Robin’s Egg Blue isn’t exclusive to the Heritage Limited in 2024 (though it was last year). I ordered a 2024 base Heritage with a manual trans in the color in August 2023 (I think it looks awesome - esp. with the white top and white alloys on the base) and it should pair better with the dark blue plaid cloth seats. Just got notification from Ford it’s scheduled for production later this month.
The lifted suspension, big tires, and square shape will ruin fuel economy no matter what engine is used. Ford just put the 2.7 in it because they already use the engine in other products.
I’m not drawn by color combination, especially not enough to pay for a premium over the regular Bronco. $73k is way too much. I’m thinking I’d rather buy a used 4x4 or something far more comfortable, like the new LEXUS GX.
Of course in Canada most cars trucks over priced in Ontario Everything over priced and dealer bs fees What I don't understand is dealers have tons of cars sitting not selling and have tons of cars from even 4 years ago in their lot and still over pricing cars
Brown leather? Like the alpine umber in the Denali Ultimate GMCs?? 😂 *gm* can’t have anything without Ford bitting off of it and trying to recreate it.
Took a lot of styling cues from the Toyota FJ Cruiser on this model. Feels like we’ve been here before. Um… @73k the rear bumper should not be plastic. Come on Ford!
What do you have to say about the plastic bumper on the Toyota Tundra? Maybe you weren't born, maybe you didn't live in North America in the late 60s, this is not cued after an FJ Cruiser, give me a break......
- less plastic and more premium materials - lower price it ain’t worth the MSRP and the dealer markups as well - power folding mirrors - full digital gauge cluster - bigger engine I know I’m not much of an expert at all but I’m sure people would want this typa stuff in it
Sofyan had me for a second when he said "You startup the vehicle" and grabbed the vent. Thought Ford was going to push some boundaries. Also, floor not flat. Sounds like a great place to add a battery. PHEV?

nice video but the 12inch scrren is actually standard on all models now i been on the bronco site and its standard now and the base model is no more ford got rid of it so thats what is new for 2024>
This should be a $40,000 vehicle - at most - as tested. It's still a crude vehicle, body on frame, solid rear axle, hard plastic interior etc. Yes, I realize those materials and build methods are used to make the vehicle off road functional. But they are also relatively inexpensive. You have to be high to spend some $70,000 on this. ESPECIALLY if you are just purchasing it for looks, and don't actually go off road.
Good looking vehicle. I like he combo of engine and tran and interior is nice. I wish they had full gauges instead of that wonky styled one in this. Still, not much else out there like it.
No sport mode because the HEL is based off a Badlands, and it to does not have sport mode because the Badland is the Bronco rock crawler trim. Of course you can use Forescan to add Sport mode.
I never understood why the rear door hinges on the right side. As you noted, if you're parallel parked and the car behind you is close, how are you supposed to unload stuff onto the sidewalk?? 🤦
I remember how popular these nostalgic cars were and they looked amazing!! the PT cruiser, the prowler, the HHR or the SSR!(im being sarcastic but i actually liked the SSR)
well becaue the bronco back then did not have a lots of fetures and tech it was more bare bones it was made for offroad and body on farme. but because we live in the modern times were buying even offroaders have become more luxury and tech including the bronco and the fact that ford having issues building lots of them. so your basically paying for all the new tech and modern tech like smart key bigger display everything so lots off different in price
It’s a press fleet vehicle built for reviewing and the show circuit, it’s most likely a 24. Manufacturers produce them months before production to get them previewed and tested by the media.
Honda needs to come out with a off roader something tells me this will be as bad as the ford escape a piece of junk in a couple years but it’s cute but for the price I’ll get a Land Cruiser or a 4Runner they last forever
MSRP doesn't even come close to telling how much this will cost paying interest over 6 to 7 years . Build it on Fords site and the numbers come to approx $85k for 6 years.
You do understand that you're not required to finance the vehicle, & that even if you do, you're not required to make minimum loan payments for the entirety of the loan, right?

You should look at that year. You probably have a 23 not a 24. The 24's just went into production just this past week. They are pretty much the same though with just a couple of changes. And the Robin's egg blue is now and option for both Heritage edition and Heritage Limited edition too.
He gets press fleet vehicles directly from manufacturers, he doesn’t get them from dealer lots, that gets him early access to vehicles. Some are even preproduction . It’s definitely a ‘24.
@shamelessnjc OK, I can see that. Ford is really a stickler about pre-production vehicles. And usually they only give them to someone linked to ford, like Bronco Nation etc... But more power to him if he did. They are really the same as 23's pretty much so I could see where he may have got this one. There were only a few changes on 24's.
Is is worth 73K ? Absolutely not. But you don’t buy a car like this based its value. You subscribe to the history, heritage, looks and a stand out factor.
Ford made use of the trim name Heritage Edition to denote the top of the line trim for the 1979 Thunderbird, the final year of the 7th generation models. They also made use of this term for the 2nd and 3rd years of the 8th generation Thunderbird, 1981-82, and the first year of the 9th generation, the 1983 Thunderbird. I'm unsure if the term Heritage Edition was used on any other Ford vehicles until now.
So happy car companies are getting away from boring gray, black, and white. It’s beautiful
Agreed!

Love this heritage edition in all the colors.

Which one did you get?
The car is starting to have problems and I may have to sell it.@@specter116
The only change I see with this over the 2023 is the astronomical price hike
@@Ac_Adapter what’s your definition of poor, in numbers?
Everything has gone up some , Broncos are quite inexpensive compared to the majority of specialty vehicles, Might buy a second one
For a V6 to get worse fuel economy than a V8, what’s even the point?
The lifted suspension, big tires, and square shape will ruin fuel economy no matter what engine is used. Ford just put the 2.7 in it because they already use the engine in other products.

Soybean, thanks for reviewing this beast! You tha man!
We need a limited OJ edition.
Ford NEEDS to do this with the mustang! If they made a “heritage” 1965-66 mustang it would hands down be their best modern mustang!
That was basically the 2005 mustang
Nice truck❤
Great looking ride. Love it! ❤
Amazing job Sofyan.
I knew i saw a video posted earlier. Now its back lpl
I would get this exact trim and color 👍🏾.
You're really great. Wow! BTW they just need to create a matching white canvas convertible top--instead their current black-only canvas top.
Wheels look smooth.
YOUR BIGGEST KENYAN FAN, SUBSCRIBER, LIKER, COMMENTER RIGHT HERE, AS USUAL, 11/01/2024
Surprised Ford haven't gone with the OJ 90s Edition yet.
Would definitely be a bad move for PR reasons but I'd laugh my ass off if somebody made a factory all white one of these 😂
You can’t have a rear hatch door folding out into traffic.

5.0 would sell well. Especially if it was sold in the “heritage” package.

17mpg. Just for entertainment and style. Is this progress?
