It’s a throw back to the original bronco having its speedometer on the left. But yeah I find my self only looking at the digital display Vs the analog. I still love it though.
@@AnarchyThirtySeven Yup, I’ve called this particular “feature” an “Easter Egg” gone wrong. It might not be an actual Easter Egg, as opposed to a nod to the Gen one, but after 60 years of dashboard evolution this one fell flat.
I kinda pay it no attention. It is a waste of screen use. However I do believe they are required to have it. Most trucks and cars have both. You just don’t notice it because the digital speed can be turned off to display other things.
Yeah fair enough, I get that. It’s just when it shifts at like 2500 rpm, then there’s a gap between first and second then it all the sudden pops in to gear. Really not a fan of that. Firm shift I get, but the lazy shift is what I can’t stand
Either enable sport mode with forescan or a pedal commander and a ecu flash. Youll fix the « lag » and make an extra 50 hp everywhere. I also have a carbonized grey Badlands.
I'm mind blown that FORD didn't offer a 5.0L Coyote V8 option on the off-road Broncos. The original ones back in the 60s-70s got that spicy combo. Remember the Baja Bronco that was custom built back then?
Yeah I agree. Especially in the raptor version. Broncos have always been big loud v8s so it’s weird to not have that with the new gen. But even the ford gt doesn’t have a v8 anymore so I think the good days are over
FYI there is no turbo lag off idle. The factory calibration keeps the bypass open for boost until later in the RPMs. That’s by design for 1st gear. That can be tuned out with an aftermarket tune.
I have the same 1st and 2nd gear shift "doubt", "hiccup", "desync" not as smooth shift from 1st to second. For sure seems like a tuning issues, I thought perhaps the transmission self learn picked it up from my bad driving habits. Since by the time it typically shifts from 1st to 2nd I find that I'm just starting to press more on the accelerator since by then the boost is triggering and it feels good/natural to start dipping into the gas to keep the accel firm and forward. However if I don't give it a lot of gas it does this not very smooth shift so it makes me drive it faster to avoid the bad shift. I read a lot of people raving about the transmission tuning with the 2.7 tune from ford that it improves transmission tuning. I think I will be giving it a try. I'll add my other "don't like" about my Bronco, is that the camera options while in Normal mode don't include the left/right wheel cameras. Would be nice in to quickly be able to see what the tire is doing it in normal driving situations by clicking the camera button. Otherwise I love the thing. Thanks for making the vid 'j' o'
Oh man I didn’t know that ford had a tuning for that. I’ll be looking in to that for sure. That’s probably my biggest gripe as it is something I experience every time o drive it. I agree with the camera thing. I wish I could turn on the front facing camera when I want without the safety crap jumping in and turning it off above 7 mph. BS.
Sounds like you would benefit from the Performance tune. Would knock out a few off your list. I don't know if I can think of 5 things I hate about my Bronco 🤔....
@@HarryKuloh yes I’ve gotten quite a bit better mpg out of my 2020 2.3 eco ranger. Because it retunes the transmission and it’s easier to light for drive it without having to give it more pedal.
For me it's the interior plastics. If you just look at them wrong they will scratch and get all marked up. Also wish the dash was fully digital, and not 2/3 digital and a real speedo. That way you could potentially change up the look and layout of it.
I haven’t noticed that same issue with the interior to be honest. But I do agree about the instrument panel. It really bothered me at first and now I don’t even think about it. Would be nice to have the raptor screen though
I think the headlights are better than the aftermarket options I had on my previous vehicle so I haven’t noticed any issues there; off road at night I know I’ll need more as I had on my previous vehicle. The lack of grab handles makes me think it was because of the airbags.
@@OFFTHEGRIND I've got the fog lights, so this hasn't been an issue for me. I don't off-road at night, either, so I only have on-road nighttime driving as a point of reference.
I would definitely agree with you on the lack of rain gutters on the roof and the grad handles, massive oversight on Fords part. Not sure about the trans since we have the manual trans 4cyl.
David, I had the same issue. I installed an Injen Intake, Injen upper and lower charge pipes and a Mishimoto Intercooler. I already had the Ford Procal tuner installed. Let me tell you it is like a differnet engine. It is amazing. Also the Ford Procal totally fixes/improves the shift points.
I totally agree with the 1 to 2nd gear shift! It feels like there’s something wrong with it. I’ve got the 2.3. I also wish there was a gutter system, I’ve been looking at Jeep solutions. The soft top does it too.
Yeah the shift is annoying. A lot of people had said look at the ford performance tune so I’m going to check though out. No idea what to do about the gutter system though. All after market stuff looks like garbage
@@OFFTHEGRIND I didn't even think about a tuner! I have a Big Bend now, but have a BadLands on it's way (production date june 12), so I figure I'll just deal with it for now, and look into a tuner for my BadLands. The gutter solutions all look like trash. If you find something that does look less trashy, let me know for sure!!!
One of the things they told us at our OffRoadeo class was they the Bronco actually starts off in Second gear when in 2WD on the road. True first gear is reserved for Off road 4L situations. I have noticed when starting down a steep hill, if you hit the down shift button on your gear shift, it sticks it in 1st and it just crawls.
Look into adding Sport Mode to your Badlands. You can do it in forscan and its well worth it. Really wakes up the turbos and seems to smooth out the shifting. Can also turn off the double honk when leaving the Bronco with the key while its running (dumbest feature). Overall I agree with your issues. I've had my 21MY 2.7 Badlands for 2 yrs and 25k miles without any issues and love it overall but the rain issue, stock headlights, absolute crap speakers just annoy me sometimes lol.
Oh god how did I not mention that double beep! It’s so annoying!! That’s good to know though I will definitely look in to that. I think I’m the only one that’s not bothered by the speakers lol! Everyone seems to hate them but I’m not made at them haha
I enabled the Sport Mode as well and I especially notice the difference in shifting. I don't love the idea of being in 4a. I am considering installing a pedal commander for around town.
When I first saw the spec sheets on the new bronco I really wanted one. It was 100% the ecoboost and 10 speed that kept me from pulling the trigger. That decision was purely based on past experience with ecoboost "technology". If Ford had a NA option I would have given it far more consideration. My F150 work truck suffers from the same 1st to 2nd issues. It has 65k on it now and it's still doing it. Love the bronco otherwise, but I'll stick with my trusty old Taco for now. Keep up the great content!
I have had three eco boost engines actually. 2 were flee le cars and I had an ST for a while. All of them were excellent and never gave me issues at all. So the ecoboost was not a deterrent at all for me. And people rave about the 10 speed and I see why. It’s fantastic, minus that 1-2 shift. But I didn’t have a kid and dogs to take camping, trust me man, I’d still have my trusty Tacoma. Loved that thing. My brothers got it now so I get to see it often!
