The Ford Bronco was a Small Wonder | Revelations with Jason Cammisa | Ep. 07

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 พ.ค. 2021
- The original Bronco was a logic-based response to the Jeep CJ-5, Toyota Land Cruiser, and other 4x4s favored by aging, ex-GIs in the early 1960s who wanted creature comforts. And it was a massive success - in that very small market.
It wasn't until the Big Bronco, modeled after the enormous Chevrolet K5 Blazer 12 years later, that Ford achieved real sales success.
But the small, billygoat Bronco has become a legend because of its incredibly simple good looks, powerful engines, and (compared to its rivals) easy on-road comfort.
History is repeating itself - the 2022 Bronco follows the same recipe, but this time, Ford knows a 4-door will sell in larger volumes. So the new car will be sold in both Big and Little versions. And we suspect it'll be the little, 2-door Bronco that will wind up in videos like this one day.

Cammisa is a hell of a presenter. I assume he also writes the script. That mixed with the top notch videography, these are fantastic to watch!
Thanks! Yep, the research and script is all me. Ton of work but it’s sooo much fun!
You do an excellent job, Jason.
Im impressed by the video and the fact he was humble enough to reply back
@@JasonCammisa thanks for interacting in the comments. Many channels / personalities are above this or have someone do it for them. Means a lot that you do.
@@joshuagibson2520 Eww that's gross! I can't get to them all sometimes, but I try :)
The helmet cam ending in these vids was a great idea. Whoever thought of that needs a raise
Marvelous thing to wait for when soaking up the information prior.
Woohoo more monies for me! (Haha thank you!)
Jason, you're my favorite automotive journalist named after a piece of clothing, just letting you know.
ArthurAlcantara- You must be a king. You haven't got s**t all over you!
Lol thanks?! 😂
I know, right? I can't believe that Juanes even wrote a song about a black @@JasonCammisa but misspelled his name
The only problem with these videos - there ain't enough of them!
Soo true
agreed
They are enough (32 of them as of today) ..
Due to the matter of fact that these videos take a lot of effort to film and upload , Jason tries to put 1 video in revelation series every month or so ...
We need more episodes with Jason please!
Mr T-shirt ftw
Unfortunately he was hit head on with a tractor trailer
@@wileecoyote5749 wait what?
Yes , Jason is the best ...
Revelations is probably the best series I’ve ever watched on TH-cam.
I never realized how small the original bronco was. Those original half cab models especially look really cute I love them.
Everything is bloated
@@JoshuaTootell
For safety reasons yeah, old broncos (especially the convertibles with no rollbar) were probably deathtraps. Thankfully the new bronco(s) look pretty good in a similar way while not being deathtraps, but they're the exception especially for modern trucks.
These.first broncos and blazers ass cabrios .. thats interesting .... ....
and they say that Nissan Muranno Convert was a design dissaster ...
yep...
Miata is a modern, safe car that isn't bloated. Everything (with exception) is oversized for no good reason, just satisfying the desires of oversized Americans who can't drive @@CrazyWeeMonkey
"and you get all bent out of shape if your CarPlay is slow to respond in your Grand Cherokee" lol you got me
This statement is so 2021! Who thought a non-responsive Waze and Spotify can ruin your day.
Edit: ... and have to turn on THE radio 😭.
Had me dead
This is the epitome of that one meme: you just insulted my entire race of people, but yes.
Please explain it ..
Love how they always manage to have a pristine model of the featured car
It's Hagerty - their specialty is insurance for enthusiasts. They probably have a sizeable book of phone numbers that they can use to contact individuals for whom that one car is more precious than a child.
Watch the Subaru video. Car shakes itself apart around corners 😆
That one they featured cost $738K
@@jamiedriscoll9781Yeah, the exterior looked good on that one (no pealing clear coat, not overly faded), but the dash was coming apart and the suspension was shot.
This man should be on TV, Netflix or something. Give him a raise already!
