Congratulations! Beautiful color.
Miracle of miracles, it’s here! Got the call from my dealer last evening, but I wanted to wait until everything checked out in the PDI. All good, so she made it home.
Great write up. I did the Austin Off Roadeo last year when it was a 2 day event. It sounds like the same basic course though. I 100% agree this is a must do if you get the chance. I'd go again and will if they open it up for repeat visits. I'd love to do New Hampshire.We attended the Bronco Off-Roadeo Event this past weekend.
It was an amazing experience. As a long time off road enthusiast, I wasn't expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised though. The facility was top notch.
The instructors were awesome and very good at what they do.
We had plenty of outdoor classroom instruction then a full day of practical useful instruction.
I am truly impressed how much effort Ford has put into the technology of these trucks.
I can honestly say that every Bronco Owner needs to go to this class.
The day started at 9AM with orientation in the classroom as a meet and greet with your fellow classmates and instructors.
We broke into groups of 8 and each family had their own Bronco for the day.
We were then led outside to the ORX Classroom, which consisted of basic instruction on how to use the various off road options including the G.O.A.T. modes. This lasted for about an hour then we broke off to drive our designated Broncos each with a handheld radio for communication. We had a lead instructor and a tail gunner.
Every truck was inspected for safety and we were off on a 1.5 hour get used to driving off road easy mode trail.
We returned to base camp for a quick Bio Break as needed and to gather snack as needed.
Then it was back to the trails for another hour then back to base camp for Lunch.
After lunch we started having the real fun with 4 hours on the trails.
This included lots of technical rocks climbing and cliff diving.
We learned how to use the various options such as Off Road Cruise Control that let us dial in a speed to go up and down hills with different obstacles. We learned how to use the Trail Turn Assist and manual modes to allow for Engine Compression Braking.
The final hour of the off road portion of the day was a the quick track. This was a 2 mile dirt track with plenty of room for learning how to handle driving in Baja Mode. The track speed limit was 25 MPH and we were encouraged to follow said speed limit. This by far was the most fun part of the day for me, as this was in my wheel house of off road experience. I was very impressed on how well the Bronco did out there. I experimented with the different GOAT Modes and found my most fun setup was Baja Mode, 2H Traction Control Off.The throttle was very responsive and the drift was very predictable.
We returned to Base Camp for a nice Dinner at 6PM and shared our stories with our new friends.
Everyone exchanged pictures and contact information and spend money in the shop.
It was a great day.

If you find a solution please advise. I'm still looking...Rear plate installed.
I have the AR Call Sign front bracket but my brush bar interferes. Waiting on a solution.
Congrads Kurt! great looking color. how do you like it so far?
Miracle of miracles, it’s here! Got the call from my dealer last evening, but I wanted to wait until everything checked out in the PDI. All good, so she made it home.
Thank youTim! So far, so good, but I had limited time to drive her today. Drives way better than my Jeep JL though! Even with the soft top and 35’s, it is quieter than the hardtop Jeep. Go figure.
Omg that's a first.So got my baby picture just now, and apparently they included a pic of her Dad tooOnly in true purgatory fashion would I get this.
Yeah, I’m hoping that the running boards are low enough for the wife. Might need to mount a lifeboat davit to the roof for her…yup.. at the bronco off rodeo we drove a model without the steps and I missed them a lot.
kind of a control slide down to the ground.
@Alvin Olson Have you looked in the one Built Right Industries has? It’s the best solution I’ve seen so far in my opinion.Rear plate installed.
I have the AR Call Sign front bracket but my brush bar interferes. Waiting on a solution.
Thanks! And it looks better in person!
Thanks what i thought as well. I can hear odd things, like people talking as i pass them at low speeds, but not anything thats bad or that we can't get use to.
