Bronco Sport is a little power house - and that it seem to reset itself back to normal is amazing.

[@fullspeedfordbronco]

Impressive man. I’ve done most of the trails at Uwharrie in my Gen 6 Bronco and some of them are much harder than they appear on Camera. You crushed it!

[@John_Mack]

I have a Bronco Sport, I did not buy it to be a rock crawler, I bought it to be a mall crawler. Works perfectly at that.

[@FreedomToRoam86]

That mini-Bronc is a gnarly little beast!

[@bikdav]

It would appear so. I wasn’t quite expecting this.

[@KennethHastings]

You still make me happy of my purchase. If only all my rides weren’t solo. I could try more!

[@LackeysBeTrippin]

GREAT video!!! I love watching "underdog" rigs killing the trail! Keep em coming! 👍👍

[@beeel6383]

I loved this video. You guys don't play around! Those are some of the most relentless terrains that I've ever seen a car like that take. For what its worth the Bronco Sport did better than I know I expected.

[@BrunoPadilhaBlog]

That bronco took it like a champ. Well done mate

[@freeskierdude_]

that 4wd and advance track error happened to me once when i slipped on ice and was sliding backwards when in gear. it went away the next day and haven't had a single issue

[@Bikedueder]

Just bought a Big Bend today and already looking at a lift kit, and swapping the tires out. Of course my wife will say no way since it's "hers". The 5.0 F150 is mine, so that's fair I guess. Fun to dream though.

[@Bikedueder]

And of course, AWESOME video!

[@barrioAVstudio]

Hey All. Thanks for the Bronco Sport videos. I have many unbelievers when I tell them I take “Bronco JR” off roading. I think I’ll start sharing this one as proof. Yes, we have our limits what we can do but what fun trying. 👍 Hailey’s spotting. Suggest a Customer Appreciation Off Road run and then a big BBQ at the new shop at the end of the day. Or we all can meet up in Moab, UT for the Bronco Safari in May?🤟

[@DiamondDirtBikeDuo]

So impressive. More of the bronco sport please!!!

[@elduderinolebowski3888]

How many inches is your Bronco Sport lifted? Mine came with a 1” lift kit but I’m gonna add 3 more inches with my dealership soon so I don’t void the warranty. That sucker is a beast and great content! Keep it up!

[@marcopcord]

the trails that you cross with you bronco sport, its amazing!!!

[@carterrhoades9063]

Clean 1 owner highway miles

[@sokratzmmf]

Awesome video! I’m getting my Bronco sport back tomorrow after 3 weeks of warranty repair work.

[@jonathonsmith7694]

Thank you 🙏🏻 i love how you guys beat on it and showed everyone thats its a tough lil rig

[@CampingRandy]

Can’t wait for AWDFEST!

[@battles.digital]

That’s so gnarly!!!

[@Indeewoods]

Great Bronco conntent!!!

[@stevsadventures8535]

admittedly as someone who thinks the bronco sport is a POS, this was massively impressive on so many levels. i'm just floored at how well this thing performed on a trail it has no business being on. also hats off to you guys for the bravery!

[@Hutch_Davenport]

I'll bet these guys break a a lot of stuff seeing the way they drove that first SUV (Ford Explorer?). Things are going to break for that guy a lot with that... "driving style."

[@Feintgames]

What do you drive? Just curious

[@randalllawkin]

Bigger/wider tires bigger lift and someone make portal axles for the mini bronco

[@EugeneUlrich1320]

Yank the traction control fuse and it should quit yankin power..s550 mustang problems too lol even with traction control off

[@juliocavallo.315]

Baby bronco, little beast

[@phillipcoffman]

if I decide to buy a Ford bronco sport there's going to be at least a 3 inch lift installed I also subscribed thanks for the video

[@kylelutz2944]

What tires and wheels are those?

[@BasicPremium]

Cool to see a youtuber ripping through the trails I grew up riding 4wheelers on. Was the Bronco cutting power due to it being in sand mode? Idk how Ford tuned each terrain mode but I imagine the sand mode will try to limit wheel slip by cutting power so as to prevent the car from digging itself into a sand hole. An option for mud would probably be better in that situation as, im sure you know, you want to keep your momentum up in the mud and keep wheel speed up as well to clear mud from the tire treads. Like i said, idk how ford tuned the terrain modes but that's what I would expect the basics of it to be and would explain why it was cutting power when you started losing traction

[@hrg_tv]

I tried every mode. Every combination of traction on and off. It always does this. If it let me keep wheel speed I easily could have done this trail!

