Crawling Video & Pics: 2.7L and 2.3L Badlands Sasquatch Broncos

The articulation looks pretty bad honestly. Kinda reminds me of a lifted Subaru offroad. Hopefully that's not the case.

My first thought on the video. The front looks better than I imagined for IFS but the rear I expected more. Still, overall not bad for stock.

There’s a huge gap between the berm and the rock rails showing me it’s not deep at all. Compared to the twist ditch of the tremor drive.

I don't have experience with it but perhaps as a compromise you can get a set of quick disconnect pins for the front sway. Way less convenient than the hydraulic disco on the Badlands but much safer than going without a sway at higher speeds.

Yeah I got tired of disconnecting them so I tossed them & never regretted it, but once again they were solid axles.

How do we know that's not the Badlands 4-Door?

We don't, but it would be nice to know for sure. And if that is the badlands, I have to wonder if I going down the right rabbit hole.

It doesn't have the HD bumper, so it's likely another trim.

Edit: Looks like I was wrong about the HD bumper. The fog lights threw me off. Apologies.

Guys, It make no difference, how high the wheels are off the ground... when you got locking diffs..
thats what they do. keep you pulling thru.

That is my whole point. You are going to want to option both front & rear lockers for this vehicle IF that is the "Flag ship articulation" Unless you enjoy going gonzo & bombing every obstacle on the trail which can get expensive quick

Got tired of hitting a switch? I don’t understand?

There was no switch on this truck, everything was manual, even the windows & door locks. & I should have never sold it

The Bronco does not have a rear swaybar.

Sure it does, but that's not what the parts are called.

Wheel contact? What are your thoughts on that rear wheel air time?

Hard to actually tell from the clip, but it doesn't look like a lot of rear wheel droop. Looking at all the stuff hooked to the rear axle, I guess I can see why. Front seemed fairly rigid as well. Not much up travel.

Aftermarket will step it up though.

 

[kodiakisland]

What would be limiting the articulation in the rear? It has a solid axle back there and I think there's also no rear stabilizer. Shock travel?

Could be the 5 attachment points (at least) on the axle.

 

[Richtor]

What is the articulation measurements? And how do they compare with the oem Rubicon?

One can’t articulate much if all you have is a 6-8 inch lip.

Wow uhh do I want a Bronco still? Cmon Ford, if you've got better footage just let it get released. Terrible marketing

good time for a review class. is the left front touching.

C'mon Doug. What are we supposed to do with 13 seconds? Tell these guys we want better videos ?

I bet that’s not the first time you said that.
