This vehicle is so smooth driving. Ford did a great job on the suspension system. You can't beat that HOSS! Literally feel like I can just plow over anything smoothly 🤣 it has been fun getting in tune with all the modes 💁♀️ I've had a jeep in the past and it was a standard as well. My Bronco is better by far. I ordered mine in 2020 and waited 2 years for mine. Worth the wait!
This was my exact spec before Ford axed Cyber Orange. This color was only a one year option on the Base, and most didn't get built in time. This will end up being a VERY rare spec with the 7mt. Still made about cyber orange leaving :(
I got a 22 base manual no option oxford white due in in a week or two I hope it's being built right now can't wait I can just afford it as a poor government worker.
Hopefully you have it now. On my long wait I wondered many times if it was worth it but now that I have it, yeah, it is, and given the trouble Ford is having getting these out, I expect it to hold value well.
@@geoffreyfagan1798 not yet it says shipped 2/1/23 but I read there's a big backup in Texas so I took the bronco sport badlands out for quite the adventure and definitely pushed it to it's limits which really are only limited by ground clearance. Honestly I'm happy with the sport and if it takes more time I'm ok as long as the value doesn't dropuch which honestly even at 14500 miles it's like a thousand under MSRP is all still. I tell you if it was so hard to get a fullsize bid put it off and keep the sport for a while but this may be my only chance at a decent prices bronco for years the ways things are.
@@sock979 Badlands only limited by ground clearance? You don't miss a low range transfer case? I guess it doesn't matter now I have my fullsize, but that's why I never got the sport. Full size base has no locker, though, so I'll be curious how you compare it. If you're paying MSRP after all that waiting, probably a bargain even if you sell it on, as they're still going used for more than new, and Ford is still having trouble witrh hard tops.
@@geoffreyfagan1798 yeah never missed low range just went to devil's bridge in Sedona in it and was a cake walk except the first man made hump that's meant to keep out people who shouldn't be back there I guess kind of funny that's one I had to be careful with when I parked it all lifted modded out Rubicon's and TRD's a some sasquatch's and my little sport I took a picture everyone kept talking as I drove by what is he doing back here but it was easy put it in mud/ruts not even rockcrawl and costed although I'm pretty sure the computer was still using the rear diff even if it wasn't lit up cuz i drove back in normal mode for most and was still good
Definitely eyeing one, waiting for the dealer markups to go down. I feel like this is popular enough to have a huge aftermarket support to buy better stuff than the overpriced factory options...
I'm wondering if it really is a lot of vehicle for the money. Especially offroad. No clearance to speak of, no rear locking rear differential even. I feel I made a better decision with my Ranger XL with a rear locker, plus I've got room for camping gear on my offroad excursions.
Jeff, I salute Ford for offering a basic, affordable, 2 door, manual 4X4. If Ford can do it and Jeep can do it, why won't Toyota send one of theirs to us as well ? 🤔
because toyota is over engineered and awesome i had a 300$ camry that leaked so much oil it wasn’t worth putting a liter in every day, drove it a year before the engine made noises with no oil
My 2023 2DR BaseSquatch 2.7 is scheduled to be built next month and I will get the 2021 price protection. I’ve been waiting for two years since I first ordered my Bronco and 31 months since I reserved one.
@@ramonahumada4 I almost bought a Focus ST years ago. I still love shifting gears. Automatic is too boring for me. This bronco may be the last manual I’ll have though.
Have you noticed the grinding/ scraping sound in your transmission at cold startup yet ? Seems that Ford’s Chinese transmissions have bad synchro gears in the 5th and 6th gears. There’s a TSB on it from Ford. My dealer ordered the parts to fix mine which of course are back ordered with an unknown eta. The dealer is going to fix the other two recalls on it while they have it. I’ve really enjoyed the truck but I’m very disappointed to have a bad transmission at 4 thousand miles.
I had my tranny take a dump 9 days after I got it - which was the first day I was on a long highway drive in those top gears. Took 3 months to get the parts, and this was after I'd waited over a year for delivery. But it works great now and is a blast to wheel.
Enjoyed your video a drive would have been nice . Nearly identical to mine , don’t have the roof rails or door bag , I have 2sets of the wheels now there must be loads of them out there not many people like them 🙂
It's accessory ready everywhere on it. I added a hitch and took me not even 10 minutes to install ...up under it has holes already where you just bolt in hitch. Easiest thing to add it was actually the first thing I added. I didnt change my retro rims. I like to be different. I don't like to do everything everyone else does. I get nothing but comps on my bronco and staredowns. And when you put this sucker in sport mode don't think for one second it is slow its pretty quick for what it is. That turbo kicks in lol I enjoy my manual! 💁♀️
It's not a factory option on base, and it's not a deliverable option on anything else, either, but trailer sway control is built in, and it doesn't need special cooling to tow. You just need the hitch (all you need if you just want a cargo platform or bike rack), the 4pin wiring harness (all you need for 3000# trailer), the 7pin conversion, and brake controller.
@@melissareyna3820 Love my manual, too. It doesn't come with "trail control" or "one pedal driving" but crawl gear is functionally the same, stays slow and steady up or downhill, usually stops but doesn't stall if you take your foot off the gas, and if it does stall on a steep climb, it just automatically restarts. I never thought I'd like the engine turning off at a stop light, but since the first thing you do to get going again is depress the clutch, that starts the engine and it's ready as soon as you put it in 1st.
@@AutoJeffReviews awesome. I enjoy your reviews. Incidentally when I was looking at getting a Tacoma, I watched your review of the 2021 Tacoma. I ended up getting the Army Green TRD Off-Road 6-speed manual. So keep up them reviews! 🙂
This man is like if Scotty Kilmer and Doug DeMuro had a middle aged baby.
That would be some baby hahahaha. Thanks for watching!

