I totally get how everyone says the Bronco isn't a 0-60 vehicle, and it is not, but since the HP wars became a thing again after the 90s it only makes sense that we compare our vehicles performance, and the best way to do that is with numbers, these numbers don't have any relevance to wanting to drag race the vehicle or not - it's just data. I wouldn't buy a twin turbo v6 if it was going to be a dog going up a long highway climb, or so slow off the line that I can't get out of the way of traffic in a dangerous situation. And since most of us can't test drive them yet numbers and data are the only numbers we can vicariously live through. Comparing a Bronco 2.7, with the bash plates, 35s, and all the other off road goodies, can only be fairly compared to a similar vehicle of which none in North America is currently made. Now when Jeep does have their extreme recon package on the road on a non 392 Jeep with a full bash plated kit, then we can compare apples to apples I think.
One of the closest actual comparisons that comes to mind for the Bronco is the Lexus GX460 with the 300HP v8. Lift that on 35s with bash plate and see how slow that is! Similar weight, power, etc. but will be slower than the new Bronco fully kitted. Also look on the Wrangler forums and see how slow Wrangler JLURs are lifted on 35s or 37s. So slow they won't post about it! The Bronco 'squatched should be really good for what it is and if it's not I'm gonna get a Wrangler 392 or swap out for the Raptor version whenever that becomes available.
