[@matthewzoelle9149]

I really do like the Bronco, however, Ford Dealers are really ruining the brand for me. Their greed and price gouging have really turned me off. I ended up with a Jeep Wrangler unlimited with the eco-diesel engine. I’m very pleased with it and having bought it at the height of Diesel prices in June I actually paid 1k under sticker.

[@nothingtoseaheardammit]

Don't be angry at the Ford dealerships - be angry at their customers who are willing to pay more than you are for the truck.

[@Pledgeman]

I agree. Had an order for a Bronco, went into the dealer to test drive the one they had, and was told no test drive. They didn’t want miles racked up on their Bronco. After I complained the manager called me back offering a test drive. I refused citing damage was already done.

[@watchreport]

That was a great video Roman, very honest and straight forward. I too share the likes and dislikes that you pointed out. I took delivery of my 2 door Badlands December 5th last year and can say my wife and truly like it. Our dealer was great, we paid sticker price for it just as stated on the day 2 reservation order. First real test off road was last weekend in the eastern slopes of the Rockies west of Calgary AB Canada. The off road tech is amazing especially the trail cruse control. Driving down a -22 degree cutline set at 2 kmph, the way it completely controls the break and throttle is just mind blowing. We had one warranty issue, the FWD Module failed and our dealer have it repaired in 2 days and no problems since then. I so happy I bought it, I think Ford did a great job on bringing back this Icon of an off road vehicle. Thanks again for your review.

[@brandondenucci]

I’ve had my First Edition for 8 months now and 0 issues. I traded my 2020 JLRU Diesel in on it (which I loved) and have never looked back. Truly a great vehicle!

[@smavery]

Great video and relevant content. I'm still waiting on my 4dr badlands Sasquatch ordered originally in 2020. I've done the off-rodeo in Texas, so I know it is worth the wait. Your long-term feedback on this vehicle is valuable information for me. Thanks for taking the time to share it with all of us. I really enjoy your channels. Keep up the great work.

[@ZenEndurance]

I just went off roading in my 2020 Ram truck with the off road package today and I can’t say enough about how capable modern 4x4s are and how enjoyable it was. They climb over anything with no effort and the suspension is gentle but firm. Just like this video, you can drive anywhere and enjoy them with confidence and relax. The usability of the tech in the Bronco is amazing.

[@danodonnell2704]

I really like the Bronco, had one on order and after 6 months I pulled my order. I got cold feet, and went with a Rubicon. I like most of the styling of Bronco, except for the instrument cluster-- glad to see the Raptor Bronco got it right, hopefully Ford will use the cluster in all other Broncos. Thanks for the time you spend reviewing this new Bronco

You know what I hate about the Bronco? The fact that I ordered one a year ago and they are telling me my estimated build date is "sometime in 2023". Elon had it right when he called Ford "The Morgue". I have been a Ford owner for many years and can't believe how upside down they are right now.

[@bobchronister3429]

As a Bronco owner "In waiting" I appreciate the observation that the Bronco isn't better than the Jeep, just different. I really like that view. Hopefully one day mine will be built and I will get to get out there and go off roading. Great review, keep up the good work!

I just hit a year in my Badlands. I took delivery on 8/10/21. For me, being a daily driver/off roader, it's pretty much exactly what I wanted. I have had a couple of minor issues but mostly just fixed them in my garage. Agree on OnX Offroad - the carplay integration is great and I can download the maps, display them on the big giant screen in the middle of the dash, and it's a fantastic experience. Speaking of Korea, I wish I'd had a Bronco when I lived there. It's narrow enough for the urban streets in the neighborhoods, the cameras are fantastic for parking, and getting to Yongpyeong on a snow day would have been no drama at all (outside of the traffic). We watched a guy sink his camper trailer one day while we were camping out on the Hongcheongang. There were places to off road there, but not like here.

[@jcollins1305]

So well said Roman. We ARE blessed to live in such a great country. Have a great week sir.

[@wc8289]

Love my Bronco. Off-roading it has been completely awesome and it really does get a lot of looks. I personally think the Badlands is the best model for the price. But if you didn't pre order the vehicle at a dealer that isn't going to screw you, then it will be difficult for some to get this awesome SUV

[@Aurongel]

Really wish I opted for the Badlands over my current Outer Banks but I guess I'm glad I stuck to my word about trying to keep it specced below $50K. It's far from a perfect vehicle and I've put it through its paces enough at this point that I have a laundry list of (mostly) minor complaints. More than anything else though, it's already been more refined, comfortable and reliable than any of my previous 3 Jeeps.

[@jasonpitts8395]

I really like the Bronco but the dealer markups are ridiculous. My buddy ordered a new one 6 months ago and they just told him 2023 at the earliest. Manufacturers are going up in price, dealers add their $30K, and the value of the dollar is going down. For that reason I would order a jeep due to cost alone.

[@Stabby666]

The dollar is at a high right now, due to the oil crisis.

[@deejay2793]

If the dollar is at high, everything else is still higher.

[@2011blueman]

If you order them there generally isn't a markup, it's only the ones on dealer lots that have mark ups. Mine was delivered last December, paid MSRP, easiest car purchase of my life except for very long wait time to get mine.

I currently live in Korea, and you're right. Off roading like in this video is doable. Korea is mostly covered in mountains so there is always a road somewhere to go.

