“Survivorship Bias”

The ones who didn’t survive aren’t here to talk about it.

Had my 72 (not stock) Bronco topped out at 117 mph. It didn't feel sketchy, but what did I know at 20 years old.

 

[Guidr3]

117mph any film to confirm?

Show Me The Tape.

117mph any film to confirm?

Oh yeah, I had my 40 year old iphone on record, I'll see if I can find the vid.
The EB speedo only goes to 100 mph, my needle was pointed almost straight down; approx 117
While you're in a state of disbelief; I'll add; on dry pavement it could pull the right front tire off the ground if you launched it.

Ole Skool you the man!

Steady state highway I had mine up to about 80 with flexy 3.5 lift, 33's, no top/doors
and no sway bars. Not something I'd want to do a lot, but it wasn't as horrible as I thought.

That was stock 302/4bbl/intake/headers/duals, stock 3.5 gear, T-18 4spd, sea level, flat 2 lane highway
and I don' think it had that much more in it really. That brick sucks a lot of power on the
highway at higher speeds.

And I can pull a wheelie with a skidsteer if I lift the bucket a little bit

Had a buddy swerve to miss a deer and rolled in a field. The roll over didn't hurt him, but the tool box, handyman, and elk antlers darn near killed him.
By the way......don't grab the roll bar as you go over.

I’am sure Ford is aware of rollover possibility in smaller suv’s I trust that they will build the bronco as safe as possible.

Adding fuel to the fire, this is why I don't want my car connected all the time.
Hard to refuse "recalls" if they can do it 24/7 any time they want.

It's literally a $0.00 solution. Similar to critical computing, you don't allow an untested/unproven update.

Who says you're going to get a choice on the matter?

If you have to opt-out every time you get in your vehicle for other features, they can just as easily make you dig through menus and opt-out for updates before every shut down. Then one day you forget, are in a hurry etc. and get stuck with it.
