Today, July 1st 2021, my wife and I just finished the Bronco Off-Roadeo in Austin, Texas. We cannot express what an amazing experience this is. The instructors are money !!! Instructor background is a key point. Without great instructors, you would have nothing. The course is amazing and really challenging. Unless you are a level 10 rock crawler, you will learn new techniques. Even if you are a level 10, you will learn what the Bronco can do. We have never experienced true rock crawling and it will take days for us to digest what we learned. THIS IS FUCK!NG AMAZING !!!!! Order a Bronco, TAKE THIS COURSE !! -Mike and Debbie Montgomery
Had the pleasure of participating in this. I highly recommend it for anyone who is remotely interested in the bronco. Our lead guide Corey was highly informative, gave clear cut instructions, entertaining, and relatable to everyone in our group. It may seem a little overwhelming at first with all the information thrown at you in the beginning, but once you start applying what you learned on the course, you’ll become more at ease. I had a blast and thank you to Ford for providing us with the opportunity!
I did attend the 2nd Class of the Bronco Experience. Wow it was well worth the time. From the registration to the final lunch I cant say enough good things about the BRONCO (It will be worth the wait) the track, the food, the guides, thank you Ford for having the foresight to make this experience happen. I hope this is a trend for upcoming models as well. Great marketing tool. When I get the new Bronco it will be my 4th one and by far the best. Jeff & Holly Horseshoe Bay TX
Excellent review, Jeff. Josh was our lead trail guide..The best! I never realized the terrain could be so challenging in Texas, and how well Bronco handled it. The rain the first day worked in our favor to cool and challenge, esp on the rocks. I would score it a perfect 100 event.
Wish they'd have one in the Southeastern US somewhere. Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina... I'm sure there are tons of new Bronco people (like me) who live in that area of the country and would love to attend. 🙂
Ordered my Bronco but haven't got it it. Can't wait to take it to the Off Rodeo because I live 5 minutes away. Not sure why the media keeps referring to this location as Austin. Maybe because they think Austin is cool? Not anymore IMO. This Off Rodeo is in Horseshoe Bay, Texas. A good 1 - 1/2 hours from the Austin airport. Everyone that we run into is staying either at the Horseshoe Bay Resort or a VRBO.
I'm trying to make my reservation but its not letting me 😭 i can't get past the " verification " part..? I already confirmed my email for my ordered bronco.. How long does it take to "verify or confirm"...?
The four OR locations around the country are available to those in Canada with a Bronco order. You can attend Moab, Las Vegas, the Northeast, or Austin once COVID restrictions lift for the border crossing.
Unfortunately you will have to make a reservation before you can go. It is not a place where one can stop by. Head to broncooffroadeo.com to register and reserve!
We happened to drive past this course last Friday. They were still getting everything together for the general public (It started on Monday). From what I saw, it's going to be an awesome event. We will be going on July 30th and 3st. It was my first look at a real Bronco. We got a closeup look at he Blue one shown at the beginning of the video. It had some trail damage on it. The bead lockers and skid plates were scarred and scratched. Also, the winch on that one gets in the way of the front camera. After seeing that Broncos actually exist, and are not some fairy tale, I'm headed to Scotland to find the Loch Ness Monster.
Looking forward to the Northeast venue if/when that ever happens. I don't wish to spend a fortune on travel and lodging in order to attend a free event in Austin.
@@user-xw1rh7oo8l valid point: I suppose that I’d rather beat-up someone else’s car. But, the obstacles seems pretty geared/safe/easy to handle. Given the option, I’d chose to drive my own car.
@@PDGX yeah the truck will handle it. But you’ll def walk away with some battle scars. We bottomed out, took water and scraped branches… a lot But then again, that’s what they’re made for right?
They have about 30 or 40 different Bronco's and by day two you'll be glad they are letting you bash theirs. Day 1 is mostly learning about the various GOAT modes, when, where, how to use them and how to go wheeling with no GOAT modes at all. By day two you are fully into technical stuff and crawling up stuff that I really didn't think we'd all get up without flipping something. But no one flipped and everybody got up and down everything. But you definitely saw some bashed plates and scraped 1/4 panels. It was really fun.
Ford can’t seem to get vehicles to buyers, but they sure seem to have enough for these dog & pony shows. (If they put as much effort into actually getting the vehicles built as they put into these little puppet shows, they just might look a bit less like Bush league newbies. Just saying)
@@Daddy53751 LOL. They can't sell them? What a joke. The dealership offered me $2k to not buy mine so they could sell it to another buyer for $10k over MSRP. I work at a different Used Car dealership and they are buying them for 5k over and selling them for $10-15k over MSRP. Not sure why you think Ford can't sell them. This Bronco is easily the best vehicle I've owned. I love it. PS - I did the Horseshoe Bay Off Rodea and it was a total blast, very informative, and I'm looking to do the MOAB course as well.
@@GinoBarasa I’m not absolutely sure what I was talking about either!😂 After constant delays, production issues, hardtops ect. I canceled mine, as I wasn’t ever truly married to it in my heart. (Just dug the Bronco for the retro look) When it did come in, it sat on the lot for a good 6 months before she went. (About 15k over) I ended up going with what I really desired, and got an old first gen Land Cruiser. I looked into first gen Bronco’s but getting into one in fine stock form was headed towards six figures, which was lunacy. Same lunacy as when I went looking for my first car in HS, a 1968 Olds 442 that I payed $500 for, was now mid five figures! But found a ‘71 Toyota that had good bones and been working it up from there. I can put my dog in her and she tough like they just can’t make ‘em nowadays. (As long as you accept the fact that it’s basically a tractor with a roof!😁)

