when is the s6 night drive coming out
Thank you for doing this one.
I have been giving serious thought to the Bronco and the Heritage version calls to me as I remember the ones from the 60's.
I haven't found the time to try and get a test drive so this at least gives me a sense of what it would be like.
I like Old School. The fewer the electronic gizmos, the fewer things that can go wrong which I can't fix on my own. :-)
finally the one and only smart guy who reviews cars, included all the details of the car in the description ! you are the best! i subscribed to you from 3 different pages, gave a like! and shared with with many friends who also subscribed to you. keep it that way. you the man!
Manual transmission forever !!!🏆🥇👍💪
This is amazing in a sea of bland cars that look the same. I want to see more of these cloth seats with different designs and colors.
It's funny as a kid I thought the plaid GTI seats were awful. But now I couldn't agree with you more.
I couldn’t agree more
Funny seeing people say new cars are bland since about every pre-late 2000s appliance car was the exact same design with just different badges
@ˢᵒˡᵒᵗᵒᶜⁱᵘˢ All the classic cars of today looked the same to people alive during x market.
@@mirlov and thus the loop continues
That one is pretty cool. The squared off fenders look a lot better than the round ones. One reason I like ford is because they are so ergonomic. I would love to see a video testing that crawler gear in traffic.
yeah it looks more like the original ones!
if only it had a v8
Coyote 5.0!!! They need to figure out how to cram one into it! They would fly off the lots!

so glad you got your hands on one. have mine ordered in Black and cannot wait!
Awesome video thank you! As a heritage edition order holder this video has me more excited to get mine. I ordered the race red 4 door with the 2.7 ecoboost. I think it’ll look so good with the white accents.
Finally a vehicle that doesn't look like a copy and paste. This looks really awesome. As much as I hate cloth seats, those look really nice.
Idk if they are the same, but the Ecoboost cloth seats are amazing, I rode with my friend for 3 hours and they were great
I don't know how everyone likes leather seats. They're cold as hell in the winter and hot as hell in the summer, although I do live where it gets down to -40 in the winter.
@@invis477 not to mention that cloth seats hold up a lot better than leather seats do. Leather seats are a 2,000 dollar option on the bronco. Definitely a box I wouldn’t tick if I was ordering one
@@invis477 just have heated leather seats. Lol almost 50k for cloth seats is laughable
@@ohmy7554 then buy a Lincoln. Leather in fords is all plastic so I'd prefer the cloth, more durable, cleanable. Leather lovers are lying to themselves to appeal to people that don't like them anyway.
Worked at Ford for a minute. God bless the techs that have to PDI these things and potentially put together these crazy packages.😂
What is done during pdi or what would dealer techs need to put together?
This in the two door is perfect.
Great looking Bronco. Ordered one going on 16 months ago now and have yet to get a build date. Thanks Ford!
Can't say this for many cars, but my favorite Bronco is the base 2-door with steelies and the manual. I'd get it green with the hardtop and the old-school "FORD" spare cover.
I plan on ordering in the red with the same look. It is perfect for me right now.
That sounds encouraging. Are Ford dealers actually taking orders?
Thank you for the awesome video. I am definitely getting a manual Bronco.
lots of people in nashville have these and every time i pass one on the backroads, they are sending it! haha
I dig the looks of this thing. It's so much more interesting to look at than most of the cars on the road. Too bad it's $50k or more for most specs!
Most dealers have $10k+ markups on them as well.
@@MillVillage you are aware of what the average price for a vehicle is in 2023, yes?
All this car is missing is a V8
true dat.
nobody actually buys V8s you boomer. this does not need it.
I'd buy the new broncos if they came with the Coyote 5.0. I can't afford the Bronco Raptor.
@@ryanp6999 I don’t think ur the only one who can’t afford that lol
Nah, just a torquey naturally aspirated I6, a barra would have been perfect, but sadly it couldn't have happened...
At first I thought it was ugly but during my watch I really did start seeing the appeal, loved it!
This is refreshing in a world of appliance like non-engaging EVs.
Very good review. Thank you.
Mine is being shipped from Dearborn NOW! Thanks for this teriffic post. I ordered in March 2023 and will receive sometime the week of Dec. 11, 2023, even with the strike! I'm happy with that. Azure blue Heritage. I'm a 62 year old woman and have been driving a Toyota Sienna mom van for ten years. Prior to that had a K-Blazer and can't wait to compare the Bronco with my favorite car of all time. Thanks to my husband for saying, "Let's get it." Before I'm too old to climb in, haha!!!
Love this review and can’t wait for my heritage race red 2.7 4dr tow tailgate sig lights aux. I think these really stand out and glad it seems well built. Glad to watch this review while we are waiting!
I have a 4 door Heritage in Race red, 2.3 on order!
My wife has a 22 Outer Banks so I 1 upped her! 😂
@@rayw2715 that’s awesome! Hope you get yours soon!
Loving the white dashboard look
Kind of in love with the heritage spec
That's classic man! Love it
that interior is awesome! wow
I have a sports car but these always spark my interest. Cool to see one driven from the inside. Great utility vehicle. If I ever get the money and urge to get a big vehicle, this is it, and the fact that it is a removable top is the cherry on top.
