I just purchased the Area 51 blue bronco. Just like this one. My first true 4x4. Had a jeep liberty though that don’t count!! I can’t wait to go to the bronco off roadeo ! The 2.3 liter is surprisingly nimble engine.
Impressive for only a rear locker……my wife and I have 2 broncos ..hers is a base model 2.7 with 35” tires and mine is an outer banks 2.7 Sasquatch ….the lockers are a definite advantage. Her truck has open diffs and I might install a limited slip rear differential at some point but the friction welded gear to carrier makes in an expensive upgrade. We’d love to do some trail riding like where you are ….fun stuff
@@Shawn-d5n really? Thought I read the front locking diffs were like over $3k? Hmm, interesting……so with the electric locking diff, all ya have to do is wire up an aux switch?
I'm between this exact one and an outerbanks. Leaning towards the outerbanks, but it's tough! I like the black accents on the black diamond and the stock tires IMO are better too
@@optimusoff-road2770 LOL The wipers worked, but this red dirt around here don't play. If we had used the wipers we would have scratched the windshield.... on a two week old vehicle.
I"m seriously thinking to get same one, but I've seem in many forus, diamond hit the belly everywhere at the trail. . It is realky bad we can just jump until 33 inches on this trim. This big truck need those 35 for sure, but 10.000 more , it is not a good deal for an otherbanks
I've taken my stock BD on 32"s and haven't had trouble. Been over some rough and rocky terrain. Only a handful of scrapes. It really matters how you pick your path. If you're bad at it or drive to fast then yeah you're going to have a lot of scrapes. That being sad, having the extra clearance of the sasquatch package would make the trails a little easier.
At minute 4 the rear left is in the air when it is parked at the rut incline and later on during the in cabin recording I don’t see the rear differential locker engaged, did you have to engage the rear diff locker to drive through those ruts?? Thanks
@@feralc We didn't capture the moments on camera from outside, and may have gotten cut from the final edit, but there was some rock climbing sections that needed the lockers because we would frequently lose one wheel contact with the ground.
@@GTGarageTalk thank you, so the rear locker was only needed for rock climbing, I ordered an Outerbanks without lockers and I was worried that maybe I should had, but I am not planning on doing rock climbing, the most would be sand/snow and maybe ruts like the ones you drove through, I was worried that maybe lockers would be needed for those kind of challenges. Thanks
@@feralc the GOAT modes should help you through any challenges you may face. They are basically off-road presets for all the hardware on your particular Bronco. there is one for snow and one for mud/ruts that regulates everything from throttle response to the diffs. You should be fine with what you ordered. Completely capable vehicle. We should have an outer banks for testing sometime in February.
Compared to his old Ram? It sits higher but I don’t know precise measurements. I’ll ask him for a pic. The suspension is great on road. It’s where the Bronco handily beats the Wrangler thanks to the independent front suspension.
Just got my 2 door manual black dimond !
THIS THING KICKS ASS!
it’s so much fun! Makes you confident you could go ANYWHERE !
Nice! Enjoy!!!

That's awesome! I took my 1993 Bronco through there a few months ago. Very fun park.
So much fun!!!
We should be back in February if you wanna bring your bronco for a video cameo
Let's goooooo! A Bronco in the wild & Off-roading! 🙌

Enjoy your Broncos!
It’s only $1300 to buy the front locking differential from the Ford Parts department. That’s what I’m planning for my Black Diamond. 😊
@@Shawn-d5n really? Thought I read the front locking diffs were like over $3k?

@@markcole6475 that’s correct. I am going to order a new switch panel so that I have the missing switch on the dashboard. It will look stock that way.
Looking forward to this!
We just uploaded some shorts to our channel from our day filming.
ordered my Silver 2door manual base in July 2021...built April 1st...being delivered sometime this coming week.
Awesome! Enjoy!!!!!!

@@GTGarageTalk saw this video! It was a good review!
"I felt like I paid for it" 😂😂😂😂 So true lol
He's not wrong.... 😂🤣
Does it have windshield wipers?
🤣
Yes, but we didn’t want to scratch the windshield by smearing that mud across it.
Seriously, who drives around with mud splattered and drying on the windshield? Maybe it didn’t come with wipers and windshield washer fluid lol 🤷🏻♂️🤣
@@optimusoff-road2770 LOL

Have you wished for the front locker yet ?

Get a black Diamond with the Sasquatch package and that should help. We noticed some clearance issues without the Sasquatch.

Did not engage the locker for the ruts. We did at a later point.
@@GTGarageTalk thanks can you please tell me when it was needed??

What gears comes with the black diamond trim ?
Full specs available here:

4.46 Dana m220 rear end
@@J30A4V6er Thanks
Cactus grey??
Yes
nice video, do you regret not having front lockers?
Not really tho he does wish he had disconnect-able stay bar
Which engine did you get.
The 2.7L
We do a comparison with this one against the Outer Banks trim here: th-cam.com/video/xe-jjMzT8B0/w-d-xo.html
Did he have the rear locker on during this trail ?
Yes
How is ride height compared to your truck ?
How bumpy is suspension on road ?
Compared to his old Ram?
It sits higher but I don’t know precise measurements. I’ll ask him for a pic.
The suspension is great on road. It’s where the Bronco handily beats the Wrangler thanks to the independent front suspension.
@@GTGarageTalk thanks. Pic would be great
Why are we still waiting for these? And why are cars so expensive still.
Inflation.
Was that Bronco a standard or Sasquatch?
Not a Sasquatch.
How does yours have the 4A without the Sasquatch?
I guess your Bronco didn't come with windshield wipers? 😉
🤣 did not want to scratch the windshield. This red Texas dirt is serious stuff.
in hindsight I should have ordered the Black Diamond with Sasquatch
I think you’ll love the one you have coming.
I think the wipers are broke
Lol.
We did not want to scratch the windshield with the abrasive dirt.
4 cyl or 6 cylinder? Just wondering if I missed that.
2.7L EcoBoost V6
