What a waste of gasoline.

Have you tried this in Sport mode? Mine is much better with that in Sport Mode (actually quite jumpy). And I only have that due to ForscanWell one thing about the bronco acceleration that does matter to me is the 0-10mph and it is TERRIBLE. I have the 2.7, 4-door Wildtrack, and pulling out in front of traffic is dangerous. Once the turbos kick in, it has lots of power, but the turbo lag is awful. My old 4Runner with 100 less HP was much faster off the line. Surprised I haven't seen more complaints about this.
I have tried that but I tbing Sport mode is bad for the transmission. It makes for some very jerky gear shifts and like it’s asking to make things break earlier than they should.Have you tried this in Sport mode?

Your profile lists an S/C Cobra replica with 427 CID engine. So, I have to assume you are used to pulling out in front of people and using your 500 or 600 HP?Well one thing about the bronco acceleration that does matter to me is the 0-10mph and it is TERRIBLE.

Interesting it is also my first daily driver with turbo and I think it’s a dog from 0-10. My 4Runner could at least get a chirp out of the tires. Not a chance on the bronco. And no I’m not expecting the face melting low end torque of a 7 liter V8. 2.7 liters does nothing until the turbos spin up.Your profile lists an S/C Cobra replica with 427 CID engine.

I’ve never owned a turbo charged vehicle before, but my 2.7L does not have anything I might call turbo lag.
False. The G wagon is bad ass off road and there are multiple people in our Colorado Facebook group that drive them off road.sorry, but I don't consider the G wagon or the defender to be in the same class here.. they are vehicles that will NEVER be driven off road - heck, the G wagon comes with tires that are more suited for a Corvette than an off-road vehicle, and the Defender looks like a fancy Honda Element ... both of them are jokes in this category as far as I'm concerned
As mentioned many times before, 1st gear has a lot of torque management so it feels rather underwhelming when getting on the gas hard in 1st gear.Int

I've never seen one with anything other than low profile street tires, and not much more ground clearance than a Civic, and I usually see a couple of them a day on my daily commuteFalse.

Certainly nobody would ever take a Defender off pavement. Mall crawlers, all of them!
