@Wynn H Roman is annoying as hell. He takes over literally every video he's in, rudely interrupting everybody. Only thing he said in this video is about a base Bronco with the Sasquatch package and cheap body on frame 4x4's in general, like the Samurai, Jimmy, and Geo Tracker stuff.
An answer to one of your questions. I was seriously considering a Rubicon, but wanted to wait until the Bronco came out. After seeing the release, I put my reservation in for a Badlands. I admit to having been a Ford guy for a long time. I now run an F350 diesel. Before that was an F150 with the 3.5 L Ecoboost, Sold it at 125,000. Not one issue with it. Pulled a travel trailer for 30,000 of those miles. Amazing engine! I changed oil as the computer told me, always full synthetic. Changed plugs at 80,000. Disk rotors and pads at 90000. I was on my second set of tires on that truck, yes, that’s right my second set. My wife did not like buying a Jeep for the reliability and other issues with it. Besides, she thought it looked like a brick going down the road, sorry Jeep owners, just one woman’s opinion....When I showed her the Bronco, all she wanted to know was when we were going to get it. When I told her, she said, “that long?” And I said, just like having a baby, honey...Do you want to redecorate the garage? Repaint? BTW, I’ve had 35” tires before, so I am ordering mine with 33”. All due respect to all those with 35” tires, but I plan to drive mine 90% plus on the road and those 35” sometimes felt like driving on square tires. You guys do put out some great work. I really enjoy your shows. An electric 4x4? Seriously,mare they going to put in charging stations in Moab?
I want to give a thumbs up for Tommy but damm I can’t because all the other guy wanted to do was be butthurt the he didn’t get invited to Detroit ☹️. Also what are you even talking about, for the most part the people who are excited about the cyber truck are not people who are excited for the Bronco or a V8 Jeep. I get where your coming from I’m a huge Toyota fan but man stop being such a bummer.
Exactly! He's been salty ever since. Chill my man it happens get over it and move forward. Please don't become a Ford hater over this one situation, everyone got denied access to the event not just you. I'm sure once the country gets a handle on this covid thing you'll be invited to an event from Ford.
@@zelenizub2036 well shit, I thought the manual was an option but I found an article saying it'll be auto only...for now. If they (Ford) get enough people interested in the manual option then they'll offer it, from what I read.
Love your vids guys but Roman, you gotta let it go man. You got caught with your hand too deep in the cookie jar but it’s time. It does take away from the enjoyment of watching TFL videos/podcasts. Cheers!
Totally agree. The disgust in your voice is very clear. Even your son had a hard time carrying the conversation on because you pushed statements at him without listening. Please keep it upbeat for all of us. Btw just reserved a base and will get the Sasquatch. Wishing you guys nothing but the best. Hopefully ford will loosen up on you. We all need some grace. Best,

Roman I am a huge fan HOWEVER this new “Get off my lawn” Roman is hard to watch. Where is the objective and informative Roman at? Tommy, spot on as usual.
Yeah but they want 30000 for the swap. Those guys are absolute tool bags.... they don’t even have the vehicle but they’re willing to charge 30 THOUSAND for a coyote in a Bronco
Matthew Huszarik What company is doing a 7.3 swap into a bronco? Plus I don’t think that the swap would be easy, they’d probably need a different transmission.
@@toulee8051 - the blazer is still very "practical"... the better phrase would be- "The blazer in not off road practical" otherwise the blazer is pretty good, just not a traditional "Blazer"( if you will)...
Roman's time of the month? or has he just forgotten his antidepressants? He sounded really bummed. Well done Tommy for surviving a sea of negativity and bring home the bacon, good job :)
The problem is Roman is constantly living in a highly romanticized version of the past and can't properly assess things based on today's reality. That's a terrible quality in a journalist.
Roman needs to stay behind the camera and just worry about the production side of things. His on air personality is lacking. I much prefer anyone of the other guys.
@@conduit242 A 7k offroad vehicle new? It will be the size of a smart car wont be able to go over anything bigger than a brick and would crack like an egg shell if it rolled over or got in a minor fender bender at 20 mph
The mirrors thing is by state. My state requires only one mirror that can see 200ft behind the vehicle, so as long as we have a rearview, we don't have to have the door mirrors.
My friend bought a brand new 2019 Rubicon off the lot last fall. She just traded it in after the 3rd dealer visit still couldn't fix the transfer case. She had a nice looking 4WD high range only Jeep. I don't think they're anywhere near taking reliability seriously.
I agree with Tommy and think this will be a good vehicle. I want to see it put through the paces as well before I have my opinion. I do think that Roman needs to let others do comparisons on Ford until he can get over the “shade” tossed their way by Ford. The more I see him speak about Ford “now with lackluster”, I am losing my trust in his words as an unbiased reviewer. Time to get over it, and move on....or pass the torch so we can get real reviews, have real discussions. If he was able to go to the premier, he would be giddy like a kid in the candy store. It’s getting a little old. Having said that, it was still un cool of Ford to not invite you all to the event.
This is what happens when you listen to your customers. This may have been the first time a automaker has done that. This is the FIRST vehicle in my life that is BETTER than the concept! The only thing that would make this better is if it was a Toyota.
A lot of the discussion/arguing seemed to be praising Jeep and bashing Bronco. Just felt like you guys were already pissed at each other and then started the podcast.
For those complaining of no V8, please test drive the 2.7 EcoBoost. This motor is so under-rated. Does it lack that awesome V8 sound..? Yes it does. Does it lack power..? Not one bit. This motor will light up the rear tires on a low speed roll in the F150. And that’s without any tune. With a tune, these things are putting down big power.
