So, having now put nearly 60k miles on my Bronco, the problems have been minimal on mine, no rattles, water leaks, or drivetrain issues. Quality control at Ford is clearly a problem because others have had significant problems. This is legitimately one of the most problem free vehicles that I have ever owned and I have owned many new vehicles and even more used ones.
Depends on owner maintenance too
Don’t jinx it 😅
yes, thank you
I’m just curious how you have put almost 60k miles on your car already?! Since they’re only 2-3 years old. Do you travel a lot?
@@juliajohnson6562 yes, I "commute" almost 750 miles every weekend.
I just got my 2023 Badlands with the sasquatch and the mid package after 16 months. So far I love it. It's comfortable to drive and has very good road manners. I had heard a lot about the road noise prior to purchase. It has the hard top and on the way home from the dealership I really didn't notice a big noise issue. After all it's an off road vehicle. I've also seen complaints about the sound system. I've owned over 25 cars in my life and I think the sound system kicks. Maybe not as good as my Bose in the Caddy, but pretty good. Doors seem a little flimsy but it's to be expected considering their modular. There are a ton of mods which is cool. It's a blast to drive, no regrets here.
Wow 16 month wait…I just put in my order for a Heritage edition, and they told me that there is a possibility that it won’t get built. I really wanted the Everglades, but they are not building that one for 2023 anymore, and still don’t know if it’s going to come back for 2024 or not.
17 months for my two-door Badlands and I only just got my build date- May 1, 2023. So, excited, but also disappointed in Ford.
Still takes that long of wait?
I have a ‘22 big bend in the same color. I haven’t done much to it but I want to get some lights added. I honestly love the car and have had no problems. I’d recommend everyone to get one.
My favorite features are:
1. The different drive modes
2. Size / comfort
3. Customizability
Is it Area 51 color or the Azure Gray
My 2 favorite features on my 2-Door base Bronco:
1. The fact that I can take off the roof panels with my roof rails still in place. NOTE: The hardtop (with all the panels in) has sound deadening, though it is still pretty loud when compared to a luxury vehicle.
2. The crawler gear is so fun off road. No need to worry about stalling out with the manual transmission, as it is basically like a very low speed off road cruise control (as low as 1MPH if you want). Plus, it can get through anything.
Booyah 👊 😁 👍 🇺🇲
You still cant buy one.
@@jeffk464 I just got a big bend sasquatch 4Dat MSRP +$2K by just calling every dealer and telling them what I'm looking for. They sold me a cancelled order.
My dream vehicle... Badlands with the 2.7L.
I finally received my 2023 Ford Bronco Badlands with hardtop 2.3l manual, and i love it. took it up to my property that has rough roads to access it and it did very good. I cant wait to take it hunting.
Did yours have the subwoofer?
Nice review! I have the 2022 4-Door BaseSquatch. Love it. Rec'd in 6 months and paid $43K.
I love the frameless doors. They feel like Jeep half doors. The glass can be funky but overall not an issue.
The trick with the frameless doors is to get the windows adjusted for the correct amount of engagement into the top weatherstripping. They can snag if too much. I adjusted per ford's procedure and it works good now.. I would prefer framed doors, but they are cool. I drive with all windows down until it gets below 40,
Great review! Definitely earned my subscribe.
Whoa! The man’s been working out! 👍🏽
One of the great things about your reviews is that I find out about vehicles I knew nothing about, and learn about them in detail. Thanks for an extensive overview of the Ford Bronco. Cheers~
Thanks for checking it out, there’s so much to cover with this one so it was definitely tricky!
I think the big bend with rear locker manual is the cheapest 4-door truck platform offroader with a real rear axle + true locking diff you can get in any vehicle. At least that was heavily weighted when I was comparing wrangler, tacoma, bronco. (Disclosure, I went with the bronco for ~38 K). It's a shame you can't add lockers to the base without going full sasquatch (which loses out on the net cost but truly a valuable package).
The 2.7L is very solid… I have the first Bronco in Florida from June 2021 with over 20,000 miles and zero issues.
A whole 20k miles? Wow!🙄 Let us know when it gets over 175k miles. Just saying.
@@ilc-nl3yyThere's about a million F-150's with the same engine with high mileage.
