I wonder how long it would take to see our first Bronco mishap images

Absolutely within the first few days. There's going to be a whole bunch of people with no experience ever being off pavement who suddenly think they can go ANYWHERE because they have fancy electronics. Just like the focus RS owners who thought drift mode would make them a drift champion.

I foresee a lot of tire chirping noises coming from people in Sasquatched Broncos who've never owned a vehicle with locking differentials. Hey let's see what these buttons do.... tries to turn a corner in town with both diffs locked and wheel is violently jerked out of their hands, and crashes head on into light pole.....

they are going to be using trail(re:2 lane road) turn assist to do tight u-turns

Hopefully none share the same fate as these Dodge Demons:

I could definitely see that too lol. I really hope Ford installs an idiot proof safety mechanism that will automatically disengage the locking diffs if speed exceeds somewhere between 5-10 mph.

They likely will, they do on the F series. It's either 20 or 25 mph and that rear e-locker will disengage. Personally I would prefer they NOT idiot proof anything. Let the folks who know what they're doing have full control over their rigs.

The idiots will learn...

I hope not. I like to be able to tell my vehicle what to do not the other way around.

Some of the test mules and demo trucks are looking like they've been through a few mishaps.

I guess they'll only make that mistake once lol. But dang, that would be a very expensive mistake.

For some reason I thought this video came out much sooner than Sep, but it was definitely within a couple months of the RS coming out.

Still one of my favorites:

It's a car/truck, anything can be fixed, though not everything is economical to fix...

It won't be long until YouTube will be filled with videos of fools that watched the Ford trailers, and thought "I can do that". Life's tough, it's a lot tougher when you're stupid.

Well my wife will be driving hers home when it gets here and she has about 15 minutes of opportunity from the dealership.

My idiot sister in law once crashed a Q5 on a test drive. That's our family record for dumb driving.
