Not really fair to compare an optioned out capable-bumper Black Diamond Sasquatch to a base Jeep. Sell the Black Diamond Bronco there at the same price as the jeep and then it's a fair comparison, and I prefer the Bronco to the Jeep every time... But this is not a fair comparison.
@USA4eva ya, for only $40k you can get a 2025 base. That's a hard pill especially when the only meaningful option is the $10k Sasquatch package. Ford is not doing themselves any favors here.
It’s so weird how ford has a hard time putting out the base model. It’s a base model so it has less features than the other trim levels, less hardware. So just by that, in theory it should be easier to make them. Personally I think it’s just a greed thing, Ford has more profit in other trim levels so that’s what they want to sell more of. Side note: it’s a shame for 2025 model year, you can’t get a two door with v6 unless you go for the “Stroppe” trim level bronco.
@ they probably don’t want to, when I bought my base 22 bronco 2 door with hard top I had to be on a waitlist for almost an entire year. They just have the option to bring in potential buyers then sell them the higher priced version.
You should have gotten and extreme recon jeep since you were comparing to a sasquatch bronco. I love both vehicles, but come on, apples to apples would be fair.
I’m so happy I bought my 2024 Bronco Badlands edition over the Jeep Wrangler. I plan on adding a 7” lift and 38” tires, KC lights, stereo upgrades and engine modifications !
For now, I am in the Jeep camp. Even though I am a long term Ford person (trades a 2011 Mustang GT), my 2020 Wrangler is a ton of fun. The culture around the Jeep crowd is unbelievable be it the whole duck thing, the Jeep wave or do the Jeep Invasion in Sevierville. I have done off-roading with my son and I like the looks of both. I agree with others who have posted that this is a bit of an apples to oranges comparison with the $8K premium price on the Bronco. Put that money into a Wrangler and see how they compare. Bronco culture and aftermarket is building but it is not where the Jeeps are today. I think that both are over-priced for what they are and there are some design elements that should be improved. The rear hatch on the soft top Bronco is a no-go for me. I like the top on my Wrangler much better. I have over 40K miles behind the wheel of my Wrangler and for the most part, no issues. I am not a fan of the 4 cylinder engines that are being used in either model. Great video, as always.
The down side to the big jeep following makes the jeep gatherings insane traffic 😂😂 if I had a jeep I would never go to the big events like In pigeon Forge but that’s me to each their own
We have both in two door hard top configuration. The 2022 Wrangler is a base model with 3.6 engine and the Bronco is a 2023 Badlands with 2.7 engine. Like them both but the Bronco rides a lot smoother on the road, but the Jeep gets a little better gas mileage. Wife drives the Jeep and I drive the Bronco. 😎
We have owned both a Jeep and the 2023 Bronco we just traded. We traded the Jeep mainly because I am 6’4” and the Jeep is very small. We waited for the 2023 for 1 1/2 years. We modified the vehicle with a lift kit and 35” tires and wheels. We loved the vehicle but had allot of problems constantly with it. Also for the amount of money they charge this vehicle should not be as noisy on the road. It also felt like the fit and finish was cheap especially when you opened and shut the doors. It was definitely a head turned in Race Red but it was constantly broken and at the dealer so we traded it.
converted from 15 years of jeep ownership to the bronco and i'm not looking back. i can go 80 down the highway (yeah that's legal close by) and not be exhausted by the time i get to my destination 5 hours later! it doesn't flex as good as my jeeps did, but it's close. but i'll take the overall comfort over the jeeps any day.
The 2024 Wrangler's steering is so much better than what you were used to. I drive 7-9 hours every summer for vacation and the 2024 did very well, no fatigue and I drive above 80 when I can. I have a lifted JK that I used to do it with and yeah it's a bear. Had a lifted JKU and it was somewhere in between. The 2024 Wrangler is also far quieter than the Bronco. I really, really wanted to love the Bronco, but I just didn't. I think my expectations were just too high.
@@pumpedupdart6859agree 💯! I’ve had many jeeps and steering on our 2024 is way better, zero issues or fatigue driving it on the highway for long trips. Recently looked at getting a Bronco to try something different just for fun, wanted to love it because I like the look of it, but the bronco just felt so much cheaper. The hardtop whistled like crazy on the highway, the driver window rattled when down a little, was waaaay louder inside than the wrangler and just felt cheaper. Bronco is cool looking but Ford definitely needs to improve the quality, if it was like this brand new, I can’t imagine what it would be like in a year or two.
