I was hoping you would offer more info on why the Bronco was so bad. I had an Ecoboost Escape that I drove to 200k miles and it never failed. You didn’t make a case against that. If it handled badly, it could be a one-off. I guess you needed a good headline
your assesment of the bronco disagrees with all those other testors o n you tube the jeep is the one that is all over the road not smooth at all .i have repaired many a jeep professionally and also own a new bronco it is also very capable off road.
@@derekkeeler8946 the Jeep is an ancient platform the Bronco is a brand new ground up vehicle and they are very squirrely with big tires. And let's set aside the fact that I work at a Ford dealership on that junk all day long
Watch the crash test with the new bronco..it folds up like an aluminum can…Jeep fairs much better in the same test…the handling issues are I’m sure related to lift and tire choice
You definitely got a unicorn. If you look at the ratings of that car and the frequency of repair and the class action lawsuits for the ecoboost engine you will see
The reason the engine bay looks like a rat's nest is because they moved all the wiring up high to aid in water fording depth. Although it looks nasty, it really helps to have all those sensor connectors high, dry, and easy to reach.
Shocking, a Jeep owner bashing a Bronco. I probably had Jeeps longer than you have been alive and I can tell you 100% the independent suspension/comfort/speed/mpg is far better than any Jeep I have ever owned---8 to be exact. The only thing the Jeep does better is at approach angles.
Congratulations on 400k! The first video I think I ever watched was the video where you gave that van to your uncle and boy have you came a long way. It sucks that a bunch of the cars are probably totaled before we even got to see them but I suppose it could be a good thing as it frees up some room and money. Also I really like the Charger.
I think I've been watching him since he had the Black Cruze and C6, waaaay before the blue classic car incident with WeirdBeard. He had like 150k back then
I purchased a 2023 2 door bronco (black diamond ). Special ordered with the manual transmission and bare bones on interior options. I like it a lot more than i ever thought I would.
So, you look at the engine bay,you drive down a street, turn around, go back & the review is complete. Then you call the vehicle trash. Very thorough !!!
And at an auction. I've had my 2D Bronco Badlands for nearly a year. One of the best on road 4x4 vehicles I have ever owned, no complaints so far. I drive it far more than I had originally intended on. If anyone says a Jeep Wrangler (of any year/trim/level) drives better than a 6G Bronco, they are just a biased fan. That being said, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
That RT Charger had a dented up drivers door, and the hood had a good size dent. That Escalade looked nice, but you're right, that $51k is a ridiculous price, even at retail for something with that many miles. I would buy the Chevy Yukon/Denali or whatever, sitting next to it instead.
The 2.7 is a very good engine. Its one of the only Ecoboost engines that was designed from the ground up to be turbocharged. Its block is made with the same materials and architecture as the power stroke engines with forged i beam connecting rods. There are an extremely low amount of reported problems with this engine in the F150s.
Except for the belt driven oil pump. Same for the 5.0 V8. The fact that Ford would put a belt in oil driving an oil pump is enough for me to pass on it.
Exactly, I am surprised to see that many golf balled cars that run and drive just fine. That insurance companies total cars just for hail damage, that does not hurt the drivability, is unsustainable.
That's just the vanity of humanity. If it's not pretty, they report the damage and get something new. Unless hail damage actually breaks glass, I wouldn't even report it and keep driving my car. It's the drive train I want insured so I can actually DRIVE my car, and not look pretty in a giant brick that won't run.
Ins carriers total hail cars as body shop repair estimates come in so high. Doesn’t pay for them to authorize the repairs. They could start excluding claims for hail damage.
To be honest , I think the only bronco I liked out of the new ones has the manual transmission . The charger sounded really good . Hopefully your rigs weren't too badly damaged .
Congrats on 400k. Of the ones you looked at I would get the Silverado. Seems like it would make a good work truck or even a daily driver. Sad about the storms doing so much damage. Hope everything works out for the best.
The Bronco is so much cooler than the Wrangler, imo. However, it’s not many owners that HAVEN’T reported problems with them. Also, Wrangler sales are still higher.
