2024 Ford Bronco Everglades | MotorWeek Quick Spin

[@KenanTurkiye]

Now THIS is how it should be! Well done Ford.

[@marcg.3830]

I love the new Bronco and the Everglades is my absolute favorite model.

[@sunvegeta]

Just on the interior alone, the Bronco offers more than the JEEP.

[@TrailBlazerSS502]

My second favorite version; the Raptor is still my top pick.

[@Jrob992]

The raptor really sucks unless you intend on leaving it stock forever.

[@TrailBlazerSS502]

@@Jrob992HA! Not unless you put in some serious upgrades. Or maybe buy both.

[@Jrob992]

@@TrailBlazerSS502 you can’t modify the raptors suspension at all due to the position sensors telling it the ecu where the shock and control arm is in the wheel well. Go look at APGS videos. You get a better bronco by buying one with locking diffs and doing the suspension yourself.

[@TrailBlazerSS502]

@@Jrob992That’s more like it, but do remember the cost of it all, too.

[@Jrob992]

@@TrailBlazerSS502 $ for $ the aftermarket will get you further at the same price. BRaptors are cool but they have less of a threshold for being beat on. The suspension bottoming out on a mild jump feels real bad. I was just in one at silver lake and one bad landing set the side airbags off and smoked the side of my face when it wasn’t even a crazy jump. But if you wanted to upgrade your suspension so that doesn’t happen you’re SOL because you bought the raptor.

[@FOXMAN14able]

I really love the Everglades Bronco, Thanks Motor week team!!

[@daison96]

That 2.3 is one of Mazda's best engines--er, i mean one of FORD'S best engines!

[@CalvinHikes]

Is it okay? A three hundred horsepower four banger makes me nervous.

[@daison96]

@CalvinHikes Absolutely. The 2.3 makes 300 hp at the crank with no issues. There have been 2.3 engines that make 500+ hp easily (when modded correctly).

[@bikdav]

@@daison96 That’s a good point. If I remember correctly, I saw a “modified” 80s Mustang SVO done up like you said.

[@bikdav]

@@CalvinHikes That was my concern also. But, lately that concern is being challenged. That engine has been around in various versions for MANY years.

[@arthurcrime]

Unfortunately the 10 speed transmission is one of the worst.

[@RobertSmith-le8wp]

I still see a lot of the 90’s one still around. An older guy has a ‘95 Eddie Bauer that looks showroom condition. It’s about the same green color as this one but it’s 2 tone with the tan lower. At this point might as well drive the old one.

[@davidbaron6647]

LOVE IT!!!!

[@M1000-y8b]

I just wish Ford would make more special editions of this thing LOL

[@LandonMillertotheMaxx]

NOW THAT'S VERY TUFF!!!

WHY ARE YOU YELLING??

@@johndornoff okay, i'm sorry. i just got excited over this bronco.

[@TrailBlazerSS502]

@@LandonMillertotheMaxx Say it loud!

[@dohc1067]

There is definitely a rugged appeal about the truck for sure. I like profile and especially the front end. Otherwise, Ford's engine issues has me wondering 🤔.

[@jefferypayne6573]

Engine issues are no more. The current recall is for 2021 & 2022 2.7L's. This has the 2.3L

[@njv1234]

I want one so badly because I live in Florida, and this is very necessary because of how often it floods here. Also, I can use the winch to pull others out if they get stuck in water , pay for play 🍈🍈

[@najthesavior4286]

I haven't seen the everglades yet in person.

[@mrpoohbearlvr]

Better have a KONG AND TOTAL warranty. Fors recalls just about everything they build now!!

[@marcg.3830]

I know, they’re so unreliable they’ve been the best selling trucks for over 40 years…I mean total junk!!!

[@rossw5576]

Yeah, the masses always make the best decisions.

[@marcg.3830]

@@rossw5576 we’re not talking about Big Macs we’re talking about a vehicle that starts at $40,000. It’s one thing for “masses” to make a McDonalds burger the best selling because it’s cheap than for a very expensive vehicle to be and for people to continue to make it the best selling!

[@rossw5576]

Yes they make bad decisions. It's human nature to be flawed.

[@jefferypayne6573]

They recall because they're responsible. Unlike other major manufacturers that need to be sued to issue recalls.

[@kyrosmike]

Be sure get 2.3L engine Ford's recalling 2.7L 91k of them

[@fullspeedfordbronco]

Haha. There’s less than 1000 engines affected. Do a little research

[@geolehman]

The volume of Bronco theme packages seem to be getting out of hand at Ford. Perhaps they could put more effort into building vehicles, especially trucks, with fewer recalls. That too is getting out of hand.

