TheStraightPipes YouTube channel did a lengthy hands on of the Bronco Sport. Even though it’s not a full size I think it will give us a good idea of what we can expect.
If you haven’t seen these guys before they do a ton of in depth car reviews. You should definitely subscribe. They get into...
I’m not downplaying anything. Jeeps are great and they have been the only option for a removable top off road commercial vehicle for a while. They are the bar that Ford has to compete with and meet up to if not surpass.
Just like the Raptor is the bar set for factory off road trucks.
I’m...
We do know. You don’t need new fenders unless you are scared of getting a ticket for having offset wheels. The fenders are removable with a quick release clip if there was any problem.
There won’t be any rubbing. The only problem will be on full squat there will be 10mm more of clearance...
It was the implication that you couldn’t get those things with the Bronco. You can have 35/“s with the Bronco manual as much as you can with the Jeep. That’s great that you got a good deal.
You can add 35s to the badlands without a lift.
Congrats on the Jeep but that 6 cylinder has much less torque than the Broncos 4 cylinder and only 15 more HP. You are right you can’t get a 6 speed stick with the Bronco. It’s a 7 speed.
And that Rubicon you bought came with factory 35s?
I don’t care what you bought but it’s very simple to get what everyone wants. Get a badlands and add wheels and tires of your choice. Done.
You gotta pay to play. Anyone that doesn’t want to pay that much we’ll stick with the auto or add on...
For anyone that knows about off road vehicles what is better for high speed desert running? 33’s Or 35’s. Does the added tire weight affect anything?
You do get the bilstein shocks. We don’t really know if there is another “high lift” with Sasquatch. It is now confirmed that they have the same suspension so that will lift both the badlands and the Sasquatch.
I just wanted to say thanks @atonge40. You really hooked us up when we are all dying for information. Covid plus a year wait for our Broncos is going to turn as all crazy.
I’m really happy that Ford has been giving us a ton of glimpses at these trucks.
If you guys look at the news about...
I was really expecting more. That’s not much of a loss at all. I was planning on staying with the 33s on the badlands for the extra travel but if it’s that little I might as well get 35’s later.
I wonder if that just comes from longer bump stops or if it’s a spacer on top of the coils.
I just wish either of you guys were closer to SoCal.
The discount at Granger sounds great and Leo’s lifetime warranty on the power train also sounds great seeing as these turbo 4 cylinders are going to take a beating. I don’t think you can go wrong either way.
I can’t even get an email back...
It’s my understanding that they can’t mark up after Xplan pricing. They have to give you the invoice and it states the doc fee and DD fee. And it will state what you pay there.
If I was you I would definitely not buy the Badlands. If you aren’t going off-road the sway bar disconnect and lockers are going to be useless.
You will be able to save a ton of money by going to an Outerbanks or another lower trim and still get what you want.
If I was 100% on streets I would...
The exciting thing is that Ford made a product that can do this out of the box. It’s not a slam on Jeep. Everyone here knows Jeeps can do these things. Everyone knows Jeeps are currently the Kings at doing these things.
The worry for mewas that Ford would make a truck thatlooked good on paper...
Man that manual just crawled right up. Can you confirm if that was using the crawl gear?
I really can’t wait to get my 2dr MT Badlands. Or to see one with that set up in action.
It would also be great to know if the sway bar is disconnected in some of these MOAB videos.
