@Dmetsys lol. This transmission has been stellar since it came out in 17'. A few issues during the first year, but overall it has been golden. Gm has the exact transmission in their vehicles. It was a joint venture between the two companies. Ford and Gm has this transmission in many, many different vehicles.
It looks great, both it and Wrangler are perfect. Chevy and GM missed an opportunity with that front wheel drive thing they call Blazer. Well done Ford.
Ford: Lets bring back the bronco. Its a big hit. Jeep: Lets bring back the Gladiator. Its a big hit. Chevy: Lets bring back the Blazer but make it a front wheel drive CUV. Everyone: 😩
Just remember you can get the base bronco with the Sasquatch package, which would make it much cheaper to get all the good off road stuff on the Bronco. On the Jeep you need a Rubicon model.
@@megamike00712 I just checked the Ford Configurator the base bronco the sasquatch package adds front and rear electronic locking diffs, but looks like no disconnecting sway bar. Total MSRP $38K
Stephen, I finally saw one on the road yesterday. Good for Ford for making a relatively inexpensive, base, 2 door model and manual Broncos to go along with high end versions like this one.
I’m waiting for someone to go off road and get into a off camber situation and rip one of those off. Wonder what it will do to the cowl. There is a reason the mirrors came off with the doors off on Jeep’s.
While I have seen some people complaining about all the off road tech being added taking the fun out of off-roading, they don't consider the fact that you don't HAVE to use it all. That and as far as I'm concerned, it it making off-roading way more accessable to folks that otherwise wouldn't have done it and will feed more money into the off road companies that make the accessories for the "hard core off-roaders".
Great review Stephen; I’ve been dying waiting for you and your dad’s take on the new Bronco, especially the Badlands with Sasquatch! Your reviews are always excellent!👍
I saw a Bronco that looked just like this one on the 401 on Thursday. I'm looking forward to you guys getting a Bronco back at Ironwood to run your typical trails.
Stephen your closing thought really hits the nail on the head. Rather than bashing Ford or bashing Jeep, we should be thankful that competition is giving us CHOICES in the hardcore off-road segment. Imagine if the Wrangler didn’t exist, we’d only have the Bronco Sport!
I was dead set on a wrangler/gladiator until my dad self chimed in and now I want a bronco for family safety. Funny when I used to have a gladiator I wasn’t worried.
Great video! Don’t forget the GOAT modes that make off-roading more accessible to inexperienced people by letting the driver match the terrain, and the system handles the rest (or you can put it in intelligent if you’re not sure of the terrain). Cheers!

As a Gladiator owner, I still can’t wait to see these Broncos on the road everywhere. It’s a damn good looking vehicle…and all that torque from the 2.7L sheesh
@@ratkicker007 I’ve got the 3.6L Pentastar with the auto transmission and 4.10 gearing. I’m running 33inch Falken Wildpeaks.

I really have zero complaints about the engine’s power. I only wish that I had the V8 sound haha. Overall I absolutely love the truck. I’ll likely have it for a very very long time.

Just got a test drive in the very same Bronco sans the hardtop. It was quiet, roomy, and comfortable. Head room was far better than my JKU. The bummer is the 18 month order time. If they were available NOW I'd have one! It is one cool looking rig especially with the sasquatch package.

Great video guys…the absolute best example of “Trail Turn Assist” I have seen! You are the only ones who did it correctly…you at least a bit, accelerated into the turn! Most are not aggressive enough and the system only partially locks! Congrats! 🎉👍🐴🐴🥌

Wheel articulation will never be as good as jeep solid axles, but I saw a video recenty of a bronco 4 dr with 37's run the Rubicon along with some Jeeps, it did darn well. Made it thru anything the jeeps did. So it seems a viable 4x4 for sure.

