The crash test information you just talked about is huge information know one else has covered that I know of. Great work Truck King!
I haven't heard it mentioned anywhere either...its great information for those that need it for sure.
Truck king and prince lol you forgot to say prince 👌👌
And it's still going to get a high mark in its crash test
Town and Country mentioned the bar delete, but not that it won't be tested with the sasquatch package.
There’s actually a thinner aftermarket crash bar that you can buy that clears the Sasquatch wheels in the front and rear from what I’ve seen other you tubers show, when they also showed this issue. So these guys aren’t actually the first and only ones to talk about it.
Chevy should be ashamed that they didn't make the Blazer into something more like this. I grew up a Chevy guy and I am ashamed of where they have taken that company...
I agree GM really dropped the ball with the new "Blazer"...its nothing more than another 4 door soccer mom mini-van :(. Loved the old K5 Blazers.
Agreed. They should have made it an SUV version of a Colorado and than offer a ZR2 package like the Colorado
Chevy seems to cater to on road handling, payload capcity. Chevy can do better and be more competitive.
@@CarnutMM That would have been great.
Agreed! The only crawling the Blazer is doing is mall crawling. ☹️
Your crash-test info was rather eye-opening. Thanks for following up on that.
This Bronco review should be the first one you get when you search for it on KZhead. Excellent work dude and dude's father
Test drove a 4 door Badlands and absolutely enjoyed the interior space and ride over my Jeep Wranglers. There would already be one in the garage under normal circumstances. Enjoyed your review.
Yeah, it's likely to be 2023 before there are broncos available on dealership lots that don't have a markup.
Love your videos. Here in Colorado there are a few channels that have put the Bronco through it’s paces. Mostly rock crawling or extreme trails up in our mountains. Loved the other demonstration you have done which showed a completely different terrain with mud and deep water. You have truly proven what a capable vehicle this is. Thanks for what you do. Your channel is absolutely a favorite of mine.
Facts
Brings back memories of when Steve was with TFL...he does a great job testing on terrain similar to what we have here in Northern New England. I was spoiled living in Colorado, driving in VT, NH, and Maine especially in winter is no joke. There's no high altitude sun gonna burn the ice/snow off the pavement like back on the front range.
I am a GM guy but this was impressive. I particularly enjoyed your enthusiasm and constant narration.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You guys brought out a lot of unexpected emotion in me when watching this video. Memories of my dad and I and our old Broncos, and thoughts of my future experiences in a new Bronco I have on order. Sadly, my dad passed away a few years ago, and will never get to experience the new one with me. It was so nice to see you and your dad enjoy these excursions and it really warmed my heart. Thank you for sharing them with us all.
After attending the Bronco Off-Roadeo in NH and really learning how to take a Bronco off-roading, not just taking my prior trucks on the beach I can say I have such deeper appreciation for how well narrated this content is while off-roading. Not an easy task to narrate that well while still focusing on everything you are doing. Great content as always guys.
The sasquatch is a well known as a "Jeep thing" like the pic ax and shovel just shows what the gold standard is
Can’t wait to get mine
That Bronco is a legit off-road beast!! Great job Stephen!
I was of the opinion that one pedal driving is intended more for rock crawling scenarios where you are at odd angles and need more control to help stop/start the vehicle while on obstacles and odd angles.
It's also referred to as hill descent assist,which is exactly how they used it when they went to the Ford Bronco test range and had their first Bronco experience.
That is what "1 pedal" is for. Keeps you from having to stand on the brakes while going over rocks.
In an automatic, use the left foot on the brakes when rock-crawling - this allows complete control over speed; however, the one-pedal system's even better!
An honest, entering review about an incredibly capable vehicle. And Dad’s camera work is great, as always.
Glad you enjoyed it
Going into Rock Crawl mode instead of Mud and Ruts may have impacted your ability to get through the ditch more quickly.
I agree
So would switching to nitto grapplers. You can only go offroad as far as your tires can take you, regardless of the platform.
@@saltyfloridaman7163 You need a true MT for those conditions
First channel I have seen that has its own test course excellent. Your dad is awesome.