[@askalotofquestions]

Fair price, I don’t like the interior but being a premium Ford I expect it’s gonna be pretty sturdy inside of there. Just the bluish-grey of it and the bunkin horse on the bulbous center of that steering wheel is pretty tacky. It’d be nice if the windows had some cool fading tints on it or something that compliments the Sasquatchness In the woods feeling it’s suppose to have and maybe if there was a Dark matte gray Sasquatch logo for the steering wheel, that’d be bad*ss! idk it’s just first thing that came to my mind. The interior should also been like a cloth incorporated camo green & tan or somethin. Another thing I wanna ask is about the reliability of it with all that extra weight power and stuff I wonder what the reliability on this thing is gonna be like after it reaches 150,000 miles. The history of thermostats and water pumps and reservoirs going bad (even though they go bad, a Ford is still prenty dependable believe it or not) is there going to be a sort of check up system in the near future? Maybe a cooling filter system? One more thing is gas mileage, we all want an adventure vehicle but the gas mileage number on that is not pretty, the fiesta and focus hatch have been platforms that have performed well in rally and would do great for adventure while still providing great fuel economy, Fords dominance in that area never went unnoticed and they should consider reviving that platform.

[@itsPikachu]

No two door?

[@bikdav]

@itsPikachu: Watch a two come later.

[@KeithSchwerin]

​@@bikdavthey make a 2 door. Just not enough sell to make every package available on it.

[@bikdav]

@@KeithSchwerin Yep. I’m aware of that. I’ve seen quite a few. @itsPikachu is referring to this Everglades version.

[@georgegeor701]

Such a beautiful truck ❤❤

[@esmoglo]

Disappointed you can only get the 2.3 4 cylinder and not the 2.7 V6 its a deal breaker for me

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

A 4 cylinder on that behemoth?? No thanks! It’s going to be a reliability nightmare in a few years!

[@paul5683]

They never did mention the fuel economy. A truck like that on those big tires is going to get about 20 to 23 mpg on premium. If you buy one of these things don't start pitching about the cost of fuel. You made the choice to burn more . Nobody made you buy this truck or any truck/suv for that matter.

[@kevinmckercher]

I get 17 in mine. I think that's close to their claim. I'd get better mileage if it wasn't so fun to throw the hammer down.

[@dueljet]

$57 k for a Bronco seems like a pretty good deal?

[@Cgee3]

With the base engine.

[@ethany7708]

With a junk 4 cylinder too. Ford being cheap.

[@AZSTAR786]

[@Radek3887]

Who is this car for? For that kind of money you can get a Wrangler and customize it with an endless variety of factory / aftermarket accessories. Or, since most of these are going to be mall crawlers, just buy a very well equipped Explorer and have money left over for gas. That snorkel is hilarious.

[@America-The-Great]

This car is for Bronco fans like me😂😂😂

[@kevinmckercher]

100% Me. I hope nobody else buys one. This one will be a collector in 30 years. Bought the time I need to pay for my Funeral.

[@beyondu77]

I'm just not a fan of the Bronco and especially the Bronco Sport.

[@B86432]

These things are a total pos

[@kevinmckercher]

Why would you say that? Do you have some knowledge to share?

[@jefferypayne6573]

What experience do you have with one?

[@kevinmckercher]

@@jefferypayne6573 Not a ton, I only have 5k miles on mine. I'm not sure how many are wheelin, but roughly 20 hours. The rock rails work great, sport mode is really torchy, the ability to lock up front and rear separately is nice. I haven't tried all the GOAT modes yet. It has more horsepower and torch than my 06 f150 with a 5.4. I just went on a week long trip to Vancouver Island B.C, so I know the road noise is louder in comparison to my Lariat, but the ride is almost as smooth. I broke my windshield and punctured and destroyed a tire, but the tire was my fault. I didn't air down because I hadn't installed my compressor yet. My only complaint so far is that it's hard to get in and out for my wife. there is nothing in the front to pull yourself up with. I installed some nice Grab bars, but the stock location for those is really in the wrong spot. I only complain about that, because I think it should sit higher. Otherwise, it's way more capable than the 71 1st gen I used to have. It wasn't super modded out though.

[@truth3598]

Ford quality is crap, I'll pass

[@HypocriticYT]

@@KeithSchwerin what's your point??? I put it in the simplest English possible.

[@jefferypayne6573]

If all you got out of this video is that it has a snorkel...maybe watch again. The cost effectiveness of the factory installed snorkel and Warn winch as well as standard Sasquatch make it a steal compared to most other Bronco trims. I just wish it had stay bar disconnect.

[@user-sk1eh3pg6j]

Ugliest SUV ever. With no V8. 😂

[@KeithSchwerin]

No reason for a v8. You can do good off-roading with a 660cc. Gearing and tire matters much more.

[@user-sk1eh3pg6j]

@@KeithSchwerin Who said it has to have a V8? We don't buy V8 engines because we need em. We buy em because we want em!

[@kevinmckercher]

@@user-sk1eh3pg6j That's what I thought too, but my Everglades smokes my 5.4 Triton in my F-150. Not even close actually. 10 spd tranny in sport mode is pretty impressive. plus I get 16-19 mpg instead of 12. The low end on mpg is because its' fun to floor it!

Plenty of torch to get over the rocks as well.
