Can it Conquer our Mountain Course? 2024 Ford Bronco Sasquatch Tested! 

Arguably the best Automotive Channel on RU-vid. Unarguably my personal favorite automotive channel on RU-vid.

still underrated channel. Great video guys

This trail is the best. I love reviews at this trail. Bronco with Sasquatch is pretty brave, Great review. Greetings

Great vid Ryan! Good to see another Bronco out at your course! A little practice, and the trail turn assist is a really cool feature.

I just picked up my Bronco Wildtrak. I fricken love it! The thing is so nice and so capable. I cant wait to get it out on some good trails.

I like my Race Red, but that Rapid Red is something else!!

Wow the bronco can drive down fire roads 😂. Make the course more challenging, let's have some fun!

I love this trail! thanks a lot, Ryan!

Excellent video, again, Ryan. Great intro to an awesome package. To all my fans out there, Christmas is coming?????? Just sayin'...

Plastic oil pan and no skid plates? That is the true and ultimate Mall Crawler!

I would love to see that compared to a new Bronco Sport Sasquatch. They are priced similarly, both have turbo 4s, both have all terrain tires, but the small Bronco Sport has underbody protection and presumably slightly better fuel economy for when on the road,

Lobster 🤣 outstanding video, looks like a fun machine to conquer that course with love the color. I would definitely choose a 2 door Bronco over the Jeep Wrangler.

I like your videos, snd the trails you built, thank you. As for the bronco its really an amazing machine, more ability than the wranger with the ability to drive it on road, and better interior and off road tools. As for the skid plates every other model has them or offers them for less than $400.

Ryan, For crying out loud, how can they let such a capable 4X4 leave the factory without skid plates? 😧

The sasquatch package should be the "I am gonna go offroad" package. How the hell does it not include underbody protection?

Ridiculous price.

Great video, I hope you get your hands on the Bronco Sport version soon

Great video Ryan! Ty!

Another great video, Ryan. As Washington off-road newbie I always learn so much from your content. Really good point about the lack of underbody protection here. Curious if for a similar price you think a non-Sasquatch Badlands would be better than a Big Bend Sasquatch?

Not sure what is going on, but youtube will not show me your channel in my feeds. I have to manually look for you, even though I am subbed. Loved your reviews, as always

As an OBW owner, I feel guilty for wanting to trade for this. Great video as always.

I much rather have a Honda Pilot Trailsport for about same price. Sure it doesn’t have all of Bronco capability, but for 99% of other use cases, it is superior, and a naturally aspirated V6 engine, and quiet and smooth ride.

Nice video Ryan! I love this course, when will you bring out the land cruiser on this track?

Honest question I have an OBW with various skidplates but I got it solely for winter driving. For those that get these $60k offroaders or big offroad trucks wouldn't it just be better to get whatever vehicle you want/need for road driving and just bring a dirtbike? I mean a $5k CRF250 would do any of these trails without batting an eye and if something happens it's not your $60k + main vehicle.

Great video today! I'd pick the Bronco

I was considering a 2dr, then 4dr Bronco Badlands Sasquatch, but the real dealbreaker for me was the frameless windows. I cross a 9,300ft pass to get to work at about 7,200ft, and if the window freezes, you're screwed because the door wants to roll the window down about 1/2" to clear the seal...and it can't. So, when you force the door open (NOT good) then you close it again and the window is now bent outwards and not sealing (REALLY not good). The vast majority of people will NEVER take the doors off, and will only rarely take even the front part of the top off and will have to deal with the squeaks and leaks. So, all those compromises plus having the utility of an actual bed made me buy a blue, loaded w/moonroof 2024 Colorado ZR2, and I love it. The offroad capability is the same and I lose a little departure angle, but I more than make up for that in the bed's utility. I plan on adding the Bison's jounce damper kit ($2,800 + installation), maybe some 34's, and a skidplate for the tranny (though it's probably safe WAY up there), fuel tank, ad rear diff, and that's probably it. I'm a noob offroader but it's already seen 5 full days in Moab and some other stuff, and the thing is amazing, NEVER feels like it struggled at all. Great vid as always!

i wish my 4Runner would engage the locker as seamless as this lol

Can’t go wrong with a Bronco or Jeep. IMO a Bronco Sasquatch is more capable than most jeeps. Rubicon in stock 33s may be very very slightly more capable than a Sasquatch Badlands but very close. Badlands has larger tires but doesn’t have the solid front axle. Rubicon with 35s is more capable but to be honest, most buyers don’t use the full capability anyway. That being the case, Bronco is much more comfortable in the road so I would go Bronco all day

Time for a Bronco VS Land Cruiser test...

Great video Ryan! When will you take a Bronco Sport Badlands with Sasquatch package on the same course??

