What more do you want? A proximity alert when you are near a Starbucks and an on board app the pre-orders when you turn into the drive through? Solid axles and solid non electrical shifting 4x4 driveline with actual flex in the springs. Power brakes and steering a radio and the ability to shed too doors windshield. (Yes I did fold my windshield). Simple... strong... reliable. Gps... I can add that and take it with me... onboard computer ? My cellphone has maps and apps. And I already own a cell phone and it goes in any car.
I loved that color on the Bronco I saw it in person in New Jersey. Ford brought two Broncos to my dealership that I bought two vehicles from and one was in Anti matter blue it's a very cool color. But you have to see it in person to actually give it a judgment call on if you like it or not but I agree bring it back.
The old saying goes (there's always 1) and in this case it's the IFS or Independent Front Suspension, I wish I could understand why people or ford in this case will build something that seems nice or cool or competitive but then ruin it by lacking to ensure it's got a front solid axle and if correct I've already noticed that some broncos or owners have been complaining about the tie-rod ends breaking in the case they end up with your front tires or wheels pointing in opposite directions, as GM trucks (sadly even there HD versions such as the 3500 ) is famous for and in my opinion what pushes me and other people away from buying them , I mean look how much easier or better they are in all things excluding driving on road quality but I'd rather take a bump then a broken tie-rod off road when need be
IFS is better at everything but rock crawling. To help compensate the rear axle of a bronco articulates far more than the rear axle of the wrangler. You can get a more capable Bronco for less money than a wrangler by getting a base with Sasquatch package. This gives you the 35’s and F&R lockers (which also helps reduce IFS issues since a lifted wheel doesn’t lose power for the other). For way cheaper than the only dual locker option from Jeep (Rubicon) If want to rock crawl you can always convert to a solid axle as done here. I own a built JK Jeep and I’ve broken tie rods and axles. It’s not impervious to that. And the amount of money I’ve put into adding lockers, re-gearing axles to handle the bigger tires (Bronco comes with a much beefier final drive ration of 4.7:1 than can get on any wrangler ) etc is way way more than it would have cost to drive a bronco off the lot that could pretty much match my Jeep’s capabilities while having WAAAAY better electronics, entertainment system, interior space, electronic aids, better sway bar disconnect etc etc. If doing a full rock crawler build on a Jeep you swap out both stock axles for Dana 60’s anyway. So long story short I agree with Ford’s choices even as a Jeep owner. You can get the best of both worlds with the bronco or mod it to suit what you need it for.
Is Jordan still struggling to figure out how the '22 dealer allocation formula works? It isn't nearly as complicated as he seems to think. Any dealer whose slice of the Bronco reservations is greater than their slice of overall Ford sales is going to have reservation holders waiting while other dealers will have dealer stock. Ford has reneged on its commitment to deliver reservations before dealer stock. Shouldn't customers be able to pick their dealer based on trust, honesty, communication, and price?
People say what they want but i feel bronco really isint a bronco without a V8 option and without solid front axle. Its sweet they took the 70s syling but they forgot the V8 and solid axle. Its more like a Pony instead of a Bronco in stock form, becomes a bronco when you do things like you did 😆🤘🏼
Until I see a video where a stock jeep wrangler Rubicon can go somewhere that a stock badlands sasquatch bronco can't, I'm going to continue to believe that having a front solid axel is only good for making traveling on the road less enjoyable. And since 90+% of all offroaders are driven on the road 90+% of the time they're running, having front independent suspension sounds like a far better idea. But way to go burning a bunch of money on making a vehicle that costed you more than a Badlands sasquatch and ultimately behaves worse on the road.
Matt, there's no questions a solid from axle is ALWAYS going to equate to greater crawling and off-road capability than an IFS, no exceptions, except possibly high speed desert running. It's really not even a debatable point. What is debatable is whether or not most people will take their rigs to those kinds of limits. Most owners, whether they have a Bronco or Wrangler in the garage, will barely ever take the darn thing off-road, and if they do it's probably just a trail in the woods. For serious wheeling, though, the Jeep will always come out ahead overall due simply to its articulation advantage, and that comes from its solid from axle. That, my friend, you can take to the bank. End of discussion.
