Ford Bronco: The Off-Road Adventure Begins | Ford News Europe

We took one American icon, one vehicle designer, and one adventurous driving expert - and set them loose for some real off-roading* fun to show what the All-New Ford Bronco can do!
The new Ford Bronco is the ultimate off-road SUV for adventure seekers. With a host of engineering features to tackle even the most challenging landscapes.
The Bronco Badlands, featured here, is one the models with our advanced Terrain Management System with up to seven selectable G.O.A.T (Go Over Any Terrain) driving modes, a new high-speed off-road suspension system, heavy-duty protective under-body shielding, and 32” all-terrain tyres.
We went to a military vehicle test centre to put the Bronco through its paces over five extreme off-road challenges. This is a place where they test army tanks! Let’s see how our Bronco handles it…
#Ford #Bronco #offroad
Chapters:
00:00 Intro
01:15 Challenge 1: Big Bend
04:06 Bronco Tear down!**
05:15 Challenge 2: El Camino Del Diablo
07:18 Challenge 3: The Ozarks
08:45 Challenge 4: Death Valley
10:18 Challenge 5: The Everglades
11:28 Finale
Challenge 1: Big Bend^
An overlapping lattice of huge concrete cones simulates an extreme pocked terrain of large boulders and deep potholes.
Watch, and listen, as Bronco thumps over those obstacles . Robust steel under-body shielding, plus steel skid plates and rocker slide rails protect the chassis from contact with the concrete.
Putting the vehicle into low ratio four-wheel drive and selecting Rock Crawl G.O.A.T mode locks the differential and disconnects the sway bar, giving more movement across the front axle, and ultimately delivering more traction… Easy!
Challenge 2: El Camino del Diablo^
A fast, twisting sandy climb followed by a steep gravelly descent. Ideal for showcasing Bronco’s desert racing capability, with BAJA mode optimised for speed on sandy conditions.
And while we’re at it, the Bronco’s roof and doors** can be detached and removed for when you fancy a bit more air. No other vehicle makes this as easy as the Bronco.
Side mirrors are mounted on the chassis frame, so that they remain in place when doors are removed. And interior grab handles help your passengers stay in their seat!
Challenge 3: The Ozarks^
This obstacle of unsteady logs simulates driving over changing, unstable surfaces such as loose scree slopes. Again, with the vehicle in low ratio four-wheel drive and Rock Crawl G.O.A.T mode, it’s a piece of cake for the Bronco.
Challenge 4: Death Valley^
This 60% slope may look daunting from the top looking down, but our Bronco is as surefooted as a mountain goat! We put it in into low ratio four-wheel drive and engage Hill Descent Control. This continuously adjusts vehicle traction settings and brake pressure to maintain a constant, comfortable, and controlled descent speed.
Challenge 5 - The Everglades^
Time for a swim! We put the doors back on and took our Bronco for a little dip to showcase its impressive up to 800mm wading depth.^^
In fact, we could have even left the doors off to really show how versatile the Bronco is in water…
Disclaimers:
* Always consult the Owner’s Manual before off-road driving, know your terrain and trail difficulty, and use appropriate safety gear.
** Removal of doors for off-road use only. See Bronco Owner’s Manual for detailed information.
^ Closed course. Professional driver. Do not attempt.
^^ Always determine the water depth before attempting a crossing and proceed slowly. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for detailed information regarding driving through water.

This is what the New Defender SHOULD have been. Well done Ford!!!!

[@Davido50]

Sooo much better than new Range Rovers. They've tested many times in US vs all Range Rovers an beats em hands dwn. Better MPGs too.

[@anirbandey303]

12:50 The last shot looks so cool.

[@johnny-yi2oi]

Please bring this to Australia, it will absolutely kill it!

[@Davido50]

I believe it's going to Australia. You will love it. Been super hit in US & Canada for good reason 💯

Best Bronco-video EVER!!!

[@BuckingBronco]

LOVE IT! You guys had a lot of fun. I just got my Bronco (same color but a 2-door) and I'm hoping to put it through the same paces you did. Bravo!

[@cavemanballistics6338]

Cheers from the USA! You guys had fun and it was a awesome video.

[@chandamusonda6883]

Head to head off-road challenge against the Next-Gen ranger

[@Davido50]

All new Ranger Raptor is amazing. We getting in the states finally! We had the F150 Raptor truck for 10yrs. We want the Ranger Raptor too 💯

[@edwarddejong8025]

Mr. Wraith did a fantastic job on this car. Ford's most fun vehicle. Pretty sure it was the fired Hackett that hired him. A really sturdy vehicle, great to see Europe getting it.

[@Davido50]

Its ready for ANYTHING you can put it through! They race it in the states basically stock. A nice daily driver as well.

[@ThugByChoice]

Well this guy got one hell of a raise.

[@PDMGlobal]

Great video Paul. Nice to see the beast being put to work. Perfect re-incarnation of an icon

[@HSstudio.Ytchnnl]

bring this to the Philippines pls!

[@LMacNeill]

Wow!! Fun!! Europe is getting an amazing vehicle!! I live in the States, and I've owned a Bronco since September of 2022 -- it's really great!! Definitely not the vehicle to own if you want good fuel-mileage, though. LOL. It's just not designed for that. But for weekend fun off-road, it cannot be beat. It's a blast! Y'all are going to enjoy it!

