Do I like my Ford Bronco better than my Jeep Wrangler? That’s one question that I get asked a lot. In this episode of TrailRecon, I’ll share with you all the things that I like and don’t like about my Ford Bronco and what I have in store for the future.
Since getting my Bronco Badlands edition with the Sasquatch package a few months ago, I’ve put a lot of miles on it and really put it to the test. I’ve taken it on a long road trip to Texas, I’ve been on a few overlanding trips to the desert, and I pushed it pretty hard on some difficult off-road trails.
Along the way, I’ve gotten to know this Bronco really well and I share my thoughts and criticisms in this video about the things I think Ford could have done better, including the bumper and soft top, some technical glitches I’ve come across, and some design features that just aren’t working for me. I’ve also discovered some things I really love about the Bronco including the ride comfort, the layout and design of some of the interior features, and the power of the engine.
I’m ready to start making some modifications to my Bronco now that I’ve gotten a feel for its capability in stock form and I'll tell you about the changes that are coming soon to make it even more off-road capable.
Overall, I’m pretty happy with how the Bronco performs even if it does have a few limitations. I came close to not getting it, but I’m so glad I did because I’m enjoying it way more than I thought I would. But...do I love it more than my Jeep?
Come along for the ride with us on this episode and find out!

Great video, as always. I also have a Badlands Sasquatch, so I’m excited to see what you have in store for the Bronco. Regarding the back, I recommend the IAG EZ-Lift. I added it to my soft top and I now I can open the back with one hand (one latch at a time) and it automatically lifts open (higher than the prop rod would give you). I also added struts to my hood - another great addition that skips the prop rod and adds ease and convenience.

Your video made me glad that I chose to go with the High option package and hard top for my Bronco. For a winch, check out the Rough Country hidden winch. It's designed to clear both the sensor, and the front camera, and gives you a slightly better approach angle. I'm in SoCal as well, so if you see a Carbon Gray Badlands Sasquatch tooling around the IE, give a wave,

@bwbounds 2 года назад

I love your honesty, you call it as you see it. some get butt hurt when they hear negative things about vehicle they drive. no vehicle is perfect and there's always tradeoffs, most of it depends on how much of off-road vehicle you want vs daily driver. wrangler delivers unmatched off-road ability while sacrificing on road manners, crash and roller safety. best part I like about bronco is that it brings needed competition to wrangler. jeep should build a more refined and safer version of wrangler sell beside current jl.

@NB-yn7dv 2 года назад

What makes the Jeep unsafe? Is there statistical evidence that jl owners die at a higher rate than other off-roaders?

“Unmatched off road ability” Not buying it. Rubicon slight edge in extreme rock crawling.

@SurvivaLust 2 года назад

So in your mind, You want JEEP to build a longer wheel base Wrangler so it's safer on the HIGHWAY? They do it's called the Grand Cherokee. The Wrangler was never designed to be anything but an OFF ROAD vehicle. It cracks me up when people criticize the Wrangler for it's short wheel base. It's like complaining about buying a Z06 and wondering why you only get 18 mph.

Another function of the trail sites, that you don’t like, is to allow you to know the position of the inside of your front wheels. They are there to help guide you around the rocks that damaged your lower control arms. Also there are now gas struts for the rear soft top to assist in raising the rear frame rather than using the prop rod. The struts also assist with raising the entire top from full open to close. Just a couple of ideas that may improve your experience.

Great review. Personally I love the soft top. Easy on and off and the wiggly windows don’t bother me but I can see how others would have a problem. For the rear lift take a look at IAG rear hood assist. Easy install and raises it a bit more. Still two hands to open but one pop and no need to set the bar yourself.

@pandapaul 2 года назад

For what it's worth, I installed the DV8 MTO front bumper, a winch, and the DV8 ACC module relocation bracket myself. The ACC has since worked perfectly with shockingly zero issues and no apparent need for recalibration. This particular method relocates the ACC module to a spot on the upper driver's side behind the grille. Also worth mentioning I have no experience doing this kind of stuff, so I'm pretty confident you'd have no trouble whatsoever if you so chose. Going into it I had absolutely had doubts that the ACC relocation would work, but it sure does.

@railfanoverlander 2 года назад

I'm loving my badlands. I agree with the soft top back hatch. I think they may of adjusted the soft top for the 22s because I really have to pull on it to get my hand under it and it doesn't flop around under heavy winds. Haven't had the chance to really fold it back so maybe it gets loose or stretches.

@chrishaugh1655 10 месяцев назад

I'm so glad I had the patience to wait the extra time for the hard top. Not only does it look substantially better overall, it's quieter inside and it's definitely a better quality overall. Also, soft tops in FL have a very bad habit of fading quickly. Let's also understand that those "grab handles" aren't meant for you to use to get into the vehicle. They're for use when you're on a trail.

@sentineloffreedom 2 года назад

I really appreciate your no-BS approach to this review. There are very obviously problems with the soft (and hard) top. Overall, my soft top has been excellent other than in heavy side wind situations... I have not had the problem with the windshield fluid like you did though… (kinda over-done, but it was comical 😆) for being “basically” a first generation vehicle it seems great to me. I understand you love your Jeep and that is fully warranted, but give ford a few years and maybe this will be a real competition!

@jessicag4940 2 года назад

The IAG struts for the soft top are a must... I am not too bothered by the soft top and got it to get it sooner too, but I think I would reorder with a hard top just because of the trunk space. I don't even mind the wavy back window, but coming from a van I hated bending down to access the trunk. But those struts made the soft top usable and it will be perfect since summer is coming!!! Highly recommend them to eliminate one issue and it is only a $100 mod.

