- Its time to take my 2021 Ford Bronco Sasquatch offroad! I dont plan on just staying on the easy trail roads and go up a few small rocks, and then say how great it is offroad... We are going to put the ford bronco up to the test on some very difficult rock crawling trails here in Oklahoma.
Ive seen tons of content on the bronco out west, and it looks like it does great! But even a kia soul can do some of those "challenges" out west. Lets put the bronco through the paces, and see if it can hit the trails meant for the real rigs!

Unfortunately, body damage is always a possibility, as well as broken parts on the bronco. Its a vehicle that did a great job on these trails, but it still needs lots of work to be able to crawl around in large rocks without completely destroying itself like a soda can.
I am curious to see how a stock Jeep JLU Rubicon would do on these same trails. If you are local, and have a stock JLU rubicon and want to wheel with ben and i, please let me kow! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
It did great till it didn’t! 😂
Ben needs to put his crocs on sport mode 😂
Needed rock slider!!!
My 2021 jeep Rubicon 4xe rides nice , it's my first and I have not one complaint in 8,000 miles !!!
Maybe remove wheel flairs since you said you couldn't see the tires and use the trail sights.
The Bronco excelled on the gravel road to the trails.
Yea both jeeps were modded. So a little lift and bigger and better tires I think it would do a little better
Time for some Nextventure Motorsports Bronco rock sliders!
You too can have them in 2 months if you order now...
Just needs 37s
Nice, no nonsense Bronco wheeling video. It was a little heavy on the cuts I guess, but at the same time, I appreciate you keeping the video nice and short. I think you found a decent balance.
Short cuts seem to help the video do better. Keeps people watching longer from what I can see in my video analytics. Unfortunately more work for me during editing lol
Very nice, glad to see the Bronco out in the wild.
Checkout what lightbrite did for there Bronco rails to prevent that kind of damage.
Y’all are way cool and I’ve been watching both your channels for like 3+ years. There is one thing. Y’all need to stop calling Utah the west coast. That is the desert 🏜. Oregon, Washington & Cali are the west coast 🌊
Bronco's are good for mild dirt roads,,go fast stuff. Just too much work to make a good rock crawler. Good vid keep the Bronco for hauling kids/groceries and get the LJ out for legit wheeling.
Gotta show people that! The bronco is really cool, but it needs 10-15k in aftermarket parts to really be comfortable in this type of wheeling without destroying itself into a tin can
@@JeepGearGadgets Great vid!! Nice to see a vid that gives pros and CONS to the bronco and doesn’t just hop on the bandwagon! Bens comments were awesome! Bronco nation needs to know this! Hahahah
Same for the jeeps excellent grocery getter , this is a base Bronco sas not the top badlands which comes with skid plates and other off-road goodies , These boomers literally are the most cringiest
@@hotrod7603 Their bronco is not a base. It’s squatched and has the front and rear lockers.
@@15jwrangler yeah but it doesn't have sway bar , lsd , rock/crawl mode, bielstein shocks and dampers like badlands
First day on the new feet ben
Ok wait…Ben did you lose weight? You look great man. Time for bronco lift, but it looks like it Performed well. Thanks for sharing.
Just cut out the rockers and weld in some 2x6 steel like us XJ folks do.
Exodus 4x4 and Litebrite are running Next Venture sliders might be worth looking in to.
Well good thing the damage is only on a Bronco. Keep taking care of that Jeep!
Love when Ben said " put your money where your croc's are "
Darn Cass, you really tore that Bronco up , playing " Frogger" on the waterfall 😂😂😂😂
I like that your tag line is to keep Jeeping classy. Even with the Bronco 😎😁
That’s a hybrid turbo you’re gonna need a tune more than anything. Obviously the motor is struggling and you could get a lot better gas mileage and keep all your power, Get a tune.
Better driver and spotter are needed
very impressed with the non badlands trims on these. can't wait to get mine... been on order for 6 months, i have a bad feeling i have 6 more months or more to go.
@Justin igloo man that sucks
What's the difference between their model and the badlands? I believe the badlands has a sway disconnect.
