[@zoltore23]

Honestly, I miss the breakdown of each category in the Doug Score. It was interesting to see WHY Doug gave each score.

[@lego4virgo]

I think the issue with the score is that in some instances, things like weekend fun and a few others, probably didn't make much sense since that's not the intended reason for a specific car's existence.

[@parkerhill9725]

Yeah but I wish he did it in strict reference to a category, like acceleration, styling, pricing and so on should be scored relative to the class of car they belong to.

[@frogturtle]

Yeah...that is true but I think he could just have different scoring tables for different vehicle types, and then walk through each category like before. I suspect another reason he stopped was to save time per video. But I agree it would be nice to have it back

[@huzzzer6083]

@@frogturtle Pretty much every single video of his is 20+ minutes. He definitely didn't do it to save time.

[@lego4virgo]

@@parkerhill9725 Yeah, I think if you do it relative to that car's specific category, that could possibly work. It's funny to score a base Kia Optima as low because it doesn't have the same 'fun appeal' as a Kia Stinger, when both cars are designed for specific purposes.

One of the things I love about Ford is that they usually do think about just about everything their customers could want in their vehicles. They always deliver, and with the revived Bronco's I've been pretty much nothing but impressed. Hope to own one some day, would prefer a Bronco over a F150!

I'm really glad they toned down the graphics on the Bronco Raptor. I have a 2017 150 Raptor with no side vinyls and no tailgate plate and I think it looks super clean, but these are much more subtle than the optional graphics/badging on the truck and still look nice without being too over the top.

The tucked in exhaust pipes is well thought out for those of us who offroad where there's rocks and gullies. Drive down the gully and as you start the clime on the other side, the rear of the vehicle can hit the rocks you just went down.

You don't, but less wires to disconnect when the doors are removed. The less you have in the door, the lighter the doors to handle and also less to get damaged when they are removed etc. It's just a smarter move

[@vaibhavbyreddy]

I think its arguable, because you still need signal and power wires leaving the door anyway, and arguably the switches dont add to the weight of the door, the motor and mechanism is heavy. Simplifying the door is a smart move though, I'd probably do the same but its interesting.

Right now there is a recall on Broncos, engines are blowing up 😂🔥

[@robertmorin6495]

Where did you get that information? Here's all I found from Car and Driver website I have pasted the article below: NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation is looking into complaints that owners' 2021 Ford Bronco SUVs suddenly stopped running and would not restart. The cause is believed to be a possible valve defect in the 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine, which is standard on the 2021 Bronco Wildtrak and optional on most other models. The safety agency received three separate petitions in March 2022 requesting the investigation, which could lead to a recall if the results warrant one. The ultra-popular Ford Bronco is now being investigated for a possible recall after 32 owners complained that their 2021 model SUVs stopped running suddenly and would not restart. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Office of Defects Investigation is currently at the stage of reviewing three separate petitions filed in March asking for an investigation into the issue. told Car and Driver in a statement: "We are aware of a select number of engines with this concern and we are investigating. If any customers are experiencing issues, they will be covered under the vehicle's five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. We will cooperate with the NHTSA as we always do." NHTSA says 25,538 Broncos are potentially affected, although there is no recall on the horizon at this point. Owners can check the NHTSA recalls site to see if their vehicle becomes subject to a recall. I read this as NO RECALL. So ...what are you talking about? Probably just a bunch of pissed off Jeep lovers complaining or trying to disparage Ford in my opinion.

Literally the most aftermarket parts you could think of, and it is also smaller so it can get into more places. The one thing it's missing is a stick shift option. Otherwise you've still got the much cheaper 4XE to think about as well, or just a Rubicon with a V6. The engine is worth the extra money, why do you think people pay 10K plus for diesels in the new HD trucks?

Well you can’t blame them when it costs 70+k. Why would you risk damaging it

[@Teddingtin]

@@timschultes6467 Maybe don't buy an expensive off-road tailored vehicle if you're scared of damaging it and don't even plan on using it for its intended purpose.

