As a jeep guy, watching you wheel that thing, I hate how capable it is lol and you did a great job building it out. Nice video!

Hey man, just want to genuinely tell you that YOU'RE the guy I take the most seriously on these Bronco reviews. Real, genuine opinions, you touch base on things real people are going to care about and you actually use your Bronco and you're not posing as somebody who beats the piss out of their vehicle for bragging rights on being a real "off roader". You're using your Bronco more than 98% of people who buy one ever will, and I value your videos and opinions because of it. Thank you for your content. Whenever I see that you have made a new video about your Bronco, my day gets better. It's really made me calmer and more confident in my decision to get one. I'm almost ready to trade in my 2016 Tundra SR5 for a Badlands. Just holding out to see if the 2024 model has maybe a colour I'd like any better or maybe any minor updates that I would regret not waiting for if I made a purchase on a 2023. So far I'd get the same colour as you. Carbonized Grey right?

Just hit the one year mark of ownership. Still loving the Bronco. Previously owned a Toyota FJ Cruiser.

As a Bronco owner for the past year I can say I love my Bronco. We live in Maine and travel quite a bit into New Brunswick and Quebec. Anything I've asked it to do has never been an issue, my confidence in my vehicle is nothing like I've had before in a 4x4. I have had jeeps, an FJ40 that I drove to Alaska, Tacomas, F-150's but this is a super capable truck. keep up the good work and I am subscribing!

Glad you still love it. I love mine! I just did a 35 day road trip, 5,000 miles. From Florida to Maine. Then drove to the eastern most point in the country. 4 days overlanding in the North Maine woods, most remote area east of the Mississippi. Then back to Florida a different route. I totally agree with how comfortable it is and how well it drives. I think you would like a phone mount. I did a 3 state road trip last year without one to see if I could get away with out having one. After that I realized I wanted one for the second screen and to always have my phone in the same place instead of randomly setting it places. Also could run the nav on the phone if your Bronco screen was being used as the front camera. I’d use GAIA on my phone and then have the standard nav on the Bronco screen. Id definitely get one.

THANKS FOR THE UPDATE AND REVIEW OF THE BRONCO !

just found your channel - new subs here! loving it. beautiful landscape and fantastic drone shots. keep it goin, man!

I'm liking the bronco more and more. I was initially opposed due to my previous Eco Boost experience with my former F150. That said, the Bronco drivetrain is completely different and it really seems as if they have worked out many of the early kinks. I think I still have a couple good years left in my Tacoma, but I may end up going the same route as you eventually. Thanks for the update, glad it's working out well for you!

Love these videos. The intro on this video is one of the best ever and I am an old KZfaq junky! I have a First Edition with 14k on it and no issues. Every once in a while I will have weird glitch in the electronics with 4x4 but other than that it is flawless. I actually bought the iKamper and the TrailRax system because of your videos.

I'm so happy you're happy with it! I've had the same Carplay issue. I haven't had enough time off road, but as it's a Badlands I don't really expect there to be issues. I love how it drives, but the soft-top road noise from the Sasquatch package affects my pleasure in driving somewhat. Still love it, and will be getting a hardtop version ASAP.

Oh and i showed my wife the video of yoyr wife driving your Bronco, which made her more confident to offroad ours. She did great and looks forward to learning much more. Thanks very much!

Love this! And the foreshadowing on the mammoth! Great video!

76k miles, 0 significant issues

Awesome video… I just got my 2023 base Sasquatch 4 door also in carbonized grey back in may & I absolutely love it! But I am a die hard ford guy… mine has everything I need & less things that can go wrong as far as electrical.. I got the 8 inch screen… toggle switches up above.. 2.7 grey/black clothe seats… hard top. No electric seats no dual climate control no heated seats etc. but still seems like it came with a lot for the $ my main things were the Sasquatch package big tires lift lockers all under warranty & the bigger motor… plan on doing the same thing your doing with yours… these broncos are amazing & I just had to have one goes good with my 2019 mustang GT PP1! 👍🏼again thanks for the video… oh and the carbonized grey you just can’t go wrong with grey!!!

