We need pics or video of the bronco on these type of obstacles to show once and for all that the less articulation you have, the less stability and traction you have. If only one of the hand full of Bronco owners who have actually taken delivery was willing to roll it to prove us wrong…That one got my attention for sure , but we’re in the air a lot.....

Finally saw my 1st bronco in the wild, and snapped a couple pics...
A short while later, I finally saw one out in front of a dealer. My wife, who canceled her reservation, has expressed an interest in still seeing one. I picked her up and headed back there. Due to other cancelations, this dealer had 2 available on the lot. Both black, 1 a Base and the other an Outer Banks. They also have a Wildcat demo that they can't sell for 6 months. This dealer is selling the Base and Outer Banks for $10k over msrp and they have yet to allow anyone to test drive them.
Here's a bunch of pics. I took them before we went inside to get a salesman, so my wife could sit in one. They only let her into the Base. To be polite, I asked if I could snap a couple pics of the interior. The salesman politely refused the request, stating that it's policy set by the GM. Also, after parting ways with the salesman, I pulled my Jeep next to the Wildcat for a side by side shot. But before I could hop out with my phone, the GM (I'm assuming, because it had a dealer plate on it) was quick to come out and move it. And damn did he shoot me a dirty look!

How weird. Not like a nuclear sub or something.
Those tops are ugly. Just saying.

For comparison, this is a Miata. A car that is less than half the weight of the top-spec Bronco.Don’t forget this pic lol
Speaking of Miatas...

I'm thinking because I drove in there with "the enemy Jeep", so I was pegged as being a non customer. Even though it was my wife climbing around in it while I just stood there.
And yeah, there were a lot of waves for not being anywhere near the water.
The soft top was loose fitting all around, like wearing a pair of jeans 1 or 2 sizes too big.

Yeah, if it didn't run away the moment my Jeep tried to smile for the camera with it, I wanted to get some closer shots of what I saw. The lower a-arm chassis terminations are constructed of a thinner gauge steel than one would expect on a vehicle meant for high speed whoops and impacts. The a-arms are cast aluminum, and compared to the steel arms on my mother's Sante Fe, seemed kinda flimsy. Very obvious that the bronco design was finalized by the same people that like to quickly mention how few of these vehicles ever do more than campsite access trails.Don’t forget this pic lol

The "Wrangler" on the inner sidewall would've been another pic taken, if it didn't tuck tail and run.Wait are those Goodyear "Wranglers"?

Looks like that Miata has the same gauge steel a-arm brackets as the Wildcat. And the formers are boxed in to the frame, whereas the latter's were slightly protruding the bottom of the frame to gain height at the expense of weldable linear inches.
I sorta feel like I'm nitpicking, but at the same time, I've always been a big believer in the benefits of building something for more than it'll actually be put through.