@@Redneck_Wizard What do you consider high mileage? My father's 2012 F150 with the 4.6 recently hit 405k miles with the original engine. He changed the transmission about 150k miles ago because he didn't want to get stranded while pulling his boat. I doubt these ecoboosts will even come close. My 05 Mustang 4.6 has over 255k miles and it's my daily driver. I've been a Ford fan for years, but now they're pure 💩.
Great review! My 23 Badland is finally built and being shipped now. About 6 month wait. Can't wait to enjoy it.
That heritage model is my favorite so good job Ford from me even though I probably could never work on the dam thing myself like I’m normally used to doing but I still love it because it’s so bronco looking as it should be meaning the beautiful 60s bronco look , good job guys
Great video. Which Amber pocket lights are those?
I have a 2022 2 door Outer Banks with 2.7 and lux pkg. LOVE it! The power of the 2.7 is incredible and the drive is awesome both in city and highway driving. I had an F150 with the V8 & 10-speed transmission and it didn't quite feel right but having the 10-speed with the V6 in my bronco, it's probably the smoothest of any transmission I've had in any vehicle. The valve thing is blown out of proportion and people need to let that go. The ones blown were fixed under warranty and they were only on builds over a month or two in mid 2021. Mine was built in Feb 2022 so it's way past that era. I have a small amount of wind noise but that's my only complaint, and it's a minor one....this is a convertible after all. I'm very happy I bought when I did. When I go and spec mine out on the ford website now, it's over $8k more. Plus, I got a lower interest rate than what's available these days. I think if you're ordering this vehicle, don't worry too much about the reliability. It's a well built vehicle and if there's any issues, that's what warranty is for! Take it for regular service and you'll enjoy this vehicle for years to come. I'm coming up to a year with mine and It's been awesome.
thinking about getting this exact same model and specs with hard top as well. i know you mentioned it, but how is the wind noise with the hard top? is it that bad? ive been in a two door wrangler with a hard top and on the highway it was pretty bad. wondering if its similar or better than that
@@bakedRigatonii I'm not a huge fan of driving the bronco down the highway when it's windy out. That's when you can really hear the wind noise. But if it's a calm day, the noise on the highway isn't too bad. In general, the bronco is a fantastic vehicle with the 2.7 twin turbo. It drives way nicer than a jeep, it's got incredible power and it's fun. Would I buy it again?....practicality and cost wise, probably not. As a fun factor second vehicle? For sure! The removable hard top is a great idea, but I live in Canada so it's not often I'll have it off and on the highway with it off is incredibly noisy! I could have gotten a Toyota 4-runner with a sunroof and that probably would have sufficed. It's a vehicle that people buy on emotion. That's kind of what I did. I love it but hate things about it too. Hope that helps.
Where did you go for your Bronco script badges and those side rails/sliders? Look great!
I own a 21 Jeep gladiator Mojave it has 45,000 miles on it and I’ve been a jeep guy for a long time now but I must say the bronco is awesome, I drove one that my buddy got and it’s just as fun if not more fun to drive than my Mojave.
Apparently the pieces on hood align with the inside track of the front tires so you can where your tires are lining up on the trail as your driving.
I really like the bronco and I’m considering buying one, right now I’m in a 22 tundra which is an amazing truck
Having owned a Bronco 11, and thoroughly enjoyed it, I would like one of these
I went with the Badlands without the squach pack, WITH the manual. It's perfect.
Rented one in Hawaii and had an absolute blast. Base trim 2-door with stock tires, but that didn't stop us from exploring as much of Kauai as we could. Bronco was quick and decent on gas (23.7mpg for our 4 days of driving) but on small roads or dirt, it was incredible fun. Not something I'll ever buy unless the cost plummeted, but definitely rent one from Turo if you get the chance.
guy bitches about the cost of the Bronco, but vacations to Hawaii lmao. Take that travel money and treat yourself to a vehicle that isn't a shitbox. I got a 2 door Outerbanks Lux leather and all the goodies for $49k. That's reasonable, considering what new cars cost these days and it has all the options I could ever want.
I have just a Base with stock wheels and love it. I'm not into anything hard core and don't want it any higher. It handles great on the road and gets reasonable milage for a truck. You can get a base 2door manual for around $30K.
@@hitleractually8180lm glad you like it but $49K isn't exactly pocket change.