Is your F-150 a 2.7 also? I sell Fords for a living, and I've never noticed the lag on the 3.5s, but I noticed it in spades on a Ranger with the 2.7 that I gave a test on the other day.
We have driven a Badlands Sas Lux on and off road for a year and could not agree less with your 5 hates. Less turbo lag than any of our previous vehicles, super smooth shifting, headlights are very decent compared to most rentals and vehicles we owned. We do have other “hates” though such as wind noise, consistant rattling from different source (window rattles when open, rattling from the subwoofer, squeeks from the roof, etc) and a few other things. Compared back to back with a Jeep though, it’s much better for us.
I think everyone is gonna have their own unique experience with this car lol. I don’t have any of the issues you have with yours. The wind noise I do have is from the rack and the squeaking it from the weight of the tent. With that off, all of it goes away even then it’s not bad though. But yeah, way better than a Jeep!! Lol
I think there would be many different "top 5" lists. I agree that I don't have a problem with the things he listed. It doesn't rain enough where I am to have that water drip problem I hear others talk about. But my #1 would definitely be the wind noise. I deal with it, but it's far from ideal. As I understand it, Wrangler owners get about the same amount of noise. Still, I'd probably even opt for a fixed roof if that got me 6-10db quieter.
Reliability at 100k is more important because thats the milage prices actually get affordable some times. 5k miles is nothing you haven't even hit the first scheduled oil change
The turbochargers have to be mono-scroll because twin-scroll turbos become unbalanced when the number of pistons are uneven (V-6 has 3 cylinders be bank and each turbo covers only one bank). Your turbo lag is unfortunately typical of any vehicle equipped with mono-scroll turbos. Also, their is a tuning issue with most Fords that have the 10-speed automatic. Ford's 8 speed automatic doesn't have this issue, but it can't handle the high torque of your engine. Not sure how to tune an automatic, but since it is computer controlled it can be done. I agree with you on getting a gutter for the hard top Broncos. I have the same issue with my 2-door base Bronco and it is annoying (especially since it is my daily driver).
I had no idea that was a thing with twin scrolls. My only experience with them was on a 4 cylinder but as you said, that’s all on one bank so that thing ripped lol.
I have a 2021 Badlands Sasquatch. Totally agree. I added grab handles. Most annoying is the soft top dumping water on me when I am in the Chick-fil-A drive thru. Never really had an issue with the headlights at night on the trail. I downloaded the sport mode using Forscan software. No more turbo lag or transmission issue. Also removed the double honk. I race Jeeps and Tacoma's and generally harass them on the trail for fun. Baja mode is incredible. Speed is the Bronco's party piece.
The first to second shift was an issue I noticed when driving the 10AT off-road - this was one of the many reasons I think the 2.3L with the 7MT is my preference. I must be accustomed to lower brightness lights, I think they're great haha!
It’s funny, it’s not something I noticed when test driving it. And I drove it a lot. But honestly I could’ve been blinded by my desire for it. Wouldn’t have stopped me from buying it that’s for sure. Could be that, or I could be accustomed to boarder line illegal headlights haha! My Tacoma was so bright I had people flash me all the time and that’s without the his on lol
Funny thing reading all these comments about the shifting. I live in the mountains and noticed the hard shifts immediately. Took it in and was told it was normal. A year later, and now losing power driving up hills at slow speeds, i took it back... dealer calls me to tell me they'll have it for 3 weeks as they have to replace the transmission as it slips in second, and i basically have no 3rd gear. Mastertech told me this is common in the 22's specifically.. just fyi.
I got a 2022 Badlands 4-door and for me the 1st-to-2nd gear shift takes way too long. I have to park inside a parking garage and when I'm letting it idle down the ramp at 7-10 MPH (not touching the accelerator), it rides that 1st gear until around 2000 - 2100 RPM, then shifts to 2nd. The engine weirdly ramps up to high RPM at slow speeds then remembers it needs to shift to 2nd. I know I can manually time the shift much better, but for a $60k car with an auto-transmission, I shouldn't have to. I spoke with the dealer & they had no idea what I was talking about. I commented this issue on another RUclipsr channel (some Texas Ford dealer that made some informative videoss on Broncos) and he mentioned I could look into getting the transmission tuning reset by the factory, but since you & tons of people in the comment section are seeing a similar issue I figure the factory won't solve it.
Yeah it is so odd. I have heard multiple people comment that you can fix it through forscan which is something I haven't messed around with much, nor do I know if it affects the warranty. But it is something that I am going to look in to and may make a video on it if I can figure it out
Some have taken their Fords back to the dealership to have them turn off the transmission learn function. Those that have done this say the transmission shifts as it was designed to and not according to the learned information from the driver. Just a thought.
While I think you are much more knowledgeable about turbos than I am, I suspect it's not actually turbo lag. Have you installed a pedal commander? I haven't sensed anything I feel is actually turbo lag in my badlands, but I do feel that hesitation that I think is coming from the drive by wire pedal. I am comparing the experience to when I drive my ' 88 turbobird.
I agree that it is not the turbos, it is more of a tunning issue. And maybe that is what I should have said. I don't get the reasoning behind the late build in pressure from them.
Possibly the purpose of the turbos kicking in a little later would be as an off road vehicle when trying to get out of deep ruts or rock you do not want sudden bursts at little over idle
I agree. But in normal mode, there’s no reason to have that delay. In sport mode (which the badlands doesn’t have) apparently the lag is significantly less
I find myself pulling in the steering wheel far more then I’d like to get in so I don’t like using it. Seems to be a common complaint but I’m glad it works for you!
In my 60 years on this earth, and having owned and driven over 40 different cars. I can tell you this. No car is perfect, and I have had cars from the simple basic cheap no options, to special ordering top of the line vehicles with every option possible. I have found that every car I have owned I have either had to custom make, custom alter the vehicle, or go third party aftermarket to make the vehicle the way I want it, or to correct flaws with it. Even then…. It still wasn’t perfect. However, there are about ten things that I wish ford had done different with the Bronco, that one can’t change (as far as I know) with after market parts or even custom parts.
From what ive seen on the interwebs what your feeling is not turbo lag its a torque management program in the transmission and im with you on hating that dead spot when you nail the pedal. I think a tune will eventually fix this
There’s a couple on the market that apparently will fix this. I need to look in to them more. I just don’t understand why this was intentionally programmed in like that
Gripe 1. The turbo lag is from the Ford OEM tune not the turbos. Get a Whipple or Ford Performance tune reflash and you will be much happier with pedal response. Gripe 3. Again, get a Whipple or Ford Performance tune reflash. You will be MUCH happier.... and it is a tune issue to protect 1st gear from too much torque.
