We would like to know a comparison between Badlands and Everglades.

[@RugbyLock2668]

Probably the Badlands to be honest. I really want the Raptor but the markup on those is insane! Glad to see the channel doing well as your 4Runner video on TFL was one of my favorites!

[@Pigstyrob]

I just picked up my 2024 Everglades and I absolutely love it. Can’t wait till it snows again to take it out .

[@jediguy634]

The reason for the 2.3 Eco vs the V6 Eco in the everglades is weight. When Ford did their everglades demo here in michigan a few months ago they said that the weight with the 2.3 plus winch was almost equal to just a v6. By sticking with the 2.3 they didn't have to go and re-engineer the front suspension to compensate for added weight of the wench plus V6.

[@CaptainJacksIsland]

Really? I thought it would've had to do with the snorkel and V6 not working with each other. That's just disappointingly lazy. Suspension seems like such an easy thing to fix.

[@xlthumper]

I don't live near the everglades. I don't even really off road. But the everglades is the one I would get. It ticks all the boxes straight from the factory.

[@markymarc136]

Welcome to New-Brunswick Truck King! and for anybody else who is thinking of visiting, Minister's island is well worth the trip, not to forget the town of Saint-Andrews either!. All i'm going to say is bring your camera!!

[@culinarycaravan]

Terrific camera angles in this post! Viewers really got a sense of what these vehicles are capable of.

[@jesseriley7681]

Absolutely love 💕 the green color you can get with the Everglades package 📦 as well

[@sfscreen]

If the Everglades had the sway bar disconnect then yes. I own a 2022 badlands. Its the best all around bronco in my opinion. I do not like voids in buttons and the missing sway bar disconnect button would drive me crazy. It is needed because even in mud mode, the computer engages it along with the lockers. BTW, the badlands is good up to 34" of water. I doubt i would ever take my badlands in 36" of water. I live in South Florida right near the Everglades and love my Badlands.

[@ebg1222]

Cant wait for the upcoming "Bronco Saskatchewan Sasquatch Edition" for heavy winter areas. Instead of a Sasquatch it will have a white Yeti on the decal.

[@DirtHorse]

The vent tubes for the front diff and trans are already by the brake booster on the Badlands 2.7. If you are in water higher than that... I think you have bigger problems. I really need a snorkel though here in FL!

[@02hreblue30]

the Everglades LOL?

[@fullspeedfordbronco]

I already own a Big Bend Sasquatch, which I absolutely love. Something about the Everglades really stands out…love this trim.

[@R.Nelson]

Afternoon Steve n Howard!!😃we got couple ov yellow Broncos here in town..works getting tough over here..need vacation!!

[@daveallen7767]

2.7 has the alternator mounted way low, centerline is below the crankshaft centerline. So it's no wonder Ford specs only the 4 cyl with everglades

[@sapalobo9723]

Always check your channel. Keep doing it.

[@tragicallyunhip5553]

I’d love an Everglades in green! Awesome video! 🤙

[@robdavidson2569]

i went with the 2022 big bend sasquatch as my overland rig. after 15k in accessories its finished. no regrets

[@FunkMasterJunk]

Great Video Guys.

[@beans4gas]

Can't wait to get my Bronco! Waiting for a good one on IAAI. Going put a LM7 and badge it a Scraper edition.

[@denisleblanc4506]

It is interesting to see the trails the Everglade went trough and try to imagine doing them with the Raptor. There are lots of trails in NB where the Raptor would have trouble squeezing through. Wranglers with big tires barely get through some of them. If I were to get a Bronco and I won't (I'll keep my FJ thank you) it would be the Everglades for NB. Despite the fact that some of our paved roads are so rough the Raptor would probably be the one to get.

[@davidballantyne762]

Thanks for the video guys - New Brunswick is indeed spectacular! I wonder what the wait times are now on these Broncos? It's clear from your videos that they are pretty impressive off-road, but can regular people order the newest model and get it in a reasonable amount of time?

[@ILOVEBACONBOY2018]

Awesome videoing!

[@JustTellMeWhatsInTheBox]

I own one of these and man is it absolutely the best Bronco 🤙

[@jamiecraswell9368]

I drove my 2019 Honda Accord on ministers island ( with low profile tires) wonderful place !

[@panagiotisf7228]

The points you 2 made about water 14 and water and certain trails is the exact reason that we get an Everglades over all the other packages the northeast has a lot of muddy wet tight trails especially in Jersey and Pennsylvania and all these other States up here

[@daveoofer4266]

I want an Everglades so bad

[@arminderrattu5333]

Great video boys, loved that u showed the sencery.. love both Braptor and Everglades models.. I think Ford purposely put the smaller ecoboost in the Everglades so, more ppl wouldn't buy the Everglades version. They should do what they do with the F150 and get whatever engine you want . It's a win win I think

[@mikeriv60]

Adding the Ford procal tuner will make this and all Bronco 2.3 4cyl much more appealing.

