We get to take the all new Ford Bronco off roading to test its rock crawling abilities! And if you've been wondering how it might compare to a Jeep Wrangler, this is a must watch video!
Hope you all enjoy it! - Авто та транспорт
The best thing about the Bronco is it will force Jeep to up it's game.
Which is why the Jeep cult shouldn't attacking the Bronco. The competition will make both of them better.
No it won't till they get rid of the IFS front suspension,cost to build will be so high majority of people won't be able to afford to build and maintain know this from experience with ifs vehicles
@@2011blueman exactly.
Definitely they're going to have to make the JM crazy.
@@douglassmith8494 Yeah because the Toyota 4Runner and Ford Raptor IFS systems are well known for braking down and having expensive maintenance...oh wait (rolling eyes). The IFS is a major advantage for the Bronco over the Wrangler. It makes the Bronco better than the Jeep for everyday driving and high speed baja style off roading. Basically the Jeep is only better at hardcore bouldering and with that sway bar disconnect under load even that is only by a small margin. There is no way in hell they'd get rid of the IFS, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if Jeep came out with an IFS option in the not so distant future.
Gotta say i was impressed with the Bronco. Its about time Ford came back with it like this!
No mechanical 4wd control. This is off-road garbage. Jeeps will pulling these off trails for years.
Electronics are first to go on trail. Then it goes to limp mode. No 4wd. Stuck on trail.
Garbage
This is a soccer mom mover nothing more
@@SuperMirer Bruh. No way to know the reliability yet
@@spencerbrinton1397 100% proven electronic 4wd interfaces fail. Land rover have had issues with them for years. The big bronco has a special cooler on it to keep it cool. Off road needs mechanical 4wd not electric.
A rolling pc let anything get dented or wet the bronco. Will go pfffft
@@SuperMirer Honest question: what's the difference between mechanical and electronic 4wd?
Heck. With all the tech I'll just stay home! My Bronco can go wheeling with out me! 🤔
🤣🤣🤣😂👍
These are all cool and all but the more electronic control stuffs the more things to BREAK AND COST TO REPAIR
Its the e-bike for jeepers. But just like all the other, competition is good and there is a few things here that JEEP will benefit from and more over the aftermarket community. Welcome to the show, Bronco.
@@firstnamelastname9661 i thought the same thing!
lol
Is good to see some competition to the Wrangler in the US. That´s awesome for us, the customers!
There is no competition with that POS “off-road vehicle”
@@garyjohns4711 yea new Ford are complete ass but the old ones are solid like the 1978 Ford
If anything, I'm excited for the Bronco to come out, so I can see what Jeep will design in order to try and keep ahead
@@garyjohns4711 idk man he probably owned the shitty version of that truck 🤷♂️ probably didn’t have HPD44 axles front and rear either because there’s no way that truck is going to leave you stranded. It’s either that or he didn’t take car of his car
@@txgamer1347 dude that plastic pos doesn’t even compete with a TJ
I think this can be more of an everyday driver than the jeep. It has more of the electronics consumers are looking for and is more versatile. It also seems to be more impressive off-road right off the showroom floor. It also seems to be about the same cost or even a little less than the Rubicon with more features. Good job Ford!
Seen just about every Bronco video out there, and its nice to see Loren take some different trails for this video. Really showcases the capabilities better. Super happy I have my day 1 preorder for a Badlands Sasquatch, and can't wait to get it this summer
How's your Bronco?
@@isaacostlund Yeah don't have it. Much like alot of people who are day 1 preorders. don't even have a build date yet. Hoping to have one by April...
@@mathewsantangelo2840 Oh no, im sorry, i had no idea. Just found the bronco a few days ago and have been watching videos.
I am a new fan of the new Bronco. Thank you for showing it off.
The new Bronco is super cool! I can see this thing cutting deeply into Jeep sales. This is some serious competition! Way to go FORD!
yeap mall crawler status 100%
@@wraith511802003 oh wah wah, anything without a 7 slot grille is a “mall crawler” 😂 😂 😂
@@alexs3187 True facts hurt...