The bronco should not be compared to the wrangler, two different vehicles. Compare the bronco to the discovery. The wrangler is an old design, 70 years, its not comparable.
I second that, although honestly we will hard pressed to find anyone that wouldn't want the sasquatch package. It should hold up nice with only a rear locking differential though.
Ford is having a lot of problems with the new Bronco. I CANCELED my order... Its probably best to wait at least 2 years for Ford to work out all of the bugs... Or, you should have a good second car, as these Broncos will be back at the dealership a lot.
Thanks for the review. Not bad for only having 4 hours to do it. I'm waiting for someone to put it through a hard test. Most reviews fall short, mainly because it isn't their Bronco. I'm waiting for my Bronco to be built. It's a Badlands with Sasquatch, 2.7L Power Plant, Lux package, and Towing. That’s priced at $57,865. Everything you can get except Leather-Trimmed, power seats for $2200, and the Hard Top for $700, which would make it $60,765 US... Sorry, Canada.
Interesting mpg. My 19’ f150 2.7 would average around 12L stock and my 20’ Jeep Gladiator with 2.5” lift and 35” tires is currently sitting at 12.4 on stock 3.73’s 8 speed. I also live at 2500ft with hills all around me, not a flat road in sight. 13.8 is about what my trd pro tacoma 6 speed manual got on stock good years, so the bronco on 35’s aint shabby
Love the content guys, so keep it up. Also love the Broncos so much so that in about a year I will be ordering myself one from Ford. Hopefully you have a lot more Bronco content in the near future. You guys be safe
Something to keep in mind is that price isn’t what some dealers are going to let it go for. Some dealers are marking up similar models upwards of 100,000$ due to demand and limited stock. So try not to let them get away with that people!
I compared the articulation of TTB front end on my Bronco II, with the IFS on the new Bronco. The modified TTB on the B2 articulates more in extreme situations, to the point where I needed limiting straps. And the ride is still decent on washboard compared to the live axel in the Jeep. The one thing I don't like about the TTB, is how low the pumpkins sits. Great video guys, but for the cost in CDN dollars, I'm glad I live in the states. If it weren't for Biden, it would be even better. :)
When you guys accelerated, keep in mind the road was wet, and with traction control (if it was left on) it would automatically let off the power when it feels any kind of traction loss which could feel like lag. Not 100% sure that was it, it does have turbo chargers, but given the turbo chargers are small the lag shouldn't be that noticeable.
17:00 Ouch Canadian or not that’s a lot of money. (About 59k ish here in US) I’ve already seen a couple 392 wranglers going for 74k US price 🤦♂️ (at a dealer that’s not marking it up to insanity) So probably when the bronco warthog/raptor comes out it’ll probably msrp in the mid 70’s (USD) But like you said a fully loaded Rubicon cost about the same as this bronco you showed us. But the wrangler comes standard with death wobble 😉
I was at the track with my motorcycle that day. I saw you guys driving offroad near the straight. I was flying by and was like wtf! That's a Ford Bronco!
@@TruckKing CTMP is certainly one of the more dangerous tracks in our local area due to the very high average speed. A few major crashes that week with major consequences.
I love my 2019 JLUR. But damn, you cannot complain much about this Bronco. The on-road driving seems to be the edge over, as they are right, you always have to have that extra degree of caution every time you hit the highway with a wrangler. But that COST omg. My JLUR start was 65k. I bought a heavily modded dealership project with lift, improved suspension, larger tires and more, and it cost me 77k. That cost for the loaded Badlands Sasquatch package kills it ouch. The Rubis can always handle more off road. But 99% of owners will never take them that far (I do), and the Bronco, aside from the wheel lifts, will do all of that. Some other content creators have already done the Rubicon Trail with the Badlands version they modded to have 37s. Still, competition is good. And with this Ford, it looks GREAT actually.
