Ford Bronco Daily Driver Review

2021 Ford Bronco 9,000 mile Daily Driver Review.
Running costs and what you should know before you buy one.

[@biggerterry]

Very well produced and edited. I wish all KZbinrs could conceive, video and edit as well as you did. No wasted time, plenty of pertinent visuals and clear sound and humor. You made a great choice in the 2-door and the options.

[@gerardpcollins]

I appreciate the compliments. Thanks for watching!

One of the best Bronco reviews I've seen for real people. Very well done!!!

[@louisbaghec2570]

I’ve seen a lot of bronco review videos, while waiting for my bronco to come in. Gotta say this is one of the best ones and very funny! 😂

a year late, but how's the bronco so far? how's the road noise compared to other cars? and is it tolerable to use as a daily communet? (highways)

Nice ride Mr Collins. And the garage door reenactment had me chuckling.

Funny video. I’m waiting on my Base Bronco. It’s in shipping mode now. Glad to see another black guy enjoying his Bronco

[@DRTYFN]

Seriously? You had to bring race to a really nice video? You should be ashamed of yourself. Vehicles are one of the universal things that brings all people together.

[@TheJiggs666]

Got my base Bronco last month, also in the DMV area like this guy. Black or white, every bronco driver you see will give you a waive or a thumps up. Race need not apply. And to make you feel better, I'm also Black. Why wouldn't we buy Broncos too? Weird comment.

[@peacelove4391]

@@DRTYFN I totally understand what you mean about not bringing race into it and just enjoy this beautiful ride bringing people together. However, being a Black person myself, we just get excited, happy and proud to see US being seen and represented, for it’s usually not the case. That’s all!

@@DRTYFN Now, that wasn’t very nice of you!! I was merely explaining another perspective to you, but it’s apparent you’re not capable of receiving it! YOU should be ashamed of yourself for being so naive and uneducated on life! Vehicles ARE NOT the universal thing that brings all people together. YOUR life is lived in this closed off space that you don’t even have the ability to appreciate others place in this universe.

Excellent review. Straight, simple, and to the point.

[@21stcenturygildedage]

You have a great voice and presence in front of the camera. Great review!

[@nomadik3866]

Had a similar sqeaking from the roof/ tailgate. Some krytox lube, that was recommended by Ford, did the trick. It's the interface between the metal tailgate and the rubber weather seal that causes the "water bottle pack" sqeak noise. Also put some weather stripping to further minimize the chance of it returning.

[@gerardpcollins]

Thanks for the info. I'll give that a try.

[@mawage666]

Got my 2022 2 door Base manual last March. I feel like I was meant to own this vehicle. Had a lot of fun last summer and can't wait to see how it handles a Minnesota winter.

[@gerardpcollins]

Manual for the win! We don't get that much snow in Virginia but I'm sure the Bronco would own it if we did. 😉

[@juliajohnson6562]

How long did it take for you to get your base? I ordered a base 4 door (also in MN!) and it was supposed to build end of Jan. But got pushed back to this month. Wondering how long it took for you!

[@mawage666]

@@juliajohnson6562 Reserved summer of 2020 ordered December of 2020 was supposed to be ready in March of 2021. Got pushed back and pushed back until they upgraded me at no extra charge to a 2022 which I got 11 months ago now. So essentially it took about 15 months from the date I actually ordered it.

That renactment had me weak!! 😂😂

[@tammyhayes4067]

😂 me too lmao

[@robertwilkinson3990]

Nice video! I just purchased a Sasquatch with all the bells and whistles 2023. After driving a very nice 2021 BMW X 6 , I’m personally very impressed with the outstanding visibility the Bronco offers. The Bronco I have is very technologically impressive as well. Actually has more than my BMW and much more user friendly. Rather surprising from a Ford product. It is obviously very capable off road, and to me good fun on the street. I’m very pleased.

[@Ekowal1965]

I just took possession of my two door yellow Wildtrack two weeks ago. Going from JCW Mini Cooper to Bronco is a big change in driving and fuel economy. I think my fun will increase with onset of our Canadian winter. Can you believe the taxes on this beast were almost ten grand. I miss US. LOL

[@gerardpcollins]

OMG 10 grand in taxes! That's insane. Beautiful country up there though. Congrats on the Bronco. Enjoy!