I think they are just 9005 size bulbs which they actually already make. But since it’s in a housing I can’t see spending that amount for those. I need to find something though
There is no turbo lag on the V6..try using premium gas I tested the headlights for the factory--twice..they are excellent. Try getting some glasses silly video
I actually do notice a difference with regular gas and premium. I actually thought premium was only for high octane engines like sports cars. When the manual said premium fuel ups the HP I didn’t really buy it untill I switched back to regular gas and noticed less “pick up”.
I believe they fixed the shifting issue on 23 models. Mine doesn’t have that issue. The grab handles I agree with however my Jeep I had a few years ago didn’t come with them either, it was an after market fix. I haven’t noticed a turbo lag yet but I haven’t really pushed it yet so I’ll see. I haven’t had the experience with the lights you have, however my trucks Ford and Chevy have had terrible lights in bad weather conditions. Especially my Ford trucks.
I have heard a lot about forscan being able to fix a lot of the complaints that I have had with it. But that said, I wouldn’t change the purchase at all. I absolutely love it!
I have a Ford bronco 2023 black diamond made in November 2023 and they still haven’t fixed that issue with shifting through the first three gears. the shifting is absolute shit the car jerks between first and second and 2nd and third so initially I thought the issue was it’s a new vehicle and the gas pedals extra sensitive so I tried to just gradually press on the gas pedal and there’s no way to get it shift smoothly in the first three gears. I can’t imagine that Ford would turn off the learn function on the transmission and I can’t imagine that it would not void your warranty if you use Ford scan yourself, or someone else to do it.
I would like to put grab handles on the part you did but what happens if the airbag comes out in the event there is a accident thy come out with alot of force so I would imagine that handel coming off would hurt like to know other people's take on this
I love my 23 bronco, my major issue to me is that it only has 2 cup holders ya I know to most that might not be an issue but when you have kids and theirs no place to put a cup than it’s becomes an issue
If you dont mind me asking, what offset are those wheels.... They look awesome, I went to the site and didn't realize they are hybrid wheels. They are what I have been looking for.
The lag is the same in my 2018 Raptor with the 3.5 Eco boost...not good! Wait till you get into the 30-45K mile range and let us know if you have the cam phaser issues as we in the Raptor's have had...terrible engines..the shifting in Sport mode is sketchy with huge bumps between shifts...It is a tuning issue and can be resolved....
I have heard from a lot of people that have been able to tune their vehicles and have had better luck with it. Seems weird thought hat ford would tune in these hard shift points cause that it really not great for the drivetrain long term.
Turbo lag? 😂 not really how i would describe the 2.7L ECO-Boost. Im not sure what vehicle/setup you are comparing the platform to, but the Bronco has very little turbo lag all things concidered, it spools almost as fast as my 2014 Focus ST stock turbo (also ECO-Boost platform) and that car is noted for its incredibly fast spool and subsequent low end torque. 2300 / 2500 is an amazing turbo peak boost. I have never felt like my bronco 2.7L twin doesn't spool fast enough.
If you put your foot down from a stand still, it just feels like nothing is happening and then all the sudden it hit around 2500-3000 rpm. In the turboed cars I have driven (I actually owned a focus st as well) it felt like it rolled in to the power a LITTLE better, but definitely lower in the rpm. The engine just feels dead to me sub 2500 rpm
I hate how the engine sounds on start up. I have 2.3L and it’s very noisy engine. Not like V8 grumble but just real ticky noises like something is breaking lol. It only sounds like that on start up but from what I hear it’s normal for these engines. I never knew a 4 cylinder could be so damn loud in the morning
Maybe the shift gear could be something with turbo engines, my 2018 Honda accord 2.0 is the same when I’m those gears (I somewhat notice it in my bronco but I guess I got used to it with my accord)
My wife actually has the same accord with the 10 speed and I have not noticed it in that. I should drive it again and see. I could be a gear ratio thing though since first is so short
I like this but that markup has been so brutal. I have a 17 tacoma off road in quicksand so im real happy but this has been on my radar. I am also a tech so toyota vs ford in reliability...but i would like to drive one one day. They're real nice
Turbo lag.... Turbo drivers learn. Look up Hans Stuck driving the Audi Quattro rally car. Foot in it through the corners to keep the boost. Big turbos lag even more. It is not a V8, don't expect peak torque below 3000 rpm. You would hate the 2024 ZR1 'vette (or any NA Honda Type-R). Life begins about 5000 rpms. So don't be afraid of 3k. Fog lights - Really? You want Ford to supply those? The factory headlights get you on the road. It is setup to add those including A pillar, lights in the modular, roof lights. I added a Mabett winch mount on the modular and got the Harbor Freight "Badlands" APEX 1200 on a 20% off day. Spot on on the gear shift. It never rev matches correctly. Someone screwed up the mapping. The lack of grab handles is not an oversight. The bolts are there for that purpose. I got black/orange to match the Badlands trim. Off to see 5 likes.
Look at it this way...most jeep owners would be happy if they had only 5 things they hated about their jeeps. Their list is usually around 15-20 items. Lol
Turn the music down... You are giving good info and background music the entire way through is a distraction. Had to stop half way through and read the comments.
Thanks for the feedback. In the edit I could barely hear the music so it’s weird that it changes depending on where you listen to it. The 5 things I love video won’t have music at all
I'm sure that alot of people noticed the hose clamps on the turbo pipes. To me it's a quality thing and a pride thing. Do you not think that they should have used a smaller clamp so the tail isn't so long flapping in the wind. It looks bad like they don't even care about shit like that and use whatever you have. So ya it's definitely a quality thing. I'm the one saying it and not everyone else. It's my opinion and not necessarily everyone else.👍🇨🇦🔧
Ford dumbs down our motors heavily, i have a ford ranger tremor and even tuned you will feel lag. Pedal commander is amazing and i felt it alot less when i started using one but once i upgraded the CAI and intercooler i never feel the turbo lag anymore.
@@OFFTHEGRIND I was curious because I was trying to decide which way to go. I’ve heard that the solid axle lasts longer and takes more punishment. Less complicated etc.
Geez man, how much light do you need!? The road is already a toxic wasteland of blinding light pollution and these are some of the brightest now they could hit a wider angle that’s true.
Turbo! Rock climbing? Turbo lag on a fire road really necessary? Larger displacement, more torque, less tech maybe? Bye bye Ford, you really don't get it.
