Ford Bronco: The Off-Road Adventure Begins | Ford News Europe

Описание: We took one American icon, one vehicle designer, and one adventurous driving expert – and set them loose for some real off-roading* fun to show what the All-New Ford Bronco can do!

The new Ford Bronco is the ultimate off-road SUV for adventure seekers. With a host of engineering features to tackle even the most challenging landscapes.

The Bronco Badlands, featured here, is one the models with our advanced Terrain Management System with up to seven selectable G.O.A.T (Go Over Any Terrain) driving modes, a new high-speed off-road suspension system, heavy-duty protective under-body shielding, and 32” all-terrain tyres.

We went to a military vehicle test centre to put the Bronco through its paces over five extreme off-road challenges. This is a place where they test army tanks! Let’s see how our Bronco handles it…

Challenge 1: Big Bend^
An overlapping lattice of huge concrete cones simulates an extreme pocked terrain of large boulders and deep potholes.
Watch, and listen, as Bronco thumps over those obstacles . Robust steel under-body shielding, plus steel skid plates and rocker slide rails protect the chassis from contact with the concrete.
Putting the vehicle into low ratio four-wheel drive and selecting Rock Crawl G.O.A.T mode locks the differential and disconnects the sway bar, giving more movement across the front axle, and ultimately delivering more traction… Easy!

Challenge 2: El Camino del Diablo^
A fast, twisting sandy climb followed by a steep gravelly descent. Ideal for showcasing Bronco’s desert racing capability, with BAJA mode optimised for speed on sandy conditions.
And while we’re at it, the Bronco’s roof and doors** can be detached and removed for when you fancy a bit more air. No other vehicle makes this as easy as the Bronco.
Side mirrors are mounted on the chassis frame, so that they remain in place when doors are removed. And interior grab handles help your passengers stay in their seat!

Challenge 3: The Ozarks^
This obstacle of unsteady logs simulates driving over changing, unstable surfaces such as loose scree slopes. Again, with the vehicle in low ratio four-wheel drive and Rock Crawl G.O.A.T mode, it’s a piece of cake for the Bronco.

Challenge 4: Death Valley^
This 60% slope may look daunting from the top looking down, but our Bronco is as surefooted as a mountain goat! We put it in into low ratio four-wheel drive and engage Hill Descent Control. This continuously adjusts vehicle traction settings and brake pressure to maintain a constant, comfortable, and controlled descent speed.

Challenge 5 – The Everglades^
Time for a swim! We put the doors back on and took our Bronco for a little dip to showcase its impressive up to 800mm wading depth.^^
In fact, we could have even left the doors off to really show how versatile the Bronco is in water…

Disclaimers:
Always consult the Owner’s Manual before off-road driving, know your terrain and trail difficulty, and use appropriate safety gear.
** Removal of doors for off-road use only. See Bronco Owner’s Manual for detailed information.
^ Closed course. Professional driver. Do not attempt.
^^ Always determine the water depth before attempting a crossing and proceed slowly. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for detailed information regarding driving through water.
