Casey 250 we at Ford do have a winch option for the 2022.5 model year on certain Broncos from the factory that is a fact not an opinion but straight fact because I work at the factory that builds the Bronco.
Overall I'm just glad Ford is giving Jeep some competition in this segment. This only means Jeep finally has to go back to the drawing board with their next Wrangler and step things up significantly to try and overrule Ford, then Ford will do the same in return and so on and so forth, constantly giving us better and better off-road king choices.
When the bronco raptor comes out its game over and everyone has to play catch up
@@elchucofried5683 catchup to what ? Breaking tie rod ends and being limited Light off-roading ?
@@logo4041 stock Bronco badlands entered baja races and got podium finishes.... 🤡
@@elchucofried5683 There's already a V8 Wrangler, and a V8 Defender, so um no.
@@elchucofried5683 Calling B.S.
I like that two Jeep fans can still be excited and positive about a Ford - too many Jeep owners are simps and can't look at anything else objectively. Never seen this channel before but you guys have great banter and presentation style - love it!
Thanks! Im a car enthusiast, losts of vehicles to like out there :)
Great color, the color matched to looks sick. For a stock vehicle, Ford hit a homerun with the new full sized Bronco. Drives great, very capable, lots of luxury, great tech and it looks awesome. I'm sure Jeep will respond, soon, competition is great for the industry.
"Donut mode"
James Pumhrey jumps in: Mo powa baby!
The frameless doors are what used to be pretty much standard equipment on cars back in the 70’s and for years afterwards, known as “hard tops”. Personally I love it and was sad to see them go away in favor of frames around windows. I am glad to see Ford bringing them back.
I do like the doors alot. Makes a lot of sense.
@@Casey250 They do. There are some things I like about the new Bronco and some I don’t. Looking forward to you guys’ experiences
Coming from the auto industry frameless door went away for a couple of reasons. One they are notorious for wind noise (yes I know that in a Jeep or Bronco many are not worried about wind noise). They tend to leak as seals relax over time. Last but not least there were issues when the window was left in the half down position the window is unsupported and could be broken easily.
@@steveh1620 the mustang and the corvette have had frameless windows for a long time now. Longer on the vette. My 14 Gt has em and at this point it’s not an issue at all
@@MikeSmith-ey7ku Indeed. My C7 Z06 is silent at 'any' speed :)
Very much appreciate your video, thanks to both of you! Just got my Bronco Badlands Sasquatch on the 23rd. My neighbor has a beautiful Jeep Wrangler and I hope that we can get both families out on the trails. Cheers and looking forward to videos from both of you going forward.
Have some significant seat time in a Rubicon and owning a 4 door badlands sasquatch I love how quiet the low speed wheeling experience is and the 10 speed trans is magical. The Bronco moves out quick on 35's and DOES allow you to lock the rear locker even when the speeds are in the triple digits! The one pedal driving is the opposite of what you thought - you accelerate and then the brakes automatically come on, true one pedal driving.
You can do the same with the wrangler too…..
Having both, how do the interiors compare? I'm 5'10", 350 lbs. Sidestepping the fact that I really need to lose weight, the Wranglers just aren't that comfortable to me. My head almost touches the hardtop roof, even when the seat is at its lowest setting. I'm sitting very upright and feel like a proper Jane Austin woman. And my knees practically scrape the steering wheel and dashboard whenever I get in and out. And my butt and shoulders (which are rather large even when I was at 180 lbs in the marine corps) feel squished. Plus, the dashboard cuts off part of my view of the gauges.
I feel like the wrangler's seats need to be 1.5-3" lower, that they need to recline slightly instead of maintain that horrible military posture feel, that the interior needs to be 6-9" wider, and some things like that hard plastic holding the seat belt latches needs to be molded outward instead of straight up against the seat to keep it from digging in. Does the bronco fix any of these issues and just feel... more comfortable for bigger guys? As expected, they are fairly rare in my area still and I haven't test driven one yet.
@@rabidhellhound9714 I'm 6'2" and a big dude and fit perfectly. Knees have room, head has plenty of room, no visibility issues. It's tall but the interior room is fantastic.
Did you get the 4 cylinder or 6? I ordered the black diamond with Sasquatch and the 6 and wondering if I should change it to the 4?
