You have a perfect personality for the camera, while also bringing great information. I originally found your channel from the 87 vs 93 octane test in the Bronco and just watched this video. You have gained a subscriber. Keep up the great work! Your humor, information, editing and quickness to the point will definitely bring in even more people watching your channel! Keep up the great work!
Love your style and presentation. You say more in three minutes than many do in 30, and your tasteful humor, brevity, and thoroughness set you apart. I look forward to more Bronco content, and am subscribed.
The lack of a soft top is the main reason I didn't get one, got me a hardtop Jeep Rubicon and bought the factory soft top which I use during the summer.
They offered a soft top. I had one Oder as a add on for $2450, but decided not to keep that extra. After hearing discussions of the wavy back windows. Some said the Best Tops were made better. Good luck in your if buy a soft top.
17 isn't bad for gas mileage. I get 15 in my two door black diamond with Sasquatch package. But it's still winter in Michigan and a lot of fun to have in the snow.
Speakers were probably my biggest problem behind the auto start stop. I got the bestop for the 4 door and its a really nice unit but I get the reasoning for not wanting it. Surprised to hear you fuel economy is that low though. I have been getting 19 to 20 most of the time in my 4 door with the v6. If I am going uphil that drops it quite a bit though. If you want to fix the speakers they make a harness on amazon now so swapping the speakers is really easy. The factory six speakers system is 4 4" 25W paper speakers and 2 6.5" 25W paper speakers. I got all Kicker KSC speakers and they are amazing.
Thanks for the tip on the speakers! I'm not sure why we are getting the same fuel economy and you have the more powerful v6. Do you have the Sasquatch package?
Can you share the link to the speakers on Amazon please? Thx! I test drove one a few weeks ago and mine is arriving this week and that was my biggest gripe. It sounds horrible.
I just bought a Ford Bronco 2.7 Outer Banks three days ago and decided to use my 2019 Ford Ranger as my daily driver because of the fuel consumption. I love my Bronco but not as a daily driver
@@CodyJDyke That's awesome! Small world. No sir I don't but it is my dream ride lol. I've been watching all the Bronco content I can. That new Bronco Raptor is SICK! Got my eye on the Badlands though. I'll probably just live vicariously through you Bronco owners for a while lol.
@@731Woodworks I just ordered the 4 dr Badlands! I could totally see you making Bronco content! I'm in Louisiana, who knows we might meet at a Bronco event one day, lol. Oh and thanks Gerald for your content as well, I've also been eating up as much as I can while I wait impatiently!
I submitted my order on March 7th for the Wildtrak Sasquatch with the HOSS 3.0, 4 doors in Green. I’m so excited and hopeful that my order will make it through the production nightmare a little more easily. Hopefully the HOSS 3.0 have fewer orders in line being that the HOSS 3 is new. However if Ford push the HOSS bits and pieces to 2023 Model cycle, then things would be getting spicy for me. I’m currently still hopeful!
Also really good job on the filming and editing and the flow of the content was well laid out. Will you mod the Bronco on the channel? Did I detect somewhat of a Kappa Shimmy… Lol
That's going to be a nice spec. You're going to love it! Mine was a demo model for the dealership that I bought it from so it's missing a few options that I really wanted. Yes, I'm going to mod my Bronco on the channel so stay tuned. ;) Hope your Bronco gets delivered soon!
@@gerardpcollins Thank you for your reply. Anyone that cares enough to take the time to answer people commenting on their video will get my supscription ! thanks Gerald !
I have the 4 door with soft top. Wish I had the hard top. LOL Grass is always greener... If I were to add anything to this list, it would be the location of the grab handles, they are pointless on the side of the dash. MPGs are understandable (it's shaped like a brick.:D) Also the lack of area on the rear to put my precious stickers!
How is the quality of your back up camera? Mine is not high quality at all. And yeah it definitely needs a better audio system. Other than that I absolutely love it.
The holes are still there unfortunately. The front grille will probably have to be replaced to fix it. Luckily, the holes aren't that noticeable since the grille is angled slightly backwards where the holes are drilled.
Hey Gerard love your videos. I commented on another one too. Great content man. I’m curious about the road wind noise with just the two front panels off. I saw a review that says it was so horrible that they had to put the panels back on after a couple minutes on the hwy. Is it that bad? Mine is arriving this week and that really got me wondering because that’s one of my main reasons for getting the bronco - the convertible aspect of it and like you, I live alone so I probably won’t be taking off the rear much. Thx and keep making great Bronco content 🙌🏾
I don't think that the wind noise is all that bad as compared to any other convertible in my opinion. Also putting the windows up greatly reduces the wind noise if it gets to be too much. Not sure why they felt that it was so bad that they had to put the panels back on. I think you'll find it to be reasonable. Glad to hear that yours is finally arriving this week. Thanks for watching my videos. I really appreciate the support! 🙂
True you can do that, but I always forget to hit the button after I start the car. I guess over time it would have become second nature the longer I own the vehicle. But so far, I never seem to remember Haha.
Bucked tooth Lama😂🤣😂🤣😂, my aunt Mary God rest her soul looked like the Lama picture you flashed!!! A buddy of mine had a old Jeep 2 door 4 cylinder, I was shocked when he told me he got around 14 mpg’s. I’m still chuckling over the comment about the Lama😂🤣😂🤣, only 1 bad comment on videos,,,,,,NEED TO BE LONGER, THERE GREAT!!!
Replacing the 4 inch speakers on dash and rear pods is an inexpensive, easy but major upgrade in sound quality. Adding an amplifier takes it to the next level. We ain't seen nothing yet for fuel prices so that needs to be kept in mind with Bronco. High energy prices are just part of Bidens America. Auto Start/Stop is so dumb and should be on steering wheel or turned off by default.
@@gerardpcollins I got mine 2 weeks ago finally. 2 door 7 speed with sasquatch package in the area 51 paint... I love it!! But I bought it to replace my tacoma I use for offroading up here in vermont
Gerard I would advice you to sell your Bronco ASAP and get a Tesla Model Y. The Bronco is already old news, on the other hand Tesla is the new kid on the block.
The Tesla Model Y was the other vehicle I was considering when I bought the Bronco. Despite the quirks, I still think the Bronco is more my style but I wish that it was electric. If Ford ever builds an electric version then I will definitely trade mine in for it. One of my friends has a Tesla and it's awesome. I wish I could afford both.
First you COMPLAIN about fuel economy - THEN you whine about the auto-start-stop that's SUPPOSED to save you Fuel!!! SMH... just put it in Sport-Mode - it goes away.
It sounds like it was an overpriced and underwhelming experience just like everyone predicted. I would not overlook all of those things and still pay top dollar for a vehicle

