Finally, a review that covers what I need to know. Too many customers take a gamble on purchasing a vehicle for a daily driver, this video saves us money.
Depending on how much you drive mpg's can make a huge difference for a daily driver. I'm debating getting a Bronco and keeping my GTI as a daily driver.
They should madenit so you don't have to open the trunk completely all the way just to open the top glass part, the mirror should have the memory tech setting too if the seats do it, I test drove one it rides so nice, it's roomy, cuts good, easy to park, and the side step is fine that they come with, plus they have pull handles too to get in. The interior you should be able to get all black and not the grey and black in the front
Short answer. My bronco is best daily driver I’ve driven in long time. Comfy, fast, and lots of fun to drive. Sure I get 14.5 mpg but it’s all good. Worth it all the way.
Agree if the don’t like the sound or the air if they don’t like the height of the car if they don’t like the back door go for the girly scape a sedan or something like that
I just bought a 2024 2 dr Heritage which has the sasquatch option. Have to say Ford has upped their game the build quality is really good on mine. I was really surprised as mine is very quiet in the cabin even at 70 MPH so I really don't know what people expect but if you want a super quiet car buy a sedan and not something that you can take the roof off. I'm 5' 10" not the easiest vehicle to get in but it is a truck and don't find it all that hard. Super happy with mine now is a great time to buy as I got a really great deal on mine.
I've had my Bronco for 3 weeks now. I ordered my side step/rock slider as soon as I got my delivery date. I'm 5'7" and 190 lbs. I haven't had one problem getting in and out. I am using the Bronco as a daily driver and the only one drivingit. I have the Big Bend. Audio system just needed a underseat bass unit. I payed MRP. But your right. A lot of attention, but very comfortable. Road noise, I jam pretty loud so what road noise. Lol, keep it up and don't compare a blue collar vehicle to high end SUVs. 😄
While I love my pickup, I've always maybe daily missed my 95 Bronc that I had to give to a friend after getting the pickup because he wanted it so badly. He still drives it and it kills me. Best vehicle I've ever owned. I need NO bells and whistles, call me old school. I was never an off roader but carrying a dirtbike on the bumper, searching raw parcels of land to build a home and driving 100miles round trip for work in which failure was not an option (medical - operating room), that truck gave ultimate security and confidence. I off-paved a lot let's say. Got me through all manner of road flooding and snow/ice storms including being plowed in. It was just a basic package too. At 66 in NYC those days are likely over but I'm now shopping for a new one. If it makes me feel good being in one even using 10% of it's capabilities, that's all the justification I need. Anyway, still have 2 of my Yamahas and the hitch carrier...never say never 😉
Good point about the windshield. I've been an auto glass technician for 14 years and you are 100% correct. The main windshields I do are either Wranglers, FJs and now the new Broncos. Almost one every day. Great video guys! My fiance and I are renting one of these for our honeymoon to Colorado for a week. Good to know what I'm in for!
I don't mind the lack of cooled seats, but I live in Texas and have two kids. The lack of rear air to me is a huge miss. I know there's a vent under the front seats but I had to believe there's room to plumb out some plastic tubing to get some air to the rear of that console. Honestly that is probably the biggest issue for me. Try putting three 12 yr old boys in your vehicle in August after a noon football game in 105 degree heat. The one up front (usually my son because... he's my son) will be nice and cool but his two best friends in the back will be roasting. I love the looks of the new Bronco and that color is perfect... I had an '86 when I lived in Utah for a few years in the mid 90s and it was just perfect for anything I threw at it. And yes I know rear air wasn't around back then, but I didn't have kids and I was usually way up in the mountains where it was nice and cool in the summer or having fun in the snow. I imagine they'll fix that... at least I hope, because I'd probably buy one asap if that was available. It is in the Bronco Sport but it's way too small. Come on Ford!
Absolutely LOVE this video! A “Daily Driver” video was exactly what I was in search for and this covered my current questions. I own a Tahoe and was debating on the Bronco. My only concern was the wind noise you discussed so I’m looking forward to a test drive. I’ll be sure to subscribe and thanks again 💙
I don't think the height of the vehicle should be a negative. The higher it is, the better,,,,, if you're using this for off-roading what the vehicle was made for. Very beautiful color and valid points throughout the video. Great review.
That’s how it is with my jeep gladiator. Every single day someone is commenting and asking how she drives. Currently waiting on my build. My bronco will be my “weekend”/road-trip vehicle. The gladiator is my daily driver. Not saving anything in gas for sure but excited to experience the drive. Can’t wait for summers with top off and tube doors.
I know you guys posted this last December but I still find it relevant. I've watched several of your videos and I find them quite practical and "no nonsense." Love your honesty. I'm ordering my 2023 Outer Banks on August 15, 2022 (fingers crossed) but I've had a chance to test drive 3 different models. One was a soft top so I know what you mean when it comes to not seeing anything out of your rearview mirror with the top down. I did find in a solution because I've used it in my 2021 Ram Rebel (which is now for sale...lol). It's a Rearview Mirror Dashcam. It straps onto your existing rearview mirror and the camera is placed somewhere in the back (in or out although I prefer inside the cab). I don't have to worry about who's head or what stuff is blocking my view. Love it. Once again, thanks for your reviews on these bad boys!
