The Ultimate SUV Restomod? Gateway Bronco Luxe-GT Review | Henry Catchpole - The Driver’s Seat

[@xjhigg]

Thanks to Hagerty for this 11 minute journey. Getting a glimpse into the Bronco lifestyle without cutting a retirement check, well, there's not much else you can ask for from a free KZbin video. Henry doing a killer job as always.

[@BannedEvECharacter]

Awesome! Lost me after the 400k mention. In this day and age, I want my own hole in the wall, hard to even justify dreaming about something like this. In any case, Henry does a top notch job, all his videos are like watching a high budget movie.

[@andremartinez418]

Agreed, it's beautifully well done but 400k is hard to stomach

[@bryantnojang709]

Same 400k makes it feel like u would baby it even though that’s not what the car was made for

[@title214]

100% - 400k is ridiculous. Perfect for California tho....lol.

[@amazingjason455]

I’d like to see how these super expensive restomods compare to their new counterparts, in this case a two door Bronco Heritage Edition.

[@TrokaRC]

Restomod won't have leaking roof for a start.

[@MrShinpu]

To Europeans, the Bronco's look is all of America packed into a small car. Europeans perceive the Bronco the same way they perceive the Mustang. It's hard to find more American cars. I don't think I'll ever get tired of this shape. So simple and yet fascinating.

[@stefangrubesic2708]

Yeah that's probably true, I remember when I was younger I never cared about non-Ford American cars, could it maybe be because Ford is selling here as well? Who knows

[@joshthemediocre7824]

My uncle has a 66 pickup style bronco that he has kept in bare metal because of all the cool custom bodywork he has done. It's 4wd but sits about 4 inches off the ground with a 351 stroked out to a 429. It runs high 10's but he never even drives it anymore, he got a new one and he fell in love with the tech and comfort...This Bronco is the best of both worlds.

[@lukewaring2832]

Wow Mr catchpole you fit in.. Wardrobe department pulled a blinder.. epic as ever guys .. thanks for sharing.. 😎

[@SgtTom]

Astonishing piece of art and engineering.

[@rickbdatsun]

For $400k, I certainly hope I can get fender flares that actually cover the width of the tire.

[@pabo8080]

Looks fantastic, love the colored stripes on the side.

[@amazingjason455]

[@motorvatorv888]

It’d be interesting to see your thoughts on the same roads in the Icon Bronco. Similar customer wealth required but very differently executed.

[@jryalls]

I think the Icon one might actually be worth the money too.

[@bawintermage8351]

Amazing what can be accomplished with tons of money and unlimited man hours of professional mechanics.

[@martynrollinson]

Great work from Henry and the video production folk... more please!!!

[@Isthatyoudermot]

I had a Bronco like that on my Scalextric in the 80's. Great truck.

400 thousand might as well be 400 million! At that point I'll just get a private jet. But I love your videos.

[@-PLAYER0NE-]

That pricetag is absolutely absurd… you could easily find an old bronco and build it however you want for well under that amount. Not to mention still have the desire to use it for what it was intended, at 400 k I wouldn’t even want to drive it on the road lol

[@BlacktopTV]

Only if you already had the Bronco to resto-mod. You may well sink close to 400K to add all the goodies of this one.

[@abderrahmanelbakkali190]

​@@BlacktopTVbro, that's bullshit, no way it would cost you even 200k to build your own Bronco Restomod including the cost of the car.

[@BlacktopTV]

@@abderrahmanelbakkali190 I don't know where you live, but here in the states to get something near this nice, yes it would. Sure, if you had the skills, talent and ability to do half the custom work, you could do it, but those talents would be better served building one for a paying customer.

[@bobdobbs6969]

@@BlacktopTV You're right...A customer...probably Jay Leno. Driven once for his YT show, and then back to the garage. This thing will never see a dirt road.

[@carsandcrypto868]

It's not just an old bronco dude... not sure if you even cought the engineering part. They gave it 4 wheel independent suspension, all time awd, ABS, and stability control. There's not a chassis you can buy that has that in a vintage bronco. Trust me, a vintage chassis drives like dooky. This one looks to drive like a modern SUV, just with a vintage body. And it's Carbon Fiber.

[@grecoconduris6716]

The Fast Falcon mob doing some good stuff! Pity about the yammy project not "taking off"

Big thanks to Henry and Hagerty for the review of our all-new world-class LUXE-GT Bronco.

[@jasonrod4523]

400k is a joke 😂

[@scottimusgarrett15]

Ridiculously spendy.

