Pics: Badlands Swaybar Reconnects at 20 MPH (Broncos Spotted Off-Road With Nomad Outfitters)

[BroncoBoy22]

Bronco prototypes off-roading in Colorado.

By @nomadoutfitters:

"Pretty cool morning to be vehicle testing right along with Ford. It was a pleasure sharing the trail with them as their team from Michigan was testing the transmissions in the new Bronco. Have to say well done to Ford, and we’re pretty excited to help mod out a few customer Broncos when they’re available."

I love seeing these things out testing in the open after so many camo’d pics.

Extra dark windshield on that 1st pic. Is that a clay model out on the trails !?

nice find

Seems like a good idea. If you forgot to reconnect and went out on a highway (especially curvy ones up in the mountains like where I go) it might be a bit bottom-clenching.

Really need to see more about how this system works. I mean, you could be hung up or treading slowly with wheels spinning. I assume it would re-engage at 20mph and also level, meaning you're probably cruising on decent ground. But it can disengage at any time (like to see how that works) so does it also re-engage at any time/flex /position?

Thanks! Answers 1 of my questions. Just hope the lockers can go to a higher speed.

Great info. Thanks for the update.

315 miles to E on 7/8 tank... works out to approx 360 mile range in full tank.

If this is the 4 door that’s a 20.8 gallon tank, which works out to 17.3 mpg.

If it’s the 2 door, 16.9 gallon tank works out to 21.3mpg.

Obviously there’s a lot of room for compounding errors here...

::EDIT::

Looking at all the pictures, looks like it’s the 4-door... and 17.3 mpg seems totally expected for a vehicle like this.