Only people that can’t afford it complains or make a lot of excuses I’m complaining but I was hoping for the 2.7 engine to be standard and get the 3.0 optional but that’s just me
@@tt55k I can totally see a raptor version of the Bronco in the near future if it sells. And it will sell! But you know they're going to be going for 65k to 80k or more especially with dealer mark ups in the first year.
Ford nailed the Bronco's looks. Regardless of finding a Base with Sasquatch on the lot I will be surprised if you find any on a lot that are not pre-sold for a long time.
Salty much?! You were uninvited from a virtual event. Time to get over it Roman and remember how to act like a professional. This channel is to good to be so petty.
@@jackharper4911 They benefit from each other, without the vehicles this channel doesn't exist. TFL gets views, clicks, and ad revenue because products like the Bronco attract clicks
I like the fact that they were honest and said they were uninvited. Makes me trust them more because they’re less likely to read some preapproved press release.
Tommy is correct about all this stuff. The % of people trading in their current rigs for the new bronco is not going to be very high. The fanatics for Jeep will stay loyal. The 4Runner loyalists won't give up the versatility that it has for a play thing like the Bronco.
This video was a little harder to watch. TFL please don’t lose focus on vehicle reviews. We understand that you guys were uninvited from Ford and it was unfair, but please don’t let it affect your reviews. We all enjoy watching these videos and trust in your opinions.
You get a Wrangler with a 392 and come up against a big rock. You give a foot load of throttle and what will break first since all Jeep did is stick in a big engine and not completely upgraded the entire drive line. My first guess is the U joint breaks or drive shaft twists off. You fix that at your local drive line shop and make it stronger. So the next rock the axle breaks. You get the idea. Unless the Jeep is changing from motor mounts to rear axle, you have a vehicle with too much torque and that will break you with repairs because FCA won't warranty it because they classify it as owner abuse. ( Hell Cat with exploding differential all over again )
The Bronco is pretty epic. Ford did their homework. I love my Wrangler but Jeep has quite a choir ahead of them to catch up. Competition is great for us. I don’t plan on trading the Wrangler for anything for sometime.
@@paulj9821 Exactly, Jeep + massive aftermarket, solid front axle, just that walks all over the new Bronco. The new Bronco IS cool, but only die hard Ford fans are going to choose it over the utility of the Wrangler.
@@jaromor8808 No. Roman wants an off roader with this and that feature for 7 grand. Car companies bad because car companies greedy. Labor unions are never greedy when they want 7% pay increase on top of the 60 something dollars per hour they already make or this new benefit and that increased benefit and pension and so on and so on. Governments are never greedy when this tax is increased and that new tax is instituted and this mandate is instituted and that mandate is increased. Or when this new regulation is instituted or that regulation is tightened. None of that is ever greedy. But when a car company cannot sell him what he wants for 7 grand it's only ever because of the greed of car companies. Maybe Roman and his communist buddies can set up their own car company and show how it's done. Or more likely he will complain over and over again that car companies won't break local and federal laws in giving him what he wants while also supporting all of the regulation and taxes that has brought about the current situation. Oh and by the way. There are no broncos on dealer lots anywhere yet because none of them have been built yet but Roman knows for certain that you can't buy a base sasquatch bronco. Because the voices in his head told him so.
He seemed like he got up on the wrong side of the bed or was suffering from hormonal issues. ;-) It seems odd to argue for a V8 on the one hand and complain about the low gas mileage with the existing smaller engines on the other. You can't have it both ways.
The RTI you listed showed Wrangler best. I don't get all the effort to brag up the Toyota, it doesn't compete in this class with any specs, especially lockers, disconnects, tires, optional equipment, act. Good all round SUV but certainly not in the same league. It seems that the Bronco brought the goods, very cool. Now its up to the dealers to order the right ones and keep the prices in line. I think your right that you won't find the base with the Sasquatch option on any lots for a long time.
Interesting because I’ve driven dozens of company fleet trucks (non turbo) and never had any issues, in fact they were considered some of the best quality trucks. Gm not so much, everything from rust to poor overall quality engine issues etc... Turbo charging could be the issue, we didn’t carry them at the time.
@behexen250 it's hard to know what satistics you're talking about but one satistic for sure is that they're more F-150s than anything else out there they built 900,000 in 2019. Saying that you have to know that every manufacturer has problems and when you have so many of them even if it's a small percentage it ends up looking like a lot if you're in service. So satistically speaking you could be full of s*** just saying I have to see the numbers for major repairs against the other manufacturers instead of a small sampling that you might be referring to.
Roman is officially transitioning into the "Get off my lawn" phase of life. I do completely agree that manufacturers in general can make less expensive vehicles, but especially accounting for the sharp drop off in sales all brands have suffered, It is unlikely that they are going to pull any margin out of them if they can't achieve the volumes they were accustomed to. Yes, I wish the Bronco was sub 20k too, but it will take a manufacturer to be truly innovative to accomplish something like that. Other than Tesla, no manufacturers have really changed the method of manufacturing around to even marginally reduce costs to customer, in fact most have complicated the process. Mechanical hydroforming processes, Plasma hardening, and the use of composite steel construction don't make things cheaper. Before, it was stamped, welded, and heat treated. The shapes were simple. Now, safety concerns have definitely encouraged a lot of the new processes, but they aren't the only processes to achieve the same result. In fact, they may be the most expensive. There are composite polymers that are just as strong as med grade aluminums, and there are several castable grades of iron that outclass the dubious "high strength steels" for both strength and ductility. Even those that are less prone to corrosion. There are a lot of palms to grease in the automotive supplier world, so streamlining may not happen without an upstart new manufacturer forcing the issue.