If I recall, the 1-pedal drive is a mode to use the gas pedal on throttle and it will brake on release, to recreate a two-foot driving skill on both pedals us Jeepers have to do.
This is so exciting for the future of off-road innovation. I’ve had Jeep’s for the last 12 years but I really like the design of the new Bronco. I’m still partial towards solid front axle but Ford did a really good job on many aspects of its design
Id trade the small bit of capability for the better highway driving of a sas. Although my JL is rollin pretty good these days.
@@Casey250 well said. There has been some damaged tire rods, but usually thats people putting 37s/40s and doing crazy rock crawling. Itll be cool to see aftermarket
I’ve had 2 Jeeps & love my 4 dr Badlands. Rock crawling is the least thing I ever do, so the Bronco is perfect for me. Jeeps do have the superior hard top though.
The button in the middle of the GOAT modes is for off road cruise control. It can be set for .5 to 20 MPH in .5 MPT increments. It handles gas and break and works great. If you ever feel sketchy just apply the brake until you are comfortable and then let off the brake to start going again. I went down a 95% grade (43 degree) uneven slope using nothing but that. It was amazing. PS it only activates when the engine is started.
Great showcase. Marie and I agree 100% about the Jeep seats to the Bronco Seats. We would love a grab handle on piller to get in and 360 camera is what we made sure was on our second Bronco. Bronco Donuts are so easy and make for such tight circles almost like spinning a ATV on one spot. My back doors frooze shut due to road slush shooting onto that back lip. Love the Soft top despit -12F in my area.
This was fun to discuss!
What was?
@@Casey250 the pros and cons of the new bronco I’m guessing lol
Sometimes I think you guys are your biggest fans. XD
Great video guys! Very cool look at the new ford Bronco.
Got myself one of these too. Live in Colorado and do snow removal. Top notch ride, and 32MPG? Can't complain there.
Definitely don't wrap anything around the roof roll bars, the Bronco has curtain airbags!
So cool how you guys arranged for the snow! Makes everything more picturesque! Good job! Love the Bronco, btw.
I believe the reason they still went with a lever for the automatic shifter is because Ford offers the Bronco in a manual transmission as well, so with an automatic you might as well as fill that big manual shifter hole with a big, easy to use lever.
I like it
I'm pretty sure the majority of owners prefer a lever.
thank you great info , i waiting for more video with your both comments on the bronco
By far, the most comprehensive and thorough review of the Bronco I've seen to date. A couple of funny dudes
Thanks!
Excellent video! Thank you for all of the honest information on here, this is great.
I had no idea the hard top was removable l! Great video and fantastic details guys!
best Bronco review on youtube right now. Very well done Casey!
Thanks man 🤜🤛 we will have to connect up and chug some sparkling water next time im over
Thanks for the honest opinions --- seems like you like it overall. My wife has a fully loaded Badlands Sport and I love it so much I had to order my own Bronco (Big Bend).
you mean she doesn't have a bronco at all then. if you know anything about the vehicles, you'll know they're just capitalizing on the name selling a normal lame compact grocery getter no different than anything else. it's a FAKE bronco. props if you get a real one but there is ZERO comparison and ZERO relationship between the BRONCO and the "bronco sport" which should be called something else. they share nothing in common period.
We just reviewed a new Bronco as well, so your review came up on my feed. Nice video, thanks.
A very hard to discover feature. If you are offroad in manual mode, you can panic slam the shifter and it will go right past drive and in to neutral (useful if a hill climb is not going your way). If you shift more slowly it will lock at drive instead of traveling to neutral.
Nice to see a real review of the Bronco by real Wrangler drivers. I've been in Wranglers for decades but I'm very interested in the new Bronco.
Nice!! Gotta love that 12" screen! Thanks for the really good review! From a Jeep guy!
This is easily the most insightful and useful review of the Bronco on RUclips. Period.
Oh snap! You wrote out period rather than just putting a period. That must be it for that conversation
@@gunner4126 I mean maybe there’s other new reviews out there but I found the perspective offered from jeep owners to be super helpful. Changed ma perspective, broadened me horizons.
