@Dmetsys lol. This transmission has been stellar since it came out in 17'. A few issues during the first year, but overall it has been golden. Gm has the exact transmission in their vehicles. It was a joint venture between the two companies. Ford and Gm has this transmission in many, many different vehicles.
It looks great, both it and Wrangler are perfect. Chevy and GM missed an opportunity with that front wheel drive thing they call Blazer. Well done Ford.
Just remember you can get the base bronco with the Sasquatch package, which would make it much cheaper to get all the good off road stuff on the Bronco. On the Jeep you need a Rubicon model.
@@megamike00712 I just checked the Ford Configurator the base bronco the sasquatch package adds front and rear electronic locking diffs, but looks like no disconnecting sway bar. Total MSRP $38K
Ford: Lets bring back the bronco. Its a big hit. Jeep: Lets bring back the Gladiator. Its a big hit. Chevy: Lets bring back the Blazer but make it a front wheel drive CUV. Everyone: 😩
Stephen, I finally saw one on the road yesterday. Good for Ford for making a relatively inexpensive, base, 2 door model and manual Broncos to go along with high end versions like this one.
Great review Stephen; I’ve been dying waiting for you and your dad’s take on the new Bronco, especially the Badlands with Sasquatch! Your reviews are always excellent!👍
While I have seen some people complaining about all the off road tech being added taking the fun out of off-roading, they don't consider the fact that you don't HAVE to use it all. That and as far as I'm concerned, it it making off-roading way more accessable to folks that otherwise wouldn't have done it and will feed more money into the off road companies that make the accessories for the "hard core off-roaders".
I saw a Bronco that looked just like this one on the 401 on Thursday. I'm looking forward to you guys getting a Bronco back at Ironwood to run your typical trails.
I’m waiting for someone to go off road and get into a off camber situation and rip one of those off. Wonder what it will do to the cowl. There is a reason the mirrors came off with the doors off on Jeep’s.
Stephen, stepping it up a notch, Dad sent you for that fresh army haircut! (That's why you just fit for headroom in the back this time, lol). Joking aside, great video once again, you guys are really on top of things with all of the new vehicles you are reviewing. Great channel, Cheers, Ronny
Stephen your closing thought really hits the nail on the head. Rather than bashing Ford or bashing Jeep, we should be thankful that competition is giving us CHOICES in the hardcore off-road segment. Imagine if the Wrangler didn’t exist, we’d only have the Bronco Sport!
Great video! Don’t forget the GOAT modes that make off-roading more accessible to inexperienced people by letting the driver match the terrain, and the system handles the rest (or you can put it in intelligent if you’re not sure of the terrain). Cheers!
Looking sharp in the new shirts, gents. In my OPINION, the two door version look excellent. I got to look at a grey one with grey wheels and loved it. The bronco looks like it rides better

@@ratkicker007 I’ve got the 3.6L Pentastar with the auto transmission and 4.10 gearing. I’m running 33inch Falken Wildpeaks.

I really have zero complaints about the engine’s power. I only wish that I had the V8 sound haha. Overall I absolutely love the truck. I’ll likely have it for a very very long time.
Just got a test drive in the very same Bronco sans the hardtop. It was quiet, roomy, and comfortable. Head room was far better than my JKU. The bummer is the 18 month order time. If they were available NOW I'd have one! It is one cool looking rig especially with the sasquatch package.

Wheel articulation will never be as good as jeep solid axles, but I saw a video recenty of a bronco 4 dr with 37's run the Rubicon along with some Jeeps, it did darn well. Made it thru anything the jeeps did. So it seems a viable 4x4 for sure.

@@MeowImNotaCat No one looks anything up anymore, yet we have all the information at our fingertips. I blame a lot of that on the public school system which serves to beat creativity and free thought out of your head. At least that was my experience.
Complete nonsense. Bantom and ford havn't had a single thing to do with the Jeep for over 70 years while AMC , Chrysler, and Fiat have continued to fix, refine, and improve it ever since.
@@bdd1469 fix refine and improve? You are certainly entitled to your opinion. If it wasn't for bantam the Jeep wouldn't exist. If it wasn't for Ford and Willy's the Jeep never would have became the World War II icon. Since then every owner has done nothing but build their company based upon the Legacy, while making the product bigger fatter heavier and farther away from its history.
I second that, although honestly we will hard pressed to find anyone that wouldn't want the sasquatch package. It should hold up nice with only a rear locking differential though.
The bronco should not be compared to the wrangler, two different vehicles. Compare the bronco to the discovery. The wrangler is an old design, 70 years, its not comparable.
I was at the track with my motorcycle that day. I saw you guys driving offroad near the straight. I was flying by and was like wtf! That's a Ford Bronco!