The Bronco is great until one finds the mess under the hood, personally I would swap all that out if it were possible same for the Wrangler and put a nicer engine in there as well. I am not big on speed but very much want something that will just last without needing to be minded too much beyond just basic maintenance.
We just drove a new Wrangler. I thought the fit and finish were garbage and the engine was crap. I couldn't believe they wanted 45K for it! Back in 2003, I worked for a Jeep dealer for about 3 months and I thought they were bad then. The Stellantis drivetrains are just shit. For me, the Jeeps died when the 4.0 went away and they tried to make them everyday drivers. My buddy had an 83 back in the early 90s with a 350 SBC swap. It was brutal and beautiful. These new ones are just lipstick on a pig. I like seeing the look of horror on a Jeep owner's face when I tell them I'd rather drive a Range Rover so at least I'm comfortable while I'm waiting for the tow truck.
I could not agree more!! I own a 3.4 liter 2000 4Runner with 285k miles lifted 5 inches on 33 inch Mickey Thompson tires.. so you know I’m a die hard Toyota guy but I will always have love for the straight 6 4.0 liter ! Great engine !
@@MrKillswitch88I've seen the new bronco with a hellcat swap and with that engine in the engine bay I can imagine trying too work on that with the small space. But I'm sure a small block ford would work just fine being how small the engine bay is. Also you could maybe fit a big block engine in it but may have too fab some stuff for it too fit properly.
Sorry to hear about the totaled cars Randy. That sucks. Yea, I'm not really a fan of those Broncos either. I know a lot of people like them. More for them I guess. I like that Charger! It sounds really good!
I own a 4dr Sasquatch Bronco Badlands, I sold my JK Unlimited. I love it and I completely disagree with you, except with the start/stop and the engine. - Just Sayin...
Yeah some dealers are a-holes. It will be actively raining and they will leave the windows down and sunroof opened. They do it to devalue the vehicle. Very Very crappy on their part.
That's really sad to hear about your cars Randy. The Escalade is really high mileage but it looks not bad. The Bronco is cool but the Charger is definitely the one I would go with here. Keep up the great videos!👍
WOW just popping the hood already from someone who works on rigs and gotta say omg there is so many little things to go wrong i mean the engine looked like a dang spiderweb i agree you couldent pay me to drive this you would have to give it to me for free then i would sell it so fast and buy 2 good rigs LOL no joke though
On that Silverado, the clunk sounds like a motor mount to me. Sadly, the torque converters go out on those GM 6 speeds and you can't tell if the converter is weak until you get up to cruising speed 55+ and let it ride in 5-6 gear. Had one myself. The built-in trailer brake is a huge plus, because that means it probably has the HD cooling package.
I don't like dodge but the charger seems like a safer option imo no to the bronco nd no to the escalade give the gm a chance maybe a lift 35s nd u got something
On the Escalade, that sounds like severely worn out bushings causing the sway bar to contact the sub frame. Most noticeable under acceleration and braking.
I worked at a auto dealership for 38 years and I don't remember any customers wanting there brake fluid changed, I never done it myself don't see any need to
17.3 mpg in the Bronco? That's what my 1993 F-150 Flareside with inline six (4.9l) and manual transmission (without stop/start) got. Now 30 year later, Bronco gets the same thing with a 2.7l turbo engine. That's sad. Those aggressive tire treads will also make the ride nasty.
I was stunned when he said 17.3mpg was "not bad at all". No, that is VERY bad for a slow vehicle. One of my rules is that if I ever have a car that gets less than 20mpg, it better have a sub 4.5sec 0-60 time.
@@StationaryEarth - I remember when my Dad had his 1970 Chevy Malibu (305 with 3-on-the-tree), and after a few years he was getting 21 mpg and was pretty excited about that. I drive a 2012 Ford Focus hatchback with manual transmission (no trans issues) and in the summer here in NE Ohio I get 36 - 40 mpg in mixed driving. I REALLY enjoy that in a daily driver. I just can't believe after 30 years that a Bronco only gets the same gas mileage as my old pick-up did. There's been so many advances in technology. Yeah, I was shocked too when he said that 17.3 as "not bad."