Not me looking at the other bronco and saying "OH HEY ANOTHER BRONCO!' 😂
Funny when you recognize the roads that are in the background 😊… thanks for sharing
Thanks for making this video. I have a Race Red HE Auto scheduled to be built sometime this summer (date keeps moving 😢) Speculation is they are having roof issues, again. Really excited with what I saw in your video. Just gotta be patient.
I love how the passenger side of the dash literally looks like an NES.
Love the seats so much
"Starts at $47k" Dealers: "lol"
Love this!
Absolutely amazing omega speedmaster professional 310 on the new micro-adjust bracelet. One million percent approve and agree.
Also good review. Thanks Topher. Subbed.
I love this. Planning on ordering one. I just wish they had done the marine grade vinyl seats over cloth..
Amazing to see Ford added a manual that thank you Ford
I am really loving this bronco so far, this is also now at the top of my list with a Jeep Wrangler!
Aesthetics are fire on the Heritage.
Interesting. Never been a fan of broncos but this one is neat
That’s almost my spec bronco that I have ordered, except mine is cactus grey. They’ve delayed my build 7 times now, so I’m encouraged that there are finally some getting out there, even if it is a press car.
Best review channel I've seen so far ... so real so honest ... don't even need a test drive 😂 just watch yhe video
Love the interior.
Good luck getting one. Brother has an order for the 2 door red heritage, and it's been all crickets in regards to when he'll actually get it.
They aren’t starting production until about july as of last check. I have the same on order and there are about 3k ordered waiting to be built
I’m in love with this bronco
This one is so cool 😍😍😍
I'm a die-hard mazda 3 fan/small compact sedan/hatch fan. But I absolutely LOVE this car
this is really cool. nice to see a car company bring back an older version of a car that isn't "NOW AN ELECTRIFIED HYBRID PHEV DUAL MOTOR AWD AUTOMATIC CVT DPK" 😂
mans got beef with electrified hybrid phev dual motor awd automatic cvt dpk cars
@@buried9280 Nah, I would say I have beef with electrified hybrid phev dual motor awd automatic cvt dpk cars, BUT those kinds of cars are surely vegan activists. So its more of like a plant based turkey.
@@buried9280 bad for the environment is why
This will age extremely well. Once it’s dirties and patinas over the years. Beautiful
@TheTopher can you include a segment where you slide the seat all the way back to show how much leg room their is? I’m 6’5 so it’s always a big deal to know if I can fit comfortably. Maybe just include leg room stats
Getting older really makes you have sweet spot for such classics, Cars and Bikes. Younger me wouldn't even take a glance 😂
😁😜👋
Has nothing to do with getting older, more to do with not taking sh't for granted.
WIting in my 2 door black diamond to be built. Sadly couldn’t get the v6 through my dealer. I can’t wait!
Nice!
Look so good..I love it..❤
awesome
Beautiful car.
Those wheels are so cool
Any transmission noise? There’s a TSB for Bronco 7-speeds under 22-2371. I doubt Ford found a new transmission manufacturer for 2023.
The manual shifter usually confuses me which I don’t find a complaint for that, but other than that, this Bronco looks so cool and futuristic!
I like it! A cool, actual 'SUV' with loads of practicality. The manual would be a lot of fun too. Only have room for one car though and my GR86 isn't going anywhere.
Drop the 5.0L with a manual in there and I'll order one immediately. Would be an absolute blast with a whipple sitting on top.
that and they should have never dropped the solid front axel.
its fantastic for most people, but the folks that want to hit moab or rubicon it's much more labor and finance intensive to get an IFS up to snuff.
@@hunterromano5562 To be fair they aren't really targeted at crawling. Given Ford's presence in Baja, its not really a surprise they used IRS, it's far superior for high speed off-roading especially in the desert or dunes.
I'm much happier with IFS. These new Broncos absolutely rip high speed. Almost as good as a late model raptor. Don't forget that's what 80-96 broncos are famous for, they are some of the best prerunner vehicles.
@Hunter Romano If somebody buys a 50k bronco to actually go off roading, then doesn't consider the thousands for more upgrades and can't afford them on top of the bronco. They could never afford the bronco in the first place.
i wanna see you offroad it!
ford bronco is one of my dream truck/car, i don't even car package, as long as it's bronco XD
was never a fan of the new bronco, but this configuration is NICE. this one I would actually get...
Ford Nailed it with the retro just like what they did with the 05 Mustangs.
Ford is making the best vehicles on the road for American cars hands down. Love this bronco
I love that car.
Love the standard trans
I like it
Azure Blue Metallic is my favorite color!
I wonder how the two door handles in comparison to the four door? I love the looks of a Jeep but I like how these are screwed together more and on road manners.
If you get another heritage to review, can you show the modular windows in the back and how they pop out?
I want one of these so bad, but they're so expensive in Canada and $20/hr ain't enough 🥺
They are expensive unfortunately. Maybe you can pick up a used one in a few years.
That'a my favorite color of Bronco in the Herritage version.