I was wondering where he got the idea they "stole" the headlights. All headlights were round back when the Bronco was designed. You either got two big ones or four smaller ones although the four headlight system was mainly used for cars.

After a year of ownership, you didn't have a whole lot of negative comments or gripes on the truck, that's pretty telling of the vehicle.

Other than forest rock crawling where the trails are a very specific width, it basically is. The only exception is that the 4xe and 392 are stronger than it, but that kind of power in a Pentastar-level chassis with solid front axle and recirculating ball is a disaster waiting to happen. With the Bronco Raptor, at least the 400+ hp and lbft will be usable. The Bronco almost across the board has better angles, bigger tires, more clearance, more water fording and better ride quality. It also doesn’t look like it was made 10 years ago on the inside.

As wide as the bronco is, when I take my doors off for off roading, my mirrors aren’t in the way of narrow trails. Also, Ford should have analog RPM instead of digital read out.

My wife, believe it or not, ordered (wait time over 5 months) a 392 Rubicon Wrangler complete with the Xtreme Recon package - she loves it!

Further, I have no condescending names to call the Bronco, as I see Jeep (Wranglers) and Broncos as pretty much equal performance/capability-wise in the real world, both on/off-road. Just got back from a 2400 mile road-trip (CO/NM/TX and back to CO) and my Gladiator rode very smoothly (due mainly to its longer wheelbase I guess)...a very nice road-trip/hwy vehicle. OFF road, it's the Top Dog Jeep (Rubicon trim) so there's nothing as-is/from the factory "better" out there in the "serious off-road-focused 4x4" mid-size segment (have no interest in the 392 Wrangler, as it's just a vanity-vehicle with no practical use/value whatsoever -- same as the Bronco Raptor). IMO, TODAY'S Jeeps (Wranglers/Gladiators) are the best they've ever been...when I got mine (April 2021) off a Jeep dealer's lot they had PLENTY of Wranglers/Gladiators to choose from then (even when Chevy Colorado ZR2s were unobtainable on Chevy dealer lots).

I always figured the big round headlights were from the first generation bronco of the early 70s, not a scout. I’m interested in why the scout would have anything to so with it?

I am waiting on a Bronco Raptor, I think I’ll be waiting a while because I’m not paying over MSRP.

[@flaxseedoil1000]

Did you have any problems finding charging stations? /s

[@BryantBaudelaire]

As a Jeep owner! The bronco is a carbon copy of the wrangler

[@GeekMarine72]

Question, I've noticed a lot of used Broncos coming up for sale locally. Like a shocking number. Was there anything in your expereince that might explain this?

[@mdecicco141]

Probably that people can still get more than they paid for it.

[@ZenEndurance]

I think Jeep should make a Jeep XL. basically a full size Jeep because a reason lots of people won’t buy a Wrangler is they are too small inside. Imagine a Wrangler that’s just a bit bigger in each direction. Like how the 80s Bronco was based on the F150.

[@brandonmoore1930]

Yeah but it would still be a Jeep

[@jeffforbes70]

you can buy a seat relocate and move the seat back 5 or so inches. it does help with, but it does help with leg room

[@kobyashee1832]

Wranglers aren’t for everyone nor should they be. Wranglers are built to serve a particular purpose and those objectives are compromised by increasing its footprint. Jeep already makes the vehicle you described - it’s called the Grand Cherokee - and caters to those folks who need more room/different features.

I know it was part of your stick in the early days " this Mita doesn't tow as well as my Jeep Wrangler "... but gosh the one time your off handed slap across the face statement would make sense.. not a peep!!:)..( still good job.. Cheers

@The Fast Lane Car: What are the plan? Will it be sold like the TRX?

[@RonSoss]

Has the leaking roof issue been fixed? That's a deal-breaker for me on any vehicle, let alone one in this price range.

What happened to the cliffhanger trail???? Haven't seen it in a long time.

[@TeXasDadBod]

As a dad I’m having a hard time deciding between a Bronco Raptor or a new Raptor Truck . Which would you get if you had dad stuff to do but still want something fun for the kids on the weekend ?

[@lowdogg79]

If you don’t already have an order in on the Bronco Raptor, you’ll have to be willing to pay 40 or 50k over MSRP to get one.

What was most sawed after vehicle in the 80s Roman?? Was it Chevy Caprice?

[@richardthomas1531]

You left one important thing out. Aftermarket accessories..You can build the most capable Bronco you can.And it would never reach the build available for the Jeep. THE LEGEND.

[@The-fs5wn]

Come back to this comment in 5 years when the aftermarket support is probably the same for both.

I wish they would make a non-removable top to cut down on the noise when driving these vehicles, jeep included. Also add time stamps had to watch at 1.5x

Love team tfl. Y’all r ding tremendous work. Got my vin on my basesquatch. It’s all I need and fits my budget since these can get pricey. No issues w price gouging. I don’t play that game. Thanks

[@johndc7446]

I hope jeep makes a version of wrangler that is mainly for daily driving similar to broncos. And more reliable ones.

[@darrendaine4914]

Let me tell you the one thing I hate about the Bronco I was a reservation holder converted to an order 21 told it was gonna be a 22 and it's been 15 months where is it?