@@TruckKing CTMP is certainly one of the more dangerous tracks in our local area due to the very high average speed. A few major crashes that week with major consequences.
Thanks for the review. Not bad for only having 4 hours to do it. I'm waiting for someone to put it through a hard test. Most reviews fall short, mainly because it isn't their Bronco. I'm waiting for my Bronco to be built. It's a Badlands with Sasquatch, 2.7L Power Plant, Lux package, and Towing. That’s priced at $57,865. Everything you can get except Leather-Trimmed, power seats for $2200, and the Hard Top for $700, which would make it $60,765 US... Sorry, Canada.
17:00 Ouch Canadian or not that’s a lot of money. (About 59k ish here in US) I’ve already seen a couple 392 wranglers going for 74k US price 🤦♂️ (at a dealer that’s not marking it up to insanity) So probably when the bronco warthog/raptor comes out it’ll probably msrp in the mid 70’s (USD) But like you said a fully loaded Rubicon cost about the same as this bronco you showed us. But the wrangler comes standard with death wobble 😉
Interesting mpg. My 19’ f150 2.7 would average around 12L stock and my 20’ Jeep Gladiator with 2.5” lift and 35” tires is currently sitting at 12.4 on stock 3.73’s 8 speed. I also live at 2500ft with hills all around me, not a flat road in sight. 13.8 is about what my trd pro tacoma 6 speed manual got on stock good years, so the bronco on 35’s aint shabby
I compared the articulation of TTB front end on my Bronco II, with the IFS on the new Bronco. The modified TTB on the B2 articulates more in extreme situations, to the point where I needed limiting straps. And the ride is still decent on washboard compared to the live axel in the Jeep. The one thing I don't like about the TTB, is how low the pumpkins sits. Great video guys, but for the cost in CDN dollars, I'm glad I live in the states. If it weren't for Biden, it would be even better. :)
Love the content guys, so keep it up. Also love the Broncos so much so that in about a year I will be ordering myself one from Ford. Hopefully you have a lot more Bronco content in the near future. You guys be safe
Tyre noise: too loud. Me: music 🎵🎶🎶🎵. A positive feature. Drowns out the static outside, giggity. Gas: Poor mileage Me: better then 7 😎. Looking sharp with them 4 doors. Off-roading looking mighty tempting. 🤔 I need to make a call ☎️
Love your content boys one of the best off road test channels on RUclips. As a local dude from Kitchener i love seeing more local youtubers blowing up. And as a heavy truck mechanic i feel like i may be missing out lol.
Being a large, heavy, IFS vehicle, how did they manage to get such low payload numbers? Effectively, with no towing, you can get four people and their backpacks in there and that's it. If you tow the max, you can put 2.5 people in there with no additional cargo. So it seems that you could maybe road trip 2 people and their cargo in this version. It also makes it virtually impossible to use as an 'overlanding' vehicle, with rear kitchen/draw setups and rooftop tent/rack/awning, secondary power and all the rest. I've no skin in the game as these will likely never make it to OZ, but very curious how this happens?
I think it’s precisely because they are large, heavy and have an IFS that their payloads are so low (along with primary focus for off-roading). Very similar to the figures for Wrangler Rubicon Unlimiteds, Ford Raptors or even something like a solid axle Ram Power Wagon.
Ford is having a lot of problems with the new Bronco. I CANCELED my order... Its probably best to wait at least 2 years for Ford to work out all of the bugs... Or, you should have a good second car, as these Broncos will be back at the dealership a lot.
Something to keep in mind is that price isn’t what some dealers are going to let it go for. Some dealers are marking up similar models upwards of 100,000$ due to demand and limited stock. So try not to let them get away with that people!
When you guys accelerated, keep in mind the road was wet, and with traction control (if it was left on) it would automatically let off the power when it feels any kind of traction loss which could feel like lag. Not 100% sure that was it, it does have turbo chargers, but given the turbo chargers are small the lag shouldn't be that noticeable.
Turbo lag is offset by expensive and heavy electric assist systems in super cars....maybe some future tech will address that turbo lag lighter and cheaper , but ALL turbo's have it, even if you use two stages and multiple turbo's like this thing does.
First time watching you guys and I appreciate how both of you bounce off of one another. Really good insights from both of you and I think that comes from how experienced you are. Happy to be a new subscriber!
Bestop needs to make a sunrider top for it like they do for the hard top Jeeps. Oh, and good luck getting a four door let alone a two door. We'll have to see if the Canadian dealers that manage to get Broncos, mark them up like their US counterparts are.
