Just picked a brand new 2023 (Nov build date) 2.7 big bend with Sasquatch and mid level. Coming over from a Wrangler JLUS 2.0t. So far, fuel economy is pretty much the same, but that’s using regular gas in the bronco vs premium in the wrangler. We also have a 2029 wrangler JLUS 3.6, and fuel economy is dead on the same. We have a soft top with a hard top ordered, but so far the wind noise isn’t that much worse then the wrangler with the factory hard top. The bronco does handle better on the highway and bends, and handles the bumps better. Love the blue color and the interior, it’s a lot more spacious than the wrangler. So far, so good.

Mercury Lynx was my first car. It was the sister to the Escort. I'm in Ontario.

Never owned a pickup, but I love that look!👍👍👍

I think I'll stick with my 50 dollar car play adapter

Hate the AI videos. KZfaq Needs to ban them.

Sorry, did I doze off and miss it or did you mentioned Ranger in the headline but then not talk about it? If the 2.7 power train goes for the bronco, will it also disappear in the Ranger and we’ll get a hybrid mid sized pickup also?

I don't care if there is an issue, EVERY SINGLE VEHICLE on the road has an Achilles heel. It's how they go about fixing it that I have an issue with, the Ford tech's love to say the problem is normal or they can't replicate it and that's the real problem!

hi,i like to look and compare.i like the style,i currently have a 2023 jeep renegade trailhawk which wont come in the US anymore, bums me out.anyway i have been surprized with the 1.3 4cyl turbo.i went to slc yesterday and new it would be an extreme test. 440 miles total, 80 mph across salt flats at 100+ degrees and it did good 24.8 mpg.had oil changed today at 3250 miles was down 1/2 qt and little dirty so i see changing oil more often to keep turbo happy plus having to use premium fuel.after saying all that i really like it.the bronco i think would fit me fine when the time comes.thank you

Most American made vehicles are trash, aluminum crappie, engine, design transmission issues by Japanese and you’ll be happy

Well... I guess I need to put some money aside for next week since we are reviewing the Bronco Raptor R....😂

Hey Johnny,I’m getting 22.3 average. Around town and highway. Badlands 4 door non sas 2.7. Live at 8200 ft. Run 91 octane. Don’t have a heavy foot:). Most fun vehicle I’ve ever owned. Absolutely love it. Wouldn’t trade it for anything else. Waited 2 years to get it. Happy Trails

Hi there, Long McArthur gave you props on their live feed tonight. Suggested you are a great resource for Canadian Ford questions. The question that was asked was….. is the Canadian system the same as the US system for allocations and orders, scheduling etc…. This is of interest to me because I ordered a Ranger with a 2.7 from my dealer in Alberta about June 11 and they have no news or information for me. It seems to me that if the CDN system was the same as the US, they would know if they have an allocation and would have a VIN or a schedule by now. I understand the 2.7 is exhausted now so I’m wondering if I should just ask for my deposit back from the dealer and… should I trust them if I decide to order a 2025. In this era, the kind of crap a customer has to go through to order a car is just unacceptable. Cheers

Best I’ve gotten on a trip was 21 mpg on mostly back roads. Around town I am averaging 17-18 mpg. 2023 two door Badlands, non sas with 2.7 engine. It’s a heavy vehicle but does use regular gas. Thanks for the info. 😎

My Bronco 4 door 2.3 Sasquatch has exceeded every expectation. Avg 19.1 mpg over almost 3 years of ownership. Unless something significant happens it will be in my garage for a very very long time!

I’m getting a consistent 20 Mpg while driving highway 100 miles round trip daily! 2022 OBX Sas 2.7 - 2 Door Bronco

Love my 2023 Ford Bronco Outer Banks with 2.3 l. Did the 1 inch Zone level/lift, with BFG KO2 275/70/18. Getting 9.8 litres/100km on the highway and 10.9 litres/100 in town.

Looks more like the 370z

Good choice, I'm not a mustang fan myself but modern 911's, while being very sporty, lack the sound and engagement of many alternatives despite being double the price.