I agree. This crappy thing about RUclips is the vast majority of people who consume content here are attracted to drama and negativity. As a content creator I have to play the game a little even though I hate it. Let me also say I’m done doing these videos. I don’t like doing them despite them getting views. I just want to do adventure videos
Turbo lag? I just got my Sasquatch with the 2.7 and haven’t experienced any turbo lag for say….I haven’t mashed on it hard from a stop or turn but half throttle or better and it just jumps on command! My wife and I both have broncos with the 2.7 . Hers is the base model with 3.73s with 35s and she doesn’t complain about power either….her old 17 ford edge had turbo lag and she bitched about it all the time 😅
@@OFFTHEGRIND that’s weird bud! I would think if there was something technically wrong with it the check engine light would pop on! Maybe that pedal command thing people talk about would help or a tuner? I’ve read people say a tuner really wakes these broncos up!
@@OFFTHEGRIND i was playing around with the GOAT mode yesterday experimenting while switching back and forth from sport to eco to normal! What a difference if power on sport mode! I heard numerous comments from other channels about the power increase on sport mode…..throttle sensation changes dramatically from eco to sport …..in fact on sport mode in town is rather annoying….very light throttle gets ya moving quickly and on other people’s ass ….normal or eco mode is much easier to drive in town….my next experiment is to fill up on premium and try sport mode! Lol
People need to STOP with these ultra bright headlights. IF you can't see, get glasses or stay off the roads. If you are offroading and need more lighting for that specific purpose, they make plenty of accessory lighting that you can add to your heart's desire. But the day we get rid of these ultra bright hyper white lights can't come soon enough. Great that you can see the world lit up from 20 miles away but you're blinding everyone else on the road, and I doubt that's safe.
I’m sorry to hear you have so many concerns. I know what you mean by turbo lag, but I solved this by adding Sport to my GOAT modes, no lag at all! My last was a Focus St, with the 2L eco boost, traded it in with almost 300,000kms, still ran hard and never had any issues. You just have to know that ecoboost’s require extra maintenance, 3000miles between oil changes and ALWAYS synthetic and a MOTORCRAFT FL filter, but what do I know! lol Lights, I sort of agree, but you can’t really expect the strength of HID lights to LED, but LED lights do have their advantages in some situations, still light years better than Halogen lights and so,e vehicles still have those. I really don’t have any shifting issues, love the 10 speed, you are talking Normal GOAT, correct? Meh to adding gutters, not an issue, even coming from having side window deflectors. lol I added similar grab handles, I find I don’t really use them though, but I have stirrup steps, maybe that helps. Giddy up 👍🐴🐴🥌🤘 2021 2 Dr Badlands w/Sasquatch 2.7L/Lux. 25,000miles with not a single issue…knock on wood! lol
I really had to think to find these honestly. I freaking love my bronco and would not change anything. My things I love video which will come out next week, that was hard to narrow down so the things I chose are pretty broad lol! I’ve had an ST as well and it work flawlessly. I’ve actually had a few ecoboost engines and literally never had an issue so I’m hoping this will be the same for me. Cheers!
I’d never buy eco-boost anything on any gas power plant. Call me paranoid… Unless it’s a diesel, no boost at all. I just want an engine to last over 150k without a major fix.
The new Bronco is perfect! 21k miles of loving my ride!
The turbo lag is tuned in. It's not problems with the turbo, they just don't want to harp on the drivetrain. Tune it and watch that 2.7 go nuts.
Am I the only one that hates having an analog speedometer right next to the digital one... Does anyone look at the analog one?
It’s a throw back to the original bronco having its speedometer on the left. But yeah I find my self only looking at the digital display Vs the analog. I still love it though.
I’m with you. I’m not a fan. I wish it was like the raptor and fully digital.
@@AnarchyThirtySeven Yup, I’ve called this particular “feature” an “Easter Egg” gone wrong. It might not be an actual Easter Egg, as opposed to a nod to the Gen one, but after 60 years of dashboard evolution this one fell flat.
I kinda pay it no attention. It is a waste of screen use. However I do believe they are required to have it. Most trucks and cars have both. You just don’t notice it because the digital speed can be turned off to display other things.
@@OFFTHEGRIND I’m the opposite. I hate digital clusters. Analog is just so much more tasteful imo. Easier to fix long after production too.
I love the solid firmness of the 1-2 shift on my 2021 Badlands 2.7L. I think it’s a personal preference thing.
Yeah fair enough, I get that. It’s just when it shifts at like 2500 rpm, then there’s a gap between first and second then it all the sudden pops in to gear. Really not a fan of that. Firm shift I get, but the lazy shift is what I can’t stand
Either enable sport mode with forescan or a pedal commander and a ecu flash. Youll fix the « lag » and make an extra 50 hp everywhere.
I also have a carbonized grey Badlands.
I'm mind blown that FORD didn't offer a 5.0L Coyote V8 option on the off-road Broncos. The original ones back in the 60s-70s got that spicy combo. Remember the Baja Bronco that was custom built back then?
Yeah I agree. Especially in the raptor version. Broncos have always been big loud v8s so it’s weird to not have that with the new gen. But even the ford gt doesn’t have a v8 anymore so I think the good days are over
Ford does offer the 5.0L coyote V8 in the bronco…..it’s called Ford Bronco DR
Get the Ford Performance Tune. Total game changer in performance and will improve fuel economy. You do have to run 91 octane plus but worth it IMO.
One thing I hate about the Bronco is that they don't offer the V6 with a manual transmission
Yeah that was an odd choice for sure
FYI there is no turbo lag off idle. The factory calibration keeps the bypass open for boost until later in the RPMs. That’s by design for 1st gear. That can be tuned out with an aftermarket tune.
I have the same 1st and 2nd gear shift "doubt", "hiccup", "desync" not as smooth shift from 1st to second. For sure seems like a tuning issues, I thought perhaps the transmission self learn picked it up from my bad driving habits. Since by the time it typically shifts from 1st to 2nd I find that I'm just starting to press more on the accelerator since by then the boost is triggering and it feels good/natural to start dipping into the gas to keep the accel firm and forward. However if I don't give it a lot of gas it does this not very smooth shift so it makes me drive it faster to avoid the bad shift. I read a lot of people raving about the transmission tuning with the 2.7 tune from ford that it improves transmission tuning. I think I will be giving it a try.
I'll add my other "don't like" about my Bronco, is that the camera options while in Normal mode don't include the left/right wheel cameras. Would be nice in to quickly be able to see what the tire is doing it in normal driving situations by clicking the camera button.
Otherwise I love the thing. Thanks for making the vid 'j' o'
Oh man I didn’t know that ford had a tuning for that. I’ll be looking in to that for sure. That’s probably my biggest gripe as it is something I experience every time o drive it.
I agree with the camera thing. I wish I could turn on the front facing camera when I want without the safety crap jumping in and turning it off above 7 mph. BS.
Sounds like you would benefit from the Performance tune. Would knock out a few off your list. I don't know if I can think of 5 things I hate about my Bronco 🤔....
