it's good

So much chatter about how wonky the 8F35 trans is, but looks how many vehicles use that kind
Ford Escape 2020–2026 with selected 1.5L and 2.0L powertrains
Ford Edge 2019–2024 with the applicable 2.0L powertrain
Ford Bronco Sport 2021–2026
Ford Maverick 2022–2026 with the 2.0L EcoBoost engine
Ford Transit Connect 2019–2022 in applicable configurations
Lincoln Corsair 2020–2026
Lincoln Nautilus 2019–2023 in applicable configurations
If the trans is so unreliable, one would think that the transmission shops would be flooded with them requiring repair based on the volume of vehicles that use them. I don't have any figures on the number of these transmissions that are out there, but if the Escapes, Edge, Bronco's and Maverick's use them, the number has to be substantial.
That is incorrect. The 8F35 does have an internal filter but to change it you have to drop the trans and spilt the case. So changing the ULV fluid every 30k will help the filter stay clean and remove debris form the trans and fluid for longer service life. The 8F35 does not have widespread failure but it happens and all transmissions are subject to failure. Here is some good info on the 8F35
https://transmissionaudit.com/units/ford-transmissions/8f35/
The "internal filter" in the 8f35 is not comaprable to, say, an oil filter. Such a filter would fill up and choke fast.
It's more like a metal grate preventing larger debris from getting through and then dropping in the pan.
It's funny you listed all those, you go to ANY of their respective forums, and you will find people complaining about their transmissions.
I also love this idea of "oh well automakers would NEVER shove a known defective part into mass produced cars!". Ever heard of the Pinto? You know how Toyota has now 6 different vehicles all with the 3.4L ticking time bomb that keeps exploding in peoples cars? How many Focus/Fiestas did Ford pump out with the faulty DCT? Chevy has multipel vehicles using the failed 6.2L engine redesign. The list goes on.
The 4L-60 was a glass cannon princess that needed babied, and GM put it in EVERYTHING. The 6f35 had the same issue as the 8f35, and Ford used it in many vehicles, the Fusion, the Escape, the Edge, and so on, guess what, It failed too! Nissan's CVTs barely worked and fail constantly, and they put it in the Sentra, Versa, Altima, Maxima, Rogue, Rogue sport, Pathfinder, and Murano.
In no way does a part being used in multiple vehicles make that part reliable.
All I'm saying is that with that many 8F35 trans out there, if they are that unreliable then the Ford dealers and transmission shops would be flooded with repairs on them and they are not.
