More Bronco hear say.

On an open rear end, the e-brake won't necessarily lock both rear wheels, but I agree, it's odd that it was the inside rear wheel was locking up. You'd think that would be the one to slip the brakes with the additional weight on the other one. Possibly traction control, but if so, I don't think I want it to work that way. IMO, there was no real reason for that wheel to lock up in that situation.

Differential won't matter if both parking brakes are locked up.

It vastly improves the turning radius in a tight spot. I was using the differential brakes on my tractor all last night as I was using they rotary hoe which is kind of the same thing the Bronco was doing. Mash the inside brake, turn the wheel and around she comes.

Here is a guy playing with it on his squarebody Chevy, you can see how it changes the turning radius:

For a longer 4wd SUV it could be a gamechanger for turning radius on a tight trail.

You mean like when power braking and holding the hydraulic brakes while one or both wheels spin? The E-brake is less effective. Yes, one wheel can still spin with the E-brake on. I'm not saying that's what's happening here, just that it's possible. Looks like a traction control thing to me, but who knows, maybe they added another brake pedal.

Six speed with crawler gear confirmed...

There are a couple other things come to light also.

But this one is big for manual fans.

 

[85_Ranger4x4]

The C for crawler is a nice touch.

 

[Uncle Gump]

I'm certainly an automatic fan... but I'm gonna have to drive them both before I make up my mind.

I also read that while 35 inch tires will be available on certain trim levels... there will also be a 37 inch tire on a certain trim level.

This thing just gets better all the time.

They’re just teasing us... it’s never going to be released.

 

[Uncle Gump]

They’re just teasing us... it’s never going to be released.

It sure feels that way... suppose to be next month for the official release.

The COO was talking smack about Jeep too... Cant wait to see how it can be built.

If they offer a coyote crate package like dodge has for the hellelephant or the demon box. That would be spectacular. A full conversation kit if they can't swing the oem 5.0..... because of the econazis

 

[Uncle Gump]

Who knows where this one is going to go... the possibilities are endless.

I do know there will be one going into my garage.

 

[Dirtman]

Ill buy one in 15 years after they finish fixing all the inevitable recalls...

In 15 years it'll still have the same recalls never fixed, and no parts available. I have a feeling this thing is going to be a 1 off 1 year only deal if it even makes it to production the ridiculous cost for yet another mall crawler car they put iconic emblems on and try to sell for $50k+. With the turbo engine options I'll never buy one, and I would hate to see someone buying one of them used in a few years, let along 15+ years...it'll be in a scrap yard long before then if the only thing they can manage to do is put those lawnmower engines with hamster wheels in them. They're known for being junk engines, yet people keep buying that trash.

Im turnt up thinking about it.

Listening to my jam!!!!

I'm thinking you should tell us how you really feel about the New Bronco.... let it out.... you will feel better!

Why nobody will listen, they think its the coolest thing ever...until in a few weeks to months after everyone rushes out to buy them, then they're on here complaining about the very things that people like me have been trying to tell them. They'll just have to learn the hard way.

That and that new Getrag pile of shit manual transmission....good luck with that, the 5 speed Getrag in my Chevy Cobalt didn't make it past 15k before having to be torn down and rebuilt....maybe at least they upgraded the one in the Bronco to a harder plastic syncronizers.