Turbo lag is offset by expensive and heavy electric assist systems in super cars....maybe some future tech will address that turbo lag lighter and cheaper , but ALL turbo's have it, even if you use two stages and multiple turbo's like this thing does.
Jeep is special to some it still has a solid front axle the bronco doesn't and whether Ford says it or not you can't beat the articulation of a solid front axle Ford even had to lie about it 😂
@@dor1tomcswagger69 I could care less about that as long as it’s fun and a decent off roader. If that’s super important to you then that’s fine, but calling the Bronco bad because it’s not the exact same system just makes Jeep fans look childish
@@dor1tomcswagger69 If you watch Lite Brite...the pretty blond made a great point...with a live axle, the 🎃 pumpkin is in the line of fire. With IFS, more clearance. So, both have pros and cons.
@@mikefoehr235 yes they do my point to buddy up there is as long as the jeep has solid axles they will be special due to the competition having ifs setups it's different and a lot of ppl prefer solid axles over ifs and vice versa
Being a large, heavy, IFS vehicle, how did they manage to get such low payload numbers? Effectively, with no towing, you can get four people and their backpacks in there and that's it. If you tow the max, you can put 2.5 people in there with no additional cargo. So it seems that you could maybe road trip 2 people and their cargo in this version. It also makes it virtually impossible to use as an 'overlanding' vehicle, with rear kitchen/draw setups and rooftop tent/rack/awning, secondary power and all the rest. I've no skin in the game as these will likely never make it to OZ, but very curious how this happens?
I think it’s precisely because they are large, heavy and have an IFS that their payloads are so low (along with primary focus for off-roading). Very similar to the figures for Wrangler Rubicon Unlimiteds, Ford Raptors or even something like a solid axle Ram Power Wagon.
First time watching you guys and I appreciate how both of you bounce off of one another. Really good insights from both of you and I think that comes from how experienced you are. Happy to be a new subscriber!
@@TruckKing Ford, Willys, and Bantam all made versions and collaborated. The front end of the Jeep today started out as the Ford version called the Pygmy.
I'd rather have the 2 door Bronco, and the base model. I really don't do anything offroad enough to need all the Sasquatch stuff. My 88 Bronco 2 takes me everywhere I would want to go and it doesn't have lockers, a lift, or oversized offroad tires, so the base model new Bronco would work for me...and I'm sure at some point you'll be able to get an aftermarket rear limited slip or locker for a hell of a lot cheaper than having to buy a $5k+ package of other nonsense stuff just to get lockers.
Love your content boys one of the best off road test channels on UA-cam. As a local dude from Kitchener i love seeing more local youtubers blowing up. And as a heavy truck mechanic i feel like i may be missing out lol.
Every bronco video ever.. if it’s not the title it’s the comments, sizing up to Jeep. Jeep continues to be in the mouths and comments of everyone in and out of off-road. Why? Because it holds the bar up. It is the king; of course you want to compare things to the best of the best
Gosh...I'm depressed now: I'm stuck with a Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. :-( Regardless, I'll "Keep Calm and Carry On" anyway... ;-) Seriously though, I needed more towing-capacity so neither the Wrangler or Bronco would do...it had to be a mid-size TRUCK instead (but, a serious 4x4/off-road capable truck, not garden-variety trucks like the Ranger, Canyon, Colorado (non-ZR2), etc). -- BR
@@firebir11 you mentioned control arms and knuckles, which I know they do on the knuckles. It’s one of the things they changed on the gladiator when they made the Mojave model