I've been wanting a bronco since they announced them but thought I could never afford it. Ordered my 2022 Big Bend last night. So pumped. Great review!!
I have a Wildtrak and you are correct about the dive and the lift offs. It drives soo smooth and can pick up when needed. I drive it to work and take it off road when needed. It’s the versatility for me. Great video and I have now been able to take the doors off yet due to rain but the tops are easy to remove. The back requires two people but we are looking at purchasing a hoist to put until the garage.
Great video. I have a OBX for being a daily driver. I’m not pretending to be a hard core off roader like I see so much. Most people will be on road most of the time. All the add ons for off roading mostly end up being for show for many people. The stock OBX can handle tough off too. . As far as resale too you don’t get your value out of add ons and can lose value. Stock appeals better to a majority.
I just sold my Bronco for these exact reasons. At 5’2 (and 51 yrs ild) that useless grabhandle and hoisting myself in and out and the very vertical engine bay kisssing my shin (its a manual) AND the terrible sound system made it just a ridiculous choice as a daily driver. I have reordered but with very different specs. I couldn’t have known these things as a day 2 reservation holder.
Very well said about more refinement on the Bronco. The small difference in offroad that for many is 5% of the time or less gets blown away by the amazing on road manners. This Bronco is a gentleman or one fine lady
On point number 2...my wife has a Badlands sport (I have Big Bend Bronco on order) and I've never driven a car that has gotten so many looks on the road, when parking etc. And compliments too. Everyone thinks its a cool car.
My Jeep is on 2.5 lift and 35" tires. I always grab handle with my left hand and lift myself in. I would imagine you could do that same with the dash grab handle.
My 2015 JK has a 4" lift with 37s. I just use the grab handle and hop in. I am only 5'-8" and no problem. I wanted a more aggressive look so no sidesteps for me.
Have a soft top and if you don't lift straight up you will definitely scratch the rollbar, however do it correctly no issues. Absolutely love my Bronco
Just for clarification, tire sizes are, 30, 31, 33, and then 34.5 for SAS. 33s only come on badlands. SAS just looks like a way bigger tire because of the width. Great information video guys and thanks.
I love my 2021 Outer Banks. It reminds me when driving of my 73 and 75 I had back in the day. Ford did a great job of making the hood with the fins very similar to the classic. kudos for that! Mine is a daily driver and love it.
I had my son order one for me before he left Italy to retire from the Navy. He bought a '22 4 Door, completely decked out. I ordered a '22 2 Door, not quite as loaded, but did get the Lux package. Apparently, the 2 door versions assembly was moved from Michigan down to Ohio, which caused some back log. My son's arrived in April this year ... I just picked mine up the day before hurricane Ian tried to mow us down. Matters not ... we are both satisfied thus far. I am contemplating dragging mine behind my RV if possible. It's a fun driving truck! I should add ... all that technology is wasted on me ... I'm 68 and do some hunting and fishing. Doubt I'll ever do any rock climbing in mine.
Had my 2022 4Dr Hardtop for 7 months now. Absolutely no complaints! Had to get some wife steps and the obligatory push bar with lights, but other than that, no mods. Heading out into the Sacramento mountains tomorrow. Snow and high will be 3 degrees. No worries. OBTW, pit bull approved, too!
Great no non sense video. What also hit me hard is that it doesn’t have auto fold side mirror option. This is a fairly wide vehicle, and I really think that option would come handy, especially when you’re in a tight urban setting.
I believe, looking at Ford's website, there are bags that store the doors AND the front roof. It seems like a massive oversight that the middle roof doesn't split into 2 halves as well and come off.
Great video! And you are right about the Starbucks drive-thru's, they are brutal...I have had my full size Bronco OBX with all the bells and whistles and couldn't be happier, it's my daily driver but gives me the options to have fun on wknds, I love it as well as the cool factor, I had an '88 so I'm glad to have another Bronco again 😊
I've watched maybe 150 Bronco videos in preparation for the delivery of my 2022 Outer Banks. You've provided the most 'watchable' and informative videos as the Outer Banks was my choice.. The 12" screen would have been nice - but that High Option Package is pricey..
We bought one new. We loved it at first, even took it on a long trip to the outer banks and took it on the beach (2 miles on sand and it lost 1/4 tank). After a while it got kinda annoying. RPM is 2300 when driving 70 mph and the wind noise is loud. All parts are pretty cheap on it and I don't see this thing lasting very long. We are trading it in today on a Mazda CX-50.
Good luck with the new CX-50. We recently traded in my '15 canyon for a CX-5 and it's been a great car so far. Much more quiet and efficient than my old truck. Maybe not as cool as a truck or a bronco, but it works very well for our family.
