My first drive of a 2.3L Bronco Sasquatch 4-Door (quick review and answers)!

[Mattwings]

I took it down for fear of getting someone in trouble. That would be very upsetting to me and not my intent.

How was the power with the 2.3 sasquatch?

I got a pretty awesome opportunity tonight. Another forum member got a lead on a Bronco near me. Within a few minutes, I was on my way to check it out. 2.3 SQ BB Mid Package 4DR Rapid Red. I have owned a Jeep TJ and Driven a JK, so I had a certain baseline in mind. It exceeded my expectations for ride, noise, handling, drive-ability, interior space, driving position, really just f*ing outstanding. Went over some surface streets, some 50mph roads, dirt roads. No HWY driving (I was in heaven just getting to sit in one). I was not disappointed in any way. The Bronco was in 4A mostly (SQ remember) also put it in sport mode and standard 2wd. The modes were noticeable, but we weren't doing anything crazy, so no review of the modes themselves.

I believe you, but as the saying goes...pics or it didn't happen.

Good, almost the same as my sons 2.3 Ranger FX4. Great low end, solid drive ability , reasonably quiet. Solid choice and if the delay is to great, I will change my order without worry.

I see the "stalking" has paid off. By the way, how was it possible a 4-dr squatched Bronco was able to move with only the 2.3L? Reading B6G and it seems as the 2.7L is the consensus powerplant.

I am nothing if not persistent. Must be some sort of magic pixie dust, but regular driving the motor was excellent. I didn’t put the coal to it, but acceleration was solid up to posted speeds. Easily better than my LJ 4.0 6sp even with 35s.

Thank you for the honest feedback. I can't wait to zip around in my 2.3L 2-dr stock OBX.

Jeleous, but intrigued and hot n bothered.

This is awesome. Boy ohh boy, swear I never thought you Michigan boys had any advantages, I mean with the state of Wolverine football and all.... I kid, sorta.

But the proximity to Ford has paid off. Glad for you and thanks for sharing. You're posts usually do share great info, so keep em coming!

These first ride reviews are going to have to sustain me for an entire year.
