We can see in the picture for the jeep have
Rearward breaking angle of 57.49 degrees
Forward breaking anlge 53.01 degrees
Driver side rolling angle 40.92 degrees
Passenger side rolling angle 48.10 degrees


I will like to know if someone have this information for the 2021 bronco?
I look and ...can't not find anything on it....

Rearward breaking? <tipping over backward>
Forward breaking? <tipping over frontward>
Driver side rolling? <tipping over drive side>
Passenger side rolling? <tipping over passenger>

Well, remember these angles assume that no energy is being applied in a given direction other than gravity and that no shift in CG exists beyond what was an otherwise relatively unladen vehicle. In other words, I don't see a great deal of meaningfulness in these numbers other than comparing vehicles against each other... The practical usefulness is very limited.

For instance, in the example above, both the forward breaking angle 53.01 degrees and rearward breaking angle of 57.49 degrees assume that no acceleration/deceleration is being imparted by the throttle or brakes.

I had mine at 20deg the other day passenger side roll. (The video shows it well)

And rearward at 42deg

Forward at 33deg

I looked after doing that and couldn't find the info.

What I can say is the little bronco that tells me my degrees stayed in the green I was trying to see if it would change colors.

Even with no speed ....
It interesting to know the solid axl might weight more and lower the center of gravity....maybe the badland is more heavy front and because of the sway bar feature....

But it still a good reference point and see if a dead stop they are close number .....

At 40 degrees angle you must feel straight upppp.

Nice pic. Let me know if you do even better and its not a challenge fyi....

"Max climbing angle before tipping over?"

Its a lot steeper than you'll comfortably ever drive, thats for sure. That said, where you wheel, and how you wheel may make that tip over point a LOT closer than you think.

Go wheel Moab or some other extremely high traction surface and you can reach the limits stupidly fast. Just a wee bit too much skinny pedal and over you go. But! But! Just a moment ago everything was perfect!!!!! Yep, it was. Was being the key word.

Go to 1:15 for a perfect example

Go wheel a similarly steep slope on loamy, lower traction surfaces and you'll slip, slide, and scare yourself into stopping your stupidity. Sanity will rule the day and physics wont smack you up-side the head. Well, unless you have a love affair with the skinny pedal and then all bets are off.

A lot of words and posts for “I don’t know “

Max I got was 42deg just no pic. It really wasn't a challenge once I had all 4 tires at 42deg it started spinning. If you look close you will see it gets flat at the top when I hit that spot it would just spin with a little speed if you look close at the night pic you can see we got some speed and made it all the way with the front tires on top. When we did the night playing I used the (One petal) it made it way more comfortable super nice feature.

Looking up was just fun but when I spun it around and was looking at the ground that was very uncomfortable.

Few more pics

I have concluded that this information does not yet exist for this vehicle

I agree a lot of variable could impact the result of tipping over....

I like the 360 camera view ..... straight up wall

I did the roadeo at moab i was very impress but it was 4dr . . .

I guess doing the same thing with my 2dr will be a different thrill climbing..... i will be more nervous with the 2dr

Mine is a 4 door on 37s.

Moab talks about shorter wheelbase taking alternate routes.

https://www.cruisemoab.com/trail-descriptions/

This is just my opinion and as you know we all have one. The Bronco is super nice in the fact you can buy a 4 door for the longer wheelbase but add very little lift to add 37s and keep your center of gravity low. BUT the 2 door does look better again just my opinion. As I said I went 4 door for wheelbase but added bigger tires to get my clearance back.

My opinion on the 2dr vs 4dr

I likw the look better of the 2dr
I like rock crawling better with 4dr
Long expedition overlanding 4dr
Regular trail or moab difficultly 1-6 ... 2dr
Day to Day 2dr

To me the 2dr win but not by much
Who know ovwrtime i might like better the 2dr for tbe rockcrawling ....

If you go to moab let me know i might tag along...
I am suppoaed to get my bronco mid december build date the week of the 15nov
