I think Roman is playing it up and having fun, but he’s not wrong! Ford is throwing down the gauntlet so to speak. Plus some of us aren’t naive FCA fan boys and just happy to see a competitor.
I def think that Ford is taking shots HARD here.
I'm actually big into cars, especially luxury cars, but I grew up on Bronco's, my brother owned like 3, my dad owned like 5. I love them, so just seeing a 2 door SUV beyond the Jeep is amazing, and especially seeing its the Bronco and how well its done, that's more amazing. I absolutely hated the SUV craze that's been picking up lately, I never really wanted to buy an SUV in the first place, Especially a more rough-type one, but this thing calls to my heart. Finally we're seeing some cool shit come out of this SUV craze. It only took half a decade.
I think that the jeep at this point looks outdated compared to the Bronco too.
FCA is taking such a long time to update their products. I think dodge is really carrying them at this rate, and its only because people don't mind trading some creature comforts for a big body muscle car.
FCA Also is known for their terrible quality. I mean fiat is in a shit storm, its dead, Chrysler is dead, Dodge is barely getting updates, Jeep is outdated too.
I mean just compare the Jeep wranglers interior to the Bronco. It feels like a different league. I mean the jeep still has those circular air vents and plastic-y buttons, reminds me of a 2006 PT cruiser or Dodge Neon. It looks distinctively FCA and not in a good way, it calls back to the days of piss poor quality in American vehicles.
Anyways, ill stop ranting, I'm excited for the competition, finally these companies are doing something better than just making crossovers.
Violent I actually couldn’t agree more. I was so excited for the new Corvette and excited for many other sports cars but never thought I’d be excited for an Off-road vehicle for come out where I literally watched the debut. The Jeep has its charms but any many ways that’s it’s weakness. The Bronco looks innovative and comes with creature comforts but still seems like a pure off road vehicle.
Yass as a wrangler owner I'm excited af
Violet Ford is definitely more reliable, but I would absolutely despise it if the Jeeps iconic exterior was changed. Personally, I find the Jeep to be a much more attractive vehicle than the Bronco. I will say the bronco does have a pretty sick front grill tho. But the Jeeps grill is a staple so it isn’t changing. Apart from that I do like both interiors, but it would be nice if FCA would up their quality from those stupidly cheap plastic buttons.
But jeep came in and blew up the gate keeper so the Rubicon could make it through, also a Baja bug on I believe 31s is the only 2wd to make it through, done before the gate keeper was blown up
I own a Jeep. I love seeing a real 4x4 Bronco coming back into the market. Everyone will win from this.
Yeah you re waaay fat how do you get in your rubucin?
I'd rather have the 2020 Toyota 4 runner 4x4 than the new bronco, Toyotas are bullet proof
Jesse Montano No
Jesse Montano here we go again
@@jessemontano601 well, there you have it. There's a vehicle for you. Announcing it was unnecessary, but to your thing.
"Where is the commercial then?"
Dude... you ARE the commercial. That's how you know marketing did its job correctly... lol...
Absolutely correct! It is akin to reading the billboard that says "do billboards work, just did".
Also takes months to prep a actual commercial for a big brand like Ford
Nothing wrong with Ford competing against Jeep. It improves the vehicles and the buyers win.
I love Jeep but you have to admit wranglers can get very expensive. The competition may help in this regard.
@@alchabeta3237 the wrangler is so expensive because the G class starts at $125,000. I hope youre right, but if anything it will justify to ford to charge more not less.
The issue I see here is that Jeep doesn't build a 4x4 to do the same stuff as the Bronco. what they build a build is a platform for the modding community to have fun with. Jeep has been around for so long that they have the monopoly on aftermarket mods and this is where Jeep will stand its ground. Ford may have a solid vehicle here, but all mods for the bronco so far are made by ford, meaning that they can ramp the prices up to whatever they want. meanwhile, Jeep leaves all modding options to the community which creates competition, driving the prices down for aftermarket Jeep parts.
@@Papanza295 that’s because the vehicles are brand new. The 3rd party aftermarket guys haven’t been able to get them to make a product yet, but they will.
There’s a very healthy aftermarket for the Tacoma, for example. Not like for the Wrangler, but there’s plenty available. If Ford actually tries to compete with the Wrangler, and they make at least a trim aimed at serious off-roading, and the consumers embrace it, then the aftermarket will follow.
These are raising the price aside from inflation and demand.... they are doing customer's no favors!
