The hype is real. The Badlands Sasquatch is an absolute BEAST!

[@minhtuankhuu]

The 4 door ain’t bad either!

[@thepavementendsnow1901]

That’s my build…VIN since May! lol

[@stevedesantolo6794]

J; how will you adjust for the MPG numbers? Meaning, that is a lot of fuel to have to carry with you... Or... did you find an aftermarket larger fuel cell? Thanks for sharing "my" Bronco today :)

[@JustinBMcBride]

@@stevedesantolo6794 there are some hurtles to overcome, but I can’t do much until I have mine here. I really just need about 8 extra gallons which I can get out of two Jerry cans or two Rotopax.

[@gary_michael_flanagan_wildlife]

Thanks for the video!! As an ambassador, can you help me find one less than $76,000? They are so expensive!! The dealer won’t even let me build one starting at $38,000. They are very nice though!! I want the 2 door!

[@andyackerman7123]

I was today years old, when Ford told me my build date.

[@erikschutzman2402]

Those Bilstein shocks are doing work, my friend worked on those.

[@joemzd]

Hey they put the “B.” in your name this time! You were like a kid in the biggest candy store ever the whole video. Good to see you’re having a lot of fun on one of these.

[@christew45]

Justin, awesome video and the Badlands Sasquatch is definitely the best. Can’t wait to hit the trails 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@tigerrn9511]

I appreciate your videos you develop Justin. I find them very informative. Thanks!

[@Skinwalkeroffroad]

Got mine 2 days ago and am blown away

[@NorthShoreOverland]

Man.... That looked so fun! My two door Badlands manual should be arriving sometime this month..... hopefully.... I have a 1 inch level and 35x12.5R17 Toyo M/T's waiting for it! SelfSquatch!

[@jerushafoshee4000]

We have a Badlands in a manual and it’s been fun to drive

[@RichSutherlandBB]

Two door is AWESOME

[@tactical_potato81]

Dude I am so freaking pumped. October 9th will be my time. I kept going back and forth between the two and the four-door and a part of me wishes I had stuck with the two door. But, the extra utility and cargo space of that four-door is something I just couldn't pass up. In any case, great video as always dude

[@rodrigomartinez5591]

Same bro.

[@chaleowin7732]

My only complaint is these trails were already tested to ensure these Broncos can make it with little issue. I remember wheeling with my 74 Bronco on trails in CO I've never been on and never know if I could actually make it....mostly. Badlands Sasquatch is my jam. Love it.

[@MissleT0E]

I mean that’s actually a good thing! 😂😂😂

[@timpirtle3906]

What a great video and it was very fun to watch.....you can really tell how excited you were and how good that Bronco is

[@sierraflycaster]

Loads of thanks for doing this video. Like you I have had my eye on the 4 door mostly because I do a lot hard core camping and carry a fair amount of gear with me. However you may have brought me around to the two door..... Especially with one of the finishing shots with 'tons' of room behind the front seats...That and I live very close to the Rubicon Trail :)

[@weirdsideeffect]

Dude, the Seinfeld quote was great!

[@JustinBMcBride]

Haha! Thanks!

[@BTHAlaska]

I built so many White 2 door Badlands Sasquatch’s on Fords website. If I were to get one I totally buy the exact model you test drove. Looks awesome!

[@johnt6673]

Two door for me please. Yeah the four door might ride a bit better,but no need for a four door for me. Ford nailed the design of the bronco. Would love to hear a 5.0 under the hood. But would take the 2.7 any day.

[@JustinBMcBride]

The 5.0 would be so rad in these.

[@zaphods2ndhead193]

Like you I ordered a Badlands 2 door with sasquatch. It is built and should be here between Oct 16th-22nd. Soooo excited.

[@JustinBMcBride]

THAT IS SO FREAKING EXCITING! I’m having withdrawals right now.

[@mikedsobe]

Awsome video But i like better the trail in moab for the off-roadeo at "dome plateau"

[@jessicag4940]

I felt the same in a four door Big Bend Sasquatch I didn't need more .... but I just ordered a 2 door Outerbanks Lux Sasquatch... I don't think I need the stay bar but the front and rear lockers are awesome along with trail turn assist which were all on my Big Bend.... I went to NH and it went up the ski terrain park with ease!!!

[@zaphods2ndhead193]

Your lead was my lead at the Texas Off Roadeo. He was amazing.

[@DC-ok6bk]

Great content, they were smart to partner with you!

[@camerontolman9894]

this video reminds me how dopey my volkswagen is

[@tonyg4546]

I have that same badlands with the sasquatch package. 2 door Bronco with a 2.7 later. I couldn't agree with you more. I wouldn't buy anything else.

[@gogerwi]

Technology very impressive. Still articulates like a turtle.

