I was gonna say that 🤣 bro who cares about wind noise don't sweat profusely

I think the issue with the score is that in some instances, things like weekend fun and a few others, probably didn't make much sense since that's not the intended reason for a specific car's existence.

Yeah but I wish he did it in strict reference to a category, like acceleration, styling, pricing and so on should be scored relative to the class of car they belong to.

Yeah...that is true but I think he could just have different scoring tables for different vehicle types, and then walk through each category like before. I suspect another reason he stopped was to save time per video. But I agree it would be nice to have it back

@@frogturtle Pretty much every single video of his is 20+ minutes. He definitely didn't do it to save time.

@@parkerhill9725 Yeah, I think if you do it relative to that car's specific category, that could possibly work. It's funny to score a base Kia Optima as low because it doesn't have the same 'fun appeal' as a Kia Stinger, when both cars are designed for specific purposes.

Yet his opinions on the hood extractor and the exhausts are terrible

I think he’s the one w the QUIRKS!

I’m happy to see someone get so excited about cars and trucks but honestly sometimes his “energy” is distracting and gives me anxiety lol

Meanwhile my country's regulations used to require lorries/light trucks to have an orange light on the roof that blinked when they were travelling close to or above their then speed limit of 60km/h (37mph)

Haha, yep, plenty more room for a dealer markup!

half million dollar markup lol

@Tommy Le good luck marking up things in this market. They’ll just sit on lots. Recession buyers aren’t going to be as plentiful

let the rich kids fight over them like the first edt

That is why direct sales need to be legalized nation wide.

Funny you should say that. From my experience, ford is the company which always fails to deliver what the customers want. Last I checked, they were leaving the markets of Europe, Japan, and South Africa because of poor sales.

​@@ayush885 people here don't have taste...and seeing ur comment, yours is actually poorer

Ford is going bankrupt, and I don't think the Government should bail them out. let them go out of business. FORD'S ARE GARBAGE!!!!!!!

@@ayush885 In my country I'd say that American brands are seen as neither as luxurious as German ones (except Opel) nor as economical as Japan or Korean ones (other European brands are less common here too, with Volvo & JLR being an exception more recently)

Yeah it really is awesome, the kind of cars being released. But (at least in America) if our ‘amazing’ president has anything to say/do about it, gasoline is on its way out. Forcing our hands to not be able to use them in the future. Sure is a shame. I miss the 90’s 😂

You are 100% right about that. And the companies had this technology 15 years ago too.

@@farewell_to_normalcy9352 Petrol is on its way out. Your "I cannot even ride a bicycle without falling" president doesn't have a single thing to do with it.

Lucky? To have vehicle that nobody will be able to buy at MSRP? Or do you mean a vehicle that nobody will have the money to be able to put gas in?

I'm clueless as to why people like big Jeeps that cannot handle a corner. Can anyone explain what's so fun about having a vehicle like this? What's fun about paying out the nose in gas?

I got the same impression. I suspect that the engine would have to be revved much higher to hear the difference.

Me to both of them sounded the same maybe if you hear it in person it’s different

They should have some optional upright exhaust pipe outlets optional for deep fording creeks out in the desert....well, if there's any water left. I guess baja racing doesn't get as wet as wadi crashing.

Thanks

Agreed. Notwithstanding another solid video from Daddy Doug, just another mall-crawler 🤷‍♂️

@@jeffmills80 I never heard the term "mall crawler" before. That's awesome. Haha.

The OP's post is not only funny but also true. So many ppl buy these high performance vehicles because of their styling and/or for bragging rights but then they just drive them to the store & back on paved roads. What a waste.

@@jeffmills80 I see more jeeps at the mall than anything 😂😂

200k for a bronco? Yes please

They’ll easily be selling this for 50k + over MSRP. Some maybe even 100k over. I wish ford would do something about this.

@@HeyBigChriss I do too Dealers were originally to protect us from markups and now they’re the ones screwing everyone over

Hopefully we won't be saying this in 10 years

Not as bad as if they made an electric version lol

Yep, very astute and indicates they had someone on the design team who has actually wheeled. Turndown exhausts are huge

I don't know who would take a brand new truck rock climbing bro. It definitely is for mall crawling and for people who want to look tougher than they really are. It's basically an ego vehicle.

Good pointers, but most people - most likely right-winged white people - will buy this to flex on their neighbors, because that's what suburban people do. They don't know the first thing about offroad endeavors. LOL. Would be nice to have $70K to risk destroying.

@@brarautorepairs tell me you drive a garbage jeep without telling me you drive a garbage jeep

@@brarautorepairs so? People buy cars like Shelby mustangs and hellcats, with zero intention of ever going faster than 100mph… the capabilities is what sells a vehicle. Not the practicality. The fact ford dealers still can’t keep these on the lots should say plenty,

@@burgerbandit3646 jeep is not outclassed by any means. If that were true, they wouldn’t continue to have record sales.

You don't, but less wires to disconnect when the doors are removed. The less you have in the door, the lighter the doors to handle and also less to get damaged when they are removed etc. It's just a smarter move

I think its arguable, because you still need signal and power wires leaving the door anyway, and arguably the switches dont add to the weight of the door, the motor and mechanism is heavy. Simplifying the door is a smart move though, I'd probably do the same but its interesting.

Because some buyers might actually WANT windows?

@@tedschmitt178 windows go w/ the doors.

thats what I was thinking the whole time, its the same connection for the widow motor and once the doors are gone the windows are too, so who cares about the switch when the thing is already... gone

Agreed, I can't stand most of the new SUVs. Maybe I am finally getting old but they truly are all starting to look the same (GM, European, Japanese, Korean makes). So hard to tell these apart and it has been going in that direction for years. Dodge/Jeep, Landover and a few others still make them unique, but few others. Most of my family has one of these bland versions and I get the impression they don't like my Bronco. Well to bad as you can drive your vanilla SUV all day and I can have my unique looking cool car that can actually do something offroad!