What would be controversial, is if Ford didn’t demonstrate the Bronco’s capabilities on America’s most iconic off-road trail.
"Where is the Ford commercial?"
You guys are doing it.
Boy, if this is a Ford commercial we’d live to see what you think of the real Bronco commercials that are coming soon.
@@TFLoffroad hell, I'll already reserved my 4 door Badlands with Sasquatch package. The commercials will be wated effort for me.
lololololol
TFL hates anything Ford makes, they get together in a circle jack everyday trying to find anything bad to say about the Ford, If I was Ford I would file a lawsuit against them about the lies they say about the F-150 Eco-Boost,,,TFL is butt hurt cause the F-150 Eco-Boost is more powerful than their beloved 5.7 Hemi
There were no shots of the Bronco actually succeeding at a difficult run... it was prob posted by a Jeep lover proving that the Bronco has good numbers, but can't actually rock crawl easily like Jeeps can. I came away from the video thinking the Broncos were lame and with all that trail damage, a very expensive day for them.
this was deliberate by ford for sure, but also it's "THE TRAIL" to run a rig on to prove it's offroad worth.
Yet, so many promote Hells Revenge as the ultimate tester. It is a tourist attraction. lol How can it be harder than the Rubicon Trail, when they got rentals going out all day long with group tours and all that jazz? lol I think it is time for Nissan to get back in the game and make a new 4x4 and call it "Hells Revenge". ;)
Just started my channel where I take trucks off road up in the mountains and bag on em. I just wanna make some people laugh.
@@WW-wf8tu lol Some manufacturer needs to name their next AWD crossover the Fire Road.
A stock 1940's cj2a on 29" tires with lockers can run the rubicon how the hell is it "the trail"
@@hippiebits2071 Excellent suggestion! Although, no manufacturer is going to lower peoples expectations like that with honesty. lol
Ford is most certainly throwing heat at Jeep. That’s the whole purpose for the Bronco. Healthy competition is great! Forces products and engineering to improve further.
if Toyota, Honda (maybe Nissan) had not started building superior quality cars and sending them over here the big three would of had no incentive to improve the dismal quality of their product over the crap they were building from about 1980 to early 2000's.
@Rusty Climber The UAW put them in bankruptcy. They had to pay them to not work. It was ridiculous. most of the big 3 cars are built abroad because of the UAW. more import brands are built here than domestic because they will not tolerate the UAW. The UAW squeezed the big 3 so hard they had to cheapen the cars to try to make a profit. maybe now that Ford will have the Bronco, Jeep will have to up the quality to compete. The Pontiac Aztek was a shining example of a vehicle that GM knew they were going to lose money on, but they had to build it anyway because it was cheaper to build it using the UAW, than to cancel it and pay the UAW guys to not work.
my point was that with the Bronco in the Off Road Market hopefully Jeep will have to up their quality in order to stay on top.
Exactly, this will force jeep to step their game up. Its a good thing for all of us
Rusty Climber you must live in a pretty crappy state. Come to Utah and say that 4 wheeling is dead you can go on just about any trail in Utah and see multiple people wheeling and rock crawling. You should try to get out of the city a bit more it’s a lot of fun and good stress relief.
"Where is the commercial of them doing it?" You're making the commercial for them, and I'm watching it right now. Lol.
In this day and age, everything is a statement. Ford was making a statement with the Bronco.
@Matt - I think Ford made a pretty big statement by funding black lives matter to the tune of half a BILLION dollars a couple years ago.
All the riots, vandalism, theft, violence brought to you by FORD.
The Bronco is a limp-wristed distraction from that fact.
@@samjohnson9894 get your facts straight. The Ford foundation donated. Not Ford motor company. Ford motor company divested from the foundation in the 70's completely separating themselves from Ford foundation. No Ford family member has been on the board since and Ford motor company never shared funding with them since.
There were no shots of the Bronco actually succeeding at a difficult run... it was prob posted by a Jeep lover proving that the Bronco has good numbers, but can't actually rock crawl easily like Jeeps can. I came away from the video thinking the Broncos were lame and with all that trail damage, a very expensive day for them.
If they want to make a statement, they should fix their shit quality and stop outsourcing their interiors to Fisher-Price.
@@transws6am Yea, sure keep saying that while the literal base Bronco comes with AC, an 8 inch touch screen, LED lights, power windows and lock, keyless entry and more. The quality of it's interior is far better then Jeeps, don't get me started on Jeep electric problems.
