Other vehicles to consider, Toyota 4Runner and Jeep Wrangler, maybe the Ineos Grenadier if you're loaded

Those tires say 35 on them, not 37? 😊

This is what a Bronco owner should be. Someone who is enthusiastic and invested in utilizing the vehicle and experiencing the whole car. And actually using it for what it's for!

Being from the same generation as your father, I got a real kick out of his carefree demeanor. He couldn't give a crap about making a video that is broadcast to the entire nation .
Great bronco review .

I think the Bronco looks really cool and fun to drive, especially the Heritage editions... but the prices are just nuts.

Great video, I have a 2023 Badlands with the 2.7 V6 and hardtop and no problems at all. The first 9 months I have had it I have put 20k miles and lots of long distance drives and not a problem. I came from a Jeep and it was exhausting to drive over distances and when I first sat in the Bronco I noticed a positive difference immediately before even driving it.

Awesome update, as a Bronco owner I really appreciate your dad’s perspective. Please do a follow up.

[PortableHamSandwich]

For the wiper issue - Ford has a TSB for that where they have to do a firmware flash to resolve that issue. I had it done to my 22 Badlands at last service. Your dad’s spot on when he said the Bronco is something someone looks for when they want a Jeep, but don’t want to buy a Jeep.

I bought a 23 Big Bend about 8 months ago. Getting ready to cross the 10k mark. I have addressed the few complaints I had. Replaced all the factory speakers/ rear pods with Kicker CS series and SSV 6.5" pods in the rear. Also added a JL sub to replace the anemic factory junk. Replaced the 255 not all terrains for 285 Territory MT. Added a set of rock sliders/steps, and also bought the Ford Performance Procal4 tuner to give the 2.3 just a little more pep in its step. Overall, it's been a fantastic vehicle to own/drive. Many more mods are planned, so it will be constantly evolving into my own personal Bronco.

Your dad is cool as hell for buying the stick.

2024 Badlands Sasquatch with 2.7. Loving it. Only 6k miles and no issues. Y'all sound like us Harley riders, see what we can add/change to improve it and make it yours. Glad to find a group that thinks like Harley riders.

I couldn't afford a Bronco. But I made a great deal on a 2025 Explorer 4x4 Active. Stickered for $43899 and I paid $39k. That was out the door. I was very impressed by the 2.3 eco motor and ten speed! That really sold me on the car. Coming up on 1000 break in miles now. It has limbered up and runs even better. I'll do an early full service on it soon and call it good.

Farther and son review of Bronco, excellent !

[BryantBaudelaire]

I’m a Jeep owner and I’m going to add a Bronco to my collection in a couple of years once the market stabilizes! Will be fun to own both!

[Vermazing]

Honestly I have been on the fence about getting one I don't drive much but I feel like the bronco is the best bet due to my height and size. This video honestly told me all I needed to hear thank you for review after 50k miles I start looking for one i like.

[CalgaryGuy]

My 2022 has been awesome. 2dr with the 2.7 V6. Gobs of power and no issues. I leased mine since it was a new vehicle but I may keep it after the lease is up

[reciprocityYYC]

Love the father son angle, looking at Broncos now

[delMajor_]

3 years 35k miles on Badlands. Both headrest are broken, won't go up and or lock in the forward position. Soft top which is "glued" at attachment crossbar is now unglued. Doubled the noise and ford dealer told me "just super glue it or something ". Bought it used 3k miles so no warranty! Back door windows do not go all the way up, about an 1/8 inch and well, more wind noise. Blows fuses all the time, washer pump, etc. Lights on side view mirror broke at attachment clip. This after some non vigorous off roading. Then...windshield cracked while again some simple off roading. 63k piece of junk.

I went thru the same transition as I had a 07 fj cruiser, 2015 Toyota 4 runner and a 2022 Toyota trd sport 4 runner which I traded in on my 2022 ford big bend bronco!!👍👍👍👍👍 love the bronco, no regrets!

[kimberlydodder]

I absolutely love my 2021 Bronco Badlands with the sasquatch pkg. I dream of all of the fun things I can do to it as I save my pennies. You hardly see them on the freeway. I live in California, and being able to fold back my soft top and head down the coast to a 🍷 winery really gives you something to look forward to. I had a huge lifted suburban, and this Bronco opens my world to so much more.

[jrparker]

If this had a V8 and was $50k, everyone in America would have one of these! Great video.