He should host Top Gear UK with Chris Harris!
@@jarrocabanes5226 Not enough room for two mega-egos on one show. Chris Harris has (the, sadly, dismal) Top Gear gig wrapped up.
Thanks! I’m screen-grabbing this and sending it to HR. 😂
I think he ought to stay here. If he got on TV he’d have to deal with executives who have no clue what the public wants. Don’t get me wrong, he deserves a higher paying gig. But TV, both cable and broadcast, stink. It’s funny how TH-camrs are putting out far better content.
@@JasonCammisa He needs a foil, a sidekick, a something. I wonder where we could find someone like that?
Hagerty... Asking TH-cam viewers what they want and stealing subscribers from MotorTrend left and right. Thumbs up for another great video!
Fact.
lol true!
Well done Jason 👍👍👍👍 ..
I am literally addicted to the videos of Revelation Series hosted by Jason Cammisa ...
The quality of this show is immense.
100%
No mention of the Bronco II? The current Bronco for sure is the spiritual successor to the original one, but from a technical point of view, it really is the successor to the Bronco II, since it is based on the Ranger.
The current bronco being sold is based on the escape suv. The one based on the ranger isn't for sale yet and it's been pushed to 2022.
I kept thinking "Bronco II-Am I nothing to you?"
And agreed. The new Bronco is to the new Ranger as Bronco II was to the Ranger of its day.
@@fernarias The Bronco Sport is based on the Escape. The (big) Bronco is on sale and delivering now.
@@fernarias the Bronco sport is based on the Escape, not the normal Bronco
The Bronco Two is the perfect 4X4 in its class....to individuals who actually drive off road, these giant iterations of the new Broncos and every single Jeep, ...these vehicles invariably wind up being , too big, too bulky....as the trails get farther & farther away, the smaller 4X4s are the way to go.
Love the old Broncos. I remember 20-some years ago when I lived in Los Angeles, there was a gas/service station (on La Brea maybe) where the owner collected 60's and 70's Bronco's. He always had a few parked outside the station. Back then they were almost affordable. I used to love going to that gas station to check them out.
I loved both my 70 Bronco and my 88 Bronco II. I can't believe people liked the bigger ones better.
I remember kinda falling in love with one of these when I was an apprentice painter.
One thing I had to do to complete my apprenticeship was completely repaint a car inside and out. The car I was given to paint was a shabby ford bronco. The paint was bland and destroyed but the interior was pristine. The owner wanted it repainted with a two tone paint job. Black on the bottom half and gun metal grey on the top half. After spending many hours making this thing look amazing I kinda fell in love with it.
Rev matching in Ford Bronco. Love it.
I feel like it's a sin watching this series for free 😔
Don’t say that again in the next months, I bet this series blows up.
Dont give them any ideas
What? Are you working in MotorTrend?
@@qasimalsaidi Idek what that is, so the reference is completely lost on me.
@@Trussme96 lmao
I love the fact that after Jason's so perfect presentation, he gives us a taste and a first hand view of how the car drives and handles on that winding free road. Jason you don't know how much of an impact on us you've made by just talking. Thank you for giving me what I've been waiting for my whole life.
It's like knowing every major details about a special car , then diving into the exclusivity of that video , and then finally feeling like you are driving that car yourself ...
Wow. What a beautiful truck. Thanks folks.
agreed
why can't they make them like this anymore. I know you answered it in the video (taste for larger vehicles), but I think we are finally ready for the original Bronco now. Bring them back like the og, slick, simple and small.
That little bronco is in pristine condition!
They planned to release the new bronco on OJ's birthday until they were forced to change the date lol
They shoulda. Really.
killer idea
Well they had to due to COVID
My house nearly burned down day of the chase.
That would have been funny af...
