We drove my 2021 Bronco Badlands to the Bronco Super Celebration West in Colorado! I made sure to vlog the trip so you could see what it's like to drive the Ford Bronco such a long distance! Early on, we learned that since I have not recalibrated my odometer, the reading is 34 miles off on a single tank of gas and I was getting a little more than 13 miles to the gallon. One thing I learned that I don't like about the Bronco is the small gas tank size as it only holds 20 gallons of gas. We brought along a decibel meter to test the road noise and learned that it is not particularly louder than any other vehicle and a normal conversation can be had. Some other things we noticed as we traveled were that with the back seats folded down, it is virtually impossible to access the power outlet. I was very pleased with the amount of cargo that we were able to store in the back. I was also pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the car was for traveling a long distance! We then drove the Bronco to the top of Pikes Peak, 14,115ft above sea level. I had the pleasure of meeting a few viewers and am excited to meet more of you at the Bronco Super Celebration!

I am so glad you guys are doing this series. The information you're providing on the day to day livability of the Bronco and the capability of the Bronco on long trips are two of the things that are most important in making a long-term purchase. Also give ME that other Bronco lol.
Love this channel
wow absolutely the best Bronco video you and I believe anyone else has done so far... To give complete and specific commentary on a long trip like you did was just fabulous... Very in depth and I imagine lots of Bronco owners will appreciate the video
"Without Further Ado" count = 2 (Mitch made it through the whole thing without telling us he's 6'3"!) 😂 Way to go, Mitch!
Can't wait to see how you trick out the base model. This Bronco would look great in our garage! Thanks for all of the info in your videos.
I wanted a Bronco for a bit now. I am hoping to win or build one in a year or two! Atleast after I have some time in my new job. Your videos make me more pumped to get one. Keep the videos rolling!
Thank you, enjoy, have a safe trip
Maybe take the headrest out of the center rear seat when you are folding them flat. That looks like it'll give you more room.
I love common sense lol.
You could also plug in an ext cord or multiport to it, just dont overload it.
You must have passed right by my apartment! I live right alongside I-70 in Kansas! I would have loved to see the bronco so I'll keep an eye out for your return trip!
Glad to see you enjoying it man thanks for letting me build it
It’s good to see a road trip review. We are having twins and I always wanted to know how well the Bronco does on long trips. Thank you!
Man, thanks so much for putting up info like this, very useful! Ty Mitchell
“Particular” = 1 shot
“Specifically” = slam a beer
YOU GOT IT!! from a BRONCO LOVER
‘Without further adieu” = 2 shots.
Thanks for letting us hear the sound on the top! Every review I’ve read and video I’ve watched makes it seem like it’s the worst thing in the world. But it’s not that bad!
My local dealer got a demo, I drove it 30 miles, in city and highway, road noise was not an issue at all.
How are you not going to stop talking during the decibel reading? Lol
Right? I was like Holy Sh*t, shut up for a second already. 😂
Hard for a sales guy usually...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Great update video! Tank you.
That’s a sharp bronco, love all the mods you put on it
My husband met you at Pikes Peak this day! I unfortunately did not get the opportunity since I was busy with the kids. Thanks for all the awesome Bronco videos 😃
Pretty impressive time on a very long drive. I made a similar drive back in 85 from Ft Walton Beach to Denver in 30 hours. It just seems like driving across Texas would take forever!
I spent a full day in one at the offroadeo in Texas. I found the seats very comfortable.
Wow 1200 miles in a day! Not bad for a short guy. Thanks for sharing your experiences, at 6’3” those must be some good seats.
I have been an avid Jeep owner for a few yrs, and I am IMPRESSED with what FORD has done with the Bronco. SERIOUSLY thinking of trading my JLUR for a BADLANDS. Love your videos...Thank You from Upstate NY
when you have a BRONCO you never wish for any other truck especially if you are an outdoor type or an explorer-like me. Now it;s a truck f9r camping!!
@@xplrarav48 i ABSOLUTELY go off road after watching a video of Lite Brite going on the Rubicon trail with friends in a Bronco Badlands...SUPER EXCITED
Enjoyed the video! So cool you took it up to Pikes peak! Happy to say I got to visit a few years back and yeah the engine lag was no joke in our rental Envoy! Subscribed!! Belled up!!
Great info! Thanks for sharing.
Great info thank you
Great content and editing.
Good real world review.
Great vid man, thanks!
Feels good to shed the humidity doesn't it! Love the weather out west!
Man, your videos are great Mitchell!! Also, get that Bronco speedo recalibrated :)
Enjoyed your video and glad you had some positive vibes for the bronco. I'm planning on purchasing the Big Ben in a few months in Arkansas. Take care.
i want one of these more than anything i have a 1990 bronco eddie baurer edition i have litterally lost everything i love in my life except my bronco it has actually been my home due to covid you guys are4 amazing
I'm surprised you guys have not hit 300k yet. Like at most people I talk to about newer vehicles have seen your videos.