Man I’ve had my Bronco for 6 months and I love it man absolutely an amazing vehicle. Btw love the videos man keep them coming. Blessings 🙏🏻

I heard you say the ride and drive you really enjoy I got rid of a 23 Silverado Highcountry had several of them. My legs and back hurts so bad driving it that was the first thing I noticed to our trip to visit my in-laws with my girlfriend and my back and legs didn’t hurt. I really enjoyed driving mine so it’s nice to see that other people enjoy driving there as well and have no pain going for a nice spin, I’ve always been Chevrolet owner first Ford ever bought. I really enjoy and love it. Thanks for your video.

Thank you David for your video. Keep up the great work.😎👍

Epic intro and good discussion. Still on the fence if I'm going to keep mine. It was great meeting you at the PNW Expo!

Nicely done. I own a 4Runner TRD Pro and I hope Toyota makes the next Gen 4Runner with better clearances for off road. I also like the removable top and doors that the Bronco has. Great review and well paced as well. Cheers 🍻

I appreciate the comments about not needing the front locker. I keep going back and forth between a Black Diamond and Badlands. I would rather save $10k on purchase and spend it on my own upgrades. Eibach Coilover, wheels, tires and stereo etc. Love that you were crushing an old fashioned!

Just got my Badlands Sasquatch a month ago and I love the way it drives and feels. I was worried about the sound system after reading the reviews but I’m quite happy with it.

Wicked intro! I've had mine for a year and a half and no issues..... Except stuff I broke haha. I hate the stock sound system. Still working on that. I have a trailrax on the way, can't wait for that.

Lucky you got a good build, Owhyees killed mine with less than 10k. Also you don't need to restart the vehicle to fix the infotainment, hold the power + right seek button for 10secs.

I can’t wait to get one of my own!!

Great elaboration on very important topics. I have a Badlands for many of these reasons, and wish it was a hard too Lux, which is on order

Great video, I just got my Bronco Wildtrak last May. I had a Badlands ordered for over 9 months in the same config as yours, then the dealer called me and said this Wildtrak came in and I when in and…. Decided to buy it! It has been amazing I added LOD trans skid and transfer skid leveled it and a few more things. Oh and I still have the Badlands on order will see if I want to keep it or not!

21 BD SQ here. 50k and no issues. Still love it. For over 20 years I’ve leased two vehicles every two years, so I’ve driven a lot of stuff. I bought this bronco planning to keep it a long time. So far, I do not regret that decision.

Hard not to like a Bronco. Great rigs.

You can hold the power button and the right fast forward button to reset the radio without turning the car off. Works on my raptor , might be the same in the bronco.

Love the laid back, kick back setting to discuss your Bronco marriage. :) I don't have SAS or 360 cameras but the stock 2022 2dr Badlands, hard top of course. I've owned mine for almost 11 months and just went over 28K miles - no issues (Thumbs Up). I've put the Trailrax on it, iKamper 3.0 mini (just bought their inflatable dual filler mattress - THUMBS UP! Today ROAM just listed their 95L as 'In Stock' so I pulled the trigger on that - going to be a game-changer for storage. I have the Baja Designs 3 light set up in the front bumper - connected to Aux 5 (quad) and Aux 4 (2 duals), and just installed their dual light w/amber filter on the spare tire bracket as a 'Chase Light' - connected to Aux 3. Do you have any additional exterior lighting? Do you have any thoughts or plans for an awning or an Annex/+ for the tent? I picked up the zipper adapter so I can order their older Annex, not the Annex+ (savings of around $200). Great job on your video editing, I look forward to your content.

22’+ a lot of issues went away, ford really listened after the launch year and put in the work. The 2.7 eco boost is dual injected, which really helps long term reliability. As for your car play issue, ford has had that problem for since the original sync 1. I see these broncos especially 23+ being one of fords more reliable vehicles. Awesome videos as well.