@@JustinKingOffroad Yep, had an 18 also and it did as well. They have upgraded the steering box, mounts, programming etc over the years and the 2024 is a MAJOR improvement. Even the prior years with upgraded boxes and programming are much better.
I always love comparisons to Jeeps because at the end of the day it'll almost always come down to the non-Jeep is the vehicle that'll be better to the trail and the Jeep will usually be better on the trail. Dude nailed it in that 90% of drive time will be a better ride when you have independent front end. It's the nature of the beast. But once you get off-road....that solid front axle makes a world of difference IMO. I personally am a very long time Toyota guy but here recently I purchased a Gladiator Mojave. Absolutely love my truck. Loved it so much that I got my daughter a fully loaded Wrangler Sahara for her 16th birthday. There's just something about a Jeep that's hard to understand until you drive one. The fun factor, the super devoted community, and the insanely large after market for them. It makes it to where almost every Jeep ends up being unique to the owner. With that said, I do like the Bronco. I've driven a handful of them and without a doubt they are great both on and off-road. My biggest complaint with them is their chunky size and the viewing angles are kinda crap. Other than that they are a nice piece of rig.
17:02 ive been driving a manual transmission most of my life and love it. Its kinda sad nowadays that most people dont know how to drive a vehicle with a manual because if thats the only vehicle in an emergency situation, no one can drive it.
Loved my three Jeeps, but my 22 Bronco 2dr Bad-SAS Lux wins hands down. Speaking of which, I see that Advanced Fiberglass Concepts lists y'all as a dealer/installer. So, who is the best person to call and talk to about buffing up my Bronco?
I've driven both the new Bronco and a '24 Wrangler. My dad used to have a '91 Bronco, what a beast! I have a '19 F150 with the 3.5 ecoboost, and a '97 TJ (best jeep ever made) with the 2.5L. Between thd new Bronco and the Jeep, I'd take the jeep. The Pentastar V6 has been around forever, parts easily available, and for the most part, it's a decent motor. Also, the after-market for jeeps is seemingly infinite. I'm jaded with the ecoboost engines. Mine has started the infamous cam-phaser rattle. The Bronco may look cooler and ride better... But a Jeep is a Jeep 👍
I prefer the Wrangler. I'm a ford guy but I have 2 Wrangler and have had 2 others in the past. My 1st vehicle was an Eddie Baur Bronco II lifted on 31s, I loved it and I've owned 9 Fords since. I was so stoked when the new Bronco was released, but dealers ripped people off from the day they were released(I wasn't going to overpay) until FINALLY there were huge discounts during the summer. I went to buy a loaded 2 door Wildtrack last summer and when I drove it, it sucked. From when I shut the door and it rattled and the window acted like it was going to fall out, to the terrible ride, loud overrevving motor, twitchy steering and massive wind noise. It also had terrible driveline vibrations, the cabin felt tight and the ride wasn't very good either. I thought maybe a 4 door would solve the drive and ride issues, nope. Everything about it felt cheap and tinny. I was so disappointed. When my Wife got home she couldn't believe there wasn't a new Bronco in the driveway, because I had been drooling over them for so long. I bought a 2024 4 door Wrangler Willys. Jeep finally tightened up the steering in the 2024 Wranglers, I have the power top, so I push a button and all passengers get the glorious wind and sun, the new Uconnect and screen are awesome. I slapped on a set of 35s and spent a ton less money on what in my opinion is a much better vehicle. Just my 2 cents from a Ford lover with Wranglers side chicks.
Congrats, and when you go to the Off-Rodeo, when they ask, tell them Mitchell in Alabama sold you your Bronco . What respect he and the dealership has nationwide in the Bronco community. Loving my Badlands Bronco since delivery in 2021 from T & C Ford!!! oh thats right, u got the jeep from a chrysler dealer, sorry.