I definitely would have bought one then🤣😂😅
I love the original broncos my dad had a 74 that I helped him restore. My uncle currently has a 70 scout sr2 pick up that I want to restore so bad he won't sell it though unfortunately. That's a dream ride to me
I love Broncos. Im on my 5th one. 74, 77, 78, 84. And currently an 86 fully loaded xlt.
The first Big Bronco is My favorite style of them all.
Same
This the best show on TH-cam since some "face to face" show I loved years ago
Finally someone said it besides me!! The bronco sport is just a escape!
i still think its looks more like an '80s Bronco II than the original Bronco. Too bad he didn't mention that model...
The Bronco Sport is the original 2000-2012 Escape, not the 2013+ Kuga.
hahahahah
I mean, even ford admits that. That doesn't make it a bad product, it's an escape but beefier and more capable. If you want a real bronco, you just get the normal one, not the sport.
@@questioner1596 The Bronco Sport is on the C2 platform (updated C1 Kuga). 2018+ Platform. Not to be confused with the CD2 platform that is the original Escape, which is long gone, and good riddance.
Im on my 5th Bronco. First was a 74, then a 77, 78, 84, and currently an 86. They’ve all been a blast to own.
Ive also owned two Cherokees (1st & 2nd gen) a 90 wrangler (V8 powered and built for hardcore rock crawling) as well as an 86 Scrambler. (Still kicking myself for selling that one). Nothing beats the looks and feel of these classic, and original SUV’s.
We really need to see some AMGs on this series, please.
agreed!
I like all of the Hagerty series but I gotta admit I think this is my favorite.
A good one for sure
My favorite too ..
Every time the new video in the revelation series comes out , I make sure to watch it instantly ...
Well as someone that lived thru that era the real reason why Ford, Jeep & International didn't that many 4X4's was the fact the public was still enthralled with the go fast cars coming out of Detroit and the whole pickup thing didn't really take off until 1968 - 69 with the advent of more stylish and comfortable trucks that women at that time wouldn't object to being seen in. Believe me because I remember some women complaining about riding in those Fords that road so hard they would shake their boobs off.
Seriously 😂
At least when Ford brought back the Bronco, they didn't go full GM Blazer....... NEVER GO FULL BLAZER......
lol
Found Jason through the Benz episode, now I can’t stop watching his videos.
I'll need to find that video!
No words about the Bronco2?
My grandpa had the same exact one, but a 1972 and drove it from Quebec city all the way to Miami... non-stop. He slept for 17 hours straight.
I love these, wish they weren’t too popular they’re prices are completely nuts.
I bought my very first car in 1980, it was a 1974 Ford, Bronco with the 302-ci and towing package. It was the most bulletproof vehicle I have ever owned. It was the very same color as the one at the beginning of this video, my friends called it "Circus-freak Orange" lol
I drove my uncle around in his 74 when I was 12. That was 76, so it was just two years old. But it worked on a farm and stayed dirty alot. I loved driving it.
A friend called my '74 the "Orange Pumpkin". I had it from 1985 to 89. Only reason I sold it was due to military assignment overseas. That and a baby-blue '64 Ford F100 were the only two vehicles that I regret ever selling.
@@ectofix8447 "Orange Pumpkin", Clever moniker! Mine was dubbed 'The Orange Crate.' Did yours have the 302ci as well? I wish I hadn't sold my '74 Bronco too, but life can get in the way of our wants sometimes. Besides, who know they would virtually destroy the U.S. auto industry?!
That's a great looking Bronco! I would take it over the new one any day.
Me too
Same!
Not me….I’ll take the new one any day.
Good Luck
... I WANT BOTH!! CAN I GET BOTH, MOM??
fun fact about the 2nd gen Broncos. they were originally supposed to come out in 1974 or 1975 but a thing called the Fuel Crisis happened, which caused it to get delayed.
I don't know which videos I like more. Revelations or the drag race videos with Jason. They're both stellar.
i freaking love those ending where you just ride the cars for a bit
ive been lucky to experience all 3 versions of the OG Bronco
I'm not even American, and have never actually seen a Bronco on the road, but there is something with the shape that's just so right. I've always loved this car.