I ford releases a NA V8 and i4 non turbo to reduce complexity of a turbo and its cooling to increase reliability even more to give the wrangler a run for its money.
The RTI numbers you said did not match with what was on screen. The numbers on screen indicated that the wrangler beat it handily in the RTI department. Either 2wd or 4wd with the sway bar disconnect. That said, base model with the Sasquatch package all day. I would love to see that package in person.
the DAD is very correct.....if bronco will sell now, they will surely sell a lot.....but many months down the road, the interest may mellow down.....and it will give the competitors a lot of time to come up with something
The advantage of Ford not releasing the Bronco until April means that this gives people plenty of time to order these cars with the 200 options available so I see plenty of Base models with Sasquatch options ordered!
Jeep is well known since WWII. My 2019 2 door Wrangler loaded was 33k, 17 mpg in town 27 on the hwy, it is the 3.6L with the 8 speed auto. Will the Bronco hold its resale like Jeep and have all the after market parts like Jeep?
Who cares if you won’t find the exact configuration you want sitting on the lot ? The fact that you can order one is all the matters . I have bought 5 new ford trucks since 2007 and I factory ordered all but 1 of them . With as many options in power train and configurations and options there is, its pretty much impossible to find the exact truck you’d want sitting on a lot .
And the V8 Wrangler will be what? 65K and 5% of the actual production? No thanks. Besides, pushing a heavy V8 nose up a mountain doesn’t make the most sense when you have better options. This Bronco is a grand slam and in an environment where we all just want to get the hell outta dodge, the timing for great buzz is spot on.
"You're never going to find a base model Sasquatch." What do you want for breakfast dad? "You're never going to find a base model Sasquatch." Ok dad, but what about breakfast? "Never, you understand me, NEVER". Okay dad, so no breakfast? "Don't you understand? No Base. Model. Sasquatch."
I love how you two love doing what you do together. My dad had a stroke years back and now he is pretty crazy, but before that id love to have had a relationship like what you guys have w/ him. Your both lucky guys. :) Great show love the Bronco, and im not a SUV guy im a sedan guy. First time ive been legit excited for a SUV and im having thoughts of owning one. Thats crazy talk.
THANK YOU ROMAN, you are one of rare automotive journalists that has not forgot that people buy cars, not ads. thank you for advocating cheaper, functional cars, non-blackmail model where I must take packages instead of ordering my own vehicle. I dont want expensive gadgets, I want a functional vehicle, LET US BUY IT WITH NO CAVEATS, NO HIDDEN FEES, NO PACKAGES.
Which you can order! But I see what he's saying. Dealers don't get those on the lot for people to test drive and see. They only get mid and high level models on the lots.
@@sladetheblade1684 Jeep dealers (at least around here) carry tons of Wrangler Sports, and I think he's wrong about them not ordering with Sasquatch package. I think almost every Bronco on the lots will have Sasquatch, as that's going to be a huge draw for people looking to switch from non-Rubicon Wranglers.
@@mechmat12345 I don't think you'll see very many base models. I hope so. Also I think the Sports you are seeing are Sport S's which are not the bottom trim level. I really hope to see a bunch of Base models with Sasquatch for under 40k. That would be awesome. How many wranglers can you find for under 40K? I rarely see them on lots.
The old man is pooh poohing the Bronco right out of the gate. The son kept trying to bring his dad to reality but was constantly being shot down. Not a fair comparison at all. You can’t buy a Rubicon or a 4 runner for the same price as an equally equipped Bronco. In fact you can’t even get a Base vehicle equipped Jeep or Toyota with the same options as the Base Bronco. The Sasquatch optioned Bronco has more power, better clearance, longer suspension travel, bigger tires, bigger and stronger wheels, etc, etc.
FYI, the starting prices posted for the Bronco were including destination fees and the Wrangler prices were without destination fees. The Bronco 2 door is only $200 more than the Wrangler, the 4D is about $1500 more but the base model 4 door comes in automatic only which is a $1500-$2200 upgrade on the Wrangler.
Look I’m not the average viewer, but this episode turned my away. Generally this channel is informative, today the older gentleman was just argumentative. His complaint about the price was an old man yelling “ in my day,...”; I know because I bought my 1st car 30 years ago as well. A fully loaded Suzuki was NOT $7000! Somewhere closer to $14000-15500 ( my cousin sold them,) a base model ford escort in 1990, with employee discount , still ran $9000 The first edition bronco, though $60000, has all available packages and a few accessories that aren’t available, yet he just ignores this.
I hope I have calmed down long enough to write this. I have always watched TFL from the very first time I saw the special edition with the Tatra car from Prague to Pebble Beach and have grown to like the show but most importantly all the guys. However recently it seems to me that Roman is letting the success of the channel get to his head and could come across as somewhat arrogant and dismissive dependent on the topic being discussed. I believe this is not the case but appearance is a factor to consider here. Over those years it seems that Andre and Tomi have grown into their relevant niche within the company while Nathan and Roman are starting to be rather unwatchable grumpy old men. Guys, you don't need these gimmicks or segways as the program became successful without these. Please Roman take a deep breath and accept that TFL is not bigger than Ford and if you breached their protocols then accept the penalty and hope to be let back in the club, it is not a wise thing to fight every small battle but lose the war. Tommy has shown he has grown into a very competent and capable reviewer and he needs the support of his dad and not a distracting one, do not try to outdo him be proud that you have taught him well and accept when he has made a more solid point than you. I will still continue to watch the videos and look forward to seeing Roman and the team but hope he takes all the feedback in good spirit as we all want to see you and the Boys reviewing Fords and others from the inside and not from the outside looking in. :)
Bronco starts at 28.5 and is 30 with destination charge. I ended up putting in a reservation for one. I would be looking for a base plus the Sasquatch package, but rumor on the street is Sasquatch requires auto. So, I would just get base plus lockers if that’s the case. I understand that finding this type of car at the dealer is hard, but that’s why you can order one... just plan ahead!
