Let me add this about the Bronco Sport - because I forgot to include it in the video. The Sport has amazing visibility all around the cabin. The blind spots are at a minimum. Its easy to glance behind you and look out the opposite side quarter glass and see what's there unlike the FJ Cruiser where it had a HUGE blind spot. Not knocking the FJ - I absolutely love the vehicle and would buy it too LOL. But even with the newness wearing off, I am so glad I bought the vehicle. It's very fun to drive. Sport mode feels like a rocket just kicked on - the acceleration for me was amazing. Eco - is designed to cut back and run efficiently & and I drive that mode the most or normal (if I forget to switch to ECO). We have had it in the Mud & Ruts mode when we did this video for there were some rather deep gullies we went through and the sport handled like a dream. No problems there one bit. And - AAANNNDDDD - Shawn got to drive it through the gullies in Mud & Ruts mode so don't let him tell you anything different! I supervised the WHOLE THING! LOL!!
@@moeanthony9308 No it's just a Fiat 500C POP - the Abarth would just be a faster death trap on wheels like his rat rod Susan is Australia on wheels cuz everything in it and on it will try to mame or kill you LOL
LOL I'm gonna keep adding to the things I forgot to mention in the video, but another thing you all may want to know is that the Badlands on both Sport and Bronco come 1" higher ground clearance than the other packages (FE excluded). Keep that in mind when you are shopping for one.
Coming home at a traffic light had someone slam on the brakes and turn the warning scares the piss out of you till you get used to having it. Still loving it!!!💖
Oh and its break assists works great too. We were up near Arkdale Wisconsin at about midnight. Real dark in the northwoods. We noticed deer alongside the road but not the deer in the middle of the road and the bronco started stopping before we used the breaks. It kept us from hitting that deer.
Nice video! Please continue to share your tips and tricks with the bronco sport! Most vids don't cover it in detail. I'm looking at buying one so I'd love to learn this stuff!
We will be doing some videos of items we found out about the Bronco Sport later next week. We also have a couple items that we plan on installing in the next couple weeks. We will show the install and how they work. Yakima Surfboard rack and a auto stop eliminator.
Gratz... hopefully Jill will let me drive her Bronco Sport again soon. :) It is pretty cool, considering my vehicles are a bit older and they don't have the nannies this one does.
It is an easy vehicle to drive. I am getting used to the lane keeping system since I have never driven a vehicle with that. I am going to the Austin Off-Roadeo instead center June. Looking forward to actually trying all the modes in real off road conditions. Appreciate the videos and insights learned!!
I am 6'2" and have plenty of room for both leg and headroom. I don't drive it much unless chaperoned lol. I only drove it to my work 3 times. But I usually drive if we are both in the car.
It handles great in snow and ice. It handles good on loose gravel. Good power on freeway. Our other truck is a 2002 chevy avalanche z71 which has 205,000 miles it's our heavy hauler.
Nice. I miss the snow... kinda. lol Our list of vehicles is getting bigger. 2021 Bronco sport, 2014 Toyota 4Runner, 2012 Ford F350 crew cab long bed, 2012 Fiat 500c, and a 1952 Ford F1 (kinda) future additions are 2021 Bronco, and Lotus Elise/Exige or Viper... we are a car family... lol
@@1Five1Garage the snow I can see but not the cold brrr lol. Yea we want to see if Ford really releases this small pickup based on the baby bronco really happens. Not holding too much breathe that it happens this year though with the chip shortage.
my little bronco sport handled well when my husband and I took it off-roading. It had no problem going through gullies and ditches and ruts. :D In Mud/Rut mode - the front camera stays on so you can see what you are about to get yourself into :D
We just do the premier to let people know what and when videos are coming. I am usually just getting home a little bit ago. As time goes on we may start getting home earlier. We try to answer every question in the comments though.
One thing I found out was how comfortable the seatbelts are, I hate wearing them but I have tried to get out of the car because I forget I have it on , sport mode is standard for me
You guys are awesome. I have many relatives in Homestead, although I live in Toronto. So I do understand the drivers in Miami area. Nice to know about the avoidance system. Wow no sport mode in Bad lands? Good info. Off question tho How do you like the 4 runner? What year? . Thanks guys.
LOL Florida drivers... they keep us on our toes. Correct no Sport mode in the full size Bronco. It has Baja mode instead. The 4Runner is a 2014 Limited. It is the all wheel drive version no the 4 wheel drive people associate with the versions like the trd pro. That's why I always make fun of it for being mini van version of the 4Runner. It still have 4wheel drive system and capabilities just not the lifted type. Love it... not a single complaint. 160k + miles and just keeps going. I will probably get another one when something happens to this one.
@@1Five1Garage Thanks so much for the response and comment regarding the main reason.. Bronco. Iam thinking later down the road for 4 runner but funny thing is Iam not an offroader. Have a great safe day ahead.
That's the big Bronco Badlands that doesn't have the sport mode. The Bronco Sport has the Sport mode. We have a 2014 4Runner and we absolutely love it!
Compared to our 2012 F350 is awesome. Compared to a Prius... Not so great. If you are looking solely for fuel economy there are better options. Although nowadays with fuel going up to $8+a gallon.... I would get a Tesla.
We ended up going with the Outer banks edition instead of the Badlands for this reason. It's going to be a commuter in snowy weather more than an off roader. Saw some talk on the internet about the mpg's being better than advertised depending on how you drive and for us it's turned out to be true. Right now it's averaging about 32 mpg and that's in normal mode.
I live down in the Keys and am thinking about purchasing the Sport. Does it come with or is it possible to coat it with an anti corrosion like they do with airplanes in Florida? Also, is there paint protection from the sun? Asking because we don’t have garages down here.
We didn't get any paint protection film on it because we will be wrapping it soon and then ceramic coating it. As far as undercoating our dealer doesn't offer it. some might or you can find an after market place to do it. We plan on doing it ourselves after we get the Bronco and just do both.
I can now see why Ford has abandoned making small sedans when you look at the sensible practical rugged stylish Bronco Sport, why would you even contemplate a small sedan.
It is not an escape at all. Nearly everything is different. Suspension, 4x4, wheel base, roof support for heigh weight, tyres, interior seat, cargo size, engine is also set differently, metal bash plate, full size spare tyres. It is not at all an escape.

