Is a 2022 Ford Bronco Wildtrak worth buying or a big MISTAKE?

What did we do here on Raiti's Rides? Let me go over with you how this NEW 2022 Bronco Wildtrak came to be and why we decided to purchase it. Did we consider a Jeep Wrangler or Toyota 4runner TRD Pro? Plus, what about the stories of the 2.7L Ecoboost blowing up. Is buying a 2022 Ford Bronco Wildtrak a good idea or a big MISTAKE?

Great to get your feedback on living with this car. I’m interested in the noise levels and comfort as a daily driver.

[@supershiba.]

I watch your videos to gain insight on vehicles i could potentially see myself purchasing, you often give good advice when it comes to value in comparison amongst vehicles. I think reviewing cars that are generally more obtainable is wise as people like myself watch these videos to be able to make an informed purchase when spending tens of thousands of dollars on a vehicle we will be living with for years to come.

I’m glad that you feel this way!

[@Cgee3]

Joe, what a breath of fresh air this video is. I loved how candid you were about your experience. I think it’s a fantastic idea to get a different type of vehicle than what you are used to. I would also love to hear about how your Shelby and ZL1 ownership is going. I’d also be interested in you getting the new Nissan Z.

[@cz956]

Great idea regarding ownership review! Perhaps a pros & cons “should you tune your ford bronco” or leave it stock video. Whether for more performance or better gas mileage. Alway enjoy watching your videos. I’ve seen your channel grow throughout the years. 👏🏼

[@desertmike680]

So glad you wound up getting a Bronco! Welcome to the family! I opted for a the Big Bend, 2 door in a manual with the signature, LEDs. I wanted to keep it under $40K, and I definitely ended up doing so (mine did have the roof issue, so it was delayed over the summer and took delivery last Oct). With that, you did NOT make a mistake - I freaking, love my Bronco, its been flawless since I picked it up and have zero regrets!

[@luis.capsalot8124]

Thanks Joe !!! I appreciate you being straight up about your experience with your bronco !!! I would definitely like to see videos of your ownership experience with your vehicles like the camaro and mustang. Keep up the great work 👍🏼.

[@MrJack4762]

Thank you. This was one of your best reviews and truly from the heart, I like you ordered my two door wildtrack at the inception and just received it about a month ago. Your not crazy because the two door is vastly cooler in appearance then the four door. I also opted for the larger engine and it killed me not going for the manual, I just could not pass up all that torque. Now two learn from you of possible engine failure with or choice caused me to jump out of my chair. Tomorrow, my first call of the day is to my dealer for further info. Keep on doing what you do best. Thanks again Jay

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks Jay for letting me share it with you! Congrats on your Bronco! Keep me in the loop. You should be in the clear.

[@brunod8702]

We can all tell you and Lori work very hard to bring all this great content. Flying all over the US for the car auto shows is true passion AND dedication. The ownership review is also a great idea. Treat yourself and enjoy the Bronco! Congratulations!

[@aaronskirrow7721]

Love the idea! We ordered our fully loaded Badlands back in October of 2021. Even if we don’t get it until 2023, I know it will be worth the wait.

[@RaitisRides]

You are so right!

[@omar1462]

I ordered my 4 door 6ltr in Sept of 2020, just arrived this week. I rejected it and here is why. The Bronco Video Hype and the Aesthetics of the Bronco were extremely appealing and hot. I turned on the engine and it was a typical Ford POS engine, sounded like my wife's escape. Complete contradiction and not worth $50k. I did feel like you were rationalizing the valve issues and the rooftop issues they had/are having. At the end of the day Ford owns the build, so you can't blame the suppliers. After i tested the Bronco i got back into my 2021 Challenger R/T Scat Pack and the world was good once again. You guys do a great job, keep it up.

[@RaitisRides]

I would take you Challenger for sure Oscar. Thank you for letting me share this with you!

[@beeslandscaping]

Good luck 🍀 on your new ride. Keep doing what your doing thats why I keep tuning in.

[@CrankyPants965]

This video shows exactly how you are so special among the entire KZbin auto family. Very passionate, always productive with love and sincere and truthful messages that delivers to hearts and makes every viewer feel related and comfortable. I absolutely enjoy watching every video you made. Buying a car is difficult (especially in this current market), you’ll need to do the research, but you also need to feel that temperature from a human being, and that is exactly why we are following and watching you. Keep it up! Much love and respect to Joe and Lori.

