Dune bashing with the Bronco. Color me impressed!

Took my Bronco up some narly dunes today in the Arabian desert. Really pushed it and ive got a 2 dr OBX (badged as Wildtrak here in the Middle East). No better feeling like finding out what your car can do.

Honestly, the HOSS 1.0 did not fail me and this time we really drove hard. Would love to hear stories on here of other people dune bashing as well and their overall experience with their Broncos!

Oh and i will say, the Bronco (not me), really stole the show with everyone wanting to see what it could do.

Looks like a blast! Looks like the desert goes on forever...

It was insane. Been a few times but never this deep. We got to a point where there was a plateau and there were at least 50 cars up there. Everyone split up into their own little convoys of 10-15 cars.

Last time I tried that the dunes bashed me.

You have a mixture of everything! Jeeps, FJs, trucks, looks like a great time / outing.

Oh yeah! even saw a Chinese copy of the Bronco on the dunes as well. Look up a car named Tank 300. It was... weird.

Perfect reason to upgrade your IC

This looks AMAZING/FUN. Reminds me of my young days growing up on a oil compound in Saudi Arabia. Weekends would be this on quads. Sand Duns on one side the golf sea on the other. The infamous Toyota Land Cruisers and Nissan Patrols. Ahhh the good days. So the Outerbanks is badged as a wildtrack in the Middle East? Interesting. Is it a true wildtrack (like the US market) or the badging of a wildtrack on a OB build?

Awesome! What country were you driving in these videos? I got a 80-series Land Cruiser mired in a wet salt pan out near Rafha, Saudi Arabia. Learned a lot about desert driving in Saudi.

Did I just see an "Almost 4x4" orange flag? Is that the group you were with?

That looks great! So much fun going out. I haven't done any dunes, but this makes me wonder if I should.

It reminds me of the old Nissan Xterra

It was awesome. The Land cruisers and Patrols just glide over the sand its amazing. We were literally talking about how crazy some of those cars were being pushed, no beadlocks or anything and they just float lol.

So its interesting because the 4 door comes as a true Wildtrak. (35 inch tires, Hoss 3.0, etc). The 2 door is badged as a Wildtrak but is essentially an Outer Banks. So, comes with 32 inch tires, Hoss 1.0, no rear diff lock, and no 4A mode. But otherwise is fully loaded from the inside with the leather seats, large screen, heated seats etc. i got bigger tires ( 33inch) to give it some presence.

Its also got the 2.7 v6, forgot to add. But now for 2024, Ford Middle East changed that and the 2 door comes as a true Wildtrak. Mine is a 22 model that i got pre-owned with like 1000 miles on it as the previous owner didnt like the "rough ride".

loved the car before, but after hitting the dunes the way we did, and seeing how capable it was, love it even more.
