Coldest Temperature Driven in Your Bronco?

[joeb]

So,

With the Arctic Blast moving through the country and impacting millions of people.

I would like to know who has driven the Bronco in super Cold Temps.
I left work yesterday and it was -1°

The doors were a little sticky but window operation was good -- how it lowers and raises with door.

I'm in Central PA.

So, how did your Bronco handle the cold?

Yesterday would have been the coolest for my 6th generation… -16°C. Quick math says is in the mid-single digits in Fahrenheit. It worked just fine honestly, no issues. If I leave the house today I can beat that, but honestly I have no intention to leave the house today.

The coldest ever in any Bronco would be -30°C… which is -22°F. That happened in a 1989 Ford Bronco XLT. I didn’t have engine block heater for that Bronco, so to help the batteries out as best we could we would trickle charge them overnight in the shed. That worked just fine to start the truck and heat up the engine oil. But at those temps nothing works quite right, and you would have to baby it a bit until the transmission and differential gear oil got up to temp.

Was about -5F when I took it for a drive yesterday, and it was outside overnight and it got down to about -13 as well. Handled the cold no problem at all!

 

[talbot]

was driving in -28C the other day

really makes you appreciate the heated steering wheel

Glad to know. Honestly I was a little concerned about door/window operation.

You're in the USA and you use Celsius?! What the F...ahreneheit!

Coldest I've been is is probably -10 C. The soft top holds in the heat really well - Pretty pleased by that!

This isn’t in my Bronco, and it isn’t the coldest I’ve driven in, but it is the coldest that I’ve ever thought to take a photo of. This was in February ‘19. Headed to the ND badlands, for a fat bike race, set up a tent and camped in these temps.

-29 here a couple days ago, no real issues. Steering gets stiff and my feet get cold thanks to Fords worthless, horrible, pathetic, embarrassingly underpowered floor heater but I survived.

Lucy the Bronco on IG is based in Fairbanks and was in the -40s

Glad to know. Honestly I was a little concerned about door/window operation.

I went to get into my 2 Door today, and both the driver and passenger windows are froze/stuck shut. 0 degrees outside.

saw it get as low as -16F on the way home from Colorado yesterday. No issues except rear passenger asked for more floor heat more often than normal; windows operate a lil slowly, especially when first opening them

-5 no issues. Soft top kept me warm. Oh and I could feel the vents at my feet blowing strong

 

[Boreal]

-43°C Ambient last January. -36°C Ambient this winter so far. Block heaters, grill shutters and Pennzoil makes a world of difference

I have driven my current ride (22BD) in -2 degree weather and all functioned as intended. My 21 BD was likewise ok, just that the steering would get really stiff.....
