Probably the Badlands to be honest. I really want the Raptor but the markup on those is insane! Glad to see the channel doing well as your 4Runner video on TFL was one of my favorites!
I don't live near the everglades. I don't even really off road. But the everglades is the one I would get. It ticks all the boxes straight from the factory.
Cant wait for the upcoming "Bronco Saskatchewan Sasquatch Edition" for heavy winter areas. Instead of a Sasquatch it will have a white Yeti on the decal.
Welcome to New-Brunswick Truck King! and for anybody else who is thinking of visiting, Minister's island is well worth the trip, not to forget the town of Saint-Andrews either!. All i'm going to say is bring your camera!!
If the Everglades had the sway bar disconnect then yes. I own a 2022 badlands. Its the best all around bronco in my opinion. I do not like voids in buttons and the missing sway bar disconnect button would drive me crazy. It is needed because even in mud mode, the computer engages it along with the lockers. BTW, the badlands is good up to 34" of water. I doubt i would ever take my badlands in 36" of water. I live in South Florida right near the Everglades and love my Badlands.
It is interesting to see the trails the Everglade went trough and try to imagine doing them with the Raptor. There are lots of trails in NB where the Raptor would have trouble squeezing through. Wranglers with big tires barely get through some of them. If I were to get a Bronco and I won't (I'll keep my FJ thank you) it would be the Everglades for NB. Despite the fact that some of our paved roads are so rough the Raptor would probably be the one to get.
I have a Big Bend with Sasquatch package and it better be able to drive though high flood water when I need it to. Maybe not 3ft of water but it better be able to handle a surprise flood during the rainy season in Florida.
Thank you, thank you thank you! I appreciate calling out how overdone Baja trucks have become. In the UP of Michigan here it’s all narrow trails and mud! The increased with on the Bronco Raptor makes it pointless!
I currently have a 22 Bronco Big bend four-door but I am going to trade that one in for the Everglades I just think you get a lot of stuff with the Everglades
Great vid! I placed a reservation for Bronco Everglades in June and then switched it to a Badlands 2.7 and now you have me thinking. I live 40 minutes from the Everglades. Did you actually get to drive it in Florida? It's mainly going to be a daily driver but I plan on doing some long overland drives like the Georgia Traverse and parts of the Trans-American Trail
The reason for the 2.3 Eco vs the V6 Eco in the everglades is weight. When Ford did their everglades demo here in michigan a few months ago they said that the weight with the 2.3 plus winch was almost equal to just a v6. By sticking with the 2.3 they didn't have to go and re-engineer the front suspension to compensate for added weight of the wench plus V6.
Really? I thought it would've had to do with the snorkel and V6 not working with each other. That's just disappointingly lazy. Suspension seems like such an easy thing to fix.
The vent tubes for the front diff and trans are already by the brake booster on the Badlands 2.7. If you are in water higher than that... I think you have bigger problems. I really need a snorkel though here in FL!
I've wheeled with a few Broncos and several times the alternator gets smoked during water crossings due to being mounted to low, how did Ford solve this problem in this model?
Thanks for the video guys - New Brunswick is indeed spectacular! I wonder what the wait times are now on these Broncos? It's clear from your videos that they are pretty impressive off-road, but can regular people order the newest model and get it in a reasonable amount of time?
The problem is stealerships just totally ripping customers off. Please FORD and all other manufacturers, offer online purchasing so I customize what I want without the hassle.
Wasn’t that just a relatively few examples coming off the line? I didn’t think there was anything to fix necessarily, just recall the ones produced for whatever the piston ring defect was or whatever.
@@95turboteggy65 sure but the investigation is for 2021 model year vehicles (so 2022 and forward don’t appear to have the issue) and only like 25 vehicles have actually had any physical issues. So sounds like the issue is already fixed and it’s just seeing how many already produced models are truly affected.
I'll be blunt--90% of Raptor buyers (pickup or Bronco) are posers that will seldom use the vehicle off-road. That percentage is higher than probably most of the lower level trim 4WD vehicle buyers. Ford got the part right when the offered the Bronco with the Susquatch Package that makes the Bronco a very capable off-road performer at what is, today, a fairly reasonable price. The Everglades Package takes that just one step higher. All of that said, for the Bronco to be truly successful, it must overcome its fairly common reliability issues so far. The somewhat antiquated and not as well-equipped Toyota 4Runner continues to eat Ford's lunch in the off-road SUV market because the 4Runner will easily go 300K miles with minimal problems if it is given routine maintenance.
same for Bronco owners. And I don't own either. Nearly no one needs anywhere near this capability nor the huge tires, and gas sucking vehicles. Total fad. But I still like them a lot. Nearly everyone is a poser when it comes to all these big trucks and SUVs. MALL CRAWLERS
Great video boys, loved that u showed the sencery.. love both Braptor and Everglades models.. I think Ford purposely put the smaller ecoboost in the Everglades so, more ppl wouldn't buy the Everglades version. They should do what they do with the F150 and get whatever engine you want . It's a win win I think
The points you 2 made about water 14 and water and certain trails is the exact reason that we get an Everglades over all the other packages the northeast has a lot of muddy wet tight trails especially in Jersey and Pennsylvania and all these other States up here