Dealers charging 10K to 20K over msrp? Now the Ford shenanigans with hardtops and Sasquatch package cancellations. I wanted to purchase one but came so my senses quite a while back. If a dealer will screw your out of 20K on a Bronco, they will screw you over on a vehicle that they have in stock. I am so hopeful that in the future car purchases will be made directly with the manufacturer. Nothing would make me more happy than to see these dealerships suffer. KARMA.
@@mr.wilson8340same. I want direct to consumer purchases. I don’t care about haggling. Charge me MSRP, but l won’t pay over.
The sights on the fenders tell you where the inside of the front tires are
Just bought a 2023 Black Diamond and love it so far! Can’t wait to take the top off and drive to the beach! Want to get some lights and stuff to hook up to the aux switches. Haven’t driven over 55mph but the wind sound with the hard top isn’t bad (so far).
When did you order/when did you recieve? I am wanting to order a black diamond w SAS package.
@@mattgiammichele167 I didn’t order it. I went to a local Ford dealership to order a Bronco and they had one in stock. I wasn’t looking to get the Black Diamond but I’m glad I got it. I kinda wish I would have ordered one so I could get the SAS package but I still love mine. Has the washout floorboards with drains, hard top and aux switches.
@@kmemro9857 Thx for the answer. Mind me asking how much you paid?
That Heritage is freaking BEAutiful! Omg!
Hahaha! 2:30 launch sounded like a Gran Turismo 1 start😂
The bronco is beautiful to me. I just got a 2008 gx470 and will one day own a bronco.
Does the Everglades edition come with steel wheels?
Does the Heritage trim come with steel wheels?
Which gear uses a 1:1 ratio on the manual transmission?
If a person were to buy the very least expensive version of the 2023 Bronco, would it come from the factory with skid plates?
P.S. I appreciate that this video is not just about Broncos with list prices over $40,000 .
Nice , thorough review. Thanks💯✔️🇺🇸👍🏽
I'd love to get one but my local dealership wants $20k to 30k ADM. They have a $120K Raptor if anyone is interested.
They can ask any amount they want. If its still at the dealer its too much.
How much would you be looking to spend on one ...ive seen a few in pa with no addendum but most ads in the $50k to $60k range
Love this build out on the Bronco!
Can you provide a build sheet?
What is the size of the wheels? Lift? Rims and tires? fog lights?
Bronco is sick!
Had a fully loaded Sasquatch on order since 6/2021. Ended up needing a four door vehicle sooner and went with an M340i. This video makes me very tempted to check out my build when it delivers in March next month. Not sure I’ll make the switch though after hearing the drawbacks.
I make the 2.7 and it has been a crappy few years for us but I think we got it fixed
This is all great but how do I order a new one? Every time I contact a Ford dealer they say orders aren't open yet.
Some great style and stance from Ford on the Bronc in general...
Well I got my 2021 🌵 grey Sasquatch OuterBanks 4 door in Feb. 2, 2022. 2.7 engine It’s almost 1 yr. Old Loving It :)
Really great design
Can you tell what size wheels and offset you are running? Love the Stance of that one .
I own a 22 Big Bend manual transmission. I truly love it. My only draw back to it is not having a E brake peddle or hand brake. The electronic one to me doesn't seem practical for a manual. Almost ended in a ditch at work because of it.
I want one of these BAD!
I would love to have the heritage edition with the coyote in it
I want one so bad but there’s none at any dealers near me and have heard there is terrible wait times ordering through Ford
I think that Ford did everything right with the new Bronco, thanks for the review.
I just bought a 2023 and
I agree
Did Ford give you driver seat memory?
@@write2nick
What is the exact model that you have behind you in the thumbnail, the greyish one
What fog light kit do you have?
Nice I'll go order one right meow!
Does anyone know where you can find the fender emblems that they have on this?
Have a 2022 Wild Trak soft top I like it very much cold winter in Wisconsin and very warm in -0 temps if I wanted a luxury car I would have bought one I like it very much
What running boards are on that bronco
Traded in my 2022 Tesla model 3 performance in for a 2022 Bronco wildtrak with 10 miles. By far the best car decision I've made. The funnest car I've had and I can mod it up to be more of a beast than it already is.
strange trade but glad you are happy
Teslas lost value. I got out before they slashed their prices by almost 15k. So no not a strange trade.
I just got one and have to say that the hard top makes a big difference. It really feels like not a convertible with the hard top on. I do agree about the sound system though. That has to go ASAP.
