We drove the Bronco back to back with a loaded Wrangler before we bought it. The Bronco was substantially better in pretty much every way except for maybe hard core off roading.
Premium fuel required for Acura. Kinda dampens any savings realized on trade, equity, and financing. Used to be slightly over regular in terms of cost, but now it’s gone absolutely insane. In upstate NY a buck or more a gallon over regular octane fuel. 😊Acura makes great vehicles, and I’m sure you guys will love it.
Very nice vehicle, Brian! I think your wife will love the new MDX technology. Honestly, I can't believe you're getting that much for the Bronco! Here in Minnesota.. the word around is the Bronco's are a bit overrated, so the deal you're doing sounds fantastic imo. Great colors on the MDX too! The quality is awesome on the Acuras. Congratulations!
Thanks Ron! Bronco prices have definitely dropped recently. We drove are lesser spec ‘21 for a whole year and made $6k on trade. Just 5 months later we barely got what we paid for the ‘22 but I am not complaining.
Hey PiPs, good move on your decision to bale on that Volvo. Since the brand was purchased by that Chinese conglomerate the build quality slash reliability rating has steadily declined. That MDX is a nice model but is basically car based with a much LOWER driving profile. So it will be an adjustment from the much more commanding view of the full size Bronco. By the way, the side MIRRORS on your new MDX really protrude. The crew over here noticed that in the lot line up. Does the "technology package" include motorized retractable mirrors ?!? If not, definitely a negative Yo ! 🚘🔍. 🤔
Thanks John! I was surprised she liked this on the best. Typically, she likes to sit up higher. I didn't really notice the mirrors but they do auto fold.
I tend to make things way more difficult than they need to be. When it comes to our vehicles. I thought the new Pilot would have been a good option but we had not seen one in person and she didn’t like the looks of it in the pictures.
Great choice I have a 05 acura tl with 208,000 miles on it and she still purrs like a kitten they are built to last great reliability highly recommend an acura
I had a brand new 22 MDX Tech in black and traded it after 6 months… great looking car and beautiful interior but I couldn’t stand the seats. They were just so uncomfortable almost like a “C” shape. Hopefully you guys enjoy it
Not sure if it was you but a subscriber did mention the seats being terribly uncomfortable. I felt they way with the A SPEC seats with the cloth inserts but I like the all leather ones much better. I guess time will tell.
Yes it was me. I hadn’t traded it at the time but I just couldn’t get comfortable. With the market the way it was I didn’t lose too bad on it, thankfully.
We just ordered our second bronco for my wife 😆. Ordered a race red base 2 door mod bumper aux switches and keyless entry. Mines a 4 door black diamond velocity blue.
@PIPSBURGH VIEWS its a pretty basic build but we're not in a hurry for it. My wife has a bronco sport and after I got mine she started hinting at getting one. We're gonna build it the way she wants it. Should be fun.
@@DGYtown congratulations on the Tahoe, they are super sharp looking! Yes, I need to get back on the horse and crank out some more videos. Thanks for the support!
That’s a great spec right there. We actually an MDX, which is a little older then your 23. We have 2016 Acura MDX. It has 82,000 miles on it and it stills runs fine except for some weird issues we had. I don’t mean to scare you with that LOL
Glad you think so! It was either this or a used advance package but I couldn’t make the right deal on a used one. Surprised you had any issues with yours at all, they are usually problem free.
@@PIPSBURGHVIEWS Yeah, however they were not too serious. All we have had to do on ours is change both front wheel bearings and its been through a few batteries as well. We had ours since 2018 and still going strong to this day.
The best car right now is the 23 Toyota Sienna all-wheel-drive 25th anniversary it's an impossible car to buy and it's a very good car for families and cold weather
@@PIPSBURGHVIEWS I got on the list 2.5 years ago. Plus my dealer is one of the tiny dealers that got lucky and an allocation. Very very lucky to have the car. ...I'm on the opposite coast if I was close I'd let your wife drive it. She's the only one I've seen that I know can drive. Lol
nice hope your wife enjoys it. good move with the bronco drama after that I dont think I would have bought it or even got a 2nd bronco. Cheers man hope you do well in the BMX nationals
@@PIPSBURGHVIEWS i have a 2012 accord coupe 165k miles runs like a dream...i've had it two years and so far the one and only problem i've had is the crank shaft sensor other than that runs like a champ,hope u enjoy this beautiful new ride
Congrats guys! Glad you were able to decide on something. I love the new MDX, looking forward to follow-up videos on it!
Thanks Matt!!
I enjoyed watching this series unfold .
Thanks for sticking with us!
I didn’t like mine - sold it for $20K over
Nice! We trade in our First Bronco after a year for $6k over.
Bronco is a toy. I even want a Bronco 😂. Ultimately, the MDX is a refined daily driver.
My wife still misses the bronco, but the MDX is way better for our family.
Glad Ford brought the Bronco back but overrated in my opinion. Doesn’t feel much different than a 15 year old wrangler to me.

