He’s an awesome guy, I wish I had recorded some of our conversation but oh well. It is definitely a bit weird that they picked a British guy to design such an American vehicle, but evidently it worked! His outside perspective let other viewpoints influence him on what Bronco should be, and he...

I was just in Milwaukee for a few days and just had to chime in. Holy cow, everyone who lives there needs a Bronco to deal with the horrible horrible roads. I honestly can’t believe it, I go to Mexico at least once a year and the roads there are honestly better than in Milwaukee.

So the airbag algorithm is based on an impact not having a winch involved. Adding that 100+LBS to your front bumper changes how those sensors detect an impact and could mess up the airbag timing. You can go to the dealership and get them to flash the airbag system so that the sensors are aware...

Hey guys, sorry it took me a bit to get around to this, been insanely busy these past few weeks with work and just got back from a wedding. I obviously talked with a TON of Ford people at the media off-roadeo event, and just wanted to give you guys some information and impressions of some of the...

Man watching that how to video, Bronco seems SO easy to modify honestly. VS a spacer lift on a wrangler obviously it’s a bit more intensive but not hugely so. And that upper control arm and coilover isn’t bad at all. I honestly think this is how I would sum it up: Bronco vs Jeep on 33’s is...

I am locking this thread due to complete misinformation, my contact at Ford confirmed this is not true luckily!

I unfortunately didn’t. Riding along with the KOH guys showed Baja mode felt pretty damn fast off road so I assume that would transfer. I don’t think anyone will complain about the on road drive. I assume in the rain it will sound like a Wrangler which is pretty loud, but nothing overly crazy.

@North7 and others asking I updated the OP with my written review! I apologize for it taking so long, I have had an absolutely insane week dealing with work and a wedding I’m on my way to right now. Actually posting this from the (extremely slow) Southwest Wi-Fi lol. Any further questions just...

The BD non Sasquatch is basically the Ford equivalent of a TRD Pro 4Runner. Extremely capable vehicle, you’re going to love it. The only drawback over the BL is the front locker and standard shocks, but the standard shocks felt good to me personally. Front locker is only needed for the hardest...

I agree with most of his review. I don’t feel that the Jeep rides better on the street like he says, but that’s an opinion thing. I also only spent an hour in a JL for comparisons sake. I actually have heard people say things in their reviews that I completely disagreed with but it may be...

Exactly. And apparently sport mode lets you get wheel spin from a stop so it should be quite a bit better. As far as “usable speed” the 2.7 is awesome. You’ll have zero issues passing and getting on the highway.

That is in my written review but I’ll preview it here, without sport mode on Bronco is pretty slow right off the line, however it picks up once you’re going. Just from 0-5 MPH when you punch it, it totally pulls timing. Talking with some journalists at dinner they said sport mode makes a pretty...

I guessed 6 seconds in my review unofficially, one of the publications gave an estimate of mid to high 5’s. The 2.7 is very fast for what it is. Very very few people are going to complain and I can guarantee that guy is 100% full of it. He was using 3/4 pedal or something.

I should, I ended up super busy at work yesterday and didn’t have time to sit down at the computer and type. Will either be later today or early tomorrow!

Thanks Sean! Learned a ton for my videos going forward too!

Honestly I have a ton more respect for car reviewers now. It’s tough to articulate all this stuff, get the footage you need, etc. With more time it would be easier but everyone was the same as me, basically you got 24 hours from shuttle door arrival to shuttle door home.

I’ve got a whole list for my written review, honestly there are quite a few that other publications haven’t noticed I’m kinda surprised.

Off roadeo is for all skill levels, honestly you could do the whole thing in a stock wrangler with just the traction aid lockers if you’re skilled enough. Bronco just makes people who aren’t that good off road seem better, and as evidenced by the KOH guys it still has a pretty high ceiling once...

I think that one actually had a stick, I drove a 2.7/auto BD just in red! It was great, the “Bronco feel” really transferred over regardless of squatch or not. You’re gonna love it.

Yup, saw some comments on that. Oh well, next time! My computer is close to 10 years old now and rendering took absolutely FOREVER, I was in a rush to get it done to release this morning! I’ve considered putting together something a bit more comprehensive, I have hours of footage but I really...