5 star does fantastic tunes. I’m running a sct x4 with a couple different tunes. Changes drivability so much.
Yeah I agree. I’m just don’t want to void the warranty is all. There’s only one tune I know of that doesn’t so that’s my issue
@@Arrowoverland does the tune noticeably affect your range or gas mileage?
@@HarryKuloh yes I’ve gotten quite a bit better mpg out of my 2020 2.3 eco ranger. Because it retunes the transmission and it’s easier to light for drive it without having to give it more pedal.
@@OFFTHEGRIND as far as I know 5 star tunes don’t void warranty. They stay within All safety perameters .
You're absolutely right about 1st to 2nd. It does drive me nuts.
Sounds like there’s a tune that ford offers that helps that. Definitely going to look in to it
For me it's the interior plastics. If you just look at them wrong they will scratch and get all marked up. Also wish the dash was fully digital, and not 2/3 digital and a real speedo. That way you could potentially change up the look and layout of it.
I haven’t noticed that same issue with the interior to be honest. But I do agree about the instrument panel. It really bothered me at first and now I don’t even think about it. Would be nice to have the raptor screen though
I think the headlights are better than the aftermarket options I had on my previous vehicle so I haven’t noticed any issues there; off road at night I know I’ll need more as I had on my previous vehicle. The lack of grab handles makes me think it was because of the airbags.
Yeah, like I said in perfect conditions they do alright. But as soon rain, dust or fog is introduced they go downhill quick
@@OFFTHEGRIND I've got the fog lights, so this hasn't been an issue for me. I don't off-road at night, either, so I only have on-road nighttime driving as a point of reference.
Headlights Great. Just click the hibeam lever ;)
I would definitely agree with you on the lack of rain gutters on the roof and the grad handles, massive oversight on Fords part. Not sure about the trans since we have the manual trans 4cyl.
David, I had the same issue. I installed an Injen Intake, Injen upper and lower charge pipes and a Mishimoto Intercooler. I already had the Ford Procal tuner installed. Let me tell you it is like a differnet engine. It is amazing. Also the Ford Procal totally fixes/improves the shift points.
Turbo lag isn't an issue with the turbos, it's the tuning of the vehicle.
I totally agree with the 1 to 2nd gear shift! It feels like there’s something wrong with it. I’ve got the 2.3. I also wish there was a gutter system, I’ve been looking at Jeep solutions. The soft top does it too.
Yeah the shift is annoying. A lot of people had said look at the ford performance tune so I’m going to check though out. No idea what to do about the gutter system though. All after market stuff looks like garbage
@@OFFTHEGRIND I didn't even think about a tuner! I have a Big Bend now, but have a BadLands on it's way (production date june 12), so I figure I'll just deal with it for now, and look into a tuner for my BadLands. The gutter solutions all look like trash. If you find something that does look less trashy, let me know for sure!!!
One of the things they told us at our OffRoadeo class was they the Bronco actually starts off in Second gear when in 2WD on the road. True first gear is reserved for Off road 4L situations. I have noticed when starting down a steep hill, if you hit the down shift button on your gear shift, it sticks it in 1st and it just crawls.
I absolutely agree with the water falling in your lap with the bronco!!it pisses me off too!
So obnoxious!
Look into adding Sport Mode to your Badlands. You can do it in forscan and its well worth it. Really wakes up the turbos and seems to smooth out the shifting. Can also turn off the double honk when leaving the Bronco with the key while its running (dumbest feature).
Overall I agree with your issues. I've had my 21MY 2.7 Badlands for 2 yrs and 25k miles without any issues and love it overall but the rain issue, stock headlights, absolute crap speakers just annoy me sometimes lol.
Oh god how did I not mention that double beep! It’s so annoying!! That’s good to know though I will definitely look in to that. I think I’m the only one that’s not bothered by the speakers lol! Everyone seems to hate them but I’m not made at them haha
I enabled the Sport Mode as well and I especially notice the difference in shifting. I don't love the idea of being in 4a. I am considering installing a pedal commander for around town.
@@mikegriswold6780 you can switch back to 2H and stay in sport mode
When I first saw the spec sheets on the new bronco I really wanted one. It was 100% the ecoboost and 10 speed that kept me from pulling the trigger. That decision was purely based on past experience with ecoboost "technology". If Ford had a NA option I would have given it far more consideration. My F150 work truck suffers from the same 1st to 2nd issues. It has 65k on it now and it's still doing it. Love the bronco otherwise, but I'll stick with my trusty old Taco for now. Keep up the great content!
😂
I have had three eco boost engines actually. 2 were flee le cars and I had an ST for a while. All of them were excellent and never gave me issues at all. So the ecoboost was not a deterrent at all for me. And people rave about the 10 speed and I see why. It’s fantastic, minus that 1-2 shift.
But I didn’t have a kid and dogs to take camping, trust me man, I’d still have my trusty Tacoma. Loved that thing. My brothers got it now so I get to see it often!
Is your F-150 a 2.7 also? I sell Fords for a living, and I've never noticed the lag on the 3.5s, but I noticed it in spades on a Ranger with the 2.7 that I gave a test on the other day.
@@MartelZero Nope, 3.5. The transmission is very jerky especially the first two gears. Does a lot of hunting when it's cold as well.
We have driven a Badlands Sas Lux on and off road for a year and could not agree less with your 5 hates. Less turbo lag than any of our previous vehicles, super smooth shifting, headlights are very decent compared to most rentals and vehicles we owned. We do have other “hates” though such as wind noise, consistant rattling from different source (window rattles when open, rattling from the subwoofer, squeeks from the roof, etc) and a few other things.
Compared back to back with a Jeep though, it’s much better for us.
I think everyone is gonna have their own unique experience with this car lol. I don’t have any of the issues you have with yours. The wind noise I do have is from the rack and the squeaking it from the weight of the tent. With that off, all of it goes away even then it’s not bad though.
But yeah, way better than a Jeep!! Lol
I think there would be many different "top 5" lists. I agree that I don't have a problem with the things he listed. It doesn't rain enough where I am to have that water drip problem I hear others talk about. But my #1 would definitely be the wind noise. I deal with it, but it's far from ideal. As I understand it, Wrangler owners get about the same amount of noise. Still, I'd probably even opt for a fixed roof if that got me 6-10db quieter.
Your review is fair and useful but the background music I found iritating and instrusive. It was quite distracting. My 2c worth from Australia
5:13 that is THE BEST description of how I feel about it. That made me laugh. I’m glad it’s not just me. 😂
Reliability at 100k is more important because thats the milage prices actually get affordable some times. 5k miles is nothing you haven't even hit the first scheduled oil change
The turbochargers have to be mono-scroll because twin-scroll turbos become unbalanced when the number of pistons are uneven (V-6 has 3 cylinders be bank and each turbo covers only one bank). Your turbo lag is unfortunately typical of any vehicle equipped with mono-scroll turbos.