I love my 2019 JLUR. But damn, you cannot complain much about this Bronco. The on-road driving seems to be the edge over, as they are right, you always have to have that extra degree of caution every time you hit the highway with a wrangler. But that COST omg. My JLUR start was 65k. I bought a heavily modded dealership project with lift, improved suspension, larger tires and more, and it cost me 77k. That cost for the loaded Badlands Sasquatch package kills it ouch. The Rubis can always handle more off road. But 99% of owners will never take them that far (I do), and the Bronco, aside from the wheel lifts, will do all of that. Some other content creators have already done the Rubicon Trail with the Badlands version they modded to have 37s. Still, competition is good. And with this Ford, it looks GREAT actually.
@@firebir11 you mentioned control arms and knuckles, which I know they do on the knuckles. It’s one of the things they changed on the gladiator when they made the Mojave model
great review content as always with you two. chevy really missed an opportunity with the blazer, could've had an awesome battle between bronco/jeep/blazer but it looks like GM doesn't want to commit to a raptor or bronco competitor, most off road thing they got is the bison.
The original Blazer was a full size truck more for road use, the original Bronco was a compact off road vehicle. So both are following their roots. Blazer was eventually re named Tahoe, and the S10 Blazer was the compact suv. They eventually dropped the S10 name and simply called it the Blazer. Bronco went full size in the late 70's and Bronco 2 became the compact version soon to be replaced by the Explorer and 2 door Explorer sport.
Gosh...I'm depressed now: I'm stuck with a Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. :-( Regardless, I'll "Keep Calm and Carry On" anyway... ;-) Seriously though, I needed more towing-capacity so neither the Wrangler or Bronco would do...it had to be a mid-size TRUCK instead (but, a serious 4x4/off-road capable truck, not garden-variety trucks like the Ranger, Canyon, Colorado (non-ZR2), etc). -- BR
I’m not so sure being that the 2.7 is more efficient than the 5.0 in something like the F-150. I’d rather have a Coyote powered Bronco though, love mine and would take a small hit in economy to have it.
Jeep is special to some it still has a solid front axle the bronco doesn't and whether Ford says it or not you can't beat the articulation of a solid front axle Ford even had to lie about it 😂
@@dor1tomcswagger69 I could care less about that as long as it’s fun and a decent off roader. If that’s super important to you then that’s fine, but calling the Bronco bad because it’s not the exact same system just makes Jeep fans look childish
@@dor1tomcswagger69 If you watch Lite Brite...the pretty blond made a great point...with a live axle, the 🎃 pumpkin is in the line of fire. With IFS, more clearance. So, both have pros and cons.
@@mikefoehr235 yes they do my point to buddy up there is as long as the jeep has solid axles they will be special due to the competition having ifs setups it's different and a lot of ppl prefer solid axles over ifs and vice versa

Turbo lag is offset by expensive and heavy electric assist systems in super cars....maybe some future tech will address that turbo lag lighter and cheaper , but ALL turbo's have it, even if you use two stages and multiple turbo's like this thing does.
My wrangler 2.0 turbo has an etorque system. No lag
looks like the placement of the backup camera, means you can't mount spare-tire bike racks on this thing. itty bitty inconvenience.
Bronco needs to make a Samsquanch Trailer Park Edition for Canada 🇨🇦
The price tag is ridiculous on all these “off road” rigs.
Ricky would like that
Fuel economy is not bad! I daily a 6.2 Raptor and it’s sitting at 20L/100km
First time watching you guys and I appreciate how both of you bounce off of one another. Really good insights from both of you and I think that comes from how experienced you are. Happy to be a new subscriber!
Welcome and thanks.
Hey there Mr. Haircut ;)
1:38 No... That hood never latched. You have to drop it from a higher height.
it makes some crazy sounds
as an old school avid off roader I find all vehicles with electronic terrain controls settings redundant & would never buy such, they are for rookies
Works for me.
As an old school avid off roader - you were never a rookie..?
@@joesimpleton7227 i didnt start wheeling ina 65k rig lol like 90% of the community I started in a 5k rig thats the difference
Excellent review. You guys are really the best truck channel on RUclips.
Thanks 👍
Bestop needs to make a sunrider top for it like they do for the hard top Jeeps. Oh, and good luck getting a four door let alone a two door. We'll have to see if the Canadian dealers that manage to get Broncos, mark them up like their US counterparts are.
They may mark them up but Canada has laws against excessive markup.
Really disappointed there is no rear vents in the back and also no drip rails on the hard top.
Bronco has no rear air condition Wrangler does.
like that bronco yee-haw
i noticed that a majority off road vehicles come with goodyear tires, i have never seen a michelin off road tire
Now this was a good video.
Nice review Mr. I wish I can afford one
I love my 2019 JLUR. But damn, you cannot complain much about this Bronco. The on-road driving seems to be the edge over, as they are right, you always have to have that extra degree of caution every time you hit the highway with a wrangler. But that COST omg. My JLUR start was 65k. I bought a heavily modded dealership project with lift, improved suspension, larger tires and more, and it cost me 77k. That cost for the loaded Badlands Sasquatch package kills it ouch.