My friend tried to enjoy his but broke drive shaft and trans-axle, he since has upgraded them both
It's really great that Crossbar is getting the attention and exposure it deserves and by the way me and my son helped cut out the overlook that mike showed you
GO!!! ☄️ …. You’re good! 🤭🙌🏼😂
Remind me to never buy a Used Bronco😅
It’s been a while since I was here
What’s happened , nothing new?
Sweet video 💯🤘🏻
I'm in okc as well. My bronco is in transit to the dealer, so hoping in next couple weeks I'll have it. I would love to get together with y'all sometime and go wheelin
You just want to try and get with Cassie.
You might want to check out the sliders that Lite Brite put on their Bronco.
The booms were from okcpd bomb squad doing tests by tinker.
Great video good to see the Bronco make it and do well. I haven't been to crossbar in awhile.
Makes sense!!
for better tire visability take the flares off
Sell it now LOL Great Video So I'm thinking ourside the box. My name is Cassie and lets keep Bronco Busting Classy.
Check out the rails/sliders Lite Brite has, they are there for actual body protection, not like the pinch weld protectors that what y'all have on are for- Either way, thanks for the fun content!
We’ve seen them lol.
Some don’t like them, because they are body mounted, but for the rock crawling the Bronco should be doing, they provide better protection than stock Jeep / Bronco sliders.
im sorry but it looks like a giant mini cooper
Lol it kinda does!!!
Lol it DOES!
If you look at old Bronco no it doesn't .
You need to get your landlegs. lol
sucks that it took damage. however, it made for some good content. I would have included that pic in the thumbnail to draw the audience in. Keep killing it!
Why didn’t you use your front camera to help you ??
I didn’t get the front camera.
Ben I think you need to upgrade to the rugged terrain crocs!
that pretty good video. I think need 2" or 3" lift and better tires.
Oh yeah for sure!!
I truly thought the bronco came with insane cameras for tire placement views…..
3 things wrong with the Ford Bronco. 1) not enough suspension travel... 2) it’s a Ford…3) it’s not a JEEP.,
I don’t know how the airbags didn’t deploy when you came out of that waterfall and slammed the front end into that rock
Fun watching the Bronco do some off-roading. Didn’t know those could do that. Great content as always.
"Fun watching the Bronco do some off-roading. Didn’t know those could do that." 🤣🤣 Huh? You didn't know the Bronco could off-road? Where have you been......
Ben needs a backup camera lol
Question on the Damage: Did that happen because something pushed up so hard on the rock rails that it in turn damaged the body or was it a tree/rock that came in from the side and scraped it?
Subscribed because I got a Bronco on order. Can't wait to see more Bronco content.
It was from a tree stump, so the only thing that would have stopped it is by not hitting it, or sliders that come out and up
@@JeepGearGadgets I just did the same thing to my JL after getting 35’s and lift 🤣
what were the ratings on those trails? That was some hard stuff for a stock ride I would not want to try that with my stock JL
Enjoyed the video. That did really well for a stock vehicle.
Do you have any skid plates?
Any undercarriage damage?
No skid plates. Figured we would wheel it as it is… Jeep puts skid plates on the fuel tank for every model. Ford says the bronco can wheel, so we took it out stock.
Just wait until you see what underneath looks like… Ford should have taken a look at wranglers for protecting everything under it lol
@@JeepGearGadgets You ain’t kidding. It’s concerning they don’t even include a gas tank skid on the 4dr. Comes standard on the 2dr.
I’ll have to add a gas tank skid plate
Keep being classy!!
Ford Equals P.O.S.
I am still torn if my next car should be a 2 door one of these or a 2 door jeep.
If your 6'+ and plan to go off-roading, then you might want the FORD. Even the Bronco Sport has more headroom than the Jeep Wrangler.
If you plan on off-roading definitely the 2 door Jeep. There is no more capable vehicle than a Jeep.
Come to Arizona and I will show you some real trail's. Not these little hills 😂.
It did really good for what is an unmodded but with some good factory options. Sucks about the damage, but it was a fun video to watch!
Ok I have one problem her tires aren't wet Ben's tires were wet most people go through the water at the bottom
I should have said, i would extend the rock sliders out an inch in the last vid.
