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

[RRaptor]

Thanks for posting! I am looking forward to a lot of reviews coming out in the next week from the King of the Hammers.

Makes me feel much better in my choice, if a 4dr SAS is peppy with the 2.3 then my 2 dr non-sas BD should move right out!

Oh my. I'm so jealous! How easy was entry and exit? Did they running board get in the way?

As I have said before, I bet a 2.3 auto 4 dr Bronco is faster 0 to 60 than a 1970 Boss 302 Mustang. I am old enough to know.

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

I wont pass along his comments on delivery dates, other than to say he thought they were doing everything they could to meet or beat the latest revisions, but he did mention that Covid was the primary issue and one supplier in particular (and some other parts and suppliers to a lesser degree) had some major delays.

I remember too. That would surprise me.

Was the steering tight?

Scary thing is that definitely some Camrys can outdo some of those muscle cars.

Oh man, you hit the JACKPOT! I knew I should‘ve waited in the driveway of the white OB I saw in Birmingham. I need bigger balls.

Maybe not faster, but neck and neck? I was never in a Boss 302 , but lots of time in several built early 70s Mach 1s that ran low 14s and the Bronco , seat of the pants, was not quite that, at least in SQ 4dr auto trim.

FOMO. That Red is always strikingly beautiful. Why did I choose white?

Since I got pushed to 22, Mansquatch looking better and better. Thanks for the info!

100%, I like jeeps, owned a nice TJ, tried to like the JK, it is not in the same universe as the Jeep, head and shoulders better. It was as good or better than my sons 2020 FX4 Ranger even with the 35s. It is excellent.

Thanks for the great report! Now go out and grab a 2 dr sasquatch and report back. Either 2.3 or 2.7 - just interested in how the ride is in a 2dr sas.

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.

How can it be of you have to get an automatic?