@@slypopsracing What are you crying about? I gave my opinion of the VEHICLES. You babble about the dealer. If they're so honest and well respected why is he comparing a base Wrangler to a higher end Bronco? He points out the plastic bumper on a base Jeep when most Broncos come standard with plastic bumpers. Lots of people prefer the option of saving money with plastic bumpers as an option on all Wranglers, because of the plethora of great aftermarket options. You sound bitter that you're stuck with a Bronco, that you probably overpaid for. I wanted a Bronco so bad and it broke my heart when I drove it. I'm a Ford guy that's been pushed to Chrysler products unfortunately. Wanted a 4 door muscle car, bought a ScatPack Charger, no Ford option, kickass car though, loved it much more than my Mustang Gt convertible, but the Mustangs are much better now and I'll have another at some point.
If we talk about overpaying the wranglers are also really pricey if you want any options btw I’m a Chevy guy so no steak in the game. And yes the bronco is also very pricey
That’s a cheesy twist on the 2024 grill. Some of the very low end wranglers kept the 23 grill, but the 24 grill on all other models is revolutionary and amazing. What a cheap way of manipulating your audience.
@@jeffpayne2675”Revolutionary”: involving or causing a complete or dramatic change. “Amazing”: causing great surprise or wonder; astonishing. Same thing? 🤡 lol.

Well here’s my opinion. I have owned 2 Jeeps, a 2011 2 door manual rag top, and a2009 4 door automatic hardtop. The manual had more power because of the gearing. In 2012 they bumped up the hp. When the new Bronco’s came out a specially the Badlands, I really liked the looks of them. So I went and took a 2 door hardtop for a test ride. I liked the pick up it had and the steering, but the wind noice was unbearable.never had that with the freedom top on the jeep. And it seemed to lurch forward from 2nd to 3rd with normal driving. The seats were comfortable but the inside just seemed cheep. Hardly any arm rest on the doors and they also felt cheep. I was very Disappointed because I really wanted one. But if you’re not Happy when you test drive, you won’t be happy down the road. Jmo
From a Ford, Ford N-series tractor to an Willies MB was an easy shift before havin a non farm lic or civ lic we had standard on mil driving miles fun stuff
Hey Jon, how’s the Black Diamond serving you so far? I’m looking for the same one as it's the only package with all-terrain tires, as I want to make it as suitable as possible for city roads and highways in Europe… Also, if you have any other thoughts regarding the set-up of Bronco for daily driving, every advice/opinion is welcome. Tnx,
Mitchell with all due respect you say your biased towards the Bronco but let's be real your biased towards the Ford brand in general because you are a Ford dealer......lol Also with taking the doors off the Jeep you make it sound likes it's such a task, you can roll the window's down on the Jeep & your arm can go through the area where the window was & carry it just fine. There's pros & cons to both, but you're taking a base model Jeep & comparing it to a Black Diamond Sasquatch Bronco. You kinda did the same thing with a Ford Ranger Raptor to a Chevy Colorado ZR2, two different types of trucks, again not a fair comparisons.
Owned both a 98TJ and an 08JK, total 425,000 miles and they were Beasts. Now own a 24 Bronco Black Diamond2.3. Jeep needs to take both forks in the road: IFS front end on street primary versions, and update the Hurricane2.0 and integrate the Hurricane6 ASAP. Also need to reduce the price on the lower end BIGLY. 4xe is a total waste. Bronco is great so far, but the soft top sucks and it rattles like crazy-main criminal is the front seat when no one is in it.
Owned both.. The 80s base Bronc II was a Colt but Dodge had that name. our Cherokee sport was an upgrade. Sold Jeeps owned many Fords Prefer them. Needed a Brush guard the way jeep turned to so much front facia plastic. Deer everywhere. Bronco New Gen beats with modular metal options Skid plate makes bambi speed bumps
Got my 21 Big Bend SASQ & 24 Gladiator for a build I’m brewing. Although apples and oranges. It’s the little things that are pros and cons in both just from daily driving the interstate to work. When I drive the glady I def miss the speed limits posted on the cluster. Glady is def less noisy too. I love my bronco tho for the way it rides. Say if bronco makes a truck with a 1700# payload. I’ll have that.