[@sadubone]

Certainly an opinion but I think ICON 4x4 makes the best restomod sold today. You get something that looks original if you want and super well built. I couldn't think what it was that bothered me with this one until I stood back a while. It looks like 10 or so different designers each took a section and built something and someone else put it all together. There is no coherent theme to this vehicle and it comes off looking like a Hot Wheels. Which is great if you like over designed stuff. To each their own, way to much going on for me for that price.

[@mitchellsteindler]

I think it looks literally perfect. I can't imagine improving it. I think icon is incredibly over rated.

[@sebaslyon]

Gateaway Bronco, should not be confused with Getaway Bronco. That's another story. 🏈

Nice watch!

[@BornofFire117]

I do appreciate the craftsmanship, however, I cannot justify the price tag. Also, resto-mods are normally hit or miss, this one misses me specifically. I believe the true beauty of the classic Bronco lies in its simplicity.

Touts extensive safety upgrades. Installs low back seats.

[@georgimihalkov4781]

Henry's video are always enjoyable. And this could be called the ultimate SUV restomod...if we're going to pretend that ICON doesn't exist that is.

[@scottjohnson4319]

I don't think Harry has ever looked more out of place. A good thing I think.

[@bawintermage8351]

The appeal of the Bronco, besides nostalgia, is the mechanical simplicity and durability. Personally, I would slightly upgrade the vehicle with: disc brakes, reinforcement to the frame, stronger lighter roll bars, and better progressive shocks and a larger than original but non electronics driven V8. Keep it simple.

[@thomasjrinnus9935]

It would be interesting to see this compared to the ICON Bronco.

[@josephreisinger33]

How much???

[@JTeam45]

It looks and sounds amazing. But should it cost more than a new Corvette or Porsche 911 and be in the same range as Ferrari? No.

[@robertmercer5759]

[@jasonrod4523]

400k is HALARIOUS!!! The guy who built it has some balls asking 400k for a 50k truck

[@brentives4688]

This makes no sense. They redesigned the whole chassis to add crumple zones and IFS but couldn't be bothered to add a shred of rollover protection for the driver? More broadly, what's the actual use case for this thing? Clearly not four-wheeling since the front end articulation is a distant memory. The short wheelbase and tall height will make it a handful at speed regardless of steering and suspension design. Is it purely for carrying surfboards to the beach? I've driven a Bronco to El Porto with a surfboard in the back so I know how cool it feels, but even the DINKs in Manhattan Beach are going to stop and think about dropping $400k just for that purpose.

[@twistingterrain7748]

I thought this was an ICON at first. Basically a copy

[@thejoshbtv]

Am I the only one that thinks all these aftermarket Bronco companies are ridiculously out of touch with reality with their pricing?

[@colinmcleod4190]

Who can afford to pay $400,000 for a vehicle like this? wonderful though it is.

[@dugjay]

400K? No thanks.

[@alex_707]

Old Bronco body on a new Bronco chassis, 5.0 Coyote, Kenwood stereo, doesn't justify the 400k price. It's very common in Australia to lengthen the chassis when they install a box bed to a Land Cruiser, or extend the pickup chassis. So, shortening a chassis should be in their realm. Seems for people who have lot of money and don't know where to spend.

[@braedenbmx]

[@doomsday...]

Gateway Bronco or Velocity Bronco?

[@VladoooThe]

2 unskippable ads at the start, 2 more unskippable ads 10 seconds into the video, followed immediately by an in video ad for the Haggerty club, which when I skipped activated 2 more ads, and finally 2 more unskippable ads 8m into the video.... At this point we may as well go back to cable TV.

[@dalgguitars]

400k?

[@rvnb1027]

460hp, 420 torque, $400k…one of these numbers doesn’t fit. They would have been smarter to buy a raptor and put a new body on it.

Henry, I think you are one the best Car Journalist out there. But I'm done with this channel. I just can't watch this coverage of ridiculously overpriced restomods. It's insane and honestly they only hurt car enthusiasts in the end by putting so many older cars out of reach of the normal person. I'm done. I hope to catch you someplace else.

[@abderrahmanelbakkali190]

400k? No thanks, I would rather have a Cayenne Turbo Gt + modern Bronco + a Hummer EV and probably an original Bronco as well, all that together could be less than 400k. More than that, I don't think it would cost you over 150k to build your own Bronco Restomod in your garage, plus the added fun and enjoyment of building your own project car.

[@flyonbyya]

Seemingly incongruent for the designers and engineers to attempt to make it a bit of a canyon carver and muscle car whilst lifted on 33’s, and Baja Blaster whilst sporting a suspension designed STRICTLY for asphalt, it’s woefully inadequate in any of the the modes. Verdict: Much like a modern SUV that attempts to meet a broad range of capabilities. like the SUV…this Bronco does NONE of them well.