@@panzer948 Eh most land rovers look like incredibly boring overpriced generic SUVS in modern day as well, only very few land rovers look cool.

It’s funny a brick is now considered innovative. I mean it’s a great looking and incredibly fast/capable brick but still a brick.

I think it make it looks cheap. Not a fan.

Where did you get that information? Here's all I found from Car and Driver website I have pasted the article below: NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation is looking into complaints that owners' 2021 Ford Bronco SUVs suddenly stopped running and would not restart. The cause is believed to be a possible valve defect in the 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine, which is standard on the 2021 Bronco Wildtrak and optional on most other models. The safety agency received three separate petitions in March 2022 requesting the investigation, which could lead to a recall if the results warrant one. The ultra-popular Ford Bronco is now being investigated for a possible recall after 32 owners complained that their 2021 model SUVs stopped running suddenly and would not restart. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Office of Defects Investigation is currently at the stage of reviewing three separate petitions filed in March asking for an investigation into the issue. told Car and Driver in a statement: "We are aware of a select number of engines with this concern and we are investigating. If any customers are experiencing issues, they will be covered under the vehicle's five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. We will cooperate with the NHTSA as we always do." NHTSA says 25,538 Broncos are potentially affected, although there is no recall on the horizon at this point. Owners can check the NHTSA recalls site to see if their vehicle becomes subject to a recall. I read this as NO RECALL. So ...what are you talking about? Probably just a bunch of pissed off Jeep lovers complaining or trying to disparage Ford in my opinion.

@@imrytebeehyneu I get that you weren’t talking to me but your comment made no sense. Thanks for clarifying

Facts!

392 actually has a higher base MSRP. Think again

@@02hreblue30 While that is true, the 392 also has more support in general being a Wrangler. Literally the most aftermarket parts you could think of, and it is also smaller so it can get into more places. The one thing it's missing is a stick shift option. Otherwise you've still got the much cheaper 4XE to think about as well, or just a Rubicon with a V6. The engine is worth the extra money, why do you think people pay 10K plus for diesels in the new HD trucks? Edit: I'm pretty sure my jab at the price there at the end was pointed at dealership markups which is a problem for both just even more so for the Bronco.

@@conor7154 Rear spare tire mount is my guess

What’s wrong with the back up camera?

@@ReDEclipsE28 nothings wrong with that, but with the led screen mirror you have a constant unobstructed view of what’s behind you without having to put the car in reverse or mess with the video screen.

@@Johnny-xj5qu have you driven with one of those or used them long term? You don't understand how you expect to look in the mirror and adjust your head position or angle to see more - with a screen you get one static view and that's is. The rear view camera is fantastic on the Bronco and removing the 3rd brake light and going to an internal wheel light will help greatly.

@@D3thM3tal It’s not even a brake light. The light is just the marker light. Doug left out that vehicles over 80 inches wide need marker lights but do not need a 3rd brake light. So you could probably easily mount a set of the marker lights to the back glass of the removable top and then have a set on the roll bar for when you remove the top.

There are still relatively affordable cars, even though the average price of all vehicles has gone up. If you just want a regular ass SUV, check out the 2022 Hyundai Santa Fe. Decent trims for like $36k. Subarus are pretty good deals, too.

I would just add one word to that statement: "cars and trucks for enthusiasts are only for rich people now a days".

@@theglowcloud2215 Your out of touch if you think 36k is affordable. 20k for a base Corolla if you can find one without markups is already made for the absolute elites of society in my books.

The infotainment isn't special for the raptor, it's on every bronco (and it's the same ford sync system you find in other ford vehicles like the F-150).

You said “detailed the” twice

No shit, Sherlock. Doug knows this too but wants people like you to comment🧐 more comments = better for Doug. Are you new to the channel?

@@pinut187 in the video he said he wished they the exhaust system more cosmetic and didn’t understand why they simply had the exhaust cut off high up which led to my explanation. And just because Doug owns a couple defenders and a gwagon doesn’t mean he knows everything about off-roading especially rock crawling as he has never done extreme rock crawling with his vehicles understandably so

When he said 70k I laughed out loud. The base model is still 30k above msrp. And as long as people keep paying it they’ll keep charging it.

@@Mjohnson409 Dealerships are getting gross at this point.

It's not nearly as difficult as you make it sound. You seriously have trouble telling brakes from turn signals while driving? Or just overthink it?

@2 Corinthians 4:7-11 Yes, I kinda understand the "simpler" design on very old cars, where you would have less bulbs to worry about. But on modern cars with light clusters that always have space for more bulbs, it just doesn't make sense.

That'd probably cost way too much for what it's worth.

If they were to release a solution I think they’d offer a backup camera toggle for the center screen or offer a digital rear view mirror. The second one is unlikely but I wouldn’t put it past Chrysler to consider. They already have digital rearviews and idk about ford

If nothing else, there needs to be a camera shot in the center RVM.

fr

All-out with recalls too, lately.

Hahahaha

I think that comes from his armpit

From wiping his face.

Nailed it. I was going to get a Braptor. Was first on list at my dealer. But after off-roading my Bsdlands SAS many times. I can’t justify how wide the Raptor is. Many trails we do, my Badlands barely fits. Being wider would be a huge problem.

You’re correct. Mini/mid size trucks have taken over the trails long with the side by side so brush has grown in making them narrower.

Don't forget guys, the Raptor name is *BAJA* related. The Bronco Raptor is more suited to Baja type offroading while still being a somewhat reasonable trail runner. Hence why it's so wide.