[@cptiii]

@@hrg_tvI’m sure you did but did you try to hold the Traction Control button down for 5 seconds? I thought that would completely shut it off. That’s how it works on my other Ford. Great video btw!

[@scupking]

The BS is a beast of a little SUV!! It's like the good old XJ Cherokees!

[@melissafischer7146]

So, the portion of the video where you lost the drive modes and the camera happened to me in the Imperial Sand Dunes in Glamis a couple of weeks ago. We definitely threw some codes and the same thing happened in that after awhile, the vehicle "healed" itself. Did you have an overheat issue at that time? We were at 118 air temperature and definitely did. Would like to know if you did anything further with the car? I had a stock 2022 Badlands that I'm readying for the Rebelle Rally.

[@hrg_tv]

Yeah it ended up being a heat issue. I’ve had no issues since this was filmed 3 months ago. Other than the 2.5 inch HRG Offroad lift kit, skid plates, and Toyo AT3s it’s stock.

[@Coloradohighcountrywheelin]

Did you air down? Probably not I sappose so you won't lose more clearance🤷.

[@61wanderer61]

Yeah , I’m watching and wondering why the tires aren’t grabbing anything. Even when my TJ was stock I could drop air and crawl this road.

[@lbjailer]

It looked like your skid was closer to the bumper than mine is. Did you install it without the spacers? I took a big hit and used a pair of vice grips to straighten mine back out. But I would not attempt a trail like that in mine. I take it off before going to the dealer for oil change, do you know if they charge extra if the skid is left on?

[@loubuonomo4094]

Mine didn’t

[@kc-g5764]

What was the end results? 1. Does the Bronco Sport a proven 4x4? 2. Is not good to buy one? 3. You do not recommend us to buy it?

[@cass753]

you reached the tires limits

[@texavery711]

Pretty impressive for a vehicle with no lockers on it.

[@carllovullo6602]

it does but its a twin-clutch unit not a real locker, it does the job

[@bikdav]

That Bronco Sport looks pretty damn good for such a small SUV. Would the current Ford Explorer survive that coarse?

[@georgelin8498]

New explorer wheelbase is too long

[@kennopalus]

I'm driving it right now as a rental until my vehicle gets out of the shop , I love the design of the vehicle, I just wish Ford would make a bigger version of it .

[@51AB]

They did. It's called The Bronco.

[@kennopalus]

@@51AB Nah, the sport is the only model that's comfortable to drive , they should've made it bigger !

[@51AB]

@@kennopalus That makes no sense. Then it would be the same size as the Bronco.

[@kennopalus]

@@51AB That's the point ! The Bronco sport is the most attractive and comfortable ride , they should've just made it bigger . The other two models are ugly and uncomfortable! I work at a auto auction, I've been in them all ! And , they're overpriced, including the sport model on all trim levels !

[@user-su2ql2if4k]

МТ tires and - ✌🤙💪

[@Truth4better]

Just needs big lift and bigger tires lol

[@Jor0716]

Yo that was Hella sketchy at the end!

[@sturomain]

Air Down

[@americandad5764]

Why would you ever need to put any vehicle through these unconventional tests? The entire purpose for a 4 wheel drive is for help in the snow or a muddy residential road for more stability. Driving up a rocky mountain side probably wasn't what any of these vehicles were designed for. If that was the case, then your ride home everyday would require you to purchase at least 100 cars per year. The Bronco Sport did alright considering is was on the Abrams A-1 Tank Course.

[@Willy12927]

Can't understand why people deliberately want to abuse their equipment. Maybe it's do to the fact that I have had to work so long and hard to get to where I am today.

[@Agent.K.]

A guy once told me: "It's a toyota, it can handle more abuse than this" ... 🤦‍♂️

[@Willy12927]

Have a Land Cruiser, but still I wouldn't subject it to this type of abuse unless it was a matter of life and death.@@Agent.K.

[@BasicPremium]

abuse it? theyre just using it, finding it's weaknesses, and then fixing it and make it stronger.

[@hrg_tv]

It’s off-roading. HRG manufactures lift kits and skid plates. We do a lot of testing to make sure the kits actually stand up. In the end the Bronco Sport handled it like a champ. Nothing actually broke, it just got hot. The skid plates did their job.

[@dirtycommtroop]

If only they just went with a transfer case and rear locker

[@51AB]

That was pure stupidity.

[@henrythefifth9993]

My Chevorlet Equinox is better than Ford Bronco.

[@TinLeadHammer]

The Bronco Sport is quite capable. The music is obnoxious. The girl is FAT.
