How Does the Ford Bronco Handle Snowy Winter Conditions? We Find Out!

- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- We take the new Ford Bronco and try to get stuck in a snow bank to see how the 4WD systems perform. The new Bronco is Ford's answer to the Jeep Wrangler, but is it really better to live with every day?

Ground clearance and good tires are key here in Canada. Thats why all my vehicle's as a small lift and a bit bigger tires.
Blowup dinosaur in the back was a nice touch 😆
Can always trust you guys to give the best real world reviews.... And also that rear door, if that was mud or dirt, and not snow, the paint world be missing before too long. So I would put a little door edge strip on the edge of the door to protect the paint from scraping at the fender
I miss 4 auto in my Toyota’s. Very nice feature here in the north east. Agree with you guys
The on road Baja jump was a nice touch @4:42 lol😂😂
Yes ! Got one and it is a lot of fun and I love it BUT it is really loud . I had a Range Rover Sport before so that’s a huge change in terms of how quiet it is
Come on Steve you are exaggerating on our winter in Canada 🇨🇦 . We get six months out of twelve of Snow, the rest is very nice🤪
You just cannot get going from a stop, on an incline, and in such deep snow without really deep and spaced tire blocks. Look at the front wheels: they are already against a "wall" of snow. So that was a very hard test for any 4x4 out there without a really aggressive tire. Good thing mentioning the actual temperature. There are several types of snow, some are much more slippery than others and it much depends on the temperature. Around the freezing point is about the worst traction because the snow gets wet and slippery.
Tire size or just tread?
Good observations negative and positive. I have to use the step on my pickup.
Would also add the window and door design. Once there’s some ice on the door windows. That’s going to be hard on the window seals trying to open the doors when the window can’t move down a little bit for seal clearance.
Tall tires are good for deep snow but those wide tires are not ideal. You want skinny tires to increase surface pressure and be able to dig down though the snow and find traction.
Digging through the snow leads to being hung up on your frame
Truck King always bring the best reviews! Love the color on the Bronco!
I seen Sasquatch Edition Bronco sitting at 711 three days ago...it was the yellow model.. Good morning Truck King!!😃..Also seen a thing on internet how a bunch of these are held up... waiting for computer chips
It would be nice to see which 4x4 is the best but all need the same tire.
Last year in Utah we had a HUGE winter! But now I finally got my bronco badlands and waiting for some white stuff.... c'mon nature!
Good review truck king. I lived in Hamilton for a bit.
Thanks 😊
Snow and slush? Bronco don’t care!😄
4 Auto is great in snow country, leave it in 4 auto and leave it. I miss the 4 Full time mode when I had my 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the selec-trac 4WD. Also had the rear limited slip differential...did great in snow/ice.
I had an older 5.0 grand cherokee used, that was stuck in full four wheel drive art all times. I used to fill up on the way somewhere and way back lol and it was summer. it was awesome thou
The flaw in the rear door/fender design you pointed out is very relevant IMO. Something they should really consider fixing in the future.
It’s called mud flaps…also, like anything else with ice on your car, you have to chip it off anyways…
@@garybucci7331 agreed.....
No window frame helped dad climb in. I get it, I'm 75.
Wonderful video and off-road truck 🛻😇
Another fun video, thanks for making it.
You bet!
Take it up into the Canadian Rockies as a real test !
The one thing I found frustrating in the snow was turning of the advance track every couple of minutes. I wish if you turned it off it stayed off.
10 months of snow? You’re making Canada seem cold. On Vancouver Island we have snow 2 weeks out of the year 😜
"Id rather be in this than a ford focus."
- me watching this video in my ford focus....
Good to know it can survive a Buffalo winter
Another great review
Awesome video
Trying to open the rear doors when the fender is covered in ice is an issue for me on a 70k vehicle.
Get a 2 door :P
and don't forget about the windows that need to lower i 1/2 and inch every time you open the door.
Pretty good considering the MT goodyears aren't snowflake rated.
Brother I live in Canada as well. And I only get snow 2 months out of the year.
Sometimes we just like to amuse the viewers.
This gives me an idea. Rivian in snow tracks, possible?
Show us what it is capable of with chains on all four wheels.
Wish they would add some more rear seat recline for long trips with the kids. Have a Ford Edge and always recline the back seat for the kids to rest on late or longer trips.