Good Video Gents. Took delivery on 12/4 of a non-squatch 4 door Badlands 2.7/Mid-pack/tow-pack. Love it! I’ve kept my mechanically sound 2010 Escape XLT V6 as my true “daily driver”… FINISHER
I owned a Land Rover Discovery II many years ago, and I constantly went through windshields. And those had electric defrost in it so it was really expensive
22:58 -- That power-port and mounting-point on the top of the dashboard is *perfect* for a dash-cam. Definitely should not daily-drive anything without a dash-cam. I plan to mount my dash-cam there when I get my Bronco. I ordered an Outer Banks trim-level with the Sasquatch package and the Lux package last Saturday (March 5, 2022). My dealer was offering MSRP for all orders, and said that M.Y. 2022 orders were ending on Monday, March 7, 2022, so I went ahead and took the plunge. I have no idea how long it's gonna take -- I hope I'll have it by September so I can do some Autumn 4-wheeling in the north Georgia mountains where I live. And that inability to store the roof *and* the doors in the back is why I got the soft-top. I daily-drove a Mustang convertible for years -- I'd bet that the soft-top on the Bronco is of the same quality as that Mustang's top was.
The best video, I was afraid the Sasquatch package would make driving difficult on an every day basis, but I see that it is not the case. Thanks for the help, I will go for it.
I rented one of these through Turo for a weekend and it had the soft top and man, that thing is poorly designed. You can lift it up about 8" but there is no way to support it so its just in the way when trying to get gear in and out of the rear of the Bronco. I also can't believe Ford let these go to customers with the saggy plastic windows on the soft top versions. It had the Sasquatch package and it averaged about 16.5mpg with the base 2.3l four cylinder engine. Road noise and wind noise was definitely more noticeable but not too bad.
@@BackroadDriver I'm not aware of that disrespect, even though I personally prefer Dunkin' anyway, but Starbucks began a commitment back in 2013 to hire veterans and have continued that commitment every year. Being a veteran in a family of veterans, I appreciate that. I just like the taste of Dunkin' better. And doughnuts ;-)
@@justaguy6100 they’ve refused service to police and fire, and marines that were Iraq vets. Now they are trying to hire vets to make up for their wrong. As a veteran myself I won’t be forgetting that woke bullcrap they e tried to push. Only weirdos go there anyways our police and fire haven’t been there since 2013 or so. You should hear our local fire dept and what they have to say about them.
@Silent but Deadly Show me where that's happened. I've never heard that before. Please don't tell me your source is a post on Facebook. One of my serviceman sons has a friend who had a rough time of it in Afghanistan. We took him in and the first place he was able to get work and start standing on his own two feet was a Starbucks here. I admire that very much. He went on to take a job with the DOT, has his own apartment, a steady girlfriend now for the past 3 years... and the foundation of that was the time he spent working at, with the support of his coworkers, at Starbucks. So, you're going to have to show me where they have, as a company, refused service to military or other first responders, my friend. i won't defend that behavior, but I have to have a more concrete reason to believe it's happened than some random person on the internet said so.
I have a 23 4 door i daily i have 28000 miles and i love it. I have 3 kids one still in a car seat and we are perfectly comfortable. The biggest misconception is people think it drives like its a jeep. It does not. Its incredibly smooth. I have 4 inches of lift and mts and its quiet and smooth.
You can get in with you holding the handle of the vehicle first, then stepping with your left foot and pull, you’ll be up in the air, then you put your right foot in and you’re in.
Your comment about someone watching from the future aged very well. 😂 And NO, the market isn't better. Thanks for the video guys. 👍 Very explanatory, helpful and detailed.
Finisher. & cool factor is definitely a THING in the Bronco. I have driven “luxury” cars and never got this many compliments. Do the bags for the doors/tops come w/that model or did you purchase those somewhere else?
Finisher. This made me realize where I should not put the extra money because there’s some things that I have now on my current f150 that I would not necessarily need on a Bronco. Lots of good insight. Thanks for the video.
Hey guys, thank you so much for this video but I’d say something about the noise, mmmm I’ve been driving this beast for a daily drive forever and actually i love it and as you guys said this car is for people who like adventures
I like mine a lot but obviously its a brick so as soon as you go over 65 mph, forget about getting even 15 mpg. The 2.7 is really powerful so you can't get everything
1 reason I look forward to buying the Bronco….. independent front suspension. My 2011 Wrangler had a death wobble. I will never get another solid axel front end.
Great video guys. Seems like THE BEST videos you do involve the Bronco. Agree Memory Seats are the biggest swing and miss. Otherwise pretty much a perfect blend of usable and tough. But at the price point, memory seats are a swing and a miss by Ford. I also love the ventilation seats, but kind of understand that more so than the lack of memory.
1 note...the base sound system...it's bad if you adjust the base to max and then play it loud. For over 10 volume base should be at factory preset or 75% max. Otherwise it makes a plastic rattle sound. The base is strong but rattles unless aforementioned is performed. Now, I use to build my own sound systems in the Fast and Furious car show Era and can say the base sound system is okay for any "normal" music listening scenarios. For heavy base a subwoofer could be added. I have a soft top and 6 months of the year don't see much out of that wiperless back plastic anyways so sound bar addition would be fine.
Great video. Not really a ford Bronco fan. But the way you laid it out it kept me interested right to the end. Going to subscribe and see what else you got.
