Up On a Lift: Undercarriage Looks at Base vs Wildtrak Bronco

[buzpro]

I got under my Bronco and also a Wildtrak. Also I talked with sales rep at Village Ford about his experience at Bronco Off Roadeo.




Also, I got enough footage at Village Ford to produce a few more videos. I will be a big backlogged as I am also going to the Dream Cruise tomorrow (After I do the Cruise in Shoes 5K).

I want see access to the oil pan and how a DIY oil change looks like.

I don't know... Maybe it's just me but Joe almost instantly irritated me. I'll leave it at that.

4 door base Sasquatch get skids?

Nice video. The carwash made me cringe.

WHYYYYYYY!!!!!!????? that is 100% a scratchomatic car wash that will do nothing but leave swirls and gouges on brand new paint. What kind of savage does that to a brand new paint job that (technically) isn't even fully cured yet?! shit makes me stabby.

Why?

Scratches on the dark paint, plus a little worried about the roof rack.

I will ask the dealer (Joe). I believe ALL of their new vehicles get washed there. It was pretty soft, not too abrasive.

I will see what I can do in an upcoming video.

This WT does have metal mod bumper and metal front bash plate but this WT does not have full bash plates.

Kind of odd, the base had metal protection on the gas tank while the WT had no metal protection on the gas tank. Can you option full bash plates on a base? I don’t know.

As seen in the video, it seems like a "Lego' modification, super easy if you want to DIY.

He is a very polished speaker, but also knows how to listen to the customer. You can see the first part of that in the video, but not the second. I have been very happy with his help with 2 purchases and one other that fell through (because a different dealer had the exact vehicle that I wanted).

also, did you opt for the steel protector under the gas tank or is that standard?

Nice video. The carwash made me cringe.

First I was thinking wow, soft top through the ringer like that? ok, interesting... Then I was cringing and thinking he needed to back off the guy and let him get through the carwash before he drove up in there, I didn't realize it was a stationary setup I was stressed

All 2 doors get a gas tank skid plate regardless of trim or options.

4 doors only get one there if the full skid plates are optioned or come on the trim.

A base, 2dr or 4, cannot be optioned with the full skid plate set. Only the front steel plate is an option.

Good info, I was wondering why the BD/BL call out for the under body skid plates only spec'd gas tank protection on the 4 door. I guess this is a good trade for the bottle opener

Uhhh did that dealer just put a soft top through a car wash? The manual specifically says not to.

It's ok they waxed it first.

 

[Mr. Nice]

At about 9:45 that is not a sway bar. Its a track bar.

Panhard bar...

There goes the warranty.

 

[colintrax]

Panhard bar...

Track bar and panhard bar are the same thing.
Like calling a circular saw a skill saw.
Track bar makes more sense to me since it maintains the axles "track" whereas I believe panhard is or was a brand name.
