    I didn't realize that trail complexity had changed a bit, back in the day "trailsoffroad" had that as a 8. Either way, 7 or 8, that's right up there with the toughest in Colorado. I think the only one harder is Carnage Canyon out on the west slope. This was a ton of fun filming with you guys, I am legit impressed with the Bronco and can't wait to test it out myself on all the trails here in Colorado. Hopefully I have one by next summer. we'll see!! GREAT VIDEO!!

So whether it's stock for stock or modified versus modified, the differences would only be seen at such extremes that only a tiny fraction of buyers will ever see them. Truth is, a modded Bronco on 37's and a modded Wrangler on 37's will do far more difficult and dangerous terrain than anyone I know has ever done. I'd say you'd almost have to try a buggy line to find the winner.

      Ford did very well with the new Bronco. I was impressed with the off-road performance of this particular model...Sasquatch with 35" tires off the assembly line. In addition, it is good to see that Ford addressed and resolved some of the nuisances of the Jeep Wrangler (exterior mirrors not mounted on the doors). I really do not get what all of the negative uproar is regarding a Solid Front Axle suspension / steering at highway speeds. I have no problem driving my Jeep Wrangler 75+ mph down the highway for 8 to 10 hours. I have never felt exhausted or tired. Sounds like whimpering complaints from city / urban guys to me.
      Although the Bronco will hold a line going 70+ mph down a highway better than the Wrangler, it is possible to greatly reduce the movement in steering with aftermarket upgrades ( PSC steering, Dynatrac ball joints, etc.). IMO, the Wrangler suspension with Dana 44 axles or Dana M210 and Dana M220 axles rides very well on pavement...so, the Bronco suspension with IFS axle offers only nominally more comfortable ride.....but, I am use to driving a Ford F350 SRW 4WD truck.
      The other drawback with the Bronco is the twin turbo to obtain HP from a small engine. Nice to have the weight reduction and extra ponies.....but definitely not at the expense of reliability, durability and longevity. I would definitely be in the market for a Bronco.....bit only IF Ford would place a place naturally aspirated "push rod" V8 under the hood. Ford would be wise to produce TWO smaller versions of the 7.3L Godzilla "push rod" V8.......a 6.5L for the F150 and a 5.7L for the Bronco.

      @@15Jeep Good (potential) idea, however, ANY time that a "tried and true" engine design is modified in pretty much ANY way, (especially making it into a different displacement version, which is basically then an entirely different engine altogether), when changing the overall engine like that, (even if the modified version is basically the same basic "design"), doing that almost ALWAYS also totally changes the long term reliability and overall "robustness" of any engine. That simple fact has been shown to be the case MANY times over, with quite a few different engines from quite a few different manufacturers over the decades...
      I guess if Ford ever DID/DOES actually do anything like that, and actually makes smaller displacement versions of that V-8 like you mention, then time would definitely tell if them doing that was a good idea... or not... I would be open to that idea too, however, one can't automatically assume that any newer, or smaller versions of that engine would be anywhere close to as good or long term reliable as the original one!

    The Bronco seems great, and I'm glad it's out there because it'll keep Jeep working hard to continue to be the benchmark.
    There's way more to the IFS/solid axle debate that you guys aren't aware of. IFS is much, MUCH more expensive and complex to lift, and in the end simply does not offer the same articulation as a comparable solid axle setup. Yes, you can have lockers to help even the playing field, but the cost and complexity is something that the average joe needs to take into account. I mean for the cost of lifting an IFS rig you can usually get a lift, wheel, and tires for a solid axle vehicle. That's a big deal to us 99-percenters.
    Second, a HUGE benefit to solid axle setups is that, when the axle is being articulated one tire is being pushed up by an obstacle while the other tire on that axle is being forced down, ONTO THE GROUND to give better traction. You can see that not happening with the Bronco throughout your video. Watch it over again. You'll see the Bronco 'flexing' the front end and the front end will slide sideways off an obstacle. That's an inherent weakness of IFS, and a big deal to those of us who are 'wheeling our hard-earned dollars. Sliding sideways off an obstacle can be catastrophic.

I really do not get what all of the negative uproar is regarding a Solid Front Axle suspension / steering at highway speeds. I have no problem driving my Jeep Wrangler 75+ mph down the highway for 8 to 10 hours. I have never felt exhausted or tired. Sounds like whimpering complaints from city / urban guys to me.
      Although the Bronco will hold a line going 70+ mph down a highway better than the Wrangler, it is possible to greatly reduce the movement in steering with aftermarket upgrades ( PSC steering, Dynatrac ball joints, etc.). IMO, the Wrangler suspension with Dana 44 axles or Dana M210 and Dana M220 axles rides very well on pavement...so, the Bronco suspension with IFS axle offers only nominally more comfortable ride.....but, I am use to driving a Ford F350 SRW 4WD truck.
      The other drawback with the Bronco is the twin turbo to obtain HP from a small engine. Nice to have the weight reduction and extra ponies.....but definitely not at the expense of reliability, durability and longevity. I would definitely be in the market for a Bronco.....but only IF Ford would place a naturally aspirated "push rod" V8 under the hood. Ford would be wise to produce TWO smaller versions of the 7.3L Godzilla "push rod" V8.......a 6.5L for the F150 and a 5.7L for the Bronco.

      @@15Jeep I agree. I love turbos, but not in this application. Off road I don't want to wait for forced induction to spool up. I need torque from idle. And yes, the reliability isn't as good when an engine is high-strung.
      In 10 years the Wrangler will still be in production, the Bronco probably won't.

      One thing that Jeep has more or less, sometimes more, sometimes less, kept in sight is ease of repair in the field if need be. More parts means more to break. I liked the old Bronco. I also think Roman's analogy of wide receiver to line backer worked well. Both vehicles did the job.

    • @1QKGLH

      @@theeddorian I have to agree with you. Since Jeep has been doing this since the '40's they intimately know what is best out there in the trail. Ford is jumping on the bandwagon (third time) to cash in. Trust me, when Jeep is releasing the 90th anniversary Wrangler, the Bronco won't be in the picture. I hope it will be, but I doubt it will be.

Roman, you are more man than probably many by just one kind gesture.👍👍🥂

    Great video guys. We really appreciate you guys doing the work and really testing these vehicles "carefully" in some very challenging scenarios. Honestly if I hadn't seen the Bronco go up that last obstacle I would not have guessed it could have done it with such confidence. Of course you had some great spotters out there as well. And yeah, Jeeps definitely win in those terrains, but Bronco HAS PROVEN that it can ride along on these same trails and still be more tame on the tarmac. We live in great times where there are such capable vehicles by both brands, along with some great crossovers for the softroad crowd. Databyter

When my Chevy friends get stuck, and then engage the 4X4 system it can be a nightmare to get it to engage. The same with the rare Dodges I have been in. The Bronco is looking good with the IFS, I am surprised.
