Thanks for the video, at 23:30 you imply that the shocks are more taut in Sport mode, this is incorrect, the Bronco shocks/coilovers are simple mechanical devices, they have no electrical interface or mode changes like the Fox Live shocks on the Bronco Raptor. They have zero interface to any GOAT modes, they are two distinctly different items.

Sorry to hear you donā€™t like your new Bronco. I am sure once you change it up a bit you will begin to appreciate it more. Hopefully, over time it will grow on you.
Happy trails!

Thatā€™s FUNNY and I am sincere but you make a great point being I was worried before I purchased my Bronco I would be making a opposite video. And would be bombed by the Bronco Forum since I tell it the way it isšŸ˜

Something changes in Sport Mode. It is noticeable beyond the stiffer steering response and higher shift points, it would take some monitored skid pad testing to be sure but whatever differences there are can be felt in the seat.

Obviously I am wrong but I assumed the shocks were like the electric ones that Cadillac has had for 30 years. Simple, magnetic.

Yes thatā€™s what I thought too but I never have done deep research and yes the Fox shocks for sure have that set up.

Here are the Bronco mechanical shocks/coilovers, no electronics, no magnetics or electrical interfaces, purely mechanical. Only the new Bronco Raptor uses the the Fox Live Valve coilovers with sensors, see link below.

The Badlands, Wildtrack and First Edition have the Bilstein ESCV technology (position-sensitive end stop control valves (ESCV).