I came from driving an F150 with the 3.5L Ecoboost and sometimes I miss the power. I loved my truck and drove it hard for about 5 years until I sold it to get the Bronco. However, having the 2.3L 4 banger is no joke and it has taken me places I would never imagined. I am still in that honeymoon phases and loving every minute of it. The issue with the Apple Play seems to be a common one since I have the same thing happen to me every other week. It's really annoying but like you said a quick restart fixes it.

100% Great Experience with my 2022 Bronco. One trip to the Dealer for a loose wire in the charging monitor system..

The not connecting thing is the Ford Sync, I had it happen in my F150 Raptor alot. The f150 was very comfortable but I had to stop alot because it puts you to sleep. I had nitto Terra grapplers on it and they smoothed it out so much that you fall asleep. My Bronco has issues, the sound doesn't get loud enough and the road noise can get to some people. My Outer Banks with sasquatch, high, lux and all packages except the upfitter switches. I looked at the Raptor but seriously it was 20hp and bad shocks for another 50k. I bought a take off hood, grill and fenders from a wrecked Raptor for my eruption green and it looks nice. I went with a loaded outer banks because I wanted carpet and leather. The wild track is what I intended on buying but the seats being electric, the carpet and leather were much nicer. It seems to me that the Outer Banks is actually the top package and destroys the defender that LR let me take home for a weekend. It also was nicer than the trd Pro 4runner and the Tahoe which both felt very dated. Add the industry support, it was a no-brainer. I tried a jeep Rubicon and a gladiator but both were not nearly as refined as the Bronco. The Bronco does need another 60hp in my opinion. The lockers are good, I have tried every mode but snow/slush. I plan on using that mode this month. I haven't been able to get it stuck yet. I agree about the lockers, my Raptor had ARB Air lockers, aftermarket and they took a bit to lock.

make sure your Ford Sync software is updated to the latest version. I have had intermittent connectivity issues like you, got an update, solved my problem.

Love my bronco. Same color and badlands. Is your sound system the premium B&O (Lux package) or the standard sound system?

You know, I followed you because you had the Tacoma (I own one) and I have always loved your videos. I have even more respect for you that you chose not to put your dogs in the back of that Tacoma. No dog should ever be placed back there. You have excellent information. Thank you

I have a wrangler 4xe and love it, but I'm envious of the driving comfort these Bronco's seem to have. The wrangler isn't as bad as it's made out to be, but it's not great either, especially on 2+ hour trips. Once Ford makes some form of 4xe competitive model, I'll definitely consider one. Thanks for the vid!

What do you think of a hard top non Sas BD? I’m honestly not thinking I’ll be super technical rock crawling trying to hit lines and such, I just want a capable rig to go out and camp in nature

Absolutely correct. The pistons in my 2021 Bronco (Badlands sasquatch) disintegrated. Ford tried to shift blame on me. I never off-roaded the truck and took real good care of it. But when NTSB intervened , all of a sudden Ford changed its tune. After they fixed my truck, I turned around and sold it. Maybe when Ford fixed all of the problems, I'll reconsider buying another one down the road. I know a lot of people who got rid off their Bronco and feel the same way I do.

Need a walk around video on your build and overland set up

I have watched a good 20-30 bronco reviews and your review seems the most genuine and honest. I’ve been so torn between getting a bronco, 4Runner , tundra or wrangler Willy’s. I am about 90% on the bronco. I feel the 2023 models have the least reports of problems

Good perspective. You might want a mounting system for future and gear that there’s already a way to mount it without dash drilling.

Bought my Wildtrax Sasquatch Lux Pkg HD Modular Bumper, and a few other BS options 2 days ago (day of strike). I didn't actually need all the Lux Pkg offered so I've been sitting in the garage for 2 days figuring this thing out. 🤣 I actually like the Bang Olufson sound system, you just have to put in surround and balance it the way you like it. Now that it's cooling down I'm about to tear this thing up. I might even paint a stripe on it, who knows.

