When my daughter was born she was in the hospital for 3 weeks and we were over 6hrs away from home. The Ronald McDonald house was there to help while we were able to take her home. Great organization.

I really do like the Bronco overall. That said vehicle prices are just becoming even more unreasonable for the average buyer.

besides for the top, it's held up really well. besides for the shock, it's held up really well. besides for the hvac, it's held up really well. lol.

$185 per hour for labor from the Ford dealer is insane...

When you've been waiting 2 years and hear "We''ve had our Bronco for 6 months" 😑😑😑

Good video! My concern with the suspension issue is that 99 out of 100 people would not have noticed that leak, leading to a much worse situation for the owners. Thanks for bringing this to light.

My buddy finally got his after waiting an absurd amount of time. 6 month after he ordered it they didn’t even have a vin # which meant it wasn’t even on the factory line yet. In total took almost 7 to 8 months but once the vin showed up in the system it was about a month. He ordered the same model but minus the sway disconnect as he wasn’t doing hardcore off reading and will be more into overlanding and camping. Thanks for always giving awesome real content 😉

Wow! 4k miles and no check engine codes? Must be quality. lol

I`m amazed when I watch these video`s and I hear all the problem`s people are having and the ridiculous price paid and they still speak highly about the Bronco. I can only imagine the list of repair`s at yearly intervals. I will stick with my 4Runner and I`m sure my 2020 will be as reliably as my `96 was. I drove that one for 19 year`s and 308k miles and sold it running fine on the original engine and transmission. calling the new Bronco a long term vehicle is hopeful wishing and likely an expensive journey.

It’s funny how you pop the hood and look at the mess of hoses and wires like it’s something cool to look at 😆

That vehicle is worth 45k max...70k that's absolutely ridiculous

"They had to remove this entire piece just to fix this little issue, and it ended up costing way more." This sounds familiar. Like a Tesla that "needed" to have its entire glass roof removed, which was subsequently broken.

Thanks for keeping us updated. I just received my 2D Bronco this week and am becoming familiar with it. The wind noise is higher than my 2018 JKU and I am looking into where it is coming from. I suspect the roof rack may be the culprit. I was surprised at the lack of information (that I could find) on exactly how the cameras work...it seems the camera views are dependent upon the G.O.A.T. mode I am in? Anyway, lots to learn.

You've proven that it's way cheaper to back a Bronco into a garage than backing a Tesla into the same garage.

I would personally wait for the 2nd-3rd year of production when purchasing a brand new vehicle.

Ty for the reviews, great work! I came across one of these yesterday and it is a kool looking thing at a glance but, just feels it's unfinished and rushed ... the spaghetti engine bay, all the exposed panels not covered or sealed up I mean 1 north east winter and this puppy will be needing gallons of rust-oleum or new bolts ... just can't justify the price for a kinda finished product ...

love the bronco. i always say, every time you go off-roading, expect something to break. from my CJ-5 to Toyotas... just they way it is, at least for me (AZ). imagine if a tesla had these problems, lol, people would be freaking out, esp at this price point. give the bronco another year or two and that will be the sweet spot to buy for those that can handle waiting. fabulous design.

I've had my 2-door BL for 5 weeks and love it. Just shy of 2200 miles and she is running great. Hopefully that continues for the next 10 years. Thanks for the update and answering the question of what happened to the Defender.

Thanks for an honest review. Always appreciate your reviews as you’ provide insightful comments.

I like to see a father and his son working together. It’s cool. Keep it up.

Great video. Not surprised to see some issues with a first-generation Ford. I would not touch one of these until it's been in wide, not rushed, product for several years.

The fact they've had it for 6 months and done some off-road testing and no major issues makes me even more excited to get mine.

I have a 2015 F150 super crew with the 2.7 ecoboost. 56,000+ miles without a hiccup and 24 mpg at interstate speeds. Best truck I've ever owned.

