Does this work well at low speeds and can it be done turning either direction? It seems like all the videos have some speed to them. I would like to see it done on a tight trail and not sand.
I also would like to see a tight turn done with and without trail turn enabled to see how much it...
I don't expect much change in one model year but I think there are a few no brainier and easy items that they may address.
I'm talking items such as 360 camera view not being obstructed by the winch, perhaps a new color or two (green and tan please), maybe a cold weather group or enhanced...
I agree there is a bit of a gimmick to drive modes, but for $40-60k there better be a few gimmicks, tech upgrades and luxuries in the mix. I would love nothing more than a new bare bones off-roader for 20k but that unicorn doesn't exist. If I'm paying for everything to be teched up with...
This is the kind of crap that Ford pulls that I just don't understand. You have seven modes why can't one of the badlands modes be for on pavement fun? I get having different trims, but on the highest end trims when folks are willing to pay for it, why not give them everything?
This is the kind...
I think this is part of the IFS tradeoff.
1. You don't need the same clearance as a Jeep as the vehicle simply won't articulate as much.
2. An aftermarket lift primarily for looks will be more difficult/expensive.
The bronco still will be incredibly capable and much better on-road but there...
In my opinion, the best factory camping/off-road vehicle currently offered is a Ram Power Wagon with Ramboxes. Tons of storage, plenty of capability both on and offroad and towing and the best part is it's basically the same price or less as a new loaded out Bronco or F150 (even less if you go...
I've been looking for a while and these prices just seem insane for most not even having an enclosed shower/toilet, not being able to stand up. Not to mention they will get thoroughly beat up off-road in a couple years.
All I want is a truly off-road capable trailer with a place to sleep out of...
I like it, way more than I thought I would. Anything that pushes the truck and off-road envelope forward I'm all for. Having this and the bronco enter try market in the same year is impressive.
Pros: Some really cool new tech. I especially love the removeable roof, the cameras and the ability...
Give the big bronco 35s, solid axles, front and rear lockers, disco sway bar and an integrated winch and you will be surprised where it could go. (Youtube Power Wagon off-road videos for an idea of what's possible). Sure it won't fit on every jeep trail out there and will be susceptible to some...
I haven't even seen a legit rumor, so I bet it's at least 5 years away if at all. The mileage standards really hurts its chances of making it to market in my opinion.
You will read a good amount of animosity on this topic on this board for whatever reason, but I for one would absolutely love...
I would love a 20 gallon or so pressurized water tank, even better if it could be heated somehow. Instant showers and wash station anywhere, anytime would be incredibly useful.
Other cool ideas:
Optional two battery and dual alternator set-up from factory
Factory on-board air compressor...
The Perfect Hunting/Overlanding/Camping Rig
Full Size Bronco - Built on F150 or F250 Chassis includes the following:
Suspension: SFA - Front and Rear Lockers, Sway Bar Disco, Integrated Winch
35" Tires Standard with 37" Option
New F150 Power Boost/Generator setup with a 50 miles electric...
There have been a couple threads on this recently. The outcome was a lot of arguing and not much of a consensus. Opinions vary quite a bit from some saying it's even more essential on an IFS to others saying it adds almost zero extra capability off-road on an IFS.
There are a couple good...
The power wagon has a SFA. So not a fair comparison. I agree that nobody knows how much of an actual offroad benefit a sway bar disco has on an IFS bronco. I think it will give a smoother ride at lower speeds if nothing else so that's a nice benefit, but I'm not as convinced it will add a ton of...
I think at least one if not both of the Bronco Raptor and a hybrid/power boost powertrain are highly likely to be offered within 3 years. If that's "special" enough to wait/upgrade is going to be up to each individual. Other than that, I agree there won't be too many significant changes...
If it won't kill you, I absolutely think waiting is the most prudent route. Within 3 years you will get to see the new 4 Runner, Jeep's response (V8, improved steering, hybrids/electric), possibly even GMCs response, you will get to see the new electric trucks hit the market, you will get to see...
I feel like the bronco sport is what missed and should be called something else and doesn't belong in the bronco lineup.
In my perfect world they would have built the current bronco as is for hardcore offroading and direct jeep wrangler competitor and similar to the early broncos; and then also...
Obviously the difference between IFS and SFA and how a Sway Bar Disconnect may vary in performance is lost on you. On a SFA you absolutely can get through "more obstacles" with it disconnected as it significantly improves articulation, "comfort" is not why it is there although it is an added...
Absolutely ridiculous. Yes I have owned a Jeep before and currently own a Power Wagon....you know vehicles that actually have the sway bar disco feature I'm discussing and actually have experience using (although on SFA vehicles).
Ridiculous to have to give credentials, but my first car was a...