I just bought my Bronco, it is used, 1 year old, Wildtrak 4 door! I cannot wait to go off road, we already took our vacation last month in our mustangs, got home and sold one, bought two Bronco's! Hubby got a 1 year old 2 door Wildtrak! He got his about a week and a half before me, so we were able to take his to the woods on July 4th and play! We had so much fun! We had jeeps years ago, but got into mustangs about 7 years ago and we are getting tired of pavement, ready to go back to the woods and nature. Is that the Trailrax system on your roof? We want that one or the one from Bad Ass tents, we cant decide which one to get. I also sold my Subaru Outback Wilderness, I kept my Thule bars and basket, but it looks like I may not be able to use them, these rack systems are so different. Thanks for the video! Makes me feel so much better about our choices!

Man i loved this video! Ive been following your build and adventures and was pretty jealous when you did the Whipsaw with Shaun. I actually own land not far from there. Ive owned my Wildtrak for 2 months now and have driven 5000kms (3200 miles) and took it to Alberta to explore the National parks. I jnow what you mean by forming a connection. I cant wait for the future adventures and maybe visit the beautiful PNW for a trip with you some day. Cheers 🤟😎

Hello - I was thinking about buying a mammoth trailer like the one you had and was wondering why you sold yours? We're you having problems with it?

Awesome video! New sub here! Today I sat in a Bronco that the sales lady owned. I just wanted to see if I fit (6'2"). The sales lady order hers with a soft-top. She said she would add a hardtop later because ordering a hardtop now will delay the order to be filled.

Hi there. Admiring your watch what type are you wearing? Also great content thanks. About to rent a Bronco when I visit from Australia

if your Carplay only fails to connect once a week consider yourself lucky lol mine works properly about 60% of the time, but I have learned if you connect your phone to the charger within 2 minutes of turning on the vehicle it screws up the connectivity 100% of the time. so, turn it on and wait for it to connect (which take a while sometimes in my Nissan it was connected within 2 seconds of turning on the truck) then plug in the phone to charge.

You leave everything attached to the Bronco at all times? Tent, gear etc?

Have a video around your current build out!!!

Where'd you get the protective pieces on the bottom on the doors? Ate they from ford? Rig looks great.

Great video. Seems like a down to earth person.

When the CarPlay fails to connect, press and hold the radio power button and the right arrow button together for 10 seconds for a hard reset without turning off the truck.

I have a 23 bronco and my infotainment does the same thing but I also had it were the backup camera was on will driving or a black screen doesn’t happen often but it frustrates me

It’s good you tried a new platform. I have considered a new Defender or a new Bronco and the cost disparity is severe (unless you go for a Bronco Raptor) and I start to sway towards the Bronco. The retro styling is the controversy for me. I like the retro looks but the style is a miss for me. Also it may be more comfortable but NVH is the other part of driver fatigue. Would I get one? I’m still very interested in one. Thanks for actually doing a realistic overland build and showcasing its capabilities in your videos. And great meeting you at OE PNW, hope to go trailing with you sometime.

Just add some infinity reference mid ranges. Good price and fantasticly clear and clean. And most of them are a 3 ohm or 2 ohm which helps get all the power out of a stock system

that’s where i’m at with my tacoma. i have a quicksand trd off road and i love the looks, capability, the mod market for it, and reliability; BUT, my back hurts so much after a good drive around town. and i’m a small 5’2” guy like. it’s rough.

If you hold the audio power button and the next button down for a few seconds it will reset Carplay.

Ive had the same issue with Android auto glitching

I owned a Bronco 11, had it for many years in Jamaica, on all types of road surfaces, goat tracks, and bush, and really would like to get one of these

So I have a 22 bronco Base with the Sasquatch package and I can tell you it's one of the most favorite vehicles I've ever owned. Don't get me wrong I still love my 19 F-150 and I'll never get rid of it but the power delivery between the 2.7 in the bronco and the 2.7 in my F-150 is a night-and-day difference.

Hello. What model of Bronco should I buy? I would like to be able to take it to the mountains occasionally, but also I will be using it for work. I am thinking the badlands with sasquatch package, 4 door with a hard top.

