Do I Regret Buying My Bronco? 1 Year/17,000 Miles Later...

[@d-unit-outdoors]

From a Jeep guy, that is a sweet bronco! I don’t get all the Bronco hate from Jeep groups, I love Tacos, Broncos and all of that!

Same! My uncle has a JL and it’s sick. I’m excited seeing any well built and cool looking car/truck no matter the brand

They hate it because they overpaid for their basic Jeep lol

[@OGStoneVegas]

as a jeep guy, I have one reason to dislike the bronco... the shitty engine options I'm a 2014 GT owner, put a 5.0 under the hood of the bronco the same way jeep put a 392 under the hood of a rubicon, and we'll talk

[@BradleyJokerst]

My biggest piece of advice to anyone looking to get into a Bronco is that if you want to save some money, and don’t plan on doing serious wheeling or off-roading, get a base with no lockers and mod it up to your hearts delight. My base, lifted, with 35’s did every major pass in the San Juan Mtns of Colorado with NO issues. 4LO, air down and crawl control is all you need in most situations. My biggest negative is just how cheap the interior feels. I came from a GX that was so solid in so many ways. I’m going on 1 year ownership and nearly sold my Bronco for an LX. But I’m going to hold on for a little longer.

[@duckdave6409]

3:08 I’ve put 17,000 miles on my base Sasquatch that I paid $38,000 (plan D) for, in 9 months! Absolutely trouble free. It’s a daily driver and gets up to 23 mpg. The 2.7 has enough torque to just loaf along if you want to. It’s my fourth Ford in a row. All bought new. None of them have ever needed any repairs!❤🤘😎🤘👍

[@evorider4133]

So I have a 2 door 2022 WildTrak. Got it after waiting for what seemed like an eternity. I was an original reservation holder in 2020. It came in September of 2022. Mods, diode dynamics pocket lights. Arb on board dual air compressor. Bullet mounting solutions dash mount. Midland GMRS radio. Dash cam front and rear by THINKWARE from ford. An oil catch can. And some other small silly things. Para cord grab handles and the such. I have 11,000 miles on it and absolutely love the truck. Only problem I had was panel alignment from the factory. And as you stated I haven’t had to use 4x4 when off road all but a few times. It is a beast both on and off road. I love it. I am a ford person so maybe I’m biased.

[@seanflahockey]

Nice set up for what I want to do upon retirement to spend the entire summer out west flyfishing. Basically not to rock crawl but be able to transverse all the dirt and gravel trails throughout Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. I won’t need a winch for that. Do love my WildTrak two-door. Came over from a ‘21 Rubicon and being a long-term Jeep guy. You’re right on the comfort aspect.

[@robertlinva9503]

Very good synopsis. I appreciate right up front that you said how you use it (daily driver, fire access roads, gravel, etc). That helped provide context for your observations. Good job

[@FordFan01]

Was going through my old photos, i was one of the guys at Americas Tire in West Sac that installed your 37s! Was working there while going to school. Small world lol. Recognized the white tow hooks and the same wheel/tires with the steps. Made me order one of my own lol. Tried to go through Future while I still lived in Sac but they were trying to say they couldn’t guarantee no markup when it arrived to which I said no thanks. Ordered mine in my home town area and got it lower than MSRP with my employee discount (ended up getting hired as a Diesel technician there!). Been loving my Bronco!

[@johndanasy]

Be careful when you open the tailgate with the rotopax on, you can’t open it more than 90 degrees, but RTR has an adjustable tailgate limiter. It’s just not for me, so I decided to take it off rather than to risk breaking the tail light.

[@JacobRDoty]

I've seen that! Maybe we'd have to go with flush-mount tail lights too... I'll have to test it!

[@RonaldMurga316]

I just traded in my mustang and got a bronco obx. Perfect time to find out about your Channel

[@EverettStout]

Nice job on your review. Lot's of great info! I've had my O.B. for 16 months and absolutely love it! No issues what so ever either! Yes, the carplay once in a while, but never a big deal. Being my first 4WD, I couldn't wait to do the OffRoadeo (TX). That was super informative and a huge help for me. Since then I've done Overlanding Expo, SuperCel., and numerous camping trips. It rides smooth and comfortable, and the sound system is awesome as well. Not sure why it gets bad reviews on that... I look forward to many upgrades, including a RTT! Now, if I could just get it to rain money!! Cheers to the community as well!

[@adamweber1545]

You made an excellent decision on upgrading your tires with BFG KM3s.

[@jsnow6925]

Just a tip with the bolster, put a seat cover with a thin cushion under it. Saves that seat then don't have to be paranoid about in and out

[@dirtycommtroop]

I test drove one recently. It's a cool vehicle but i feel like once the novelty wears off and you're stuck with the payments and driving it every day it gets old fast. Wranglers are the same way. I'd advise anyone seriously looking for either to wait for a good deal on a used one and keep it as a weekend driver. This will definitely benefit anyone who wants really offroad it.

[@knifelover89]

I disagree. I love my bronco on and off the road. It has been a fantastic family car. Two littles under the age of 2. It has great horsepower and torque. It rides great and I’m in love. Never been satisfied with my vehicles jeeps, trucks, other suvs but this one hit the sweet spot for me.