As a Jeep owner I'm glad to see Ford bringing this back! I love the competition aspect of this!
The competition will only cause them to push each other to greater heights
I'm a Ford guy, my buddy is a Jeep guy. He said he's super happy the bronco came out because it's going to push jeep to do something different and/or better. Jeep has held the crown for a while, they haven't really experimented with much to push the limits of innovation. Now, we might see some change.
Same here, I'm a Jeeper and can't get enough of the Bronco shenanigans..Ford is doing the right thing! Push Jeep to innovate because those Broncos look tempting
The FJ Cruiser did the trail with zero body damage. The FJ100 lost some body parts during the same trip.🤣 When Toyota did it they used the $300,000 prototype, they hadn’t started production yet.
nick sanchez since the launch of the rubicons, I’d agree they haven’t made revolutionary changes. The longer control arms of the jl definitely improve ride and articulation on and off road. They made the windshield easier to fold than the jk. Doors are lighter which helps with removal. The front and rear lockers, sway bar disconnect, and lower low range transfer case were rubicon exclusive until Ford jumped on the band wagon. It’s much easier to copy the other guys formula and throw in a bit of one ups manship. The 360 cameras would be a nice add to the wrangler line. Factory 35’s available across all models would be nice too. Engine wise the eco diesel is still hard to beat. Hopefully they drive each other to some v8 options again, but time will tell.
We can all sit here and argue: Bronco vs. Wrangler. But does it matter? A lot of it has to do with the driver anyhow. I will just be tickled to see another capable off-road rig in dealer lots soon! I hope more auto makers join in on the fight!!
I hope th FJ cruiser comes back 🙏
@@dirf554 me too!!!! Toyota needs to get with it! Would love to see it again
You miss the point. for the enthusiasts Jeep is no longer an American icon. It is now owned by Fiat and Fiat designs and unreialibility of mechanics are killing the enthusiasts. Ford is trying to became the new American off road icon. And that makes a lot of sense.
Sorta... the bronco won’t have the flex the Jeep does ever with that IFS.
@@mallkrawlerz620 The rear can make up for the front. Lockers and clearance can too.
The IFS will be better for snow, mud, sand, and pavement.
I'm a Jeep guy, always was since I bought a YJ striped at the Jeep Dealership in West Palm Beach in 1988. I saw the Bronco and fell in love. They nailed it. I'm getting a 4 door Black Diamond with the mid & Sasquatch packages. I'm also opting for the 2.7. I'm also searching for a used Jeep. Something not too high in mileage with some accessories added. So, I dig The Bronco and I also love Jeep.
@Darvin Stjohn you right bruh !
Little secret my buddy at Ford says to never buy a Ford because they made it last till the warranty is over
@Darvin Stjohn Wrong, been offroad.
@Darvin Stjohn As for right now, I think I'll stay with Jeep.
I got an 88 5.8 bronco but if money were no concern I get me a jeep as well. Too bad I went to dealer 3 times in less than two yrs now I can’t get a new bronco smh
This is just smart business by Ford. They wanted to test the Bronco on one of the most iconic trails in America and they got a ton of social media coverage showing the Bronco doing some serious off-roading.
A tone of free social media:)
Ford is losing their own sales on the F-150's and SUV's cause everybody is waiting to buy the Bronco
The FJ cruiser did the trail with zero body damage. The FJ 100 lost some body parts on the same trip 🤣🤣
There were no shots of the Bronco actually succeeding at a difficult run... it was prob posted by a Jeep lover proving that the Bronco has good numbers, but can't actually rock crawl easily like Jeeps can.

@@bladeslicemaster5390 You are literally copy pasting this comment everywhere in this comment section now that i look at it, it seems like you just hate the Bronco.
This IS ABSOLUTELY a shot at Jeep! I applaud this healthy competition and can't wait to see what's next!
i`m glad to see competition, but imitation of the jeep in the form of copying the removable top, doors, and then the full roll cage and the see through door panel cutout is all jeep stuff. the vehicle is a jeep copy but with a ford badge. thats not cool in my opinion
@@healthyamerican Well, Ford has always made great trucks and SUVs, were fun off-road back in the day should be of no surprise they'd give you a true competitor with many of the same options. Technically they did initially make the very first Jeep too.