Thanks for sharing Jill. I had a laugh there. Death trap on wheels. Is it an Abarth?
I wish... I have driven one and those are so much fun. The Abarth is still a death trap, just a faster death trap. )

That's awesome. We also noticed the cross traffic alerts going on when we tried backing up..
All this is so good to hear! Cannot wait for mine to get here!
We plan on doing a few upgrades with the vehicle over the next couple weeks as well.
Yeah that's an amazing feature! I love it too with the bad drivers we have here LOL. Glad yours kept you from hitting Bambi.

My wife actually let me drive her Badlands Bronco Sport on a 200 mile round trip today! Very cool to drive.

We will be going in November for Auston and Moab earlier next year.
Thanks for review. Looking forward to my Bronco Sport Outer Banks being delivered soon. Engine power and leg room were two concerns I had.
I am 6'2" and have plenty of room for both leg and headroom. I don't drive it much unless chaperoned lol. I only drove it to my work 3 times. But I usually drive if we are both in the car.
I live in West Palm Beach. I'm hoping to buy a new Bronco this year. And yes, tourists are everywhere and it's hard to cope with them on the roadway.
Agreed! Let us know what you get! 😃
It handles great in snow and ice. It handles good on loose gravel. Good power on freeway. Our other truck is a 2002 chevy avalanche z71 which has 205,000 miles it's our heavy hauler.

The Maverick is supposed to come out. Not sure when but it will be mini truck size. It will be interesting.

Good info thanks. Just wondering if you will ever monitor live chat so people can ask questions while you are actually live?
We just do the premier to let people know what and when videos are coming. I am usually just getting home a little bit ago. As time goes on we may start getting home earlier. We try to answer every question in the comments though.
I think that may be in the future. We will keep you posted if we ever do a live. :)
One thing I found out was how comfortable the seatbelts are, I hate wearing them but I have tried to get out of the car because I forget I have it on , sport mode is standard for me
When I get more seat time I may notice that too. lol

@@JILLSQUIRKYCRAFTS Got it correct. Keep them coming
Oh no kidding?! My old boss used to live down there in Homestead. Small world, man!
Currently 3 minutes into the video I already h have a question 🙋🏻♀️ is it fuel efficient how are the mpgs
Compared to our 2012 F350 is awesome. Compared to a Prius... Not so great. If you are looking solely for fuel economy there are better options. Although nowadays with fuel going up to $8+a gallon.... I would get a Tesla.

Thanks for the review! Are the wheels and the roof the same color?
yes they are. carbonized grey
This vehicle should be sold world wide .
Agree. It fits the market of European needs. They don’t drive large vehicles for the most part.
I live down in the Keys and am thinking about purchasing the Sport. Does it come with or is it possible to coat it with an anti corrosion like they do with airplanes in Florida? Also, is there paint protection from the sun? Asking because we don’t have garages down here.

I can now see why Ford has abandoned making small sedans when you look at the sensible practical rugged stylish Bronco Sport, why would you even contemplate a small sedan.
Lol right! I love my sport! It’s been almost 2 years n not 1 recall or issue with it!!
Isn’t it really the Ford Escape “bronco” edition? Yes, yes it is.
No, no it isn't. Just the platform is from the escape. like the floor for the unibody. all body panels, suspension, engine and interior are different.
It is not an escape at all. Nearly everything is different. Suspension, 4x4, wheel base, roof support for heigh weight, tyres, interior seat, cargo size, engine is also set differently, metal bash plate, full size spare tyres. It is not at all an escape.
It's like someone saying a Lamborgini Diablo is Nissan Diablo because is has Nissan 300Z headlights. ) lol