I know for a while jeep sold a 2wd jeep wrangler 4 door. Dont know if they sold a 2 door. It would be nice if ford sold a 2wd 2 door. If you just want a basic light weight cali car to drive around without those big tires and gas consumption. A lot of broncos will not see off road anyways. Is it wrong? Bring the price down to the original 28.5 k that the 2 door had.
Jeep also has a 1 touch. 10,000 dollar difference is a big difference Plus jeep has 6,000 dollars off. So the jeep you were driving would cost you 39,000. 13,000 dollar difference I own a Bronco Raptor and a Jeep Wrangler rubicon diesel engine on 37 inch tires I do agree. Bronco is better machine on a daily basis. The fit and finish is nice.
Make fun of Jeep for sticking with the iconic most recognizable grill on the planet😂 That’s kinda of what Ford did right? Built the new Bronco around the classic bronco (retro)Ford had the luxury to have the bronco absent for 25 years before they came back. I will say The Bronco looks great and the competition it created and made Jeep step up on there game. I do plan and have put the wind shield down on all my Jeeps. Jeep kept every thing that makes it a Jeep, removable doors, top, and foldable windshield. Fun Fact the classic bronco windshield used to fold down too😂. Wow super bias review but I understand your passion.
Why would you want a manual transmission in a Bronco? So my kids can’t take off in the thing. I’m going to get a manual Bronco just for the good ole days.
Jeeps are played out and they all look old and cheap. Don't get me started on all the Grown Men with Little Rubber Ducks on there dash. Bronco looks like what a new redesigned modern jeep should look like. Jeeps are also not very reliable. If you want a jeep to do some serious off road save the dough and get a nice SxS. There a lot more fun offroad anyways.
Should have had a non Sasquatch equipped bronco! Would have beena much better comparison! I would have loved if all the broncos not equipped with an electronic locking differential come with a limited slip differential!! But I understand why Ford will never do that! Its all about money they make more if you add all that from the factory versus selling the base model with just the basics! Even though the wrangler has less creature comforts then the bronco of get the wrangler, it's cheaper to buy! Easier to upgrade and to can easily add a limited slip differential. On the bronco you can not do that! As for me as much as I am a Ford guy, is her the wrangler over the bronco!!! The reason is simple lower price39900 for a wrangler 4 door sport, versus 48000 for a 4door bronco big bend with just the magic options ( both includea hard top!) I do not see myself spending an extra 10000 dollars on a base model bronco when I can use that extra money and buy a wrangler at a lower price and save the money! But I know every one has to live in the lap of luxury and will have to have the nearest and most expensive toys! I do wish Ford would stop increasing the prices if there new vehicles ever year! They way I look at it give them about 5 years and a base Model bronco will be starting at 58000 and a base model f150 will be starting at 65000- 70000 and they will call that affordable!
The down side to the 2025 I have a 2022 black diamond 2 door now to have an off road 2 door it’s base with carpet 🤮or all the way to a badlands 💵 so that’s not reachable for lots of us 41k for mine all the way to 53 or so

There's pros & cons to both, but you're taking a base model Jeep & comparing it to a Black Diamond Sasquatch Bronco. You kinda did the same thing with a Ford Ranger Raptor to a Chevy Colorado ZR2, two different types of trucks, again not a fair comparisons.
Owned both a 98TJ and an 08JK, total 425,000 miles and they were Beasts. Now own a 24 Bronco Black Diamond2.3. Jeep needs to take both forks in the road: IFS front end on street primary versions, and update the Hurricane2.0 and integrate the Hurricane6 ASAP. Also need to reduce the price on the lower end BIGLY. 4xe is a total waste. Bronco is great so far, but the soft top sucks and it rattles like crazy-main criminal is the front seat when no one is in it.
Wait a second, I'm half way through this video and I still don't know how tall you are 😂
Owned both.. The 80s base Bronc II was a Colt but Dodge had that name. our Cherokee sport was an upgrade. Sold Jeeps owned many Fords Prefer them. Needed a Brush guard the way jeep turned to so much front facia plastic. Deer everywhere. Bronco New Gen beats with modular metal options Skid plate makes bambi speed bumps
Got my 21 Big Bend SASQ & 24 Gladiator for a build I’m brewing. Although apples and oranges. It’s the little things that are pros and cons in both just from daily driving the interstate to work. When I drive the glady I def miss the speed limits posted on the cluster. Glady is def less noisy too. I love my bronco tho for the way it rides. Say if bronco makes a truck with a 1700# payload. I’ll have that.