@@shawnmacisaac5226 everything you said is correct. but i`m still irritated with their imitating jeep. i saw the ford commercial where they claimed the bronco was the worlds first suv...as if jeep cj and all varieties of jeeps, land rover defender, toyota land cruiser, mahindra, chevy suburban, were not already making suv`s. how can ford blatantly lie to the public as if no one would notice. but then i see how they copy the jeep and think no one will notice because it has a bronco badge. strange
@@healthyamerican It's not copying Jeep since Jeep never claimed to have owned or came up with those features which most SUV of the like have it, plus it's an iconic thing that people want, so just because Jeep has it doesn't mean the Bronco shouldn't. It's like literally saying the Bronco shouldn't have removable tops and doors just because another vehicle has it, so another car shouldn't have tires just because every other car has tires.... by your logic anyway.
@@raionshishi8290 its almost an identical vehicle. But i would include the original toyota land cruiser and mahindra and land rover defender which were also copies of jeep. Surely you see an imitation of the jeep in the bronco. the imitation goes way beyond saying if one car has tires then its ok for another car to have tires. Whats ironic is people who show no respect for jeep will then swoon an drool over bronco who is imitating jeep. Credit should be given where it is due. If people are honest then they will see a copycat in the bronco, but copycats have been around for many years
This event definitely came out of Ford's marketing budget.
“Where’s the Ford Commercial” you’re part of it!! They don’t have to produce anything. These trucks are all over the internet organically. Absolutely brilliant.
The older man is correct. Everything is a calculated move by Ford.
Of course he is, the other one thinks the world is all about fairytales
Well time will tell if the military picks up the bronco since jeep served so long.....
No kidding? Ford made a vehicle to challenge Jeep and then challenged Jeep?
Of course its an obvious middle finger to Fiat Jeep. Like the son said its nothing new Toyoda FJ cruiser did it back over a decade ago. Its a Ford Bronco commercial.
@@rgii6374 the jeep hasnt been used since 1989 when the humvee took over. And the final "jeeps" used... the m151a2 "MUTT"... was made by ford.
I'd like to see the new defender try the rubicon trail. Haha
You know the ford exec’s are sitting back giving high 5’s and saying “haha it’s working”
That will be short lived remember what I’m telling u
Tommy be like "nothing to see here, move along!" 😁😁😁
Cry cry cry get to the point
"Out of all the places Ford could have gone" Ford is testing the Bronco literally across the country on every extreme trail they can find.
Ehab Aleid Testing is long over.
@@EoWKen Not really. Did you saw the picture with all the cables? Probably a lot of sensors and computers to collect data.
Francisco Pérez Well maybe for programming efficiency and power output but the physical design of the vehicle was long finished.
@Jonathan T. Brown hltesting definetly not over. Production doesn't start until next year. They will be testing that vehicle right up until production to make it as best as possible. They don't just stop testing a vehicle when they think it's good enough.
Yet this one was highly publicized
You can tell he is a little salty, Ford black listed them from Bronco everything. I bet you don't see them getting a Bronco to demo...
I have said this more than once...TFL was pro Ford until they got blacklisted.
I believe they actually pre-ordered one so they won't get a demo but will have one of their own.
That would explain a lot. Also by then bashing Ford they make themselves look bad. Nobody else. I was going to buy a Wrangler but I’ll wait for the Bronco and take a side by side look. I’m also hoping that the competition will make Jeep dealers more flexible. Can’t negotiate with them hardly at all. That will probably change and I buy nothing that I can’t negotiate. Certainly not something I don’t really need.
I work in marketing. This is a direct challenge to Jeep. Ford didn't put the photos up, but you know they reached out to different outlets letting them know that the Bronco would be out there on this day at this time so keep an eye out.
Great vid guys! I agree with Roman, Ford is really going after the Jeep market share and there really isn't a better place to do it.
Hahahaha!!!! Bitter party of one? I never laughed so hard between father and son.
It was absolutely confrontational and I love it! Competition between the two and we consumers all win!
You guys make it SO much more interesting and fun to see than any other Bronco reviews/videos I've seen, congrats, great channel!
Your Dad is still upset Ford banned TFL from Bronco debut.
They were banned from the debut?
@@RR-hk3jj yeah, they were pretty vocal about it, not sure how you missed that one...
@@jlang8213 The tears has fixed the drought!
