I've had my 4dr bronco in this exact situation many times on the trail, the doors opened and closed just fine. I've never even considered frame flex. My tacoma flexed much more. This is the suspension
When the bronco released it was objectively better. Most of its features were better, for a tad more expensive, it was able to deliver on more. Also, the jeep sucks in a crash. No reason why it should flip on a front end crash
Same, I wait about 20 years before I buy a 'new car'. My 98 F150 has been a terrific truck, in 10 years Ive only done timing chains, an alternator, solenoid and a heater core. 186k miles and transmission still shifts strong!
@@expresscarreviewsThat's pretty much every car on the planet. Everything breaks down, it's intentional, so they make another sale. Or they wouldn't be in business, so it's expected.
No it was just a demonstration of some features for crawling and electronic diffs. The drivers were doing a tutorial and explaining how it works to passengers inside the car.
It's an off camber test. Nothing to do with the frame of the vehicle.. come on. Purely showing flex, which is not that great on any Bronco without the sway bar disconnect.
not the greatest articulation but not too bad for an IFS equipped vehicle. Still does not match the solid axle set-up of the Jeep Rubicon!! I may be a little biased though--lol! 2003 Rubicon owner
A factory early 90s f150 would if optioned with the factory front and rear limited slip that could be ordered when checking the option sheet for lockin hubs.
The whole point of the vehicle is there selling point os it is a alternative to a jeep (also Garbage) and a great off roader. So what's the point of owning one if you can't take it off-road.
This is an articulation test, not a frame twist test. Does OP know anything about off road vehicles? Toyota literally calcualtes frame bending in the articulation of their off roaders. OP NEEDS ANOTHER JOB.
@@LouiesTemple I can't judge too much, when I was a dumb kid I traded my scion xb manual for a base model ford fusion cause I liked the Ford more. That car ended up costing me about $3,000 a year in maintenance before it completely shit the bed at a whopping 55K miles. 🙄 Meanwhile that scion I traded it for is probably still going today. Just learn for next time, no more Ford (or any American car frankly.) Check out the subarus, super low maintenance and can probably offroad equally well to a bronco.
Well it's called giving people a second chance. A lot of people involved with putting cars together have records and never even wanted a job to begin with, and they just have to conform with societal standards and stay out of prison. So they put the cars together and make more money than most people on average.
@domenik8339 they have competed and beaten the market before what's the euro market gonna do lmaoooo, Japanese market is literally being carried by Toyota
The engine problems are a HUGE bummer about these cars and I mean HUGE. I truly hope they’re able to workout the kinks with these failing valves they bought from a “third party” company
Funny that Chevy engines blowing up faster. Even Dodge engines are blowing up. Hell every car manufacturers engines are blowing fast. Not just Ford. Best to have older vehicles.
@KReGaDeTH not true, my wifes 2010 JK has 38s on a stock dana 44 and front dana 30. My buddy has a 2021 Gladiator on stock axles with 37. Neither have upgraded tie rods or any axle mods and they do just fine.
@@JeepTrailsandBarbellsyeah if it’s a pavement princess it will be fine, but take it hard core off roading and there will be problems. Yeah I know you’re going to tell me your buddy takes it hard core off-roading (in a place that doesn’t have hard core trails), but yeah ok…
Then I bet you got in wrong. Also, plastic is never strong. It is supposed to be cheap. The actual car part of it, besides the one engine, all determine strength
@@tnc7399 two things.. 1. I didn't know there was a wrong way to get into a lifted car with no Handel's or step keep in mind im 6' and I struggled with it. 2. This plastic price was on the floor of the vehicle under where the door would've been, right we're it's meant to be stepped on. Not my fault, it's ford's
@@AXE_Blaster do you step on the body of the car in the door frame of a normal car? It sounds like it wasn't properly equipped not weak. Also, it isn't structural. Literally every truck will have plastic that breaks
@@tnc7399 while that may be true yeah. I'm not really sure how to explain it in words but if you saw it you'd see it was supposed to be stepped on it was there to be stepped on. And for most taller trucks or bigger vehicles in general I usually to step on the part with one of my feet
I don't want to take a brand new Ford bronco off-roading much less a G-Wagon. Unless I hit the lotto. After it's all paid off and I start to see the first little bit of rust then it's time.
Years ago I test drove a Land Rover on an outdoor track. The salesman had me stop on a similar obstacle with opposing wheels off the ground and had me open the doors. All opened and closed just like they did on flat ground. Say what you want about LR but that was impressive.