I could possibly see getting the lockers separately from the Sasquatch package, maybe... However, I doubt that you'll be able to get the low transfer case and low axle ratios outside of the Sasquatch in the Base trim. Rumor is that you have to get the $$$ Badlands trim to get a manual Rubicon competitor... Horrid move by Ford.
David Scarpa wrangler only sells 5% in 2 door. Ford is estimating the same. It’s a good price but I doubt many people will buy the 2 door after Initial rush.
@@clownfish7776 No, it wasn't that. It was that someone inside Ford leaked photos of the vehicle unclad, sent them to TFL, and they showed those pictures in a video. Ford's problem is they have a leak inside but they took it out on TFL.
What they don’t mention is, if you get the Sasquatch package you have to get the 10 speed auto.... sooooo, I would get the base model, add the Sasquatch package and upgrade to the 2.7 twin turbo and add the upgrades bumpers and call it a day.
The new Bronco looks amazing. Capable and good looking. A couple of unanswered questions for me: 1. Will it be comfortable for tall people? (Not the case for the wrangler and the FJ). 2. Strengths for an expedition overlanding setup? Say what you want about the FJ, but you got Toyota reliability, a naturally aspirated large displacement V6 that is less prone to overheating in the desert, and the floor to ceiling cargo space that is workable for 2 people when you delete the rear seats. I hope this will be the case for the bronco. 3. Will it be noisy like a wrangler in terms of road noise when you have the top and doors on?
I love the dynamic of father and son. These guys are great. Love all the details. Love Ford and would love a Bronco. However not until the prices drop(no dealer markup). Already have a 4wd F150 so im good for now. Anyway love TFL. Keep up the great work guys.
It's been since 1996 Ford bronco was discontinued I'm glad to see the Ford bronco return and with a refresh designed that will compete with Jeep Wrangler and Toyota RAV4 and Nissan rogue and Chevy Blazer
Big fan of the channel... I posted the below message to the FORD FACEBOOK page. I would encourage all of the other fans of your site to do the same. Keep up the great work. I always look forward to watching and learning from your expertise... Ford, love you and your products. Have owned multiple explores, an expedition, and a 2011 Shelby gt500. I also have a cue for the new Bronco. I’m writing to ask that you please release TFLCAR from your media blockade. They are the definitive OFF ROAD youtube channel. What they did by showing pics is not different than what anyone else did. I want to be able to access information from them as I belive them to be the best source for accurate information on trucks and off road vehicles. Please partner with them going forward. As one of the millions of Ford fans that is NOT a fan of Fiat products, I believe it will only enhance the sales of your vehicles.
The SALT is real in this review. Also, mentioning this in every interview doesn't do much to tell Ford "I've learned my lesson, you can trust me again."
@@malifestro7596 So what. If Ford doesn't like something he does, including farting, Ford doesn't have to talk with him, interact with him, or even acknowledge his existence. Life is all about choices, and all choices have consequences.
@@malifestro7596 You're absolutely right that they weren't bound by a contract. That also means Ford can do whatever they want in relation to 3rd party outlets leaking information about upcoming product.
I'm a former Jeep owner. Had a 1988 2 door, sold it to a buddy at 100,000 miles. Was going to get another Jeep, but then the Broncos premiered. I just reserved a 2 door Bronco with rock rails, bash plates, metal front & back end and a wash out the Bronco set up. Pretty cool! Not the basic, that's too basic for me. I went with the Black Diamond. Thought that choice had the most to it for off roading.
Obviously old man dad is a massive Jeep fanboy and it is clouding his judgement. Also, his Rivian and cyber truck argument was hilarious, they're both phantom-ware right now that are years away from actually being delivered.

@@conormccarthy4409 ... major flaws?! The vehicle doesn't hit showroom floors until Spring! LOL! Please, name the major flaws... Roman didn't name anything other than appearing to spew a bias attitude that does not seem very relevant.

The mirrors thing is by state. My state requires only one mirror that can see 200ft behind the vehicle, so as long as we have a rearview, we don't have to have the door mirrors.
Most states actually require driver mirror.
The. The other chunk require 2+ mirrors.
i Hope jEEP takes reliability issues seriously now. They have been ripping customers.
Good luck with that, the peeps will continue to drink the koolaide, much like Polaris and Harley owners.
I've had 3 jeeps, one with over 135 k. Never any major issues.
My friend bought a brand new 2019 Rubicon off the lot last fall. She just traded it in after the 3rd dealer visit still couldn't fix the transfer case. She had a nice looking 4WD high range only Jeep.
I don't think they're anywhere near taking reliability seriously.
@@bobcat5412wow with just one anecdotal case jeeps reliability is debunked! Good job
@@1148bucknasty Seriously? Just stating the facts of my experiences with the brand. Nothing more. Obviously everyone is entitled to their opinions.
Romans body language said I DON'T WANT TO BE HERE.
TFL when doing Ford reviews give Roman the day off. Roman is still in pain and it shows.
I agree with Tommy and think this will be a good vehicle. I want to see it put through the paces as well before I have my opinion. I do think that Roman needs to let others do comparisons on Ford until he can get over the “shade” tossed their way by Ford. The more I see him speak about Ford “now with lackluster”, I am losing my trust in his words as an unbiased reviewer. Time to get over it, and move on....or pass the torch so we can get real reviews, have real discussions. If he was able to go to the premier, he would be giddy like a kid in the candy store. It’s getting a little old. Having said that, it was still un cool of Ford to not invite you all to the event.