I'd love to buy one if they would let me order it
I have a 4 door jeep Wrangler and nothing but problems I bought it new too . Been seriously looking to get a new bronco
What tires do you have? Brand, model and number please. 😃
Badland sasquatch, 4 door with v6. Mine has been in the shop for over 58 days. I bought it July 20th 2023. Cam phasers x2, and now the check engine light is on and the radio is no longer working. 2600 miles...
The Heritage Is Beautiful.
What is up with the top??? Are they all cloth top convertibles now?
Okay, guns!!! Look at those arms!
Aw Shucks
I love the fact that you could get a two door manual transmission in the Sasquatch package
Is the manual only available on the 2 door version? Can’t get it as an option on the ford site for the 4 door base
I have a 2022 4dr Badlands Manual
I have trail turn assist in my 2.3l
He listens to Noname? Ofc he has taste 👏🏿🔥
Al fin un video honesto
Curious to know if the waiting times are still that long. 2024 is just around the corner and I see they’re available to purchase online but do not want to wait so long for it. Dealers tend to have the horrible sport models.
Great Overview!
7:59 What is the liquid storage box in the rear? I want one!
What about the lower control arms that keep snapping, have those been fixed?
What happens if the roof is off and you get caught in the rain? Is the interior damaged (electronics)?
The roof panels have their own nylon bags and can be stored in the back cargo area. You can clip the bags to the roll bar to hold them upright. So the panels can ride with you and be replaced in seconds when the rain hits. Swing 3 levers and 1 clamp and it's set.
22 Badlands, 4d, soft top , Sas, Lux and Leather. Came in around $61k At this point, I have 5k plus miles and have had no problems. I have added tailgate table, front IAG mud flaps and removable steps. Installed some old school PIAAs at the windshield and some slim fogs between the bumper and grill. I think the soft top is way more versatile and flips back exposing front and back seats in about 10 seconds. Try that with a hard top. Noise, if that bothers you by a Toyota. Its an off road , ragtop, noise is part of the game. Leather was a good but expensive option. Power seats are great and definitely more comfortable than the marine grade vinyl. Lux gives you some great safety features, like the Adaptive cruise control, auto breaking and proximity warnings. Actually helps the insurance. i give it 5 stars. Ford built a great rig.
still very expensive for a SUV that will see pavement most of the time.
@@theeconomist100 True, but mine will be on the beach 8-12 times a year, and 3-4 trail rides a year as well.
ARE THEY GONNA COME OUT WITH THE OJ PACKAGE???
I see you listening to Noname 😎🔥
So the only changes are the sub and you can get a 7 speed manual with a Sasquatch package now???
Manual Sasquatch was for 2022 i believe. From digging through the spec sheets and Ford’s press release, it seems like it is the sub and the heritage editions that i explained in the beginning.
I am curious about (real life) fuel efficiency of the 2.3 + manual vs. 2.7 auto, and also about the reliability of same.
My dad actually owns the Bronco in this video, he averages 18 mpg with 2/3 highway driving! It was a little better with the 33 inch tires that came with it. My money is on the 2.3 being less problematic but maybe the 2.7 can prove itself past the initial valve problem!
They are about the same in both respects. I have 58,000 miles on the 2.7, and the biggest factor in fuel economy is tires and then exhaust.
I have the 2.7 auto and i average 18-19mpg depending on how i drive it (eco-mode) and get about 400 miles per tank..
Thank you all. Interesting. I wonder, then, what the advantage of these engines is over the standard truck 3.5 Ecoboost? I tend to have a lead foot, I drove a Ford Expedition Max cross the country in 2021, deserts, mountains, highways, cities, loaded, and got just short of 20 mpg overall.
@@mountainhobo Cost and fuel mileage probably, comparing the gas mileage that way is tricky as the Bronco is more brickish and geared differently with bigger tires than the Expedition. I'd dig into the F150 2.7l and compare that to the 3.5 to get a better idea of the difference between the two (that way there are less variables)!
I had considered getting a Bronco but was a little disappointed that the look had drifted from the ones of my childhood. Plus some of the build quality issues had knocked it off the list as a serious contender.
If there's a chance to get one of the Heritage Broncos,...well, that puts it back on the list of those to be seriously considered.
