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.

The subject of Mark and Jack being harsh on Ford should be a no issue. We know what Ford can do when they put the time and money into their products. Mustang 350R, Ford GT, Ford Focus RS, Ford Fiesta ST, F-Series to name a few. So when all of a sudden they create an inferior product it can be disappointing and no excuses should be given.

Respect to Ford for making some of these with a manual transmission.

I swear Jack's growth over the years has shown with how well he delivers the review. I swear I thought it was Mark speaking with a Jack voice modulator attached to his mic at first.

The design and execution of the Bronco was top notch. I especially like the squares off macho real life Tonka truck look. I don’t think I would go for the more pricy trim model, and I’m not thrilled about Ford’s build quality and the reliability of this thing, but from a design and ‘feel’ perspective, it’s a solid car.

I’ve been watching this channel going back to the Scott Turbowski days. I hope the subscriptions come in droves. The quality of this channel is highly underrated in my opinion. Keep up the good work guys. If I see Savagegeese come up on my feed I make time to watch it!

This is the only channel that I don't mind seeing the second fiddle in line. Jack has been great.

The only thing that really improves all products is competition so I’m very happy to finally see a Wrangler competitor.

Really appreciate the 'on road' focus of this review. SG is 100% spot on that 99% of Bronco drive time will be around town.

I know the MSRP is low, but the markups take this into Defender territory. Not to mention that with the hardtop fit being compromised, you can't get one that isn't a soft-top currently.

I'm not a Ford fanboy, quite the opposite in fact. The new Bronco though -wow. They executed the design and capability so well. When you bring a beloved nameplate back this is how you do it. GM must be kicking themselves right now with their bs Blazer. They could have done something like this and had something truly special.

"Not priced into the stratosphere"... Until you try and buy one from a dealer and get hit with the truth about the current market. I work at a Ford dealership and these things are selling fast and people are happily paying out the ass to get em.

I learned the other day that Jonathan Ward from Icon, consulted with ford and helped design the Bronco based on his knowledge and it shows: it looks modern and new but oozes character from the old broncos. Love it.

Jack's not kidding about Jeep Wrangler front end vagueness on the highway. I rented one in Hawaii, and had a riot beating it offroad (My goal was to return it dirtier than anything the rental company had ever seen). But the front end on the road didn't even feel connected to the steering wheel. I honestly thought there was a problem, but a quick look underneath showed it was fine. It only had 2000 miles on it. Obviously, the insane popularity of vintage Broncos fueled the development of this. Kudos to Ford for giving it real usability and offroad capability.

Driving impressions about the 4 cyl turbo: have had a 4 cyl turbo in a car for about 20 years now and it hits peak torque around 1800-2000 rpm and rev's out to 7200, but I spend 99% of the time around 1800-3000 rpm, just get up to a high gear around 35-40mph, and leave it there, plenty of torque, tows well. A slightly larger, similarly tuned engine for most vehicles is perfect. We are seeing these smaller turbo motors that make gobs of torque down low in many vehicles now and they are beautiful to drive.

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’m surprised that the rear headrest was able to support the weight of Jack’s incognito green Bullion bag. It really demonstrates the build quality on offer here.

Wheres the OJ edition?

Underrated channel. Should have at least 1 million subs considering production value.

I feel genuinely embarrassed for the Explorer design team given how well executed the Bronco is.

Black Diamond is literally the best configuration

I hope Toyota makes a competitive option.

Love this trim level. The lower trim levels with the 4 cylinder will one day be a good value. Not now though. Would love to know more about how that manual performed for you.

Excellent, concise review. SG going back to their roots with no gimmicky editing or out of place jokes for the sake of it. The Bronco is a great product - Ford hit this one out of the park. For those saying you guys are hard on Ford, that's the point - you continue to be one of the most objective review channels that tell it like it is, for any OEM - and for that, this is what makes you stand out - don't lose that.

Will be interested to find out the long term reliability. Volume leveling fellas.

I can usually get over not having a V8 but this needs the 5.0. People would pay whatever Ford charges for it.

An insider source told me the Bronco Raptor will be priced competitively with the RAV4 Prime around 94k $.

