There’s actually a thinner aftermarket crash bar that you can buy that clears the Sasquatch wheels in the front and rear from what I’ve seen other you tubers show, when they also showed this issue. So these guys aren’t actually the first and only ones to talk about it.
After attending the Bronco Off-Roadeo in NH and really learning how to take a Bronco off-roading, not just taking my prior trucks on the beach I can say I have such deeper appreciation for how well narrated this content is while off-roading. Not an easy task to narrate that well while still focusing on everything you are doing. Great content as always guys.
Chevy should be ashamed that they didn't make the Blazer into something more like this. I grew up a Chevy guy and I am ashamed of where they have taken that company...
You guys brought out a lot of unexpected emotion in me when watching this video. Memories of my dad and I and our old Broncos, and thoughts of my future experiences in a new Bronco I have on order. Sadly, my dad passed away a few years ago, and will never get to experience the new one with me. It was so nice to see you and your dad enjoy these excursions and it really warmed my heart. Thank you for sharing them with us all.
Love your videos. Here in Colorado there are a few channels that have put the Bronco through it’s paces. Mostly rock crawling or extreme trails up in our mountains. Loved the other demonstration you have done which showed a completely different terrain with mud and deep water. You have truly proven what a capable vehicle this is. Thanks for what you do. Your channel is absolutely a favorite of mine.
Brings back memories of when Steve was with TFL...he does a great job testing on terrain similar to what we have here in Northern New England. I was spoiled living in Colorado, driving in VT, NH, and Maine especially in winter is no joke. There's no high altitude sun gonna burn the ice/snow off the pavement like back on the front range.
Test drove a 4 door Badlands and absolutely enjoyed the interior space and ride over my Jeep Wranglers. There would already be one in the garage under normal circumstances. Enjoyed your review.
I was of the opinion that one pedal driving is intended more for rock crawling scenarios where you are at odd angles and need more control to help stop/start the vehicle while on obstacles and odd angles.
It's also referred to as hill descent assist,which is exactly how they used it when they went to the Ford Bronco test range and had their first Bronco experience.
In an automatic, use the left foot on the brakes when rock-crawling - this allows complete control over speed; however, the one-pedal system's even better!
Finally a channel that Properly torchered tests Ford bronco off Roading great video good job testing the bronco to see what the capability's are out of stock...
As always great video great information, "better than anything on TV". And it's not complaining it's giving us your honest opinion which is what we need making a expensive decision. And I've gotta say as a dad in my mid 50's myself I really NV you making such great memories with your son. Two 👍🏻👍🏻for y'alls channel.
I can say the Bronco does sound louder inside than Wranglers they've tested....I watched a video on another channel that had the same comments, and I thought it had to do with the roof rack bars, but the Bronco in this video doesn't have them and still has the same wind noise, so obviously its just the way the top is...maybe Ford should have had a collaboration with Jeep on how to build a modular top...the original Broncos had 1 piece tops but had far more wind noise than the new Bronco, and we shall see how they do in years to come for leaks...the old Broncos would leak all over the place after a while taking them off and putting them back on especially when people got careless with them and damaged the seals.
Just a suggestion from my 50+ years of off road driving experience. You might want to learn to never hook you thumbs inside the steering wheel. Especially in "Baja Mode". It's something you learn by constant training whenever holding a steering wheel, when on or off highway. Or conversely the first time you hook a wheel in a rut at high speed and have your thumb(s) broken off. Again, only a suggestion. Keep up the good work, your videos are informative and entertaining. Thank you.
Enjoyed the video and your tests for the Bronco were very impressive. I share your enthusiasm for its performance and features. I hope this video quiets some of the Ford critics that think that an independent front suspension cannot perform off road. That one pedal feature is cool and so is that turn assist function, lock unlock sway bar...nice!
Will always love Jeep’s, but so glad to see a worthy contender built by Ford, would love to have seen GM Trailblazer build a dog to be in this fight. Funny I’ll never own either, but I really admire the Jeep builds you see everyday, can’t wait to see what people do with the Broncos!!! Great Video.
It's 5 am, I still haven't gone to bed and I am watching this video because I am obsessed with Broncos. Also found you guys channel and I am glad I did.
My White Outerbanks 2 Dr 2.7ltr 10sp auto "OJ" is being built the week of Dec 20th, 2021! Gonna be driving it I hope New Year's Eve. This video showed me a lot of unique things and reconfirmed my decision in ordering one a year and a half ago.
Best Bronco Review That I have seen. Awesome! On another note, I wish provinces that have front license plates would great rid of them. They really take away from a vehicle.
For the love of god air down the tires.. both of the first two obstacles would of been 100% without drama had you aired down. The one pedal drive is for use in more of a rock crawl situation for those without the ability to two pedal drive with the brake and accelerator. Between that and the trail control it’s literally a game changer.
he wanted to demonstrate STOCK ability as off the showroom. Im all for it. Armchair QBs not apply. I will be waiting for your demos. Stephen and his dad do legit work.
@@BuckingBronco I had thoughts of canceling my order twice. I put in my reservation summer of 2020 and got my order in December of 2020. Was told spring then summer then fall then "sometime in 2022". But I'm glad I was patient and waited. Don't give up on it, you will be extremely happy once you finally get it.
@@BuckingBronco My only complaints are the back up camera is very low resolution but that's definitely not a deal breaker. And the stereo has literally no bass. All good I'm getting all new speakers and a little amp and sub to fix that problem. I have no issues with wind noise like a lot of people say. The mileage isn't the greatest but if I wanted good mileage I would have bought a Honda Civic or something lol. I recommend getting the license plate relocation bracket. Otherwise you'll have to drill holes and have the plate all up high and right on the grill basically. The bracket screws in super easily with 3 torx bit screws and it comes with the torx bit and screws for the plate.