@@wraith511802003 here’s some facts, you didn’t comment on a Santa Fe video. You didn’t comment on a RAV4 video. You didn’t comment on a Land Cruiser video. You commented that on a Bronco at Moab video. Someone’s feeling a little threatened. 😂 You either work for FCA or just a batshit crazy blind fanboy who thinks he owes a company something for no reason.
@@alexs3187 Here is a fact crown vics wheel at moab on all the same obstacles this one did. There is nothing impressive about that... It is just another mall crawler to add to the sales pitch, the fact a prius was sharing the trails with the bronco is confirmation of mall crawler soccer mom status. Jeeps are not that impressive show room either. NONE of the are any more. They are all mall crawler certified, then you take the money kevin spent on thiers to make it a real off roader.
I think this proves that Jeep had been slacking on technology but charging as if it was included.
the wrangler can and will rolfstompe to hell and back this "bronco" stock or modified, period.. too much hype going on right now with the ford
@@yepitsme431 watch the other videos of the bronco at moab, this thing stock was covering obstacle's better than some of the highly modified jeeps were. The Wrangler would probably win in some aspects but the Bronco has already proven it can in others. I think its the hoonigans who already said they had it setup to take one and put 40s on it and a few other mods which I think would make it a beast. Its really good competition for jeep and will make them pick up their game as they need it.
@@yepitsme431 found the jeep owner
This Toyota fan knows how you feel🤣
@@yepitsme431 totally agree what u said about the Jeep wrangler...and yes too much hype about the Ford bronco...give it 3 years of hard core off roading with the Bronco and soon start replacing front end parts
I’m a die hard Jeep person and the Rubicon is the most bad ass factory 4x4 out there. I saw stuff from last year and saw how beat the test Bronco’s were after Moab and Rubicon. I’m thinking nice try Ford. Ford took that information and went back and tweaked the Bronco. I’m impressed. Unlocking sway bar mid obstacle. The turning brake. The one pedal. I received a questionnaire from Jeep about a drag-turning brake feature in the future. So Jeep is watching and listening to what Ford is doing. It’s going to be a 4x4 war. Just like the diesel truck war. Each up each one with more torque. Very impressed.
I hope jeep does it correct and disconnects the rear and full dig with front still locked up. Really do not like the idea of a turn knob transfer case. I have been stuck in 2wd with a Ranger because of that. Broncos have been notorious for bad transfer cases. Look forward to seeing what this thing can do more for dunes and high speed. The swaybar disco is cool I guess? I hit the trail and the first button I push is the disco ( thanks Tazer). Not being able to do it at higher speeds or in high range was the only issue I have had. I cannot think of a single time it taking a second has ever been an issue.
It is impressive. We took our Chevy ZR2 through Hell's Revenge in Moab this early Spring and it had no problems. The hill descent was a beautiful thing like the one pedal. Duramax was great.
@@RickStefaniBroncos have been notorious for bad transfer cases??? You might want to research and read up on the history of the Ford Bronco. If I am not mistaken, the Ford Bronco was mage from 1966 to 1996. From 1966 - 1977, Ford used the relatively light weight, cast iron, gear driven, reliable and durable Dana 20 transfer case.
The early models...1966 - 1972 had a 2.46:1 low range gear ratio. The 1978 and 1979 Ford Broncos.....and the vast majority of Ford F150, F250 and F350 trucks (and older Ford pickups) primarily used the heavy duty, cast iron, gear driven, reliable and durable New Process 205 transfer case. GM and on the other hand primarily used (except in vehicles equipped with the SM 465 transmission) the cast iron, chain driven "piece of junk" New Process 203 transfer case. Dodge also primarily used the New Process 203 transfer case.
Both Ford and GM switched the the New Process 208 transfer case...cast aluminum, chain driven...with OK reliability. In the 1980's and early - mid 1990's, Ford also used the Borg Warner 1356 transfer case and maybe the 1345. You might be correct on the Borg Warner transfer cases. However, the Dana 20 and New Process 205 transfer cases have proven to be fairly bullet proof and both have been used in custom built 4WD rigs for several years. Therefore, your statement of Broncos being notorious for bad transfer cases is incorrect.