@@PIPSBURGHVIEWS as much as I wanted to believe that, I just didn’t. Congrats on the MDX, I’d much rather drive that!
@@doggedlydetermined7022 Wranglers are garbage compared to Broncos - not even close.
When you said you were going back to your roots I thought you were going to get an ford f150.
I still have my '21 F150. My first car was an Acura, followed by many Honda/Acura products

Ours says minimum 87 octane in the fuel door but higher is recommended. We really like it so far!
@@PIPSBURGHVIEWS Thanks Brian. I thought premium fuel was required, rather than recommended. My opinion of Acura is changed a bit now.
I think you made a great decision. Bronco is cool and all, but the Acura is such a nice SUV
I completely agree, the Bronco will be missed but this is better for sure!
Interested in the interior layout and functions
Hopefully have a full review posted for you next week.

I'm not impressed by this MDX. All the fuss about this is unbelievable
It's just a really good vehicle.
@@PIPSBURGHVIEWS good luck with that but I strongly disagree
@@k.slater1797 Thanks, different strokes for different folks.

Your wife does not look that thrilled by the whole ordeal. Did you look at the new 2023 Pilot? It has a bit more room and is less expensive.

I have a 2018 MDX. 33k miles and the transmission is a little jumpy. I need a larger suz so thinking about the new sequoia
New Sequoia is awesome but they are hard to get and most are selling over sticker.
@@PIPSBURGHVIEWSI ended up getting a 2023 Chevy Tahoe Z71. I love it. I hope the MDX is treating you well. Would love an update video on the MDX

Love the blue! But is it really that much bigger? Can't believe you don't pull the Expedition trigger.. They're so nice.
It does have more interior and cargo space and much better MPG. Expedition is too big for our daily needs and I still have the F150
@@PIPSBURGHVIEWS gotcha The Acura is a nice ride Keep it for awhile!!! haha
@@10cpaul that is the plan!

Thank you, I am going to need it! I am glad the Bronco drama is behind us, pretty much ruined that vehicle for me.
@@PIPSBURGHVIEWS I was hoping for some mountain bike videos but we got bronco drama videos instead 🤣🤣drama free for this one you earned!!
@@wildman9364 I did just pick up a ‘23 Trek Slash, so that could happen!
@@PIPSBURGHVIEWS heck yeah!! I am still on the 2021 Remedy I still need to ride a Slash
@@wildman9364 it rides similar but the Slash definitely rolls faster. I had a ‘16 Remedy.
What did the broco get for mpg
15.6 with the 35s☹️
@PIPSBURGH VIEWS that's not bad I get 16 with 35s on my 5.0 f150
hopefully you paid under msrp market is tanking
We got it for $1000 off sticker and did good with the Bronco on trade.

Thanks Jeff!
you are going to love the MDX, it's a great vehicle.
Thanks, I hope so!
Enjoy it guys.
Can’t wait to see the delivery video 👍
Thanks, it’s coming soon!
You could’ve got a pathfinder, Rocky Ridge edition for cheaper
We looked at it, liked this better. Plus the MDX should be more reliable and hold its value better.
