More Bronco hear say.

IIRC aside from one flopping they scored pretty close.

Fun fact. Sasquatch does not have crash bars to block the front tire from stuffing into the cab, Sasquatch also will not be tested.

I don't know that I could call good vs marginal "scored pretty close". Especially since if you happened to be sitting on the side that the Jeep flipped onto and the doors were off, gravity would cause severe injury. Even with the doors on, you'd likely be injured. Meanwhile, everybody in the Bronco could very well walk away.

If you actually read the fine print you are not supposed to take the doors off when on the road. (yeah, I know...)

Per the manual:

WARNING:
Do not drive your vehicle on public roads with the doors removed as you will lose the protection they can provide. This procedure is furnished for use during off-road operation only.

But while the Bronco was rated Good in the driver's-side small overlap crash test, the Jeep only got Marginal—"due to tipping onto its side" despite performing well otherwise, an IIHS spokesperson explained to Car and Driver

2021 Ford Bronco Misses Top Safety Pick Award over Head Restraints, Lights

The four-door Bronco outscored the 2021 Jeep Wrangler on an important crash test, however.

not exactly hearsay, because Lite-Brite actually took a new Bronco rock crawling.
well, in reality it was her husband driving.

If you get a chance check out their video driving thru severe weather when they picked it up.

I'm so on the fence with all these influencer types. Ford probably considers it a reasonably cheap form of advertisement. But I don't know many hard working people that would do any of that with a new 60K Bronco. I also feel bad for the thousands of working class with an order and their hard earned money getting sent back in line so these folks can influence us.

I will say though... the Bronco is a capable sum bitch in factory form...

she is a bit annoying to watch, (me being 68 doesn't help). the Bronco got most of my attention. (it didn't have annoying hair constantly flippin' in it's face)

If it wasn't full of electric gizmos I think a lot more people would be willing to buy a stripper for 20/25K and do that kind of stuff with it. For sure I would never 40/50K and then go beat the shit out of it in the woods.

I watched the opening clip, very impressed. It's pretty big and just zipped up that rock.

I'm not as old as you and find her videos insufferable, worse than other JKU social media types, who are all pretty awful

Any "influencer" is basically just the worst.

Saw a 2 door badlands(?) Sell at Mecum yesterday for somewhere between 70-80k if I remember right.

Crazy things happen to prices when something is essentially sold out for 4 years lol.