The Rubis can always handle more off road. But 99% of owners will never take them that far (I do), and the Bronco, aside from the wheel lifts, will do all of that. Some other content creators have already done the Rubicon Trail with the Badlands version they modded to have 37s.
Still, competition is good. And with this Ford, it looks GREAT actually.
i love the pack of 3(2?) it just shows the true power of these vehicles
Good in-depth review
Thanks!
Man, those front license plates sure make cars look ugly! * used this 🤙🏻 as Bronco wave!
Don’t think I trust those aluminum lower control arms and knuckles. Snap like a twig if you slam them into a rock.
They held up pretty well on the Raptor and TRX. And they can never rust. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@smarticus6384 Raptor and TRX aren’t rock crawlers
@@firebir11 Doesn’t Jeep use aluminum on the Rubicon? Aluminum is fine depending on what grade it is
@@4477superman on their axles? No
@@firebir11 you mentioned control arms and knuckles, which I know they do on the knuckles. It’s one of the things they changed on the gladiator when they made the Mojave model
Great honest review guys. Nice job.
Thanks for that
Those horsepower and torque numbers are on premium. If you use standard you get 10 less of each approximately.
great review content as always with you two. chevy really missed an opportunity with the blazer, could've had an awesome battle between bronco/jeep/blazer but it looks like GM doesn't want to commit to a raptor or bronco competitor, most off road thing they got is the bison.
The original Blazer was a full size truck more for road use, the original Bronco was a compact off road vehicle. So both are following their roots. Blazer was eventually re named Tahoe, and the S10 Blazer was the compact suv. They eventually dropped the S10 name and simply called it the Blazer. Bronco went full size in the late 70's and Bronco 2 became the compact version soon to be replaced by the Explorer and 2 door Explorer sport.
How about the bronco fist bump. You can call it the bronco bump
Notice the tires, the Goodyear Territory. The Wrangler name is not present on the tires on a bronco.
Right you are - guess why.
Gosh...I'm depressed now: I'm stuck with a Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. :-(
Regardless, I'll "Keep Calm and Carry On" anyway... ;-)
Seriously though, I needed more towing-capacity so neither the Wrangler or Bronco would do...it had to be a mid-size TRUCK instead (but, a serious 4x4/off-road capable truck, not garden-variety trucks like the Ranger, Canyon, Colorado (non-ZR2), etc).

the german made removable hard tops have delaminating issues from rain and humidity.
Hollycow, that is a jumble of hoses and wires under the hood.
Tires are Goodyear Territory, NOT Wrangler Territory!!!! FORD did NOT want the Wrangler name anywhere on their copy cat Bronco!!!!
I can guarantee you a 5.0 V8 would get better MPG’s!
I’m not so sure being that the 2.7 is more efficient than the 5.0 in something like the F-150. I’d rather have a Coyote powered Bronco though, love mine and would take a small hit in economy to have it.
The 5.0 is a big engine. I don't think it will fit in the Bronco/Ranger platform.
@@Red.Hot.Chili.Beans63 it’s a pretty wide engine for sure, but so is the 2.7 with its turbos hanging off each cylinder bank.
Turbo Diesel from the F150 would have been nice. Or a plug in hybrid like the 4xe.
I'm in the market for a new offroader but $74k cdn, dang. Looks like I'm heading to the nearest city in search of a used mall-crawling Wrangler.
I think I just watched a Ford ad?
That is a great color for sure!
Great video as always👍 keep up the good work guys
Would’ve been perfect if the rear seats were reclinable
Question-Do you want side curtain airbags if you are rock crawling for instance and roll over?
Probably not... that’s an instant totaling of the vehicle
So many salty Jeep owners mad that their Wrangler isn’t special anymore
Jeep is special to some it still has a solid front axle the bronco doesn't and whether Ford says it or not you can't beat the articulation of a solid front axle Ford even had to lie about it 😂
@@dor1tomcswagger69 I could care less about that as long as it’s fun and a decent off roader. If that’s super important to you then that’s fine, but calling the Bronco bad because it’s not the exact same system just makes Jeep fans look childish
@@4477superman who said the bronco is bad 🤷
@@dor1tomcswagger69 If you watch Lite Brite...the pretty blond made a great point...with a live axle, the 🎃 pumpkin is in the line of fire. With IFS, more clearance. So, both have pros and cons.
@@mikefoehr235 yes they do my point to buddy up there is as long as the jeep has solid axles they will be special due to the competition having ifs setups it's different and a lot of ppl prefer solid axles over ifs and vice versa