@@joesimpleton7227 i didnt start wheeling ina 65k rig lol like 90% of the community I started in a 5k rig thats the difference
Hey there Mr. Haircut ;)
Really disappointed there is no rear vents in the back and also no drip rails on the hard top.
Bronco needs to make a Samsquanch Trailer Park Edition for Canada 🇨🇦
The price tag is ridiculous on all these “off road” rigs.
Ricky would like that
Turbo lag is offset by expensive and heavy electric assist systems in super cars....maybe some future tech will address that turbo lag lighter and cheaper , but ALL turbo's have it, even if you use two stages and multiple turbo's like this thing does.
My wrangler 2.0 turbo has an etorque system. No lag
it makes some crazy sounds
i noticed that a majority off road vehicles come with goodyear tires, i have never seen a michelin off road tire
So many salty Jeep owners mad that their Wrangler isn’t special anymore
Jeep is special to some it still has a solid front axle the bronco doesn't and whether Ford says it or not you can't beat the articulation of a solid front axle Ford even had to lie about it 😂
@@dor1tomcswagger69 I could care less about that as long as it’s fun and a decent off roader. If that’s super important to you then that’s fine, but calling the Bronco bad because it’s not the exact same system just makes Jeep fans look childish
@@4477superman who said the bronco is bad 🤷
@@dor1tomcswagger69 If you watch Lite Brite...the pretty blond made a great point...with a live axle, the 🎃 pumpkin is in the line of fire. With IFS, more clearance. So, both have pros and cons.
@@mikefoehr235 yes they do my point to buddy up there is as long as the jeep has solid axles they will be special due to the competition having ifs setups it's different and a lot of ppl prefer solid axles over ifs and vice versa
Being a large, heavy, IFS vehicle, how did they manage to get such low payload numbers? Effectively, with no towing, you can get four people and their backpacks in there and that's it. If you tow the max, you can put 2.5 people in there with no additional cargo. So it seems that you could maybe road trip 2 people and their cargo in this version. It also makes it virtually impossible to use as an 'overlanding' vehicle, with rear kitchen/draw setups and rooftop tent/rack/awning, secondary power and all the rest. I've no skin in the game as these will likely never make it to OZ, but very curious how this happens?
I think it’s precisely because they are large, heavy and have an IFS that their payloads are so low (along with primary focus for off-roading). Very similar to the figures for Wrangler Rubicon Unlimiteds, Ford Raptors or even something like a solid axle Ram Power Wagon.
The payload number is different from the towing number. I think you are conflating the two
@@HarryKuloh sounds like they explicitly called out payload, I didn’t interpret any differently either.
You need to get the one without the Sasquatch package. The springs cannot handle the weight on the off road versions.
Fuel economy is not bad! I daily a 6.2 Raptor and it’s sitting at 20L/100km
Can’t wait to see you test this at home…
Those horsepower and torque numbers are on premium. If you use standard you get 10 less of each approximately.
First time watching you guys and I appreciate how both of you bounce off of one another. Really good insights from both of you and I think that comes from how experienced you are. Happy to be a new subscriber!
Welcome and thanks.
I wish they would have a small V8 which would last for years after that v6 is gone.
Man, those front license plates sure make cars look ugly! * used this 🤙🏻 as Bronco wave!
Hollycow, that is a jumble of hoses and wires under the hood.
That payload won't be enough for 4 men with golf clubs.
the german made removable hard tops have delaminating issues from rain and humidity.
Nice review Mr. I wish I can afford one
Now this was a good video.
"Should Jeep be Worried?"
No.
Ford built the jeep back in world War ll 1941-1945 and gave it the epic grille.
It was actually designed by Bantam motors - Ford build them under license.
@@TruckKing Ford, Willys, and Bantam all made versions and collaborated. The front end of the Jeep today started out as the Ford version called the Pygmy.
I'd rather have the 2 door Bronco, and the base model. I really don't do anything offroad enough to need all the Sasquatch stuff. My 88 Bronco 2 takes me everywhere I would want to go and it doesn't have lockers, a lift, or oversized offroad tires, so the base model new Bronco would work for me...and I'm sure at some point you'll be able to get an aftermarket rear limited slip or locker for a hell of a lot cheaper than having to buy a $5k+ package of other nonsense stuff just to get lockers.
driving down a wooded area then you hit a tree with the arm of a mirror...... windshield shatters!!! just you wait and see.
like that bronco yee-haw
Would’ve been perfect if the rear seats were reclinable
Love your content boys one of the best off road test channels on UA-cam. As a local dude from Kitchener i love seeing more local youtubers blowing up. And as a heavy truck mechanic i feel like i may be missing out lol.
Thanks 👍
@@TruckKing anytime! Keep up the great content!
I think I just watched a Ford ad?
Every bronco video ever.. if it’s not the title it’s the comments, sizing up to Jeep. Jeep continues to be in the mouths and comments of everyone in and out of off-road. Why? Because it holds the bar up. It is the king; of course you want to compare things to the best of the best
Gosh...I'm depressed now: I'm stuck with a Jeep Gladiator Rubicon. :-(
Regardless, I'll "Keep Calm and Carry On" anyway... ;-)
Seriously though, I needed more towing-capacity so neither the Wrangler or Bronco would do...it had to be a mid-size TRUCK instead (but, a serious 4x4/off-road capable truck, not garden-variety trucks like the Ranger, Canyon, Colorado (non-ZR2), etc).

Question-Do you want side curtain airbags if you are rock crawling for instance and roll over?
Probably not... that’s an instant totaling of the vehicle
i love the pack of 3(2?) it just shows the true power of these vehicles
Don’t think I trust those aluminum lower control arms and knuckles. Snap like a twig if you slam them into a rock.
They held up pretty well on the Raptor and TRX. And they can never rust. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@smarticus6384 Raptor and TRX aren’t rock crawlers
@@firebir11 Doesn’t Jeep use aluminum on the Rubicon? Aluminum is fine depending on what grade it is
@@4477superman on their axles? No
@@firebir11 you mentioned control arms and knuckles, which I know they do on the knuckles. It’s one of the things they changed on the gladiator when they made the Mojave model
I can't believe this goes for $74,000 😂 I will not buy a bronco I'd rather buy something else tbh we thought bringing in the bronco would lower the competitions prices but that's not the case they both raise their prices 🤦🤷
But it rides harsher than 4Runner. But I’ll take my bronco and resale after using it for a few months
How about the bronco fist bump. You can call it the bronco bump