J Lang mentioned at least once a vid lol
I think it was two fold. Ford wants to legitimize the Bronco as an off road capable vehicle. It doesn't hurt to do it in Jeeps back yard.
the biggest problem with the Jeep is it's a terrible highway vehicle, above 50 MPH it feels like the wheels are falling off, I say the Bronco won't be like that
Tom Turd when was the last time you drove a wrangler? Our jlu with the 2.0t handles great at speed, both on the freeway at 80+ and on windy mountain passes. The broncos ifs will ride smoother on the road, the Jeep would walk up that obstacle the ifs couldn’t quite make in the video. Most buyers don’t go off road at all, and even those that do stick to dirt roads. In that terrain the bronco has the edge. In the rocks where articulation is king, advantage Jeep. Ease of lifting, and thus cost is another huge disparity between the solid axle and the ifs. I hope the competition drives Jeep to improve upon their weak points, but for my off road needs I’ll stick with the proven commodity.
@@zachwhite2323 I OWNED a NEW 2011 Wrangler, took it to different dealers cause it wobbled all over the road past 50 MPH and they all told me the same thing, THEY ALL DO THAT, I traded it in after owning it for 6 months
@@BartStar009 a solid front axle does behave differently than ifs, you will feel bumps from one tire to the other by it's nature. Maybe your's was worse than the jk's I've driven, or superduty's for that matter of the same era , maybe you are expecting a car/ifs like ride that you'll never see out of a solid axle? In either case, you'll definitely find a better road ride from the Bronco. I'll always trade a little road manners for the off road performance I'm used to from a solid axle.
Jeep owns this trail?
That old 70's Bronco down the street, just shot up in value.....dang it :D
I'm a Bronco guy through and through with un interrupted ownership since 1983 and cant wait for my 2021 to be delivered, currently and happily driving my 95 EB. I also cant help but have a lot of respect for the Jeep Wrangler line, fantastic vehicles that have a strong following for a reason. I actually like the rivalry and think its good for both brands. Thanks for the vid i was hoping to see some on trail footage after i heard about it. . . . i promise to NOT put an "its a Bronco thing . . . you wouldnt understand" sticker on my new rig lol : D
Guess he is still pissed at Ford
maybe, or it's just drama generating mode
I’m still pissed at Ford. Shame on them for cutting our favorite UA-camrs out of the launch. C’mon Ford, they didn’t violate a published gag order. It’s time to move on Ford.
thats funny, i doubt he's really pissed but has no problem playing the anti Ford guy
It’s been a couple of decades since my Ford ownership experience and I am STILL PISSED! I wouldn’t trust a Bronco off road unless I had seen one go off-road many dozens of times.
Erin Thor I wouldn’t trust a Jeep with my life. Fiat junk 💩
I think they had to make it there or be a failure, its THE test and Bonco needed to pass for credibility.
Tommy is going to be a straight up honest guy when he owns this channel I have been following for years and years and years before you guys even had 1,000 subs on tfl car or truck and I was there when I gave you guys money to keep this running! And I’m so glad you guys are out there because motor trend should get scared in the next couple of years! Greats journalism!! And great information and great research and nailing it down to the spec of a sand! Working on doing my own reviews on after market and drag racing! Good job guys and Roman! Congratulations on your success!!
Back in 2002 a friend of mine drove the entire Rubicon trail in his then factory stock base model 1998 Jeep Wrangler with it’s 2.5 liter 120 horsepower inline 4 cylinder engine and 5 speed manual transmission. It wasn’t easy and there were more than a few sections that took a long time and a lot of hard work to get through but he made it with minimal damage to his Jeep. A lot of people told him he was crazy and that he wouldn’t make it or that he would ruin his Jeep but he did it anyway. He did have to get some winch assistance from guys in the group he was with a few times so technically you can say he didn’t actually do it in a stock base model Wrangler because without the help of a winch he wouldn’t have gotten by a couple areas on his own but I’d consider it a successful run.
I don’t think it’s meant to be “confrontational” at all. Ford just wants to show us that the Bronco is a seriously capable off-road truck! Why would they want to hide that?!
It’s not a truck, it’s an suv.
Modern DICE Gaming got me
A 1950 flat fender jeep will blow away the new bronco
@@jessemontano601 Stock? ... Not a chance!
@@agrozema54 Super Useful Vehicle 😏
Romans totally right on this one
I as a modified Jeep Rubicon owner saw those photos in your video for the first time and immediately thought wow I like that better than my wrangler. Especially for my family to be able to go with me.
I literally just got home from the jeep jamboree Rubicon trail. My wife and I took our 03 TJ Rubicon for our first off road experience. We made it home without a scratch. Those trail guides are masters.
