Exceeds! When I first heard the rumors in 2014/2015 I didn’t expect much. I was expecting a Smaller Explorer. That’s it. But this KILLED it. The price. The capabilities. And the comfort. The options. Jeep seriously has to look at the wrangler and get a massive mid cycle refresh out soon.

It really does seem like Ford listened to the enthusiasts when making this thing. That’s fantastic. They’re gonna have folks switching from all sorts of different vehicles into this thing. I already know some 4Runner and Jeep folks who have ordered these. Anxious to see how each camp likes them compared to what they’ve had. Would love to see this compared with those two vehicles once you get your long term tester. Seems like it takes some features from the current land cruiser and is like the love child between the LC and a Rubicon (specifically with the Sasquatch package)

[@krebgurfson5732]

enthusiasts wanted independent front suspension? no, what ford did was listen to their wallets and cash out on the bronco history. this is a ford ranger with lockers and no bed. This thing is never going to upset the wranglers hold on 2 door buggies.

[@hajjdawood]

@@krebgurfson5732 the 4runner, all modern ATVs, all modern offroaders etc all use IFS. Only the wrangler uses soild front axel which absolutely sucks on all terrain except extremely heavy duty rock crawling.

[@krebgurfson5732]

@@hajjdawood IFS is bad offroad. Sure ATVs and UTVs can use it fine, they're MUCH SMALLER. Offroad vehicles need a live axel in the front, that's why jeep has one up there, that's why people do live axel swaps on their vehicles because it's going to improve the strength, parts compatibility, and off road performance of their vehicles. A CV axel is not as strong as live axels. By your logic i could also point out that basically EVERY road car has IFS. That's right the toyota camry has IFS, let's see how it does in twisted rutted trails with large rocks, forget about it. IFS has clearance issues typically.

[@krebgurfson5732]

@Zakary Pollard sure, i agree that not everyone with a jeep is taking it offroad, and yes the bronco is better for people that want an on road car. but IFS is not better than a solid live axel off road. IFS is worse than live axels in 2021.

[@lonememe9674]

Man, I've owned and wheeled 4Runners for 12 years now, but I wish Toyota would get off their ass and make a competitive trim to the Bronco. At the very least something that can more easily accommodate 33" and up tires without trimming body mounts and replacing UCAs, and throw in rear AND front lockers that are independent of each other. I mean, I get it, I buy Toyota for the bombproof reliability and that reliability is achieved because they don't immediately jump to new things until they're proven out, but come onnnnn.

Ford has been knocking it out of the park lately. I was in the market for a wrangler a couple years ago, but then I test drove one. No way I’m paying that much money for the “potential” to go off-road and suffer everyday on road. The noise was unacceptable for that amount of money and I felt cramped (not a big guy). I’m going to check this one out. The entry levels with Sasquatch package would be my choice.

Personally I don’t care for the Bronco. I think it’s cool but the interior just looks 90% done to me. Plus I wouldn’t get a Wrangler either. Neither of them can carry all my gear. It’s pretty cool to load up 5 adults, all my firearms, ammo, ez up, tables, chairs, grill, propane, cooler, and go up some ridiculous terrain to get to a long range shooting location.

[@CarlosLago]

It's an accessory

[@ELmeinz]

Cargo volume is a misleading measure of usable cargo space, as most of us don't really want to fill our vehicles all the way to the ceiling. They should tell us the width and length of the cargo area as well.

[@devinbender8428]

Both 2 door and 4 door are around 4’ Wide 2 door is 2’ long 4 door is 3’ long

[@mechmat12345]

Way bigger than a Wrangler. The Wrangler has a narrow cabin, so it's actually much worse in those measurements.

[@ELmeinz]

@@mechmat12345 that's good to know. I never liked the wrangler due to its small interior and cargo space

[@kevinfortin3398]

@@mechmat12345 Yea, if someone were to look at it that way it would only just prove how much more room the Bronco has anyway.

[@Fierrosporcelular]

I don't remember such amount of journalist enthusiasm for a new car. Not Just Carlos, all of them. It's pretty obvious the thing is great. But also, looks like Ford is working its "magic"... Checking the features, 95% of them can be coupled with the "like in the Jeep" or "like Toyota's" phrases. Anyway, I love the new Bronco. And competition can only improve the vehicles, and benefit the consumers.

[@capitanmau3411]

So how big is the Broncos cargo for a 4 door???

[@MandusahRamirez]

The Chevy Blazer Could’ve Been Competing In This Segment Too! The Trailblazer Can’t Even Compete With A Bronco Sport.. Also It’d Be Cool If Toyota Builds A 2 Door 4Runner Option!

[@901pics]

You'd have to be out of your mind to buy this vehicle at this price point against other options.

[@reho7387]

Ford did an excellent job of updating the vehicle but not losing the original flavor. Ford will sell a lot of these vehicles. Someone at Ford is making the right decisions. The Mustang MachE outselling the ICE version. Who woulda thunk.