Thank you for another great video. I have the same Bronco, Badlands, Sasquatch, Lux package, and it's nice to see an honest review by Jeep owners. You guys don't bash any other Brands, there is way too much of that going on. When looking for a winch for your Badlands Bronco there are two things to consider; that is the grill camera and the Adaptive Cruise Control Radar. Most of the bumpers out there will require you to re-position the grill camera and some even require the Radar to be re-positioned because they cover up the open area in the middle of your bumper you have now. Rough Country doesn't make the behind skid plate winch for the Badlands Bronco at this time due to the radiator louvers on the Badlands, they may in the future. I purchased the 4WP Bumper and Winch Mount and only had to re-position the front view Camera to under the top of the bull bar. It works fine.
Yes those screws overhead are for putting in grab handles. I got a pair for a really good price and they look and work great. I wouldn't get the wrap around kind as there are airbags that would interfere with. But great comparison video. You'll have lots of fun with the Bronco for sure!
Im so glad you mentioned the head seating. I have sat in a jeep wrangler and that's one thing that made me shy away.
The bronco looks so sweet and i love the tech in it, curious how well it will hold up long term. Also stoked to find a channel of some local offroaders in BC!
Hopefully it has no Exploder dna....
we LOVE that BRONCO! no other choice at our house! The Bronco all the way!
That middle button on the dial is for one pedal and trail cruise control. One pedal is basically left foot breaking for you out on the rocks so you only worry about the gas pedal and when you take your foot off the gas it brakes for you.
I'm sure y'all have figured it out by now - but that rectangle in the front of the bumper is the radar for the adaptive cruise control -= that's why the license plate was installed so high - also going to add to the difficulty of the winch solution. Great Great video as always. Both you guys are very enjoyable to watch!
I love this video. Thanks for always bringing such excellent content......Loved the donuts you were doing the other day
Thanks Maggie!
Great video boys, thanks. Can't wait for my 2-door Bronco to arrive.
Just got my delivery date for my bronco.. February 20. Can’t wait as it was ordered last April.
I'm a dyed in the wool manual transmission and transfer case man, so I just shook my head the entire time they were talking about the transmission and transfer case.
Same, new cars with all the tech don’t do anything for me
I think the two door Bronco looks better. The ability to take your doors and top off, and take them with you is great. Only down fall is the space they take up to do that. Can't wait to see what adventures lay ahead!
You don’t have to store them in the vehicle, you can leave them home! 😳
I think the 2 door anything looks odd. 4 door Bronco and Jeeps look 100% better to me
There are strap handles that mount on top of the roll cage and hang down. You have to take the front panels off to mount them.
I haven’t had a car note in over decade. Willing to make an exception for a Bronco.
I digging your take on on this Ford SUV. Good work.
Nice to see an honest review from two big Jeep RUclipsrs! Great review! Oh, and I checked on a mirror assembly for the badlands with high package..... $1600 CDN
😳😳😳
OUCH!
$1600! 😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐😐
Great video! I love the honesty, best review on RUclips of the Bronco and how it compares to the Jeep. Really looking forward to you all taking it on trails.
Question - maybe I missed this on your links but what compressor are you and/or Shaun using to air up? Looking for a portable one.
We use ARB twin compressors mounted in our Jeeps.
I turn the headrest in my van around 180 degrees. Still get the whiplash protection but very comfortable.
Great video guys. Picked my Badlands Sasquatch a couple weeks ago and looking forward to getting it muddy. Let me know if you’re down in the lower mainland and we can connect on the trails. Cheers
Congrats!
Casey 250 & Other Great Guy, this vid is exactly what I needed. Great presentation! Thx
Thank you sir
Great video of facts and impressions, definitely what I was looking for as I consider a Bronco purchase. But even more, I enjoyed your personalities and easy flow of info - keep up the great work, I’m now a subscriber
I don't like smaller SUVS or trucks but I'm addicted watching videos of this one
For the winch - take a look at JCR Offroad's new winch mount designed specifically for this bumper. May solve most of your issues.
Agree with relocating the gear shifter!
I’ve owned 2 jeeps now and it’s been so much fun. I didn’t even touch my motorcycle for a year when I got my 1st one. Mustang is my favorite car so I’m not really bias between the two but I have to admit. Something about the Bronco just looks a little more beefy when you see it behind you. I’m really going to have to think about which one to get next. But I’m loving the competition.
i agree, column shifter! More space for our stuff!
