Will It Make It? Pt. 3 | Chinaman Gulch in a 2021 Ford Bronco | Bronco Nation

[@bobbendt1698]

Mitch did a heck of a job wheeling that Bronco that day. Too bad you have to edit it down because there was a heck of a lot of great video taken by all of us and even some spectators in SXS were impressed. Being in the classic group yes we were impressed.

[@mikemontminy9070]

The stock Badlands is a formidable platform. We did some impressive things with them in NH at the Offrodeo. Glad to see the 33's get some love here. A Badlands on 33s has more wheel travel than a Sasquatch. A Sassy has more clearance. A Badlands on 33s rips backroads harder and handles better. Tradeoffs.

[@mitchellcreel7616]

Definitely the toughest trail I’ve been on in the new Bronco! Handled like a champ though and left classic Bronco owners speechless!🤘🏽

[@davidmandziuk8493]

Watching this ,....just made my decision easier. Was at the dealer yesterday, spec'd out a 2 door 2.7 Badlands. Heard that you don't get full suspension travel with Sasquatch., ...but get basically same suspension with 33's. in Badlands with sway bar disconnect and both lockers. GONNA SUBMIT MY ORDER . Saving 5,000 by not getting Sasquatch.

[@stormsturckow]

Thanks for putting a stock BL through its paces on 33’s

[@chaleowin7732]

I remember doing Chinaman in my 74 Bronco. Great trail. I'm extremely impressed this Bronco did so well. Can't wait to see mods!!!!

[@beas-auto-salescorp.970]

Now that is rock crawling

[@stage3motorsports]

Great to see you guys really pushing these! Can't wait to see what they're capable of with some aftermarket parts !

[@wildhorses4x4]

100%!! Bronco Nation will be doing several other trails in the future and we can wait to see how they do either!

[@205mikey]

Great video! Hope to see you guys on the trail when I get mine

[@HorsinAround]

Another great video Mitch!

[@wildhorses4x4]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@CJ-rk5eg]

Awesome video and results. FYI I dropped by my local Southern California Ford dealer. They marked up a hard top two door with Sasquatch package by $25.000 to $80k sale price. The 4 door soft top non Sasquatch was marked up by $20,000 to $58k. HUH? 😮

[@imagin916]

They are all being marked up that much, unless budget is unlimited I would just wait a year or two when there are so many being made you can grab a slightly used one for a good price or at least MSRP on a new one.

[@barford91]

I love this series great job guys but I feel like the video could be better. The angles of the footage make it hard to see the Bronco conquering or failing at an obstacle. Logan King with his GX470, now that is beautiful and amazing footage with all the right angles. Maybe if you brought along another Bronco or another chase and lead vehicle you could get better driving footage as well. Just a thought, love the work love seeing it, thank you so much for the content

[@wildhorses4x4]

Thanks for the feedback! We will definitely see if we can give a better look at the Broncos doing the crawling.

[@J_Madison]

..aaand this is why I'm not adding aftermarket wheels to my Sasquatch Badlands until the factory ones are beat to crap. No point in dropping 1500 bucks on wheels just to chew em up.

[@technicaldisasters]

I feel the same way. The factory set of tires are getting all the abuse and I wont swap em out till they’re worn to nothing.

[@OMG_No_Way]

Same!

[@offroadbandit]

Thanks so much for making these videos using a nonsquatch bronco. With all the sasquatch videos out there, it's nice to see a Badlands on 33's kicking butt up those rocks. Makes me feel great about my nonsquatch Badlands order.

[@wildhorses4x4]

100% such a great platform with or without sasquatch!

[@theaxeman8492]

Great video guys! Awesome trail!

[@alpinegarage8548]

Glad you didn’t mod the Bronco. It gives a true picture of its capability.

[@wildhorses4x4]

Definitely a more clear depiction of what the Bronco can do right out of the factory!

[@SEMNbronco]

if i had my Bronco it may be possible

[@off-roadingexplained8417]

Love the content !

[@bddawson24]

Great work! Keep it coming!

[@brandonr6563]

You could have tipped over a LOT more before it would have rolled. We did something at the Nevada off-roadeo that had it tipped over 26 degrees and it had no issues staying upright.

[@bchfvr]

Hey where did you get the dash can mounts? Great video thank you!

[@billp5424]

I ran the Chinaman Trail in a Cherokee on 31” tires........in 2004! It is a lot more difficult now due to weather and use.

[@wildhorses4x4]

We saw several Cherokees on the trail but most were running 35s or bigger. The trail has definitely evolved thanks to Chris and his team!

[@charlesford100]

amazing !!!

[@justinstory72]

I am curious if this bronco configuration can do Cliff Hanger in Moab?

[@wildhorses4x4]

Hmm...now you have the wheels spinning. The only part I'd be worried about is the drop right around the end of the trail. I took my classic Bronco through and remember it feeling pretty iffy haha

[@raymondfink9580]

Ya aught to do the McGrew trail, but bring a Sasquatch.

[@brentthibault3467]

I’m not sure when you use front lockers or rear lockers or both?

[@wildhorses4x4]

It all depends on the situation. It's hard to explain in a text box over KZbin but essentially, you want to use lockers when you are climbing over obstacles that may cause you to break traction. Generally, climbing over larger obstacles causes that break in traction. The rule of thumb is you can run a rear locker with or without engaging the front but normally you won't run a front locker without engaging the rear locker. Although there are some situations where you may want to, that is a little more advanced. The whole locker concept can seem a bit daunting but it's pretty easy to get the hang of once you off-road with a few experienced rock crawlers.

[@brentthibault3467]

@@wildhorses4x4 so if I can oversimplify, if it’s slipping, lock it?

[@julie-hq6xw]

does anyone know how much weight the bronco can hold on its roof when not moving?

[@JC-cv3up]

What settings would you use with a base bronco since it doesn’t have rock crawl mode?

[@davidliebmann4290]

Go for 4L and try Sand on the GOAT Mode dial. If you have Sasquatch, put your lockers to use if your tires lose grip.

[@joecaughey]

Probably “slippery”, as that will make traction control as sensitive as possible. Trying to stop wheel spin at its first indication. Sand will let the wheels spin more (from my understanding) then slippery as it is trying to limit TC from preventing the bronco from digging it’s way out of a hole.

[@F2FTech]

No need for the goat mode. Just put it in 4L and engage the front and rear lockers if you have the sas package

[@drapshap]

Real question- what if you roll a vehicle you're still making payments on? Will your insurance cover that? I've only ever off-roaded shitty little beaters that only cost a few grand to start with.

[@imagin916]

Insurance won’t pay for off road damage unless you take a specific policy covering that.

[@jasonthered77]

Do Carnage Canyon now.

[@노강희-d2h]

굿

[@deal492]

HOT PEPPER RED???

[@TheBroncoNation]

Our Bronco is in Rapid Red!

[@bryanlewis8891]

Finally someone doing some real wheeling in the new Bronco that is not controlled by FoMoCo or by some lameass reviewer wearing penny loafers.

[@bt5252]

I believe Bronco Nation is part of Ford’s social media arm.

[@jackbauer9347]

@@bt5252 Yep, make no mistake about it. BN IS FORD. Mitch is a cool dude, but BN is LAME!

[@ToastedTostito]

Make sure you choose a big dealership if you want to even have a chance at trying this in a bronco this year per Fail... I mean Ford