Just a suggestion from my 50+ years of off road driving experience. You might want to learn to never hook you thumbs inside the steering wheel. Especially in "Baja Mode". It's something you learn by constant training whenever holding a steering wheel, when on or off highway. Or conversely the first time you hook a wheel in a rut at high speed and have your thumb(s) broken off. Again, only a suggestion. Keep up the good work, your videos are informative and entertaining. Thank you.
this guy cheers the Bronco on like it's a toddler taking its first steps, and it's wholesome, and I'm here for it.
Driving lessons couldn't hurt. Thanks for the video.
BRONCOS ON PARADE!
For the love of god air down the tires.. both of the first two obstacles would of been 100% without drama had you aired down. The one pedal drive is for use in more of a rock crawl situation for those without the ability to two pedal drive with the brake and accelerator. Between that and the trail control it’s literally a game changer.
he wanted to demonstrate STOCK ability as off the showroom. Im all for it. Armchair QBs not apply. I will be waiting for your demos. Stephen and his dad do legit work.
Will always love Jeep’s, but so glad to see a worthy contender built by Ford, would love to have seen GM Trailblazer build a dog to be in this fight. Funny I’ll never own either, but I really admire the Jeep builds you see everyday, can’t wait to see what people do with the Broncos!!! Great Video.
As always great video great information, "better than anything on TV". And it's not complaining it's giving us your honest opinion which is what we need making a expensive decision. And I've gotta say as a dad in my mid 50's myself I really NV you making such great memories with your son. Two 👍🏻👍🏻for y'alls channel.
I can say the Bronco does sound louder inside than Wranglers they've tested....I watched a video on another channel that had the same comments, and I thought it had to do with the roof rack bars, but the Bronco in this video doesn't have them and still has the same wind noise, so obviously its just the way the top is...maybe Ford should have had a collaboration with Jeep on how to build a modular top...the original Broncos had 1 piece tops but had far more wind noise than the new Bronco, and we shall see how they do in years to come for leaks...the old Broncos would leak all over the place after a while taking them off and putting them back on especially when people got careless with them and damaged the seals.
I appreciate that!
Chevy man here but may look at that Bronco for sure in two years from now with the price drops !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I like your reviews because I feel like I’m right there with you checking out the vehicle. It’s real advice from real people.
The bar disconnect makes a big difference but you just had to give it momentum.
My White Outerbanks 2 Dr 2.7ltr 10sp auto "OJ" is being built the week of Dec 20th, 2021! Gonna be driving it I hope New Year's Eve. This video showed me a lot of unique things and reconfirmed my decision in ordering one a year and a half ago.
Appreciate you guys work on this. You clearly had a good time with Bronco and I hope your pops got his britches dried out quickly. Just got my Bronco Badlands Sasquatch two days ago and cannot wait to get it on the trails. Thank you!
Great commentary on the crash bars. Any F-150 owner who tries putting on larger tires with a lift encounters this same dilemma. To cut or not to cut. Incidentally, the Raptor doesn’t have the crash bars for the same reason this Bronco doesn’t. Can’t fit the larger tires. Also, really cool about those Goodyear Wranglers. Haha
I just bought a 2023 Bronco Badlands Sasquatch and bought it for the way it looks. Glad to know it can do all this, even tho I'll never use it. Thanks for this very informative video.
I love the work you guys do! Thank you for a great practical review!👍
Enjoyed the video and your tests for the Bronco were very impressive. I share your enthusiasm for its performance and features. I hope this video quiets some of the Ford critics that think that an independent front suspension cannot perform off road. That one pedal feature is cool and so is that turn assist function, lock unlock sway bar...nice!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for a great and different review. Nobody reviews anything on a wet track. Wet tracks are much harder to do anything due to less traction. Your mud is very slick. This proves the Bronco is up to the job.
Sounds like son's pants got wetter than dads with all that excitement! 😃
That was great. Looks like Ford has a real winner off-road, and even on the highway. Thanks for a great video.
What you just tested is my dream vehicle! Thanks, really enjoy your videos.
The Goodyear Wrangler tire being rebranded Goodyear Goodyear is a good insight into the war for market share. LOL
dude, you're awesome.. really appreciate your effort.. been watching tons of bronco videos and this is the 1st time i hear about crash bars
Finally a channel that Properly torchered tests Ford bronco off Roading great video good job testing the bronco to see what the capability's are out of stock...