[@GarretSterling]

I agree with your title, for the money I would say a close runner-up would be a 2dr SAS Black Diamond, which I can't wait to receive, hopefully 1st quarter of 22 😀

[@scnut76]

Did ya get your BD? I ordered the same thing, just got my build date a few days ago; 3/28. Super excited! And I absolutely agree with you, I was torn between the BD and the Badlands, and I just had to be super honest with myself: When would I, or when have I EVER needed a sway bar disconnect? I've been offroading moderately for 25+ years (some of that time with actual 70's and 80's Broncos), and I just don't see myself ever needing it. I'd rather spend that money on a winch, or a vacation LOL. Anyway, hope you got it and are having lots of fun with your Bronco!

[@GarretSterling]

@@scnut76 haven't heard a peep, no vin. Nothing. It's disheartening to wait this long. Soon enough I will get it and I know i will love it . Good call, winching is more important to me than the sway bar disconnect. And congrats on your build date, hope you're enjoying your new ride soon enough!

[@qcustomz]

Great video. Just subscribed.

[@HisLostSheep]

I just got a JLUR, absolutely love it and not sure why some people complain about the ride quality, including the steering... seems okay to me. But I did not realize Ford offered 2-dr Broncos. That might be a vehicle I may add to the line up in the future.

[@JustinBMcBride]

The JL is the o Lu Jeep I ever considered, and I am so glad I got one. I’m very excited to see what the Bronco will do to push Jeep.

[@ramgav23]

I was there about 2 weeks ago! Amazing experience!

[@johnrossi6212]

Can’t wait to see your content when you get yours.

[@mitchcole2144]

Awesome. I want the four door Bads because of the fam. But I want a two door for myself. …Dang first world problems. Also, I’ve heard the hardtops on the two door don’t have as many issues compared to the four door. Hardtop is where it’s at either way for me though.

[@JustinBMcBride]

I did notice that without the sound deadening on the hard top there was a bit of an echo in my mic. That’s about the only difference I can spot between the 4-door and 2-door tops.

[@abqcrutch]

Just subscribed. Saw the thumbnail of the 2-door and had to watch. Your vid is the first I've seen showcasing the 2-door. I've owned an M38 Willys, an FJ40 and a TJ in the past. Also owned two FS Broncos. I feel the 2-door shows direct homage to the late 60s early 70s Bronco. The 4-door, while cool, is sacrilege, lol. I'm torn between the Badlands w/285s or the Sasquatch. This will be my daily driver. What is ingress/egress like between the two? Thanks for shooting an awesome vid! I really appreciate it.

[@jessebfly]

Yep- I agree, though I'm running a 2door manual Badlands stock. It's partly a daily driver so the 33's roll just fine for town and also for trails. Amazing capability with this ride, and I'm a longtime Jeep runner. My old YJ is a beast and it's a vibe ride for sure, but it's literally like a covered wagon mule ride compared to the Bronco. Lol...

[@mattgeo7284]

Great video Justin, keep up the hard an amazing work you do. I was wondering if you ever use a GoPro?

[@JustinBMcBride]

Almost all of this video was filmed on GoPro.

[@mattgeo7284]

@@JustinBMcBride what GoPro do you use? Also what was your first camera you used to create most of your first vids?

[@JustinBMcBride]

@@mattgeo7284 I currently have the Hero 9. My first videos were shot on a Sony a6000. But I’d urge you to watch my previous video and start by filming on your phone.

[@mattgeo7284]

@@JustinBMcBride thank you for your advice, I already have a GoPro hero 6 but really want to upgrade to the Hero 9 I don’t know if I should just wait a while and just practice with the one I already have. I’m currently going to start making MTB videos. What is your thought? Also thank you for reaching out to me and chatting.

[@jerushafoshee4000]

Heading to Moab in March for the off rodeo

[@dave.in.oregon]

So Cool Rick couldn’t easily handle that trail??

[@JustinBMcBride]

Definitely could. But it isn’t a 100% stock vehicle. And the main difference is that the Bronco can activate the sway bar disconnect while bound up.

[@Wild-Wisdom]

I like those glasses, what are they?

[@jeffontwo8636]

I went to the NV Off-Roadeo back on September 4 and your reactions/excitement is basically exactly how I felt!

[@EricBuenoo]

Even though I’m in the market for a wrangler, it’s nice to see a solid competitor to jeep.

[@JustinBMcBride]

If both a Badlands and a Rubicon were readily available, I would go Badlands 100% of the time.

[@EricBuenoo]

@@JustinBMcBride I think the biggest deciding factor for me was availability and solid front axle of the jeep. I know IFS is capable, just prefer solid axles.

[@ljs2274]

Why does 6 speed not have the turn assist ?

[@mflies2399]

Exactly the spec I ordered. Oxford white 2 door BadSquatch #letsgo

[@phillipadams7472]

Justin - I'd love to see your reasoning for the 2 door over the 4 door? Especially for an overlanding rig. I would also like to hear your plans or any build details. I think that would make a great video too, giving up your opinion and details.

[@JustinBMcBride]

Gotta get the thing here first. There will be lots and lots to talk about.

[@phillipadams7472]

@@JustinBMcBride I know the feeling - I have a 4 door badlands with a build week of 10/11 - I'm at my office with an awning leaning against the wall. I bought that a year ago!

