That drive shaft hoop is for if the driveshaft were to break at the transmission it wouldn’t bury itself into the ground and catapult the truck over. Look at other race cares they will have some kind of strap or hoop to catch the shaft if it breaks
@Makin Shooties the hell are you talking about😂 Dude the 2.7L is easily one of the most reliable Ecoboost engines out there, and the 10 speed transmission is well proven to take some serious abuse. There are Mustang guys running this 10 speed transmission at almost 800hp without any issues.
@Makin Shooties yet somehow there are 500k mile Ecoboost engines out there🤣 the 2.7L even has a graphite iron engine block built for durability in mind you fool lol
@Makin Shooties 😅😂😅😂 in now on my second eco boost f150 work truck, the first had 250,000 miles on it and the second has 90,000 on it and so far nothing has gone out on it and I tow a trailer constantly. The economist has been tortured tested like crazy. If it wasn’t reliable Ford wouldn’t put all there chips into it 😂😂😂 the Ford gt super car has a ecoboost engine 😂
@@robertbaumann2159 same , I’m a contractor with a small fleet of 2.7. All have been ultra reliable and all with over 100k and two with over 200k. These are worked running lumber racks and airbags. I’m a happy camper with these ultra reliable trucks. ZERO tranny failures.
I'll go with the Bronco over the Jeep, because I want to use it as a daily driver and not only a rock crawler or desert runner. IFS makes a street a lot smoother.
I don't understand why everyone is so smug about the Bronco having IFS. Literally every offroad production vehicle from the last twenty years (except for the Wrangler and Power Wagon) is already IFS.
Awesome job on the walk around and the tech specs, love the way you look at the platform not just from a builder but the customer as well. You guys rock!
man this is pulling me away from the jeep scene more and more. 6 years of offroading jeeps and seeing you bomb through the trails and rocks has my attention lol!
That smoothness at speed offroad is something you really need to experience. I've had jeeps and toyotas, now in a Raptor. There is no comparison, you don't get beat up at all! Can't wait for the Warthog, I suspect I'll be trading in the truck for one.
@@elchucofried5683 I'm going to see what the aftermarket options are. Starting out I would suspect not many.. but there's going to be so many suspension upgrades to this later..

Bubba, thanks for posting this. This video provides great details. I'm looking forward to seeing the Warthog. I've had 4 back surgies, so I completely understand your situation with back problems and desire for a smoother ride. Keep up the great work.

looks like Jeep pushing you to switch your name turned out to be a positive. Looks like an incredible setup and I’ve been skeptical ever since they said IFS. Did he give you any indication of timeline for the Warthog? That’s what I’ll be wanting
This is good, you pay attention to important details I don't see emphasized in most reviews, including the after-market mods. Kudos! But what I believe is the current Ford thinking is that, rather than borrow the Raptor cachet for the Bronc, they decided to brand it Warthog, no doubt partially in response to the brand one-upping done by Dodge with the TRX. This is a few weeks back but I look forward to you covering the "next" iteration that will be the full-race version, the 4600 I believe. Honestly, still hoping to see a diesel version evolve.
I don’t foresee a diesel version happening. I think Jeep did that to meet certain requirements in the brand and the ecoboost engines already meet those requirements for Ford.
@@Exodus4x4 A guy can dream can't he? ;-) And the EcoBoost is a good engine in it's own right. I was just thinking about range I suppose. Thanks for the like.

Great video and awesome breakdown. Bubba - you're tall (as am I), so I gotta ask a dumbish question. How's the seat compare to the wrangler and gladiator (comfort wise)? How's the leg room on the driver's side? That's one main issue I have the wrangler.

The wrangler will go ifs soon I'm betting. Jeep will lose a ton of customers due to the better ride quality of the bronco while keeping the jeep likeness. Because so many that own a jeep don't truly need the solid axle but will appreciate the ride quality of the bronco. It'll be interesting to see how jeep responds to the bronco.
This thing puts the 2020 Defender to shame. It proves that you can remain true to your identity while still incorporating modern technology and styling. You will actually see these being used as utility vehicles, off-roaders and overlanders, while the new Defenders will be driven around cities by wealthy soccer moms and guys who might take it out to a trail every now and then.

Land cruiser has had it for years, never heard of it failing.
it's just a function of the ABS system... with modern computer controls, there's no reason not to do it.
So does the front camera stay on while driving from the factory or does it shut off like most vehicles?
Stays on while in 4x4!
If you're in Rock Crawl or Baja it will stay on. And if you have the 360° cams you can see both from tires in split screen.
Thanks for making the video. Any thoughts on the power. You had 3 big bodies in the bronco. I'm thinking hemi swap. What do you think Bubba.
It’s a rocket with the ecoboost. The future is small boosted engines, might as well accept it. As long as they hold up I think you’ll love it.
The eco boost is legit, and then 5 star tuning will do a tune for it, and it will really soar
