I am so glad you guys are doing this series. The information you're providing on the day to day livability of the Bronco and the capability of the Bronco on long trips are two of the things that are most important in making a long-term purchase. Also give ME that other Bronco lol. Love this channel
You should stop by Boulder, CO and visit TFL Truck. They have a First Edition Bronco Sasquatch. It would be interesting to take them both on a trail to see the difference in performance. Plus, you can gain some potential subscribers.
The soft top noise doesn’t bother me, and if I lived in Alabama or in the Southern United States, I’d be more inclined to try it, and I may opt for a full soft top during the summer. That aside, the factory soft top has a dimple in the side windows, most likely from how it operates, and I’m not a fan of that and I’m happy with my choice going OEM hard top, and having the option to use an available soft top later. ✌🏼
You must have passed right by my apartment! I live right alongside I-70 in Kansas! I would have loved to see the bronco so I'll keep an eye out for your return trip!
that's the lease of your worry. Have a BRONCO & and feel the strength of power off-road, up the rocky nountain and security on the road. miss my 1988 BRONCO like HELL!! I'm just greatul for my 2005 RAV but I want my BRONCO BACK!!! Oh SOFT TOP!!
Time to calibrate that tire size into the CPU. My wife finally got her VIN number last Saturday! Build date of 9/27. Maybe she will get it by Christmas!
Wearing flip-flops while driving? Illegal in some jurisdictions and not a great idea. Why didn't you have the service department recalibrate the speedo?
FORD SUCKS BIG ONES.... I requested my $100. back.. they REFUSE... giving me the run around. Call the dealer, they said, the dealer said they dont have my money...
wrangler & bronco & Suzuki jimny are number one cars ever. also mahindra thar and mahindra roxor are fantastic too. also tlc-70-series. (toyota land cruiser 70-series) . also nissan patrol (y61.super-safari). also am expecting the ineos grenadier will be great as well. as for new defender we don't know yet if is the same horrible trash as it was before or it will be same quality as a decent cars.
Hummer h2 has 35 inch tires .hummer is v8 6.0 giant engine. That tires are too big for any jeep for any bronco. Bronco engines are too small for that tires
I have been an avid Jeep owner for a few yrs, and I am IMPRESSED with what FORD has done with the Bronco. SERIOUSLY thinking of trading my JLUR for a BADLANDS. Love your videos...Thank You from Upstate NY
@@xplrarav48 i ABSOLUTELY go off road after watching a video of Lite Brite going on the Rubicon trail with friends in a Bronco Badlands...SUPER EXCITED
2nd Generation broncos were from 1973-1979 you are talking about the 6th generation when you talk about the new ones. If they make a new model of the latest broncos then it would be 7th not 2nd gen.
ZOINKS, my 2017 Tacoma Sport got 21mpg (24 hwy) . My 2016 4 Runner gets 19 average mpg. 376 mile range on my 4 runner. More storage in both my Toyotas as well.... The Bronco does look cool tho. you drove 1200 miles in a day? 17:45 hours? yikes....
Ford screwed up…. The Bronco get together has a name that isn’t memorable, they should have made up a name for it that was memorable by either rhyming or using an alliteration like jeep was smart enough to do (Jeep Jamboree)… Bronco Blow Out, Bronco Bout, Bronco Bazaar, or Bronco Expo…. As to OP’s comment about a road trip in a Jeep, the Jeep front seats are mega comfortable so even with my bad back I was able to drive from Las Vegas, Nevada to Prince Rupert, British Columbia before putting the TJ on a ferry to Ketchikan… slept in the Jeep several times, more comfortable than I’ve been on much shorter trips in other vehicles (especially my old 1986 Honda Interceptor)…
Pretty impressive time on a very long drive. I made a similar drive back in 85 from Ft Walton Beach to Denver in 30 hours. It just seems like driving across Texas would take forever!
DON'T THINK YOU NEED BIGGER FUEL TANK ON BRONCH UNLESS YOU WANT MORE WEIGHT ADDED ON IT! FORD ENGINEERS COULD HAVE DONE IT, BUT BEACAUSE BRONCHO IS ALREADY ABOUT 6,000 LBS OR MORE, IT'S A NO NO FOR FORD.
wow absolutely the best Bronco video you and I believe anyone else has done so far... To give complete and specific commentary on a long trip like you did was just fabulous... Very in depth and I imagine lots of Bronco owners will appreciate the video
Did you misspeak? You said you are getting BETTER gas mileage with larger tires? That is highly unlikely, larger tires are more un-sprung weight which will decrease gas mileage.
Probably not a popular opinion but the 37s look awful. Ruin the bronco vibe and retro look. Kinda like a 2 bit nigh club singer that butchers a beetles classic.