Finisher...And I love that Bronco and I'm probably gonna get one before summer. Years ago I had that Jeep Wrangler Sahara series and I absolutely loved it but my question to you is...I want this baby but I am truly never ever gonna go off-roading or mudding or anything like that. I never went in my Jeep and I'm not going in the Bronco...I just love the look of it. But I do want it to, I guess, look the part. Does Bronco have a package that looks like a great off-roader but not really made for off-roading? Ya know like save all that extra money off-roaders are gonna spend to get them out of trouble because I'm not really going to need it in downtown Atlanta...Just wondering.
You can buy a base, big bend, black diamond, or outer banks and just add the Sasquatch Package and you will look awesome and not have spent the extra money for some of the expensive off road features. Sasquatch package is an off road upgrade but it makes the Bronco look tough.
This is a month old so, you probably already know but, others may read the comments. The Bronco Sport is like a Ford Escape. So that is built on a car frame. Those cost less. The regular Bronco is basically a pickup. The Sport will cost less for the same package. So, the Bronco Sport Outer Banks will cost less than the Bronco Outer Banks.
You made a comment that bronco has independent suspension at all 4 corners around 14 minute mark in video! Last I checked there was a solid rear axel !
17. Con: No Rain Sensing Wipers 18. Con: Adaptive Cruise tech is old. Same as my 2018 F150. My 2020 F150 has Stop and Go. My 2021 F150 has Speed Control. Why doesn't it new tech? 19. Con: No Power Folding Mirrors 20. Under powered. Needs the Raptors 3.5tt, at least. 21. No interior motion sensing alarm. For a vehicle that you can take the doors and roof off? Great review guys!! I'm a new subscriber now. 🇺🇸
Must say, beyond finisher, really enjoyed the review. Someday in the far far future, I may finally receive my Wildtrack, it will be mostly a daily driver. I am also a SUBSCRIBER now
Great review guys - Bronco looks very cool like that blue also. The only thing for me, that steering wheel is kinda fugly and with that hump for the bag is just- yea not good. lol Anyway can't wait untill i pull the trigger!
Great video guys also great info on the new Bronco. IMO it comes down to who likes Fords and who likes Jeep wranglers...I had a 77 Ford bronco with SFA and with 40 inch tires ..sold it for $15 thousand dollars..had lot fun with it off roading + rock crawling. Bought a new Jeep wrangler cause of its SFA and it doesn't wobble as the old wranglers when hitting bumps or potholes. Agree on IFS is a better ride but not really as good off roading as SFA . There's quite a few Bronco videos by owners went off roading and have broken tie rod ends and CV boots ripped and one video from lite brite had a new Bronco with a steering rack let go. Hopefully after market will beef up the new bronco front end but I do admit old Broncos holds their value. Wish Ford had put SFA on the new Broncos. Again great video guys
Love the video, the aspects that you guys covered wel as the type of information most are looking to gain insight. I had the opportunity to sit in new Bronco with the Sasquatch package and one must be ready to step up to make entry… Can’t wait until I can get an opportunity to test drive one…
The first thing that came to mind when you say "good daily driver" is compared to what exactly? If you're comparing to solid front axle Jeeps then yeah, no contest. If you're comparing it to a Lexus SUV, then well, you're not really that concerned about the off road capability are you? The G Wagen well... if you can afford it, and *then* not care about actually taking it on the trail, sure go for it. But you can buy three NOICE Broncos for the price of a nice G Wagen. Are you buying a "lifestyle" vehicle or actually intend to get up in the mountains or hit the desert or whatever? To me the Bronco hits a really good sweet spot between trail ability and livability.
Finally, a review that covers what I need to know. Too many customers take a gamble on purchasing a vehicle for a daily driver, this video saves us money.
Glad you found us Mark!
Depending on how much you drive mpg's can make a huge difference for a daily driver. I'm debating getting a Bronco and keeping my GTI as a daily driver.
They should madenit so you don't have to open the trunk completely all the way just to open the top glass part, the mirror should have the memory tech setting too if the seats do it, I test drove one it rides so nice, it's roomy, cuts good, easy to park, and the side step is fine that they come with, plus they have pull handles too to get in.

@@johnmick9457- that’s the one I’m looking at. 2.3L and mid package. How much under msrp did you get? Thx!
@@michelleballinger5247 mine listed for 57 500 with rebates and discounts it was 55K out the door. Mine has the 2.7 v6 signature lighting tow package.

Good point about the windshield. I've been an auto glass technician for 14 years and you are 100% correct. The main windshields I do are either Wranglers, FJs and now the new Broncos. Almost one every day. Great video guys! My fiance and I are renting one of these for our honeymoon to Colorado for a week. Good to know what I'm in for!
If the windshield gets a chip cant you pay and stop it from spreading.
Ending 2023 and yet the Best and most practical video on bronco.