[@redwhite_040]

without a hybrid version this thing will sell only a few. Ford has brought Explorer PHEV to Europe and its a really big car for our standard but it sells not bad at all because it's a hybrid. So better fuel economy and less taxes.

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

what mileage do you have on the Bronco? Because that really is an issue in Europe. The only reason why RAM can sell the 1500 successfully in Europe is the LPG conversion done when importing them

[@LMacNeill]

@@EnjoyFirefighting It depends on which size Bronco you get (2-door or 4-door), which engine you get (2.3L 4-cyl or 2.7L 6-cyl) and whether or not you get the "Sasquatch" package (bigger tires, a suspension lift, shorter gears in the front and rear differentials, and electronic lockers in the front and rear differentials). I have a 4-door with the 2.3L 4-cylinder engine and the Sasquatch package. With mostly around-town driving we get about 18 MPG (13 L/100km). On the highway we've seen as good as 22 MPG (10.7 L/100km). Keep in mind, those are American gallons, not British (Imperial) gallons. For Imperial gallons, add about 20% to the MPG figure. I've seen people post as high as 26 MPG (9 L/100km) on social media, but I've never been able to achieve that myself. I'd imagine the 2-door non-Sasquatch with the 2.3L and manual transmission would be the best as far as fuel-mileage is concerned.

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

@@LMacNeill of course there are many aspects which play a role, same on any other car model as well. Well, that's definetly poor mileage / fuel consumption there; Not surprised to be honest, but well, without added LPG that sure would be a cost issue

[@Davido50]

Win win! Bronco has super efficient powertrains. Gets good mpgs even w/large tires! U gotta drive one. Huge hit in the states for good reason 💯

[@krzysztofcwik5347]

Bring Expedition !! 8 seater - the most big family friendly SUV on the market, let us buy it in Europe!!

[@Davido50]

We love large SUVs in states! Expedition, Tahoe, Escalade etc very popular! Expensive too but you get what you pay for!

[@Never_Whatever]

I doubt it will ever be delivered in Italy, just like the new Ford Tourneo Custom. Placed an order for the older model back in February of 2022 with delivery around July-August at a dealer in Florence. Never any news from Ford, so I contact the dealer in November and Nothing...all silent, my order hasn't went into production. Well in December of 2022 they are canceling all orders. So what about all the time I wasted waiting for my order? Nothing... The new model if you order today (which you can ONLY order the Titanium) won't be delivered until the New Year of 2024. It's a complete Joke, I doubt the Ford Bronco will be any different.

[@Davido50]

Parts supply constraints are getting better now. Don't give up. U will love that vehicle! 💯

[@wvjeepguy8178]

How can they possibly sell any of these in Europe when the US orders are a year behind or longer?

[@Davido50]

Increased production. They aren't taking 1yr anymore.

[@Davido50]

Home run! 💯 Absolutely awesome. Perfect advanced ICE powertrains. Tons usuable technology. Ultra rugged platform that can be modded easily by owners. It will be a hit in Europe.. as is in states currently! 👍🏻

[@hoyiho]

Good car

[@vamsinathreddy2163]

Best off-road video I have seen. Wish Ford should be 🔙 to India

Import one. It can be done . Well worth it. So much better than Range Rovers! New Ranger Raptor is awesome too i want one. -NY 🇺🇸

[@user-qi4wk4ne8j]

Not coming to the U.K. Would love a Raptor Bronc , right will have to settle for a Ranger.

[@Davido50]

You can get all new Ranger Raptor there I believe! That's an awesome truck 💯

[@mihaiduca5840]

OK, that looks just about capable enough for the weekly supermarket run.

[@karlarsch7760]

75000 € who the f**ck made this prices ? Do they don´t want selling cars in EU?????

the Ranger Raptor costs €82k and they sell quite many of them

ALIRSIN FORD OLURSUN LORD

[@rickjohnson4956]

I would imagine they pre-planned logistics for the filming of this commercial and had plenty of spare parts available, like say "tie rod ends". I'm curious, the locale seems to be a military reservation, any Brits recognize it?

[@mihaiduca5840]

The fact that an entire artificial off road course had to be improvised in order to demonstrate the offroad capabilities for this European model tells you all you need to know. In Europe you find asphalt all the way up the Alps. Not sure where this monster is supposed to go.

[@Davido50]

Anywhere & everywhere! Plus it drives beautifully on pavement w/very good MPG's.

[@dsp4392]

Exactly. I don't mind people buying those if they're actually using them on trails, but the vast majority will rarely see an unpaved road in their life. When I was younger and stupider I owned a few sports cars, all of which had 300-400HP. It didn't take me long to realize how I had fallen prey to the ridiculous marketing tactics of car manufacturers. These cars can't be driven to their full potential anywhere outside of specialized environments. They make no sense as daily drivers as they'll spend most of their time parked and the rest stuck in traffic. I exclusively ride a bicycle now. Gets me where I need to be much faster, keeps me healthy and costs close to nothing. I might get a people hauler when I start a family, but I don't think I'll ever own another performance car. At the price these are sold at anyways, it makes more sense to get into aviation.

[@dsp4392]

2:15 The lag on that UI though, what's in there? A Celeron from the early 2000s?