Thanks! 👍
Was anyone else thinking something else when he was saying "Let's go Bronco!"? Great video btw!
I was waiting for this vidjéo, been a real mess up this way with all the rain this fall. Good job as usual fellas🤙
Nicely done BRONCO
Best off road review of the Bronco, great job!
2:20 - unparalleled excellence and responsibility on your part. This is such an easy detail to miss and very important to some people. You went far and above a regular review. I am certainly subscribing to your channel. Well done!
Hands off very best review of the big bronco, thank you King Crew for your wonderful reviews
Enjoy the channel, glad to see it growing...hopefully next year you can get a Bronco Raptor on 37's to test...
Best Bronco Review That I have seen. Awesome! On another note, I wish provinces that have front license plates would great rid of them. They really take away from a vehicle.
Thanks for the ride guys. I'd love to get just the base model 2 door Bronco, I feel as though it would be plenty capable for no farther offroad that I would venture...I have an 88 Bronco 2 without any modifications just larger tires due to the lack of stock size tire availability, but otherwise, no lockers, no sway bar disconnect, etc....it goes wherever I would want to go, so I think a new base model 2 door Bronco would serve me well especially for those back road drives and going up to camping spots. Looks like those offroad themed Broncos are gonna really push Jeep to work on their Wranglers some more....that Bronco looked great out there on the Power Line trail...nice camera work.
Especially like the father's opinions. Great job 👍
Thanks! 👍
Super fun to watch, I felt like I was literally there with you guys. I just got my bronco badlands and this will help a lot! Thank you!
Thanks for your review, and shout out to your dad for his footage and it adding to the overall presentation! What you covered seemed spot on, at least to me - all very good information to know and see!
Much appreciated!
This video is very good. It has very good tests. The bronco is my favorite mid size SUV.
Great heads up on the front crash bar with Sasquatch...
Great video, I have a Rubicon and love it but like the way the bronco looks. Only seen a few of these on the road and would love to sit in one.
A straight 6 in it would be awesome! Thanks for the awesome review TK!
Closest to that would be the Ineos Granadier , no stick shift though.
Good morning Truck King!!...Iv just started seeing them on the roads...seen three Bronco's yesterday at work on break
I like this configuration. A big thumbs up.
Great ride along! Thanks for sharing it. I can't wait to get my 2 door Badlands Sasquatch.
Did you get it yet? I got my 2 door (Base) manual about a month ago. Love it!
@@mawage666 Nope, still waiting for my Velocity Blue beast to be born. Ordered November 12, 2021. Glad you took delivery of your own, though!
@@BuckingBronco I had thoughts of canceling my order twice. I put in my reservation summer of 2020 and got my order in December of 2020. Was told spring then summer then fall then "sometime in 2022". But I'm glad I was patient and waited. Don't give up on it, you will be extremely happy once you finally get it.
@@BuckingBronco My only complaints are the back up camera is very low resolution but that's definitely not a deal breaker. And the stereo has literally no bass. All good I'm getting all new speakers and a little amp and sub to fix that problem. I have no issues with wind noise like a lot of people say. The mileage isn't the greatest but if I wanted good mileage I would have bought a Honda Civic or something lol. I recommend getting the license plate relocation bracket. Otherwise you'll have to drill holes and have the plate all up high and right on the grill basically. The bracket screws in super easily with 3 torx bit screws and it comes with the torx bit and screws for the plate.
@@mawage666 Oh, I'm good and very patient. I'm using this time to save up for my down payment, so the longer it takes, the more I'll have. I'm lucky because I don't need a car, but I've been wanting to get back into camping and it would make that possible again. I don't even have a car right now. I had a 2019 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack but sold it in September '21. I walk to work, and wasn't getting much use out of it. The 4x4 will definitely be put to use in the PNW, though! ;)
This is the review we've been waiting for
Great stuff fellas..that Bronco is a really impressive rig.. 💯
It's 5 am, I still haven't gone to bed and I am watching this video because I am obsessed with Broncos. Also found you guys channel and I am glad I did.
Love the videos....I would love to see a black diamond going off road
Love this video. Can’t wait to get my 2022 badlands.