8:08 if you look at the backup bumper it has a sensor on it which is most likely why labor was more because when you disconnect backup sensors you have to reprogram them.

Still would love to see an on and off road comparison with the FJCRUISER. As an fjcruiser owner thinking about eventually getting a bronco it would be interesting to see what conclusions are made.

It's a BEAST point blank. Thank You for another great video once again gentlemen. Have a Blessed day everyone

The AC issue you mention at 6:10 happens to me exactly as you described in a 2019 Ford Expedition MAX Platinum. It is also intermittent and I haven't had a chance to get it checked.

Love how the Son says it's been Perfect! Except a whole new Roof, a shock going bad and the AC/ heater coming on full blast and can't do anything about it. It's only been 4k miles. That's far from perfect and 2 major issues.. love the OG guys but the Son in every video is so biased on certain trucks and subs. The Raptor and Bronco. But love the channel and everything else. Keep it up

The company I work for in Canada just gave one of these away to an employee for being a good driver,our trucks are GPSed and every week over the course of a year if you don’t speed,your name gets a ballot put into the draw. Pretty cool incentive for the thousands of employees 😎

I just bought my daughter a two door badlands it’s black and it drives like a dream. She’s waiting for winter, it will be a first for her bronco. She loves that the truck sits up high and you have vision all around the cab. It floats on the road and steers very nice. Nothing but good things to say about the 2022 bronco.

The “hoop” is called a Nudge Bar. And so just like the Defender (which many complain about) and other modern 4WDs, you damage one little bit of plastic and it’s a pain and costly to fix. And you will damage plastic bits off-roading.

Great reviews! Always look forward to your opinions…..

Love my new bronco but hate the door windows and how slow they are when you open the door. BMW,, Porsche have been doing this for decades and they are much better. Mine is a 2 door. Love your reviews guys!!!

The fact that the windows have to drop down like that for the doors to open makes it almost useless where I live (Alberta Canada) I have a PT cruiser convertible that has that feature and it is such a pain to get into when the windows are frozen shut.

That Bestop top is better than the factory soft top. However, Our August 16th Badlands Built soft top makes more noise and has more window wave than our High Package Outerbanks Nov. 23rd build. Great Video. Thank you very much.

For a first year vehicle with all new architecture and mostly new technology, I'm impressed with its relative lack of faults and failures. The tech and performance that you and others have demonstrated are also impressive. Too bad the pricing jacked out of all sense of reality by global events and economics make it unobtainium for many/most who might otherwise buy it.

My 2017 ford explorer xlt sport appearance package ac and heat goes up and down but it's based on if you get a phone call or not. You might just need a reprogramming on the hvac

Good job on the review….has me psyched…just hope my converted ‘22 Bronco order actually gets built this year!🤞

Glade to hear its Blazed Approved. Fantastic intel and review. Hit like and ofcourse that bell notification.

Thanks for mentioning your mpg. But with only a 20.8 gallon tank can you also report your range as you drive in different conditions please? Overlanding is about covering ground and my math says the Bronco won’t cover much ground between fill ups. Sounds like the gas tank size is the weak link for the off road community. Wish they offered the 3.0l diesel.

Love the Bronco. It's a favorite! Looks great, offroads great, almost unstoppable... and like Tommy said for a 5,000 lb truck... and lots of off roading 18mpg isn't bad!

That fan going crazy bit with the A/C sounds like it is trying to keep itself from icing by pulling a bunch of volume to warm up and dry off the evaporator. Good thing to have...

Picking up my Bronco Base on Monday! Can’t wait!!

Ford made a great off-roader, very cool looking also, not crazy about the way the convertible top looks.

Love the way they described their so far 6 month experience with this thing. 69k all good, 500 dollars to replace a plastic bumper part at 185 dollars an hour,all good, 700 dollars for a front shock and wheel alignment, all good. And 18 miles to a gallon, awesome! These guys are clearly bought and paid for.