@@15Jeep the Dana 20 Twin stick transfer case was terrible and not easy to use. I have seen more times then once someone spending 10 minutes trying to get it to shift. I loved that Bronco but that was always a complaint point for it.
Daaaaayuuuum. I was interested in getting a Bronco four door to be an every day ride, but this off road rock climbing takes things to a different level.
I’m impressed. This was my best video that I’ve watched showing what the Bronco was capable of doing. We built one at the dealership but still haven’t seen one in person. Hopefully we can see one soon. Great video guys. ✌🏼
I love my F150, but Im am definitely going to snatch up a Sasquatch. Holy Crap , thats bad ass.
@@anthonyolsen9299 no one cares
@@alextrainor2552 you did..
@@anthonyolsen9299 I totally agree brother.
Kevin and Brittany! Best real life video I have seen yet on these key Bronco features! Awesome job!
Finally a vid that shows what it can do. I don't care about about all the walk around vids lets see what its made of. I saw those Ford guys hanging out in Moab for the past couple years picking jeepers minds on what would they want in a perfect off road vehicle. Looks like they took most of our advice and almost nailed it right out of the box. What a place to get beta right. Jeep needs to step up their game now there is a new sheriff in town got me thinking hard about ditching the jeep and buying one.
Not bad for the first launch, it will only get better. I am so glad the Bronco is back. My Rubi goes back in 2 years and then its Bronco time
I was really hoping it was better than what I had in my mind, and it looks like it’s going to be awesome!
Can't wait to show my cousin this video. He been talking so much SMACK about the new Broncos and I think they are finally going to make jeep step up to the plate. Just stuffing a big V-8 in the wrangler isn't going to cut it. Thanks for the video!
Maybe if they put a 5.0 in the bronco otherwise I’d go with a jeep with a hemi in it all the way and I work at a Ford dealer, 2.7s have too many issues for my liking and these eco boosts in general don’t stand the test of time and can’t take as much abuse like the newer naturally aspirated v8s can
@@jaydenorcutt5677 I think they will either put the same ecoboost that is in the raptor in it rn or put a 5.0 in it
@@jaydenorcutt5677 facts...
Just when I thought TFL had the best video on this yet,pffff this was that with some raw real driving!!! Great job gang. Super impressed with the capabilities
Thanks for that video, it really show what the stock Bronco is capable of 🙏🏻❤️ love you guys
glad yall collaborating with these bad ass guys
Ford should really use this video to showcase more of what it can do. Very cool vehicle that I'm sure we'll see lots more of.
This made me feel better about the Bronco. I have a registration for one, held back on the ordering. This video helped! Thanks guys!!!!
You guys put together some of the best content on UA-cam, I remember when u guys started and I’m so glad for your success. The Bronco has some ridiculous good tech, that’s useable! Wow! Bravo guys, truly awesome.
So much packed into one video I'm going to have to rewatch to catch it all.
My thoughts on the Bronco, there is a lot of electronically controlled items on this new Bronco , which in turn I feel may be troublesome the first two years of being introduced , Ford has a lot to prove with the electronics on this vehicle as far as reliability , so Jeep will be my choice for the next few years !
It seems to me that Ford is taking this Bronco reintroduction very seriously, but yes, long term reliability is going to be the make or break qualifier for a lot of people .
Blah blah blah - EVERY new vehicle is full of electronics. How long have Jeeps/PW had electronic sway bar disconnects? Oooo, spooky! Electronic lockers? Scary! And, you mean that your entire engine & trans is full of electricity?! Regardless of brand!
Stop being afraid of electricity - you're entire life is surrounded by it. It's in your pocket, all over your house, all over your car... This is a weak argument in 2021.
And you should probably check out the most recent Shelby Mustangs too. Or the 2nd/3rd gen Raptor(or the Ford GT for that matter; only car with 2 different spring rates, it's suspension design is completely unique). Ford has been doing this thing for a minute or two(didn't it just take a decade before a Raptor competitor finally showed up?)...
