Attached below is one of the first videos which capture the Bronco drive/ride experience gathered by media personnel during Bronco Day on August 13, 2020. The Ford imposed restriction on sharing this information was lifted at 6:00AM EST, August 18, 2020. (This morning!) Yippee! Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the ride.

This will be a big day, I think. Already a number of videos and articles to digest.

Notable is how much everyone liked the Sport. Ford will sell a boatload of those.

Omg now I want a badlands. Just take my money ford. I can eat ramen for a while. ?

Very surprising there are only a couple of videos out post embargo 6am ET, so far.

Yay. Seems like it's going to be a bronco day. The initial rides seem to be pretty positive. Can't wait to see more reviews

Where is the parking brake on the manual trans version? When starting from a stop on a hill, I typically apply the parking brake with my hand, and then ease off the parking brake as I engage the clutch and feather the throttle. Anyone know how will this process be accomplished on the new Bronco with manual trans?

Looks like I'm not getting much work done today...

I'm really impressed by the comments on the Sport as well, and it can take a 1" lift, I wonder if my wife will notice if I lift her Sport

The Bronco Sport can rocket over the same broken terrain that had me bouncing all over the interior of the larger two-door Bronco, but it registers barely a chatter or jostle making it through the wheels, suspension and chassis. It’s astonishingly composed off-road at higher speeds, charging through deep sand without fail like a dune buggy...

...especially after Ford showed that the SUV could also sport yet another inch of lift and even more aggressive 31-inch tires on a concept version.

While the bigger two-door and four-door Broncos are meant to be the company’s ultimate off-roader, don’t think that the smaller Bronco Sport isn’t capable, too. Well, this one is even more capable: Ford started with the top Badlands trim and adds a 1-inch lift kit plus 31-inch BFGoodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM3 tires. Ford Performance by Rigid LED off-road driving lights are mounted to a front “nudge bar,” while a Yakima LockNLoad Platform roof rack sports off-road gear mounts with equipment including a high-lift jack kit, Ford Performance recovery boards and jerry cans for extra fuel.

Consistent theme: "Ford urged us to avoid paying too much attention to the parts and materials used in either truck’s interior, stressing the fact that they were effectively pre-production prototypes without all of their final, production-spec parts."

I'm guessing the Post Office must have lost a shipment of final interior parts & Velocity Blue paint

Lots of information to go through today haha

Ask yourself this @North7 , has she noticed an inch before?
I think you're safe ?