[@peterleone4493]

Just started watching your reviews about 7 months ago. Detailed, especially as you move around the vehicle, front to back, interior, and test drive. I do like the story behind your beautiful, Irruption Green Ford Bronco Wildtrak. Also great idea to have long term reviews. Lori`s camera work is excellent, very smooth as she follows you around a vehicle. You both make a great team. Keep up the good work. Be safe.

[@mattboumansour]

Love your channel, Joe! Congrats on your Wildtrak! have a 21 Badlands 4dr 2.7 and love it! The valve issue is not widespread as you stated. Not buying a Bronco is what would be the mistake. All the OEM's have problems, the Bronco, because of its timing and popularity has had a spotlight on it, both good and bad. Ford is in front of this and will make it right. This pandemic and supply chain issues have reaked havoc on every industry. You have the right idea on the channel update. Everyone loves a good exotic, but I will say, I only seek out videos of cars that are attainable, just as you mentioned. Most, I think will agree. Love the channel and keep what you're doing.

[@dilligafmofoker]

I want a 2 door bronco. Thx so much for all you & Lori do to bring us great, usable content.

[@Drainage_Eli]

I bought a four-door 2022 bronco wild trak in velocity blue and absolutely love it. I get stopped at Home Depot and numerous other parking lots with people wanting to know more about it. I love driving it to work. I got the soft top and no regrets. Will most likely buy a aftermarket black hard top after they have been test it out. I like building things and have three kids and therefore the four-door was a must as I needed the space.

Your videos are fun, honest, and thorough. I don't think you made a mistake, one bit, in regards to buying a new Bronco. If it's a vehicle you really wanted and were looking forward to; it's worth the wait and delays. Enjoy it! Your video about the Bronco Sport Big Bend is one of the reasons why I got one. My wait time was two and half months; but it was totally worth it. Enjoy your new wheels and keep on making the great vehicle reviews!

[@sethgleason1749]

Congratulations on the new bronco! Honestly you aren’t making any mistakes because bronco is under warranty so anything goes wrong with it and it will be fixed for free while you are owning it. A year or 2 years after the first release are typically to have problems until the company fix the issues then it will be a great vehicle! You definitely got it in right time that has most issues sorted out! Love the vlog style. Bronco will be always my dream car and get it one day when I have money for sure.

[@tkdhanani]

Congrats on the Bronco!! Can’t wait to get to get mine!! It looks sweet!

I agree with you on the 4 door. All of the super cool photos leading up to the launch of it looked badass. Then, I saw one and thought that it was way too long. Only time will tell on the reliability. Thanks for taking the plunge and documenting.

Congratulations Joe & Lori 🎉 BB is a beauty. And I'm glad for you that everything, eventually, workout considering all the delays etc. To the point of ownership reviews, I like that idea a lot. And to do it for the vehicles the "average" purchaser would be looking for is a plus plus. Just a few examples Honda Civic (SI, Touring, etc), Kia/Hyundai SUVs, lower trim luxury vehicles not the dealership available super loaded top trims, mid-size trucks like the Frontier and Ranger - stuff like that. Oh! And I hope we'll get to see Big Bertha aka BB at the 750K Subscriber Celebration event

[@JosephLombardi]

Seeing this video is really helping my worries about getting my Bronco. I'm in the exact same boat, placed a deposit back in 2020, got delayed, got all the branded gifts and apology letters, and got told I would have to have my 2021 model bumped to a 2022. Thankfully, just got word that my Bronco has landed, and I'll be able to take delivery this month! Also, my spec is exactly like yours, I got a 2-door Cyber Orange Wildtrak. Congrats on the new truck!

Great looking Bronco. I test drove a 2-door base Bronco in Eruption Green with 2.3liter/7-speed manual 2 weeks ago. Initially was in California at a Ford dealership. Sold at auction with a little over a hundred miles on it. Wound up in Central Indiana at Greg Hubler Ford. They had just unloaded off of a Hotshot car hauler. Still had the California plate on the back. Was very impressed with it even though it was a base model and I'm a Jeep guy. Going to drive it again hopefully soon and think about it some more.