Only bad thing about that is the extra leverage with them being out would just rip the pinch seams off
@@JeepGearGadgets that's an overblown concern. I added tube rails to my stock sliders that extend about 4". The tubes have taken a beating but my rockers haven't.
✋👍
Did you try to disconnecting the swaybars in this test of the bronco?
Nope. This model doesn’t have the disconnect. Wheeled it as Ford designed.
AC fab makes quick disconnects for the Broncos. I have a pair on mine 😁
You guys need to hit up lite brite, I forget who they worked with off hand, but I want to say they came up with a really slick frame mounted rock rail that also came up to protect the lower door sill and it looked really good.
Next venture motorsports made them.
It's 1500 dollar part with 8 weeks delivery time.
First rule for off-roading. Don’t wheel it if your worried about hurting it. And please wear better / safer shoes.
Crocs are the safest
Great video, finally someone pushing a bronco to the limit. Find someone with an extreme recon edition wrangler and compare them. The Jeeps just looks more natural on a trail. Sorry about your damage. Jeep all the way
You should take a look at the rockslides lite brite put on their bronco from Next venture motorsports
Yeah they are awesome! But I’d prefer not to spend 1400 on them.
@@JeepGearGadgets wow I didn’t realize they were that much
@@anthony84501 also they were pre order only for months and now that they are shipping you can have one 8 weeks after ordering.
With all of the things you have fabricated. Why wouldn’t you make your own rock rails?
Just wanted to show how to make very simple rock rails in the last video. Like I mentioned 5 times in that video, just wanted to make something similar to the factory rails.
Terrible way to treat a new Branco, this happens when you have money yoh dont deserve😢
Hate to say it but its POS IFS rig
When you installed the "rock rails" I knew they were not going offer much protection. Look at youtuber, "Lite Brite" to see what they did for a rock slider.
However, I commend you for thinking ahead with your wimpy rock rails. Live and learn.
By the way, many engineers learn from trial and error (failure).
If you order now you can have the next venture motorsports bronco rock sliders in 8 weeks.
Fourteen hundred for sliders or two grand for body work?
What happened to the LJ?
keep wearing crocks on trails instead of boots
Hi Ben,please kindly check the email . Thanks!
As long as you don’t blame ford for all the body damages you cause due to your reckless driving. Then this video is appropriate.
Reckless driving lol. Cute
So praise Ford when it does well offroad, but you can’t criticize when it has short comings? What logic is that?
Told you so...
Told what? It did pretty good for a stock vehicle
@@JeepGearGadgets I asked if that rock rail was really any body protection if it was attached to the body and not a frame component. Got my answer...
@@inspireonex looks like it protected just as much as the factory sliders.
Only aftermarket will protect the sides like you want
lite brite has proper sliders on thier bronco from american adventure lab. not this silly body mounted .095 junk that everyone sells as "sliders"
Well aware.
Next venture motorsports.
@@JeepGearGadgets ya that one lol i dunno one of the ones theyre always peddling
Ben and Cassie use parts that they actually pay for and not parts that were given to them, ergo they use parts the majority of people use since most people don't have their parts comped for free advertising.
@@krisbarnard1684 it's 1500 dollars and 8 week delivery time.
Who here wants Cassie to create an onlyffans channel?? ✋🏼
LET ME GUESS 33" TIRES INSTEAD OF 37" AND NO LIFT KIT. IF YOUR IN AL. OR A NEIGHBORING STATE I WOULD CONTACT TC COUNTRY FORD AND ASK FOR 6'3" MITCHELL. NOT ONLY DOES HE WORK AT TC FORD HE ACTUALLY OWNS & DRIVES THE NEWEST BRONCO. IF YOU'VE SEEN ANY OF THEIR TH-cam VIDEOS THAT'S HIM.
Huh? Why would I need to call a ford dealer?
@@JeepGearGadgets BECAUSE IT'S A FORD BRONCO NOT A JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON
But I’m asking why I should contact him?
@@JeepGearGadgets HONESTY. And if you want honesty in TX = Jorge Lopez at Tomball Ford
By all means *Cassie and Ben,* since you have that huge TH-cam money rolling in, you should buy the most expensive parts you can find *if you can't get them for free.* Sarcasm intended.
Ew.
