  1. Glickenhaus crushed Bronco again.

    While both are running in the same class, the Bronco is variant of a mass production vehicle, sorry they're literally not in any way an analogous comparison. This isn't like the GT, where Ford set out to build a racecar for Le Mans and a low volume production supercar. The Bronco R is just...
  2. Saw the Warthog Bronco Testing

    While it is "unique" the changes aren't that drastic, and frankly from a sequencing perspective the plant doesn't care if its a Raptor frame of a regular cab long bed F150. Frame modules are just swapped per vin. The Raptor frame changes are pretty subtle and focused primarily around reinforced...
  3. Ford is testing factory 37" inch tires for the Bronco (official teaser) & poll

    I have, I wouldn't bring it up just if I didn't have experience with it. I have driven both privately owned and mplated Raptors. They don't inspire confidence mostly because the performance is not consistent in my opinion. I have 35's on my F150 and while I can't speak for pad material...
  4. Ford is testing factory 37" inch tires for the Bronco (official teaser) & poll

    Idk, brakes are a source for complaints with some Raptor owners. Some seem to swap pads out away from OE pretty quick if they push their trucks, though braided lines are probably the best bang for the buck.
  5. Jalopnik's David Tracy and Sandy Munro Discuss Bronco vs Wrangler

    Cheaper for Ford. It would cost a significant amount of money and time to design, validate, crash, a solid axle option with the T6 platform. All while adding another layer of complexity to production, adding line space in plant space that may not have it or is better spent sequencing...
  6. Spied: 2023 Warthog Bronco Riding on Raptor-Spec Fox Shocks and 35" Sasquatch Tires

    I guess that 392 Wrangler is going to have to be built for sure if that's the 3.0H in those pictures...
  7. Jalopnik's David Tracy and Sandy Munro Discuss Bronco vs Wrangler

    As long as the OE charges appropriately for content and it's burden, it's not necessarily a bad thing; and it can also make you alot of money. There is no getting around the fact that type of complexity does drive up captial program cost, and cost associated complexity and sequencing. The pilot...
  8. Bronco Concept Design: What if it ended up like this?

    These are very early concepts. I am pretty happy with the current version, however all these concepts are 100x better than a rebadged Everest...
  9. Designing the Bronco R video feature. A look at Velocity Blue

    That's a new body, that's not happening. But the Bronco is set up well to swap out quarter panels.
  10. Designing the Bronco R video feature. A look at Velocity Blue

    Bronco Raptor Variant, that's what I am waiting for.
  11. Is FCA getting nervous? Publishes Bronco vs Jeep Wrangler Info Sheet Guide

    That's Dodge, they only build old Mecerdes based platforms.
  12. Let's overanalyze the mule undercarriage

    I wonder if that fuel tank skid plate is production, the F150, Ranger, and F150 Raptor use a heavy long glass filled nylon plate. This seems like it can support much more weight.
  13. 2-Door 2021 Bronco Prototype Makes Grand First Appearance, Bombing Through Snow and Catching Air!

    A wider track-with absolutely helps with roll over performance, especially if a vehicle goes through alot of light weighting in chassis components which negatively effects CG. It's common to see vehicle platforms that come the the US from other markets to get an increased track width due to Roll...
  14. Newly Spied: 2021 Bronco in Rugged Trim!

    21/22 Yes, It happened alot faster than the TR team thought. Ford isn't going to mess around with that profit center.
  15. Newly Spied: 2021 Bronco in Rugged Trim!

    That depends largely on use case, and definition of "out perform". The diesel's intent is to deliver mileage while towing. The ecoboosts are wildly known to be Eco or Boost. However even unladened the diesel delivers good mileage. When my truck was stock ~26 in town, and ~31+ highway was common...
  16. Bronco R Race Prototype Revealed for Baja 1000!

    What info are you waiting for?
  17. Bronco R Race Prototype Revealed for Baja 1000!

    It's probably has more to do with program timing than anything. It's just not ready yet.
  18. Bronco R Race Prototype Revealed for Baja 1000!

    Nearly identical suspension strategies, and very similar stampings. Could it be adapted? Yea sure, you can do anything if you throw money at it. But the simply fact is you are talking about a whole new vehicle architecture, then you can't build it the same way you do a Ranger when it comes...
  19. Bronco R Race Prototype Revealed for Baja 1000!

    Sorry I was looking at their unique cross car axle power deliver method in example 1, made me think of the TTB arms. But that extra 400+mm of control arm length is extra material, and it's extra mass, and alot of it likely close to twice the length of the current T6 control arms, which weight...
  20. Bronco R Race Prototype Revealed for Baja 1000!

    It's not the end all be all. However it's pretty efficient for the host of requirements it has to meet. Biggest issue I see with these setups are: - Packaging height - Unsprung weight and overall mass. Dear god do both of those setups take up real estate in the vertical direction. Roll centers...