I'd like to see how well vehicles would do in 2wd as you return back through the highline mud. Great content as always
That thing is an absolute beast. Maybe one day I can get myself one.
New drinking game...... "BRONCO" drink..... Nice vid and test. Ordered a Badlands nonsquatch can't wait to take to the mall...
I'm jealous, love trekking the boondocks!!!
Thanks!
Oh man you're just having so much fun..nice video as always
I’d love to see the Bronco Sasquatch package vs the new Wrangler Rubicon Xtreme Recon package
Oh but then I'd want to see how the Bronco Warthog package does vs the Wrangler Rubicon Xtreme Recon Outdoor Off-road Trail Buster package.
@@LTBudd fair is fair . Base vehicles no options is the best way to go about things
@@ellocalcrew613 it was a joke. While Ford uses simplified nomenclature, Jeep has taken to using names that are getting longer and longer. One day, the standard wheelbase of a four door Wrangler won't be big enough to fit the name badge.
@@LTBudd then there's a Dodge Ram 1500 classic warlock rebel knockoff
@@ellocalcrew613 power wagon or tremors?
Love how you did so many camera POVs in this video.
Nice test, thanks!
Love your channel I feel like you do true and honest reports keep up the good work
I appreciate that
Great review. Huge crash safety catch on the 35" tires.
We come to the channel to see Steve's dad!
Awesome testing and commentary!!!
Fantastic review guys. I couldn't agree more with your assessment. What a great off-road vehicle / Jeep Killer!
Yea yea blame the tire 🤣 love your chanel keep the good work 👍
Got my 2dr 2.7L Badlands dec 3rd. I love it, havent had anywhere to take it cos trails are all closing or turning to snowmobile trails now. (I'm also in ontario canada)
It's a masterpiece
Let's get something straight the 2021 Rubicon drive;s nice no wandering at all !!!
I agree I own a Gladiator Rubicon and a Gladiator willys neither wander.
I have a 2016 2 door Wrangler that drives great but I didn’t buy it or the last 7 Jeeps I’ve owned for the ride. I buy them because they’re the only vehicle on the market with the sfa short wheel base that isn’t completely packed with electronics or ifs suspensions that will limit it’s ability to be built without going bankrupt in the process. These will be popular no doubt just not the “Jeep killers” I see people claiming in the comments on these videos.
In light of the crash test information with 35's, you should go back and test the bronco with 33's and crash bars in place.
Absolutely a BEAST!
Ford did such a good job on the new Bronco.
Your a natural man! Thumbs up on the video.
Great stuff gentlemen 👍
These new breed of trucks and SUV’s are amazing.
I have a Badlands on order loaded minus the leather and not a sasquatch. I ordered the optional beadlocks. I couldn't justify the extra cost for 35" tires and wider flares. 2.7, Lux, soft top in Hot Pepper Red
Now that is how a Bronco should be reviewed... thanks!
I would like to see a review of this SUV on 33s. You can't get allot of the 4x4 options for some reason on 33s (from the ford build and price anyways) but I run 33s at home and that's enough for me plus getting decent fuel economy and ride for my day to day.
Supposedly it's a better ride than the 35s that's what most enthusiasts are saying
Nice to see you guys starting to get more views. 👍👍
I think it's really cool that Ford brought their products out to local events that people had to show off their products such as the bronco and raptor
PLEASE get a 2 door manual transmission and run the same tests...and tow with it!
Great review
Awesome Video!
Nice video. Been starting my search for a new Bronco. Which trim etc. Back and forth between Black Diamond and Badlands This puts Badlands another step closer. Great footage.
I was confused when he showed up at a tfl video. Glad your channel is doing well. Enjoy the content you’re pumping out. Especially the focus on trucks over cars.
Welcome aboard!
Amazing......I ordered the same truck but in the Manual with the four banger engine. Green too
I love this Bronco!!!!!
Would love to see a deep water test like fording a stream …..Nam Jamaica
Awesome videos and you guys are great. Did the Badlands have the headliner to quite the sound? Thanks
Hving a way to make hood face backward, just take off & put it fliped around so u give it more protection vs aero look easy change/mod bc it sloops down under limbs after they get pushed thru by backward facing hood. It will also aid in cooling slow crawling bc not sealing near as well.