My family had a '67 with the straight 6 and a '71 with a 302 V-8. In 4-wheel low, both would climb a tree if you could get the traction. In the San Juan Mountains in southwest Colorado, there are many 4-wheel drive only passes that are extremely narrow with extremely tight switchbacks. So tight that the Bronco had to be backed up to make the turn! I snicker when I see the insanely huge 4X4's today. Ah! 😊
Nice Video Jason. My dad had baby blue "69 Bronco Sport with the 302 / 3 on the tree. I wish we had kept it. I came close to buying another '69 several years back before the prices went crazy... I should have.
Anything Cammisa is worth watching!
Used to own a 1977, wish I still had it today but rust was getting the advantage. While my '73 CJ5 (modified) was better off road, the Bronco (totally stock) was definitely a better daily driver. Still miss it today.
I want a Bronco now. Cool episode. Thanks Hagerty. Now I am thinking of switching to Hagerty to help paying for these videos.
2:38 This statement is so 2021! Who thought a non-responsive Waze and Spotify can ruin your day.
And I have to turn on ... THE radio *gasp! 😭.
my cassette player on my boombox keeps eating my tapes Waaa
Kids today doesn't know what CD changer is. .dang, I feeling ancient 😬🤣
Maybe what I'll say now is controversial, but... Cammisa might be the new Clarkson. Imagine if Cammisa was the host of Top Gear US.
He doesn't burst out hyperboles left and right, isn't over-dramatic, yet he's passionate about the cars the presents, and has a nice tone of voice.
I love how the driving clip is usually an absolute rip through the twisties but this is just a nice gentle cruise 😌
Love how they have old school Warn locking hubs. I remember back in the early 90's when you could by these in great shape for less than $5K. I had High school friend whose dad/family were into first Gens. I bet they had 20 broncos in various conditions. Little did they know they had a burgeoning fortune at hand. I've seen basket case Broncos that go for 10K.
This presenter is amazing. The quality of his delivery, choice of words and love the ways he test drives.
Love my ‘74.🤘
That was the most gentle end driving sequence this show has ever seen.
now thats what you call a presentation ,youve got a fan sir !
My dad bought 2 broncos and a K5 blazer not too long ago and we drove them around in the high desert in SoCal...man those are some fun vehicles. the 4x4 made short work of the soft dirt and mounds over there.
These are amazing! Thank you. Keep up the great work!
What a wonderful birthday present :)
Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday!
Perhaps the most delicious meal served by Ford..should i call her red meat ?...that red paint job is astonishing! Couldn't take my eyes off that beauty...Jason's way of expressing all that is always the icing on the cake! A must applaud to all the members of the team. I did listen to my heart and not to my brain when I bought a Ford car!
Damn I miss my 72 Bronco, that was an entertaining video.
I have binges this entire series. You HAVE to make more!!
My dad bought a new 1966 Bronco in red bottom white top grey vinyl. Always was my fave car while growing up. I was too young to be it’s next owner (dad traded it for a Ford camper van).
Jason , you're a legend man, astonishing reviews, absolutely the best In the US
Love listening to all these! Thank you for all your hard work!
Same!
This series is a gem, don't ever stop making it please.
It really is special and exclusive ...
excellent, wonderful, couldn't be better. Thank you, Jason
Jason, really enjoying the format and informative videos. Fantastic work!
He does an exclusive work of art ...
This show is amazing, Jason presents it in such a fun and interesting way
We need more Jason and that engine has a beautiful hum as its being driven
Cammisa is gifted for sure. I really enjoy his work.
More Jason please!!!!
Cannot discuss any Bronco story without talking about the Bronco II.
Nobody cares about the BII.
Except people who owned them (like me).
@@JoshuaTootell My buddy had one till he flipped it. He wasn’t too impressed. He’s had 5 F-150’s since then, haha.
