Debunking Ford Bronco MYTHS! True or False

[@Vintage_GenX]

New owner of the 24 Wildtrack.... LOVE IT ! The one thing that surprised me is the amazing turning radius... thought it would have a more limited radius, but the thing turns on a dime

[@Johnnyscarcarereviews]

Now thst is a great point to add. Marie loves the turning radius and use to be all about the Ford F150 but now only wants to drive the Bronco and part of that is due to the turning radius. Extremely easy to park

Great review! I drove a Wrangler JKUR on 35s for 7 years, it got 14-15 MPG. Ive had my Bronco for 1500 miles so its not really even broken in and I'm getting 17MPG. If someone is concerned about MPG the Bronco isn't for them. This is a lifestyle vehicle, not a Toyota Sienna, a brick will not fly the same distance as a frisbee given the same driving force. Same can be said for noise, any convertible will be louder then the solid top counterpart. Road noise in my Jeep with the hard top was 83db, soft top was 84db. Bronco is 72db, so it is much quieter. My Jeep was unbearable to have a conversation at 60-65mph, Bronco I have absolutely no issues with conversation. Bluetooth phone calls were impossible in my Jeep, yet the Bronco I don't have any issues on a call at 65mph. Audio is another one. I compete and judge IASCA sound quality. The audio isn't the best tonality and stage height are pretty decent, the sound depth isn't horrible. unfortunately sound is very subjective so most people associate good sound to being able to hear the hi-hat sound or the sharp high frequencies. Nothing wrong with that as subjective mattes are opinion based.

Good video. No car is perfect. My 2022 Black Diamond was trouble free when I traded it for a 2023 Badlands after owning it for 10 months. I got the Badlands last September and so far it has been trouble free. Averaging 17 to 18 mpg on the Badlands with the 2.7 engine. Did get 21 on a trip, but it is a heavy vehicle, so you won’t see great gas mileage. Overall I am happy with my Bronco and enjoy driving it.

[@Johnnyscarcarereviews]

Gilbertferguson1685 those are excellent real world experiences shared with our community. Thank you

[@timschultes6467]

We own a 23 heritage 4 door and the tires are not noisy at all. I was actually surprised how quiet it is with 35” tires. The sound system isn’t the worst it’s not the best but definitely not the worst.

[@chrischandler-n1o]

Good information. I have a 23 Badlands, no issues. Road noise is not a problem. I did replace speakers in front. I have 10k on mine and have averaged 18 mpg

[@Johnnyscarcarereviews]

Thank you for the support amd for the real world experiences shared

[@blackfacecastro-trudeau]

After 2600kms of ownership on my 24 wildtrak I agree with your debunking. Some wind noise and noise with the hard top but not bad, tires aren’t loud but chuck rocks bad if you’re on gravel, fuel mileage is decent for having 35’s, handling and turning radius is excellent, I way prefer it to my f150 for going to the city-I live in the country so most of my driving is 110 km/hr highway driving

[@Johnnyscarcarereviews]

Lol. Your name makes me laugh but should make me cry. Our Prime minister is literally a joke and creates laws that should make us cry but for now I'll try to keep laughing. Thank you for the real world experiences shared woth our community

[@vanweaver6386]

I daily drive a 24 Hardtop Wildtrack and get 20mpg in Washington, DC stop and go traffic. The B&O sound system is awesome!

Vanweaver, thank you for the feedback

I was born in Maine.My Dad was in the Air Force,so we left Maine when I was around 3.Never been back.Safe travels and thanks for for sharing this video with us. And Hello 👋 to Marie and your daughter from Buffalo 🦬,NY

[@Johnnyscarcarereviews]

Howdy Tom Dinder. Maine is awesome and so is New Hampshire. However, one day we want to buy something really small in Florida. The USA has amazing geography. Marie and the little one say hi back and thank you for the support

[@Doze320]

I'm sorry but I'm finding it hard to believe you were getting 9-10 mpg better that what the manufacturer advertised. Especially driving in the mountains with "a heavy foot".