What year is this? it gets 13 miles to the gallon? People of the 70's in the future fuel economy will not be any better. I was going to buy one of these, but that is gas mileage is ridiculous. Comical and sad!
I wanted a Bronco for a bit now. I am hoping to win or build one in a year or two! Atleast after I have some time in my new job. Your videos make me more pumped to get one. Keep the videos rolling!
How can you fix the differences in mpg/miles to make it accurate? Question regarding the MT tires-how is the wear on them just doing normal driving? Do they wear faster or last just as long as an All Terrain tire?
Does anyone else find it interesting that he started the video off in Arkansas then 5 minutes in when he shows his math for the fuel mileage shows a route that goes completely over the state of Arkansas?
I have a 2019 Jeep JL Wrangler. With the 3.6 L and 8 speed tranny with 35's ( Hankook Dayna Pro MT2's) HWY mpg at 75 mph 26.8 , in town 23 mpg. Now I live in Montana at 6000 ft in elevation so thats what I get in my Wrangler running 87 octane.
Questions 1) did you need extra lift for the 37’s? 2) why remove fender flares? Looks super cool! 3) what front bumper is that?? Your rig looks sweet. Can’t wait to order my 2022!!
Whoops. We tried to recreate the map after the trip. Apparently Google maps had us go a different way than we actually went. We used Waze during the drive
Thanks for letting us hear the sound on the top! Every review I’ve read and video I’ve watched makes it seem like it’s the worst thing in the world. But it’s not that bad!
thing that boggles my mind is why did ford make two Bronco? and both look close but yet very different cars.. I feel like that was a very bad marketing
I enjoy the videos and never come in to put a product down unless-but why would you not have the speedometer re-done to coexist with 37's? Good long run, I drove my JL from Arizona to Georgia 25 hours and averaged 17.0 MPG and that was 2.5 lifted on the 35's and rock rails ,winch not a rubicon-not sure if it's a good comparison, also the soft top did not buckle at the back windows like the bronco did. That's peculiar.
Son use to live in Dallas about a 1200 mile trip from West Virginia, I could do it in about 17.5 hours, the drive wasn’t bad but the sun in your face most of the day heading west wore me plum out.
Jorge Lopez and TFL were able to get better than 19 mpg on their Sasquatch Broncos with 2.7L V6s. Jorge drove from Houston down the gulf coast in his Wildtrak and got 18.something in that direction but got over 19 mpg on the return trip. TFL drove their First Edition Bronco on a road-trip across a long stretch through Colorado and they got about 19.3 mpg. I think Jordan from Bronco Nation said they got something like 21 mpg in their 2.3L Badlands with 33" tires on their trip from Florida to the T&C facility in Alabama.
I purchased a Big Bronco and prior to this I was driving a mid size SUV. I have noticed it becomes difficult to control Bronco once it crosses 80mph especially if there are curves on the road. It can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle as it has happened with me. People in NJ highways drive in the 90 to 100 mph in the left most lane on the highway and one just can't keep it in that lane. Do pick up drivers also face similar thing? I don't think so because I have seen them driving 90 to 100mph in the same lane and at the same time maintaining good control, even if the highway has curved roads.
I've done many 1200+ mile cross country drives in my two-door '17 Wrangler. The seats are very comfortable, but the solid-axle makes the Jeep have really bad road skitter over rough pavement. The handling is only so-so, and it's not a pleasure to drive at high speeds for long distances. The soft top is loud and leaks a lot of air, so you have to get the heat adjusted just right. The road skitter is, by far, the worst part of every trip.
I love this car but its fuel economy is just 1990 bad , imagine a full size land cruiser gets better fuel economy while weighing more and having more power and space
How are you not going to stop talking during the decibel reading? Lol
Right? I was like Holy Sh*t, shut up for a second already. 😂
Hard for a sales guy usually...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Maybe take the headrest out of the center rear seat when you are folding them flat. That looks like it'll give you more room.
I love common sense lol.
You could also plug in an ext cord or multiport to it, just dont overload it.
“Particular” = 1 shot
“Specifically” = slam a beer
YOU GOT IT!! from a BRONCO LOVER
‘Without further adieu” = 2 shots.
"Without Further Ado" count = 2 (Mitch made it through the whole thing without telling us he's 6'3"!) 😂 Way to go, Mitch!
Yeah….I definitely will not be getting any overly large tires. More mpg for me to cruise the beach, park, and fish.

