A couple of new Bronco's doing Mickey's hot tub. This is pretty impressive for what appears to be 2 stock units. Anyone that's seen this hot tub knows that its deep and steep. I have not tried this one with my Disco yet as it weight make me a bit reluctant.

I've seen a few guys go over on their lids here.

Pretty impressed how that Bronco suspension bites down and doesn't unload significantly coming out of their.

Once that second vehicle found the right line he made it look pretty easy. :)

Yes, they sure did.

The auto equipped unit (2nd truck) had way better control as you might expect but that is for sure a serious obstacle.

Here's a good overview of all the various models and features available for the Bronco...

It's pretty clear that Ford did indeed pilfer all the top off roading engineers from Land Rover when they sold it. I'd read that several times before....this confirms it imo.

One thing I forgot to mention. There's not much info regarding the drivetrain in that video. I'm curious what the different setus are (if any) between the basic no-frill unit and the top offroading focused unit (ala the Rubicon).

Has similarities in appearance to the D90 actually. Nothing like the DC100 at all imo.

I dunno what the DC100 resembles. Maybe an Evoke hybrid of some sort?  http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/14111111950167491600x1060.jpg

I looked at the specs. I thought the standard transmission will be made available on the V6.
Not clear on the various ratios that the offered on the transfer cases and differentials. How do you chose?
Many of these features are already on the Ford Ranger off roading truck too.

Red90

Manual on the 4 cylinder only.  Another quality designed Getrag box that nobody trusts with the bigger engine....  ::)

Axle ratios are based on which trim group you purchase and relates to tire size.

Transfer case selection has not been set. I would not worry about that too much.  The manual is 80:1 with the worst case gearing, basically double a regular Defender.

Red90


Red90

Useful manually controlled off road features.  What a concept.

Trail turn assist - Locks the rear inside tire when the steering reaches full lock. Manual lockers that let you use either at any time. Manual sway bar disconnect that works while under full load.

And the US market battle between Jeep and Bronco is ramping up too.     Some pretty nice features in there.    Still no diesel eh.....
