In this review, Jill Ciminillo takes the beastly 2-Door Ford Bronco on a road trip. Does it handle as well on the open road as it does on the rocky trail? Is there a G.O.A.T. mode for that? Watch to find out if Jill thinks the Bronco is road trip worthy, and let us know your own thoughts in the comments.

I don't like that so many people want the Bronco to be an ultra-refined GT touring commuter, with a quiet interior and a more relaxed and numbed driving experience. This is supposed to be an enthusiast platform, which SHOULD feel a little raw and unrefined, with the manual transmission, removeable doors and tops, a lift and 35 inch AT tires from the factory. You don't buy a Harley and complain about the exhaust noise, you don't buy a Shelby GT350R and complain about the stiff suspension. Ford has about a dozen other models if all you want is comfortable highway commuter with awd for bad weather. I wish people would stop demanding the few enthusiast cars left on the market all be designed for soccer mom duty.

@johnnnewmex Год назад

Sure but the rawness is essentially the weak point of the Wrangler. I would not expect great highway manners but decreased cabin noise is nice on any vehicle for any purpose. Not to mention constant cabin noise can make a trip feel more exhausting. For $70k ... I'd like some very sophisticated noise barriers😉 ... because highway driving is going to happen at some point.

@mawage666 2 года назад

Just got my 22' 2 door base manual hard top (non Sasquatch) with roof rails 8 days ago. I got the same exact fuel mileage with the 2.3L engine. However there is hardly any significant wind noise with mine. I was actually quite impressed at how good the sound deadening headliner works. The reverse camera is extremely low quality and I am getting a totally upgraded sound system this Saturday. Other than the disappointing highway mileage and crappy reverse camera and sound system, I absolutely love love love this vehicle! If I wanted great mileage I would have bought a Honda Civic lol.

@mikerollins3930 2 года назад

Good, practical review. Even the weekend warriors typically do 90% of their driving in the road. I've driven a 2 door Jeep Wrangler (soft top) with same sized tires and the road noise was awful. Anyhow, Ford has had some issues with these hard tops but hopefully that improves over time but don't expect any of these to be good everyday drivers. That was never their primary purpose.

Wind noise is the price to pay for any vehicle with removable roof and doors. Don’t forget the noise from the 35 inch mud terrain tires as well. That being said, this video may have maid it seem worse than it really is. Your voice shouldn’t have been distorted and gurgling because of it. Overall good video.

@pauldiesel4582 2 года назад

Wow Jill! I assumed all the wind noises, being that it was a soft top. After your walk around and seeing a hardtop I was rather disappointed at the amount of noise. I had a jeep soft top and I know wind noise for sure. It should be way quieter as a modern hard top. Ford can’t blame it on being a pre-production model or they are building vehicles with knowingly substandard parts/design.

@jillciminillo 2 года назад

Yeah, the hardtop was very disappointing. But I'm hopeful that this was an unrepaired top or that someone put it on wrong. This was literally the worst road noise/wind noise I've ever heard in a vehicle -- including soft-top Jeeps.

@stevenhuynh1999 2 года назад

Well, because of the removal roof hard top, u can't expect to have no wind noise. It's designed for off roading just like the jeep wranglers. I would still buy it and put a big sound system and play bass music just like all the teenagers out there that always play their music loud. U would never hear the wind noise anymore.

@SeahawkAz 2 года назад

The wind noise isn’t any worse than a Jeep with a removable hard top. Since the Bronco is available with a manual transmission Jills husband will let her get one

@jillciminillo 2 года назад

LOL truth about the MT. With re the road noise, this was the worst I've ever heard in a vehicle -- including a Jeep with the removable hard top. Took that to Indy on another drive, and had no big issues. I'm hoping this was a pre-production thing here on the Bronco.

This is a perfect example of someone who has no basic knowledge of the vehicle. She discovers features while on camera rather than knowing her subject. She doesn't understand why her model may have more wind noise. She gets 16 mpg (I managed 24 mpg) on the highway but doesn't offer an explanation (i.e. doesn't know how her driving style & vehicle features affects mpg) I guess the real issue is that she doesn't even know what she doesn't know which makes it impossible to correct these issues.