Also, their is a tuning issue with most Fords that have the 10-speed automatic. Ford's 8 speed automatic doesn't have this issue, but it can't handle the high torque of your engine. Not sure how to tune an automatic, but since it is computer controlled it can be done.
I agree with you on getting a gutter for the hard top Broncos. I have the same issue with my 2-door base Bronco and it is annoying (especially since it is my daily driver).
I had no idea that was a thing with twin scrolls. My only experience with them was on a 4 cylinder but as you said, that’s all on one bank so that thing ripped lol.
I have a 2021 Badlands Sasquatch. Totally agree. I added grab handles. Most annoying is the soft top dumping water on me when I am in the Chick-fil-A drive thru. Never really had an issue with the headlights at night on the trail. I downloaded the sport mode using Forscan software. No more turbo lag or transmission issue. Also removed the double honk. I race Jeeps and Tacoma's and generally harass them on the trail for fun. Baja mode is incredible. Speed is the Bronco's party piece.
The first to second shift was an issue I noticed when driving the 10AT off-road - this was one of the many reasons I think the 2.3L with the 7MT is my preference. I must be accustomed to lower brightness lights, I think they're great haha!
It’s funny, it’s not something I noticed when test driving it. And I drove it a lot. But honestly I could’ve been blinded by my desire for it. Wouldn’t have stopped me from buying it that’s for sure.
Could be that, or I could be accustomed to boarder line illegal headlights haha! My Tacoma was so bright I had people flash me all the time and that’s without the his on lol
I am at 21k with mine. No major issues yet. No gear issues in my 2023.
Funny thing reading all these comments about the shifting. I live in the mountains and noticed the hard shifts immediately. Took it in and was told it was normal. A year later, and now losing power driving up hills at slow speeds, i took it back... dealer calls me to tell me they'll have it for 3 weeks as they have to replace the transmission as it slips in second, and i basically have no 3rd gear. Mastertech told me this is common in the 22's specifically.. just fyi.
Oh man that is really good to know, thank you. Mine is a 22 so I will keep a close eye on it
I got a 2022 Badlands 4-door and for me the 1st-to-2nd gear shift takes way too long. I have to park inside a parking garage and when I'm letting it idle down the ramp at 7-10 MPH (not touching the accelerator), it rides that 1st gear until around 2000 - 2100 RPM, then shifts to 2nd. The engine weirdly ramps up to high RPM at slow speeds then remembers it needs to shift to 2nd. I know I can manually time the shift much better, but for a $60k car with an auto-transmission, I shouldn't have to.
I spoke with the dealer & they had no idea what I was talking about. I commented this issue on another RUclipsr channel (some Texas Ford dealer that made some informative videoss on Broncos) and he mentioned I could look into getting the transmission tuning reset by the factory, but since you & tons of people in the comment section are seeing a similar issue I figure the factory won't solve it.
Yeah it is so odd. I have heard multiple people comment that you can fix it through forscan which is something I haven't messed around with much, nor do I know if it affects the warranty. But it is something that I am going to look in to and may make a video on it if I can figure it out
Some have taken their Fords back to the dealership to have them turn off the transmission learn function. Those that have done this say the transmission shifts as it was designed to and not according to the learned information from the driver. Just a thought.
While I think you are much more knowledgeable about turbos than I am, I suspect it's not actually turbo lag. Have you installed a pedal commander? I haven't sensed anything I feel is actually turbo lag in my badlands, but I do feel that hesitation that I think is coming from the drive by wire pedal. I am comparing the experience to when I drive my ' 88 turbobird.
I agree that it is not the turbos, it is more of a tunning issue. And maybe that is what I should have said. I don't get the reasoning behind the late build in pressure from them.
Possibly the purpose of the turbos kicking in a little later would be as an off road vehicle when trying to get out of deep ruts or rock you do not want sudden bursts at little over idle
I agree. But in normal mode, there’s no reason to have that delay. In sport mode (which the badlands doesn’t have) apparently the lag is significantly less
The handles totally help you get in and out. Driver side, grab with left hand then put right leg in.
I find myself pulling in the steering wheel far more then I’d like to get in so I don’t like using it. Seems to be a common complaint but I’m glad it works for you!
That 10 speed is a crazy one....I have it in my 2022 Explorer ST and it feels kind of jolty and unrefined.
In my 60 years on this earth, and having owned and driven over 40 different cars. I can tell you this. No car is perfect, and I have had cars from the simple basic cheap no options, to special ordering top of the line vehicles with every option possible. I have found that every car I have owned I have either had to custom make, custom alter the vehicle, or go third party aftermarket to make the vehicle the way I want it, or to correct flaws with it. Even then…. It still wasn’t perfect.
However, there are about ten things that I wish ford had done different with the Bronco, that one can’t change (as far as I know) with after market parts or even custom parts.
From what ive seen on the interwebs what your feeling is not turbo lag its a torque management program in the transmission and im with you on hating that dead spot when you nail the pedal. I think a tune will eventually fix this
There’s a couple on the market that apparently will fix this. I need to look in to them more. I just don’t understand why this was intentionally programmed in like that
@@OFFTHEGRIND I don't know either it's a soft for me too
HATE = Click-Bait, It's all about Liking / Loving This Bronco!! Keep it in Sport-Mode and you'll love it - less lag.
I agree. Nothing I truly HATE about rig! I don’t have sport mode, but looking in to a tune from ford perfomance that should help
Gripe 1. The turbo lag is from the Ford OEM tune not the turbos. Get a Whipple or Ford Performance tune reflash and you will be much happier with pedal response.
Gripe 3. Again, get a Whipple or Ford Performance tune reflash. You will be MUCH happier.... and it is a tune issue to protect 1st gear from too much torque.
Love your content! You're the best! This is my obligatory comment to enhance your RUclips algorithm performance.
Haha thanks so much! I appreciate that!
Keep an eye put for Diode Dynamics to make a better bulb for your Bronco. Maybe call them and ask if itlf anything coming.
I think they are just 9005 size bulbs which they actually already make. But since it’s in a housing I can’t see spending that amount for those. I need to find something though
There is no turbo lag on the V6..try using premium gas
I tested the headlights for the factory--twice..they are excellent. Try getting some glasses
silly video
It’s all just opinion so piss off. Silly comment
@@OFFTHEGRIND Its a fact so go buy a FIAT Goober
I actually do notice a difference with regular gas and premium. I actually thought premium was only for high octane engines like sports cars. When the manual said premium fuel ups the HP I didn’t really buy it untill I switched back to regular gas and noticed less “pick up”.
