“This base model Bronco I purchased has no options?? What a twist!”
Lol
Thank you! Seriously worthless rant. Try reading about the vehicle first ....Then ordering/ buying. Ya dude...ya got the wrong Bronco for you😂
I’m shocked 😂
lmfao hilarious
If you wanted those features you should've gotten a better trim package. I have all of those things in my Bronco and they are nice. You got the wrong Bronco
Still not worth 50k is the point
@@SecurityLyfe247 Shouldn't have paid 50k for a base SAS Bronco . That was your 1st mistake,lol. My 2023 2dr Badlands 2.7 Auto w/high pkg was 48k after price protection. Absolutely love it
I paid 54k for the Badlands Sasquatch and I would do it again today.
Dude you want to be cheap and then bitch about it. This isn’t a problem with the bronco.
Ford 😂
Buys a base model and dislikes it. Wonder why...
So, all of your complaints are about things you want and could have gotten, but didn’t? Great review bro. I’ll be sure to tune in for more.
exactly ungrateful
This guy is a big baby 😢
No keyless entry? Oh you poor girl.
I mean it's 50k ... That is very embarrassing on Ford's part. 😂 Base or not, that should be standard in 2024.
@@user-fi1xu1pp7p
No car is worth 50,000 dollars, shame on the whole car industry.
Dude you bought a base coming from Euro sports cars, a Platinum, or Raptor with lots of options is crazy. Perhaps you would be happy in a G class or Range Rover? If you wanted more comforts minimum level would be an outer banks. This is a terrible review to compare a base. Base is a base.
Sure, but a used G wagon would be double the cost!
Thanking you for making this much-needed video!
Wow so you go from other top models to a base model and you expect to have all the upgrades? Did you do research before you bought it? The higher trim level you go the more options you get, its the same with any vehicle. And the top comes off its known to have wind noise. Just sell this thing now and go back to your luxury german cars and save us all from having to listen to you complain about a base model not having any options.
A 2010 F150 has more features. I still think I’m going to love the bronco long term- but no, didn’t research much other than I knew I wanted the Sasquatch and didn’t look at it or test drive it before I bought it.
@@Parker_Fuller That's me, buy and go, no interest in test drives. My 2023 White 2-door 2.7L with SAS and fully loaded with everything, is slated for production in June (woohoo). Already have plans to add a number of accessories. Will get the 3 roof panels painted white to slightly reduce solar heat when I explore various SW deserts. Look forward to seeing your upgrades.
@@Parker_Fuller That's wild to me. Not test driving and then complaining about things that you might have found out after test driving lol. What a way to spend money. good luck, it sounds like you enjoy rolling the dice haha
There is a silver lining. With so few options there’s nothing to break. 😂
There’s some truth to that!
That’s why I didn’t got for all the bells and whistles in my jeep gladiator. Less stuff to worry about lol
@@heavyhitta52 cause your on a budget someone who really has money wouldn’t care if it’s going to break
@@cochiloco7974 so if you have money you don’t care if something breaks? Pretty silly if you ask me
@@cochiloco7974 that's a quick way to not having money I suppose lol
Sooooo in a massive news flash, a base model doesn’t have options….weird, since it’s the most basic model they have…
Got a 2023 Black Diamond in all black with mid package for $46k this week. Little under 50k after taxes and I don’t have a single regret. Gas mileage will suck but the Bronco is awesome. Looks bad ass. Drives well and taking off the top makes it a nice ride.
Sounds like a good deal! No Sasquatch package I assume?
@@Parker_Fuller No unfortunately. But I’m in CNY where there’s more mudding and snow adventures than rock crawling. Most dealers only had Sasquatch packages on Outer Banks and up and I didn’t wanna spend $60k. Starts getting too pricy 😂base Sas is nice tho
Well, you certainly could have selected an up-level trim. Base is basic. Not BMW, Audi, Mercedes, VW basic. I ordered mine the way I wanted it, for the convenience items I wanted. The rest I knew I would be changing.
That said, I have thoroughly enjoyed making my Bronco MINE. Yea, it cost a few bucks, but I’m taking a great platform and making it something that is uniquely mine.
Base Bronco should cost about $30-$35k. Not worth $50k. It's a rip off.
Is wind noise better in higher end trims?
Thank you for posting this helpful video
Personally the base with SAS package. It becomes as purest as you can get. I had a ranger XLT with great package but honestly only thing I missed was the key fob 2x to start instead of using the ford app every time.
