Here's the Bronco Sport impressively climbing a 44 degree incline at Moab.


















And negotiating another incline.

I guess this will sway some of the crowd that has been joking about the B Sport being "just an AWD Escape"
I am guessing that's a BL trim? (wheels look like the steelies but not 100% sure...)

Huh! THAT is interesting - so for off roaders here: what factors were in play here? Weight? driver's skill?

I know the bash plates are made to take the impact, but it was still painful to hear it in the video. What are they made out of? Can we expect them to rust after getting scratched and dented?

Looked like he scraped the front bash plate. Also looked like he could have easily avoided that.. he steered the passenger tire right into the lowest part of that rock. I’m an offroad noob but I would have steered either left or right of that rut..