Love this video!
I totally agree the tanks are small for the fuel economy, especially on the two door. Hopefully the after market brings out an Aux tank option.
It’s looking good!
Sixthree- awesome video. Can't wait for the event. Thanks
Thanks for the great information, I'm getting the soft top bronco 👍
Son use to live in Dallas about a 1200 mile trip from West Virginia, I could do it in about 17.5 hours, the drive wasn’t bad but the sun in your face most of the day heading west wore me plum out.
Nice dude I've done that drive a couple of times....its a long one. You should look out for the TFL guys out there they have a yellow First Edition they've been posting about as well. Good luck and be safe on the drive back. As always thanks for the vids.
Looking good Bronco!
Try looking for some 90 deg power adapters. Might be worth stocking in the shop for customers. Also huge thank you on the mention of the turbo lag at elevation. I’m in NM at 5200 ft elevation and regularly play in the mountains at 10k feet and above.
I am planning to take my 2021 Rubicon on roughly the same trip and I definitely have serious concerns about driver fatigue. Bronco sounds like a great road trip vehicle and refreshing to drive on long trips.
Yeah….I definitely will not be getting any overly large tires. More mpg for me to cruise the beach, park, and fish.
I love these videos, but i'm starting to count how many times he says "without further ado"...lol
The soft top noise doesn’t bother me, and if I lived in Alabama or in the Southern United States, I’d be more inclined to try it, and I may opt for a full soft top during the summer. That aside, the factory soft top has a dimple in the side windows, most likely from how it operates, and I’m not a fan of that and I’m happy with my choice going OEM hard top, and having the option to use an available soft top later. ✌🏼
Very cool, we picked ours up in Midland Texas at Sewell Ford and drove it back to Grovetown Georgia
Wow. New Branco fan here. Great video
Great video more videos please
You can remove the middle headrest for more access to the outlet.
I’m in my son’s home great room right now looking at Pikes Peak. It’s as good a view from here as from the top. It would only look better if my old Camry in their driveway could morf into your new Bronco. I can dream.
Great Video
I love Pikes Peak that drive up is amazing!!!
Just did 2500 miles in our Sport, averaged 32 MPG, can’t complain.
Except it’s only a Sport.
sim so jealous wish I had mine looks like a great time
Awesome !!!!
Great video. Can you please talk more about the storage unit you have in the back? I want to buy one but I haven’t seen any video that reviews it. Thanks
Bud... I have to admit, I have a bit of Bronco envy.... Love the 37's... GiTrDone!!!
bronco love.. gotta love it 🤍🤍
Without further dew on the grass....looks like alot of fun to drive in a rural setting or around town.
Great video. Thanks. What speeds did you drive at to get that fuel economy? You should have also tested sound level at 75-80 where the majority drive at.
Subscribed!!!!!
I don't live in US, but damn that Bronco giveaway!!! PS, your white Bronco looks great.
You should stop by Boulder, CO and visit TFL Truck. They have a First Edition Bronco Sasquatch. It would be interesting to take them both on a trail to see the difference in performance. Plus, you can gain some potential subscribers.
Id hire you
@@lucasdaniel_28 Thanks haha
Cool bronco, I like it.
Bronco is my dream. Very informative video. Would love to win that full size y'all are going to customize and give away!!
Bueny and the surrounding area amongst the collegiate peaks is a beautiful area, enjoy! If you’re ever in the area again hit up patio pancakes in Salida down the road!
Good video I little change always good then just at the dealership lol
Them broncos are beautiful 😍
My dream car
Time to calibrate that tire size into the CPU. My wife finally got her VIN number last Saturday! Build date of 9/27. Maybe she will get it by Christmas!
Hey bud when did you reserve yours? Just trying to get an idea when we may get our BD. And congrats btw.
Jorge Lopez and TFL were able to get better than 19 mpg on their Sasquatch Broncos with 2.7L V6s. Jorge drove from Houston down the gulf coast in his Wildtrak and got 18.something in that direction but got over 19 mpg on the return trip. TFL drove their First Edition Bronco on a road-trip across a long stretch through Colorado and they got about 19.3 mpg. I think Jordan from Bronco Nation said they got something like 21 mpg in their 2.3L Badlands with 33" tires on their trip from Florida to the T&C facility in Alabama.
As far as the soft top goes. They say it’s not very bad in the front drivers seat but where it gets really loud is in the back seats
I'd love one if I just made more to afford one. Great content
How do you feel the mileage may be impacted if the Bronco is a manual? That is what I have on order and hoping it will be both okay in mileage and also in towing strength.
