Bronco Sport marching up Hell's Gate

like a stroll in the park!

That was pretty amazing. He made it look easy!

Was showing my daughter the video this morning--first time I had played it audio. Seems like it was the Fun Haver crew and Loren Healy was the driver. Ya know... King of the Hammers and Ultra 4 champion. So that may of had something to do with why it looked so easy.

But still impressive the Bronco Sport can do that.

People don't give the Sport enough credit! I think people need to take it on a trail before they judge it 😌

Yeah, I was watching thinking "that guy has definitely driven that before." Then I heard Vaughn and saw Loren pop out. Driver is the best mod you can have.

The sport is the most bad ass off roader in its class...

I was talking to the to my dealer’s repair manager, he said that he lifted his bronco sport and put the biggest tires you can put on it…and it’s a best. He takes it off-roading with some full size bronco’s and he said that he was able to keep up with them. Pretty impressive

I can just imagine the conversation the driver was having with his wife on the phone at the time. "Yeah, honey I'm gonna stop and get some milk while I'm out. I'm taking the long way to the store..." 😂

Yeah,
I’ve gotta agree with you.
Obviously it’s not the highly sought after Big Brother.
Im actually fortunate enough to have both a 21-BB Sport and a 22-2Dr BD.
I guess off topic of the op but from my experience the sport handles like it’s on rails in sport mode in switchbacks “I lessoned a Lexus “ in Arizona.
He passed planning on pulling away…
Nope 5min in , he slowed up to let me pass , I assume to grab a better look at what on earth was magnetized to his draft .
I do not and never will support reckless half hazard driving.
This was clear open entry & exit switchbacks, beautiful warm weather, no traffic, no weightless rises or suspension compressing dips.

As we were Cutting apexes , no drifting
sport mode actually allowed me to pull away .
Proper shakedown complete,
I allow the Lexus to pass in a straight as he thumbs up and shakes his head going by.

WoW ! That was impressive.
We pulled over and I had her run in sport mode the rest of the way out.

I’m a firm believer that everyone should know exactly how their vehicle handles.
I’m the uncle that makes the kids go out in the extreme empty snow/ice covered parking lots and Make them understand vehicle characteristics and recovery.

Yeah, Because you own one it doesn’t mean you have the skill set to accomplish what “APPEARS “ to be easy.
These are very talented drivers that have a great eye for technical driving.
Great Video !

Go SPORT Nation !

100% agree. It's easy to poke fun at the Sport, but having driven them off-road a few times, I've been super impressed. More capable than it looks!

Yes, you do get some side-eyes in the Sport on the trail but then you witness that exact reaction. So true on knowing your vehicle and knowing how to handle it. I'm grateful for people who teach teens to drive in winter conditions (and change a flat, etc). My dad would put us in a spin and make us correct it. Good way to learn.

Wait, what? Are you sure?😉 😂

Agreed. I was really apprehensive about having one in our group and I spent a lot of time worrying about it while we navigating some tricky areas. The Sport kept up.

Oh...yeah. Forget I ever said that. 😂
