Stuck Bronco Sport

[BroncoDymond88]

Just saw this on Reddit. Reminder that the Bronco sport is not to be confused with the full size ;-)

Must’ve bought the line that it’s a “real” Bronco.

From the videos they’ve shown with the Sport, it seems more than capable to handle a little bit of sand, especially in badlands trim. I’m willing to bet this was a mechanical failure of some kind, and not just stuck. Otherwise the recovery truck would have just yanked it out and not gone to the trouble of hooking up the front to tow.

I really hate that Ford attached the name Bronco to this. It’s a decent little CUV, but in no way is what the Bronco legend/brand represents.

And one did go to that shutdown mode for the pro gal in the sand....

Yeah, but what else would they do? They’re trying to create a “brand” kinda like Jeep. This is their compass? Cherokee? If it’s just a Ford, it’s just a Ford, if that makes sense lol.

yep, never saw a wrangler stuck in the sand.

My wife’s Sport BL+BL is more than a CUV. Stop thinking of the BS as an Escape, RAV4, or CRV. It is a capable off-roader. It is not a full size Bronco but it will go places.

I agree probably something mechanical.

Yeah, I guess I get it.

Or they didn’t air down.

As much as everyone mocks the Bronco Sport (and trust me, I am not interested in buying one in the slightest), I do think it’s a fairly capable vehicle. It won’t stack up to the full-size Bronco, but it was never intended to.

I drive a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk - Do I expect it to be a Wrangler and go anywhere a Wrangler can? No. However it is “Trail Rated” and is very capable off-road. The “pro” is I also get more comfort/luxury vs. a Wrangler.

At any rate, a Bronco Sport is still “in the family” so maybe cut it a bit of slack. We also don’t know the circumstance of this photo. Could have been a technology failure or could have very well been the driver was over his/her head - Who knows.

I'd bet a dollar if they had the right tire pressure they'd have a chance. I have done a bunch of wheeling on the beach and dunes on the east coast. Once even in a stock piece of crap Explorer with 4x4 but no limited slip or lockers. Tire spinners. But we got the tire pressure right and it was fine. So maybe mechanical failure?

My mom's sport makes it down my road whether underwater, or in very deep sand.