Wise choice
RyTrapp0 sounds like you have never bought a first year model of a vehicle which often has its share of problems that is experienced and it takes a model year or two for the manufacturer to work out. Vehicles full of electric technology do have more crap to malfunction, just ask any Mercedes owner. Depends on the manufacturer as I wouldn’t trust a Chrysler product full of electric crap. For off road I like the idea of keeping it simple, which also usually means more reliable, cheaper to buy and maintain. Ford does seem to have but this new Bronco through lots of real world testing so they may have got the bugs worked out. I own a Jeep CJ7, a Wrangler Rubicon and I plan on adding the new Bronco to the stable in a couple of years. I have always been a huge fan of the original first gen Broncos and Ford got this new one right in my book.
@@RyTrapp0 with every additional feature added to anything you increase the points-of-failure exponentially. One of the things Jeep Wranglers have going for them is they're still relatively simple vehicles compared to most other modern cars and trucks that have push-button controlled everything, heated whoop-de-doos and and a plethora of creature features. If you're one of those people like me, who has owned the same vehicle for 20 years (97 Chevy K1500), then longevity of modern features is incredibly important.
So, I for one, am glad to see Ford out in Moab and other places pushing the Bronco in real world environments. Of course these vehicles get to go back to Ford mechanics at the end of the day, but at least they're being punished in front of a live studio audience.
Great Show n Tell about the Bronco's abilities!! Loved that you didn't get bogged down in the tech like everyone else. Also didn't chicken out on the harder stuff and really showed off what the 'Bronc' CAN do. Good job Lite Brite!! looking forward to seeing action videos of your new 'Bronc' when it finally comes in...
I think this is one of my favorite videos from you guys. It was an honest review, and showed us the potential of the new Bronco.
Awesome to see the bronco putting on a good show for IFS 😉. I was really hoping this vehicle would help put to bed some of peoples misconceptions about it and it looks like so far it's doing a good job.
FACTS! Owned both, like them both, prefer IFS for several reasons. And never had an issue with IFS, so many people think its not durable but it really is when done right. Bronco nailed it !
So much technology! It'll be interesting to see how well that all plays with mods as people get deeper and deeper into messing with things.
I think that it will be interesting to see how much it will cost when this stuff breaks.
THIS is my FAVORITE Bronco video because YOU, Lite Brite are doing it! Thanks for more great content!!
So cool to see you guys be impressed! Makes me look forward to it even more!
The modular fenders are BADASS, google videos about it.
Bronco has a lot of other really cool features as well. I'm still a Jeep guy until the Bronco is a couple years in & time-proven.
Saw this notification this morning and spent the last few hours speeding to get home to watch it. Love this Bronco content, finally some true tests!!
Great video. I am on my 3rd Wrangler (2002, 2012 and 2020) and am very excited to see some healthy competition because we ALL win!.
The stuff they go through @ 4:44 is exactly the stuff I thought the Bronco would be better at, than the Jeep, because of the IFS.
And it was also the reason why I have been advocating for a dirt/sand build Bronco.
You could trash around on desert roads for fun, and then go to the beach and wash the dirt off, it's win-win !
We know our dynamic duo likes the beach, so hopefully the Bronco will give them an excuse to go there some more. 😊
Discovered Lite Brite when I was researching for a Wrangler purchase. Ultimately never pulled the trigger. Have a Bronco Badlands ordered and can’t wait. Thanks for another great video.
If this trend of vehicle inovation continues. The ultimate middle class home will have more garage space than living space.
Consider that Stepchild will never go away. The Ultra4 car. The buggy for Brittany. The big Ram tow vehicle. And now the Bronco. The American Dream has shifted!!!
I think Kevin and Brittany might need to build themselves a barndominium! Then they will have enough for their toys too!
My garage sq ft is like 1/3 of what my home is lol
This is the most useful review of the Bronco I have seen so far. Thank You!
I almost gave up on my Bronco order, had gone and test drove new Jeep’s, then I got my email from Ford. My 4 dr 2.7 badlands with Sasquatch & mic hardtop will be built last week of July. Then to Maxlider. Super excited, especially after this video.
wow ford doing a very good job on giving their vehicle cool stuff first the new F-150 with the hybrid system and the chair that turns to bed and then the bronco with an off-road system, this is very impressive
Also the Mach e which is truly the only direct comparison to the Tesla model Y. Ford has been doing an amazing job
I was nervous of what would happen since they stopped their car sales in the US, but looks like their cars were dragging them down. Now they can focus on what they're really good at, and seems they're doing a damn good job. Aside from the Taurus and Fusion, Ford never made good cars. They've always done the truck SUV thing better.
