Videos of the Bronco offroad in mud park

[MaverickMan]

Ssssoooooooooo I went back replay about half a dozen times and stop, start, back, forth

Here is my take he approaches turn. rear brake begins to lock with steering input beginning to get tighter, driver then gooses the throttle make the front tires "dig" with foot still on brake, causing the rear brake to stay locked, hence the "dragging" motion of the rear end of the vehicle around the corner.


This my friends looks to me as though the Bronco might just get a selectable transfer case FWD, RWD, 4WD.

I'm getting goose bumps.

Is the modern equivelent of a twin stick shifter setup an twin knob?

Watch this video if ya don't know about front dig. its about 2 and half minutes. watch the first Jeep go through then back up. When it shows "front dig is awesome" watch as the scenery will rotate (It's gopro footage). no backing up just turn the corner then back in 4WD. That's why the suspension unloads. he shifts back into 4WD to continue.



couple of other notes. The Fun- Haven Ranger of Loren Healy has an Atlas transfer case that is 4:1 and has this feature I'm sure. Also …. I remember seeing Loren in an interview and he said something like I am an enthusiast and a lot of people don't understand what they are getting in the new Bronco. This my friends would be one point of that. IMO.

HAHA NickP …. haven't got to you yet.

Ask your rock crawling buddy to watch that video and watch it CLOSELY and ask him if he thinks it is the front dig. he should know what it is.





WWOOO HHHOOOO BADASS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, old school was twin stick. Dana 300 maybe, don't quote me, or maybe modifying a 300 to a twin stick. Atlas transfer case is twin stick.

Glad to see I'm barking up the right tree.


NO JEEP today can compare They might get 4:1 but don't think they got front dig !!!!

Makes that BIG Bronco ALOT smaller in the WOODS !!! as you can see.


GOD I LOVE IT can't wait to see more IT'S like a DRUG !! got the wifey talked into it, now get me in one that I can afford and I'M SOLD !!!


CHRISPY !!!!!!!

Most any old case can be twin stick. I had a Dana 20 and a dana 300. NP 205, NP 203, dana 18, really any old gear driven case. It makes shifting so smooth and easy.

I'd put a wager down that this is software, not hardware, doing this.

Not that it matters to me. It's badass!

Most newer factory transfer cases are control by a motor not a stick so yes it more than likely will be "software" in some way but what I am putting my chips on is …………….

one button locks the front, then one button locks the back. Need front dig, just unlock the rear. aka hit the button. The computer is not going to know when you want the front dig so a button operation for the transfer case would make more sense to me.

Jeep's reaction when they see the front dig:

eh, if you look at my post, I think I have a better idea on how to program it. when you select that you may want it, you hit the button. then, any time you go full lock in either direction, it locks that one inside tire, and provides power to the other three. s o basically, once you get off the beaten path, turn it on, and itlll work every time without constantly having to turn this or that on.

So is this a part of the adaptive suspension system (possibly named G.O.A.T)?

It would make sense to load and unload the suspension a the same time you vector power and braking around. Im sure thats what them mountain goats do when they got 4 legs of 4 different rocks on a cliff at any given time.

Gotta dig bick after watching that

 

[EvlNvrDys]

ok, who's the mole? Seems Fox News must've been monitoring this site as they too did a story on the "front dig"

https://www.foxnews.com/auto/new-ford-bronco-test-video-reveals-tricky-off-road-tech

They did at least give a nod to Bronco6g for the use of the render they show.