Just got back from Texas. Great experience. Taught me how to handle difficult terrain and how capable the Bronco is.

A once in lifetime opportunity
What a experience
Too cool! Can't wait to experience it!

That 2 door looks good with the soft top!
That's really cool, I want to go.
It is off highway 71 by Horseshoe Bay. I passed by it few times and saw it.
So glad I got a spot soon. I'm pumped for this!
I'm trying to make my reservation but its not letting me 😭 i can't get past the " verification " part..?
I already confirmed my email for my ordered bronco.. How long does it take to "verify or confirm"...?
I got my verification with in a few minutes. Ford also emailed me and let me know. Texas is the only open venue so far. Waiting to book Moab myself.
I am registering for Moab also.
It sometimes takes a few weeks to confirm the order I even sent screenshots of my order. They will sort it out, email them.
So when are you doing one in Ontario Canada
The four OR locations around the country are available to those in Canada with a Bronco order. You can attend Moab, Las Vegas, the Northeast, or Austin once COVID restrictions lift for the border crossing.
I drove by this yesterday, was in a hurry and couldn’t check it out. My wife is ordering one so I think it will be worth a day trip to try them out.
Unfortunately you will have to make a reservation before you can go. It is not a place where one can stop by. Head to broncooffroadeo.com to register and reserve!
I'm going to do the one in moab. can you upload about that?
Any chance they will run Maverick Tremors there?
Can’t wait to go!
So what does this cost?
235 dollars for order holders 200 refundable if you get a bronco
I heard 5 minute lap, will do it in 4
wish there was one closer to us unfort it would be like a 10+ hr drive anywhere
I should move to Texas
Reupload?
Yes! Changes were made to the program, re-uploaded for accuracy :)

How much is it to make a reservation?
100
If you bought a Badlands it comes with it. A guest is a little pricey at $500 but a third and fourth guest drop to $200 or 250 each.
@@thejsterrichardson It's included with the purchase of any Bronco, or the Bronco Sport Badlands or First Edition.
Can non-Bronco owners attend?
If you are a guest of someone who owns a bronco you can, I don’t think its open to outsiders yet but maybe eventually
You would have to be the guest of a 2021 Bronco owner/order holder.
dig it
are kids allowed?
Kids over the age of 12 can attend as a guest.
I saw a guy who brought his grandson he was probably around 12 or so. This definitely would not be appropriate for little kids.
@@TheBroncoNation so no 10
That's more like it
Wish it didn’t have a weak IFS front end...
Can’t bring your own Bronco?!? No byob?! Kinda lame. (Not that I have my Bronco yet…)
I went. You wouldn’t want to bring your own bronco lol. Those Broncos take a beating

I wouldn’t want to bring my own Bronco and damage it, besides most people don’t even have their Bronco yet I won’t get mine until October

@@anthony_sasquatch8056 and now they can't sell them.