I got the 2-door in part because it looked so much like the OG. Most people I talk with (that walk right up to me in parking lots) feel the same way. Are you talking about the 80s Bronco and not the 60-70s Bronco? I do like the look of the 2-door way more than the 4-door which gives me "Ford Flex" vibes.
@@farriskhan2352 The 60s-70s is the version of my childhood. The Bronco and the International Harvester Scout are what I saw growing up. Nobody seemed to have Jeeps.
@@pauld6967 thats because the Jeeps of the era were horrible quality AMC
He’s secretly mad jacked 💪🏻 this nerd should have been a marine 🇺🇸
dont get me wrong, i have an order out, but the whole “modular bolt” thing seems kinda gimmicky. like is there anything to bolt on the grab handle mounting point (except a grab handle if your trim doesn’t include one)?
Same with the aux switches. You can do so much! The sky is the limit! You can add lights and……… more lights…
Agree the six switches are corny
Do we have a reliable naturally aspirated engine yet?
Have you heard any issues with the FordPass start function not working in the 2023s?
Yes. I spoke to Ford tech assist and they said it is a software issue and not expected to be corrected until around June. It is specific to the 2023s.
The bronco does have rear air vents they’re just under the front seats :)
Blows heat only
Which model is this?
I have the 2.7 l ecoboost in my bad lands. Bronco I have never had a problem with this engine
Been trykng to sell my Porsche for one! Haha need one!
The 5.7 in the tundra lasts forever!!
I have 260,000 on my 2012 tundra and I just bought a 2007 FJ cruiser with 239,000 miles …. these new electric combinations will never last that long
Can you do a video on the mods you’ve gotten
This is actually my dad’s personal Bronco, the next time I’m out there I may showcase them as some others have asked.
Thank you for saying Bilstein correctly. A small correction: it isn't the V6 that adds Trail Turn Assist. It's the automatic.
Did i say otherwise?
@@Realistick As I stated, you said the V6 adds Trail Turn Assist. It's the automatic that adds it.
@@christophernuckolls9964 Gotcha, I was under the impression that it was V6 only and not with the 2.3 auto. I'll check that again for next time!
Can't get the sasquatch package anymore they don't have the parts to complete those builds. Also can't get the lux package or the hard top on the four door
Wow I see your a fan of Noname 😮
Hi there, why would you stay what from the 2.7L? @10:40
Because the 2.3 has had less issues (i talked about the problems in the video). I personally value reliability very high so it’s still not a bad engine since they had the valve issues squared away (it really shouldn’t have affected too many people) but it does leave me leaning toward the 2.3 if it was my personal choice.
My speakers are garbage and I’ve got a distinct rattle in one at the back no matter what music I’m playing. The wireless pad has overheated my phone to the point of shutting itself down more than once. The hard top is noisy. But overall, I love my bronco. 😅 2022 Outerbanks w/Sasquatch. Have a 2023 Heritage on order.
My dealership put more insulation in my subwoofer compartment and it helped a little. Charged me nothing as it's under warranty.
Also, they put a new seal on the front hardtop and it too helped a little but I had some loud whistling like a flock of birds chirping. Take it in and see what they'll do under warranty.
What type of lights are those in the front bumper?

these
@@Realistick Thank you. What was the series? They give 4 options :( Blk Flood, Blk Spot, Blk w/Amber DRL and Blk/White DRL) Thanks Also, what running boards are those and did you have to remove the rock sliders to install? Sorry for all of the questions. Appreciate the help.
Just bought a ‘24 bronco and it broke down at 20 miles. It had 8 miles on it when I got it and I drove it a whole 12. Lol last ford I’ll ever purchase. I’ll be going for reliability over novelty going forward.
I just bought the driver seat at the dealership on put it in my living room
Is one reason because it looks like an International SCOUT?
OBJECTIVE!
I like the look, but as we have 2 RDXs, I don't see it in my future.
🐐
Tell me more about those amber fog lights ?
I may do a video on the modifications but they are just a simple rough country triple led fog light kit! $300. They can be drls or light up a football field, quite nice.
6 reasons why it’s impossible to get a Ford Bronco in 2023 should be the title
which one is this ? i didnt catch the trim thanks
Badlands!
What trim is this in the video? someone please let me know.
Badlands Lux w/ 35 in tires (non-Sasquatch)
Thank god the bronco is back and the die hard ford ranger
Owned a Ford ranger for 29 years.🤭 Replaced it with the F-150. No issues.