I spent a full day in one at the offroadeo in Texas. I found the seats very comfortable.
You know I’m asking how the Bronco drove off the lot of Town & Country without being Re-calibrated for the speedometer? 🙄🛻
Well the fender flares are ripped off with offset wheels sticking the tires way out. It actually makes sense... #brodozer
that's the lease of your worry. Have a BRONCO & and feel the strength of power off-road, up the rocky nountain and security on the road. miss my 1988 BRONCO like HELL!! I'm just greatul for my 2005 RAV but I want my BRONCO BACK!!! Oh SOFT TOP!!
I love these videos, but i'm starting to count how many times he says "without further ado"...lol
Owns a dealership and can’t take five minutes to recalibrate the speedo?
Ford seats are comfortable no doubt
Time to calibrate that tire size into the CPU. My wife finally got her VIN number last Saturday! Build date of 9/27. Maybe she will get it by Christmas!
Hey bud when did you reserve yours? Just trying to get an idea when we may get our BD. And congrats btw.
about 16 mpg on the hwy.......I know it has a lift and bigger tires but my god thats terrible.
Man, your videos are great Mitchell!! Also, get that Bronco speedo recalibrated :)
Wearing flip-flops while driving? Illegal in some jurisdictions and not a great idea. Why didn't you have the service department recalibrate the speedo?
You can remove the middle headrest for more access to the outlet.
Seat tech from 1966. Power seats another $ addon or something, wtf?
FORD SUCKS BIG ONES.... I requested my $100. back.. they REFUSE... giving me the run around. Call the dealer, they said, the dealer said they dont have my money...
I totally agree the tanks are small for the fuel economy, especially on the two door. Hopefully the after market brings out an Aux tank option.
15 MPG- OUCH. 😞
Just did 2500 miles in our Sport, averaged 32 MPG, can’t complain.
Except it’s only a Sport.