Started off strong with the chapters...

I saw your mini 2.0 for sale! It would be a killer to have it! Let me know 🥳🤘🏼

Came from a 23 Tacoma trail to a 24 Bronco badlands... Bronco all day!

In terms of having a safe spot for your dog in a truck bed, what was the reason for not opting for a camper shell on the Tacoma? Is a camper shell not well suited for off-road?

2020 TRD PRO fan boy here. Im here for the man not the vehicle.

Go watch lite bright Nation there's a awesome upgrade they just did to there Bronco Raptor you might be interested in before you have the issues they had off roading.

The window rattle anytime it's not fully up or down is ridiculous, and no rain gutter while it's storming drives me insane if it's a drive thru or anything. Mine was awesome this last winter, tho and is extremely capable offroad. I just wish those annoyances were fixed because they are big to me after almost 40k miles. 😅

Fix for the carplay, if you have more than one phone or device connected to carplay, the issue you described will happen. Try only have your phone connected.

awesome video! is your bronco grey or blue?

You love it.

Your getting a Gladiator, I knew it!

I’m guessing yes 😁

I’m at almost 2 years and 30,000 miles into a 4D Badlands with a soft top and Sasquatch. If I had to buy “today” I’m not sure what I’d do. Since Ford can’t turn around a custom order in a reasonable timeframe I’d probably end up in a Rubicon.

Odd question. What watch are you wearing

I am at 9months and love my Bronco Badlands. Everyone asks me this question… How does it drive and I totally agree off and on road it’s super comfortable for long drives. Love the videos and keep on exploring.

Love the aggressive wide stance n big tires. But I would never spend 70k on a truck that has so much reliability issues.

I'd love to get one but paying over 1k a month for a vehicle is not appealing to me. But it's nice to be able to afford it like you and many can.

Yes. The 4wd engagement in the Tacoma is down right shameful as is the camera's.

My only problem with this type of vehicle is the price. Yes you can get cheaper trim levels but the fact that even the higher trim levels are 60 k plus is crazy to me. I have an outer banks Sasquatch on order that has a build date in less then a month. I test drove a wildtrak and thought it was cool but I though it wasn’t 65k cool because everything is just basic to me. My build comes right at 60K and I’m 25 and make decent money but I just picked up a second job just so I can save another 10-15 grand in the next 6 month just so I can put a decent down payment on it and still feel comfortable. I’m still not 100% sold that I’m going to get it just because of the payment I will have, even with 20% down I’m looking at over $800 just for the payment depending on the interest rate. If the higher end Broncos were about 20K less then it’s a no brainer I think 40K for that type of car is reasonable. That goes for jeeps, Tacoma’s, ETC. The price for cars nowadays is insane and it sucks for me in my 20s who would love to have a nice car but had to pay the price for it.

What's that watch on your wrist?

"Grab a drink, and let's get started." It's 5am, David. You're trying to be a bad influence.

Best looking SUV ever....except for the originals.

the real question is, what watch are you wearing

I believe this video should be after 5 yrs of owning a new vehicle

Dogs in back of truck not good, good on you👍

Can't wait for the new Toyota Land Cruiser

Did I hear a gunshots starting at 12:45? "One thing I do regret..." Not getting a Jeep Wrangler? :D

No way I can watch this straight

Ouch. Recall city

Jeep Wrangler should Sue Ford bronco for pretending to be them.

Hundreds of hours in a gutless wonder. So sad they put a V6 in that thing.

Well you only have 66 months of $500 payments to go.

Ford ....that is all

Only six month dude you will spend more time to dealer than you enjoy your rigs. Tacoma is better 100 times than your Ford ( Failure off road daily ).

Is it wrong to watch something because the guy is a total hottie? Asking for a friend….

Just did over 4500 miles on a road trip through Colorado Utah Wyoming South Dakota 13 states total no issues 30k in one year as of today😂 I’m like you my sound system is fine but I didn’t buy it for the system 😂😂