I had an F150 for about 7 years too (ex wife kept it). Bronco II is no where ad capable as a work truck, I loaded the F150 with a half ton of hay every few weeks. But the F150 was no where close to the off roader the BII was, so your impressions are going to be tempered by your use. My BII was an off roader, my F150 a farm truck @@christopherdouglas8471
Kinda like the Mustang II ...........no one ver mentions that either. the sequel is never as good as the original. Sorry!
I like how we get to ride along at the end of each video, but you have to show the bronco going up the hill, rather than hear it roll down it. Keep up the great videos.
Awesome old footage!
agreed
I remember when our local police department had one of these years ago , it was so modded by Ford it was super quick and honestly was super cool
Keep up the good work Jason!
Ya know, the Larger Broncos sold well but let's not forget the 84-90 Bronco II, it's an awesome little truck that's actually a tad bit smaller than the original Bronco, but it has a fascinating story and the engineering is also kinda cool, I own an 88 B2, easiest vehicle to work on that I own, awesome little 4x4 and an awesome little truck
Subscribed because Jason Cammisa. So happy, hope Hagerty’s gives him every damn thing he needs to make these forever. I don’t even like Jeeps or Broncos, watched it all and learned a thing.
This was a ad and I clicked on it without reading and I was not disappointed
So love and enjoy your videos very much!
Keep up the great work…
Like I found out when I bought my 74 Bronco, if you don't want the frontend to "chatter" when you're on the throttle, in 4 wheel drive, you've outta double up on the shocks, Tom's Bronco sells a fairly quick and easy adapter kit....that stock horsepower number is funny, I'm runnin a Ford 347 stroker that's puttin over 400 at the wheels...😁🤘🏻🇺🇸
Holy smokes that Scout is beautiful.
Great episode. Thx Jason & Hagerty
Agreed
The new Ford Bronco just justified my reason to keep my FJ Cruiser. Thank you ford!
Keep the FJ! An instant classic
That’s also the legendary SUV, but lil more quirkier cuz of the suicide doors and 3 windshield wipers and 4 sun visors.
love the No Doors No Seatbelt look @ 05:40
LOVE these videos - MOAR PLEASE!
Did you mean to say, "MOPAR PLEASE?"
Off road convertibles...nevermind the dust, the view is unbeatable!
Im 40 now, I still prefer this to the new models thats sold today.
Very nice! Thanks alot.
That ending starting at 9:07 was music to my ears..
Very nicely done - more please!
Agreed
I wish the new one was this simplistic.
Love Cammisa! Wonder how he only has 215k views? His presentation style, knowledge and level of professionalism is off the chain. While I like folks such as Doug Demuro, Cammisa is in a different league.
Actually you look at the late 60s alternatives. Jeep, Short wheelbase Landcruiser, Short SWB Patrol, SWB Landrover, Inter Scouts and the Ford looks pretty good.
In the 80s a government radio tech friend of mine gave up on the SWB Landcruiser as it shook his spares to death.
Got a Bronco which did a similar job on tracks [but not off road] but that kept on breaking. Chassis suspension engine. Great when it was going but too often broken.
We never got the first generation Bronco here in Oz, it was a Landrover market that was snuck into by the Japanese as well as Scouts.
These days Landrover are a small part of the market and more likely found in affluent areas. Close to service centres!!
Though the Landcruiser has got so big and fat. And expensive. The Prado is probably as big as an 80 series. And they weigh 2 tonne.
I own a 100 series,, excellent highway manner, comfortable and quiet. BUT go and try a bit of minor offroading on bush tracks and it drags the spare wheel in creek crossings and bellies [well protected] as well.
The old SWB would go far further, in fact most shorties would. BUT a great towcar unlike the SWB stuff
Hagerty and Donut Media are some of the best youtube channels for car enthusiasts. 🙌🏻🙌🏻
These videos are excellent
I really like his presentation and style.