I would never get a soft top
The Bronco needs a 5.0 motor…
Yep with the Mustang super charger! That would be sweet!
give it a fucking rest dude

when you have a BRONCO you never wish for any other truck especially if you are an outdoor type or an explorer-like me. Now it;s a truck f9r camping!!

Horrible mpg, hope Ford brings it out in a bev…..
Coming from Himalayas, anything below 15,000 feet we don't even call them mountains. They are hills.
Did you misspeak? You said you are getting BETTER gas mileage with larger tires? That is highly unlikely, larger tires are more un-sprung weight which will decrease gas mileage.
Stop saying "without further ado" in your vids. Mix it up some dude.
Probably not a popular opinion but the 37s look awful. Ruin the bronco vibe and retro look. Kinda like a 2 bit nigh club singer that butchers a beetles classic.

How tall are you and does that have an effect on the decibel reading?
I'm surprised he didn't add 6'3" to the pikes peak elavation LOL.
@@diesel6916 😂
So you expect a Mustang with a 30 gallon fuel tank - your level of being realistic for vehicle size is a tab off...
I wanted a Bronco for a bit now. I am hoping to win or build one in a year or two! Atleast after I have some time in my new job. Your videos make me more pumped to get one. Keep the videos rolling!
Bronco is my dream. Very informative video. Would love to win that full size y'all are going to customize and give away!!
Does it require Premium Fuel. As my Gran Pappy called it Hi Test
Wow 1200 miles in a day! Not bad for a short guy. Thanks for sharing your experiences, at 6’3” those must be some good seats.
I chuckled at 37" tires. Lol. Why?
Why not, it's his.
The 2022 bronco prices are up across the board. including the packages.
Without further ado. Without further ado. Without further ado. Without further ado.
Sounds respectably quiet,., you’re not yelling at all… I’d have to yell in my former YJ, and be loud talking quite a bit in my 2012 JKU
I'd hate to drive anywhere near this guy. Giant tires and no fender flares, this suv is going to be throwing rocks
It's hard for me to take seriously a grown man who goes out in public wearing shorts and flip flops.
A simple recalibration will correct the speedometer/odometer.
No that throttle response is because of the electronic throttle by wire it’s programmed like that 👎
Jeep tops do not flap around especially if you have the premium soft top which is equivalent to the bronco top that you have in this video.
No one mentions this, does the back seat fold up? Like in an f150. Can I raise the seats up?
I live in Denver we should have dinner. So you can tell me all about the bronco event.
How can you fix the differences in mpg/miles to make it accurate? Question regarding the MT tires-how is the wear on them just doing normal driving? Do they wear faster or last just as long as an All Terrain tire?
Yes you can. It just takes a programmer.
Does anyone else find it interesting that he started the video off in Arkansas then 5 minutes in when he shows his math for the fuel mileage shows a route that goes completely over the state of Arkansas?
What’s the drive like at highway speeds 75, 85+?
thirsty.
I have a 2019 Jeep JL Wrangler. With the 3.6 L and 8 speed tranny with 35's ( Hankook Dayna Pro MT2's) HWY mpg at 75 mph 26.8 , in town 23 mpg. Now I live in Montana at 6000 ft in elevation so thats what I get in my Wrangler running 87 octane.
It’s good to see a road trip review. We are having twins and I always wanted to know how well the Bronco does on long trips. Thank you!
How is the handling at highway speeds before and after the lift and 37s?
Questions
1) did you need extra lift for the 37’s?
2) why remove fender flares? Looks super cool!
3) what front bumper is that??
Your rig looks sweet. Can’t wait to order my 2022!!
Yes you do need extra lift for 37’s. And the main reason to remove the fender flares is because it does look cool! The bumper is 4wheelparts
15 miles per gallon???? In that little thing? I get that much in 96 5.8
So your talking about your truck not a typical Bronco. Who cares!
Great video but you can't drive a Bronco with flip-flops. :)
Great video but 55 mph is not gonna cut it 😂 let's hear it at 75 lol
Lol really world leave the kids at home only two seats available with all that u put in there it became a sports car lol
How's the audio system on the roadtrip? Is that a High or Lux package? Looks great on 37s. Fun watching Shelby drive it.
high package sound system is awful...if you replace just the dash and rear 4inch speakers it makes a major difference.
13MPG? dafuq ford thinking
1200 isn’t really a lot of miles
The Ford hood protector does a lot to keep the bugs off the windshield
Middle of Arkansas, huh? 0:05 According to your map, it says you never even drove through Arkansas. 5:10
Whoops. We tried to recreate the map after the trip. Apparently Google maps had us go a different way than we actually went. We used Waze during the drive
I am from Arkansas. I noticed that too. But that makes sense.
Thanks for letting us hear the sound on the top! Every review I’ve read and video I’ve watched makes it seem like it’s the worst thing in the world. But it’s not that bad!
My local dealer got a demo, I drove it 30 miles, in city and highway, road noise was not an issue at all.
You can fix the trip meter and speedo by changing the tire diameter and psi in the ECU. Eville Truck did a video on it.
Why? It's better for resale
thing that boggles my mind is why did ford make two Bronco?
and both look close but yet very different cars.. I feel like that was a very bad marketing
i hope i win! cause there's no chance and way id be able to afford one
that is worse MPg than my Raptor and Rebel I had lol
my new car..the one you guys are giving away, of course!
Ouch, that gas mileage
What is the final roof height with the 37s
As far as Bronco second generation is 78/79 years.
What’s with the check engine light? Any issues?
I enjoy the videos and never come in to put a product down unless-but why would you not have the speedometer re-done to coexist with 37's?

I can't get one until they put AC vents in the back. My wife's Jeep Compass even has vents in the back. WTF Ford?
Took delivery of a Outer Banks Sasquatch and am so freaking happy. Ford killed it
Son use to live in Dallas about a 1200 mile trip from West Virginia, I could do it in about 17.5 hours, the drive wasn’t bad but the sun in your face most of the day heading west wore me plum out.
Did you know the Ford Excursion is actually a BRONCO,? Yes, itt was. I never knew a soft top made noise, mine just sits there… Quietly.

Ha on your way back you have to go through Texas just so you can stop by Buc-ees gas station. If you know you know.