It's actually SHOCKINGLY bad given it's engine. 99% of people who buy these will never see a dirt trail. The mall is where they are all heading. This thing is all about image, and nothing more. I will happily stick with my trouble free Fusion Hybrid. Great ride, Toyota's hybrid system and tranny, and 60mpg in the city.
As for the bronco the one button for the rear tires is the trail turn assist which locks either the rear right or rear left tires when turning around in a tight spot on the trails
That Bronco had a serious bunch of off road goodies on it. That funny rear wheel graphic is for the inside rear wheel drag feature to help in off road tight turning. After market mufflers really spice up the exhaust sounds. That was a two door. It has considerably less room than the 4 door.
This is the first video of yours that I've watched. The fact that within the first 7 minutes you said that the Jeep Wrangler drives better than the Bronco tells me I don't need to watch any more of your videos. The Bronco is a very good daily driver that is SO FAR superior to Jeep in that aspect that your comment makes no sense. Bronco SURELY has it's issues, but drivability is not one of them.
Ford Bronco- Rough ride and bad handling is probably contributed to the big tires and the independent suspension. They don’t keep alignment well with the front suspension
Too bad Ford decided to make it cheap. They should have over designed it to try and recover their brand. Everyone I've talked to has Hated Fords and many will no longer buy one again. I was a loyal Dodge fan and finally gave up on them. I think we will lose a major player in the next few years.
It amazes me that when Ford released these they had nothing but issues with them. At the same as the Bronco, they released the Maverick, which has been fantastic thus far. Dealerships can't even get them they sell so fast.
The people that praise the Bronco or the people that have tried to justify the $50,000 plus price tag that they paid and sometimes 10K over sticker, but most people that come to our service Drive have regret for their choice because it's just not a good daily driver
@@ChaoticDave69 I see it on a daily basis and the multiple recalls in the dissatisfaction and you want to tell me I'm wrong? Are u a god believer or trump supporter? Because there's a thing called reality and there's an alternate reality which evidently you live in or must have been sucker enough to buy one
good luck selling the cap off of the silerado i tried to sell mine and ended up just just cutting it up and throwing it in the trash. but im like you i like the truck
Really have no idea about your review on the Bronco. I have a two door WildTrak and it’s like night and day over the ‘21 Rubicon I traded in for it. Have zero issues getting up to speed and cruising at 80mph on the highway with the 2.7 liter. Who cares if there’s no plastic engine cover. How many times are you “looking” at an engine in a newer vehicle?
Nothing wrong with the bronco bonnet you did not know how to close the bonnet. Did you check tire pressure. You bad mouth the Bronco just for clicks for your TH-cam channel. You really don't know much about cars
Yes the bronco has it's flaws but I'd own one over a jeep any day of the week! Congrats on 400k I've been watching for a few years now glad to see your channel still growing!!!!
I would take the Escalade if you think you can repair it. It was probably an Uber lux. The Silverado was probably a little slow with the front bumper and electric winch.
The Escalade Has A TON Of Miles On It, And My Best Friend Had A 2018 Escalade And He Always Had A TON Of Repair Problems With Alot Less Miles On It Than This One Randy, I Would Offer 40,000 Dollars At The Most 😀😀😀😀😀 That's The Reason The Ford Dealership Is Not Trying To Sell It On There Lot 😀😀😀😀😀
Flip the bronco, (after F-END ALIGNMENT),KEEP SILVERADO, PUT HALF CAMO, HALF FOREST GREEN OR METALLIC GREEN ALL OVER. FLIP IT . ALL AMERICAN CRAP ANY WAY.....
I have owned a four door Bronco for a year now. Love it. Never noticed wind giving me any problems? Not fast enough? What, it’s made for off-road. If anyone is interested in a Bronco look at all the content available.
I'd take a Rivian R1S over the Bronco any day. Internal Combustion Engine loyalists will bitch about EVs all they want but, EVs and Hydrogen fuel cells are the inevitable future due to technological advancements.