I’m probably in the minority here but I think the Shelby is a more special car. I do love Porsches & especially the way the targa looks: the most elegant retro vibe without being too retro. I think you made the right choice.

Did you consider a corvette C7 I bought a used one 2018 low mileage and tremec manual… and oh yeh can get tons of gear in the back….couldn’t be happier!

good call as for new 911 s to many nannies and dealers load them up with every opt ,me I like raw , manual transmission pure joy of driving also with a 911 ,most of us Are on the back county roads . so need for blind spot montier ,. Adaptive cruise control , I know where im going no need for nav ,I like the slick top save a few lbs moer head room I always mock spec out base model cars and try to see if any are out there or odd color did any one order one

Better choice! Enjoy it!!

As a long time Porsche owner I would advise anyone thinking of buying an older Porsche, particularly one made prior to 2009 when the IMS bearing was an issue, to do some research and see the pros and cons of each model. In addition to seeing service records, a pre purchase inspection by a qualified Porsche dealer is highly recommended. Porsches are great driving cars, but as you know are not cheap to maintain. Good info. Thanks.

Very helpful reviews, Thank you!!!

You have your hands full with a Porsche... The 911 likely bought the farm... is my guess...[Oh No The MR2...] Sorry to hear.. Enjoy your Summer.

Check for rust, refresh your fluids, check wheel bearings, ride on...

Cancel your order.

its called Maguire's waterless car wash and use good Micro fibre towels. never a brush.

The flashing are IR leds so the camera can see your eyes in low light and at night. Works through glasses and sunglasses, too. On the Mach e, the camera is in the middle between the LEDS. On the Lightning, it’s to the left of the right LED behind that lens. The cameras do not connect to any video systems and only talk to an ECU for driver monitoring.

What color torch red?

Lots of contradictory information on various yt channels :( On another, a specialist commented that these issues were addressed on models from 2020. how is this finally? Who is telling the truth?

Just got information that there’s going to be a tax of over $200.00 for people here in Pennsylvania that own an electric vehicle!! It’s starting in 2025! Another reason not to go all electric👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽

Just had the recall for the curtain air bags and some software updates done on my 2022 XLT Maverick. The dealer had the truck in and out in less than a day, no big deal. I love my Maverick and the Cactus Grey color. I really like the size of it which is about the same as the 3 Ford Rangers I've had.

Maverick is a GREAT SMALL truck - Santa Cruz is tiny.. Great REview - Great Insight - If you want a vehicle from this segment - it's GREAT - well built and gives you what you need.

If you can afford a Raptor and are a serious off roader, go for it. Otherwise go for a Badlands or Wildtrak. Good info Johnny.

They make a sasquatch bronco pickup im buying it.

it's because this younger generation has the attention span of 1 minute or less. the tik tok generation. most of us gen x . rather, have a more natural standard format . thanks for the content!

the dog is best

Can you please do a review on Gen 3 Ford f-150 raptor? ESP. On road drive, practicality, cornering etc. most of the people who buy won’t take these off-road much. KZfaq is filled with reviews by people who get press vehicles/M-plate vehicles from ford and trying to do scripted review.

Did not know the fenders were different sheet metal, now I do. Thanks Johnny!

For someone who will rarely offroad, like once a month or less, and is buying is for fun and open air freedom which one would you recommend. We do want heated seats and steering and as low road noise as possible. Thanks

The raptor is absolutely worth every penny over the wildtrack if you are going to use it at all. They aren’t the same vehicle at all

Can anyone tell me why we can't have, gas/regenerative/plug in all in one? Or is that option out there?

Friend has a Wildtrak. It has plenty of good stuff to make it a Bronco. Raptor is I guess is about 35K more. Not worth it!

Amazing - I have a Standard OBX and my wife thinks it's BIG - but the Raptor is Amazing. The WildTrack is GREAT.

They just ruined it with the grille.

Total crap. I never got called. They are probably picking few specific ones for publicity BS. Ford porn sucks in TX