Simply too expensive. These SAS cars are now easily over 50K to start with destination - Ford killed the base+SAS package and bumped up prices a TON across the range. Toyota's LC 1958's are at near 60K, people are saying 58K mid-size trucks (Ranger Raptor and well optioned TRD Offroads) are "reasonable". The truth is OEMs are going to kill demand once the new launch hype dies down with these prices as people price out a 7% loan over 5 years for a 60K car. A lot of the price increases are greed and assumes strong customer demand - The Japanese YEN is very low vs USD, making it much cheaper for Toyota to import Japan made cars like LC to NA, but they are pricing them a lot higher than they sell it in the domestic market!!!

First of all: Exactly zero out of 10,000 RU-vid reviews ever tell you the payload capacity of the Bronco they are driving. From what I can find, it varries between 900 pounds to 1400 pounds, and that's a huge difference. For someone looking to overland in a vehicle with more than one person in the vehicle, this stat is extremely important, but it's nowhere to be found anywhere on RU-vid or in any of the Bronco forums: how much payload capacity does a 6 lose versus a 4; what about soft top versus hard top? One of these models can be had with 33's; what's the ground clearance? It should be higher than the 32's and less than the 35's, but that stat is also elusive; also, what's the difference in payload between 32's, 33's and 35's? All these questions could be answered if reviewers just said, "this is the model I am testing, these are the options, and here is the sticker inside th door...." Now on to what everyone else complains about: price. It's good to see a Bronco review that isn't a Raptor or Heritage 1st Edition. I feel like 90% of RU-vid is focused on vehicle models less than 1% will drive. However, even this "base level" is insultingly expensive. Manual, non-leather seats; worst sound system on the planet; plastic bumper with no skid plates. This is a great no-frills model to build off of; if this was 40k, it would be awesome. You could then add whatever bumper you want, customize the interior to your liking, etc. For 55k, it's absurd. Like, insulting. You can get a fully spec'd out ZR2 for a bit less; premium sound, ventilated seats, more payload, similar ground clearance and front and rear lockers, and skid plates. Heck, you can get a Ranger Raptor for 57k. I get those are trucks, but throw a topper on the back.

Great video, what would the cost be to put armor under this bronco?

One thing not a lot of folks are talking about. The v6 4runner is still selling well with great options from Wrangler and Bronco available. Unless Toyota completely screws up the price, I think the new 4runner is likely to take a sizable chunk of sales from both models.

thx for the video!! made me glad that I bought 2024 wrangler rubicon x... I was never ford fan. Unless of course... Ford came out with OJ edition! :)

Love your channel, but my gosh the ads have become EXTREMELY annoying. Like 10 ads in a < 20 min video?? Seriously?? Some ads at the start are OK, but when an ad suddenly pops in during the middle of the video, it is really annoying and totally breaks the immersion. Anyway, back to vehicles, as someone else said, I would love to see you take the Bronco Sport on this test, sort of a middle ground between the hardcore off roaders and the Crosstrek, which was clearly out of its element on the harder parts of the course.

let's do about ford everest

That's a great 4x4 vehicle! But the crash test results are scary to say the the least! And, the reliability is questionable. Thanks for all of you're reviews.

55 grand and they can’t give you freaking skid plate for an off road vehicle! What a joke!

Is it just me or is the big bend logo giving me the middle finger?

If it included skid plates and a basic front camera for off roading, then $55k wouldnt be the worst if it also had the 2.7 EB engine. But as it stands now its kind of overpriced.

I wonder if this vehicle has underbody protection.

Why do all the Chinese trims come with the full digital Raptor dash? That blows.

Where is this course located?

I Do Not understand Fords decision to not add real Skid plates to a serious off roader, thats just plain Dumb... or.. GREED.

wtf with the price ??? I bought a New 2023 Camaro 1SS convertible last year and paid less ... silly MSRPs ..

55k no underbody protection thats a rip off

Not bad but its no Wrangler.

Just keep dogging the Bronco even tho it’s a great performer

I really appreciate your off road testing. But I'b like to encourage you not to use the old wives' tale that a locker distributes the torque 50-50. Because, in reality, it is an OPEN differential the splits the torque 50-50. Or, more precisely an open differential sends the same torque in each direction* -- ALWAYS! I recommend you just say exactly what a locker does, which is turn both wheel, or both ends (front and rear), at the same speed. And leave it there. Saying anything more, such as a locker sands equal torque or equal power, is just provably wrong. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-yYAw79386WI.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_HOa0aRZYpw.html * One more stipulation: Some center differentials have an unequal torque split -- for example 40-60 front-rear. In this case the differential will always send 40% torque to the front and 60% to the rear, regardless of traction. I've never heard of a traditional open differential in an axle having anything other than a 50-50 torque split, but someone has probably done it for some really weird reason.

Unless you are constantly rock crawling, underside armor really isn’t necessary.

People if you like it just put some skid plates on it and shut up. Attacking the whole automotive industry on prices gets you NOWHERE.