The bronco is way better than any wrangler . I’ve had a 2 dr 2 years with zero problems . They ride 400000% better than any wrangler . At 80 on the highway no sway or what you described . But yet you swoon over a junk Chevy truck lol
I deliver cars for extra retirement income. I took a new Bronco WildTrak Edition,($65,000.00) from Northeast Ohio to Northern New Jersey last week. Brought back a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Edition. Stepping out of the Bronco and directly into the Jeep, the difference was night and day. In my opinion, you can't judge a Bronco or a Wrangler if they're two doors. Those vehicles as two doors go down the road bouncing like baby buggies with that short suspension.
The intro screen is impressive? Really? That screen can be put on any car. Ot is just an epectronic screeen with a picture. Show me a car that gets 300k miles from oil changes alone and three set of tires and three sets of brakes and I will start thinking about owning a Ford. The four runner will do it. The Sequoia will do it and more. The Lexus RX will do it and the Lexus GX and even the Lexus NX will do it. Also you can do it with a CRV, Pilot, and an Acura MDX and maybe the RDX but it is less likely. The rest of the SUVs on thearket are suspect except the Mazda CX line which is a bit less on reliability but sportier. The mazda is my choice for a rental and a lease car but with ownership it goes to the Toyota Rav4 for all around good. The CRV is better looking but the Rav4 is just a bit better with reliability but just barely. I may go for the CRV just for looks but probably not. My next two cars are a turbo honda civic hatchback with a 500hp motor (building it as we speak) and an older Honda Pilot for a daily driver, and then a honda PCX150 scooter for a fun little mess around vehicle to drive around and get 90mpg while having fun. I will have 12k in total into the 3 vehivles when i am done. 7k for the turbo civic, 4k for the older Pilot, and 1k for the PCX150 used.
I have a 2022 Bronco Wildtrak and love it. They are not junk, if you are saying Broncos are junk then Jeeps are Junk also and any other vehicle. The do have issues like most new vehicles.
You obviously haven’t done much research on the bronco before making a video……very little knowledge on specs etc…. Them late model Chevy trucks are garbage ….ugly as hell to begin with……plus a buddy of mine works for GM tech support ….tells me constant horror stories of daily issues GM products have from front to rear …..he worked for Ford prior to GM and says GM takes the cake for failures ..
That Silverado wasn’t revving all the way out during your pulls. It might be in some sort of soft limp mode. Could definitely be whatever the check engine light is on for.
Yep, a small displacement, twin-turbo, dual injected,v-6 with VVT is not going to look like your Dad’s V-8. What’s nice about it is that from a technical perspective, Ford already did every performance Mod you could make. The problem is people don’t know how to take care of them, and can’t find people qualified to do it for them. But hey, go ahead and do the next guy some favors by flooring it for the views.
There are hundreds of thousands of Ecoboost engines with 170K, 200k on them zero issues. My GF 2014 F150 ecoboost 166K original miles zero issues. We do the regular recommended maintenance intervals. I have 2 2.7L TT 120K Zero issues. There is nothing wrong with these Gord engines. The problems are the owners that don't follow routine maintenance schedules, or beat the heck out of their cars. You are way off saying they aren't good outside of the 3 year 36K mile range.
First off I want Randy to I know the NEW 2024 Chevrolet Chevelle 70/SS is the most bad car I have seen that's coming! I plan on buying one. As for that Ford Bronco Badlands, i've drove a few, Junk! They are robbing people on that one. We loved the Caddy near the end., clunky noise and all.
So a guy who buys and repairs cars found at AUCTIONS thinks a brand new Badlands Bronco is junk? I worked for a auto auction in Dallas and let me tell you auction vehicles are abused, neglected, forsaken pieces of CRAP and I have many horror stories to prove it. So because the engine bay looks crowded you term it as a "cluster*uck?" really? You must be a GM or Toyota fan.
"I know very little about what I'm showing you guys, but let me tell you why all of these things are bad". "it only got up to 45" then proceeds to show it get up to 60. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand then bait and switch title to cover other vehicles after judgement was passed on 2 passes down a 1/4 mile (?) track. Thanks for the in depth review person who doesn't know anything about the vehicle they are reviewing.
