Yeah that sucks considering the folded seats don’t create a flat load floor in either model without it. I would like to think that the slide-out tailgate will eventually be available for the 2-door.

Are those the same drivers from before? It seems like Ford brought in their A-team this time... That or they learned a few lessons from Rubicon.

Gotta show it properly so that people can see what it does at extreme situations, plenty were skeptical that IFS just couldn't do what Wrangler SFA could.

fabfordeb Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Still love the new Bronco, but the Moab video of the Bronco climbing up the rock actually supports the SFA argument. SFA would have allowed the drivers front tire to drop down and be on the rock giving both front tires traction, while the Bronco did it with only the passenger front tire having traction. The front locker made it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front locker made it work. The fact that it still worked bone stock says it all. Whether something else would have worked better is somewhat irrelevant. They didn’t even air down the tires. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take a far better ride on the 99% of the normal day-to-day driving over the wheel being able to touch the ground 1% of the time on a massive rock. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front locker made it work. But equally, that’s at the absolute extreme end for the Bronco and kudos to Ford for still showing the footage when it could have easily edited out the bits where Bronco really had to work where the Wrangler may have had an extra inch or so. Its a great effort but as I’ve been saying for the past few years, the skill set of the Bronco is slightly different and while the IFS will almost March SFA on slow rock crawling, it’s in higher speed or more open running that Bronco will really show its chops over SFA.
