I got my bronco in October of 2021, just reached 20k miles on it. Been fantastic. Big Bend 4 door with rear locker (4.27 diff) running 35 inch sasquatch takeoffs. Couldn't be happier, especially with how I was able to keep everything in budget.

[@PlayStationatorTV]

How’re your mpg with the 4.27? I got a black diamond cuz it has the 4.46 ratio but my mpgs are like 16-18 with 35s-i was hoping it’d be higher. Though my lift is probably the main culprit

[@jeremyclarkson-69]

​@@PlayStationatorTV 2.7? Or 2.3?

[@cyaw11]

I've been watching for a long time. But when you said all Broncos at MSRP I called up and placed my reservation. I also believe my sales rep and Town and Country helped me get mine faster. I'm glad Michael talked me into the soft top so I could get my color and Bronco faster. Best experience ever in buying a vehicle and I would do it all over again.

Hi Mitchell, I want to thank you for tell all of us to make sure your dealership is selling only at MSRP. As bad as I wanted mine I woulda paid over MSRP, but thank goodness my dealer here in California kept there word and sold it just like they promised. Thank you also for all the great videos and showing us all the upgrades that have and haven't worked and just the thoroughness of the videos. And I 100% agree the Rockslde Engineering steps are the best, if you don't have them you need them!!

[@OMG_No_Way]

My dealer in Phoenix kept their word as well. As much as dealers suck. It’s nice to see there’s a few out there that don’t bend their customers over by adding a mark up. I feel bad for the people that had that happen to them. It’s sucks. It’s all about greed to them.

[@caitlynjo15]

Mine also kept their promise. Just got mine yesterday, but I was so nervous about it. Thankful I knew ahead of time to look for that!

[@descent575]

@@OMG_No_Way what dealer did you go with?

[@christianbolt5761]

The concept is fantastic. I just hope they will sort out all the kinks.

[@OMG_No_Way]

I’ve had my Badlands SAS for about 14 months. I got about 17,000 miles on it. It’s spent close to a month total at the dealer. 3 weeks of that was for chasing an issue that acted like the battery was dead when it wasn’t. Literally no power to it. They couldn’t find the issue. Finally it was fixed and no more issue. We’re thinking some connection, somewhere, was loose. And with them going over everything they accidentally plugged it back in solid and it fixed it without knowing it. The other week it was down was for waiting on parts. Had a mouse/rat chew through some wires that told the transfer case to shift into 4WD. Besides that, zero issues.

[@hajjdawood]

Ive owned my bronco for over a year, 7 speed manual 2.3l badlands 4 dr. Has run perfectly so far, just one recall for the rear door child lock

[@sock979]

Cool video as always I actually finally got my bronco on 2/25/23 and I ordered it in June of 21 so we'll over 18 months. Everything's been good except I had a error light for the electric steering and it really made me wonder why I even bought a new car. They said that I would have to take it into the dealership and it was a three to five day wait and I can't make an appointment. They already knew they weren't going to get to till Wednesday. They don't give out loaners and they expect me to leave my car there for 3 to 5 days without any transportation. that's ridiculous. Why can't I just make an appointment for that day and I get it? I get that it's s not going to happen exactly when I drop it off but the point to me at least of getting a new car is you know there's not going to be problems and if there are you're going to get taken care of whenever we bought new cars in the past if there was any issue or even if I just couldn't get the car right that day we always got loaners so we always knew we would have transportation because we pay that extra and we went to the dealership. I just don't see the point of going to a dealership buying a new car anymore. If it's going to be like this, the bronco is special for me but it ain't going to happen again putting up with all this stuff and I'm not talking about your dealership in particular but the dealership I went to made it sound like it's like that at every dealership. I mean the only reason I've gone through all this with the bronco is because I had a 1990 bronco as my first car. I've loved them ever since and I remember when the prototype came out in 2004. I said as soon as they actually come out for production I'm going to get one but I don't think I'll ever buy another new car if it's going to be like this from now on and I really want to get one of those. Maverick tremors

[@christophercatrambone227]

Great video Mitchell. Thanks for sharing this. I really love the full disclosures and all the T&C TV content. I've had 4dr Wildtrak with Lux package for 3 months (as of today actually), and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT (being in it, looking at it, driving it...). The only issues I noticed on mine are: (i) the window on the driver's side read passenger door does not drop as fast as the other doors do when you open it - my dealership knows about it but I have not gone there to have them fix yet; (ii) there is a road section bump on the Mass Pike and every time I drive over it (at probably 35-40 when merging on to the highway) the passenger side rear makes a squeak noise - no idea what it is...not really an issue?; and (iii) I notice when I drive 75+ (and esp. on windy days) there is a whistling noise as if there is a hole in my bronco lol - I do not hear it at lower speeds, but its probably the wind on the vehicle. The last two are nothing crazy...just observations. Regardless, nothing bad has happened with my Bronco to date *knock on wood* and it runs better than I ever expected. This probably sounds "weird" but sometimes when I get out of my Bronco, I turn around and say "good bye see you tomorrow [or after work]."