I truly don’t think the 2.7 should have ever existed. If you’ve ever driven a Bronco you know how much of a dog the 2.7 is. Thing is it doesn’t make a lot of sense numbers wise. If people want real off road and road machines then put up big boy money and buy the Bronco Raptor or 392 Wrangler.
The 2.7 is a bad motor. All the 4-cylinders are fine. There is a guy at work with the 2.7L and it is always broken down. Ours is fine though. Ihad a 2012 Mazda had 50k miles and the transmission fluid was black. We had it changed and refilled and I drove it around with no transmission issues and it's still running around the city.

It's actually SHOCKINGLY bad given it's engine. 99% of people who buy these will never see a dirt trail. The mall is where they are all heading. This thing is all about image, and nothing more.
I will happily stick with my trouble free Fusion Hybrid. Great ride, Toyota's hybrid system and tranny, and 60mpg in the city.
@@robertgreenhalge1708I think we have pretty much hit the limit of mpg. You can only do so much with an amount of energy.
The Bronco maybe would be my choice...but I'm afraid of any eco-boost engine FORD has. Their 4 cylinders with ECO-BOOST are junk after 60,000!
I am a Ford guy I'll have to admit looking under the hood of a newer bronco makes me want to vomit
As for the bronco the one button for the rear tires is the trail turn assist which locks either the rear right or rear left tires when turning around in a tight spot on the trails
That Bronco had a serious bunch of off road goodies on it. That funny rear wheel graphic is for the inside rear wheel drag feature to help in off road tight turning. After market mufflers really spice up the exhaust sounds. That was a two door. It has considerably less room than the 4 door.
Nothing but a bunch of frills. I bet it stops running after 50k miles.
Even though the charger needs some work....I'd take that one over the others......love that R/T with the HEMI.....😁
The hood didn't want to close because the engineers knew it would be open all the time.
My JEEP isn't any better lacking the power to go off road.
This is the first video of yours that I've watched. The fact that within the first 7 minutes you said that the Jeep Wrangler drives better than the Bronco tells me I don't need to watch any more of your videos. The Bronco is a very good daily driver that is SO FAR superior to Jeep in that aspect that your comment makes no sense. Bronco SURELY has it's issues, but drivability is not one of them.
Amen !!!
The title is bait and switch…let me guess …this guys sells cars for a living
The hood would not close because the prop rod was not stowed correctly.
Ford Bronco- Rough ride and bad handling is probably contributed to the big tires and the independent suspension. They don’t keep alignment well with the front suspension
They don’t have either of these . They ride amazing and are steady in the highway
I would buy the Silverado and the Charger
bronco and wranglers both overated!!
You want quality. Go MOPAR!
You couldn't pay me to own any Ford product.
The exhaust does sound nice on that Charger👍
I'm glad they changed the look of the bronco. The old one made think of O.J simpson.😊
I got one exactly like that. And love it! Quick and sporty
Too bad Ford decided to make it cheap. They should have over designed it to try and recover their brand. Everyone I've talked to has Hated Fords and many will no longer buy one again. I was a loyal Dodge fan and finally gave up on them. I think we will lose a major player in the next few years.
It amazes me that when Ford released these they had nothing but issues with them.
At the same as the Bronco, they released the Maverick, which has been fantastic thus far. Dealerships can't even get them they sell so fast.
Sometimes they do make a good one. @@robertgreenhalge1708
The people that praise the Bronco or the people that have tried to justify the $50,000 plus price tag that they paid and sometimes 10K over sticker, but most people that come to our service Drive have regret for their choice because it's just not a good daily driver
Wrong
@@ChaoticDave69 I see it on a daily basis and the multiple recalls in the dissatisfaction and you want to tell me I'm wrong? Are u a god believer or trump supporter? Because there's a thing called reality and there's an alternate reality which evidently you live in or must have been sucker enough to buy one
Why is barely no vans at the auction?
The white Sliverado I think is the best bet of the ones you tried. 😊
You should so buy that r t charger😊
U need some Carports for ur cars
I like the way the broncos look. Ones I have seen have horrible paint work though.