Roman " I want a 2020 off road vehicle at 1970 price, is that asking too much?" lol
🤣😂
I feel like they had an argument right before filming this.
Eric Swells yaa, Dad still miffed at Ford for turning him down..
This is what happens when you listen to your customers. This may have been the first time a automaker has done that. This is the FIRST vehicle in my life that is BETTER than the concept! The only thing that would make this better is if it was a Toyota.
That would make it so bad if it was a Toyota. Wouldn't even be hyped about it
A Toyota Bronco would be cooler ? Do you even lift bro ?
A lot of the discussion/arguing seemed to be praising Jeep and bashing Bronco. Just felt like you guys were already pissed at each other and then started the podcast.
The old man is bitter about ford booting them from the launch and it shows.
@@UnsightedADV they leaked things they shouldn't have
Maybe because Jeep is great and ford is garbage

For those complaining of no V8, please test drive the 2.7 EcoBoost. This motor is so under-rated. Does it lack that awesome V8 sound..? Yes it does. Does it lack power..? Not one bit. This motor will light up the rear tires on a low speed roll in the F150. And that’s without any tune. With a tune, these things are putting down big power.
100% agree. The 2.7 Ecoboost is nasty. Just wait till they add a handheld tuner on it. Probably looking at close to 400hp and massive torque.
I agree with u bro
Only people that can’t afford it complains or make a lot of excuses
I’m complaining but I was hoping for the 2.7 engine to be standard and get the 3.0 optional but that’s just me
@@tt55k I can totally see a raptor version of the Bronco in the near future if it sells. And it will sell! But you know they're going to be going for 65k to 80k or more especially with dealer mark ups in the first year.
I'm happy with 2.3 as long as i can get sasquatch package with manual transmission and heated seats (preferred vinyl) on basic truck.
When Roman pontificates it is intolerable. This is the case where the kid is smarter and more sensible than the old man.
Roman wants a tin can that can climb a mountain and he wants to pay 2005 market price. I think what he really wants is a time machine.
The 2-door starts at $28,500, so the $29,995 does actually include destination already
don't know why these people just make up crap.
Both Jeep and bronco are 29995 after delivery
The Jeep is still about $200 under comparing base to base
Michael King there isn’t a single Wrangler near me for $30k
David, where ya at? There are 2 within 150 miles of me that are under $30k
I know 6 people that are going to buy a Bronco, me included. I know zero that give a dang about the Cyber truck.
Ford nailed the Bronco's looks. Regardless of finding a Base with Sasquatch on the lot I will be surprised if you find any on a lot that are not pre-sold for a long time.
Tommy is the future of this channel.
Salty much?! You were uninvited from a virtual event. Time to get over it Roman and remember how to act like a professional. This channel is to good to be so petty.
@@jackharper4911 They benefit from each other, without the vehicles this channel doesn't exist. TFL gets views, clicks, and ad revenue because products like the Bronco attract clicks
It's probably because they gave ford so many good reviews just to get dumped by them.
I like the fact that they were honest and said they were uninvited. Makes me trust them more because they’re less likely to read some preapproved press release.
They were uninvited because of the Ranger mileage review debacle, I believe.
@@jackharper4911 lmfao man you sound like a pussy crying right along with Roman
Tommy is correct about all this stuff. The % of people trading in their current rigs for the new bronco is not going to be very high. The fanatics for Jeep will stay loyal. The 4Runner loyalists won't give up the versatility that it has for a play thing like the Bronco.
Stop complaining Roman..get your caffeine or something. Ford has put out a kick ass product.
This video was a little harder to watch. TFL please don’t lose focus on vehicle reviews. We understand that you guys were uninvited from Ford and it was unfair, but please don’t let it affect your reviews. We all enjoy watching these videos and trust in your opinions.

I don't think Roman particularly likes Ford or Ford products. At least that's how it comes across in various videos.
He’s still in his feelings because Ford punished them for publishing those spy photos. He’ll be alright.
Well, he was a Raptor owner at some point. Can't dislike Ford that much.
@@matthewgaines10 I guess, but he kinda crapped on the GT500 too. It's hemi this, hemi that all the time.

Well Ford is garbage sooo
that jeep concept will be a concept for another 5 yrs
exactly it’s been a concept since 2011. Nothing new
You get a Wrangler with a 392 and come up against a big rock. You give a foot load of throttle and what will break first since all Jeep did is stick in a big engine and not completely upgraded the entire drive line. My first guess is the U joint breaks or drive shaft twists off. You fix that at your local drive line shop and make it stronger. So the next rock the axle breaks. You get the idea. Unless the Jeep is changing from motor mounts to rear axle, you have a vehicle with too much torque and that will break you with repairs because FCA won't warranty it because they classify it as owner abuse. ( Hell Cat with exploding differential all over again )
well said, but its a "Jeep thing" you won't understand
The Bronco is pretty epic. Ford did their homework. I love my Wrangler but Jeep has quite a choir ahead of them to catch up. Competition is great for us. I don’t plan on trading the Wrangler for anything for sometime.
Catch up to what?
@@paulj9821 Exactly, Jeep + massive aftermarket, solid front axle, just that walks all over the new Bronco. The new Bronco IS cool, but only die hard Ford fans are going to choose it over the utility of the Wrangler.
So much salt from Roman. Like be objective dude!
You mean "be a teenage fanboy Roman"...?
