I honestly think they should just install the same drivetrain as the new f150 2wd that everyone keeps racing. I think it's a 8 or 10 speed and the 5.0L coyote and if they did that with a hybrid.
That is fair, but the four-cylinder has plenty of power (much more than the jeep four-cylinder) And it has pretty much snow and issues at all, so I would get the four-cylinder, I did and I love it. Also don’t get car loans
This is 100% the dealers’ fault. They overplayed their hand with the markups. I love this truck but have ZERO plans of getting it because it is OVERPRICED
I really completely disagree with everything in this video, I have a 2022 bronco and a 2018 wrangler, neither are base models and both four-door automatics. The bronco is 100x smoother and 100x quieter so The four-cylinder is reliable and absolutely smokes my 3.6 jeep.
Sounds pretty clear this video was put together by a Jeep fan boy! I own a 2023 Bronco with the 2.7 and it’s been bulletproof ! I couldn’t be happier with it. Looks cool as anything and rides 1 million times better on road than aJeep does. In terms of pricing, well For Crying Out Loud it’s 2024 Nothing is cheap! You could get a Honda Accord for over $40,000 now so I don’t have an issue with the price. I also find the interior fit and finish and the paint quality outstanding. BTW I’m a first time Ford owner.
You can also find a base model accord for like 25k. These broncos are starting at like 45k for the base model! If you want anything half decent you are looking at like 60k for a vehicle with meh performance, a gang of recalls, and Ford reliability which hasn't been so good on the ecoboost engines. Says me who owns a Focus ST. I'm now fiat/jeep trash fan boy either, but it is true that the jeeps solid axle is much better for off roading and is substantially cheaper.
I will be trading in my 2015 Wrangler Unlimited Altitude (a Sahara derivative) on a Bronco Badlands. I would have bought a new Wrangler, but the 6-speed manual has been discontinued in the Sahara.
Everyone that wanted one already bought one. Very similar to EV market. Every dealership is stacked to the brim with these. They need to take a minimum of $20,000 off a $55,000 MSRP and $40,000 off the Raptors. I really don't understand how these dealerships are paying their bills at this point.
The biggest thing I see wrong is the powertrain. Why not put in a V-8 and a larger six cylinder. The price is too high and for what they are charging the quality needs to improve. A V-8 option would really be nice. The 5.0 would really bring some excitement to a heavy vehicle.
I would also disagree with most all of these points. I own a 2022 Badlands with the Sasquatch package. My wife and I lift the top off. Even with the Sasquatch package ,the ride is much better than I thought it would be. Its a great daily driver as I have almost 40k miles already. I still really like the truck. But hey, you got me to click on it!
Well it would help if you went Apples to Apples in the first place... a 2022 Jeep Wrangler against a 2022 Bronco. I would say that more of the Bronco foibles mentioned here are accurate than inaccurate. I have a 2023 Bronco... the cheesy plastic interior squeaks like a banshee. I've got middle of the road tires and the road/wind noise is still awful. It is true what they say about the candle that burns twice as bright lasts half as long... less than 30,000 MI. and I had to replace the turbo unit. My neighbor up the street has a 2.7 in his Bronco and can't seem to pass a gas station without having to pull in. I've had Wranglers previously and understood from the beginning what I was getting into with them; They were of course not perfect, but I did enjoy them. But I bought into the Bronco hype, and so decided to give it a try. I think you're "fat lady" may have yet to sing. I will soon be driving a 2025 Wrangler 😊
I can agree with a few of your points, but the hard top, really????? Very lightweight and extremely easy to remove, especially the front two rows! The back piece takes two people but it’s smaller and easier to handle than the huge back piece of the wrangler!
Overpriced by $20k, didn't listen to the customer base input during development, and ecojunk engines. Put a non turbo engine in it with a manual trans option, get rid of all the problematic tech electronic stuff, and they'll start selling. But, I'll keep my 71
BS video…If you can’t afford it then buy the cheap jeep. I’ve yet to get my Bronco stuck but I’ve towed several jeeps out who tried to hang with me a some mudding trails.
Can anyone tell me if the 2025 Raptor R is real? I saw on youtube it was, and nothing on Ford website. supposedly it will have the 5.2-liter supercharged V8 engine that delivers 700+ horsepower and 640 lb.-ft.
All of the reasons you listed had ZERO influence on why I will Never Buy the New Bronco. My Reasons. 1. It looks like a jeep. If I want a Jeep I'll damn well Buy a JEEP! 2. It does NOT Look Like a Bronco. See reason 1. My idea of the Bronco comes from the late 70's and 80's model of bronco. Not that shoe box looking wanna be Jeep Grand Cherokee rip off. 3. under powered motor and too many microchips. I can't put a Holly 4 barrel on that monstrosity Hell I can't even find a way to make it run without microsoft word a power point and a windows 8 computer. Heh remember windows 8? Yeah... this Bronco is windows 8 with wheels.
You NEVER buy a brand new model vehicle. You always wait a few years for the kinks to be worked out. ... And I like the Bronco interiors, I think they look pretty good. And WHY do all you channels say, "the interior is made from plastic" making it a bad thing. Every vehicle interiors are made from plastic... What do you want, full wrapped leather? And you won't whine about the price? Leather cracks and looks like crap after a while. In an offroader, plastic is better for all the dust you will be eating... And a simple wipe and your good to go. And why is a Wrangler better ... Well, every company is trying to beat them, it's the benchmark... But the real reason... A shift lever to get into four wheel. No weird as knobs, a full on (simpler) Lever. None of this, "push this button while holding this button, pump the gas three times, rub your head and tap your tummy in perfect sequence." ... Just pull a lever, and away you go. And if you want to go further... You push a button... Then lockers are activated.