It’s cool, Ford has a lot to prove though. I don’t think it’ll be a Jeep killer, but it will certainly help to bring about an era of 4x4 competition and innovation between manufacturers, which I’m looking forward to.
It definitely will. Jeep will still be the leader in the rocks but this really proved Ford did it’s homework.
I’ve yet to see a rock crawl obstacle that a stock Jeep can perform that the Bronco can not and the one pedal drive is far above the competition
I am SO stoked for my Bronco. I absolutely cannot wait for its delivery. Getting the Black Diamond with Sasquatch.
Awesome vid....you guys got me pumped...I can't friggin wait to get my Badlands "Squatch"!
As far as new vehicles go , the Bronco has definitely set the bar .
And in tall order.
Gotta love the Ford sponsorship of this video. Jeep wins. BTW check the pricing on that unit. "You can't do that in a Jeep". Gotta love it. Channel sponsor.
This is very interesting. Great Daily Driver and Weekend Wheeler. Seems like it minimizes the compromises between good for off-road and good for highway daily driving.
impressive. I didn't think the bronco was coming with the chops. eye opening. ty
Like the bronco with all it does even more that you can have the front camera on while driving so you can see obstacles or what right in front when climbing a hill is so cool
That is cool! When they had it on driving the faster roads it looked distracting, but that may just be the camera angle being a different view from the driver's view.
Dang I cancelled my pre order. I didn’t want to deal with first model year bugs. I’ll be keeping an eye on yours
Usually when the manufacturer brings in new line of vehicle...it takes 3 years to know what the bugs r
Manual transmission for Sasquatch is coming out in 2022
Wow...that broncos has goodies and can wheel. Gonna be nice seeing what you 2 are gonna turn yours into. Can't wait. Eagerly awaiting your next video. Safe travels
You guys are killin it, selling dreams, and Broncos.
Curious to see whag kind of tops Besttop comes out for these. Ford knocked it out of the park with the new Bronco.
Buy a white one and name it OJ
😂😂💪🏾
O.J. would've loved one of these!
Great video & Awesome performance & Tech from the new Bronco 💯🤩😎
Off-roading is not in my universe, but watching this makes me want to do it! Very cool!!
Ohhh Ya!! You guys are so awesome Best Content out there! Is that the stock top on it? and thank you :)
Yes, that’s the factory soft top!
Disconnects sway bars mid flex
*Jeep Wrangler Rubicon has left the chat*
*Toyota KDSS enters chat*
KDSS is not the best. Worse flex compared to the Jeep and bronco.
Haha, there are always Japanese spies, Move to Japan man!
Except KDDS sucks to fix. This is an enclosed hydraulic unit shouldn’t suck ass to replace or be 8K to replace shocks.
@@AustinH7 agree but if it works more reliable than the electronic disconnect that is a win.
Wow, I think we all just got a lot more excited about the Bronco! Loren is awesome too!
Nice video. Tank turn which is locking the rear tire for turn has been standard in Toyota Landcruiser for a long time.
Now I want one. And did I hear Kevin right "a giveaway." Count me in.
I like it. But being that my current 2020 JLUR on 37’s is my 5th Wrangler since 1997, I’ll stick with my Jeeps. They’ve all been good to me with no problems other than the dumb stuff I’ve done.
This is where personal choice comes into play. Myself..... I'd want the Bronco.
Video helped me make up my mind on my next vehicle 🙌🏻 loving the Ford Bronco 💪🏻
"Blow a kiss, blow a kiss"...I loooved that😅😅😅😅😅 such a nice and educative video by the way👍
Competition is good for business. This is the first Bronco video I've seen that truly made it look interesting. It is going to be fun to watch you custom out one.
