First Time Off-Road | Ford Bronco Owners Review

[@stephenhendricks103]

The video deserves an award for a combination of useful information and entertainment. Great job, folks.

[@MicahMuzio]

You're very kind, Stephen. Cheers!

[@JD-ey8hw]

This feels like a secret advertisement for Cactus Gray...and its working.

[@Mamo878]

Yeah, a version with the front-facing camera would be pretty nice to have if you do a fair amount of off-roading. And having an off-road recovery kit is a *must.*

[@eto2352]

Just a quick tip: never put your thumbs inside the steering wheel - grab the wheel with thumbs on top. If you hit a rock or hole, a hard jerk of the wheel can break your thumbs

[@tracygraham5379]

Glad to know my Ford Ranger, even though not a Tremor, can hold its’ own with the Bronco. Cool ride Micah!

[@billredding2000]

...glad to know my Gladiator Rubicon can "hold its own" out there also. ;-) -- BR

[@ndawg79]

So nice to see those big beautiful smiles on all of you. I am looking forward to more videos of course. Big hugs to you all

[@MicahMuzio]

Hugs right back at ya!

[@SDunsmore444]

Mike Levine is THE MAN!!!!!!!

[@mkim8860]

Mr.Levine's voice is so amazing.. like a voice actor or TV show host!

[@salicrupa]

I am pretty sure I saw you guys riding to make this video on US 395. I was riding my motorcycle and gestured to you. I have the same BRONCO ordered and yours was the first I saw in the wild. Thanks for sharing!

[@MicahMuzio]

Yup. That very well could've been us. 👋

[@gothops154]

This thing looks sweet. I would be interested in getting one without paying dealer markup, already expensive enough with MSRP. Love how your spec turned out. Hope to see more cool stuff like this

[@MicahMuzio]

We had a great experience with Norm Reeves Ford in Cerritos. No markup or other weirdness with our Bronco order.

[@salicrupa]

There is a file that Ford shared with dealers that are and are not adding "market adjustment" I also called and asked the dealer before ordering. My dealer, Advantage Ford in Duarte, CA sent their pledge to not add mark up on email.

[@juansequeirabaquero1780]

What a gorgeous place!

[@yadthink]

Big thumbs up to Mike for leading the way and bringing the drone. Ooh, the drone footage was awesome!

[@speedfiend925]

Micah: Now remember when off-roading slow and steady wins the race. Me: FULL THROTTLE ACCELERATION!!!! WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@joelbosso1331]

Mike looks like the live action version of Mr. Duke from the Doonesbury comics...and I mean this as a compliment.

[@Eviedish]

I spent a bizarre amount of time reading those comics as a child and I totally agree!

[@newenglandstacker]

Wish my wife liked this thing...

[@SD07BIKER]

Same! My wife's idea of outdoors is walking around Disneyland...

[@waltbest8260]

Ditto! Mine (and I live her dearly) is a hotel without room service.

[@Kyrag98]

I have been waiting for this video all week! thank you Muzio family

[@MicahMuzio]

Thanks for joining us!

[@sterlingburk3790]

great video! I think this proves to me that you don't need Lockers to go out, off road, and have a kick ass day. Base model it is for me.

[@nukeim]

Absolutely LOVE the family review style. This is the best. Because...Well...Most of us have a family. Their needs are important too. How is the comfort in the rear seat? I'm concerned because there are no AC vents in the rear of the console. It's a concern for me lol

[@waltbest8260]

Great video and what a wonderful family! Thanks for sharing.

[@nettejean5912]

Thanks for sharing! This was great. Looks like so much fun and so scenic. It’s nice that you were able to go with someone with experience.

[@waynek848]

Cool video! Cannot wait to get mine. BB, Cactus, SAS, Hardtop. Currently built but stuck waiting for the new top...Congrats on yours!

[@MicahMuzio]

The hard top issue is frustrating but man, once that’s solved you’re going to love your Bronco. 🤘

[@bkang8874]

Hi Micah, Great review! Any regret not getting 2.7 engine? Was it powerful enough for your off-roading?

[@MicahMuzio]

Zero regret so far getting the 2.3L. It has plenty of power on and off road…though I reserve the right to change my mind once I drive the 2.7L. 😁

[@ytfvr9705]

Congrats guys!

[@mkim8860]

Nice to meet you. I am an owner of 2020 Ford Explorer 2.3 V4 limited SUV. Have you been ride Explorer? Compare to Explorer, Could you please tell me about the Bronco? Is it better than Explorer?

[@Mi82475]

Cool stuff! I'm not at all an off road guy but this was nice. Happy for you.

[@GISJIng]

✋ Muzios! Way to go Evie!

[@scottruhl4710]

One of your best videos.

[@flimgenco]

Nice footage! Great to see vids of the Bronco actually going on trails. 😁

[@heathwellsNZ]

I'm curious... are those "recovery boards" genuine Max Trax or a US clone version?

[@JorgeSaenz1913]

I’m glad I went with Cactus Gray, it looks so good! Sep 13 is the manufacturing date for mine. Excited!