1 pedal drive is throttle only drive! It’s so cool! You let go of the gas and the breaks are applied automatically.
Is the middle button on your goat mode 4 wheel drive system is cruise control is pro that also works in reverse as long as you don't go over 4 miles an hour
Clearance on the front only matters if the clearance on the back is the same, unless you plan on stopping on top of the obstacle and reversing off.
Good video 👍. I'm not a jeep fan by any means but when any manufacturer pushes forward with innovations you should be excited as a jeep owner. You can thank Ford and the Bronco for stepping up the competition, Jeep should and will respond with some also well thought out designs of there own.
Jeep needs to step it up
Hey Casey if you remember when Lite Brite was driving back when the roof was raising up there were 80 mph winds closing a interstate I have ordered 2022 Bronco with soft top
Congrats on the new rig! Watch out for 80mph cross winds.
Subbed. Thank u for the honest review
The Rough Country winch mount is only officially for the 2.3L, not the 2.7L. Also you have to be careful in regards to the radar cruise control. I am still waiting for the right bumper that works for the 2.7L, lower winch and relocates the radar, parking sensors and the camera (if it is blocked). Haven't found the right one, yet.
There is a winch kit that goes under the bumper. The modular bumper allows for hidden winch check your after market accessories
I'm with you guys on the gear selector, the reason they have it instead of an electronic one is because they offer a manual transmission (so they have a hole in the transmission tunnel there anyway). At least that is my understanding of why they didn't go with the dial they put everywhere else (see Bronco Sport for example).
It also has the feature where if you’re in manual mode you can smack the shifter into neutral. (Great if you start tipping backwards on a climb)
I have not had the pleasure of driving a Bronco but from everything I’ve read and watched, the Bronco does have some great features the Jeep doesnt and is a very capable vehicle. Give them time to work out all the bugs and for aftermarket to get items made for them and they will be pretty good. I guess I’ll stick with my Jeep.
I don’t know if you can put a winch in that bumper because of the inner cooler unless you remove and relocate the inner cooler if it’s the TwinTurbo eco-boost
Bring the Bronco out to Jeepapaloza, would love to see how it stacks up on the trails
Overpriced Chrysler garbage fest
I'm not much an off road guy, but this vehicle looks really cool.
Ford does offer a winch set up for the modular bumper. It's a Warn system. The issue will be with the adaptive cruise radar located in the bumper. That will need to be relocated otherwise you'll get many a warning messages with a winch in front of it.
Sweet video! Tje drain plugs oddly enough has never been shown but that is one thing that is very sweet! Those mirrors cameras scare me on a tight trail. Looks expensive to fix after already smashing my jeep mirrors. The winch issue and the approach angle issue with a bumper you can mount is a serious issue.
Thats what I thought but I haven't been playing super close attention to all Bronco info
My mom bought a 2020 keep wrangler Sahara unlimited new in 2020 but when the bronco was announced we checked one out and less than a week ago she took delivery of her 2022 bronco outer banks.
Shoot good to know. Def thinking about one. Hard transition, tho, lol.
thx!
I wish ford would build an affordable budget truck for home improvement people that is well thought out. Most people don’t want all these luxuries but a good durable reliable truck.
It's called the Ford maverick
@@tamurr02 I mean something like a truck with a flatbed and side tool boxes and a lumber rack. Plain and simple truck. Built for Work. Thats why People buy a Truck is for Work and Not really to Sport around. Americans need an Good, Reliable, Affordable work truck that is easy and inexpensive to repair also.
rough country makes a winch set up that allows you to keep your bumper
Casey - 08 JKUR owner here with 5.3LT/8spd auto conversion. Perhaps starting to think about the JLUR Diesel. Any goods and bads associated with just the diesel? Would love to know as you and Shaun are real wheelers just like this old Lionsgaters member used to be in North Van. Have you ever done a review of the diesel?
Check the front lower control arm area shock is attached with two bolt and lock nuts so during the off-roading if lock or something hit the bolt I think it will be bad.
So glad the seats are softer for you
Great review guys :)
How is visibility out front? I'm 6'0'', my wife is 5'3". She loves to drive, but hates not knowing where the corners are, front and rear. How is seat adjustability for shorter people??? Any help here would be great. Great video... I want one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THanks for doing this.
