Stem to stern review of the 2023 Ford Bronco Wildtrak.

[@husker_nation]

I'm a disabled combat vet myself, served in the Army for 8 years with a deployment in Iraq back in 2008-09. The window buttons move to the center so you can take the doors off, the weight difference isn't relevant. The Hoss 3.0 suspension is absolutely amazing. I have the Badlands Sasquatch trim and am currently upgrading from factory to the Hoss 3.0 and performance tie rods from Ford that way I can run 37s 😃

[@bardstables8909]

You'll love the upgrade in suspension. It's probably one of favorite things about my Bronco. The ride is just so smooth it's amazing. Thank you for watching.

[@husker_nation]

@@bardstables8909 The price doesn't surprise me for the Hoss 3.0.However, I was pretty shocked how much of a price jump between 35s and 37s are though!

Great review. Thank you. Your Bronco is awesome by the way. I'm 57 years old and have never owned a brand-new vehicle. I live in NYC and never cared about owning anything nice here. Terrible things are done to cars in this city, so I always buy used. This is the very first vehicle that I am considering buying brand new. I love Jeeps and would still buy a 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport any day, but this Ford Bronco has piqued my interest like never before. Thanks again for the review. Have fun and stay safe out there 🙂

[@bardstables8909]

Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate it. If you do buy one in sure you'll not regret it. They are so much fun and after driving it this winter for the first time, I've never felt more safe, or in control. And I drove it for the first time the other day top less, and that was awesome. If you do get one, come back on here and let us know please.

Nice review! I don’t know of one vehicle that every single person 100% loves about every aspect of it. I see many people nit picking about the bronco because it’s too loud driving on the highways , fuel mileage isn’t great etc….its a Bronco not a economical luxury car… It’s more of a mild off road vehicle even tho it has good manors on the highway and back roads….its a much better daily driver than a Jeep imo. I’ve recently bought a 23 outer banks SASQ in the same color. Love the power of the 2.7 and many of the features the bronco offers, I’m not a fan of all the electronics and computer stuff but that’s what’s all manufactures are doing…..it’s slightly difficult getting in the bronco but a minor sacrifice…..other than that I’m in love with mine.

[@bardstables8909]

Thank you my friend. That's one thing I try to get across, is that I love the Bronco and my mustang. But there is no such thing as a perfect vehicle. Thank God, otherwise there wouldn't be any aftermarket companies so that we can make them our own. And you are correct, when finding faults one needs to take into account what they are complaining about. Anyway, I didn't think any of my gripes were anything major, just things that could've been done better imo. I also agree with you that it is better than a jeep. My wife drives a jeep, and u can't stand that thing. And I find getting in to the Bronco isn't as bad as getting out of it. But that might just be me. Lol. Thank you for watching, and taking the time to comment.

[@markcole6475]

@@bardstables8909 totally agree! Upgrading to personalize a vehicle is half the fun…I’ve already added a CVX exhaust and a FMS tuner. Really woke up the 2.7 …feels like a really healthy v8 …again not a fan of the v6 sound but not a deal breaker. Not doing much more to mine so it doesn’t alter the warranty, maybe later on I’ll do more.

[@bardstables8909]

@markcole6475 if you buy from Ford performance, you won't lose your warranty. Not sure if you were aware of that or not.

[@BroncoLife4ever]

Its a twin turbo and the window controls are not on door because it saves weight and keeps doors lighter for removal. Jeep does the same thing as well. Also it seems like your a vet so want to say Thank You for Your Service 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@bardstables8909]

Yes, it was my mistake in the video on the turbo. Thank you for catching that. As for the window controls I can see your point, but I also can't imagine an extra pound, maybe, would make that much difference. I still can't get used to it and I've had the thing for 5 months now. Lol. Thank you on the service. My daughter is following in my footsteps, almost. She is smarter than me, though, and picking something that will help her more when she gets out.

[@skipgumphrey9579]

Slow catching up… had to finally deal with Covid, and now recovering from a recent surgery. If you make it out this way with the Jury we can take my LandCrab out and get them dirty ;) Looks like you’re having fun with it already !

[@bardstables8909]

That I am brother. I would love that, and you've got a deal. Probably won't be this year, but next next year I plan on retiring, then, you're on.

[@markjsram]

Is there a vent under the front seats for the rear passengers? On my Ranger I have that. Looking to get a Bronco in the future…. Oh window switches in the center for less wires to the door

[@bardstables8909]

Yes, there is a vent under both front seats for the rear passengers. It's not anything they can direct or move, but there is a tunnel there to direct air flow towards the back. Stay tuned for my next video, I'll cover my complaints. Overall, I think you'd be happy with it. So far, I love it.

[@markjsram]

@bardstables8909 awesome! I was thinking maybe like a flex tube from under the seat to the middle where the outlets are at, maybe that'll be better for air movement. It'll look a little ghetto lol but at least you'll have air at your body not your feet

[@bardstables8909]

@@markjsram or you could maybe run something up the B pillar on each side?

[@anthonygallo3576]

Why do I have pepper spray in your hand? Good vid with a fee inaccuracies

[@bardstables8909]

Not sure if that was a typo or not. I don't have pepper spray in my hand. Lol. Never even owned pepper spray. The one thing I was wrong on is when u said it was a single turbo. I realised after the video that was incorrect, so my apologies. If I was wrong on something else please let me know. I don't want to mislead anyone.

[@marksjunction69]

So there is a front camera relocate option if you want to put a winch on the front. Thanks for the video. Your wife’s fall off the ladder looked like it hurt.

[@bardstables8909]

That wasn't really her, I just thought it was funny. Lol. Yes, I found that out. I may do it, not sure yet. I need to do some more research on it I think. Thank you for watching.

I noticed our favorite color is RED

[@bardstables8909]

@ I’m seeking in 3 level trims of bronco: Wildtrak, Everglades and Badlands. Like the Wildtrak that has more package. But, I also would like the interior be all black.

[@bardstables8909]

@jamalbailey9204 keep in mind that next year they quit making the WT.

[@jamalbailey9204]

@ huh? Why?

[@jamalbailey9204]

I’ll ask my brother. He is an engineer for ford. He is part of building/designing parts for the Raptors and Mustang engine

[@jasonlivers4293]

The Raptor has the live valve version of the 3.0s

[@jasonlivers4293]

^Fox shocks

[@bardstables8909]

Yes, I love the ones on here. I've driven the F150 raptor, but not the Bronco raptor. But I've got no complaints with these.

[@jasonlivers4293]

@@bardstables8909 My 89 Bronco was by far my fav vehicle ever. I’ve switched sides lately to Toyota but am really having a difficult time choosing between a new Bronco or waiting for the new 4Runner. Total first world problem lol🤷‍♂️

[@bardstables8909]

@jasonlivers4293 definitely, lol. I'd take the Bronco, at least you can take the top off of you feel like it.