I have a 2021 base and I love it. I put 265/75-16s on the silver wheels, looks good! Best vehicle I ever had.
1:55 we fit back here, we sit back here, and *git* back here 😂
I hate that i can't get the locking rear diff option without $8000 in add ons. The Ranger has it as a separate option
i have this exact model with these specs in velocity blue. love my 2 dr manual base

Thanks!
That is a lot of vehicle for the money. I think the Raptor is amazing, but for the low to mid 30’s, this would be a blast.

They did, it was the FJ.. it failed… overpriced, crappy gas mileage, ridiculous suicide doors to get in the back.
I got a base model 4 runner for $36k in may 2020. 4X4 too

Hey Jeff, I took off the roof rack. Let’s take off the doors and roof soon. This Bronco is great and fun to drive.
Sure let’s do it!
My 2023 2DR BaseSquatch 2.7 is scheduled to be built next month and I will get the 2021 price protection. I’ve been waiting for two years since I first ordered my Bronco and 31 months since I reserved one.
I reserved 2 door bad lands on the day they announced it and I just got a month ago, they also honored price whch was cool
most interested in how it drive on road, the shifter funness
I subscribed when you went full karate kid
I feel like these will become sought after classics in the future if they proove to be reliable.
Nice!
Manual transmission forever !!🥇🏆👍💪
Awesome!!!
Sand mode is "Enter Sandman" by Metallica! 😊
YESSS!
Ha ha pump up the jams!
Yes!!
Excellent. Not sure if you have done one yet with top off but will look for it. Also no soft top on two door right?
I’ll have to check on soft top. My friend Scott and I need to do a driving video with the top off and how to take top off and doors off
@@AutoJeffReviews let's do it, Jeff. We just need to sync up our busy schedules.
I have the same, but with the automatic! Amazing vehicle. Super comfy and roomy. The automatic makes it quicker. Love it!
awesome what color did you get? Cyber orange?
@@AutoJeffReviews I wanted that color, but I ended up getting the green! I also have the 2021 Race red 4 door Sasquatch, 2.7, lux package, Badlands.
Manual is fun and easy. I'll race you if let me use Sport mode
@@yoscottmc I drove a Focus ST for 7 years and a Fiesta St for 3! I know how fun they are, but I’m done changing gears.

Nice wheels!
Hi Preston!
How does it drive?
You say it can tow 3500 lbs but I can’t find the trailer hitch as an option!?!
It's accessory ready everywhere on it. I added a hitch and took me not even 10 minutes to install ...up under it has holes already where you just bolt in hitch. Easiest thing to add it was actually the first thing I added. I didnt change my retro rims. I like to be different. I don't like to do everything everyone else does.

I installed a Curt hitch yesterday. Also added an extended so my Yakima bike rack can clear the spare tire.
The wheels are “so retro, so raw, so rugged” and so getting replaced by almost every base Bronco buyer before they even bring the vehicle home.
Are you not with Toyota anymore?
This is his other channel.
I have 2 channels. I decided a year ago to also review other brands because it was interesting to me to see what else is out there
@@AutoJeffReviews love what you do!! Keep going

If only GM would bring back a proper Blazer to compete with the bronco & wrangler 😭
Wonder If Ram Will Bring back the Ramcharger 4X4.
I would have spent more . The only nice feature about that vehicle is its color
Any 2 door Bronco is rare.
The engine and transmission in my TJ would be awesome. The Bronco is too fat for my use.
4Runner is the toughest keep ford