Either way.. it still has more power than my old Rubicon I traded in.
I believe they fixed the shifting issue on 23 models. Mine doesn’t have that issue. The grab handles I agree with however my Jeep I had a few years ago didn’t come with them either, it was an after market fix. I haven’t noticed a turbo lag yet but I haven’t really pushed it yet so I’ll see. I haven’t had the experience with the lights you have, however my trucks Ford and Chevy have had terrible lights in bad weather conditions. Especially my Ford trucks.
I have heard a lot about forscan being able to fix a lot of the complaints that I have had with it. But that said, I wouldn’t change the purchase at all. I absolutely love it!
I have a Ford bronco 2023 black diamond made in November 2023 and they still haven’t fixed that issue with shifting through the first three gears. the shifting is absolute shit the car jerks between first and second and 2nd and third so initially I thought the issue was it’s a new vehicle and the gas pedals extra sensitive so I tried to just gradually press on the gas pedal and there’s no way to get it shift smoothly in the first three gears. I can’t imagine that Ford would turn off the learn function on the transmission and I can’t imagine that it would not void your warranty if you use Ford scan yourself, or someone else to do it.
I have the 2.7 in my F150 and have zero turbo lag...I'd get that looked at if I was you.
The lacking gutters do get me. I get a lot of water coming inside.
I would like to put grab handles on the part you did but what happens if the airbag comes out in the event there is a accident thy come out with alot of force so I would imagine that handel coming off would hurt like to know other people's take on this
I love my 23 bronco, my major issue to me is that it only has 2 cup holders ya I know to most that might not be an issue but when you have kids and theirs no place to put a cup than it’s becomes an issue
Lol I agree! Luckily my kid is in a car seat still with cup holders but I can totally see that being an issue in the future.
Yours must be the 4-door, because the 2-door has 4 cupholders. That could be some Alannis Morrisette style irony right there.
If you dont mind me asking, what offset are those wheels.... They look awesome, I went to the site and didn't realize they are hybrid wheels. They are what I have been looking for.
Haha no worries man! They are a -12 offset from relation race wheels
So how has reliability been? What milage are you at.
Right now I’m at 6600 miles and have had not a single issue with it. It’s been perfect!
The lag is the same in my 2018 Raptor with the 3.5 Eco boost...not good! Wait till you get into the 30-45K mile range and let us know if you have the cam phaser issues as we in the Raptor's have had...terrible engines..the shifting in Sport mode is sketchy with huge bumps between shifts...It is a tuning issue and can be resolved....
I have heard from a lot of people that have been able to tune their vehicles and have had better luck with it. Seems weird thought hat ford would tune in these hard shift points cause that it really not great for the drivetrain long term.
It is a 2.7 with 2 turbos dude. Reprogram the ECU if you want more power. Get a new waste gate. The automatic is set up for your program.
Turbo lag? 😂 not really how i would describe the 2.7L ECO-Boost. Im not sure what vehicle/setup you are comparing the platform to, but the Bronco has very little turbo lag all things concidered, it spools almost as fast as my 2014 Focus ST stock turbo (also ECO-Boost platform) and that car is noted for its incredibly fast spool and subsequent low end torque. 2300 / 2500 is an amazing turbo peak boost. I have never felt like my bronco 2.7L twin doesn't spool fast enough.
If you put your foot down from a stand still, it just feels like nothing is happening and then all the sudden it hit around 2500-3000 rpm. In the turboed cars I have driven (I actually owned a focus st as well) it felt like it rolled in to the power a LITTLE better, but definitely lower in the rpm. The engine just feels dead to me sub 2500 rpm
When your steering locked up in the snow….. and the wranglers were ok ….that was a deal breaker for me
That was the fault of an aftermarket part not ford itself. We have a stock bronco on that trip with no issues at all
@@OFFTHEGRIND 👍🏼
I hate how the engine sounds on start up. I have 2.3L and it’s very noisy engine. Not like V8 grumble but just real ticky noises like something is breaking lol. It only sounds like that on start up but from what I hear it’s normal for these engines. I never knew a 4 cylinder could be so damn loud in the morning
That sucks! I honestly don’t have that issue with the 2.7 so I wonder why that 2.3 is so noisy
Maybe the shift gear could be something with turbo engines, my 2018 Honda accord 2.0 is the same when I’m those gears (I somewhat notice it in my bronco but I guess I got used to it with my accord)
My wife actually has the same accord with the 10 speed and I have not noticed it in that. I should drive it again and see. I could be a gear ratio thing though since first is so short
I like this but that markup has been so brutal. I have a 17 tacoma off road in quicksand so im real happy but this has been on my radar. I am also a tech so toyota vs ford in reliability...but i would like to drive one one day. They're real nice
The markup is insane for sure. It’s crazy too that it’s on almost every vehicle. Just a new wave of bullshit we have to deal with
Great info and agree on every point as the same issues with my Badlands. Love your wheels by the way.
How many Jeep guys have switched to the bronco. Honestly wondering this
Not enough lol. That’s a good question though, I would be curious
Mine had the same issue from 1st to 2nd. Seems to have gone away at about 20k miles 🤷♂️
Oh man that’s so far away lol good to know though
Turbo lag.... Turbo drivers learn. Look up Hans Stuck driving the Audi Quattro rally car. Foot in it through the corners to keep the boost. Big turbos lag even more. It is not a V8, don't expect peak torque below 3000 rpm. You would hate the 2024 ZR1 'vette (or any NA Honda Type-R). Life begins about 5000 rpms. So don't be afraid of 3k.
Fog lights - Really? You want Ford to supply those? The factory headlights get you on the road. It is setup to add those including A pillar, lights in the modular, roof lights. I added a Mabett winch mount on the modular and got the Harbor Freight "Badlands" APEX 1200 on a 20% off day.
Spot on on the gear shift. It never rev matches correctly. Someone screwed up the mapping.
The lack of grab handles is not an oversight. The bolts are there for that purpose. I got black/orange to match the Badlands trim.
Off to see 5 likes.
Grab handles are trading for frame design and airbag location. Easy to add. No ford liability.
The healight output is nothing to write home about... but i would say that it is comparible to other well equipped vehicles with nice healights.
I think with Fords facotroy easy installation features for added lights well offsets the "lack of light output". Just my opinion.
Yeah I agree. It is really nice having some amber fogs in addition to the factory lights
Look at it this way...most jeep owners would be happy if they had only 5 things they hated about their jeeps. Their list is usually around 15-20 items. Lol
Hahaha that’s a good point! Also I feel like that’s a good way to start a fight by saying that lol
Turn the music down... You are giving good info and background music the entire way through is a distraction. Had to stop half way through and read the comments.