@@jaromor8808 No. Roman wants an off roader with this and that feature for 7 grand. Car companies bad because car companies greedy. Labor unions are never greedy when they want 7% pay increase on top of the 60 something dollars per hour they already make or this new benefit and that increased benefit and pension and so on and so on. Governments are never greedy when this tax is increased and that new tax is instituted and this mandate is instituted and that mandate is increased. Or when this new regulation is instituted or that regulation is tightened. None of that is ever greedy. But when a car company cannot sell him what he wants for 7 grand it's only ever because of the greed of car companies. Maybe Roman and his communist buddies can set up their own car company and show how it's done. Or more likely he will complain over and over again that car companies won't break local and federal laws in giving him what he wants while also supporting all of the regulation and taxes that has brought about the current situation.
Oh and by the way. There are no broncos on dealer lots anywhere yet because none of them have been built yet but Roman knows for certain that you can't buy a base sasquatch bronco. Because the voices in his head told him so.
This guy is so old fast.
I think you’re right. He’s staring to sound like grandpa Simpson here.
He seemed like he got up on the wrong side of the bed or was suffering from hormonal issues. ;-) It seems odd to argue for a V8 on the one hand and complain about the low gas mileage with the existing smaller engines on the other. You can't have it both ways.
The RTI you listed showed Wrangler best. I don't get all the effort to brag up the Toyota, it doesn't compete in this class with any specs, especially lockers, disconnects, tires, optional equipment, act. Good all round SUV but certainly not in the same league. It seems that the Bronco brought the goods, very cool. Now its up to the dealers to order the right ones and keep the prices in line. I think your right that you won't find the base with the Sasquatch option on any lots for a long time.
that's because they are totally bias towards toyota
They say Bronco has more travel yet we see over and over tires coming off the ground in their own video.
It’s Bronco for me, Ford knows how to build trucks.
behexen250 interesting, what do they do to your trucks?
behexen250 which motor in particular, truck motor? Which one?
Interesting because I’ve driven dozens of company fleet trucks (non turbo) and never had any issues, in fact they were considered some of the best quality trucks. Gm not so much, everything from rust to poor overall quality engine issues etc... Turbo charging could be the issue, we didn’t carry them at the time.
@behexen250 here's some advice, find another job. I know exactly what engineers do I do the same thing, deal with it.
@behexen250 it's hard to know what satistics you're talking about but one satistic for sure is that they're more F-150s than anything else out there they built 900,000 in 2019. Saying that you have to know that every manufacturer has problems and when you have so many of them even if it's a small percentage it ends up looking like a lot if you're in service. So satistically speaking you could be full of s*** just saying I have to see the numbers for major repairs against the other manufacturers instead of a small sampling that you might be referring to.
Roman is officially transitioning into the "Get off my lawn" phase of life. I do completely agree that manufacturers in general can make less expensive vehicles, but especially accounting for the sharp drop off in sales all brands have suffered, It is unlikely that they are going to pull any margin out of them if they can't achieve the volumes they were accustomed to. Yes, I wish the Bronco was sub 20k too, but it will take a manufacturer to be truly innovative to accomplish something like that. Other than Tesla, no manufacturers have really changed the method of manufacturing around to even marginally reduce costs to customer, in fact most have complicated the process. Mechanical hydroforming processes, Plasma hardening, and the use of composite steel construction don't make things cheaper. Before, it was stamped, welded, and heat treated. The shapes were simple. Now, safety concerns have definitely encouraged a lot of the new processes, but they aren't the only processes to achieve the same result. In fact, they may be the most expensive. There are composite polymers that are just as strong as med grade aluminums, and there are several castable grades of iron that outclass the dubious "high strength steels" for both strength and ductility. Even those that are less prone to corrosion. There are a lot of palms to grease in the automotive supplier world, so streamlining may not happen without an upstart new manufacturer forcing the issue.
I ford releases a NA V8 and i4 non turbo to reduce complexity of a turbo and its cooling to increase reliability even more to give the wrangler a run for its money.
I’m ordering base with Sasquatch package
With Roman’s attitude I’ll be surprised if Ford or any other manufacturers invite them to anything.
Time for Roman to take a break. Stay positive Tommy. I think Ford hit it out of the park with the Bronco. Looking forward seeing one in person.
Geez! How did jeeps/4wds even function without all this EXPENSIVE tech??
The RTI numbers you said did not match with what was on screen. The numbers on screen indicated that the wrangler beat it handily in the RTI department. Either 2wd or 4wd with the sway bar disconnect. That said, base model with the Sasquatch package all day. I would love to see that package in person.
We get it Roman. You got uninvited to the launch. I’m getting tired of him constantly whining about it. You can feel the tension in this video.
the DAD is very correct.....if bronco will sell now, they will surely sell a lot.....but many months down the road, the interest may mellow down.....and it will give the competitors a lot of time to come up with something
The advantage of Ford not releasing the Bronco until April means that this gives people plenty of time to order these cars with the 200 options available so I see plenty of Base models with Sasquatch options ordered!
Roman, dude you need...a Snicker's 😉
I think toyota should bring fj back plus removable tops
With a removable top?
Toyota should go back to making 4Runners from the 80's with two doors and the removable top.
@@davidcox2197 yeah mn👌
@@happileeeverafter8686 agreed👌 they used to sell soft tops lc73 i think in middle east 2012 year ish

Man I agree with you can’t get a basic base Defender 50,00.00!! The sales guy looked at me and said ,”you’ll be waiting until next year! “
Jeep is well known since WWII. My 2019 2 door Wrangler loaded was 33k, 17 mpg in town 27 on the hwy, it is the 3.6L with the 8 speed auto. Will the Bronco
hold its resale like Jeep and have all the after market parts like Jeep?