[@broncofun5636]

We went the 2nd day the Nevada Roadeo opened - they had no 2 doors available to drive :(

[@johnburnett1974]

I’m trying to decide on which one to order the 2 door or the 4 door.

[@kurtengelmeier2012]

Will it be long enough to sleep inside it or will you switch to a RTT for overlanding?

[@CSAFMedia]

Justin why did you decide to replace 10:06 your Jeep with a Bronco? I'm researching Overlanding and all I see are Jeeps and Tacomas. It's been almost a year and you now have your Bronco, anything you miss from your Jeep?

[@JustinBMcBride]

Wow - missed this comment. The biggest reason I replaced the Jeep was the opportunity to work with Ford. I don’t own the Bronco, they do. I get to drive it for a year in exchange for content they can use in their marketing materials. While it is similar to the Jeep, it is still very different and stands on its own. There is a lot more to say about it. I think I should make a one year review video…

[@Maurice419]

Would have like to see the bronco more than the trail and the in side.

[@jaredhopkins4466]

Great video. Appreciate the perspective. I did see your comment about the MGV seats being the best Bronco seats. I am torn there. I haven't had the chance to sit in the MGV interior yet, only leather. The real question I have, how bad was the back sweat on the MGV? Better than leather, worse than leather? I just can't seem to commit to the MGV, but I have a feeling that is the answer for me. Had a cloth seat interior Jeep for years, now we have a Sahara with leather in the stable, but that will get replaced by the Bronco (someday).

[@JustinBMcBride]

It was 95° in Vegas when I filmed this. I didn’t even notice back sweat. I loved every minute that I had with this trim.

[@jaredhopkins4466]

@@JustinBMcBride that is great feedback. Thanks for the quick reply! I think it is time to update my order. Again...

[@JustinBMcBride]

The cloth would be my second choice. The leather was stiff and slick.

[@shimmy0825]

How fast did you get it up to? I did LV last Friday and there was one point where we hit 55, absolutely cooking

[@JustinBMcBride]

I would’ve liked to have gotten up to that - I was the second car in the group so I wasn’t setting the pace.

Thanks for the 2door content. More please! ⚡️

[@JustinBMcBride]

Soon enough. Just waiting on delivery.

[@billb9177]

Another great video man! I did the OffRodeo TX and had a major crush on the 2dr as well on the trail. I’m still unsure for overland tho. Sleep-in/cargo/on road handling are my biggest concerns. Any thoughts on those aspects for the 2dr? Feels to me like overland is 4dr, rock crawl is 2dr.

[@JustinBMcBride]

We’ll have to see! I’m planning to turn a 2-door into my overland build.

[@billb9177]

Awesome man. It will be fun to see that evolve. If I didn’t have a little human and a pooch, I’d probably do the same, especially because I would love to evolve into using an off-road trailer, which seems like it would be perfect with the 2dr!

[@minhtuankhuu]

Damn right it is! Wildtrak has NOTHING on it!

[@davidbarron7938]

Badlands may be the best for rock crawling, but my 2 door Wildtrak is the only model with Baja and sport mode. Does things on dunes and fast trails the BadLands can't.

[@JustinBMcBride]

Sport is for asphalt - the Badlands has Baja mode for the dunes too. Unless you’re street racing, the Badlands is still the trim with the most features for all off-road.

[@rodneyrosecrants8910]

Good day Justin, how was the marine grade vinyl interior. Did it seem too hot or cold to sit on for long trail rides..I see you answered the question about the interior for another person. I'm bad... did not scroll all the way down in the comment section. If you had to start with one model, the entry price base model 2 door and add the Sasquatch package, would it be as equal or better than the BadLands Sasquatch model?

[@JustinBMcBride]

The Sta-bar disconnect is what makes the badlands really shine. For me, it is the only trim worth considering.

[@rodneyrosecrants8910]

Justin B. McBride ... Thank for the quick response.. So many options, you forget about what's on the vehicle

[@rodneyrosecrants8910]

Would be great if The Bronco nation offered some price offer equal to or same as the Ford employee program. Maybe this something you could run up the flagpole to Ford, become an patron supporter and receive a discount on purchase of the new bronco.

[@danielfindley5428]

Aren’t you concerned about the small gas tank? You had to get a larger tank for your Jeep because the larger stock wasn’t big enough. Also are you keeping your Jeep since you can’t comfortably carry your parents in this like you did your 4 door Jeep?

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]

I had a 1972 or 74 green 2dr with white top dual tanks senior year and after in the mid 80s. Went crazy Offroading in New England through small ponds with no snorkel just not taking food off the gas and the V8 just blowing out the exhaust just didn't flood the carburetor. Great memories. Is the 2 door a sport or full version? When are you getting yours. Was this a owners' or media event?

[@JustinBMcBride]

Full version. The sport doesn’t come with a Sasquatch package (35” tires).

[@livingworkingoutsidebox]