Thanks for the feedback. In the edit I could barely hear the music so it’s weird that it changes depending on where you listen to it. The 5 things I love video won’t have music at all
You do know that bigger turbos don’t necessarily mean more torque? And for off-roading torque is more important than horsepower.
Yes I understand that. My mentioning the size of the turbos was to so how surprised I was with the lag is all
@@OFFTHEGRIND I suspect the lag is tuned so you don’t get a bump at low rpms when you want maximum throttle control.
That’s a fair point. I’ve heard sport mode has way less lag but the badlands doesn’t have it
@@OFFTHEGRIND Baja is Sport 4x4. Sport is available with some minor hacking.
I'm sure that alot of people noticed the hose clamps on the turbo pipes. To me it's a quality thing and a pride thing. Do you not think that they should have used a smaller clamp so the tail isn't so long flapping in the wind. It looks bad like they don't even care about shit like that and use whatever you have. So ya it's definitely a quality thing. I'm the one saying it and not everyone else. It's my opinion and not necessarily everyone else.👍🇨🇦🔧
Ford dumbs down our motors heavily, i have a ford ranger tremor and even tuned you will feel lag. Pedal commander is amazing and i felt it alot less when i started using one but once i upgraded the CAI and intercooler i never feel the turbo lag anymore.
Sure you're not waiting for the 10 speed to kick down and thinking it's lag? 🤷
Where do you get the OTG hat?
You can get one at get Offthegrind.com
For starters, why does your door sound like a 78’ Jimmy?? Lol.
What about the lack of a solid axle? That doesn’t bother you?
Absolutely not. What would it?
@@OFFTHEGRIND I was curious because I was trying to decide which way to go. I’ve heard that the solid axle lasts longer and takes more punishment. Less complicated etc.
Went from a Jeep to Bronco. Drives WAY better.
@@PathsLessTraveled yep. They are made for the road more than jeeps are.
Drive in sport for low turbo lag

@@OFFTHEGRIND looks neat! Great rig btw
Thanks man! I love this thing!

Geez man, how much light do you need!? The road is already a toxic wasteland of blinding light pollution and these are some of the brightest now they could hit a wider angle that’s true.
Turn off traction control completely and drop it in sport mode. Hold the trac button for about 15 seconds
I don’t have sport mode on the badlands. What does this do though?
Nice review. Would like to know what your average mpg is with the 2.7 engine. Thanks.
I’m getting 17 mpg still. But I do have an intake and exhaust and lighter wheels, all of which help me get better mileage
@@OFFTHEGRIND I average 17 mpg with a 2.3 engine. That is my main dislike. Nice vehicle otherwise.
You say hate in the title then in the intro say hates a strong word. Your word means nothing now 😂
Just playing the game. RUclips pushes extremes. “Things that are of slight inconvenience” doesn’t get the clicks
good video - annoyingly loud and unnecessary music.
Turbo! Rock climbing? Turbo lag on a fire road really necessary? Larger displacement, more torque, less tech maybe? Bye bye Ford, you really don't get it.
What I regret is that you own one. Titling you video like that is stupid. At least to bronco owners.
I agree. This crappy thing about RUclips is the vast majority of people who consume content here are attracted to drama and negativity. As a content creator I have to play the game a little even though I hate it. Let me also say I’m done doing these videos. I don’t like doing them despite them getting views. I just want to do adventure videos
Turbo lag? I just got my Sasquatch with the 2.7 and haven’t experienced any turbo lag for say….I haven’t mashed on it hard from a stop or turn but half throttle or better and it just jumps on command! My wife and I both have broncos with the 2.7 . Hers is the base model with 3.73s with 35s and she doesn’t complain about power either….her old 17 ford edge had turbo lag and she bitched about it all the time 😅
From my experience it is completely powerless under 2500 rpm. From a stop when it can’t down shift there is nothing there
@@OFFTHEGRIND that’s weird bud! I would think if there was something technically wrong with it the check engine light would pop on! Maybe that pedal command thing people talk about would help or a tuner? I’ve read people say a tuner really wakes these broncos up!
@@OFFTHEGRIND i was playing around with the GOAT mode yesterday experimenting while switching back and forth from sport to eco to normal!
What a difference if power on sport mode! I heard numerous comments from other channels about the power increase on sport mode…..throttle sensation changes dramatically from eco to sport …..in fact on sport mode in town is rather annoying….very light throttle gets ya moving quickly and on other people’s ass ….normal or eco mode is much easier to drive in town….my next experiment is to fill up on premium and try sport mode! Lol
People need to STOP with these ultra bright headlights. IF you can't see, get glasses or stay off the roads. If you are offroading and need more lighting for that specific purpose, they make plenty of accessory lighting that you can add to your heart's desire. But the day we get rid of these ultra bright hyper white lights can't come soon enough. Great that you can see the world lit up from 20 miles away but you're blinding everyone else on the road, and I doubt that's safe.
Glasses don’t help you at night.
Get the bronco raptor PERIOD
Not for what they’re asking for them. Insanity man
I’m sorry to hear you have so many concerns.
I know what you mean by turbo lag, but I solved this by adding Sport to my GOAT modes, no lag at all!
My last was a Focus St, with the 2L eco boost, traded it in with almost 300,000kms, still ran hard and never had any issues. You just have to know that ecoboost’s require extra maintenance, 3000miles between oil changes and ALWAYS synthetic and a MOTORCRAFT FL filter, but what do I know! lol
Lights, I sort of agree, but you can’t really expect the strength of HID lights to LED, but LED lights do have their advantages in some situations, still light years better than Halogen lights and so,e vehicles still have those.
I really don’t have any shifting issues, love the 10 speed, you are talking Normal GOAT, correct?
Meh to adding gutters, not an issue, even coming from having side window deflectors. lol
I added similar grab handles, I find I don’t really use them though, but I have stirrup steps, maybe that helps.
Giddy up 👍🐴🐴🥌🤘
2021 2 Dr Badlands w/Sasquatch 2.7L/Lux. 25,000miles with not a single issue…knock on wood! lol
I really had to think to find these honestly. I freaking love my bronco and would not change anything. My things I love video which will come out next week, that was hard to narrow down so the things I chose are pretty broad lol! I’ve had an ST as well and it work flawlessly. I’ve actually had a few ecoboost engines and literally never had an issue so I’m hoping this will be the same for me. Cheers!
I would rather have the Ford Everest
nice to know
The headlights sounds like how mine are on the new explorers. They suck! The bronco sport has better headlights.
I’d never buy eco-boost anything on any gas power plant. Call me paranoid… Unless it’s a diesel, no boost at all. I just want an engine to last over 150k without a major fix.
Just spend the 150 bucks and have it tuned.