[@garretts3619]

Great review!!

[@TruckKing]

Thanks!

[@CarStory]

I have a Big Bend with Sasquatch package and it better be able to drive though high flood water when I need it to. Maybe not 3ft of water but it better be able to handle a surprise flood during the rainy season in Florida.

[@mclroy]

If i was to buy a bronco i choose the everglades one. Because like you said here too in Quebec there is mud, water and snow.

[@atvseatexchange2176]

What brand of coffee was Stephen drinking, got to get me some! Great review guys.

[@DrXtoph]

Great vid! I placed a reservation for Bronco Everglades in June and then switched it to a Badlands 2.7 and now you have me thinking. I live 40 minutes from the Everglades. Did you actually get to drive it in Florida? It's mainly going to be a daily driver but I plan on doing some long overland drives like the Georgia Traverse and parts of the Trans-American Trail

[@4x4hoth]

So fun!!

[@thomasdovi851]

I have an Everglades and it is Awesome!

[@randalsweeting661]

I never noticed the fender change lol. Its on the heritage too

[@RyanLarivee]

You need to come to Prince Edward Island guys..

[@Avidav]

Thank you, thank you thank you! I appreciate calling out how overdone Baja trucks have become. In the UP of Michigan here it’s all narrow trails and mud! The increased with on the Bronco Raptor makes it pointless!

[@williambrady7135]

I like the 2 door version.

[@blackprimetoys7090]

Got my Everglades ordered

[@the_jarmel]

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY EVERYONE

[@mikevincent3780]

I currently have a 22 Bronco Big bend four-door but I am going to trade that one in for the Everglades I just think you get a lot of stuff with the Everglades

[@damiangutierrez9103]

To me it definitely depends on location for choosing what Bronco model will be the best to buy.

[@garretts3619]

My friend has the Badlands, it’s a great truck. For my money, I’d get the Everglades. 👍

[@nelsongrubb8620]

I have a badlands on order that I will stick with cause I want the manual transmission and it is a 2 door Sasquatch

[@teddonley9594]

I've wheeled with a few Broncos and several times the alternator gets smoked during water crossings due to being mounted to low, how did Ford solve this problem in this model?

[@derpatime11]

This model only came with the 4cyl, the alternator is mounted higher on the 4cyl than the V6.

[@charlesnickell7257]

The bronco everglades is the only bronco that I would want

[@MrOconner10]

I have a build date on my Everglades

[@CraigSmith568]

I would choose the Black Diamond over this. I want a two door with a manual trans so this one is out.

[@DRCrimeCircle]

i can cook up a pvc piping and old bronco for 1500 dollars put in a small block tune it and still enjoy the everglades this price is hidious

[@mr.rogers5586]

If it had a manual transmission And manual crank for windows it would be perfect.

[@sapalobo9723]

To Ford. Excellent event.

[@ChrisParayno]

The problem is stealerships just totally ripping customers off. Please FORD and all other manufacturers, offer online purchasing so I customize what I want without the hassle.

[@fabulousoffroaddesigns5080]

In Canada we have federal regulation that prohibits price gouging. You can not sell a vehicle for more then MSRP.

[@DRCrimeCircle]

i know where it gets everyone price

[@rockymountainjazzfan1822]

I'll be blunt--90% of Raptor buyers (pickup or Bronco) are posers that will seldom use the vehicle off-road. That percentage is higher than probably most of the lower level trim 4WD vehicle buyers. Ford got the part right when the offered the Bronco with the Susquatch Package that makes the Bronco a very capable off-road performer at what is, today, a fairly reasonable price. The Everglades Package takes that just one step higher. All of that said, for the Bronco to be truly successful, it must overcome its fairly common reliability issues so far. The somewhat antiquated and not as well-equipped Toyota 4Runner continues to eat Ford's lunch in the off-road SUV market because the 4Runner will easily go 300K miles with minimal problems if it is given routine maintenance.

[@02hreblue30]

same for Bronco owners. And I don't own either. Nearly no one needs anywhere near this capability nor the huge tires, and gas sucking vehicles. Total fad. But I still like them a lot. Nearly everyone is a poser when it comes to all these big trucks and SUVs. MALL CRAWLERS

[@davidorgeron3565]

Posers? Are you a 12 year old?

[@vinny143]

Everglades

[@kevinaluskable]

Everglades would be my choice.

@@95turboteggy65 sure but the investigation is for 2021 model year vehicles (so 2022 and forward don’t appear to have the issue) and only like 25 vehicles have actually had any physical issues. So sounds like the issue is already fixed and it’s just seeing how many already produced models are truly affected.
