That's a good point and I think it could definitely help on an IFS in certain situations. However wouldn't that inevitably reduce clearance if both tires are stuffed versus a SFA that would form a straight line thereby having higher clearance on the heavily compressed side.
So many offroad...
Thank you very much, I did a quick search and didn't see it.
That thread has some interesting and an extemely wide range of opinions all the way from basically useless on an IFS to even more important. Since it's essentially a 4-5k upgrade for the feature if would be nice to see some real...
This is an interesting theory, but if there is little resistance with the IFS then that stability may be reduced. Is the wheel actually applying significant downward pressure once it touches? Also, curious as to actual travel distance. It looks pretty good on the one or two videos highlighting...
I'm definitely sold on IFS for off-road driving at speed. Not as sold on it for longevity and not at all sold on it being superior for rock crawling. So trying to discern if this limitation make the Sway Bar Disco more valuable if it already struggles a bit more rock crawling or maybe it...
I've seen the video. However barely touching a rock and being forced down by the other side of the SFA fulcrum are two entirely different things.
It will obviously provide some level of traction versus the wheel in the air, but how much does it drop and with what force is it pressing down to...
Does anyone have any thoughts on real world functionality of the sway bar disconnect on an independent front suspension (IFS) vehicle?
I've owned a Jeep and currently own a Power Wagon so am familiar with how effective a disconnect can be on rocks with a solid front axle (SFA).
Without the...
Well, the price for a loaded one is expected to approach luxury off-road price, so a level of quality features should be expected. If we were talking about a 30k vice 55k rig then I would agree with you. But let's not kid ourselves into thinking the bronco is some kind of poor man's utilitarian...
Looks pretty awesome! Would love it if it came in two door with 4 door dimensions.
My secret evil plan is to wait until this comes out in a couple years and then buy a gently used badlands at a discount from one of you suckers when you upgrade to this beast:devilish:
I think many of us feel Ford made some odd compromises.
It went with IFS vs SFA for comfort vice off-roading capability ---while then saying it can't be a larger vehicle since its not about comfort but off-roading.
It's an off-roader so don't expect good MPG --- yet you still can't have a V8...
That absolutely would go a long way for me. I had an old Bronco and could lay the tailgate flat for sleeping. The 4 door pull out tray solves this issue to some degree. If the two door had something similar that would go along way. But you then still have the carpeted backs, the head rest...
I think many are scared away from LandRover by the potential unreliability and cost. I agree with you though. If you are truly comparing Bronco capabilities to other makers your closest competitors are probably LandRover Defender and 4 Runner, especially when talking 4 door. Yet all everyone...
So I couldn't disagree much more with the thread starter.
I owned an 1982 Ford Bronco as my first vehicle back in the day. It had two doors and still plenty of cargo space. It certainly wasn't in the compact SUV category like the new Bronco, so why couldn't there at least be a big Bronco...
This is so awful for outdoor enthusiasts that I bet it changes with the next model update. There is no way to easily fit a dog kennel or two back there with that ledge for us dog owners. The carpeted backs are going to get messy, the nice headrests are going to get extremely dirty and the multi...
If there is room in the Bronco lineup for the Sport, then there should be room for a big Full Size V8 or Eboost Bronco built on a full size truck or even an HD platform.
It solves so many complaints that you see on here ranging from space, towing, engine size, etc.
Look how popular full size...
I just joined the forum, so this is my first post. I was going to start a thread on this exact topic. I do think the bronco is just a touch small for alot of people. My first vehicle was an '82 ford bronco, so I would love to get another for nostalgia purposes, but really want to see the space...