Keep it up fellas
I don't mind the lack of cooled seats, but I live in Texas and have two kids. The lack of rear air to me is a huge miss. I know there's a vent under the front seats but I had to believe there's room to plumb out some plastic tubing to get some air to the rear of that console. Honestly that is probably the biggest issue for me. Try putting three 12 yr old boys in your vehicle in August after a noon football game in 105 degree heat. The one up front (usually my son because... he's my son) will be nice and cool but his two best friends in the back will be roasting. I love the looks of the new Bronco and that color is perfect...

My hard top is good. There are some more noise than my explorer st but frankly it’s not enough to lose sleep over. It’s a fun vehicle to drive.
Yesss Shelby!!! Have you test driven one yet?
@@javabean252 A lot of wind noise reduction is through aerodynamics and well that doesn't describe the Bronco.
I don't think the height of the vehicle should be a negative. The higher it is, the better,,,,, if you're using this for off-roading what the vehicle was made for. Very beautiful color and valid points throughout the video. Great review.

Solid rear axle. Independent front suspensions boys. Good point on the windshield replacement. Cheers

Thanks Caitlyn!
Just got my bronco, exactly the same!! Big smile on my face! I'll be watching your mods!!
Thanks Donny!
Finisher. First review I've watched from you guys and I'll definitely be back. I appreciate the real world review you guys provide.
Probably one of the best reviews I’ve watched in a long time. Thank you
This is the best DD driver video I have seen. Thanks for putting it together. My Bronco is great for daily driving.
I have a Wildtrak and you are correct about the dive and the lift offs. It drives soo smooth and can pick up when needed. I drive it to work and take it off road when needed. It’s the versatility for me. Great video and I have now been able to take the doors off yet due to rain but the tops are easy to remove.

Congrats on the Wildtrack! Those are hard to come by!
My Wildtrak should be here in a month or so, glad to see that actual owners love it!
Always enjoyable to watch two brothers playing with their trucks. Awesome that you get to do this with your brother!
It never gets old Karl!
Bro you grab the outside handle with your left hand when getting in.
Great overview. The best I have seen. I get my Bronco in 30 days, 4 Door Wildtrak w Sasquatch and this review was perfect.
Congrats on your Wildtrak!
Great video. I have a OBX for being a daily driver. I’m not pretending to be a hard core off roader like I see so much. Most people will be on road most of the time.

A lot of complaints they have are related to it having the Sasquatch package. Unless you plan on doing rock crawling you probably don't want it.
I ordered an obx as well !
“Finisher” . Thank you for your very detailed review. Much appreciated.
I never comment on videos, but damn good job of being in-depth and descriptive gentlemen!
Thanks Koral!
“Finisher” following directions! Thanks for all the information needed to consider in my next purchase
I just sold my Bronco for these exact reasons. At 5’2 (and 51 yrs ild) that useless grabhandle and hoisting myself in and out and the very vertical engine bay kisssing my shin (its a manual) AND the terrible sound system made it just a ridiculous choice as a daily driver. I have reordered but with very different specs. I couldn’t have known these things as a day 2 reservation holder.
Very well said about more refinement on the Bronco. The small difference in offroad that for many is 5% of the time or less gets blown away by the amazing on road manners. This Bronco is a gentleman or one fine lady
Amen!
I would never daily a Wrangler. For me the alternative is the 4runner or a crew cab midsize pickup
On point number 2...my wife has a Badlands sport (I have Big Bend Bronco on order) and I've never driven a car that has gotten so many looks on the road, when parking etc. And compliments too. Everyone thinks its a cool car.
finisher, boys watched all the way through, great content and you guys are enjoyable
Thanks Alex!
My Jeep is on 2.5 lift and 35" tires. I always grab handle with my left hand and lift myself in. I would imagine you could do that same with the dash grab handle.
I think if we move the seat back before exiting then we can do that when getting back in. Thanks for watching! What year is your Jeep?
My 2015 JK has a 4" lift with 37s. I just use the grab handle and hop in. I am only 5'-8" and no problem. I wanted a more aggressive look so no sidesteps for me.
Have a soft top and if you don't lift straight up you will definitely scratch the rollbar, however do it correctly no issues. Absolutely love my Bronco
Just for clarification, tire sizes are, 30, 31, 33, and then 34.5 for SAS. 33s only come on badlands. SAS just looks like a way bigger tire because of the width. Great information video guys and thanks.
Thanks Brian!
I love my 2021 Outer Banks. It reminds me when driving of my 73 and 75 I had back in the day. Ford did a great job of making the hood with the fins very similar to the classic. kudos for that! Mine is a daily driver and love it.
Finisher! Thanks for the daily driver feedback guys, much appreciated! Keep up the good work.
Thanks Mike!
I had my son order one for me before he left Italy to retire from the Navy. He bought a '22 4 Door, completely decked out. I ordered a '22 2 Door, not quite as loaded, but did get the Lux package. Apparently, the 2 door versions assembly was moved from Michigan down to Ohio, which caused some back log. My son's arrived in April this year ... I just picked mine up the day before hurricane Ian tried to mow us down. Matters not ... we are both satisfied thus far. I am contemplating dragging mine behind my RV if possible. It's a fun driving truck! I should add ... all that technology is wasted on me ... I'm 68 and do some hunting and fishing. Doubt I'll ever do any rock climbing in mine.
