Hi all!
I got the pleasure this past weekend to attend the Bronco Off-Roadeo in New Hampshire. I'll try to keep this short and sweet, if you get the chance to attend one of these events, do it. It was such a fantastic hands-on way to really get a good feel for the vehicle and what the Bronco is capable of.
I have no off-roading experience at all, I have driven small 2 door hondas my whole life, so this was pretty much my first time driving a vehicle off-road. While a bit daunting at times, I was incredibly impressed by how the stock Bronco handled some extreme conditions. Definitely made me more excited than ever to get one of these in the driveway.
A few notes!
- All vehicles at this event had the 2.7 engine, and (obviously) automatics.
- Every vehicle besides the one I drove had the sasquatch package. I definitely was struggling more than the other drivers since I had the stock 33" badlands A/T tires, though I was also the last person behind the other Broncos, so the trails were getting beat up before I reached them.
- The Marine grade vinyl seats were incredibly comfortable, very happy about that.
- The difference the locking differentials made in certain situations with a touch of a button was simply incredible. Super impressed with how easy it was to use.
- Trail turn assist was awesome.
- I drove both the 4 door and 2 door, and honestly the 4 door didnt feel as big as I feared it would coming from a small car owner. I have a 2 door on order, but the 4 door was just as easy and smooth to drive as the 2 door.
All in all, the staff at the event truly were incredible in helping you guide your way around the trails. Had a total of nearly 6 hours of driving behind the wheel of a Bronco, which was much longer than I initially anticipated. While I may not always be rock climbing or going off-roading too often to the extent the Off-Roadeo provided, it gave me great joy in learning the features of the Bronco and giving me total confidence that the Bronco can handle daring trails and situations. I couldn't be happier from this experience.
Alright, enough of the chit chat, now with some photos