Dude 🤦🏻♂️ stop acting like IFS rides sooo much better. It doesn’t. All these manufacturers that put a solid rear and IFS up front and claim it’s so much better are ridiculous. The ride quality barely changes. If you want comfy cushy rides you gotta go fully independent all the way around. If you want simple, functional durability you go solid axel. Ford screwed up so bad in more reasons than one.
@@sinkorswim777 If you'd actually driven a Bronco, you'd know how wrong you are. I've driven the Wrangler and own the Bronco and can tell you that I could tell which was which blindfolded.
I got to say I love the grill too. If the builder is making the graphics available I’d like to see them get that grill copyrighted or whatever you have to do to use the Ford name and sell it as well!
@@JC-cv3up usually between 5-15 in parts and about 10k in labor. But the labor is free if you do it yourself 😃 Also cheaper if the factory sells it that way due to their vendor costs.
@@JC-cv3up If you're switching out the IFS for a solid axle you'd be much better off just buying a Jeep. Solid front axle has really only one advantage, rock crawling. IFS better is better for all other driving, including high speed off-roading and especially on-road driving (i.e. 99.9% of driving).
@@elchucofried5683 haha close, NE Washington. But shop labor isn’t cheap. Every 4x4 shop is different with their costs and stuff. Typically with a straight axle swap, you’re looking at about 100 shop hours. A lot of grinding and planning involved. Especially with a 3 link or 4 link setup.
Pretty bronco but that front axle wasn’t done all too well. That trackbar is too short and the links don’t allow it to travel any good amount. Makes sense why there is only 10 in travel shocks. That being said I do love the retro touches with the low back seats and the sunset decal👍👍
That's how the bronco should have came from the factory with a S.F.A..👍🏿👍🏿I don't understand why manufacturers think I.F.S. is the next best thing to slice bread
Majority of buyers will not need a solid front axle. Most of these cars spend their time on paved roads, and IFS offers better road manners. It is far more comfortable, reliable, and predictable than vehicles with a solid front axle.
Nice build!! There is a lot of negativeity about the swap. I have nothing negative to say about that. My comment is why do all that work to a damn 4 door when a REAL bronco is a 2 door.
Dang was hoping for a better presentation from that guy but ok. Glazed over all the cool details that (let’s be honest) we all clicked on the video to see -.-
Ford messed up. Instead of the bronco sport, they should have made a SFA version, and an IFS version, but basically all on the same platform. The bronco spot is a joke and honestly tarnishes the bronco name. The bronco sport should have been called the Flex 2.0 or something.
That is one wild Bronco ! That grill should be a factory option !
Honestly, the grill, the badges, and the decals, should be factory options. “The throwback edition”
That grill is the only one that should be offered for the new broncos I don’t like any of the other grills at all
If they made this with a front solid axle, I’d buy.
The true answer to the wrangler 😎
By making it more wrangler like.
@@n5sdm True enough....
But the Bronco really does add a different level of luxury that the Wrangler just doesn't have.
Coming from a Wrangler guy. 🤷

Sickest Bronco I've seen yet!
Man why Ford can’t do that straight from factory.
I had a 79 Bronco with the Freewheeling package. It was awesome!
That's a sick $150,000 Bronco you got right there.... 🤤
Love that build! Must be the stripes!haha
I'm absolutely in love with that truck!
Its not a truck but ya
That is so awesome.. love all the throw back touches .. all i need to do is hit the lottery and then I could have one.. lol
That thing is sick AF 👍
I'd like to see one with FIS too, there's more to the Bronco than rock crawling.
Broncos come STANDARD with an Independent Front Suspension. This vehicle is a Solid Axle Swap (SAS) which is 100% aftermarket.
@@hibiki54 I meant Fully Independent Suspension (front & rear)
Death Wobble Included? Off-Road review soon?
The owner knows what they own
Loving that retro grille…
Bring back anti matter blue

Pretty sure that’s on purpose, to mimic the low back style of the early bronco seats.

Throw the Engine in it too lol