I know for a while jeep sold a 2wd jeep wrangler 4 door. Dont know if they sold a 2 door. It would be nice if ford sold a 2wd 2 door. If you just want a basic light weight cali car to drive around without those big tires and gas consumption. A lot of broncos will not see off road anyways. Is it wrong? Bring the price down to the original 28.5 k that the 2 door had.
5:06 rode shotgun during a Jeep death wobble. Never again…
Jeep also has a 1 touch.
10,000 dollar difference is a big difference
Plus jeep has 6,000 dollars off. So the jeep you were driving would cost you 39,000.
13,000 dollar difference
I own a Bronco Raptor and a Jeep Wrangler rubicon diesel engine on 37 inch tires
I do agree. Bronco is better machine on a daily basis. The fit and finish is nice.
Do they make Bronco hard top in black color?
12:30 it wont atart with a dead battery because fuel rail pressure 😂
annnnd the jeep fender flares are now faded! lol🤣
Make fun of Jeep for sticking with the iconic most recognizable grill on the planet😂 That’s kinda of what Ford did right? Built the new Bronco around the classic bronco (retro)Ford had the luxury to have the bronco absent for 25 years before they came back. I will say The Bronco looks great and the competition it created and made Jeep step up on there game. I do plan and have put the wind shield down on all my Jeeps. Jeep kept every thing that makes it a Jeep, removable doors, top, and foldable windshield. Fun Fact the classic bronco windshield used to fold down too😂. Wow super bias review but I understand your passion.
Why would you want a manual transmission in a Bronco? So my kids can’t take off in the thing. I’m going to get a manual Bronco just for the good ole days.
Until Ford fixes the delaminating hard tops....
Bronco needs a pickup
Jeeps are played out and they all look old and cheap. Don't get me started on all the Grown Men with Little Rubber Ducks on there dash. Bronco looks like what a new redesigned modern jeep should look like. Jeeps are also not very reliable. If you want a jeep to do some serious off road save the dough and get a nice SxS. There a lot more fun offroad anyways.
I’m honestly impressed the most with how open you are to hyping up the competition. Really feels unbiased. Good job

Should have had a non Sasquatch equipped bronco! Would have beena much better comparison!
I would have loved if all the broncos not equipped with an electronic locking differential come with a limited slip differential!!
But I understand why Ford will never do that! Its all about money they make more if you add all that from the factory versus selling the base model with just the basics! Even though the wrangler has less creature comforts then the bronco of get the wrangler, it's cheaper to buy! Easier to upgrade and to can easily add a limited slip differential. On the bronco you can not do that!
As for me as much as I am a Ford guy, is her the wrangler over the bronco!!! The reason is simple lower price39900 for a wrangler 4 door sport, versus 48000 for a 4door bronco big bend with just the magic options ( both includea hard top!) I do not see myself spending an extra 10000 dollars on a base model bronco when I can use that extra money and buy a wrangler at a lower price and save the money! But I know every one has to live in the lap of luxury and will have to have the nearest and most expensive toys! I do wish Ford would stop increasing the prices if there new vehicles ever year! They way I look at it give them about 5 years and a base Model bronco will be starting at 58000 and a base model f150 will be starting at 65000- 70000 and they will call that affordable!
Unfortunately we didnt have a base (Big Bend) at the time of the video so we went a trim up.
The down side to the 2025 I have a 2022 black diamond 2 door now to have an off road 2 door it’s base with carpet 🤮or all the way to a badlands 💵 so that’s not reachable for lots of us 41k for mine all the way to 53 or so
You should have compared a 2024 model Jeep, not a 2023. And of course a more similar model. If you can't find one then don't make a video.
And did you notice the interior shots were from a 24 Jeep, not a 23? Very biased and tricked sales ad for the Bronco.
@@philroberts4231 Yes I did and I agree with you about the sales ad.
JUNK VS. TRASH. 1970S THEY WERE COOL AND FUN. NOW OVERPRICED GARBAGE TRUCKS. NO THANKS.
Bias much
😅😂 I like what you said about a blow torch or a saw😂