Excited your getting the Bronco... Just keep the Videos balanced Jeep/Bronco... And we’ll be waiting for Brits “5 things I don’t like about the Bronco” 😳🤪👍
I feel this was a good honest review. Thank you
Great video guys.. kind of bummed that I cancelled my Bronco Badlands 2 days before the big Texas snow storm and bought a 2021 Jeep Rubicon. Even though my dealership told me I was in their first batch of orders I still couldn’t count if delays from the factory would push my order back even further.. but looking forward to y’alls build and maybe in a couple of years I can get one..
Wow that Bronco has really impressed me!
It impressed us too
@@boughtnotbuiltoffroad7784
Have you guys decided what sort of direction you guys intend to take your Bronco ?
I have been advocating for a beach buggy / desert stormer for a while now. 😁
Take it out on a weekend, get dirty, wash the dirt off at the beach, kind of dealio.
Like the kid that skips schools, and goes to the beach after a bunch of shenanigans.
Call it something like Stray Child, or perhaps Reckless Child. 😆
Yeah, I mind of digging the rebellious vibe in that line of thought, I think american youth would too.
It's the car that has come to upset the status quo in the offroad scene in america.
I'm thinking a bit of rebellion would be good for a somewhat stagnant market.
Edit :
Sorry for the wall of text, I rambled a bit there. 🤣
That's magic and extra sick!! Awesome how it can disconnect while flexed out. Can't wait for you guys to get your Bronco.
great video, this will turn some heads and get people to rethink a lot in the stock to mildly upgraded off road world.
I'm impressed. Just configured a base Bronco w/ 2.7 & Sasquatch package. $43k for 2-door and $46k for 4-door. Won't be able to do a deal until December.
What's up you lucky bastard Kevin! 😍
I wish I liked this less. Feels like cheating on my Jeep. But it looks SO good!
Haha It is what it is, when you didn't have much of a choice before this
At least it has more technology and looks good.
One of the best Bronco reviews yet!
I'm just now getting into the off-road scene, I don't have a rig yet, but I love your videos and the new bronco is amazing! Keep up the awesome work! Subscribed :))
Impressive vehicle 👍 Not as easy to lift as a solid axle jeep for extreme rock crawling, but for 99% of offroading just as good.
It flexes much less, but i agree it will do just fine for 80% offroading and have better on road ride, it's very good for market variety that it is different
Looks impressive, a great contender!! So what's Sara's thoughts about off roading, love or...... Great video guys!!! Much love and respect everyone always ♥️♥️💯🤙
It’s super cool. I can definitely see myself getting some sort of off road vehicle in the future. This trip showed me so much I’m just blown away.

I'm a chevy guy, but now think I want a Bronco,😳...Sweet video LiteBrite.🤩🤍
If only Chevy hadn't screwed up with that abomination they called the Blazer!
@@firefighteruppy9121 yep. Chevy has lost touch with what real off-roading is all about. Bring back the 67 thru 72 Blazer.
@@dennishough3709 Exactly! They could have hit gold with a retro styled early Blazer! But instead, they dump out another common crossover car that disappears in a sea of crossovers. Give us a full sized, V8 powered, two doored, solid axled, removable toped utility truck that the common working man can afford. Utility companies, municipal departments and the military could have bought fleets of them. Don't worry about dressing it up with all the bells and whistles. If it's popular, the aftermarket will flood it. Let us outfit it the way we want. Corporate GM really screwed the pooch when they slapped the Blazer name on something that doesn't even come close to upholding the Blazers legacy.
I’m a Ford guy thru and thru...Superduty’s, Expedition and Mustang 5.0’s. But for off-road I have A 2021 RUBICON. The Bronco is awesome but I DO NOT do independent front suspension on a trail rig!
never i thought i’d see the day to say i like fords! well just the bronco but i own a 2000 jeep sport cherokee and seeing this is just amazing
Excellent video! Thanks
Loved your reactions when the swaybar was disconnected while flexing! Your videos are like fresh air! Thank you for all your hard work and passion! I can feel it every time I watch you guys!
I'm very exited to see what you do to yours, and how it compares to Jeeps, both stock and modified! P.S. You guys should get a Defender to complete the off road trifecta! Plus, I would really like to see it pushed to its limits in true Lite Brite fashion!
I am really in love with the capabilities of is that truck is a gem
Great video, very surprising with some great features. Hopefully it's a durable and reliable as everyone is wanting! Thank you!