@craigduffy7879 2 года назад

Brad, been watching your content for several years and love it. I’ve had a similarly equipped BL with Sasquatch since October and love it. I also have a JK and love that too. I generally agree with your comments but differ on the tailgate. Maybe because I’m 6’ but I love the quick prop up vs my JK and having to unzip and flip it up onto the roof. I find it so much faster. And I think you’ll be happier once you lift it as it’ll be 3” higher. I did the 3” Zone off-road lift on mine with 35” Cooper Discoverer MT’s and find it feels even better off-road now than pre lift. It feels a little more supple and definitely helps with clearance all around. I did the BAMF bumper and Badlands Apex 12k winch. The parking sensors and ACC relo have worked great and the camera isn’t obstructed at all and like you I love that camera so didn’t want to mess with it. I get your point on the ACC relo and do tend to agree but I did it and it’s worked the same so far! I did make a simple wooden deck (covered in matching auto carpet) for the rear so the back is level with the rear seats and it swings right up out of the way so you can get to the stock floor storage. It created space for storage under it where I keep a portable camp table, camp chair, axe, folding shovel, recovery snatch strap and my soft shackles. So that’s actually pretty cool. I’ve slept back there a few nights so far and it’s been great! I installed the ARB dual under the hood and routed an air outlet down into the front bumper and set it on Aux 6. Also have added pod lights so far. Keep up the great content!

I ended up getting the BAMF front bumper and love it but I really wasn’t too happy to replace the modular bumper as it’s nice and solid. But I needed a winch.

Great review as always . My big issue, make that huge issue- is the obscene markup on BRONCOS especially when Jeeps can still be bought below MSRP! Anyone who pays $6-10k over msrp on a Bronco is in trouble when they sell it in a few years and are so upside down they´ll need to fork over money to unload it. I bought a GLadiator loaded to the gills for 4% under msrp and maybe in two years may consider a BRONCO if they fix their first year issues and reclaim senses on prices .

I agree with the top issues. I just went to the dealership yesterday and looked at it. The side windows had waves or ripples and seemed loose. There were a few other issues as well. They were selling it for $40875 plus $15000 over because they’re “hard to get and in demand”. I told them not from me, for $55000 I have higher expectations.

@COddietsch Год назад

So glad I watched your video, I saw for the first time a Bronco Sasquatch Area 51 in person and that validated it for me, that's what I want. I really want the soft top but is the model (kind) you have the only one available? If so, maybe I should go hardtop and wait for an aftermarket down the road. I agree with all of your Cons but thank God they are not deal breakers and the one can be replaced. I have no desire for the electric seats or adaptive cruise, I just want to drive old school and enjoy. I do want regular cruise and the g.p.s dash but the sasquatch is fancy enough.

I'm actually really surprised the aftermarket hasn't made some accessories to solve of these things you've pointed out yet but that's a weird on the cruise control thing I'm surprised ford put it their without offering solutions to winch mounting on their packages as we know exactly what folks are going to do with these, I'm surprised I haven't seen a bronco with a best top brand soft top yet this is what I love about watching you I like your honest opinions

There is a Bestop install on the TFL Bronco. They hate the rattles of the hardtop and swapped it out for the Bestop.

Hi Brad. Curious as to your gas mileage on your trip. Thanks for your honest review as always! Love my JKU Rubicon. 😎

Thank you for your service. What’d you do in the military? Maybe you could share a photo of your military days.

I'd like to see a long term similar review of the Land Rover Defender. Nice honest view of the Bronco.

Thxs much! Was considering the ragtop? But not after seeing you open the back!

Brad, great! I like the look very much.....

Great review, odd soft top. Opening the back would likely not work here on the north coast. Northwest PA gets temps well below freezing, below zero isn't out of the question. Unless those side soft windows are made out of some magic material I suspect they would crack in the winter. I'll stick with my JKU Sahara and hard top. The Freedom Tops give the best of both worlds. Keep up the good work Brad! Oh, great coffee, I'm spoiled now.

Thanks for the honest review. I’m at a maybe on the bronco. Bought a Tacoma last year and it was lackluster and disappointing. Pretty truck but that’s all it had going for it. Ended up selling it back to the dealer. Been thinking bronco. Problem is I’m trying to find a daily that makes me as happy as my 15 jku. I just know that that vehicle exists. I feel like I’m ruined.

We had a 2010 Jeep JKU that we traded for a mid-size SUV when we became parents, but one supposedly off-road CUV (with a CVT nonetheless), then lifted wagon, and now a mid-size pickup later, I’m definitely getting back into solid axles front and rear again within the next 2-3 years. I thought that maybe the 4Runner or new Bronco would be the answer-and as capable as this new Bronco is, it’s back to a Wrangler or Gladiator for me.

I had a 2 door TJ that I traded for a JKU when I had a new baby, so much happier with it.

@sneakypete187 out of the 8 vehicles between my wife and I since 2015, we have tried to get some of the capabilities back that the Wrangler possessed with the following: ‘15 Honda Pilot AWD and ‘20 Subaru Forester Sport. The Pilot was actually surprisingly capable off road with A/T tires. The Forester is great as a ski trip car, but anything beyond some of the AWD designated roads that you would find in National or State Parks and it’s out of its element despite what people show on social media.