Thanks for highlighting the highway inefficiency. Great point.

As far as the question of reliability, it should be noted that the 2.3L and 2.7L are generally proven engines that have done many billions of miles in millions of F150's, Rangers, and Mustangs since their introductions more than five years ago. Same for the 10 speed automatic. Been around for a semi-long time. You really ought to be ok on the powertrains with these things, unless the transfer cases and axles reveal some problems.

You can get a used 2-door First Edition where I live for....$109,000.00. Ridiculous. I want one, but it will be years before they are reasonably priced.

One of the best reviews yet. Thank You!

Jack became such a good reviewer

Since I started watching this channel my hair has started growing back

A truly great review with more info on details than others. And thanks for not speedtalking. Love the Cactus Gray color in your model if that’s what it is. Aside from the understandable eyewatering gas mileage, this vehicle has so much going for it. The styling and character are off the chart. I am amazed that a US manufacturer has put so much work and effort, and regard for their buyers. GM is dead to me. Well done Ford!

This is great and all, but when are you going to review the Dodge Intrepid?

The Bronco 2-door First Edition is the one to get. It’s surprising to see 2-door options of both the Bronco & Defender. #SaveThe2Doors

I’m glad they’re finally offering the squanched base with a manual, but the price is approaching 40k when you go that route. At that point the badlands isn’t terribly far off. I also wish the manual wasn’t only offered with the I4, I know it’s a capable engine but long term I’d want something with direct and port fuel injection.

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. Just my 2¢.

Great review. It's amazing how far Jack's presentation skills have come.

Found a dealership doing no markup and had to jump on it. Offering the manual with the Sasquatch for 2022 was a no brainer and thankfully Ford listened to their customers. And that new green looks so damn good. Lord knows when it’ll come in, but that gives me plenty of time to save up a healthy down payment without that pesky APR.

this will be good for Jeeps honestly. Finally some competition to push them to innovate and not rest of their laurels.

“Lifestyle vehicle” sums it up perfectly. I wouldn’t pay over sticker for any vehicle.

Appreciate Ford for making the Sasquatch pkg available on all trims; what a refreshing change! For me it's the base w/ Sasquatch. I want an off roader and don't need a back scratcher, fortune teller and whatever other options are available.

These are HUGE! Good luck going through a Drive Through

I saw a yellow 2 door yesterday at the dealership and later saw a blue 4 door later that day. AWESOME LOOKING TRUCKS! I definitely want a 2 door in yellow!

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!! 👍🏼👍🏼

Been waiting for this! I have the 2.3L and am getting almost 22mpg, so I'm surprised to hear that you are getting 16 or 19mpg.

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

Deep down inside, I really feel like everyone has a soft spot for this vehicle. 😁

Perfect spec with the gray and steel wheels

That opening B-roll tho 😢🔥🔥🔥😤 …Straight Butta !!

Manual? Amazing to see this available now a days. Looks great too. 👍

I have the 2.7 V6 in my f-150 and it is a seriously impressive engine.

Good, thorough and objective review Jack. Thanks. 👍

nowadays car reviews are like graphics card reviews an in depth review of something you'll likely never be able to buy next year due to stock issues and overpricing

Alternate Title: Hard *top* work doesn’t pay off

A lot of my non car enthusiast friends want one of these just because of how cool they look. Other than the lack of a v8 and some of their markup and production quality ossues, Ford knocked it out of the park

Always enjoy your perspective. Great video guys.

Test drove a 4 door with the v6 auto and really enjoyed the ride and roominess over my JKU. Around here 10K over is normal right now. I want one if and that's a big if the car market ever normalizes again. Enjoyed the review, you nailed it.

Coming from years of sports sedans as my default car, this vehicle realistically entices me to switch it up. Driven Jeeps before and they feel ridiculous to daily drive on streets, this seems like the right compromise

Savage praise from the geese on this. I sat in it at the Seattle auto show. Other than being to small for my taste it seems like a good product. I appreciate the trim level customization.

this is the best trim and color in my opinion. so utilitarian

Last time I was this early Savagegeese and Turbowski were still romantically involved.