Who cares if you won’t find the exact configuration you want sitting on the lot ? The fact that you can order one is all the matters .
I have bought 5 new ford trucks since 2007 and I factory ordered all but 1 of them . With as many options in power train and configurations and options there is, its pretty much impossible to find the exact truck you’d want sitting on a lot .
"Nobody cares about fuel economy whose buying a bronco." Bingo. Nobody who puts 35's or bigger cares about 0-60. The Cybertruck? lol. Nerds.
@Mm Well the people building them are nerds - of course. The people buying them are likewise nerds. $30k? Hrm. Mine is more like $90-120k.
The related question is: Will the Bronco chassis mods filter over to the Ranger platform for a U.S. spec Ranger Raptor?
Yes. As soon as next year
@@devinbender8428 Yes! Supercab with a tall topper and I'm down. Camp anywhere the truck will take you, no tent required.
When Roman retirees, this channel will be soooo much better and informative!
And the V8 Wrangler will be what? 65K and 5% of the actual production? No thanks. Besides, pushing a heavy V8 nose up a mountain doesn’t make the most sense when you have better options. This Bronco is a grand slam and in an environment where we all just want to get the hell outta dodge, the timing for great buzz is spot on.
"You're never going to find a base model Sasquatch." What do you want for breakfast dad? "You're never going to find a base model Sasquatch." Ok dad, but what about breakfast? "Never, you understand me, NEVER". Okay dad, so no breakfast? "Don't you understand? No Base. Model. Sasquatch."
I love how you two love doing what you do together. My dad had a stroke years back and now he is pretty crazy, but before that id love to have had a relationship like what you guys have w/ him. Your both lucky guys. :) Great show love the Bronco, and im not a SUV guy im a sedan guy. First time ive been legit excited for a SUV and im having thoughts of owning one. Thats crazy talk.
I found a 2019 2 door wrangler, rubicon, manual for $36k. Super rare to find a base rubicon with a manual. I love it.
time for Ram to bring back the Ramcharger and see what they can do
THANK YOU ROMAN, you are one of rare automotive journalists that has not forgot that people buy cars, not ads. thank you for advocating cheaper, functional cars, non-blackmail model where I must take packages instead of ordering my own vehicle. I dont want expensive gadgets, I want a functional vehicle, LET US BUY IT WITH NO CAVEATS, NO HIDDEN FEES, NO PACKAGES.
All that price and equipment are why I've owned my TJ for a decade and a half.
Ok.
Two door base model cost $28,500 plus destination cost $1495.00 = $29,995

It's entertaining to see Roman being salty.

Negative Nancy. This was tough to watch lol.
I agree with Roman make it simple and have all the off road gear
Which you can order! But I see what he's saying. Dealers don't get those on the lot for people to test drive and see. They only get mid and high level models on the lots.
It's simple... just order it!
@@sladetheblade1684 Jeep dealers (at least around here) carry tons of Wrangler Sports, and I think he's wrong about them not ordering with Sasquatch package. I think almost every Bronco on the lots will have Sasquatch, as that's going to be a huge draw for people looking to switch from non-Rubicon Wranglers.
@@mechmat12345 I don't think you'll see very many base models. I hope so. Also I think the Sports you are seeing are Sport S's which are not the bottom trim level. I really hope to see a bunch of Base models with Sasquatch for under 40k. That would be awesome. How many wranglers can you find for under 40K? I rarely see them on lots.
What exactly are those cut-out doors for? Maybe it allows the twins or clams to breath on those hot summer days.
Miso Honey - Better visibility of boulders underneath when rock crawling with the doors on.
The old man is pooh poohing the Bronco right out of the gate. The son kept trying to bring his dad to reality but was constantly being shot down. Not a fair comparison at all. You can’t buy a Rubicon or a 4 runner for the same price as an equally equipped Bronco. In fact you can’t even get a Base vehicle equipped Jeep or Toyota with the same options as the Base Bronco. The Sasquatch optioned Bronco has more power, better clearance, longer suspension travel, bigger tires, bigger and stronger wheels, etc, etc.
FYI, the starting prices posted for the Bronco were including destination fees and the Wrangler prices were without destination fees. The Bronco 2 door is only $200 more than the Wrangler, the 4D is about $1500 more but the base model 4 door comes in automatic only which is a $1500-$2200 upgrade on the Wrangler.
Look I’m not the average viewer, but this episode turned my away. Generally this channel is informative, today the older gentleman was just argumentative. His complaint about the price was an old man yelling “ in my day,...”; I know because I bought my 1st car 30 years ago as well. A fully loaded Suzuki was NOT $7000! Somewhere closer to $14000-15500 ( my cousin sold them,) a base model ford escort in 1990, with employee discount , still ran $9000
The first edition bronco, though $60000, has all available packages and a few accessories that aren’t available, yet he just ignores this.
This was the most informative vid I've seen on the upcoming Bronco, great job.
I hope I have calmed down long enough to write this. I have always watched TFL from the very first time I saw the special edition with the Tatra car from Prague to Pebble Beach and have grown to like the show but most importantly all the guys. However recently it seems to me that Roman is letting the success of the channel get to his head and could come across as somewhat arrogant and dismissive dependent on the topic being discussed. I believe this is not the case but appearance is a factor to consider here.
Over those years it seems that Andre and Tomi have grown into their relevant niche within the company while Nathan and Roman are starting to be rather unwatchable grumpy old men.
Guys, you don't need these gimmicks or segways as the program became successful without these. Please Roman take a deep breath and accept that TFL is not bigger than Ford and if you breached their protocols then accept the penalty and hope to be let back in the club, it is not a wise thing to fight every small battle but lose the war.