He is very entertaining to watch, good humor without being annoying.
Yeah the low gas mileage is a bummer. I'm looking forward to a hybrid version.

Love the way you describe everything in a very understandable and relatable way...without a lot of jargon.
I like this channel. Straight to the point, well spoken, and kinda funny
The lack of a soft top is the main reason I didn't get one, got me a hardtop Jeep Rubicon and bought the factory soft top which I use during the summer.
I absolutely loved your video. It was educational, to the point and very humorous! Keep up the great work sir! This really helped me.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
That Dougie was clean😂🤣 great video
Thanks! 😂
Short, sweet, concise...with a little humor thrown in. Thanks for the review. You earned a sub.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the sub!!

There is a lift unit that you can purchase for around $680. It is electric and you can use a phone app to run the lift. Search Harp Top Lifter.
I agree on the soft top and the radio start stop does suck lol lol
Great video my friend. I have had mine for 24 hours and noticed the same things. Like you, I’d buy mine all over again tho.
Speakers were probably my biggest problem behind the auto start stop. I got the bestop for the 4 door and its a really nice unit but I get the reasoning for not wanting it.

@@gerardpcollins I do not. 4 door black diamond standard. If you have bigger tires that could probably account for the difference.
Can you share the link to the speakers on Amazon please? Thx! I test drove one a few weeks ago and mine is arriving this week and that was my biggest gripe. It sounds horrible.
I have the B&O and really like it. The first mod I did was get the Start/Stop Eliminator.
You are so on point with EVERYTHING 👍
I just bought a Ford Bronco 2.7 Outer Banks three days ago and decided to use my 2019 Ford Ranger as my daily driver because of the fuel consumption. I love my Bronco but not as a daily driver
After seeing those sway moves I had to sub. Nice video.
Lol thanks for the sub!
Great video. Thanks for sharing!