Speakers work great for me but also remember this is a bronco and it’s not built as a G wagon lol
Love my 2 door 23' Basesquatch! The 2.3 auto is fun and nimble onroad and a blast offroad. Put that thing in sport mode which automatically turns off the auto start / stop. The Ford Pass app is good to remote start and lock and unlock. The 2 door is much cooler than the moredoor Bronco 😂
"One does not simply walk into mordor."
Singles hahah you miss 90% of the fun if you are not sharing with wife and kids.
Keep fooling yourself, you will wake up lonely and no one to complain to but your reflection in the mirror.
Harsh but true.
I opted to stick with a explorer st instead just because I wanted features, comfort and more but I do love the bronco it just wasn't for me long term.
If I never left the pavement, an explorer ST would be awesome.
So you bought something that' supposed to be a tough backwoods truck, but you can't handle anything beyond total 5 star comfort and luxury? Am I the only one that doesn't see the irony? Man, if you had to get out in the mud to engage lockers on your front hubs.... But I guess we had to be tougher back in the day.
Research is important. The word base is clear that you get minimal options. Great thing you can add what you want, but keep in mind you get what you pay for. It’s going to require work, time, and effort to personalize your truck from here. People who purchase base like/want the work.
You bet! I’m excited to make the improvements.
Damn.
I’m currently test driving a ‘23 Big Bend (base model as far as I know?) two-door with the Sasquatch package, it has the keyless entry, remote start, climate control, and I was actually impressed with the sound system personally. It has more options than I need or want. I like it just enough that I’m genuinely a little disappointed about taking it back to pick up my F250 lol.
Big Bend is not base, that’s a big bend lol.
😢stop whining 😢
@@Parker_Fuller the big bend is the entry level package (base). You cant pick a lower level model when you build one online
@@Sick_ridzfor 2024, yes. But in 2022- “base” was also a trim.
I stopped watching after point two. Mine has all the “goodies” yours dosnt. Meaning the problems you are complaining about…are at your own fault…not the vehicles/ford. You decided to spec it like that. Blame yourself. Mine has keyless entry. Proximity sensors. Subwoofer. Full camera + birds eye. I mean on and on. This vehicle can come well equipped. You just botched it up and are now blaming the bronco. Please change the title or fix something because this is like someone not studying for a test, getting an F, and then blaming the teacher. Side note: I came from two brand new full loaded luxes vehicles.
That means you missed the part where I explained that this truck is EXACTLY how I wanted it and I'd buy it all over again. I'll save the money upfront and upgrade what I need for Off-Road use. Gonna be a blast!
cup holders on the front shocks, what more could you want?
Could you do a tutorial on how to permanently turn off things like auto start/stop, and enable different drive modes?
There are a few out there already that show you how with ForScan.
Me sitting in my 2009 subaru
Impreza no AC, needs oils often, no key fob… but amazing in the snow and heated seats 🔥
This is like buying a car with a manual transmission and posting a video on how you wished it shifted itself
Buys a Base Model.... complains it only has base features.... But I will agree with you on the speakers, they are horrible. As for windnoise... it's a convertible. Once you replace your speakers you won't notice it as much haha.
Just missing some crank windows 😂😂
Wow, that is a good looking rig. I like your 2 door over the 4 door Bronco. However the price tag of $50 Grand and up from there with add-ons! just makes me hurt to think of paying that much for a vehicle. Also I would be concerned that the "Ford Warranty" is going to not allow any modifications to the vehicle? So you have to stay tied to the Ford Factory Service system for 3 year regular & 5 year drive-train, to not lose your coverage. Hang in there and make Ford fix any quality issues. Carry On Sir!
Manufactures can only deny claims if the aftermarket parts directly caused the failure. If you wire in your own fog lights, and then the rear diff explodes, they can’t say they won’t cover it. Now if you tune the engine, and the engine fails because of that tune- you won’t be covered by warranty.
Those "problems" don't seem too big. A lot can be fixed after market. Well worth it if you can change things for less then buying a higher trim bronco.
For sure! I’ll be making it “mine” in no time
Agreed... personally I'm thinking he's too 'plush' for bronco or anything off-roadish- too much whining. I have a loaded WildTrak Sasquatch on order...I'm expecting very rugged... If I wanted a plush Mercedes I would have shopped for one.
That's why I went with the 2 door Base manual non Sasquatch. $28,500 before just a few extras like the aux switches modular front bumper roof rails and block heater. Currently sitting on 35" Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT's and looking so good! My biggest 1st world complaints are yes the stereo is garbage so I put in a 12" sub and amp problem solved there. And the back up camera is extremely low resolution. My 2013 Nissan Rogue had a better back up camera. But that's not a deal breaker by any means. Had mine a year and still love it.
