Holy smokes! So after a long few days I wanted to get a write up done.
The trip out to the Texas off-roadeo was awesome! It also doubled as a test of MPG. In the city since owning it i averaged 17.5 on regular. I took the trip out to Texas on regular, and then made the switch to premium and drove back on that, and will then do the next 5/6 fill ups on premium to get a good gauge of city MPG differences. trip out there ran a little over on time as i didnt get the screenshot right away, but 16 hours, 1121.7 miles, 16.1 recorded avg mpg and an average speed of right around 70. That being said a good deal of the trip was in the 80+ speed.
The trip back on premium was 15.5 hours, 1116.9 miles, recorded avg mpg was 16.2 with similar speeds, so no real impact on higher speed road trips, im sure if the average speed was in the 60’s it would have shown a more of a difference, but i have a feeling my city mpg will increase from 17.5 and will update as i can.
Now onto the real journey! The off-roadeo. Wow, just wow. Words can not express how impressed i was with not only the Texas location, but the ability of the bronco. Spent the morning doing a little education on the switches, dials, and buttons, along with the ideal way to do certain items. Then Texas thought it would be great to rain, basically all day, which for sure made for an interesting day. Took a little video of some of the trails we went on and it just doesn’t do it justice. The incline and declines dont translate well on the video but there were plenty of times i was staring at the sky or the ground, and the bronco soaked up every inch of it.
Going in depth with the goat modes and the hero switches, when to use them, when to turn them on and off was really good. I am more than excited to plan an off road adventure knowing just how capable this thing is.
For anyone thinking about going, i would highly recommend it. While talking with some of the staff, rumor has it that they may be opening up the chances to go to more than one off-roadeo location per owner, if thats the case i would love to hit up the Moab one. That’s probably where im going to travel to for my first big outing, but who knows what will happen between now and then. Thanks for whomever reads this! Also attached a video if you want to check it out!
