well, I remember the stats, but in the thousands of things I've read, I can't remember right now. It might have been Car and Driver or someone else. I retract that Ford stated it.Where did Ford claim that?
Shouldnt the lower gearing help the Bronco? It should help it from the start. Jeep is heavier according to the video by several hundred pounds. I think this is all about the electric motor in the jeep, but the rest isnt exactly stacked against the bronco from the jeep side.Probably not. It's not like the Wrangler's use a superior transmission with massive amounts of overhead capability. An 850RE is only rated for 500nm, which is not much more than the 2.0t has.
People are looking way more into this because they don't understand what it means and everyone is looking at this vehicle with 4.70 diff gearing, relatively low trans gearing (meaning lots of shifts before freeway speeds) and massively heavy 35in tires with a 5300lb curb weight and wondering why a vehicle with a lower curb weight, lower gear diff's, similar HP, and smaller tires is faster.
There is literally nothing going on here. It's common sense.
I'm the same way - apparently getting older, but I'm almost never going to go 0-60 the fastest possible and definitely not in a way where a second or two is going to make any difference at all.I have not, but I don't have a lead foot either. I'm not worried. It's got 35's for F sake.
What do all the other people who live in your moderate sized city do? Because lots of them are driving vehicles as slow or slower than the Bronco.IAt some point you’ll be in a situation where you have to pull out into traffic. To me it lacks the confidence to get me out of some situations safely. I live in a moderate sized city and sometimes you have to just go or you’ll never get out.
Lower gearing CAN help, but you also have to take into account how many times the 10spd will need to shift, the higher propshaft speeds which increase parasitic loss and the rotational mass of the massive tires.Shouldnt the lower gearing help the Bronco?

The one I watched was a pretty evenly matched with numbers and pump gas I was amazed as much of a dog as the 3.6 is it beat the bronco in normal and spooled up sport mode I know these vehicles aren't made for speed but my God if you're slower than a wrangler that's pretty badI’m sure this is true. Question was it w/out sas?
It's also PHYSICS. Physics don't care how much you paid.Lots of butthurt and excuses in this thread. For $60,000 and a twin turbo 2.7 these results are a little disappointing. Yes, it’s an off-road vehicle. Still doesn’t excuse 8-10 second 0-60 times in the 4dr. 2.7 SAS Broncos. That’s just slow
If it’s the one I saw, it was an Outer Banks without sas, but with 35s added and no re-gear. That was not reasonable in any sense.The one I watched was a pretty evenly matched with numbers and pump gas I was amazed as much of a dog as the 3.6 is it beat the bronco in normal and spooled up sport mode I know these vehicles aren't made for speed but my God if you're slower than a wrangler that's pretty bad
