With how great the suspension is, are you slowing down for speedbumps? My work driveway is long and has about 10 of them... Daydreaming of not giving them much attention once I'm driving my Bronco. Yeah, kind of a dumb question but maybe better than some other things that have been discussed here!

Little bumps suck in mine. Speed bumps and curbs, no need to lift.

There's a particular intersection that I encounter daily, and it's much worse than any speed bump. This spot has deeply cut grooves from cars bottoming out all the time. I used to cautiously slow down in every vehicle I have owned, but in the Bronco I can sail right through it! I've even seen people's eyes bulge watching me approach from the other side, waiting for me to destroy my vehicle - it's hilarious!

It's not a Baja truck so you might want to at least brake a little. Seriously though, no Bronco yet but I take speed bumps in my FJ a lot faster than most trucks that just crawl over them but no, not full throttle.

I go over railroad tracks daily that have caused trailers to come off trucks, I’ve seen it happen, speed bumps are nothing.

I find that the Bronco does better (smoother) the faster it goes over an obstacle.

Unless they are an extreme example of a speed bump I don't slow down for them even if I'm in a Honda Civic. Hate to see people in 4WD vehicles slowing down for them. Even in dually diesel trucks. WTF? Just turn in your man card. NOW.

I take them like I'm riding my Tiger. Fast and with a smile.