[@machintruc3132]

stupid question for you, could a roof top-tent be installed on a four door ford bronco? the dinension of the roof top tent would be 78.5`` long by 55.5 `` wide. thank you for your answer.

[@jessiebullock]

As someone who likes to detail my own car, all I’m thinking about is the wash after you get home.

[@georgehurtado9196]

Can you at least give everyone a hint where this place is? I want to take my Subaru Forester there!

[@mikerlevine]

You could totally take your Forester here. There’s only one or two tricky spots for a crossover. It’s a nice beginners trail if you’ve never wheeled before and want to learn the basics of four-wheel drive controls, tire placement on rocks and how to cross water.

[@mathiasmilne]

Evie, do you find you have about the same, a or lot less, amount of room to put junk the trunk in Bronco compared to the CRV? My wife loves all the stuff we can cram into the CRV when going to the cottage, but true 4 wheeling capability would nice over the all wheel drive of the CRV

[@Eviedish]

The biggest difference for me so far is that my Bronco does not have a horizontal trunk divider the way my CR-V does. That said, I have not had an occasion where I have been unable to fit what I need back there.

[@theMLBfan]

That drone really did get some impressive footage. You might have to start saving up for one.

[@StewartHines]

Holy smokes, it's like an extended universe! You guys ridding around with Mike. Next thing I know you'll be doing stuff with TFL.

[@franciscorortiz]

Nice place to visit. And of course, nice vehicle. Enjoy

[@Sami-rp7mf]

What kind of Satellite communicator is that? Please post link. Keep up the vids. TY

[@DavidHenningmusic]

Garmin InReach Explorer. There's a few different versions with various levels of features. I have the InReach Explorer Plus. Definitely worth the peace of mind.

[@jonathonnordyke5370]

i wont say but i know exactly where yall went!! love it there!

[@broncofun5636]

Great presentation. How did the cloth seats hold up with the trail dust?

[@MicahMuzio]

So far, so good. But we’ll have better insights with more miles.

[@Wolfpak1911]

Thanks for that, well done!

[@bcarr786]

Monache Meadow!! You drove right by our property on your way up, just before Blackrock Ranger station. What is the satellite communicator that Mike was using??

[@MicahMuzio]

👋 That communicator was a Garmin InReach. We have the mini version for the helicopter. It’s super cool.

[@speedfiend925]

I am kind of seeing Toyotas Lunar Rock in the color of both the Bronco and the Ranger. Am I correct? They choose the name Cactus Gray but it looks more green than gray to my eyes.

[@wildhorses4x4]

Great job you guys!

[@_Letsbefrank_]

Evie went 🐐 mode!

[@camshaft53149]

awesome video! thanks for sharing it, so glad you guys had so much fun! definitely cant wait for my 4 door cactus gray to show up! :D

[@beardown6574]

Congrats on your first Muzio family off-roading adventure!

[@MarkRenn]

This is why I am now wishing I had gone ahead and gotten a 4x4 Ranger. I went with a 4x2 to save money, figuring “I’ll never go off-road.”

[@user-jl1sz7su4p]

Micah what kind of sunglasses are those? Would love to find me a pair and those look perfect for muh face!

[@alexatwagan]

You guys did great!

[@blackadax9370]

Man I love the bronco!

[@20gravedigger11]

As always, great content!! PS -- In all seriousness, what kind of drone was that?

[@MicahMuzio]

That was a Skydio 2. Crazy little thing.

[@20gravedigger11]

@@MicahMuzio Amazing!

[@drewf7743]

Pure awesomeness!!

And here's your high five... 😄🤚

[@MicahMuzio]

Up top!! ✋

[@StrictlyPlinking]

Beautiful!

[@fitztastico]

I feel like your new car/transmission got the most severe break-in period ever, lol. Nothing like being born into a trial by fire 🔥🔥🔥

[@One_Less_Thing]

That drone doe. Wow

[@realrigsrattle8829]

How do you feel about the noise levels with the soft-top? Any complaints from the wife and kid? Also do you feel like the top transmits heat at all?

[@MicahMuzio]

It's much quieter than the Jeep Gladiator soft-top we'd been driving...but it's still a soft top. Noisy but manageable.

[@realrigsrattle8829]

@@MicahMuzio Have you done much incline driving yet? I’m curious how well the 2.3 does in that regard. My current 2.5 cvt equipped Outback is constantly at or near red line on long inclines and it’s becoming very tiresome.

[@MicahMuzio]

@@realrigsrattle8829 We live in the mountains, so most of our driving is up or downhill. The 2.3L feels good with enough torque that it doesn’t have to rely on high revs. Plus the 10-speed offers enough ratios to best exploit the engines output. So far we have zero regrets going with the smaller engine.

[@thestonetable]

Thanks for the hi fives,,,!

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Awesome video!

[@wheelerk2012]

Nice video. Hey does that drone automatically avoid trees?

[@mkim8860]

WOW it's great video. Thank you :-)

[@raedkhmous1292]

What a kind family, I think there is no AC for the back seats

[@Bravo2Zulu]

Cool! Looking forward to more off-road adventures. Also. Where was that place? Very beautiful. Oh ya. Evie sure is cute.