She needs fresh trans fluid and new differential fluid.👍
good luck selling the cap off of the silerado i tried to sell mine and ended up just just cutting it up and throwing it in the trash. but im like you i like the truck
I like the bronco
Sorry about your rides Randy 😔 Truly 💯👍
Wasn’t a fan of the Charger before your test drive. I think I’m being swayed. 👍🏻
RANDY Congratulations on 400k! 👍👍👍👍 I love to see your videos from Ethiopia.
Really have no idea about your review on the Bronco. I have a two door WildTrak and it’s like night and day over the ‘21 Rubicon I traded in for it. Have zero issues getting up to speed and cruising at 80mph on the highway with the 2.7 liter. Who cares if there’s no plastic engine cover. How many times are you “looking” at an engine in a newer vehicle?
Hey if you enjoy driving junk that’s your business.
@@AutoAuctionRebuildsyou have no idea wtf your talking about 😂 but keep doing you
He is a complete tool .
The Charger
Can you imagine how much worse the Jeep would be?
Very much so. Jeep's CEO was just recently fired and replaced with...an Italian lol. As bad as Jeep is now, they are only going to get worse.
Nothing wrong with the bronco bonnet you did not know how to close the bonnet. Did you check tire pressure. You bad mouth the Bronco just for clicks for your TH-cam channel. You really don't know much about cars
Good morning Randy. The 2021 Ford Bronco Badlands is a good looking SUV. The 2018 Chevrolet Silverado Texas Edition is a good looking truck
Yes the bronco has it's flaws but I'd own one over a jeep any day of the week! Congrats on 400k I've been watching for a few years now glad to see your channel still growing!!!!
The charger buddy
I would take the Escalade if you think you can repair it. It was probably an Uber lux. The Silverado was probably a little slow with the front bumper and electric winch.
Your knowledge on these vehicles is amazing you have great experience i wish there were mechanics like you down here in WV
I would get the Escalade, for the mileage its in great shape.
The Escalade Has A TON Of Miles On It, And My Best Friend Had A 2018 Escalade And He Always Had A TON Of Repair Problems With Alot Less Miles On It Than This One Randy, I Would Offer 40,000 Dollars At The Most 😀😀😀😀😀 That's The Reason The Ford Dealership Is Not Trying To Sell It On There Lot 😀😀😀😀😀
Save the charger
#replaycrew
The charger looks really good I would bet money on it
I have found the "3G" Vin trucks that made in Mexico seem to have more rear diff play then those compared to the 1G US and 2G Canadian trucks - Mark
Flip the bronco, (after F-END ALIGNMENT),KEEP SILVERADO, PUT HALF CAMO, HALF FOREST GREEN OR METALLIC GREEN ALL OVER. FLIP IT . ALL AMERICAN CRAP ANY WAY.....
I have owned a four door Bronco for a year now. Love it. Never noticed wind giving me any problems? Not fast enough? What, it’s made for off-road. If anyone is interested in a Bronco look at all the content available.
Yes this video is idiotic
I'd take a Rivian R1S over the Bronco any day. Internal Combustion Engine loyalists will bitch about EVs all they want but, EVs and Hydrogen fuel cells are the inevitable future due to technological advancements.
Charger rt
The bronco is way better than any wrangler . I’ve had a 2 dr 2 years with zero problems . They ride 400000% better than any wrangler . At 80 on the highway no sway or what you described . But yet you swoon over a junk Chevy truck lol
I don't care for white cars but that charger was nice 👍
I deliver cars for extra retirement income. I took a new Bronco WildTrak Edition,($65,000.00) from Northeast Ohio to Northern New Jersey last week. Brought back a 2017 Jeep Wrangler Sahara Edition. Stepping out of the Bronco and directly into the Jeep, the difference was night and day. In my opinion, you can't judge a Bronco or a Wrangler if they're two doors. Those vehicles as two doors go down the road bouncing like baby buggies with that short suspension.
The intro screen is impressive?