@@mawage666 Oh, I'm good and very patient. I'm using this time to save up for my down payment, so the longer it takes, the more I'll have. I'm lucky because I don't need a car, but I've been wanting to get back into camping and it would make that possible again. I don't even have a car right now. I had a 2019 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack but sold it in September '21. I walk to work, and wasn't getting much use out of it. The 4x4 will definitely be put to use in the PNW, though! ;)
I just bought a 2023 Bronco Badlands Sasquatch and bought it for the way it looks. Glad to know it can do all this, even tho I'll never use it. Thanks for this very informative video.
Great commentary on the crash bars. Any F-150 owner who tries putting on larger tires with a lift encounters this same dilemma. To cut or not to cut. Incidentally, the Raptor doesn’t have the crash bars for the same reason this Bronco doesn’t. Can’t fit the larger tires. Also, really cool about those Goodyear Wranglers. Haha
Thanks for a great and different review. Nobody reviews anything on a wet track. Wet tracks are much harder to do anything due to less traction. Your mud is very slick. This proves the Bronco is up to the job.
Appreciate you guys work on this. You clearly had a good time with Bronco and I hope your pops got his britches dried out quickly. Just got my Bronco Badlands Sasquatch two days ago and cannot wait to get it on the trails. Thank you!
Definitely appreciate you pointing out the removal of the crash bar! We all want off-roaders but safety is important! You’re the only person so far to mention it.
Really dig your enthusiasm kid. I always root for the blue oval. Pops did a nice job pointing out things I may have overlooked during his walk around. I’m just looking into the Overland hobby, bought a first generation sports Trac 4 x 4 this week and I’m ordering and adding my first bolt ons . Roof basket Jerry can, Max bull bar, KC lights, C-B, shovel and axe, fire extinguisher, etc !
@@ellocalcrew613 it was a joke. While Ford uses simplified nomenclature, Jeep has taken to using names that are getting longer and longer. One day, the standard wheelbase of a four door Wrangler won't be big enough to fit the name badge.
Thanks for your review, and shout out to your dad for his footage and it adding to the overall presentation! What you covered seemed spot on, at least to me - all very good information to know and see!
Hving a way to make hood face backward, just take off & put it fliped around so u give it more protection vs aero look easy change/mod bc it sloops down under limbs after they get pushed thru by backward facing hood. It will also aid in cooling slow crawling bc not sealing near as well.
I have a 2016 2 door Wrangler that drives great but I didn’t buy it or the last 7 Jeeps I’ve owned for the ride. I buy them because they’re the only vehicle on the market with the sfa short wheel base that isn’t completely packed with electronics or ifs suspensions that will limit it’s ability to be built without going bankrupt in the process. These will be popular no doubt just not the “Jeep killers” I see people claiming in the comments on these videos.
Wow now the pressure of going back to the drawing board for the Jeep engineers and fiat corporation in really on. It’s been way too long since Jeep roamed the market without a true competitor. Bronco did a really good job 👍 great video guys!
I was confused when he showed up at a tfl video. Glad your channel is doing well. Enjoy the content you’re pumping out. Especially the focus on trucks over cars.
Really good stuff. I got that exact truck, but the 2dr version. It appears to have a much shorter wheelbase (looks way cooler to me) and a better turn radius as a result. The back seats are not easy to get in and out of on the 2 dr. Especially Sasquatch with no steps. Maybe for a kid, but not a 48 yr old man. But hey, that’s not what you’re worried about when you get a 2dr.
Those "closed loop" recovery hook-ups are perfect to put some Heavy-duty clevis's there so you can attach Heavy-duty recovery straps, the super high weight rated, close-looped ones. They're expensive AF, but if you take care of them they can last as long as the truck,,,or Bronco.
Broncos are amazing. Make sure you strap a traction boards and a spare engine on the roof when the engine bows up on your trip or you will be stranded on the trails.
I would like to see a review of this SUV on 33s. You can't get allot of the 4x4 options for some reason on 33s (from the ford build and price anyways) but I run 33s at home and that's enough for me plus getting decent fuel economy and ride for my day to day.
The crash bars have been on F150s since '15. The exception is the '15 F150 Supercab. And yes, I own a '15 SCAB. There are plenty of videos from IIHS with F150s and an off-set front crash. The bars do make a difference. If you have an F150 , remove or modify the bars at your own peril.
Some things in life you wish you could UN-SEE, but now I'm damaged. From now on anytime someone turns and lifts their jacket I'll run screaming as loud as I can. Perhaps the next time you're in the store you could look for ladult Depends. Could I resist? Hell no. You guys do a great job and that crash bar segment puts you in a class by yourselves. Thank you both for the work you do.
14:48 nice shoot; idea hving near low/raise snow plow drag bracket + aids u greatly in off roading adding traction to front tires diff angle of attack or helping rears not slip or fall back down hill.
Good fuel economy with my Jeep Wrangler and gladiator with the 3.0 liter diesel on 37 inch MAXXIS RAZR tires. 25 mpg on the gladiator/ 28 mpg. On the wrangler. Our Canadian neighbor you can do the math.
I have a Badlands on order loaded minus the leather and not a sasquatch. I ordered the optional beadlocks. I couldn't justify the extra cost for 35" tires and wider flares. 2.7, Lux, soft top in Hot Pepper Red