I wish IH still made the Scout!
❤ My first vehicle 74 IH Scout. Absolutely indestructible, they don't make them like that anymore.
Roman is absolutely right. Ford is putting Jeep on notice. What will be more symbolic than to take on Jeep in its namesake trail.
Ready to see the Bronco on dealer lots!! I currently drive a Wrangler and it’s not my 1st. Jeep has had a strangle hold on the market for too long!!! Competition breeds improved products and hopefully competitive pricing!!!
Ford was going after Jeep when they went to the Rubicon trail
Ford doesn't have to steal Jeep customers, most were waiting in the Jeep for the Bronco to come back. The Blazer guys are still waiting.
The Blazer guys all jumped off a bridge last year.
Have to wait for Hummer
SuzukiKid400 😂
No serious JK offroader or overlander would consider a 4cyl turbo engine with an automatic transmission. More than 2.1 million Wrangler JKs have been made since production started in 2006 and they are everywhere, parts are cheap, the aftermarket is huge and the Bronco is IMO, a poor copy of the JK.
EV hummer might be a competitor, but then again the price tag will be pretty high
Roman, give its rest, I would run the Rubicon if I own a company competing against Jeep. Wouldn’t you ?
Roman still butt hurt from not getting a invite from ford during unveiling of the new Bronco. Come on Roman.
Where in the video does Roman suggest they should not? Are you stupid or something?
With Toyota and Ford, all Jeep hears is... “look at me! Look at me! I can do it too!”
Jeep looks back through the rear view mirror and assures, “that’s good boys, way to go... let’s keep going though...”
Glad Ford promoting their new Bronco capability. Enjoyed video Ford Bronco going to be huge success.
Pretty impressed with the new Bronco. Makes me sad that Chevy wasted the Blazer name on yet another bland forgettable suv.
GM PRODUCTS WERE JUNK AS IS THE BLAZER
Man, the new blazer is a joke !
I don't think that Ford was making a "statement" just testing on one of the premier proving grounds.
The spot in the video where the Bronco was struggling, is the hard route, to the left of that spot is a more passable route.
I've been on the Rubicon several times in my very modified early Bronco (I even pull a trailer) and it's no piece of cake....even snapped a rear axle in the Little Sluice but, that was my fault, I was pulling a trailer.
Ford did their homework on that IFS front end, it seems to flex remarkedly well and the steering linkage and CVs seem to be pretty stout as well.
We'll have to wait for an actual magazine test/review with veteran pilots behind the wheel.
And, they had way too much air in those tires!
I usually go down to 8-10psi.
So, kudos to Ford for showing the capabilities of their new Bronco.....not just another mall crawler!
That's cool, impressed with the trailer part, even tho that wasn't the best idea.
That was the easy spot xD
@@AaronLecrone001 no it was not 🤔
I wouldn’t hold my breath for a “magazine” to offer a non-bias review.
I have rented two door jeeps in Silverton Colorado and was impressed several years later we rented a jeep Rubicon it was the roughest ride i ever rented was so glad to get off the trail.
The Rubicon Trail is like the Nuremberg Ring for manufacturers. And I bet the wrangler was there to pull out the Broncos when they got stuck. LOL
Roman totally nailed it on the head. My guess is these were purposely leaked to the 6g forum
They said it was just people along the trail that day and seen the Broncos and took videos and shared them, nothing about purposely leaked
Bronco is going to be such a huge hit for Ford! I can't wait to get mine.
same they are doing it right!
Agreed! Reserved the Black Diamond, trim! Cannot wait!

So I'm planning on buying but I really need to see a pov test drive of the i4 and v6 to decide. Any chance you guys have a video on that or can make one?
At the end of the day ford did Jeep lovers a favor because the competition will force Jeep to step up there game.
Right on
*their
Matt Corbel omg really
@@kylerider7125 omg really! Didn't you go to school? should have paid attention. Now you look like an idiot.
Where game?
Tell’m Tommy ... sit your dad in the corner 😂😂
The Bronco jumped to the top of my personal list.💙
Having reviewed the land rover do you envisage the 2020 Defender being capable of doing this trail?
Ford has always been provocative. Especially with the mustang, gt40 in le mans, and now it's new come back bronco. Lol
Everyone does the Rubicon these days, but when Ford does it in the new Bronco its being provocative? You do realize Broncos were doing the Rubi before the new Bronco was announced right?