@@gerardpcollins You're a natural on camera. I would never guess you didn't have 500k subs. keep posting those videos!
Nice rig! The Big Bend is the most underrated trim level. it also base the best grill! I have a ‘21 Big Bend SAS 4 door, and I love it!
I'm planning on ordering a Base 2 door when the books open up again, but I'm tempted by the Big Bend.
Also them roof racks and 2 dr parts are definitely hard to get I’m struggling to find a OE roof rack

Nice to know you can bypass that auto start stop thing. I would not buy one unless something like that existed.
The auto stop start feature is a federal mandate. I believe auto manufactures are required to have it default to on. That dance you did was the best!
Not federally mandated because vehicles with manual transmission don't have them. Car manufacturers put them on to claim better fuel economy numbers
Love these videos man!
Glad you like them. Thanks for watching!
v6-twin im getting 21.6 fullsize bronco in city?? not in eco, i do always turn my motor shut off off
That's pretty good. I struggle to get that even with my four banger. Do you have the Sasquatch package?
@@gerardpcollins no
That’s a huge change coming from a Camry. Goes to show the wide appeal that the bronco creates.
The B&O sound system is indeed not much of an upgrade... add a subwoofer, though, and it's plenty.
Great Videos! I also really want an electric bronco, it would allow me to do all the things I want without having to pay for crazy amounts of gas.
An electric Bronco would be awesome. If they come out with one, I will probably trade mine in for it. Glad you like the videos. Thanks for watching!
Smiles per mile sir. Smiles per mile 😃
Sure have enjoyed your videos!!! Watched all of them before getting my Bronco.
Glad you like them. Thanks so much for watching!
I agree 100% about the auto start/stop. Where did you find the delete for it at?

@@gerardpcollins Thank you!
what about wind noise?
LOL! The front license plate bracket.... thank goodness I live in Florida!
Is that the Sasquatch package? If it is, I would gripe about the crazy amount added for it.
Yes, I have the Sasquatch package. Definitely an expensive option.

You're right, the back up camera is not of the best quality.
Good video. I’m considering relocating my plate and I like your solution. What did you do about the holes from the old mount under the grill?
The holes are still there unfortunately. The front grille will probably have to be replaced to fix it. Luckily, the holes aren't that noticeable since the grille is angled slightly backwards where the holes are drilled.
I agree the sound system is horrible, tin can.. i find it better with the top off but harder to hear.
I want to be at least half as awesome and funny as this guy when I'm his age
Bronco sounds pretty awesome if those are the complainants 🏁💯🤙

Well informed. Thank you.
Cool video. Cool Bronco.
My Bronco is coming (...some day). Same color as yours - looks good! Where did you source the license plate bracket?
It's the KR Off-Road Front License Plate Bracket. I bought it off of Amazon. Hope you get your Bronco soon. These delays are ridiculous.
the dace lol!, sweet bronco
Good video !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Waiting instead for the 4 Runner redesign.
Not a fan of stop/start, but i figure, you can push the Start button, just push the other one , right after..........jmo
True you can do that, but I always forget to hit the button after I start the car. I guess over time it would have become second nature the longer I own the vehicle. But so far, I never seem to remember Haha.
22 mpg damn that's good I'm getting 15 mpg in my GMC acadia

You obviously didn't buy it to use it for why it was built. That license plate would be a bad ideal
True, but if I do some serious off roading it's pretty easy to take it off. It's held on by two small bolts.
@@gerardpcollins I got mine 2 weeks ago finally. 2 door 7 speed with sasquatch package in the area 51 paint... I love it!! But I bought it to replace my tacoma I use for offroading up here in vermont
I do agree the base model is definitely a base haha
I can't believe the front plate comes like that stock. What a travesty in design.
Love the dancing lmao
you don't want softtop, bad design and leaks... super noisy.
IF you are able to get and drive the new Ford Bronco - SHAME ON YOU for complaining about it! You are so fortunate...get over yourself dude!

#1 reason: THE PRICE. #2 reason: THE PRICE. #3 reason: THE PRICE ,, etc, etc

go buy your Camry back
0:05 Please don't give Ford any ideas
Don’t go EV, it’s not better the environment nor will it save you money. Don’t fix something that’s not broken. Love the video 😊
