I’m a Jeep guy, but if they design a quick sway bar disconnect that I can throw on a base trim with Sasquatch, then I’m sold. Once these are out for a good year or two all of the performance off road companies will make lifts and upgrades. I’m excited to see one with a 3-4 in ch lift and 37s. Crazy that you can get a base with Sasquatch for 38k
I'm hoping jeep revamps their line up. Technology wise, the base jeep comes with a tiny 5 inch screen 7 inch with apple car play standard would be nice. Ac and power locks would be a nice touch as well. I like the look of the bronco, but I don't want a turbo, so I'm leaning more towards a jeep Willy's. 2022's will be unveiled in a few months.
@@DylanCarGuy the willys Jeep’s are great. Especially now that RCV makes an axle shaft that they guarantee up to a 37” tire for life that fits the stock front axle Dana 30. I was thinking a willys with 35’s, 2.5 inch lift and RCV shafts. Waiting to see how well the Broncos hold up though.

Do you know why the mirrors are not attached to the Door. The answer is obvious, but wondering if you know why? Couple things to add. USB in front window dash area that helps with camera hookup and I believe what you called a storage area in front of the gear shift knob is a phone charger. Great vehicle and a home run by Ford
I believe the mirrors are not attached to the doors is because in some states side view mirrors are required. Since the doors are removable, this eliminates the need to add aftermarket mirrors like the wrangler does.
@@4x4nerd80 Correct. When the mirrors are attached to the doors. You lose them on the Wrangler when removing the doors. Not an issue with the Bronco. The USB under the windshield that was overlooked in the video is the perfect location for camera gear. I believe that Bronco also has a phone charging pad in front of the rotary shift knob.
Can you review a bronco base 2 door with the 2.7eb? Dont need to spend $55k+ on an off road toy. Can get a base 2 door 2.7 for $33-39k depending on if you opt for the sasquatch pack or not.
Nice to see that Ford put cupholders in the rear. Just a month ago, there were no rear cup holders. That was a big mistake, glad Ford corrected it. Nice review once again. Thanks. 👍
POWER SEATS? WOOOOOOW SOOOO COOL ! (SARCASTIC). JEEP WRANGLER DOESN'T HAVE THAT BUUUUUT WRANGLERS DO HAVE AC VENTS FOR THE REAR SEATS ! . Why in hell im gonna pay 50k for A VEHICLE with out rear AC vents? I dont want my kids to suffer! 🤮🤦♂️.
@Ben Hardy if someone else was purchasing the Bronco for you which model would you choose? Why? Automatic or manual if you choose a model that offer both?
Love this follow up to the big bend at Ed Kenely, I went and drove that one after your vid and it was epic. Although I would not recommend anyone put those MT tires on theirs if they fancy a smooth ride on street. Pretty rough and noisy with those MT’s they added. For anyone that cares the Bronco did not ride as smooth as my 15 Jku on 37” Falcon at3w’s with Falcon 3.3’s. It was a big question of mine.
@@BenHardyCars I think a better comparison might be the Rubicon Recon edition that nets you 35 inch tires from the Factory like you can get from Ford on the Bronco.
This is a First Edition, is every possible option plus a little extra for the badge. Prices are comparable to a Wrangler in similar trims. You can't actually get a First Edition anyway, they are all sold out.
It's impossible to get a First Edition, that one is certainly sold already. You should have gone through all the actual specs that make the car special instead of looking at the leather seats for 10 minutes.
@@andywuich6169 I owned a couple. Driven in quite a few dozen more for work purposes. They suck.

I love the look of the outside. Inside, I gotta say meh, a bit boring. Jeeps feel more unique and fun on the inside. Fact that rear seats don’t fold flat though is the killer for me.
Everything about the bronco seems better than the jeep except for the engine options. I'm tired of ford shoving ecoboost down everyone's throats. How hard is it to put a NA V6 as a base engine and V8 as an upgrade? I love ecoboost engines but when it comes to a B.O.F. 4wd suv, they need to have bigger engine thats suited for size of the vehicle
Tho it would be nice to have more engine options it's not like these engines aren't good, they have plenty of power for what it does and rival even the big engines that other companies shoe horn into their products to make the same power more or less, get similar gas more or less, yet be either heavier or not good overall. Ford has come a long way with this motor and have improved on it a lot, it's not about shoving it down someone throat, why throw away something or not use it if you have developed it so much or if it ain't broke ? It works. I mean, at least i am just being fair here.
Th ecoboost has only like 18 mpg combined, why put a V8 in it where you’ll get 10. I haven’t seen any video where they complain about power. Lastly Ford is working on a V8 model
@@1nine8two39 the ecobost is powerful but it is working twice as hard as a v8 would to make that power. That means it will wear itself out twice as fast in terms of LTR.

Just a big miss that they didn't put a/c vents in the center console. They did on the Sport. I really think that's a mistake. If you live in a state that stays hot, like here in Texas, for close to half the year not having the rear vents in the console or an option for ventilated seats is a screw up in my opinion. I've seen videos where the reviewer is in a Bronco with the vinyl or leather seats and tops off, and those seats just get blazing hot. Unfortunately there's no way to cool those rear seats off, unless you put towels down or something. I think there are vents on the floor under the front seats but I don't think that's going to circulate. I've had vehicles with vents like that and are OK when it gets cold and you want to warm up your toes. Hopefully Ford will take care of that in the first design tweak because being a parent of 3 young kids, it sucks that they would have to sit back there with no air. Honestly that's the reason I'm not going to buy one and it sucks because I love the way they look.
@@mechmat12345 Well blah blah... it kept me from buying a Chevy truck for years. So me not buying something based on a feature that's in almost every full sized vehicle now is my fault?
About $62k. But first edition RSVPs are full. The next best thing is a wild-track trim which fully loaded comes in at just under $60k msrp… that is if you can find one at a dealership without any sort of markup/market adjustment…

Where are other key features for basic engine maintenance, in the engine bay? Is the rear wiper blade big enough? We could go on and on here but ya all get the point.
