  1. Stabilizer bar disconnect on other models?

    I have owned multiple vehicles with sway bar SFA discos it helps absorb bumps at any speed. But yes at some point it can be considered unsafe (Ford already limits its speed due to lawyers). Some hardcore Jeepers disconnect them permanently and drive everywhere. It would absolutely be nice...
  2. Stabilizer bar disconnect on other models?

    This and a surround camera on a base would be so awesome. I agree that it's the only thing making the badlands unique and worth it for some folks to pay the badlands premium for this one feature and then everything else Ford tosses in to drive up the price. So doubt it's offered on lower trims...
  3. [TFL] Can a Sasquatch Bronco Keep Up With a Modded Wrangler & Defender When It Gets Serious Off-Road?

    Most impressive bronco video I've seen! If they prove reliable and hold up to repeated use Ford has a real winner on their hands.
  4. A Wrangler Owner/Enthusiast/Builder honest review of the 2021 Bronco -- long...

    Don't mind the trolls. Curious as to your thoughts on the Sway Bar Disco performance. All the vids seem to show moderate articulation gain and its the front locker making the difference on the IFS. It clearly isn't as much of a performance improvement as it is on a SFA Rubicon but do you think...
  5. Test Drive Causing Me to Re-evaluate

    Yep, those wanting a "better" as in more daily driver and on road friendly jeep are going to be very satisfied. Those of us that came from the full size bronco, half ton trucks, and modern SUVs are likely going to be a bit disappointed on a few things. There are so few legitimate full size SUV...
  6. Is the 2.3 going to be the reliable offroad engine vs the 2.7?

    I guess it's possible ford decided to "nerf" the 2.7 for no reason at all, but I tend to think it was deliberately done to protect something. Either way, and to my point, the turbo engines from the factory are not giving performance metrics (mpgs, acceleration, elevation improvements) that are...
  7. Has anyone tried the trail maps yet?

    Straight from OnX website: What common devices are NOT compatible? Amazon Kindles. Windows Phones and Tablets. Google Chromebooks. Apple Watches. Apple CarPlay. Android Watches. Android Auto.
  8. Is the 2.3 going to be the reliable offroad engine vs the 2.7?

    Could be. Either way, a tune doesn't seem like a wise idea.
  9. Is the 2.3 going to be the reliable offroad engine vs the 2.7?

    Isn't the speculation that's it's "nerfed" due to the transmission? Seems like you are just creating other problems potentially, for a bit more speed. Not to mention that's an aftermarket mod, that may void warranty.
  10. Has anyone tried the trail maps yet?

    Why the hell can't OnX just get an App for apple car play and android auto to display on the big screens. One less thing for Ford to worry about and far better performance.
  11. Car and Driver Review: 2021 Bronco Goes Big, Sticks the Landing (w/ tested acceleration & MPG figures)

    I think you are exactly right. A model refresh when sales start to dip in 3-5 years with a 3.5 or NA motor (or maybe a hybrid if tech improves) will give the bronco a noticeable bump in sales. Especially if the tow rating bumps up slightly as well with perhaps the better R80 transmission. They...
  12. Is the 2.3 going to be the reliable offroad engine vs the 2.7?

    You are exactly right. Neither the 2.3 nor the 2.7 are very fast performers in all the videos we have seen. Towing is extremely low, so no advantage to a turbo there either. As you said a 5.7 Hemi blew away the 2.7 at elevation, so no turbo advantage at elevation either. Turbos are certainly...
  13. Base SAS vs Black Diamond SAS

    I wouldn't get caught up in the sway bar disco until even one video emerges of a situation where the sway bar disco makes a lick of difference versus a bronco without. Every video I see it marginally increases articulation. The wheels are still well in the air or barely touching with the extra...
  14. Base SAS vs Black Diamond SAS

    Yep, ford would have made it interesting if they had offered surround cameras on mid package. Without that, basesquatch all day.
  15. Anyone wish Ford kept a traditional tailgate design? Think they will bring it back?

    Must not have many hunters, fishermen, campers, farmers, ranchers etc, on this board. A drop down tailgate is far superior for us folks that spend a bunch of time outdoors. The whole back half of the bronco is poorly designed: no drop down tailgate, lack of removeable rear seat, carpet on seat...
  16. TFL: 2021 Bronco vs Wrangler vs Defender - Off-Road Trail Comparison Video

    Great video, best off-road comparison I've seen by far! Tires make a huge difference off-road (just ask the defender, haha). 35s vs 33s were a noticeable starting advantage for the Bronco. Squatch across the lineup is a huge Bronco advantage. Wrangler had much better articulation and was...
  17. Thanks All! Taking delivery of our Bronco today - First Edition 4-Door MIC Top in Cyber Orange

    Congrats! Y'all have the best content on the internet in this segment, I've been waiting for this! Keep up the great work! I am highly interested in the bronco sway bar disco vs jeeps for front end articulation comparison. Also, let us know how the bronco factory armor holds up to the rocks...
  18. 🏁 Acceleration Track Test : Bronco 2.7L and 2.3L versus Jeep Wrangler 3.6L [Car and Driver]

    The point isn't that this is slow. Both the Jeep and the Bronco are adequately fast, especially for off-road vehicles. The issue is the Ford hype machine, isn't matching performance. Jeep engines were constantly called a dog on here and Ford's turbos were going to blow then out of the water...
  19. 2 door base Sasquatch 2.3 vs. 2.7?

    Thanks for your perspective. It does seem like both engines are adequate but not fast in the videos we have seen. Seem about the same as the Jeep Pentastar, which is notoriously just ok. How much would a transmission swap cost? I can't imagine that's cheap. Kinda disappointing to hear these...