[@noramadden2976]

i have the same issue, the whistling is from the top front corners of the front windows if that makes sense! the dealership should fix it but they're having trouble sourcing the parts. if you hold up on the window buttons for a few seconds sometimes it makes it better, I hope this helps!

[@pedrocaballero1497]

As far as all the repairs, warranty or otherwise, what would the actual out of pocket costs would have been if this wasn’t warranty work?

[@draughonc]

Took receipt of my Bronco end of July '22. 1,600 miles as of today. Not my daily driver. Only concern is the A/C seems to be flakey.

[@rinaldocatria4386]

Great content .. EXCEPT….You had a valve cover gasket replaced, not a head gasket replaced. There’s a huge difference. What you had done is minor. A head gasket replacement is MAJOR and would have likely involved coolant and and oil mixing and possible major engine damage.

[@onehappyfarmer3461]

Put a lift kit on and 37 in tires and they become a real head turner. I get all kinds of compliments on mine.

[@SaleemMajor]

It’s definitely a head turner when lifted with some big tires .

[@darkpill]

Colour is 👌🏻. Gonna wait until the refresh assuming they don’t cost $100K

[@Dawndre_]

I cant wait to get a bronco one day! I love that yours get so many looks! Hoping I can win it!

Wish there were items available for "purchase for entries" that had only TC Customs logo.

[@keithfitterer6899]

What is the oil change recommendations on these 2.3 and 2.7 eco boost engines?

[@rzjk301]

8:54 valve cover gasket not a head gasket. Head gasket would require the heads to come off to replace the gasket plus you will have a milk-shake in your oil pan.

[@geradpoxleitner1411]

Mine had the same problem as yours with the drivers side valve cover gasket started leaking about 2500 miles fixed it at around 8000 miles new one has not leaked since.

[@TCcustoms_]

Yep! Exact same!

[@georgeflores4433]

What offset are those wheels ? Also how does it do with such a big and wide tire off-roading and power wise ? TY

[@EngineerZX]

Question: With the front winch,, does that affect your front camera (360 cam)?

[@jumapelljohn3958]

Great info as always. Considering a winch capable bumper on my Badlands that came with the capable bumper. Would you do the ADD again for a winch or is there any other you would like to try?

[@TCcustoms_]

Yes. LOVE my ADD! I would also consider the FabFours Stubby, or the FabFours Vengeance. Give us a call, we can hook you up with a discount on any bumper you want! 205-491-0010

if yur dealer is in MI i would love to come and check one out i avent seen the new bronco in person yet someday when i can afford one

[@brianmulqueen7469]

The exact same issue with you’re valve cover gasket did happen to another bronco I worked on recently and it was not secured properly so it could be a problem

[@ilovecars2978]

Only issue I have had with 25k is a front gear differential seal leak. Fixed under warranty. No big deal. Everything else great!

[@rubo1964]

I bet they over filled the fluid at factory.Most times seals leak because of too much fluid pressure

[@rumpestillskin4671]

How many drive shafts have broke ???

[@coryulferts6276]

Head gasket at under 400 miles that is concerning I’ll wait till second gen! Same thing with my F150 quite a few issues with first gen not many with second gen🤔😂

Valve cover gasket?

Mine broke down as well at 4K miles. Had to have the entire engine pulled and cham phasers replaced.

[@Blue_Flame_Raptor]

Why?

[@J_Madison]

@@Blue_Flame_Raptor The dreaded tick that is common with every other vehicle with the 2.7. Starts sounding like a large diesel engine.

[@Blue_Flame_Raptor]

@JMadison never heard of that. I had a 3.5 that rattled but supposedly the 2.7s were much better. So far at 8k miles no engine issues

[@morningdrums]

I still am on the fence about getting the ford bronco. I had thought possibly of getting the badlands. I really like the hood you have installed on this bronco. I really don't know how to get a hood like this on this beautiful bronco. Don't know if I would get the winch and I'd have to ask myself how often I'd need to use it. I would want a hard top not soft top since i live where there is lots of snow.

[@EvilSlayer398]

You may not think you would need a winch, but when you do need it, you need it. Better to have one on those rare occasions. Especially of you get stuck on a trail, with nobody to help. Sometimes all you can do is winch off to a thick tree and use it to help pull yourself out

[@morningdrums]

@@EvilSlayer398 I see your point. I'm not sure what trim I'd get if I go this. Lots of money. But the add ons look amazing

[@Jay-qn1cs]

Why people waste money on American made vehicles is beyond me 🤔🧐 Every Ford I've had has been in the shop more than once. My 96 Camry, 04 Nissan Altima, 01 Lexus and now my 09 Highlander was never in the shop🙄 My Grand Prix and Cadillac...shop, shop, shop. The Ford Crown Victoria is a keeper.

[@robertcroce1800]

Do lifts affect the warranty?

[@jeffk464]

I think they have to prove that your mod was responsible for the failure. If you put over sized tires on a truck you change the gear ratios and add more strain on the power-train. I could see it voiding the warranty on some failures. Probably depends what breaks.

[@MrHernandez1994]