@@Teddingtin I’m just saying if they were cheaper more people would probably be a little more daring. Who has a hundred grand to just buy another one

In a recent video titled "2022 Ford Bronco Raptor, 1st. look off-roading in Johnson Valley, CA." shows the 12" full-screen display with two tire markers on the screen. I assume that there is a mode that activates that feature. I noticed that it was not talked about in this video but well worth mentioning.

[@senshibat8920]

The chip shortages take the jaguar temp on dial off you.. But the split screen shared to Land Rover works well here. The only Reg they forgot was a Heavy Cargo net feature we had to do for Military Willys jeeps.

[@mikeaninger7388]

First thing I saw, angle of approach is gigantic! The second thing I saw, I think departure is the same!

After 3 years of ownership and the standard 36k miles, both this and the 392 Jeep will hold their value better than most import cars at the same price point

[@waynepalmer7966]

Another great review Doug. You made my decision b/w the wrangler 392 and the ford raptor much easier.

[@WTF-sh4is]

Unbelievable that Ford actually went with the name Bronco Raptor. Can’t wait for the Mustang T-Rex…

[@bigdoge]

I love Broncos ❤ Happy Ford is continuing it!

[@snasuage]

Dougs the kind of guy to always talk about off-roading and to make videos of off roading and then criticize ford for tucking in the exhaust

[@robertf3340]

Very nice and thorough review, less then off road portion. Maybe I missed it in the video but did you happen to mention fuel numbers and I assume it requires super unleaded?

[@meyer7312]

that was the strongest "this" intro I've seen in a while. well done

[@christianbolt5761]

I actually like the look of the standard Bronco with Sasquatch pkg.. Also the width actually limits it on certain trains.

[@OMG_No_Way]

Nailed it. I was going to get a Braptor. Was first on list at my dealer. But after off-roading my Bsdlands SAS many times. I can’t justify how wide the Raptor is. Many trails we do, my Badlands barely fits. Being wider would be a huge problem.

[@myrrhavm]

You’re correct. Mini/mid size trucks have taken over the trails long with the side by side so brush has grown in making them narrower.

[@burgerbandit3646]

Don't forget guys, the Raptor name is *BAJA* related. The Bronco Raptor is more suited to Baja type offroading while still being a somewhat reasonable trail runner. Hence why it's so wide.

[@senpai2718]

3 dot light is the most coolest regulation ever made

[@SkraightSix]

Can imagine this is gonna hold it’s value pretty well

[@ben3304]

Maybe, but F150s and Raptors do very well. In fact, Raptors hold their value better than any other mass produced car, of any kind.

[@TURBOMIKEIFY]

My little sister got a Badlands last year after I.... crashed her Fiat (long story and I was understood and forgiven). It's the street version, but damn is that thing a fantastic drive, and MASSIVE! She already hit objects (cart holders in parking lots, other cars etc) when she got it, due to it being her first SUV. She didn't use the front camera until I showed her that she had one. I'm actually trying to save to get one now. 2 door with a manual though.

[@meditationguru7860]

This is good, they nailed it with this raptor . we need this in Africa😂

At your local supermarket or mall parking lot soon. :)

[@eli5831]

What a beast, so dope!!

[@RoySpero]

This looks sick, wish it was released in Australia

[@PerunaCox]

The reason the exhaust is tucked up and hidden is for rock crawling purposes so you do not crush them from rocks.

[@pinut187]

No shit, Sherlock. Doug knows this too but wants people like you to comment🧐 more comments = better for Doug. Are you new to the channel?

[@PerunaCox]

@@pinut187 in the video he said he wished they the exhaust system more cosmetic and didn’t understand why they simply had the exhaust cut off high up which led to my explanation. And just because Doug owns a couple defenders and a gwagon doesn’t mean he knows everything about off-roading especially rock crawling as he has never done extreme rock crawling with his vehicles understandably so