The issue you mentioned with the AC or heater suddenly going full blast happens in my 2019 Expedition too. I have not taken the time to get it looked at.

Nice father son video again. Really not at all a ford fan but most people that have the new bronco are pretty happy. Much of it got tested on the French military vehicles over the last couple years according to the ford french military video that was out a year or so ago.

“A part from all the problems, it has held up extremely well.” 😂

Thanks. I really wanted to consider a new Bronco to replace my aged Scout II. But, you guys have talked me out of it! It's obviously going to be a money pit.

Owned a 2006 Rubicon Unlimited for 4yrs from new. I saw 18mpg one time, Dallas to Houston with a strong tail wind. My mixed driving was usually 13-14mpg. My 2006 LX470 100-series, best highway 15mpg, city 8-10mpg. Mixed is about 12. I need a base Ford Maverick hybrid for daily trips. 🙃

Can’t wait to have the opportunity to buy one. Thanks guys

Generally, I like the Bronco. The tech features are fantastic for off-roading. Comfortable highway driving is commendable. Only detractor, which is significant for my kind of off the beaten path exploring, is the bulky overall size. I would either have to change where I go 4x4 exploring or cough up a lot of bucks repairing body damages. So, I prefer my nimble stock 2020 2-door Wrangler Rubicon over a stock 2-door Bronco Sasquatch.

Sorry guys, but sounds like the Ford dealer hosed you on that rear bumper fix...lol

I love mine so far as well. Badlands with Sasquatch here. The aftermarket is going to explode even more than it already has in the next year.

Thanks for the honest review. Love the channel. What octane fuel have you guys been running?

TFL should drive their Bronco during winter time from Alaska to NY or anywhere in the East coast. After the trip is completed they should do a " what's working and what's not". My 2008 FJ Cruiser did it with 178000 miles and made it in one piece.

Didn’t the parking sensor warn you before hitting the bumper?

I have had a similar fan issue on my Ford Fusion. After using max defrost, the fan speed won’t reduce with manual controls. Then I go to the touch screen control, turn off HVAC, and all functions work normally.

Enjoyed this six month update. Its a pity these have become so expensive, as they are really impressive.

Wow - definitely need a solid steel after market bumper with removable end caps

Test a 2 door manual Sasquatch when you can. Also, show us how to use a winch properly.

Love the mini in the garage! Looks ace and would be great on a trailer, behind this bronco!

Love the bronco keep making more videos with it

Big tough off road Bronco put together out of alignment, bad shocks, cheap plastic clips, a noisy roof, and an HVAC system that thinks it's a convection oven. Other than that, it's great!

This thing has been flawless…except these 6 things in 4,000 miles.

Great video!

I have a 87 Bronco XLT with 351 W factory 4 barrel 3 speed automatic. It's all stock except the 33" tires then I got a 90 Bronco 2 and a 21 Bronco Sport Big Bend.

I'm glad you posted a video. I was trying my best to find the day 1 video to see how much the Launch Edition cost because a local POS dealer near me tried telling me that the LE Bronco with the same exact options had a MSRP of 104,000 and used with only 2,000 miles it was actually worth 114,000. Needless to say I found a new strategy they're using...buy out all the new allotments of Broncos and Mavericks so that they can sell them as used at a higher market price. I told the manager to eat shit when he tried talking down to me last weekend saying that "maybe I shouldn't be looking at a vehicle I can't afford". I can afford a Bronco and that's what I wanted. I had a paid off 2014 F150 FX4 with book of a little over 11,000, about 6K to put down and a really long term job. Now, I have no interest in buying new and fully intend just to wait for a year or two for the market to cool so I can just buy from a private seller and pay in cash.

What an awesome rig ! Someday I’ll get one

I have that same issue with the A/C, it goes full blast with no reason, however, I discovered if you hit the recirculating bottom it will go to normal. That problem comes when you are below 60 degrees outside.