I don't think u get the point of the video, it's a new production vehicle against the biggest current 4x4
Or broncos were doing the rubicon before there was a Jeep rubicon..
@@Goingforbroke71 almost like the whole Rubicon thing is just a marketing tactic, right? Crazy.
@@antoniorios3856 I think he "gets the video" He just doesn't get he worthless argument.
@@Goingforbroke71 That's what I was thinking too.
Ford took a dump on Jeep's living room floor.
Dumped parts looks like
Ford still has to win the customer base time will tell what they did or didn't accomplish so far my money is safe in my pocket. looks to much like my Jeep might as well stay with something I already own!
I think the bronco is just an average SUV , people are to make it what it's not I'm not blind I can see and hear very good
More like it shit the 🛌 😂
why doesnt the new land rover defender do the rubicon trail? or any land rover for that matter? we all know the answer to that
That mustang race driver did it in a Bronco with his daughter in a ranger with a friend in a heavy modified jeep and made it all the way through and didn't tear it up like this cat. They had 37 on all of the vehicles.
Dad is spot on! Ford is DEFINITELY making a statement here... the Bronco will absolutely demolish a Jeep. BTW... the original military Jeep was made by Ford Motor Company.
Roman is really getting annoying on being butthurt about Ford.
You know, Roman, there are plenty of brands of decaf that are just as tasty as the real thing. ;)
but there not the real thing
Giving Ford kudos for going after Jeep is being butthirt? You must be a proper soyboy.
@@jaromor8808 considering that i triggered you that easily you must be the soy boy! 😂
For sure it’s both. Picking this specific trail, Ford was able to kill 2 birds with 1 stone:
1. Test the capabilities of the Bronco for off-road cred
2. Stick it Jeep
ABSOLUTELY intentional!!! No doubt. And I am a Jeep owner (more than one...) and I have NO problem with Ford coming out strong with some in your face competition!!!
Do we know what engine they were running on the Bronco 2.3 or 2.7 ?
The Rubicon jeep was named after the trail, not vice versa lol. Any vehicle can run it if it's capable enough 🤷♂️
Good point
They said that the jeep was named after the trail at the beginning.
They did say that during the vid, my comment more or less towards all the other comments saying that Ford was going into Jeep's turf to prove something lol. Like it's not Jeep's turf, they don't own the trail, it's just a trail lol.
It's just a trail there's all kinds of vehicles going up it just because it's called the Rubicon doesn't mean nobody else can drive on it in any other vehicle
It's a hard trail. If the Bronco can complete the trail stock, then it's pretty impressive.
John C it looked pretty banged up tho.
@@johnc8327
Yes. I agree
@@bluesfan6862 if you come out of the rubicon without some damage, you didn't do it right.
I mean they went as far as removing wrangler off the side of the broncos tires so I think it could very well possibly be marketing sprinkled on the trail pick
Great video guys. Photos and video cannot reveal how rough it is and how step the drive can be. I have been on the Rubicon 3 times. The first time was 1969 with Toyota driving a stock FJ40 which destroyed the Jeeps. The Jeeps broke axles, driveshafts and high centered frequently. Fortunately Jeep fixed a lot of these issues. Glad to see Ford out there with their new Bronco.
It took jeep 2 years to get its diesel out, how long will it take for the bronco? Waiting for a diesel. Any time frame? Thanks
Tom, you need to be quiet now, your father is right, FORD’S letting their presence be known with the Bronco
No the father sound like a hater
Rayden DR No the father is correct he’s not hating on Jeep he’s stating facts
I really hope the Bronco will restore Toyota’s faith in the offroad SUV market. Obviously, the 4runners are selling great now but Toyota needs something more Jeep-ish or Bronco-ish with retro styling. *cough* FJ Cruiser *cough*
i would love to see a new FJ
Ha, we see how well in-tune with the markets they are with their Supra flop.
@@user-gx2bs1vq7w True
TheGeekwad If only!
Love or hate the Ford Bronco, the one thing every Jeep enthusiast will appreciate is this added competition from Ford will finally force FCA (now Stellantis) to lower the price of the JL and JT along with finally upgrading some of the shortcomings that have been requests from Jeep owners for years such as a hemi option. Maybe we might even see a factory Dana 60 option, 10-speed auto option from the Ram for the Wrangler/Gladiator down the road too.
This was absolutely a message from Ford to Jeep - "You have a serious challenger. Watch out."
