Straight up, over 10000 miles on my 21 Bronco and it’s crawled, muddled and hit whoops with some jumping. It’s fucking incredible! Worth the wait (not the American markup gouging but I’m Canadian 😅). I’ve owned some very fun vehicles, the closest being a long travel Gen 1 Raptor. It was crazy but it took serious modification and wasn’t daily liveable, hence why I sold it a few years ago. The Bronco though……. Holy fuck! Out the gate I know I don’t NEED to upgrade it to get into serious trouble… it does 90% of the stuff I liked to do in my Raptor but…. Is insanely comfortable. Gets fantastic mileage for a truck with 35s. Has excellent interior tech. Incredible, but more so, useful Offroad tech. Is narrow enough to fit on quad trails. Can crawl through just about anything and absolutely eats bumps even when you bottom out at full speed (like on a whoop). And daily driving, it’s just fun. I’m not going to lie, I wanted to like it. But I fucking love it. It exceeded my expectations and they were really damn high! Hope they’re able to produce more and that more of y’all can get your hands on them!

Sasquatch, 2.7? Curious where you offroad in canada, surely better/less developed into strip malls everywhere than usa. I wish they had a solid axle v8 version, would be badass too. Realistically though for probably 95+% of people the ifs makes more sense. But i would prefer a solid axle to keep wheels on the ground more. Ifs makes sense to me for high speed offroad, but i dont think thats a great idea in a 40k plus vehicle that is heavy, has many airbags that could deploy, and that you rely on for transportation. Its truely amazing what the side by sides can do now. For the reasons above, i think the bronco raptor, like the svt raptor, will make little sense for most. Unless you live near whooped out trails, you arent going to benefit much from having spent the premium over regular f150s. Some f150s cost so much now though that the raptor makes more sense if you were comparing to high trim f150, since the raptor should lose less value over the years if keeping for a while, and its way cooler. But then people buy what they want, not what is practical. Like people buying dually diesels and they dont tow anything🙄

Im sure bronco is worth the extra cost of parts and repairs, as long as you keep up on synthetic oil changes every 5k to keep care of turbos and idle it for a minute or two before you turn it off to protect the turbos.

I don't know. The jeep in my driveway has been wsy more fun to drive than my year+ old Bronco reservation has been to drive. First non-Ford I've had in a decade.They did mess up.

[@damilolaakanni]

Great job by ford with the Bronco. I'm hoping they'll introduce a pickup version to compete with the Jeep Gladiator.

[@McRaeHopper]

Great job by the Ford DESIGNERS, Ford Corporate has dropped the ball on this release every step of the way.

[@joebi-dome1839]

no point considering they already have the F150 line and the Ranger line

[@freeski08]

Bro, the bronco is based off the ranger platform. So a truck version is the ranger.

[@damilolaakanni]

@@freeski08 the Ranger is only going to come with a fixed roof and fixed doors. It would still be cool to see a ford pickup that implements the Bronco/Gladiator concept. Removable roof, removable doors. And maybe make a Raptor version while they're at it.

[@jman6970]

The 1st generation Mustang and Bronco are effectively timeless in design. Ford learned this with the popularity of the S197 Mustang, and I’m so glad they continued the trend with the Bronco.

[@DanTheVetteMan]

The new Bronco is an example to any company that wants to revive an old badge. It looks so freaking awesome!

[@BH-gh6qm]

looks like a dumb jeep wrangler copy. they could have just made an updated version of the old bronco instead of copying something that has already available for years

James states in the video “they can’t keep up with sales” I have a friend in fords warranty division and they told me that the bronco is severely on back order from leakage issues with the hard top, tie rods are the most common break seen on these things as soon as they hit the trail, and like mentioned it the video they are experiencing incredible markups for basically a lesser jeep. I think anyone who wanted a brand new off road vehicle should just get a Toyota.

[@McRaeHopper]

Ford is absolutely screwing over reservation holders with their allocation process. This whole vehicle release has been a joke. 500+ day reservation holder & I keep seeing people who reserved a few months back getting theirs already. Screw me for finding a small dealer that wouldn't surprise me with an ADM. Reservation time stamp doesn't mean jack. Based on my dealers current allocations, it's looking like I've got 2 more years of waiting left. Build in order of reservation timestamp Ford, not allocation.

It surprises me that Ford can bring back the Bronco and knock it out of the park, while at the same time Mustang Mach E is a dumpster fire

[@aaronthomas6155]

For every vehicle Ford gets right, they have to have at least a few dumpster fires..... I mean, just look at 2005/2006..... We had the absolute abominations that were the 500 and Freestyle that ultimately, nobody wanted and the exceptional Fusion that was selling like crazy.

[@two_tone_xlophone2630]

i'll just say, i'm a landcruiser guy, i have 4 of them, fj55, an 80 series, 100 series and a 200, if they actually stop producing the landcruiser for US markets i may just have to become a bronco guy, brother has one and they're good looking vehicles despite funky color options....not many actual offroad ready SUV's on the market, even my landcruisers aren't as capable as these are from the factory, if the QC is there on the bronco these things are going to be gold and should keep ford in the green for decades to come.

It's not fair that they always say the blazer is a failure because it is not an off roader. The blazer is basically a Camaro SUV. Its purpose is not to be an off roader so they need to stop comparing it to the bronco because they are positioned in a completely different segment. It loses sales because of its price positioning but while GM does not get as many sales, they get more profit per unit. The blazer is doing well for what it was designed to do.

[@kentbremner7828]

It needs a slightly higher tow capacity around 5000lbs. My Santa Fe can tow 3500lbs too

[@marcus2022]

funny how the blazer looked like brand new toyota rav4 nowadays

[@patrickclayton6702]

The baby Bronco is actually a really good little off roader. No, it's not in the same class as it's bigger brother. But to call it just an escape is in no way fair. But you gotta get the four cylinder Badlands version.