Awesome! I’m there painter at this Phillong store! I ordered my Bronco a few months ago. I got the same color but the 2 door!

It's a real pity ford withdrew from the Japanese market, and coming with the coolest off roader right after

Personally i really like the bronco, it has great styling. It would be interesting if they made a bronco model with a non-removable hard top, with a v8 engine.

fan issue sounds like speed resistor having a fit, seen similar on our escape when it goes bad

Your off road scenes looks like the Rubicon Trail which I've driven several times back in the 70's-80's in my 1975 Toyota Land Cruiser J model.

I had hvac issues in a 2015 mustang GT. I see ford hasn’t fixed their blower motor resistors.

Whenever Roman says something “but “ comes out of Tommy’s mouth. I sense little competition coming from Tommy. Maybe it’s the father and son relationship that brings this up. Love the channel though.

I just love my bronco, perfect off and on road

Solid review.

$70k, blown shocks, bad hardtop, random HVAC issues, rusting components, 17mpg. But it's such an awesome truck....what???!!!!

Looking forward to hear how the windows do when they are frozen. Will it inhibit the opening of the doors if the window can't drop? Still torn between the Bronco and the Wrangler. Big money for these off roaders.

Cool truck and I love those tyres!

I broke your bronco on miller rock! Sorry about that lol!! Still extremely impressed with that thing and can't wait to get mine. no order updates here yet, still pending.

$63K and comes complete with a faulty top, buggy HVAC system, and over-charging dealer. Sounds like Ford is the new Jaguar.

Definitely a cool off-roader, no doubt. But I’ll take my 4Runner or my wife’s GX any day over the Bronco or any SUV for that matter- well except for maybe for a Land Cruiser.

Very good, love seeing these long term update videos! The Bronco really does look cool. Props to Ford for being so good at incorporating their heritage into the design.

Repair cost of the rear bumper plastic part is ridiculous. Ford needs to redesign the rear bumper components for a fast bolt on and off of the plastic parts.

man for a brand new Truck like that .. for 70K --- 50K that's not cheap !! .. but leaking shock and out of control A/C and climate control speed .. that is pretty concerning issues. how its going to hold up in the next 8 years ?! I'm long term buyer / ownership.. this is very important stuff .. $750 for one shock replacement .. I'm grateful for sharing your experience. I really like that specific Branco Trim and the New Jeep Wrangler I think the rugged solid style of the Jeep Rubicon is my favorite .. my problem is you pay a lot of money for a Vehicle had questionable Relibitly !!!