Good on Ford for taking these Bronco's to the Rubicon!! I hope they can provide Jeep with some solid, well-earned competition!
Tommy’s right, it is both!
Bend over Jeep Here Comes Ford and they're not owned by foreigners 🇺🇸
this Ford will kick those glorified FIATS in the ass lmao
Hilarious.
For 4x4 guys the Rubicon is the ultimate trail and running the Bronco on it is how they show the Bronco is serious out of the box.
Ive owned 5 Broncos ranging from 74-86. 86 is my current vehicle.
I also owned about 5 jeeps. Ranging from scrambler, yj, xj, and a wj.
Both manufacturers make great long lasting purpose built vehicles.
After seeing a few 2021 Bronco walk around videos, I definitely feel Fords really leapt ahead of jeep. Such a highly customizable vehicle. Right down to the bolt on 1/4’s to eliminate trail damage. Great job Ford!
Ok jeep. Now lets see your response.
I think it's both! Love the content!!!!!
Oh holy yes. Unofficial declaration of war. :-)
Glad to see the legend is back
I feel that if it was meant to jab at Jeep, they never would have shown it “failing”’ without then succeeding.
This is the trail that everyone has to do period! That’s it!
I don’t think ford did it just because, they did it because fca is going after the pickup market with Ram so naturally ford went after the off-road market with the Bronco that Jeep normally controls.
Sounds like more tears from the uninvited, how much longer will this go on? When I got shot at, I got over it by the end of the day!
Bronco seems to be a nice vehicle. Competition is good. Love my Jeep ...dont love the prices they ask for them though. Doesnt seem like both vehicles will be dropping prices anytime soon.
Roman, you seem upset about Ford stepping into the Jeep Rubicon territory? Jeep has a well established history and there are a countless number of aftermarket parts, overland equipment designed for the Jeep. Ford has made a good design strategy to revive the Bronco image after OJ Simpson’s car chase days. It will take a few years to see how successful it becomes.
So oo oo chevy is last as usual making something to challenge? Maybe they'll bring the Aztec 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Ford basically went to Jeep's house and peed on the living room floor! It was for fun and publicity. They knew Bronco 6G would so publish those pics
You mean by struggling to clear obstacles the jeep handles easily and sustaining significant damage doing so? I guess.
And Jeep will be at Fords door to shit on their cake.
Are you guys talking about the same Jeep Wrangler's that have to sit at the bottom of the hill behind my Tacoma and press a bunch of buttons to make it up the same hill the Tacoma walked right up? Leading a bunch or Wranglers through some trails and suddenly nobody is following because they are at the bottom of the hill pressing buttons to make the Jeep as capable at my Tacoma.
@@mickalgabler6198 Do you have video to back up your liberal claims or you just running your mouth because you like the sounds and smells of your farts?
@@40calDeathPunch you don't have to be an ass about it. To me, it was not an overly difficult hill when dry, so there would be no reason to take video. We run that trail all the time and I lead trail out there for an event called SnoBlind so I know the trails well. I usually do that double hill climb first to separate the men from the boys. To me, the Jeep Rubicon is taking the skill out of off-roading. All you really need is a locking rear axle at the most. and someone in the group to have a winch. My 99 4Runner had a rear locking axle before Jeep ever thought of it.
Good for Ford! Glad to see their confidence in their products!
Haha I stayed in the same hotel as these guys, saw the Broncos in person. Chill dudes.
Daddy wasn't there to change my underwear!
If on 33's that is impressive.
Rubicon Wrangler does it on 33s
Nah was said Bronco will come with 35s from factory.
@@reisen-5970 Only if you get a certain package called "Sasquatch".
If you don't get that package then most trims come stock with 33in wheels
@@UncleElroy21 32's... 255/75r17 or a 32.6 in the 285/70r17.
Corey Garcia sorry most trims come with 32s. The only ones that dont are the Badlands with 33s and the wildtrack comes standard with sasquatch package so 35s. The 35s though when you add the sasquatch on any trim are only MT tires. Unfortunately no AT tire option.
There is a video clip taken from a passenger car on a highway passing a flatbed semi trailer with what appears to be those same 3 Broncos on back plus that grey Wrangler.
I cant help but think of that meme on facebook of family guy where Meg yells at her family saying "WHY DO YOU ALL THINK YOUR BETTER THEN ME" at the top now is Jeep, Toyota, and now Ford.... meg would be the trail blazer :-D
