Water Fording

[pan-y-cerveza]

I feel like this was a big selling point around reveal time. The Bronco was touted to be able for ford through 33.5" of water.

Since then.... Not a thing. We've seen a video of it splashing through a puddle but nothing more. I assume that some of the pre-production trucks weren't able to go that deep in water but does anyone think that it will be the case when the Broncos actually hit the road?

Who is going to be the first to try?

Pretty sure that number was also for sas package only, everything else less

It’s Squatch, not SAS.
SAS is known to be “Solid Axle Swap”
Or this.......

This is SAS.....

No, SAS is a Solid Axle Swap and anyone who uses it for the Sasquatch Package just looks very naive to the off-road world.

But you perform a SAS to get a SFA. If you are using Sas as a noun it is Sasquatch, especially with lower case letters.

Uh, water fording AKA, getting to my house in rainy season. I'm your huckleberry.

Is this the “where to buy a snorkel for the side of my Bronco that I will literally never use” thread?

I'll be asking for the highest points the dealer can put breathers in for the diff and what not.

Not on this Board it’s not, you are fighting a losing battle....maybe years down the road if anyone actually does a swap on a Bronco, but this isn’t the FJ board.

But BadSas sounded so good. I feel lost now.

Water fording can be tricky. I have to cross water to get to the upper valley at work during the rainy season. But 33 inches at that depth the speed it flows at the crossing would push the bronco right off the falls. Maybe i will just try to drive from cali to here and see how it does.
