I think the most relevant thing I got out of this video was being able to disconnect the sway bar in 4H, whereas in the Rubicon it must be in 4L. Unless you get a Tazer, but that's not the point.

The Rubicon sway bar disconnects in 4H.

If you went to Off-rodeo you’d know it’s not a parlor trick. It’s really impressive unlocking it on three wheels on a trail in the real world.
Can confirm

this is well done and very educational for a lab like demo....but i would prefer to see a real life test where you can use momentum and technique to push through the limits to see if there really is a significant difference....im not the type to ever push my 40k rigs to these extremes so unnecessary for my requirements....but interesting!!

I'd agree with this. In general, without cameras, the visibility in the Bronco is kindof poor. I haven't been in a Jeep in a long time, it wasn't great there either, but definitely a little better.
I keep hearing complaints about the Bronco's visibility which is troubling to me. I still haven't been in one or test driven it yet but poor visibility is a 100% deal breaker for me. What kind of Wrangler have you been in with poor visibility? One that has a 40" tire as a spare blocking the rear view? Every Wrangler I have been in has had some of the best visibility in any vehicle I've been in and my current JL Rubicon couldn't get much better than it is.

most of this is pissing for distance and will affect only about 10% of users and the other 90% will use it once per year.
But is fun to discuss until our kit arrives....

Came across this, first one I've seen someone actually take this up on the ramp and measure the articulation.

Summary of RTI figures by @Spooled

522 with the sta-bar connected
648 disconnected
Compared to others he has tested
KDSS Equipped 4Runner: 555
KDSS equipped Land Cruiser: 661
Ford quotes the standard 2-Door Badlands as having an RTI score of 700.

This had been done and posted well over a year ago, curious how the production vs pre-production stack up now. Will have to do some digging.

I pretty much ran the NV rodeo disconnected the whole time in a BL and had fun watching the Wildtrak in front of me run on 3 wheels. Also as far as sightlines since we didnt have 360, I used the hood risers as a reference point and it worked well, that is why they are there.

Hummm find a way to go drive one before you get yours or you will be disappointed

Bronco only problem seeing is when your on a huge hill climb them you have to use the front camera to see.