The Bronco has been used more off-road than many would have taken a first edition out and it is performing well! I own a Badlands 4 door without the Sasquatch package and it performs very well when compared to the Wrangler Rubicon Diesel I had. The articulation is definitely not as good, but once off the trails, the Bronco is leap years ahead of the Wrangler for a daily driver. I’m not saying you can’t daily drive the Wrangler, the Bronco is just so much nicer! The parts costs are definitely in line with any other vehicles. The 2 hours of labour for the rear bumper is the “system” you are held to when getting work done at the dealerships!! Even if they were done in an hour, they charge 2 hours because that’s what the book says!! It’s a rip off. I agree with Tommy. It would have been a very reasonable DIY to replace the piece. The cost to the manufacturer for the shock replacement was quite fair. It’s a while strut assembly and the alignment after should definitely be done. As mentioned, you felt the vehicle was out of alignment at the time anyways. One of the hazards of playing off-road harder than most, the vehicles need more mainstays they wear quicker. Just a fact, but be prepared for that. My Bronco has been similar to the TFL one in that they replaced both front struts under warranty. Probably a bad set of seals when the shock manufacturer was producing the parts. It happens, isn’t exactly Ford’s fault, but reflects on the vehicle nonetheless. I have the hard top and have not really had any noise issues, but am getting my hardtop 2.0 sometime here. I’m in no hurry as I’m not having issues. I have not had the HVAC issue that TFL is having. I have not had any other issues. As much as I took the Bronco off-road and to its limits (the skid plates can attest to that!! Hahaha) I didn’t exactly buy it for that, it’s mostly a mall crawler and I really just like the looks of the vehicle. I really wish I had gotten the 2 door though. They look SOOO much better than the 4 door models in my opinion. I may switch to a 2 door Sasquatch package model in the future if my buddy gets one in that the original order is rejected by the prospective buyer. It won’t be too much of a cost difference. In fact I may spend a little less and almost get my money back on the Bronco anyways!! Many of the 2ndoor Sasquatch models are ordered ina trim much lower than the Badlands trim. Something Jeep could learn about!! Give people the option to even have a rear locker (!!!) and you may sell more product overall vs holding them hostage to the Rubicon models for lockers!! Even now the Xtreme Recon package is only available on the 4 door Willys or Rubicon and only with the wheezy 3.6. Offer that in ANY level and with the diesel,,,,,,. That would be a nice package! I had the diesel Rubicon and loved that powertrain!! It was a bit expensive, but performed well. Why don’t I have the Rubicon anymore??? I’m fortunate and fickle. I change my vehicles a lot!! There’s no other reason. The Wrangler 4 door Rubicon Diesel was one of my favourite vehicles I have ever owned!! ( I had to say this because the last time I hacked on Jeep’s marketing, I was verbally attacked by some butt-hurt Jeep fan that didn’t know much,,,,,. Truly!) I mean it that it was a great vehicle though. I still like my Bronco better though. Daily driving, loading up with my wife, the dog and a bunch of gear for a week at the cabin and it is much nicer than the Wrangler for all of that. Thanks TFL for continuing to try out the newest and the greatest!!! This year’s lineup of vehicles is very impressive so far!!! Well done!! *** Now,,,, helping out the Ronald MacDonald house is excellent!! Switching right from the comment Roman made to a big picture of “Your balls will love you.” ,,,,,,,,,,, *** While hilarious!!!! I laughed quite hard,,,,,,, it may not be the representation(association ??) Ronald MacDonald House wants??? Hahaha. Still too funny!! Nice job representing the experience to date with the Bronco!!

Having taken apart a rear JL bumper I can tell you its very manually intensive. Lots of little parts and fasteners. Looking at that Branco it seems very similar in construction. I don't doubt Ford's costs in labor.

Great charity to give some support an recognition too. In 1990 I had just turned 6 years old, and needed to have heart surgery. I don't know all the specifics as I was a child at the time. But My family and I stayed at the Ronald McDonald house in Orange County California, in the days leading up to my surgery and hospital stay. It helped take a lot of stress out of a very difficult situation. It was also a nice change to converse with other children my age, who were also going through difficult medical problems, many far worse than my own. I can't speak enough good things about the staff and people I interfaced leading up to my surgery at that location.

700$ for a shock and alignment!?

LIKE FATHER, LIKE SON. IT MUST BE IN THE GENES HITTING DOOR JAMBS WITH VEHICLES

Love the Bronco videos. Didn't Tommy back the Tesla to the garage? Runs in the family...🤣🤣

Can wait to get mine!!

Love how he glazes over the HVAC problem---which is a big deal, and try to impress me with engine specs. Also replacing that bumper piece ISNT as simple as Johnny thinks. Those sensors have to come out and may need recalibration.

I bet I would love owning a Bronco, but would not pay any serious amount over MSRP. Maybe in a couple years the real prices will come back to earth. The 2.3 liter with 7 speed manual would be my ideal.

Beautiful bronce. The MPG is Awesome, considering the weight, I got the same engine on my F150, It gets 21, Zero Issues , Got 120K miles, about 20K off road miles, Yes its hard to get new from the stealership

Some of the Lexus will crack the windows when you open the vehicle to get in. Not an issue, it'll take the Canadian winters. Ice may keep the windows from going down temporarily, but not enough to matter.