[@bonvaicu]

My built week is June 28.. I haven’t talk with my dealer, I only emailed them with my specs and confirm it. How does the process go- I pay sticker price when my Bronco arrived at the dealership. Base, no Sasquatch, V6, hard top- San Jose CA

[@zonacrs]

They should honor the build and price at the time of order, minus any current active incentives. If they don't, walk away and they will have to return your deposits as soon as they sell it. DO NOT pay any mark ups/market adjustments unless you agreed to them up front. If you have a firm contract price don't pay any more unless there was a disclaimer stating the price may change. I ordered an F150 back in November and my dealer honored the price as well as a trade incentive for my 2007 Tundra when it showed up in April.

[@firstnamelastname9661]

Question: can the MIC top be painted Or wrapped in different color ???

[@caflet2009]

Both

[@AzureStarline]

So the Bronco needs premium fuel but the Wrangler uses regular? And what damage does the Sasquatch Package do to fuel economy? 🧐

[@wheelgun5102]

Actually to get top power it needs premium, but regular you only lose 10 to 20hp

[@PHILDRICK]

That’s it. I’m gonna buy a bronco

[@tigerbalm666]

I liked the new colors better than Jeeps! I still has a 2002 Liberty for the rare Salsa Red color.

[@reedlaww]

1:41 into the video your numbers are wrong. I don’t know if this press event had mimosas but like half of the reviews the speakers can’t get the numbers right. 4cyl has 270hp/310tq. 6cyl has 310hp/400tq. Straight off fords website.

[@CarlosLago]

Ford provides power figures with and without premium fuel. The ones shown in the video are with premium, and the ones you have are without premium.

[@gerainthopkins7576]

would love this in Australia

[@dirtycommtroop]

I might lease a base model 2 door with manual trans for a weekend driver.

[@MrK133n]

I hate the blue trim and stitching on the mid-level trims, and that the heated steering wheel is part of the $5000 Lux package.

[@Jay-hr3rh]

What was the name tag for bro?

[@aarontharris]

I'm sure the Bronco is great, but what I find really annoying is how we get such a biased opinion in these reviews. Not saying Carlos is biased, but when Ford sends you on a custom tailored course and the doors are off and you're having fun on the trails, of course the reviews are going to be positive... What we really want to see is a side by side trail comparison with the Rubicon, or even the Xtreme Recon.

[@brysonrodden5112]

I want a 2 door manual but I really hope in the coming years they put it with the 2.7 V6. Hopefully it is just one of things they limited for launch due to the expected demand

[@_lukecruzhuisman]

Y’all are making me want to buy one. And a Mazda 3 turbo. Ugh.

[@prideperformaceproductions]

"The mirror and window switches are here because you can take the doors off." But the motors and regulators are still in the doors and still require a plug.

[@devinbender8428]

If you have the window switches in the driver door. Then you would have all 3 other window wires. So by keeping the switches in the center. Less wires.

[@JDawgstwothousand]

While I wouldn’t buy - it seems like a very well thought out car - and I appreciate that

[@AB-wl1fg]

Awesome review! How’s Ford in terms of reliability?

[@72cut87]

Have a 2011 f150 with 215000 miles on it, no major problems, some minor stuff

[@patmajia3481]

I don't see the point in most people discussing competition with Jeeps. How many people out there are really making a living in off road racing or competition? Some of us don't try to go over rocks, or go into pits; we avoid them. Ford corporation can discuss how to gain market share from Jeep if they like. Why does anyone else care? People buy what they like and can afford weighing their belief in product quality, proximity to dealers or competent service and size of family, etc.

[@gryphon123456]

Wow. Making the wrangler look stupid and uninspired. They did a good job paying attention to all the shortfalls of the wrangler and just making it better. Good job Ford.

[@Grizazzle]

We'll see what's stupid and uninspired when the Bronco's fancy and unnecessary high-tech driving modes and gimmicks breakdown on the trail. Probably good for those that never take it off road, but I'm betting the Wrangler will still best it in that arena.

[@sd-yk9sq]

how is the wind noise with hard top + sound deadening material compared to wrangler jl hard top?

[@mechmat12345]

He said it's quieter than a Wrangler but louder than a typical SUV in the video.

[@jethrobodine4638]

good video....looks nice...if one could ever get one??? i have mine reserved now for a year.....and i am a 3 day res and jan. order. not heard anything from Ford other than apology emails once a month. thank God i went to the East Bronco event and at least rode in one. I am a long time Ford owner, but not too happy with Ford presently, to the point i am now looking to buy a new F150 Lariat for now as i am sure no Bronco will be in my driveway before 2022 and maybe 2023?? who knows??

[@richardthomas1531]

INFORMATION CENTER in the wrangler is yrs ahead.Engine could be as much as 200hp more than Bronco. However since Ford had the chance to copy Jeep. Disconnecting sway bar, front and rear lockers.Doors and Top comes off .So no doubts Ford will put out a 5,0 V8 to compete with the Hemi 392 in the wrangler.

[@foreverautoenthusiast6585]

I guess $50k for a nice vehicle is normal these day. I remember when $25k got a really nice new car.

[@winds1010]

Inflation my friend

[@TreesOnTheBeach]

You lost me "at the Wrangler has 32 cubic feet [of trunk space], regardless of the number of doors it has." Umm... two door and four door Wranglers have a drastically different amount of trunk space available.