I see they added a couple of colors for the bronco, any idea when they are going to show off the Heritage edition ?
I have a 2019 Jeep JL Wrangler. With the 3.6 L and 8 speed tranny with 35's ( Hankook Dayna Pro MT2's) HWY mpg at 75 mph 26.8 , in town 23 mpg. Now I live in Montana at 6000 ft in elevation so thats what I get in my Wrangler running 87 octane.
my new car..the one you guys are giving away, of course!
Questions
1) did you need extra lift for the 37’s?
2) why remove fender flares? Looks super cool!
3) what front bumper is that??
Your rig looks sweet. Can’t wait to order my 2022!!
Yes you do need extra lift for 37’s. And the main reason to remove the fender flares is because it does look cool! The bumper is 4wheelparts
The Ford hood protector does a lot to keep the bugs off the windshield
Talking about the seats... Every base model car has that feature.. My first car ( a Kia Forte Koup) had those features.
I live in Denver we should have dinner. So you can tell me all about the bronco event.
I notice on my big bend bronco the sound system isnt that great and I was wondering if the soundbar makes a big difference?
Its cool to see the Bronco in action! The more is see/hear/read I feel like its just SO MUCH better than a Wrangler!
My question is to you can you remove the headrest in the middle and be able to access the plug a little bit more easier because I know that you can pull on most cars the headrest out
Cool. Would have liked to seen the back propped up and comments about the opening to load. What is the height? Have never seen that.
Does that front bumper work with the Lux? I like the way it looks. But nothing out right seems to work with that package.
*Badlands SAS Lux with a 10/11 build week. 🤞🏼
Nice Help/tell on tyres. it took more fuel points for a military quarter tonnes on diesel to do that type trek. off road milege was better then on road and quieter.
Sounds respectably quiet,., you’re not yelling at all… I’d have to yell in my former YJ, and be loud talking quite a bit in my 2012 JKU
Looks like a good roof rack system would be good for luggage on long trips.
How's the audio system on the roadtrip? Is that a High or Lux package? Looks great on 37s. Fun watching Shelby drive it.
high package sound system is awful...if you replace just the dash and rear 4inch speakers it makes a major difference.
Love your Bronco, love your vids, but I tell ya, I like the orig tires/wheels better than what you put on...aside from whatever they cost ya. But hey, to each his own.
You can fix the trip meter and speedo by changing the tire diameter and psi in the ECU. Eville Truck did a video on it.
Why? It's better for resale
A simple recalibration will correct the speedometer/odometer.
ordered a bronco but ended up going with a tesla instead for money and personal reasons… i LOVE the way this bronco looks and hopefully one day i’ll get my hands on one👏🏽
You should’ve waited until spring next year for the Ford lightning EV
That would’ve been like getting a Tesla and a potential off-road vehicle all in one but with a little less range
@@Man_in_a_Gucci_Suit i thought about it! that’s why i’m going to lease the tesla. in 3 years there could be so much improvement from all of these companies and i am very excited
@@NATIVEUS I don’t believe in leasing but that might work out for you if the first year or two they have problems
I got mine preordered now I’m just penny pinching until the thing actually comes out the pro version (work truck) actually looks better than the non-pro version IMO
How can you fix the differences in mpg/miles to make it accurate? Question regarding the MT tires-how is the wear on them just doing normal driving? Do they wear faster or last just as long as an All Terrain tire?
Yes you can. It just takes a programmer.
I finally got my Bronco Build date of 9/20/21 I have Sasquach package what lift kit are you running?
Are there any plans to offer a naturally aspirated motor, or lead foot paint? What about a body color top option like the wrangler
How do I enter the drawing for the Bronco. It's my dream car and would love to have a chance to win one. Also love the videos you have done on the vehicle. Just makes me want it more and more. Thanks and have a great one.
SEATS YOU WORRYING ABOUT?! YOu have no idea what it's like to own a BRONCO! Except of course if you want a BRONCO to run around town. In that case, get yourself a NISSAN ROGUE
@@xplrarav48 I only want Ford vehicles. Plus the Rouge is not even in the same class as the Bronco. So thank you for trying.
Show us the cargo area enclosure? Can you stack stuff on top of it? How much weight can it hold? With top off, is it truly secure with the doors locked? Thanks and love your videos!
Sorry! We've shown it in other videos but didn't really show it good here. You can stack stuff on top of it, and anything you keep below it is safe as long as the rear door is locked. Here is all of the information on that www.tccustoms.com/products/cargo-area-enclosure-deluxe-raised-lid-4dr-by-tuffy-dio-j2-8-2-21-vm2dz-78115a00-d-2021-ford-bronco
Does it require Premium Fuel. As my Gran Pappy called it Hi Test
What is the final roof height with the 37s
