Why do people keep looking at pavement performance? These are dedicated off road trucks not sports cars. I don’t get the fixation on 0-60 and cornering on a truck with 35s on it.
Because it's easy to do and fun. Ever take a track or strip day? Even more fun when it's someone else's vehicle.
So many test are subjective, but the track can be fairly objective if the same people take the same runs in the same lane. Just fun comparisons
If this was real life testing, it would be done in a WalMart parking lot to see how small a parking space you can get into and how many groceries fit in the back, or how many kid toys will fit and still make it through the McDonalds drive thru. Those tests aren't so much fun.
Do I care what my 0-60 time is? No. Do I care if I can safely merge onto a busy interstate with traffic going 80? You bet. Did I buy a 4WD SUV for speed and on road handling? Not by a long shot. I care how it handles off road, but it won't be trailered to get there, so on road handling is good to see as well.
Don't worry, there will be some awesome top truck challenges off road that the Bronco gets put to the test in as well.