I was about to set a down payment on a new 4Runner Off-road. I’d say this video made me change my mind 🙂
Don't be so quick to right off the 4runner. I went through all of that stock, didn't need fancy electronics to navigate a trail, it doesn't tow any like the 4runner can, 4runner is a 250000 mile vehicle. I doubt Ford will compete with its reliability and it looks like all the features come from a landcruiser. Idk I wouldn't give up my runner for something that has way to much technology and will shake it self to death on a serious trail. Been through Moab in my TRD off road totally stock no problem at all, ofcourse I got a scratch on the under bumper but I enjoy seeing them knowing I used the thing for what it was designed for, take me and the family across the country very comfortably, hit hell's revenge and drive me back home doing the speed limit plus 20 mph at times.
You should definitely wait if you can. Toyota has a great reputation but they aren’t leading the class at anything here and they are in need of a lot of upgrades. The bronco does everything you could ask for and has the engine power to boot. Toyota’s are always great but anemic in the power plant.
@@LiteBrite I'm going to bat for the 4runner. The engine is very reliable and runs 90mph on the highway all day long with power to spare. Never felt like it didn't have the get up to merge, pass or climb a hill. I was climbing Test Hill at Silver Lake sand dunes and rock crawling Hell Revenge totally stock and never was upset about power. I can tow 5000 pounds and feel perfectly safe doing so. Heck I race sedans and blow them off sometimes to. As far as style I'm going with the Mercedes G class method. If it sells and it works leave it alone. Just got back from Florida and I've never seen more 4runners in my life. I'm going with keep it simple so when you're in the middle of nowhere less is more, more or less. Great video and keep making dusty roads!
@@bwma I’ve been eying both rigs for over a year now 🙂 I don’t really need the extra space.
@@koenoder4323 Yeah it is longer. My dog in the back loves the rear drop down window. I need the extra space for family and luggage. Whatever the case get a vehicle and get out there. Some awesome places to explore and awesome terrain to play in. Never felt better that the feeling of climbing up over something that made my brain question how physics works. 🤣👍
Eggs,bacon, and lightbright. Perfect morning!
Sounds like a great morning
That was cool, best video yet showing what it’s capabilities are so far👍
WOW! I am even MORE IMPRESSED with the Bronco than ever before! --- Only thing that needs to be done is to add a 4 inch lift with 37 inch Nitto EXO Grappler tires which work on street and off-road very well in all seasons!
THIS IS SWEET !!!
I'm getting mine!

I have read a lot of comments from here talking about "what happens when all technology fails" and I can just say that Bronco is gonna be built by the same company that has been built the Raptor for years with basically the same technology and I haven't seen big issues with the Raptor which makes believe that this technology will be as reliable as a Ford Raptor.

Never a timing problem with chains, tensioners or camshaft phasers. Never needed a turbo and not one burns oil. We change the oil every 3,000 miles. Only use a stock Ford oil filter and always a very good synthetic oil. Take care of the maintenance and you will not have any problems.
@@nm-qt2hb POINT is, other platforms are not as needy.. that is the point..
I want one now, before not at all
This video is almost making me regret giving my current rig a straight axle and lots of flex , making it so it can ride on 37s instead of getting a Bronco. Those things are so much sexier now :) WOW!
Great looking car. Good review in the context of what off-roaders would want to do too. That's an amazing looking place to drive! Ever since hearing of it in the late '80s through mountainbiking I've wanted to go there. We'll see
I bet you can't wait for your Bronco! Happy Trails to you both!
HOT DOG!!! Jeep out rock crawls on rocks but Bronco out runs in the open. Again, FINALLY Bronco vs Jeep. Johnson Valley is calling. RUN THEM ..........please!!!
This was a great video on the new Ford Bronco and the off road tech, in Moab. I am waiting for my new Ford Bronco so I can go 4x4 in Moab, Black bear pass in Colorado and all over Montana. Summer is almost here.
Very cool vid!!! The Bronco was impressive! I mean, the Stepchild rocks, but this has to have much better on-road habits, yet does great off-road as well! And the top is so much more open, which is cool...thanks for demonstrating that for us Brit! I need a Bronco!!!