[@Johnnyscarcarereviews]

I might have forgotten to share the photo but in the mountains it is very doable during a long section of slow descent as we went from New Hampshire mountains down to old orchard Maine. I've got a Bronco mileage specific video coming g with lots of proof provided but also more up a up down mountainous region and flats

[@GSXRKLLR]

The stereo is very subjective, I thought the B&O in my Raptor was bad enough that I replaced the whole system with a custom one, happy now still have the braptor and now i have a great stereo!

[@Johnnyscarcarereviews]

It is one of the rare times I'll tell people that if you do t like the base systeme you probably want like the B and O amd should just swap out the standard system. All other Ford models have a great B and O system

[@micahrichey5335]

I love my 22 Bronco Badlands 2.3l-7mt, soft top! It’s fun to drive everywhere everyday.

[@Johnnyscarcarereviews]

Thank you for sharing some real world knowledge with us

[@Johnnyscarcarereviews]

I drove the manual recently.And it is absolutely incredible transmission. I absolutely love the feeling of how it shifts. It's smooth without feeling too loose

[@leonardkeesler9118]

I have a 21 Badlands Sasquatch luxury tow package. 40k miles . SINCE new .

[@Johnnyscarcarereviews]

That is a good amount of mileage. How has your ownership experience been

[@mabcim]

Nice to see Marie and the baby. But was hoping to see Tim, Sarah and ridgview as well.

[@Johnnyscarcarereviews]

We only had 1 photo together, but we had a lot of talk and fun together

[@frankkeel8410]

Went to a lot of events in the late seventys in my 75 corvette roadster. The white mountain's back then was clean crisp air.

[@SpaceTech54]

Let The truth Be Told!!! This is the World's Best Off-Road Truck/SUV {OK - I Have one and love it!} - Compare it to an SUV/Jeep - not with a Luxury Sedan.. :) Great Video.

[@Johnnyscarcarereviews]

Spacetech54 that is an excellent point. We can't compare this to a luxury SUV that costs around 2x as much

[@ramonahumada4]

What’s up! Love my Broncos and I am getting crazy MPG when I cruise. I get mid 20s to 31 MPG on my base 2 door with the 2.3 automatic, if I drive carefully not exceeding 65 MPH. My 2021 4door Badlands with 2.7 Sasquatch gets me 18 to 24 MPG.

[@Johnnyscarcarereviews]

Awesome real world experiences shared ramonahunada4. Thank you for taking the time to share with our community

[@evanimdorf5380]

@@ramonahumada4 Do you feel like it is underpowered compared to your other one, 2025 model is brining back the base 2dr i am thinking about getting one. My wife and I currently have a 4dr big bend soft top with 2.7L.

[@ramonahumada4]

I feel that the 2.3, 2 door base is faster. That little engine is no joke! I do have the paddle commander on both Broncos and that cuts down on turbo lag.

[@evanimdorf5380]

@@ramonahumada4 Thank You! With what I have planned for my Bronco, I am better off with the Base Bronco. With the 2025 getting the Rapter dash display and Ford moving to the 12” radio. it will have what I want without all the extra items I couldn’t care less about.

[@Kendkend]

For someone who will rarely offroad, like once a month or less, and is buying is for fun and open air freedom which one would you recommend. We do want heated seats and steering and as low road noise as possible. Thanks

[@Johnnyscarcarereviews]

I'd recommend an Outerbanks, unless you like the offroad look in which case a Bandlands or any Sasquatch model will do. Other option is Big Bend and add a lift and bigger tires

[@Kendkend]

@@Johnnyscarcarereviews 32, 33, or 35 inch tires? Which ones in your experience have the least road noise. I was thinking it would be 32.

I have a 23 outer banks sasquatch with 1900miles on it and I only get 16mpg in normal mode.

[@Johnnyscarcarereviews]

I was having the same problem and now know it's 100% due to the city driving and how heavy I am on the pedal during stop amd go. 1cm of pedal down means I'm loosing my sister in law as she follows in her KIA. It's as if my 1cm down is lime her beating on her suv as her power is all high end and well the Bronco has incredible low end torque
