[@KiranPatel-fk1pg]

​@@peopleschampgarage7869But he'd probably sell the bronco by then. As reliable as older Toyota's, Honda's etc are. It's not reasonable to pay for them if you can afford a more modern car with better pefotmance, luxury etc and then trade up before major issues occur.

[@253sam]

​@KiranPatel-fk1pg it's not reasonable to pay for an older, more reliable truck that have reports of over 500k miles with simple routine maintenance vs spending 60-80k USD for a new truck. The 4.7 and 5.7L v8s in the 2nd Gen Tundras are very reliable compared to its predecessors.

That’s definitely a downgrade, a few of the service advisors at our dealership got a few with the 2.7 Eco boost engine and they’ve had nothing but issues to the point one went back to a Tacoma and the other two traded for Frontiers

Well for more serious off road use these wheels are to wide for a 275/70r18, at 9.5 instead of 7.5 to 9, but for your uses it's fine. The 275/70r18 is the ideal tire size for you, not to wide for ice or hard pack(255/80r17 might be a hard to get size, and 5 OEM wheels), 33.2-33.4 inches tall, and a common OEM size.

It's cool. Gotta give Ford credit for being the only American car manufacturer who saw the writing on the wall when the market collapsed.

We love our 4Runner, but I can't get over how gutless the 4.0 V6 is. We call ours a TRD Semi Pro because it's an SR5 Premium that we put all the TRD Pro stuff on plus a 3" Toytec lift. We recently put Morimoto headlights in it along with the fog light bezel fang lights.

[@trailrunnah8886]

Haha, semi-pro! I like that. Yeah, I hear you.I I think my 4Runner is great, with the exception of the 4.0. It really puts a hamper on the vehicle. On the plus side, it IS a tested and reliable engine. Maybe if it had a better transmission with more gearing it would be better, but as it sits from the factory it really is lacking and frustrating to drive at times. For coolness and desirability factor, I definitely put the 4Runner behind the Bronco and the Wrangler. Hopefully the next generation of the 4Runner addresses these issues, the new Land Cruiser and GX550 that they just released looks promising.

[@andrem5843]

I built the dies for the front and rear doors for the bronco. Great looking truck and that 2.7 is a super reliable motor. I have it in my F150 and it’s been amazing! I also am averaging 10.1L/100km.

BUT….interior, paint, and panel gaps was absolute junk. So many warranty issues on cosmetic things. I hated it and was pissed off at Toyota for not offering a turbocharger option. It was a beautiful truck and had great power, but YIKES did they cut corners. I hope the Bronco is not the same. Ford still makes a great truck though. Let’s see some ECOBOOST upgrades though! Oh but Ford gave me 0% APR which turned into $10,000 in equity I put towards a FK8 Type R later on. Haha.

Great choice! Vehicles I really like these, I would take one of these over my 4Runner. I spend a lot of time on the highway too (why I chose the 4Runner over a similar year Wrangler), I actually wish that Ford offered this vehicle with a fixed steel roof, I think that would fix all the noise concerns. I'd say enjoy this thing for a couple years, then traded in for a new Land Cruiser 1958. Probably about the same amount of money once the hype dies down, in that vehicle should be quieter inside and potentially more economical, with the hybrid drivetrain.

[@throtl]

Looks SO AWESOME!!!

[@BCJDM]

I have all the same complaints with my 21 f150 2.7, the 10 speed is a bit confused at times and the engine is a little less refined than some. But those aren't deal breakers, and Fords start/stop is pretty smooth I feel like. If you release the brake pedal enough it will immediately turn the engine back on so I like to lift off the brake pedal just enough to turn the engine back on when I know the light is about to change.

[@slipperysandals]

I rented a new Bronco from Turo when I was in Nevada. And my God it was awful. The entire family was disappointed. Very “ford” ride quality

[@CrossWindsPat]

The 10 speed is FANTASTIC if you drive it in manual lol. I drove it in a work van for 3 years and finally figured it out. You take off in manual in 2nd gear and when you are decelerating you put it in auto. I feel like it would have more torque and not need to rev as much.The weakness of every transmission is the brain trying to figure out the gears.

[@IHeartEvanescence]

Being American born, 4th generation family Ford employee going on 35 yrs like my dad & 2 brothers- Toyota has never been on the menu when buying or leasing my vehicles. Personally I'd rather push a Ford than drive any Toyota. For the most part the company's designs seem to resemble other manufacturers works, meaning their mechanicals might be more dependable (somewhat) but they can't seem to come up with their own decent body design without copying from another. Respect to my American heritage means that much more. for those who come at me insisting that Toyota IS an American company are only fooling themselves as trying to fool others. GM builds vehicles in Shanghai, does that make GM a Shanghai company? No. It depends on where the company originated from; headquartered. I've owned Fords & Chevys over the years and I really haven't had many problems to whine about especially over the last 20 years, quality has gotten much better. I have a ordered loaded 23 Bronco WildTrak to be delivered very soon 😁 waiting since March. Anyway informative video, But I would have kept the original wheels.

I like Broncos a lot and I’ve got the chance to drive them, the 2 door is where is at, but I feel you should’ve kept the T4R. That’s just me.

Any factory turbo vehicle will come with an intercooler that is absolutely prone to heat soak accompanied with an inadequate pcv system. Those are two main upgrade many would suggest to be mindful of. If you expect to keep this for a similar amount of time as you did for your 4Runner, you will be fluent in water pumps and center differential service/replacement. Keep in mind when you will need to replace your water pump outside of the warranty coverage, it is integrated into the timing system.
