Finally a side by side comparison. I was surprised in your video that the cargo space in the Bronco isn't much bigger than the Bronco Sport. I was expecting a significant increase in cargo space.
I was surprised when I actually measured it out as well! It's that boxier early 2000's Escape look that does it for the Bronco Sport. Which way do you think you'd go?
Makes sense. Some channels have some port wild mods done to their Bronco so far. Going to be great to see what part makers come up with over the next few years
It's been some time since you posted this but I'm watching as I'm about 4 weeks away from taking delivery of a BS Badlands. I think the Sport is the most practical by far for most people - I had been set on a full size Bronco since early 2020 but I just can't justify that, especially with gas prices the way they are and the current political situation (almost feel silly buying any ICE car) but the Sport seems to be a good compromise. I have yet to see a BL with the premium package in person like I ordered but it doesn't scream "$40k car" to me, that said it seems to have quite rugged material and that I hope doesn't feel too cheap in person. Either way, I'm very excited to take delivery and it should serve its purposes well as a road tripper/camper/daily work commuter. Took a lot of time to really consider this vehicle as any new vehicle is a BIG financial decision, and slightly scary, but I really appreciate the in-depth info you've provided.
Appreciate you commenting on it either way! I agree with you on the size - I'll probably stress that a bit more in the 2022 compare video I'm about to shoot. I'd probably go the BSBL as well, not as much ground clearance stock as the Bronco but there's always the option to lift it if off-roading is the intended use Exciting that your BL is on the way! Curious, how long ago did you order it?
@@CarsWithSteve Excited to see your next video. I ordered the last week of January, BS BL w/ premium package (no moon-roof) and had a build date about 2 days later. My original build date was April 11th and it was quickly pushed back to April 18th. "Fairly" quick turnaround time compared to what I've seen. I have heard some dealers may have priority on orders placed through them but no clue if there's any validity to that.
@@byrde4329 Wow, that's a pretty good order to production time right now. I know the Bronco Sport lineup has been pretty popular since it was introduced, people seem to really love the style
I don’t know what it is with the shadow black colour and white writing on the bronco sports but I love the colours mixed ( making me get impatient for my bronco sport big bend and edition September arrival
Yes! The black on black and black on white combo looks really sharp! Great that you've got a delivery date. I've got a buddy who has been waiting on their Bronco Sport build since February 🤦♂️
I’d lean towards the sports model. More put together under the hood. The actual bronco looks like a HOT mess under the hood. I would not want to work on that car in a few years when things need replacing Lmao
@@CarsWithSteve yes. If I’m buying a car that costs that much I would expect to not have a mess like that under the hood. What mechanic would want to work on a mess like that?😭🤣 I would not work on that car 🤣
Also if I’m paying that much I would want to keep the car a long time and do repairs myself. I would not want to work under the hood of a car that looks like that lol

@@CarsWithSteve Full size Bronco mainly because I want it to grow with me. I love
The customization that can be done with it.

Great in depth comparison here. This should have way more views!
Thanks Brady, appreciate that!
Great review! Thanks for making this video!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

Both awesome, but I’m leaning towards the sport model 🤔
I'd say the Sport would be my choice as well. I don't go off-road enough to justify needing a full size Bronco!
It's a go over any terrain ,,,,,not go over anything mode
Yessss
So good!

Haha is the engine the only reason why you'd go for the Sport vs the full size?

@@16190john Yeah that makes sense - part availability wouldn't be an issue across either one but it would be a bit trickier to work on the full size
@@CarsWithSteve but the design of the full-size bronco and the off road capabilities do impress me. Beautiful car.
Only when Ford offer 2.0 L engine on the lower trim, I will buy
I think we’d see a hybrid version of the Bronco before the 2.0L engine being released