Tommy has shown he has grown into a very competent and capable reviewer and he needs the support of his dad and not a distracting one, do not try to outdo him be proud that you have taught him well and accept when he has made a more solid point than you.
I will still continue to watch the videos and look forward to seeing Roman and the team but hope he takes all the feedback in good spirit as we all want to see you and the Boys reviewing Fords and others from the inside and not from the outside looking in. :)
Bronco starts at 28.5 and is 30 with destination charge. I ended up putting in a reservation for one. I would be looking for a base plus the Sasquatch package, but rumor on the street is Sasquatch requires auto. So, I would just get base plus lockers if that’s the case. I understand that finding this type of car at the dealer is hard, but that’s why you can order one... just plan ahead!
I could possibly see getting the lockers separately from the Sasquatch package, maybe... However, I doubt that you'll be able to get the low transfer case and low axle ratios outside of the Sasquatch in the Base trim. Rumor is that you have to get the $$$ Badlands trim to get a manual Rubicon competitor... Horrid move by Ford.
No sasquatch no lockers on base😞
That 28.5 is 2 door?
David Scarpa wrangler only sells 5% in 2 door. Ford is estimating the same. It’s a good price but I doubt many people will buy the 2 door after Initial rush.
David Scarpa haha indeed.
This is becoming hard to watch. Roman is still salty and acting very unprofessional. get over it. you made a mistake. apologize and move on.
Tommy did a good job though.
Omar Jumylee - Yeah, but it’s too bad that he had to bail his old man out. Typically, it’s the other way around. 😂
What did he do?
@@luket6405 He spotted a new Ford prototype truck on the road and followed it, putting it on video (I think that's why Ford was upset)
@@clownfish7776 No, it wasn't that. It was that someone inside Ford leaked photos of the vehicle unclad, sent them to TFL, and they showed those pictures in a video. Ford's problem is they have a leak inside but they took it out on TFL.
What they don’t mention is, if you get the Sasquatch package you have to get the 10 speed auto.... sooooo, I would get the base model, add the Sasquatch package and upgrade to the 2.7 twin turbo and add the upgrades bumpers and call it a day.
The new Bronco looks amazing. Capable and good looking.
A couple of unanswered questions for me:
1. Will it be comfortable for tall people? (Not the case for the wrangler and the FJ).
2. Strengths for an expedition overlanding setup?
Say what you want about the FJ, but you got Toyota reliability, a naturally aspirated large displacement V6 that is less prone to overheating in the desert, and the floor to ceiling cargo space that is workable for 2 people when you delete the rear seats. I hope this will be the case for the bronco.
3. Will it be noisy like a wrangler in terms of road noise when you have the top and doors on?
Great questions!!

They can't. Because TFL released information that they weren't supposed to. So now they can't pre review it
It's been since 1996 Ford bronco was discontinued I'm glad to see the Ford bronco return and with a refresh designed that will compete with Jeep Wrangler and Toyota RAV4 and Nissan rogue and Chevy Blazer
I wouldn’t even consider Chevy blazer in this segment. But I get what your saying. Namesakes coming back.
Big fan of the channel... I posted the below message to the FORD FACEBOOK page. I would encourage all of the other fans of your site to do the same.
Keep up the great work. I always look forward to watching and learning from your expertise...
Ford, love you and your products. Have owned multiple explores, an expedition, and a 2011 Shelby gt500. I also have a cue for the new Bronco.
I’m writing to ask that you please release TFLCAR from your media blockade. They are the definitive OFF ROAD youtube channel. What they did by showing pics is not different than what anyone else did. I want to be able to access information from them as I belive them to be the best source for accurate information on trucks and off road vehicles.
Please partner with them going forward. As one of the millions of Ford fans that is NOT a fan of Fiat products, I believe it will only enhance the sales of your vehicles.
My dad had two of those IH scouts. Those were a lot of fun.
I think the 5.7 in the Jeep is a lot more realistic. (and less expensive).
I already reserved a base model. And I'm going to try to get it with the Sasquatch package. I'll let you how it goes.
No longer able to listen to Roman, obviously so pissed at Ford. The guy needs to take a long vacation😁
Great video. Ignore these whiners, Roman. You have a great point in the unavailability of any stripped down new off-roader for under $25,000.
The SALT is real in this review. Also, mentioning this in every interview doesn't do much to tell Ford "I've learned my lesson, you can trust me again."
TFL isn't bound by a NDA. They did nothing wrong.
@@malifestro7596 So what. If Ford doesn't like something he does, including farting, Ford doesn't have to talk with him, interact with him, or even acknowledge his existence. Life is all about choices, and all choices have consequences.
@@malifestro7596 You're absolutely right that they weren't bound by a contract. That also means Ford can do whatever they want in relation to 3rd party outlets leaking information about upcoming product.
@Wynn H I disagree.
I'm a former Jeep owner. Had a 1988 2 door, sold it to a buddy at 100,000 miles. Was going to get another Jeep, but then the Broncos premiered. I just reserved a 2 door Bronco with rock rails, bash plates, metal front & back end and a wash out the Bronco set up. Pretty cool! Not the basic, that's too basic for me. I went with the Black Diamond. Thought that choice had the most to it for off roading.
Put my reservation down on the Bronco... shoooeeeee forget what these other cats are talking about. I'm buying this bronco. BET I DO! HA HA!!
Obviously old man dad is a massive Jeep fanboy and it is clouding his judgement. Also, his Rivian and cyber truck argument was hilarious, they're both phantom-ware right now that are years away from actually being delivered.