Really? That screen can be put on any car. Ot is just an epectronic screeen with a picture. Show me a car that gets 300k miles from oil changes alone and three set of tires and three sets of brakes and I will start thinking about owning a Ford. The four runner will do it. The Sequoia will do it and more. The Lexus RX will do it and the Lexus GX and even the Lexus NX will do it.
Also you can do it with a CRV, Pilot, and an Acura MDX and maybe the RDX but it is less likely.
The rest of the SUVs on thearket are suspect except the Mazda CX line which is a bit less on reliability but sportier. The mazda is my choice for a rental and a lease car but with ownership it goes to the Toyota Rav4 for all around good. The CRV is better looking but the Rav4 is just a bit better with reliability but just barely. I may go for the CRV just for looks but probably not.
My next two cars are a turbo honda civic hatchback with a 500hp motor (building it as we speak) and an older Honda Pilot for a daily driver, and then a honda PCX150 scooter for a fun little mess around vehicle to drive around and get 90mpg while having fun. I will have 12k in total into the 3 vehivles when i am done. 7k for the turbo civic, 4k for the older Pilot, and 1k for the PCX150 used.
I have a 2022 Bronco Wildtrak and love it. They are not junk, if you are saying Broncos are junk then Jeeps are Junk also and any other vehicle. The do have issues like most new vehicles.
You obviously haven’t done much research on the bronco before making a video……very little knowledge on specs etc….
Them late model Chevy trucks are garbage ….ugly as hell to begin with……plus a buddy of mine works for GM tech support ….tells me constant horror stories of daily issues GM products have from front to rear …..he worked for Ford prior to GM and says GM takes the cake for failures ..
That Silverado wasn’t revving all the way out during your pulls. It might be in some sort of soft limp mode. Could definitely be whatever the check engine light is on for.
Yep, a small displacement, twin-turbo, dual injected,v-6 with VVT is not going to look like your Dad’s V-8. What’s nice about it is that from a technical perspective, Ford already did every performance Mod you could make.
The problem is people don’t know how to take care of them, and can’t find people qualified to do it for them. But hey, go ahead and do the next guy some favors by flooring it for the views.
There are hundreds of thousands of Ecoboost engines with 170K, 200k on them zero issues. My GF 2014 F150 ecoboost 166K original miles zero issues. We do the regular recommended maintenance intervals. I have 2 2.7L TT 120K Zero issues. There is nothing wrong with these Gord engines. The problems are the owners that don't follow routine maintenance schedules, or beat the heck out of their cars. You are way off saying they aren't good outside of the 3 year 36K mile range.
First off I want Randy to I know the NEW 2024 Chevrolet Chevelle 70/SS is the most bad car I have seen that's coming! I plan on buying one. As for that Ford Bronco Badlands, i've drove a few, Junk! They are robbing people on that one. We loved the Caddy near the end., clunky noise and all.
So a guy who buys and repairs cars found at AUCTIONS thinks a brand new Badlands Bronco is junk?
I worked for a auto auction in Dallas and let me tell you auction vehicles are abused, neglected, forsaken pieces of CRAP and I have many horror stories to prove it. So because the engine bay looks crowded you term it as a "cluster*uck?" really?
You must be a GM or Toyota fan.
"I know very little about what I'm showing you guys, but let me tell you why all of these things are bad".
"it only got up to 45" then proceeds to show it get up to 60.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand then bait and switch title to cover other vehicles after judgement was passed on 2 passes down a 1/4 mile (?) track.
Thanks for the in depth review person who doesn't know anything about the vehicle they are reviewing.
I truly don’t think the 2.7 should have ever existed. If you’ve ever driven a Bronco you know how much of a dog the 2.7 is. Thing is it doesn’t make a lot of sense numbers wise. If people want real off road and road machines then put up big boy money and buy the Bronco Raptor or 392 Wrangler.
The 2.7 is a bad motor. All the 4-cylinders are fine. There is a guy at work with the 2.7L and it is always broken down. Ours is fine though. Ihad a 2012 Mazda had 50k miles and the transmission fluid was black. We had it changed and refilled and I drove it around with no transmission issues and it's still running around the city.
Welcome to the Cadillac sensation...