[@jamesbrowne5213]

That's funny because my wife is going from a countryman to Badlans sasquatch

Very nice review, I just bought my daughter a 2022 bronco 2 door she loves and gets tons of compliments. She has a big bend

[@jplumb5591]

Great review 👍🏽. I’ve been waiting to get one. Current vehicle is paid off and it’s nice not having a car payment . But man these Broncos are sooo nice

[@gerardpcollins]

I was in the same boat. I traded my paid off Camry for my Bronco. Definitely nice not having a car payment but I felt the Bronco was worth it.

[@anonymoususer1231]

I have the two door outer banks ,, even with the good stereo system it sounds tiny due to the plastic top and no sound barrier. . Taking the top off is easy over the two doors but getting it back on without scratching the top you need to be carful. Wish they had some padding underneath for this reason. Seats are comfortable but long rides they feel a bit firm. I didnt get the big tires all though they look amazing the sound is so LOUD and it doesn’t handle as well esp on the highway. Overall a fun summer ride not sure id like it for all year round.

[@colbysmith1398]

Nice review. Clean, simple, and to the point. Very nice Broncho too. Im considering a 2 door myself.

If you are planning on keeping this Bronco, I’d get the oil changes done no later than 8 thousand miles. Love your ride, great review.

[@tjclark4892]

Nice work on the video and beautiful truck. I’ve had my Bronco Sport Big Bend for 1.5 years and 12k miles and still love it, however it’s hard for me not to admire the aggressive look and size of the big bronco. I’d go for the same model as yours as I feel that looks the most fun 2-Dr, hardtop) and then opt for the manual transmission.

[@gerardpcollins]

The Bronco Sport is a sweet ride too. I would assume that it's probably a more reasonable daily driver for sure. I'd love to drive one someday. My full-size Bronco despite its quirks is totally awesome and I can't say enough good things about it. I considered getting the manual, but since it's my primary vehicle I decided go for the more automatic because it's more practical. Thanks for watching!

[@stratman103]

Don't feel bad bud. I had a 2012 Wrangler that I used to drive around with the glass up in the summer time if I didn't have the top off. It just makes the airflow better with the windows down. Forgot about it being up and pulled into my garage. THANKFULLY it didn't break, I just banged it.

[@gilbertferguson1685]

Nice review. I initially ordered a two door but after waiting over a year my dealer suggested I change to a four door. I also have the 2.3 engine which has enough power, but the best mpg I am able to get is 18.

[@FlyByGarrett]

Very helpful video. Thank you for making this! waiting on my Big Bend with the 7 speed manual. Can't get here soon enough!

[@gerardpcollins]

Glad you enjoyed the review. Good luck on your Big Bend, you're going to love it!

[@NYRunnerJai]

Awesome video! You basically justified my desire for getting this vehicle seeing your Alpha Romeo back there as I also have a tesla model 3 for a different feel when I need that. besides the tesla is my special occasion car. I want to keep it pristine. The bronco will be my daily driver (which I don't drive too much anyway), but its nice to be able to drive it without worrying where I park and to also be a weekend warrior for a change and drive around with the doors and top off on small road trips. I'm in my early 50's now and its time to enjoy life so I don't feel guilty at all! Life is short. They're two completely different driving experiences and I absolutely love the classic look of the bronco (which will never go out of style as it ages over time), and the added bonus for me is that my bronco will be a manual transmission which I miss having from my days as a twenty something out there in dem skreets...LOL!!!!!! Keep making awesome videos!!

[@gerardpcollins]

I totally agree with you. My bronco is the perfect companion to my Alfa. Two drastically different driving experiences like you said. And if you get the manual that will make it even more unique. Go ahead and get it. I'm nearly 50 years old as well. Life is too short not to enjoy yourself at our age!

[@primitiveroad3422]

I’m so glad you’re averaging 22 mpg. I was really worried about the released EPA estimate but being as I drive around 65-70 and have a relatively flat commute, I should be good.

