WOW

they took a wrangler 4xe , a bronco , and a defender on the trail

2 failed on the trail , 1 of the 2 had to be left on the trail




they wont say which one.

EDIT they let it slip that it was either the wrangler or the defender that had to be left on the trail!

WOW

for those not watching this

they said the bronco aired down to 25 with the squatch is going to cruise over everything. They said it "feels like cheating"

They're also putting a hitch on it and hitting the IKE Gauntlet. That will be about the best towing test possible.

they are saying the bronco (2.7) is slow at elevation (5000 feet) and it barely beat a fj cruiser in drag race

So it was supposed to be live at 6pm, but its from pre-recorded video and they are editing it.

Whole thread is a fail

Guess what?? Video has been delayed to another day.

I'm starting to think that the Jeep fans are gathering around the world to make some kind of sorcery to delay everything about Bronco.

It sounds like it blew them away on the trail....great feedback.

It’s slow at sea level too.

Watched this (talk) video and thought there were some very good points made and can't wait to see the real (wheeling) video on Wednesday or Thursday when it gets posted.

As for the speed of the Bronco, guess I'm in the minority in having no expectations whatsoever of an off roader being fast. I know that to an extent they've marketed the Bronco as a desert runner, but honestly don't think I'd do that with a stock build. Only after installing some KING or serious Bilstein's would I even consider running over 50mph in a rocky desert area such as Johnson Valley, Flagstaff, etc.

Anyway, the Bronco is heavy and there is no V8 or otherwise speed tuned engine; that'll be the Warthog, not really the Wildtrak. On road, I think it's just enough before you get yourselves into trouble for speeding. Remember, these brakes are not big, stock.

Too bad that the Bronco dash comes off to many as cheap, but I'm not buying this for comforts, I'm buying my 2 Dr Badlands Sasquatch for suspension, armor, lockers, and overall capability.

If you want to look cute, buy a Bimmer.....

With the multiple incidents here lately - I'm putting my beer on "not quite the same as their Land Rover" but close.

Well, apparently the land rover had to sleep on the trail because it couldn't make it

Land rover keeps going backwards.

Land rover keeps going backwards.

Sadly yes, because it was a legend brand name.

Catastrophic break downs and Land Rover, name a more iconic duo

Other than Webasto and MIC tops of course