Had my 2022 4Dr Hardtop for 7 months now. Absolutely no complaints! Had to get some wife steps and the obligatory push bar with lights, but other than that, no mods. Heading out into the Sacramento mountains tomorrow. Snow and high will be 3 degrees. No worries. OBTW, pit bull approved, too!
Finisher!! BECAUSE it's a great video... fun, factual and great delivery!
Finisher. Thank you so much for a great set of reviews on the bronco. im sold
I ordered my 2 door a few months ago . It’s hard to find reviews on a 2 door. I ordered the Sasquatch with the luxury package 😍😍😍
Great no non sense video. What also hit me hard is that it doesn’t have auto fold side mirror option. This is a fairly wide vehicle, and I really think that option would come handy, especially when you’re in a tight urban setting.
I think it's perfect. Too many amenities are not always good. Cannot wait till I get one
As always gentlemen, great review. I can always count on y’all to review a vehicle in a way most of us can relate to. Thank you!
We appreciate that!
I believe, looking at Ford's website, there are bags that store the doors AND the front roof. It seems like a massive oversight that the middle roof doesn't split into 2 halves as well and come off.
You are correct!
Great video! And you are right about the Starbucks drive-thru's, they are brutal...I have had my full size Bronco OBX with all the bells and whistles and couldn't be happier, it's my daily driver but gives me the options to have fun on wknds, I love it as well as the cool factor, I had an '88 so I'm glad to have another Bronco again 😊
I've watched maybe 150 Bronco videos in preparation for the delivery of my 2022 Outer Banks. You've provided the most 'watchable' and informative videos as the Outer Banks was my choice.. The 12" screen would have been nice - but that High Option Package is pricey..
We bought one new. We loved it at first, even took it on a long trip to the outer banks and took it on the beach (2 miles on sand and it lost 1/4 tank). After a while it got kinda annoying. RPM is 2300 when driving 70 mph and the wind noise is loud. All parts are pretty cheap on it and I don't see this thing lasting very long. We are trading it in today on a Mazda CX-50.
Good luck with the new CX-50. We recently traded in my '15 canyon for a CX-5 and it's been a great car so far. Much more quiet and efficient than my old truck. Maybe not as cool as a truck or a bronco, but it works very well for our family.
“We got the Ojay, I mean OG “
LmaoOoO
Great video guys!!!
Good Video Gents. Took delivery on 12/4 of a non-squatch 4 door Badlands
2.7/Mid-pack/tow-pack. Love it! I’ve kept my mechanically sound 2010 Escape XLT V6 as my true “daily driver”… FINISHER
I owned a Land Rover Discovery II many years ago, and I constantly went through windshields. And those had electric defrost in it so it was really expensive
I bet! I had a Discovery about a year ago and the windshield was huge and had defrost in it. I bet that dude cost a fortune to replace.
Fj cruisers notorious for that too
I own a Bronco and you hit it spot on. Great Review!!!
22:58 -- That power-port and mounting-point on the top of the dashboard is *perfect* for a dash-cam. Definitely should not daily-drive anything without a dash-cam. I plan to mount my dash-cam there when I get my Bronco.
I ordered an Outer Banks trim-level with the Sasquatch package and the Lux package last Saturday (March 5, 2022). My dealer was offering MSRP for all orders, and said that M.Y. 2022 orders were ending on Monday, March 7, 2022, so I went ahead and took the plunge. I have no idea how long it's gonna take -- I hope I'll have it by September so I can do some Autumn 4-wheeling in the north Georgia mountains where I live.
And that inability to store the roof *and* the doors in the back is why I got the soft-top. I daily-drove a Mustang convertible for years -- I'd bet that the soft-top on the Bronco is of the same quality as that Mustang's top was.
Autumn in N. GA is pretty epic!
Finisher - GREAT video! Waiting for my Everglades in Eruption Green.
Finisher. Most of this information I didn’t see in the last 25 bronco reviews I watched!
We like to party.
Much needed video as 1 day the Bronco will b my daily driver and it will most likely have the Sasquatch package.
The best video, I was afraid the Sasquatch package would make driving difficult on an every day basis, but I see that it is not the case. Thanks for the help, I will go for it.
We are installing the Rock Slide steps today and tomorrow and hope to have the video out Wednesday. They are a game changer!
The Raptor Bronco is awesome
Finisher! Can’t wait to receive my Black Diamond with the steelies. Great job guys! 👍🏼
Hope your wait isn’t too much longer. Thanks for finishing Mark!
I rented one of these through Turo for a weekend and it had the soft top and man, that thing is poorly designed. You can lift it up about 8" but there is no way to support it so its just in the way when trying to get gear in and out of the rear of the Bronco. I also can't believe Ford let these go to customers with the saggy plastic windows on the soft top versions. It had the Sasquatch package and it averaged about 16.5mpg with the base 2.3l four cylinder engine. Road noise and wind noise was definitely more noticeable but not too bad.
Dunkin guy here, Starbucks showed disrespect to veterans and first responders, wouldn’t go if it was free 😂 awesome video guys 🤙🏽🇺🇸
Amen to 4 Bucks being nuts.
