Every time one of these broncos sells for above MSRP at a ford dealership for the next 5 years, you can hear the folks over at Chevy yelling at the guy who approved the newer blazer for production a little louder. It's fantastic that they didn't drain this car label of every ounce of it's soul. Hell, even the bronco sport has allot of character. They couldn't have done it better, for the average person and of course their sales.

Obviously, the insane popularity of vintage Broncos fueled the development of this. Kudos to Ford for giving it real usability and offroad capability.

My wife and I love our 4 door Badlands sasquatch Bronco for many of the reasons you mention in the video. We have the 2.7 10 speed and it's a total treat to drive, it's pretty dang quick but thirsty if you don't have it in eco mode, can't wait to add sport mode and see how much fun that adds. The aftermarket support is exploding and this year SEMA was all about Bronco and the new products flooding the market every single day, lots of catching up to do, but the groundwork had already been laid for the Jeep market. Wireless AA/AC, adaptive cruise, auto wipers and auto headlights work flawless. Being able to start, unlock, check oil life, tire pressure and vehicle location at any time through the app is also slick, like all new Ford products. You mention safety but didn't tack on why, Jeep has never had curtain side airbags and Ford did it out of the box, adding to the safety aspect of the vehicle. My only grip, which is small, is no seat memory or cooled seats on our LUX package, but oh well, it's something we can live without. We pre-ordered on launch day, had our Bronco built early Sept and took delivery late Sept and have over 800 thrilling miles on it. We get questions and conversations everywhere we go, it's so much fun.

I am a Wrangler owner. I finally drove the Bronco. It is a fantastic car and I am so happy Ford swung for the fences and did it correctly. That being said, it didn't really feel like a Wrangler competitor to me when I drove it. More like a different class of off roader where you can also remove the top and doors. I felt it was HUGE compared to the Wrangler. Parking lots felt like I was driving a full size truck. Not sure how that will feel on the trail. I also thought the Ford interior felt so much cheaper and thrown together with screens glued in to compensate. Lastly I preferred the V6 manual combo to the turbo 4 manual but I did enjoy the low end torque of the Bronco. I wish Chevy would have done the blazer correctly seeing this product from Ford. And I would DEFINITELY think about buying a Bronco as a buyer but I really think it is a disservice to say this and the Wrangler are toe to toe against each other when really it feels to me we're talking different weight classes.

I rented a Big Bend, non-Sasquatch, 4-door 2.3L auto on Turo earlier this summer. VERY impressed with the drivetrain and comfort, not to mention the looks of this truck are amazing 👌🏼 I got stopped by a guy for pictures and was one of the first ones on the road with one in my area and it got lots of looks. I will say, the caveat to the "low" starting price of 39k is that there were some quality issues I noticed right away (The odemeter showed less than 4k miles) The hood & the front quarter panels seemed very thin & flimsy. The hood wouldn't close unless you_really_ slammed on it hard. Rock chips galore and already a dent on the hood!. Told the owner right away. Next, the softtop was a breeze to take down, even with just one person! However, it swayed side-to-side so much that it scratched the paint on the rear rollover bars. One last thing, 2 of the 9 plastic latch clips for the rear soft-top windows came completely un-sewn, and another was hanging by a thread! I would caution people buying the Bronco for quality of materials & fit & finish. It doesn't have it. Other than that, it's an excellent driving vehicle, and top-down driving with your family & friends is so cool. The 2.3L felt great, fuel economy was great, and I can't imagine how insane the 2.7L must be. Thanks for the great review Jack, you too Mark. You guys are da bes!! 👍🏼👍🏼

I think Ford does an epic job with their interiors. I went back and forth between this and a Wrangler JL. Honestly, the EcoDiesel was the selling point for me. I knew full well that the driving modes, the driver focused interior, and a few other things made it superior to the Wrangler, but man the EcoDiesel and 32.9 MPGs when driving 400 miles on the freeway convinced me I couldn't go any other way than the Wrangler.

Another excellent review. I’m excited to finally see a 3rd option in the mid-sized off-road oriented body-on-frame 4door suv. Although, why no comparison to the 4runner? I’m surprised since it’s the other independent front suspension option in this very small class…

Im sort of amazed they didnt even mention how bad the interior fit & finish on these is though. Hell they had to recall every single hard top they made already, alot of the interior plastics dont look production quality, im far from a Jeep fan but id say the JL or 4Runner has a much better/well built interior cabin

It’s so tempting. I still love traditional trucks, Wranglers and this looks fantastic. Then, I remembered what it’s like to love road trips and driving boxes on a highway with super loud cabins. So exhausting. This Bronco at least mitigates the added annoyance of the truck jumping into another lane when you hit a bump. But they are so fun yet thinking on it, driving a car like a GTI or other driver-oriented car with driving dynamics and a quiet cabin is way more fun.

Must say I'm amazed by the amount of research and development that has gone into the design of the vehicle and the plethora of models and available accessories. The team heading up the development mush be huge and they spared no time or cost to make it a success. The commitment by Ford management to do it right is appreciated. The Bronco is a hit right out of the box, and has enough variations to please any imaginably customer.

To put this vehicle over the top, the V8 and the 6 or 7 speed manual would just make the new Bronco a total legend. The fact this isn't priced into the stratosphere because it's the latest and greatest or because it's a "legend" (Jeep Wranglers) is also an advantage. Ford will do extremely well with this as time moves on.

The only thing missing is a good diesel option. My full size GMC Sierra is a heck of lot bigger than this thing, yet gets 26 MPG doing 75 on the highway. I can get 29 MPG if I keep it at 65. Plus a diesel fits with the low-end torque requirements of off-road vehicles.

I own a '21 JLU Rubicon (acquired in Ocober '21), and delayed my Jeep/Bronco purchase decision to have the opportunity to first check out the Bronco in the flesh. The 2 door with the Sasquatch package looks great, but apart from the fact that you simply can't get one and probably won't be able to get one even into 2023 at this point, I cannot get over the interior and that awful instrument cluster. The gauge cluster just reminds me of something Nintendo crossed with Windows 3.1. It's awkward and not particularly attractive. Much prefer the interior on the JLU, though a bucket seat option would be nice.

I’m happy the Bronco is out so we can see some competition, I think it will be healthy for both brands. I also agree that Jeep needs to step up, the IFS in the Bronco makes a huge difference in handling. In terms of fuel economy, I have gotten 24mpg average on long road trips in my V6 Gladiator loaded with climbing gear, my wife, and my dog. Not saying that’s the norm, but it is possible to get decent mileage.