[@FlyGuy457]

Three thumbs up for a great path taken.

[@GG_Dreamcast]

Can you tell me which color your Bronco is? Cactus grey??

[@GG_Dreamcast]

I typed too soon. They said it! Thanks for the video.

[@capelax24]

did you pay more for the daytime running lights? they don't come stock with the big bend right?

[@MicahMuzio]

Those are indeed the stock lights, which are LED. The “Signature Headlight” option has a slightly different design with a white horizontal marker that extends into the round marker that surrounds the headlight.

[@capelax24]

@@MicahMuzio Wow, they still look pretty awesome if that isn't the upgraded option

[@MicahMuzio]

@@capelax24 I honestly prefer the look of the standard lights versus the upgrade. So I was happy to save almost $1k by skipping them.

[@capelax24]

@@MicahMuzio Did you get the Mid package? And do you think it's worth it?

[@MicahMuzio]

@@capelax24 Yes and yes!

[@Bearhntr]

I would love to have a Bronco, but being sold out till 2023.... I actually was impressed with the Ranger. I know the Bronco could do boulders and all, average off roading is whats shown. I would look at at a Ranger and save money.

[@williamhamer3034]

Not sold out!! Just go on the forums and look for the big no no’s when ordering. Avoid the MIC hard top, tow package, manual, 2.7v6, lux package, Sasquatch, modular bumper, advanced 4x4, paint protection film. I ordered my Black Diamond with the 2.3 10-speed Jan 03 and already have a build date for late Feb so delivery of mid to late March. Be smart about your order and you’ll get it quick!!

[@Arcticfox7]

How recent is this footage? No trace of wildfire smoke. I like it.

[@JaredSVX]

I need one of these!

[@m49593]

Excellent video. More. More!

[@MicahMuzio]

More coming!

[@robertlandry5676]

Great adventure! Immense tires 🤗

[@FlyingSparks12336]

Your little girl is so smart

[@Pnaytoca4u]

did you guys have to deflate your tires when going on the trail?

[@MicahMuzio]

No. For this trail we kept the tires at standard pressure.

[@christiangarcia4789]

Do u wish u had the 2.7? Instead of 2.3L

[@Acc0rd79]

Well the only way to top this video would be to fly down in that valley with the helicopter and take a comparison shot in the wilderness. :) Make it so!

[@gerardobarrios46]

Question.. why did you choose the Bronco over a 4Runner or a Wrangler?

[@ReaganThatcher]

I would choose the Bronco as well. I owned a 2016 4Runner but it is a total dinosaur with literally no improvements in close to 2 decades. The wrangler is “basic” and overdone; everyone has one. Bronco is fresh, stylish, capable and exciting. Also he has a whole series of videos where they drove different vehicles trying to decide what to buy; if you watch those along with his prior bronco videos he goes in depth about why they chose it.

[@gerardobarrios46]

@@ReaganThatcher I will. Honestly I’m trying to choose between both. I’m either going to buy a Bronco or a 4Runner. I love the reliability of a 4Runner. And I like the styling and tech on the bronco. Just don’t know if they are reliable. Or if they are as noisy on the highway like the wrangler.

[@abid77]

Can you ask Mike for the radio communicator model. Sick!

[@MicahMuzio]

It's a Garmin inReach. We have an inReach Mini which takes up very little room but they make a few different models to choose from.

[@abid77]

@@MicahMuzio thanks, I was intrigued by its ability to connect to your phone and send out a text, a great feature. You guys have the most enjoyable videos online!

[@NamelessGlasses]

Lime-flavored Perrier, aka boujee Sprite

[@MicahMuzio]

I will now forever refer to it 'boujee Sprite'.😁

[@preciadoalex123]

Looked like Holcomb valley .

[@gravedig1990]

The new bronco looks awesome but how is the wind noise with the soft top and it looks a little saggy on the rear windows.

[@MicahMuzio]

The soft top is definitely noisier than a hard top would be. But it’s noticeably quieter than the soft top Jeep Gladiator we drove for the past 8 months. And yeah, the saggy rear window is kind of a bummer.

[@dcl97]

The windows sag like that because Ford wanted the back to flip up for easier access to the cargo area, but that also means no tensioning supports to keep the windows from sagging. Id personally prefer if they did it like the Wrangler to keep the windows looking nice, but it's an intentional design choice, not a quality issue.

[@jissanhuq3792]

I'm sure over time there's going to many assortments of tops like lego's. A hybrid hard n soft would be cool or being able to mix n match panels

[@blueryxfalls7949]

Sasquatch is kind of overkill if you are not rock crawling 😅

[@boughtandpaidforautoreview1150]

Yep overkill looks the best though

[@jayxj7785]

Never seen Mike on camera lol

[@Sami-rp7mf]

Where is this place? Thanks

[@lego4virgo]

Mike, the friend that Micah was with, asked that they not say--because of the concern that flocks of people will come out and despoil it. I can understand the reasoning.

[@jloudy]

You didn't cross a stream. You forded it. In your Ford. I'll show myself out ...

[@jissanhuq3792]

lol have never heard you start a video in such a serious bass tone. The perky statement makes too much sense. :)