@@BackroadDriver I'm not aware of that disrespect, even though I personally prefer Dunkin' anyway, but Starbucks began a commitment back in 2013 to hire veterans and have continued that commitment every year. Being a veteran in a family of veterans, I appreciate that. I just like the taste of Dunkin' better. And doughnuts ;-)
Huh?
@@justaguy6100 they’ve refused service to police and fire, and marines that were Iraq vets. Now they are trying to hire vets to make up for their wrong. As a veteran myself I won’t be forgetting that woke bullcrap they e tried to push. Only weirdos go there anyways our police and fire haven’t been there since 2013 or so. You should hear our local fire dept and what they have to say about them.
@Silent but Deadly Show me where that's happened. I've never heard that before. Please don't tell me your source is a post on Facebook.
One of my serviceman sons has a friend who had a rough time of it in Afghanistan. We took him in and the first place he was able to get work and start standing on his own two feet was a Starbucks here. I admire that very much. He went on to take a job with the DOT, has his own apartment, a steady girlfriend now for the past 3 years... and the foundation of that was the time he spent working at, with the support of his coworkers, at Starbucks. So, you're going to have to show me where they have, as a company, refused service to military or other first responders, my friend. i won't defend that behavior, but I have to have a more concrete reason to believe it's happened than some random person on the internet said so.
I have a 23 4 door i daily i have 28000 miles and i love it. I have 3 kids one still in a car seat and we are perfectly comfortable. The biggest misconception is people think it drives like its a jeep. It does not. Its incredibly smooth. I have 4 inches of lift and mts and its quiet and smooth.
You can get in with you holding the handle of the vehicle first, then stepping with your left foot and pull, you’ll be up in the air, then you put your right foot in and you’re in.
Your comment about someone watching from the future aged very well. 😂 And NO, the market isn't better. Thanks for the video guys. 👍 Very explanatory, helpful and detailed.
I just got my new Wildtrak….love it!!! The only thing I wish they had considered was power mirrors. I really like how mod friendly this vehicle is.
Finisher. & cool factor is definitely a THING in the Bronco. I have driven “luxury” cars and never got this many compliments. Do the bags for the doors/tops come w/that model or did you purchase those somewhere else?
@A Kimm... You have to order the door and top bags through Ford (accessories). My door and top bags were ordered when I placed the order for my Bronco
I think the First Edition comes with them. I don’t think we had them added on our order.
Finisher. This made me realize where I should not put the extra money because there’s some things that I have now on my current f150 that I would not necessarily need on a Bronco. Lots of good insight. Thanks for the video.
Hey guys, thank you so much for this video but I’d say something about the noise, mmmm I’ve been driving this beast for a daily drive forever and actually i love it and as you guys said this car is for people who like adventures
Finisher. Not sure why I'm commenting this, but yes, I'm watching to the end.
Thanks man!
Just making a comment to help the brothers. Like the straight talk, great video
Thanks Adam!
I like mine a lot but obviously its a brick so as soon as you go over 65 mph, forget about getting even 15 mpg. The 2.7 is really powerful so you can't get everything
1 reason I look forward to buying the Bronco….. independent front suspension. My 2011 Wrangler had a death wobble. I will never get another solid axel front end.
Great video. I ordered a Big Bend edition several months ago and it will be delivered in 3 days! Thanks for the information.
Congrats Neil!
Great video guys. Seems like THE BEST videos you do involve the Bronco. Agree Memory Seats are the biggest swing and miss. Otherwise pretty much a perfect blend of usable and tough. But at the price point, memory seats are a swing and a miss by Ford. I also love the ventilation seats, but kind of understand that more so than the lack of memory.
You are dead on.
I’m looking to get ppf on mine before I start taking doors on and off. It’s just unfortunate that’s it’s a costly process.
Amen to that!
1 note...the base sound system...it's bad if you adjust the base to max and then play it loud. For over 10 volume base should be at factory preset or 75% max. Otherwise it makes a plastic rattle sound. The base is strong but rattles unless aforementioned is performed. Now, I use to build my own sound systems in the Fast and Furious car show Era and can say the base sound system is okay for any "normal" music listening scenarios. For heavy base a subwoofer could be added. I have a soft top and 6 months of the year don't see much out of that wiperless back plastic anyways so sound bar addition would be fine.
Great video. Not really a ford Bronco fan. But the way you laid it out it kept me interested right to the end. Going to subscribe and see what else you got.
Thanks James!
I’ve had my wrangler jl two years now and I love it but I’m now trying to get a bronco 😂
Good luck! It’s a jungle out there!
Have a Bronco ordered since March, can't wait to get it so I can love and hate on it!!!
Finisher, Great job on this video. Very well done! Love the Blue!
Thanks Stephen!
I think you fellas nailed it. Nice job.
Thanks man! Another big video with this Bronco goes live tomorrow night!
Thanks for the great content, guys. You talked me off the ledge here...Always good to step back and see what it would actually be like as a dd.
Finisher fellas. Great work!