I love driving my bronco it’s just a fun vehicle
Wow!!!!
Dashboard looks like a smart fridge
Owned a 1977 first gen Bronco. Has to have 2 doors!
I've had my 2/dr. base Sas. since mid Nov, 2.7 auto, erup/grn, mod/bumper, aux/sw.2k miles so far. Best auto that I have ever owned, this has LOTS of power drives like a sports car so fun I hate when I get to my detestation I just want to keep driving. As for as mpg I am at 18.5 on 87 reg. gas this is around town I was hoping for more but with those 35" tires I guess I am lucky to get that. I get lots of compliments on this color eruption green when at gas stations or at stop lights. To me this 2dr model is the only true Bronco I had a 74 with a 302 v/8 and it drove like a stiff truck. The 4/dr. to me looks like a early 92 Ford Explorer mall crawler, true Broncos were made to be two doors. Even the 1978 OJ model were just a Ford F150 with a cover over the bed, not a true Bronco.
Will you review the bronco sport heritage?
It's insane how Ford decided to make a manual transmission and was like nah only for the 4-cylindee
The transmission couldn't handle the extra power. That's a red flag for the transmission when a company does that. Similar is the Toyota Tacoma, you can't get the long bed in a manual. They know the increased payload will break the trans.
@@DaDaDo661 It's just so weird because the FJ Cruiser had a manual with the 4.0L and the Prado has a manual even with the diesels. I feel these companies want manuals to fail because you can't be acting this stupid. this Ford manual is brand new so the could've easily designed it to be strong enough for the V6 but no they didn't.
@@imnotusingmyrealname4566 Instead they just mass ordered a bunch of cheap Chinese junk transmissions and called it a day
@@sategllib2191 wow
@@DaDaDo661 Is it because the tranny can't handle it or because Toyota's research has determined there's no market for manual long-bed Tacomas? Maybe Ford has determined there's no market for manual V6 Broncos.
After having the focus ST. I just want to know the trans is solid and reliable...
This in 2 door would be perfect for me.. love this look tho
Topher tunes
Hey Topher I love your videos and your knowledge etc I'm a bit surprised as someone like yourself, a proper driver, to see you slip into the next lane while turning. Like, aren't you supposed to stay in your lane while turning, not jump into the next one? Isn't that the law, and simply good driving practice?
Chris, We hear hints that the 'heritage' theme will adopted by the upcoming 4X4s from Toyota. Let's hope they go all the way with manual transmissions to match Bronco and Wrangler. 🤩
I believe you're referring to the compact cruiser. Pretty sure its going to be fully EV. But toyota was testing their simulated manual transmission in their lexus EVs 🤔
@@pol.86 I was referring to the next Land Cruiser Prado and 4Runner which are due for a debut over the next 6-12months.
@Right Lane Hog some good news then, the new tacoma is keeping the MT so hopefully the 4runner gets it as well !
@@pol.86yes! That is my hope too! I’m willing to risk it with a 4-cyl turbo, but as long as it’s built by Toyota, not Ford. These Broncos are having problems with manual transmission making noises at idle already😢
Wanted a badlands for the sound system and leather but people are saying the B+O sound system isn’t that great. Might spend 15k less on a heritage that still comes with my manual, blind spot monitoring and wireless CarPlay and heated seats, all the things I really really want. This thing looks GORGEOUS in person
More tech, more things to break.
Ford needs to start adding that 7speed as an option in other 4x4 vehicles
It would be nice if they mated that transmission with the ranger as well.
Is there a chance 2022's have hardtop issues or was that only in the first batch of 2021s?
the high revs on the downshifts....eek!!!
can you make some more drift videos with the brz
'Murica looks so cool to me as European big roads everywhere. Residential houses neighborhood "no problemos, 4 lane road it is" 😁
Honestly as an American you guys are lucky to have good public transport and walkable cities. Having to use a car to get from one place to another regardless of how close a place is becomes an absolute pain.
Nah it’s definitely fun when I went to Italy we rented a BMW X5 and while the highway was ok most of the roads in my dads town weren’t very good for such a big car
Bush hasn't even been president for 20 years give me a break
I wonder what would happen if you use 95 octane or higher and just cruise in 7th gear at 40mph, will the mpg be super good?
wonder what will be the price for 4 dor with manual trans.
Could you do a review for a Subaru crosstrek limited?
Thanks for the detailed video 😍 I love the limited heritage edition Bronco line 💞 Please tell me, in your opinion, can I drive such a car with a height of 157 cm? 😅I wish you good luck with your channel 👻
The fact that the v6 isn't offered with a manual was a complete deal breaker
Yeah it sucks why would they put the small engine with the manual??
Cant wait for mine - 2dr manual. They keep pushing the build date - now end of June :(
Be thankful , maybe they’ll put a updated manual trans in your build and it won’t spend time in the shop for repair 👍😃
Dang they still make manual trans nowadays hey not complaining I have a 87 Comanche with a 4-speed at home I’m learning how to drive!
$50,000 to LARP as a classic off-roader bro...
Get back to me when the two door version (hell, at this point ANY two door new Bronco)...shows up.