This will take the place of my next SxS, an in closed cab and is cost competitive when you start to look at enclosed SxS that must be towed to the trail.

I must say I don't think Ford has ever executed a vehicle this well I'm actually impressed and I would take this over a wrangler eyes closed wouldn't even have to think about it... They finally launched a vehicle proper, Chevy fumbled the blazer, The wranglers getting old, and not in a classic way,

Although I'm not currently in the market for an off road vehicle like the Bronco I've closely followed the introduction and launch. 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.

Can’t wait to see you guys get the Maverick. I love the Bronco but the Maverick is going to be a big seller for Ford. The fleet Maverick will sell millions, that in city MPG is a game changer. The Maverick is my next vehicle and I can’t wait to pick one up next year.

I agree with a lot of the comments. Jack has gotten extremely good at doing this.

Can't wait for all the backlash of people who bought a Bronco Sport then pulled up to a red light next to a Bronco and asked the driver "What is that?" to hear "it's the new Bronco!" and replying "I thought that's what I GOT?!" - All these people finally getting 'woke' to the fact that Ford played them, sold them an Escape with a Bronco logo and some cool 'trim'....LOL - Regardless of how 'cool' this Bronco is, and the fact that Ford has been working on it since 2004 when they revealed the 'Bronco Concept', It's still a Ford and it will never get more than 60K miles w/o any issues....Godspeed...

Nice work. Great video guys!

The amount of information you guys provide is top notch.

Great review, thanks. And while I'm not in the market for this type of vehicle, it's good to hear Ford has delivered an excellent vehicle.

When Jack was talking about the JL I could have sworn he said “I’ve spent a lot of time in jail.” Had to do a double take

Goose releases a new Ford video on the Bronco……my Ford stock goes to $25 a share! Thanks bro!

Jack. Your words were well choosen and you seemed very at ease in this video. Maybe your best work I have seen. Very well done jack. Seems like talking to a friend.. not rehearsed or funny... but great honest opinions and well reasoned. God jack. Impressive work.

Another great video from the Savages. These Geese really know how to review the cars and SUVS. I wish they did an offroad segment to highlight the highs of the Ford Bronco. Also I wish they removed the doors to highlight that aspect.

I have zero interest in this vehicle. I’m just here for another well-crafted automotive video

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.

Really excited to see your guys coverage on the new Ford ranger!! That is going to be my next daily that can also tow. Wish the bronco had more towing capacity

Remember when people paid 100k+ for the new supra when it first came out? Just wait around for a year and (assuming no chip shortage) prices will come down.

I'm a simple man, I see new savagegeese I hit like. This is my life.

Great review. Dealers marking these up really has me questioning their reputation. However on the other hand, if they didn't folks would just buy and flip them.

Needless to say, great review, its simply what I've come to expect. I'm commenting because I really like the musical selection on this one... kudos!

So awesome that you reviewed a manual. I ordered a manual badlands that is going into production in Jan 2022. Can wait to get it.

That color with those black steelies is awesome!

I hope that Ford keeps iterating the Bronco, refining and improving the formula. It’s a very good first draft. Ford seems to give up on things just as they’re getting better. The formula here will be hard to abandon, so I hope they don’t get complacent.

Great review! Black Diamond is the sweet spot in the line up and is exactly what I would order. I am in agreement...I think right now the Bronco is the better all around vehicle when compared to the JL.

This would be the exact trim level I would get if I was getting one ☝️

This video made me search far and wide, and I found it - Black Diamond 7-speed 4 door … MSRP … love your content, thanks for the video.

Bronco... just the name makes this car legendary.

Thanks. It looks like something I might look at sometime in 2022. We had an old Jeep XJ Cherokee at one time and the Bronco seems to emulate much of what made that vehicle so appealing looks to be done, in a newer and certainly updated manner.

That guitar rift tho 🔥 🔥 🔥

This is the ford of the 80’s and 90’s. Cause they listen to the ford daily drivers. More options and choice means. As you said “ one for everyone”. Great video

Gotta love the bronco

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.

That intro music.... smooooth!
