Anyone here now want to change there order from sasquatch to non sasquatch; because of seeing the impact with the crash bars ?

 

[AH64DB2]

So glad y’all weren’t seriously injured. I can’t say that about the underage drunk driver.

 

[Efthreeoh]

If they are BOTH going 50 MPH, that is a 100 MPH contact....

It would be indeed.

This is my Bronco. My heart is broken but we all are at home safe. I drove a Jeep for years and absolutely loved it. When Ford introduced this Bronco I couldn’t get to the computer fast enough to order it. I’m a 43 yr old female that’s not really into vehicles and don’t know much about them. My husband and son helped me pick this one out and after a year I finally received it. I was blown away. Everything about this vehicle is amazing. It held up like a beast. I received my Bronco on Dec 17th. Had surgery on Dec 21. I had only driven it a few days before I become a passenger due to my surgery. The surgery I had was serious and personal but to walk away from that crash with only 5 stitches is unheard of. God is good. Ford is tough and I will DEFINITELY be ordering another. I will keep everyone posted on the insurance and how they all turns out so everyone will know if anything like this happens to another Bronco Owner. I pray it doesn’t. Yes we really were going around 50 mph and it was down a mild hill. Not sure on the other car. Last minute swerve from my husband was an excellent decision due to my circumstances still healing from surgery. FORD has impressed me far above than I could have imagined. Man…. I loved my Bronco and can’t wait to get another. Impressive FORD super Impressive and job well done.

The Bronco's safety made sure the owners of this Bronco walked away to tell the story... hit head-on going 50mph by a Crown Victoria / Grand Marquis driven by an underaged drunk driver. Good thing Bronco driver swerved last second to avoid full complete head-on contact. The Bronco only had 300+ miles on it. The drunk driver received a cut to the head and was at least insured.

You have probably heard this a 100 times but seriously the important thing is that you're okay. The BRONCO can always be replaced .... in a bout a year or so! Sorry, LOl glad you're okay!

Yeah / this is my worry with the Sasquatch.

I emailed the IIHS asking the question about the broncos with Sasquatch and if they tested them since crash bars are not on the units with that option, and if they are as safe. I will post what i hear back if anything.

Glad everyone is OK!!!!

I still think it is a hell of a deal. I won't be getting it as it doesn't serve my needs. But for those that do, they can get the high clearance crash bars from Ford Performance. I know 4WP uses them for their faux-Sasquatch Stage 1 lift/wheel/tires package. I'm surprised they aren't a part of the factory option.

Glad you’re ok, and glad the Bronco does so well in crashes.

A crushed vehicle is the successful transfer of energy to the car which is not passed on to the person inside. If anything, one would hope the Bronco showed more accordion-like collapse than this.

What

Once the supply of Broncos finally stabilizes, Ford should seriously consider making a vehicle based on the Bronco, but not so off-road-oriented. Maybe lower, more sedan-like. But as similar as possible in the manner of underlying construction.

Such a vehicle could easily be the much-needed successor to the Crown Victoria. I wouldn't even object to them calling it by that name; and a Lincoln version as the new Town Car.

I would call that vehicle the base Bronco.

Well, the person inside is okay so it did its job. It also did very well in crash tests. Sounds to me like you're trying to put a negative spin on a positive outcome. They are lots of reasons you may not see collapse.

Interesting to see the airbags deployed, and how that system works. I didn't realize that, while in separate pockets, the airbag is actually a whole side wall! Looks like a safe, well-designed vehicle.

I don’t know, but it seems like a lot of Bronco’s are involved in accidents . Is this defect we haven’t discovered yet?

Glad you are ok!

Maybe it's the Area 51 colour
