2.7L Bronco Sasquatch Ride Along In-Depth Review by Bronco6G Member

[SamG]

thanks....comes in thru radio speakers? ...even with the radio off???

Yes sir - some vehicles (I believe some models of BMW) have an option to turn it off.
but yeah, typically its piped through the radio speakers (most of which in Ford's are garbage from China now) and it doesn't matter if music is on or off.

how does the engine sound on the 2.7?

Probably sound very similar to the Explorer ST.

Thanks for the awesome review! As someone who is only 5'0 its nice to know it was easy enough to get in and the seats adjusted well

Retired now...from Siemens. At one time we made engine noise enhancers. The auto equivalent of 'falsies'

Funny sidenote: Throughout the event, there were a few guest employees that were getting "sick" because of the ride along. The Ford drivers certainly pushed us hard along the course and I dont think the ones that got sick will ever push their personal Broncos as hard as what we experienced. But just some food for thought if you ever have passengers that are sensitive to motion sickness; wouldnt want someone to spill their lunch all over your new Bronco.

That' what the drain plugs are for.

Cheers. This is the helpful info/feedback that a lot of the articles didn't communicate.

Well written description of your amazing experience!

I am now more than ever convinced that the 2dr 2.7 Sas + Mid is the way to go for me.?

If you saw any CG or 51 could you share your thoughts about these colors in real life please?
Thanks again for the great report ??

How is the visibility compared to the wrangler?

when i test drove a wrangler a few years ago i hated it.

I dont have any experience in a wrangler so i cant comment on how they compare but the roof was off of the one i rode so visibility was great. I also adjust the seat so that i could rest my arm on the belt line so from that position, i had no issues seeing over the hood. Even with the seats adjust to the optimal height for me at 5'3", my feet were still planted on the floor.

Your comment was about the Sport...but does the regular Bronco pipe in engine noise as well?

hard to tell with the roof off and wind noise

That's what the washout interior is for

As I used to tell people when they would get in for a ride with me ......................

Get in. Sit down. Buckle up. Hold on. and most important, Shut up. Enjoy the ride.

Some people enjoyed it and some said they would never ride with me again. HAHAHA. can't please everyone.

I’ve seen reviews of the 2.3L and the 2.7L on the bronco from this event, but only the 2.0L on the sport. Did they not have the 1.5L sport there to ride in? The 1.5L will be the volume engine on the sport since it’s the only engine available on 3 of the 4 trims. I’m curious to see if it’s reviews are similar.

Thanks for the write up. I am curious to know if the vehicle you rode in was on 33's or 35's and what your thoughts are on the difference.

Those jerry cans really helped show the color options but sadly i didnt spend much time gandering at them. I was also wearing sunglasses throughout the day and totally forgot about it so i didnt see a true real light representation but they looked great through my shades

That definitely sounds like an experience I wouldn’t miss if I was dying... I’ve been through professional driving schools and would love to enjoy the Bronco in such a way.

Watch out, it’s my turn!