When it comes to the drive control, the lever is still beneficial even if it's all electronic since you can easily tell where it is simply by feel while with the wheel you have to look at what setting it's in since all positions feel the same. To be able to quickly change to Reverse or Drive without needing to look at anything to confirm where it is better in my opinion. Same thing with having knobs and buttons for things like a/c controls and the radio.
you really can't tell from my experience. I still look at what the display next to the lever says.
I’ve had the knob in my Ford Fusion since 2018 you get used to it fast
@@aaronuuu I'm sure you do, but still quicker in my opinion to do things like moving the lever from reverse to drive since it doesn't require that the release button be depressed and it hard stops at drive so just quickly nudging the shift lever moves it to the correct place almost instantly without needing to count clicks or anything like that.
@@hagestad I have a Jeep Wrangler and do heavy off-roading/rock crawling and I have had too switch too reverse 3 times over the years too prevent me from flipping over and I do it by feel without looking. If it would have been a knob I would have flipped while I was looking down too see what gear I’m switching too.
I like the lever better, It's definitely more satisfying to pull ir push than pressing a button.
The middle button is called one pedal drive. Its offroad cruise control. you can set it to as little as 1 mph. also, anytime you are not pressing the gas, the vehicle will apply brake so newer drivers dont have to be as proficient performing 2 pedal maneuvers .
Hill start assist is automatic and there is no button you need to press to enable like the Jeeps.
The base version of the bronco is surprisingly nice. It even get adaptive cruise control and 360 cam
you can only get adaptive cruise control in the lux package. which you have to step up to at least the outer banks to get
The new Bronco seems nice, especially the Badlands version. I was a bit apprehensive of Ford re-using the Bronco nameplate as I used to have a 1979 Ford Bronco with a 351 V8 that got 10 mpg on a good day. It was a beast. But I am tempering my apprehension having watched this review.
The one pedal drive starts to apply the breaks when you let off the gas
0:23 it seems to have slo mo vipers
My 4th gen Ram had weird pointy headrests, they were claiming it was safety requirement i believe, i bent them closer to what they were in 3th gen
What kind of camera are you using for the outside shots in the snow? Based on clarity and quick autofocus I assume a Sony camera but which one? Thanks and great video!
A7s iii with a 16-35 f4 sony zeiss
Nice to hear since that is the camera I just purchased about a week ago! Keep up the great videos. The video quality and content is appreciated!
Thanks! Just added a mavic 3 to the arsenal :)
To be fair to both bronco and the JL transmission selector. Packaging engineers needed to put it there to package protect for multiple transmissions via manual and auto. Additionally cost as well between a manual center console vs a column shifter, etc.
He said, “inside the Jeep”, that was hilarious!!😂😂 great review!!
I believe 1 pedal drive is it applies the break when you take your foot off the gas
im Arabic guy dude your so funny and i liked your video about the Bronco god bless you thumps up
Congratulations 🥳
Dope thorough video.
Couple things you get wrong is that the trail control is like cruise control that can be set in 1/2 mph increments; the one pedal drive mode is different in that you drive using only the gas pedal; hit the gas and it goes, let off the gas and it breaks. It's two features using the same button.
Rough Country makes a nice winch mount!
You need to see the video on light bright on what the stock Bronco can do. Very surprised on how well it does
Great content guys! I would like to know what's the name of this place you're filming?
Stave Lake.
@@Casey250 beautiful footage!, thanks.
paracord handles for those bolts pointed out are all over the place today for anyone watching the comparison. They are super cheap too!
Personally I can't STAND a dial or buttons for P, D, N and R. My wife's car has that and I hate it. I MUCH prefer the lever for gear. Putting it on the column would be fine but NOT a dial or buttons.
My cousin told me his dad was driving his dodge truck and went to turn the radio up and accidently changed the gear
No buttons or dials, I quickly change the channel when I see a vehicle with knobs.
Thank you Casey for your honest review on the Ford Bronco. I see you are from BC! That is awesome to see a fellow Canadian out there producing quality videos to help educate the people out there. Keep up the great work, and enjoy your Bronco in Gods country!
Thanks!!
My same thoughts.
I’m sure it’s been said, but you can’t put handles on the side bars because of the side curtain airbags.
Recommend hothead headliners for jeep - get the deadening strips- amazingly quiet for a jeep
