We'll all be in a Prius soon

For those talking about less MPG, I own a black diamond 7 speed MT and I do get 24-25 MPG on freeway with speeds varying from 65-78 mph. It all depends on how you drive.

[@rydingwithryan493]

All I can say is the fact that a 5.7 hemi crew cab ram gets better fuel economy shows this engine is pointlessly small.

[@V8_screw_electric_cars]

For this money it needs V8.

If the Bronco was more affordable and had better MPG it could of killed the Wrangler. Kind of missed their mark.

4 ads on a single video is outrageous

[@medina2303]

Wish they put that transmission on the Ranger

[@sokratzmmf]

So much road noise 😬

[@P4SDetails]

Every time I drive past the new Bronco (trim level notwithstanding) I ask myself if buying a JL was the right choice.

[@povdetailing2552]

the floor with the drain plugs makes this a detailers dream ❤️ btw you were my inspiration to start my very own POV channel!

Driving your car in rainy weather can be very exciting. The surroundings fading through the drops of water are beautiful. Thanks for the good content broග

[@DasWauto]

I really appreciate this video because it is pretty much the exact spec I’m considering for an order. 4 door, manual, badlands, though I’ll probably forego the ‘advanced’ bit. I’m really glad to see that the stability control can be fully defeated, unlike in my Ranger where “advancetrac off” is a lie. The biggest thing that swings this for me is that you seem to drive how I like to drive, doing little skids here and there to have a little fun. Kindred spirit, I appreciate you.

BEST REVIEW of the Badlands 7 Speed! Thanks!

[@maddiephillips6888]

Great backroad driving on the snow…. Couple time it looked like you were headed into the trees!

[@eabdic1]

“That’s a nice Bronco”

[@ameliayang3900]

Hi, Bro I finally got my Bronco Badlands 7MT, after waiting for a year, and now I watch this video every day to learn how to drive manual transmission.

[@kimmoilanen6081]

Enjoying your Bronco drives while I wait for mine. I will have to stop by and let you take a few photos when I get it...

[@batman3875max]

watched a few Bronco review, but your exhaust audio is superb and it is pretty amazing how the 4 bangers sounds. Not bad for a 2.3 turbo and would really consider the manual version of this vehicle

[@Yo_Muthas_Bush]

When folded down, those headrests on the back seat look like Battle Droids from Star Wars 😂

[@sygrene]

Damn man you are ripping that thing. I got a little nervous when you put in two high. That was impressive considering the tyres/gearing
