67. Broncos of every trim and dating back to 2021. All on my dealerships lot in my town. And that’s approximately 75% of a lot

I was excited for the original release of the bronco. The excitement immediately left when the numbers revealed something like 15-17mpg i canceled my order instantly. In todays world that is unacceptable. My almost 30 year old isuzu trooper has the same look, better gas mileage. and often better features by being simple.

This is a case where I think if you time it right, you may be better able to buy and afford it better than earlier model years. Mainly because rates are not looking to be nearly as bad come 2025. However, this will really only apply to people with good credit, who know how to save and budget with a reasonable down payment or trade in.

A 2-door ('24) Big Bend *starts* at $52K CAD up here in Canuckistan, if you can find one....most dealers have loaded up $75K + models on the lot. We haven't gotten the '25 pricing on Ford.ca yet, but I suspect that the new "Base" will be around that or a bit more....ludicrous. Eventually, the market will correct itself....but until then....

Although I love the Bronco, my economic status precludes them from my budget. ;-) I was able to afford a new Explorer Active 4wd though. I think Ford now has enough stuff stuck on their lots that they are willing to deal off of MSRP again. I spent 6 hours at the dealer and got my new Active for $7500 below MSRP. Got a really good price on my trade as well. Used cars were going for more than what I paid for the new Active. I think so much money was owed on them that they had to try to sell them for big bucks just to pay off the banks that owned them. Yeah, it's not as exciting as the Bronco. It's a sort of competent jack of all trades SUV that does everything pretty well. I've had it a couple months and 2k miles now. Very pleased with it. The 2.3 eco with the 10 speed really puts the torque to the ground well. Good balance between power and economy. I'm getting 24 mpg in mixed driving and over 28 hiway. As an old man, I drive conservatively. I prefer the right lane doing the speed limit. I'm fighting cancer again. So this'll be my last new car. First world problems, right? But it is what I need. My three camping trips a year would not have challenged a Bronco. 90% of my driving, I am doing old man stuff. I hope everyone who gets a Bronco can enjoy them. I was excited when they brought them back a few years back.

Makes anyone who got a 21-23 Bronco look like a financial wizard. These prices are stupid and the limitations on which models can have a 2.7 is even more ridiculous.

Ford forget about my money's going to the new Scout.

My Bronco (now 3 years in my hands) has been great. 103k miles with no down days (despite a significant shock failure) it has never left me stranded. A really great vehicle.

Thank you! this fixed my issue that just started happening. I noticed the front guide of the driver side t-top section had a lot of scuffing/wear on it so I also added to that one too.

No more Race Red or Iconic Silver

i pre-ordered on the 2nd or 3rd day - but chose lux, MIC, and tow package on my sasquatch badlands, and I picked it up in October of 2022. Looks like those options forced my bronco to take 13 more months than yours to build. I am glad on the new 2025's you can finally build a FE like Badlands, and the new steering rack + hoss 3.0 is plus. That soft top looks so bad though, and really ruins the lines of the bronco. Also, i have the sunrider top bnib

Looks like the bean counters at Ford were at work. Glad I got a two door race red Badlands with 2.7 engine in 2023. Good info.

Don’t worry, your warranty will be gone when this becomes an issue for you.

Was going to get a 2025 but saw my choices were very limited as I wanted a 2dr. Just picked up a 2024 Heritage 2dr fresh off the truck and below MSRP.

What happened to wild track ?

I got laid off for the 2nd time in 6 months after relocating to Seattle in 2022. Haven't been able to find a job due to that employer or someone on my linkedin badmouthing me without my knowledge until recently. 2 years of denied applications and lost round 3 interviews. absolutely helpless. I totaled my 14 tacoma of 10 years 98k. My girlfriend of 6 years decided that was a great reason to leave me even though it was because she couldn't take accountability for cheating on me raw with her co-workers male friend. My solution? F it, finance a bronco with 25k budget and whatever I can pay monthly with my bartender job.