[@dogsavethequeen7689]

I've got a 2s, 2.7, Sasquatch, base model. I concur with Gerald. The hard top is noisy. In heavy rain or hail It's ear splitting. Keep a pair of ear muffs on hand. But very comfortable as a DD. Handles great, almost like a sports car on road.

[@wwillia99]

I wish I could find one. I talked to the dealer a couple months ago and they said it was only preorders till next year.

[@artisticcompose]

I bought the Outer Banks 4 door! The trunk space is great and the truck has the bigger screen, the auxiliary inputs, hitch and all those good stuff. What’s missing for me is that rugged/tough look that those tires give it! I’ll definitely have to upgrade the tires!

[@heavenskitty790]

We have nitto terra grappler gen 2 on ours. Both the big bend n F350

[@anonymoususer1231]

The bigger tires comes with the loud noise, stone chips from then making stones fly up and doesn’t handle as well. Looks good but not practical!! Highway driving is the worst with them cant hear anyone or talk on the phone.

Thanks! I thought about getting the manual to add to the fun factor but in the end, I chickened out and went for the automatic because it's a little more practical as a daily driver.

[@mikemac7431]

This video is hilarious. The reenactment of slamming into your garage door. Priceless! I’m hoping to get one next year. The two door. Looks like a blast to drive. Have you taken the top off yet?

[@gerardpcollins]

I haven't taken the entire top off yet since it's difficult for one person to do alone. But this year I plan to make it happen at some point to get the full experience.

[@Anti-19th]

HOLY CRAP!!! where did your oil changed? That's dirt cheap. Me though i changed my oil at 500,1000, 2000, 5000, and 10k. Currently at 12k miles. Something i noticed in those oil changes. Ran their stuff for 500 miles, changed to penzoil full syn stuff and a mobil 1 oil filter. Drove it and thought it might have just been my imagination at the time but it seemed to run better and smoother. Had them change it at 1000 miles, got back in it, noticed it was running much rougher again. Decided to stick to my oil break in plan and change again at 2000 miles. Went back to the Penzoil and immediately noticed back to running smoother again. From there on out i decided to run my own oil instead of the motorcraft stuff they use at the dealership. I finally settled on Mobil 1 extended performance and a mobil 1 oil filter, though im thinking about trying amsoil out on my next change. Point of the story is that you are getting some good prices on that oil change and has me concerned you might want to consider a higher grade oil. The Mobil 1 stuff i get is like $40 for 5 quarts $13 for the other one i need and $15 for the oil filter alone. So just right there i spent $68 one just the oil stuff not including labor(which i do myself now so that free). It's been worth the cost to make sure my Bronco stay it top shape but i do drive it like a sports car now after i hit the 5000 mile mark, that and the mod's i have now too lol.

[@gerardpcollins]

I got my oil changed at the dealer. They used Motorcraft oil so I doubt that it's premium oil but it seems to run smoothly so far. Next time I may switch to Mobil 1 like you did to see if there is a performance difference. Thanks for the tip!

Be glad you didn't get the soft top version. You can only lift that rear portion of the top a few inches and it isn't light either so loading stuff in the back is a real PITA. Plus, you get the side window sag which just looks awful on these vehicles. I wish Ford would make one with a fixed roof with sound deadening, headliner and a big sunroof.

[@gerardpcollins]

[@scottdaytonhunn]

I would never go more than 5,000 miles on an oil change for turbo charged engines and I personally change my Maverick’s oil at 4K. Also 100% synthetic oil and nothing less than premium top tier fuel. Turbos are tough on oil and full synthetic withstands the heat better than Fords synthetic blend. As for the fuel, the high compression of the engine demands high octane fuel; these new engines use computers to adjust the timing to help eliminate knock but timing phasers and the timing chain get out of wack and stretched by about 100k miles. A very costly trip to the mechanic’s shop. Take care of your engine and she will take care of you.

Most of the noise is from the creaking and wind noise. I might get in there and see if I can tighten some of the bolts down to see if that helps with the creaking.