I really like this ford bronco. How would this do as a hunting vehicle?
Honestly guys I have a 2022 Nissan Rogue 35K that goes through more snow than what you put this Bronco through. It’s 70k for this Bronco put it through some real snow. If I can walk through it with slippers it’s not a challenge for this truck.
One thing to consider testing is how long it takes the HVAC to warm up in the cold.
Just watch it with the cheesy tie rods !😅
The everglades suppose to be much better thru snow, mud and water
No one ever talks about mpg chug chug chug
Thnx guys. Hey Steve, the question is that whether you would go with Bronco Raptor or Ranger Raptor or F150 Raptor or F250 Tremor?
Soon there will be a Ford Escape raptor lol
I'm waiting for the Escort Raptor
Snow ten months a year?! C'mon Steve, Americans already think we live in igloos with penguins and polar bears.
Don’t we…
@@TruckKing agreed.......especially this winter........winter from hell in Manitoba.
Cool vehicle, capable, comfortable and fun but 70K!!!
Wildtrak is 70k, that's the high end model atm.
Good luck actually finding one for $70k. In reality most are over $100k us.
Nice job guys, how about average mileage throughout the week?
I am getting 16-17 mpg in mine. (Wildtrak with 35s)
@@sfshilo Thanks
can you add a snow shovel? and if so how much are they are now hard to install and uninstall?
Ten months?! WOW.
Not true
Was that a Badlands?
Is four auto the same as four low? I drive mine in Oklahoma, so I haven't had to mess with any of that yet. :)
No, 4auto is still Hi-range 4WD
isnt ford suspose to replace the roofs.
I would have to get a two door since these four door versions are so damn ugly. Seeing that door scrape on the fender flare reminded me of the windows that go down a touch to get the door open. Not sure if the Bronco has these, but they will freeze in the winter and you can't get the door open or the window regulator breaks when it tries to put the window down and it can't move. I would like to see you throw a set of chains on one of these and see if you can find anything that will stop it. I have driven a two wheel drive truck through two feet of snow with chains on it.
yes the window lowers right before you open the door. freezing weather this has to be an issue.
I'd love it if it wasn't so damn expensive
Does the defrost and heater work well in cold weather?
I like this car very,May I know the price please 🙏🙏
I'd rather have the 2 door base model, problem is you can't get the auto 4WD option in the base model, you'd think the base model would come with that and the offroad models would have the part time only 4WD system seems how they're supposedly more offroad worthy, most trucks don't offer the auto 4wd in their offroad trims either I don't think
i have a base bronco and yes it does come with 4WD it has everything the other broncos have except front and real locker - still has trail turn assist. Even base is very capable
@@stefanbrown5872 It doesn't have the auto 4WD setting in the base model is what I'm referring to. Its a great feature for those that live in snow country with continually changing road conditions.
@@wildbill23c it literally does have the 4wd setting in the base. I have one and literally just went driving in 3 feet snow trail driving. It has 2H, 4L and 4 high.
It does not have front or rear lockers, but does have 4wd and even gas trail turn assist on the base .
I’m not sure what your talking about.
@@stefanbrown5872 You are totally missing the 4WD Auto setting that is found in the higher end models. The Base DOES NOT have the 4WD auto setting is what I'm talking about.
What color is that bronco?
So… what do you think? Do you need to have the V6? Or with the 4CYL and Sasquatch package be good too?
the 4 is fine
That is pretty bad getting stuck and spinning it that little bit of snow. at the end of the video. I Lada Niva would walk right through it with the hole car in the bank, have done it many times. why can't Ford do much better than that. If your are impressed with what the Bronco goes through, you will be extremely impressed with what the Lada Niva did .
Where are you guys? North of Toronto?
yup
That thing is small u guys are shoulder to shoulder
I’m not impressed I’ll keep my 5.7 Tundra lol
Whatever cameras your using..... You need better ones... Get a newer Samsung or iPhone at least. Everything in your footage is blown out
HAHAHAHA so lame. That thing is a turd
All good points made on the Bronco. Wow, you folks really do have a lot of snow! Brrrrr.... Lol
How about showing it go through snow up the the hood, that is what we get on the island. what you show most front wheel drive cars will do, at least the ones form England and France. not to impressed with some of the jap front wheel drives. Chew through what snow, that is not deep snow, put some skinny tall tires on and should help a lot,
Great video