Glad I got the Black Diamond I wanted in 2022.

It's ridiculous!!! Ford got greedy!!!! I thought they would learn their lesson but no .......they suck!!!!!

Nice review. My 23 Badlands two door with 2.7 engine recently went over a year with 12000 miles. Running great, but last month we were at a lodge in a wooded area and rodents chewed on wiring above the transfer case and I got a 4x4 fault warning. Dealer diagnosed a faulty front stabilizer bar module, covered under warranty, but the chewed wiring was not.

is the missing hub cap on purpose, didn't it fall off in the movie?

I just picked up a hot pepper red 4d badlands sasquatch hard top this weekend. It's going to be a daily driver and weekend warrior for me here in the mountain west. I'm already planning fog lights, ditch lights, rear tailgate shelf, rear shelf and air compressor.

Nice to hear the positive review so far. My sun visor is impeded by my rear view mirror also. The only thing I could change or intend to upgrade is to add in some fog lights to help the lighting.

The shadows makes me look bruised 😂

I think it will be good for the high interest rate and price of vehicles. The price of new cars are getting out of range for an average person can afford.

I’ll never buy a EV, because i can’t afford any new cars

I think it is a great thing! Not just for automotive, but the need to deregulate and decrease the size of government in general....in regards to automotive specifically: gun to my head I would never buy an EV, even 30 years from now. It is one of the primary reasons I decided to go with a Bronco as opposed to the new LC 250 which was only offered as a hybrid.

I’m glad lake started his channel. What I’ve been telling people for years being called stupid on those people are now learning they were wrong.

How did this fix hold up long term since you posted this video?

Is Ford still utilizing the internal water pump? I had the 3.5 years ago, what a night that was.

But why the oil pump belt they should gear it or chain it

If it is a v6 why does it have twin turbos? I think the honda ridgeline v6 would be a better choice? Anybody with expert knowledge chime in

New Bronco owner in SW Virginia here, thanks for the great series of Bronco videos.

That's the pre East St Louis truckster, it still has hubcaps and doesn't have hon key lips spray painted on it

I don’t care how much he spent on that family truckster. It’s awesome!

How much do i owe you? How much you got?

Thank you

Metallic Pea!

The 2.3 and the 2.7 are great engines. They are fun with lots of charisma, no matter what the application. The 2.3 is easy to modify and that makes it personal. I do not have a Bronco, but if you are an EcoBoost guy, you have my vote. That is why I watch your channels.

Really enjoy my 20 Ranger. Have modified it and have quite a bit of get up and go! The 10 speed tranny shifts smoothly too.

Actually replacing the stock air oil separator with a catch can on some engines like BMW's M52 M52tu and M54 does boost performance throughout the entire powerband. It even improved my mpg. I went from 12.4 mpg to 13.5 mpg in the city. On my car the main reason for me doing the CCV delete is because the stock system drains everything it catches back into the oil pan.

and what oil to use for 2.3 ecoboost??

You don’t need the keys to turn on the infotainment system, just push the infotainment power button. It will run for 1 hour.

Id like to see the results of testing ethanol fuel additives for prevention of ethanol issues while running e85! Whats the best and not snake oil?

I beg to differ on oil brand and its composition . Some brands make certain engines balastic and some make them dull its only they dont pass to cabins of 4wheelers. Bikes and scooters give immediate feedback on different brands of oils with same grade compstions .

Thanks for the video! 24 badlands and mine ended up being the smaller pins at the front lever. Wonder if someone will come out with a new style pin to screw in and prevent the popcorn noises?

AT THE MOMENT I AM ON VACATION AND HEADING WEST 😅❤

I have the 2023 Wildtrak and really like the 2.7 and I installed J&L catch can and there is not a lot of oil in the reservoir at each oil change interval at 6400 km….but enough to feel good that it is working to protect the engine.

Bad design having a filter on turbo oil supply that’s not easily accessible making it a ticking ecoboom.