Honestly my one big gripe is the placement of that handle, should be on the a pillar
Finisher...And I love that Bronco and I'm probably gonna get one before summer. Years ago I had that Jeep Wrangler Sahara series and I absolutely loved it but my question to you is...I want this baby but I am truly never ever gonna go off-roading or mudding or anything like that. I never went in my Jeep and I'm not going in the Bronco...I just love the look of it. But I do want it to, I guess, look the part. Does Bronco have a package that looks like a great off-roader but not really made for off-roading? Ya know like save all that extra money off-roaders are gonna spend to get them out of trouble because I'm not really going to need it in downtown Atlanta...Just wondering.
You can buy a base, big bend, black diamond, or outer banks and just add the Sasquatch Package and you will look awesome and not have spent the extra money for some of the expensive off road features. Sasquatch package is an off road upgrade but it makes the Bronco look tough.
Agreed. I love the look, but the only off roading I’ll do is go to the beach!
This is a month old so, you probably already know but, others may read the comments.
The Bronco Sport is like a Ford Escape. So that is built on a car frame. Those cost less.
The regular Bronco is basically a pickup.
The Sport will cost less for the same package. So, the Bronco Sport Outer Banks will cost less than the Bronco Outer Banks.
Finisher. Another bad ass video. I cannot wait to get mine! I ordered my Wildtrak 4 door a couple months ago MSRP! I love the blue you guys have.
Finisher. Had people follow me to parking areas to ask about it. I get more 👍 thumbs up than I do when driving the Shelby
Dang right!
You made a comment that bronco has independent suspension at all 4 corners around 14 minute mark in video!
Last I checked there was a solid rear axel !
Yep. Our mistake.
17. Con: No Rain Sensing Wipers
18. Con: Adaptive Cruise tech is old. Same as my 2018 F150. My 2020 F150 has Stop and Go. My 2021 F150 has Speed Control. Why doesn't it new tech?
19. Con: No Power Folding Mirrors
20. Under powered. Needs the Raptors 3.5tt, at least.
21. No interior motion sensing alarm. For a vehicle that you can take the doors and roof off?
Great review guys!!
I'm a new subscriber now.
🇺🇸
Thanks Rich!
Finisher, great video y’all. My neighbor just got a white bronco and I could tell the trim package from across the street due to y’all’s reviews.
Thanks Doug!
Finisher. Great video guys. I have one on order and just hoping to see it at some point this year.
I liked hearing your two different opinions at the end. Thank you for the review
Thanks Jake!
Congratulations on 21k🎉. Nice video on the Bronco👍
Thanks Peter!
Must say, beyond finisher, really enjoyed the review. Someday in the far far future, I may finally receive my Wildtrack, it will be mostly a daily driver. I am also a SUBSCRIBER now
Thanks Mark! Our next Bronco video is gonna be pretty freakin sweet!
Great video with useful and honest insight.
Great review guys - Bronco looks very cool like that blue also. The only thing for me, that steering wheel is kinda fugly and with that hump for the bag is just- yea not good. lol Anyway can't wait untill i pull the trigger!
Great video guys also great info on the new Bronco.
IMO it comes down to who likes Fords and who likes Jeep wranglers...I had a 77 Ford bronco with SFA and with 40 inch tires ..sold it for $15 thousand dollars..had lot fun with it off roading + rock crawling. Bought a new Jeep wrangler cause of its SFA and it doesn't wobble as the old wranglers when hitting bumps or potholes.
Agree on IFS is a better ride but not really as good off roading as SFA .
There's quite a few Bronco videos by owners went off roading and have broken tie rod ends and CV boots ripped and one video from lite brite had a new Bronco with a steering rack let go.
Hopefully after market will beef up the new bronco front end but I do admit old Broncos holds their value.
Wish Ford had put SFA on the new Broncos.
Again great video guys
Thanks for watching Angelo! We filmed an off road video today and this thing was a champ
@@BackroadDriver looking forward of watching your off roading video 👍
Mud, water, rocks!
Love the video, the aspects that you guys covered wel as the type of information most are looking to gain insight. I had the opportunity to sit in new Bronco with the Sasquatch package and one must be ready to step up to make entry… Can’t wait until I can get an opportunity to test drive one…
FINISHER! Love the Bronco, waiting on mine patiently.
I bet you lost your patients long ago. It will be worth it. What line do you have coming?
@@BackroadDriver two door Badlands with Sasquatch package in manual.
The first thing that came to mind when you say "good daily driver" is compared to what exactly? If you're comparing to solid front axle Jeeps then yeah, no contest. If you're comparing it to a Lexus SUV, then well, you're not really that concerned about the off road capability are you? The G Wagen well... if you can afford it, and *then* not care about actually taking it on the trail, sure go for it. But you can buy three NOICE Broncos for the price of a nice G Wagen. Are you buying a "lifestyle" vehicle or actually intend to get up in the mountains or hit the desert or whatever? To me the Bronco hits a really good sweet spot between trail ability and livability.
Finisher , first time listener . Good video
Thanks John!
Current wrangler owner in South Carolina possibly looking to convert to a bronco . I appreciate the detail and hard work going into this video