[@gregaloisi6062]

My only problem with this type of vehicle is the price. Yes you can get cheaper trim levels but the fact that even the higher trim levels are 60 k plus is crazy to me. I have an outer banks Sasquatch on order that has a build date in less then a month. I test drove a wildtrak and thought it was cool but I thought it wasn't 65k cool because everything is just basic to me. My build comes right at 60K and I'm 25 and make decent money but I just picked up a second job just so I can save another 10-15 grand in the next 6 month just so I can put a decent down payment on it and still feel comfortable. I'm still not 100% sold that I'm going to get it just because of the payment I will have, even with 20% down l'm looking at over $800 just for the payment depending on the interest rate. If the higher end Broncos were about 20K less then it's a no brainer I think 40K for that type of car is reasonable. That goes for jeeps, Tacoma's, ETC.The price for cars nowadays is insane and it sucks for me in my 20s who would love to have a nice car but had to pay the price for it. I make about 60 to 70 a year. Any advice is appreciated.

[@chiefenumclaw7960]

As someone with a finance background. Don't do it. Especially if you have to finance a large portion of it with today's high interest rates. If you have to take a 2nd job to make your payments, you will grow to despise the vehicle. Because instead of going off-roading, you're stuck at work. At that point you don't own the vehicle, the vehicle owns you. Good news: rates will come down within the next 24 months. Vehicle prices will come down (currently everybody has too much Gov't $$$ from Covid stimulus which is why cars are so expensive. Once this money runs out things will get more reasonable.) Put your down payment into a 5-6% CD and comeback in 2 years for your Bronco.

[@gregaloisi6062]

@@chiefenumclaw7960 thanks for the reply. The second job isn’t for the payment it’s just to save another 10-15k. I have 22k In the bank and by the end of summer with a bonus I’m getting I’ll have about 28k and my reasoning to save that much more is so I can put a decent down payment and still have like a 6 month to a year emergency fund for whatever. When housing goes down I want to buy a place possibly a duplex so I can rent out the other side. So once the Bronco came in I would quit the second job. I’m all about preparation and don’t do anything stupid unless I really think about things.

[@gregaloisi6062]

Yes, I agree. I know it is a stupid decision and I’m not 100% going through with it just yet. It depends if I can find a good interest rate and how much I want to put down.

So don't wait and use 4x4 as recovery. 4x4 should be your default off pavement and you just don't need recovery. There's an element of 4x4 and momentum that gets you through mud and sand.

I didn't know there was a bronco wave now! 😂

[@slee6261]

The B&O Sound system should be standard equipment

[@miguelmadriz2880]

What area of Cali are you from ? I got a 13 mustang gt so I would like to go to an event you got to and see your mustang

[@DanVanDamme]

I'm so tempted to trade in my 2019 F150 Lariat for a new Bronco! Great review!

[@JacobHussBalt]

Cna you make a series of KZbin Shorts of the immediate modifications you would make to different models? I.E. First 5 Affordable F150 upgrades you would make?

[@JacobRDoty]

I have some knowledge about the F150 platforms, but I don't actually own one... maybe I can find someone local? It's a good idea though!

[@abhijit-sarkar]

The video is more about modifying the vehicle than the experience with it after the first year. I’m considering a Bronco as my next vehicle and this video doesn’t help me decide whether or not it’s worth buying.

[@RodneyBryant-g8l]

Jacob, good looking set up. I added the Hooke Road rack. I see you have an attachment on the front lower for wind. Where did you pick that up? Trying to cut some noise from mine. Thanks

[@jiblyjably]

Why do you guys with lots of money to modify, not buy a second pair of road tires?

[@OutbackExotics]

I think it’s bc they can always buy another set of off-road tires and bc they don’t want to keep taking them on and off

[@jiblyjably]

@@OutbackExotics it’s worth swapping for better ride and fuel economy

[@OutbackExotics]

I agree but there probably lazy lol

[@RobBarnard-m4f]

Like the video, but I didn’t hear what size engine

[@clevelandaglennable]

Beautiful BRONCO! What type of lift & is it a bolt on lift?

[@JointheScene1337]

What is your tint %s?

[@jeube8198]

I’m 6’1/6’2”, when I sat in a bronco, I felt the windshield was short. Another words if I was first at a stoplight, I’d have to lean forward to see if the light had changed. What has been your experience?

[@devonquinn8750]

I'm 5'10" and noticed something similar just yesterday. I'm going to try lowering my seat and playing around with the recliner setting to see if it makes a difference.

[@JacobRDoty]

Hmm I actually tested that the other day just by moving my seat around. I noticed I wasn’t really affected but my body can be “unique” haha. I have really long legs and a shorter torso so maybe I actually sit lower than most 6’1” guys?

[@A619D]

What is the full tire size? 12.5?

[@MichaelZihmer]

Nicely done ! I Wouldn't do anything differently.

[@jaswett]

This is a video about mods with a title about owning a specific trim. I’m off to make a video about water polo that I plan to title volleyball.

[@NickKolar-px2px]

Has it been problematic? Needing to be repaired?

[@Mustangg16]

Guy I work with just picked up a new one last week. Traded in his 2021 explorer st, big mistake I think because his new bronco is just plain ugly. Plus he went from $800. A month to $1000 a month. And the explorer st was a bad ass vehicle could easily keep up with my gt. I'm glad you like it...

[@JacobRDoty]

Yeah depends on personal finances and use case. I don’t care about being fast in my Bronco. I’m very fortunate to have a separate purpose-built car for that. If you’re only able to have one vehicle to rule them all, just depends on what’s most important

[@Mustangg16]

@JacobRDoty not me I have my mustang and have 2 other older 4wd vehicles for fun

[@JacobRDoty]

@@Mustangg16 I agree - have a few dedicated vehicles if you're fortunate enough to. I wouldn't want an F250 diesel to commute to SF in (wouldn't go to SF anyway lol), but it could do it. Just gotta find the best collection that hits all your uses!

[@theghost75]

Nice story walkthrough