Still looks great I’m sure! I definitely wanted the gear ratio and lockers that come with the Sasquatch.
@Parker Fuller Yeah I definitely missed out on the lockers. But I only really go off roading a couple times a year. I really wanted manual though and at the time manual was unavailable with the Sasquatch package.
@@mawage666 and I have a feeling ford is gonna stop offering it again. I don’t think it was that popular to get a manual Sasquatch, though I did see afew 22 7 speed SAS trucks during my search.
@Toasty absolutely love the Baja Boss'. You have the best trim for sure best bang for the buck.
You get what you pay for
I"ve had my 2023 Big Bend for around a month now and I'm also annoyed by having to get out the key fob and press the button to unlock the vehicle. I had a 2021 Bronco Sport Big Bend which had the auto unlock feature and also adaptive cruise control which my full size Bronco now doesn't have. There is some noticeable wind noise at highway speed, but overall I'm happy with my Bronco.
They are great trucks- I’d buy mine all over again. Like everything though, they have their quirks.
That's interesting. I have a 23 Big Bend 4door with only the mid package and I don't need the key to open the door (except in my pocket or on me). Works great. OF course what is crazy is the 23s were supposed to come with some sort of sub package and mine was deleted with a $250 delete. I think the amp is in there but it is a fake box! LOL. Also, $25 credit for the navigation delete. Looks like it would cost me about $1500 to add it in so that I could pay Ford a subscription. I loved it on my 2020 Colorado ZR2 Bison Diesel but I can use the Google Map via the phone wireless connected to the truck (an improvement over my 20 ZR2 which had to be usb c wired)
@@robertnotman6884 I do LOVE the wireless apple car play- not much need for the Nav upgrade with that. Of course sat nav works without cell service- but I usually download maps ahead of time if I’m gonna be remote
Same story here.
@@robertnotman6884 mid package gives you the keyless entry.
This is a clear demonstration of YOUR own errors, NOT a genuine problem with the vehicle.
For $100 you can add the key code... it is the best thing for a base Sasquatch... it may be slightly more to have dealer add on (as they have to do it) since it wasn't factory added... but should be about $150 at most, and worth the money. But have no clue how you paid $50K... my base Sasquatch two door was only $38k and msrp has gone up but it is still less than $45K unless you are counting taxes and title etc etc. Stereo sucks I just added new speakers like everyone else... but the only upgrade was to lux which was a much great price tag. And the biggest thing I missed with the base is the heated seats even the mid package Big Bend had heated seats... right now my son is driving it because i refuse to give it up since we got such a great deal!!!
I added the key code pad on the lux outerbanks too and that has keyless entry so it is worth it even if you have the keyless entry... I don't have it on the current car I am driving and I often go out at work to get things from my car and have to return to get my keys... it sucks... I loved that key pad!!!! Ford also lets you use your phone if you don't get the key pad, but I recommend the key pad.
I’ll definitely look into the key pad- I do like the option to lock my keys inside sometimes.
Thank you for reinforcing my decision to buy the fully equipped bronco Sport...I'm sorry for your sacrifice...
I still think you should get a full size bronco
Bronco sport ? It’s not even the same planet
Congrats on the new car. My sister has a jeep and I've always wanted one,but I can't deal with a car that leaks air.
Jeeps are garbage
Just received delivery last night of a 2022 Wildtrak with only 7200k miles on it. I've been grinning all day and could barely sleep last night. I hope it wasn't a 52K$ mistake.
I think you should of researched before you bought it bro, I love mine and about to order a 2024 this summer and trade this one in
It’s exactly the platform I need- can’t wait to start modifying it
@@Parker_Fuller oh ok well that makes sense then to get the base
The VERY first thing I do when buying a new vehicle with autostart/stop is to buy a kit to automatically shut that thing off! It should come out of the factory with the settings you last used, and not default to ON.
Loved that my Porsche and BMWs always saved the last used settings.
I agree, i hate the stop/start bull chit!
Whats start and stop?? Like uy shuts the motor off at lights?
Thats right, totally useless and wearing out your starter to boot
The starter is engineered to be used in that way, so there's no problem there. But yes, auto start-stop is dumb and annoying. @@jeffreyhall838
Buys a base model and proceeds to complain that its basic 😂
I remember buying regular chicken sandwich last week and was so disappointed it didn’t come with fries and a drink nor was it spicy so I feel you.
Finally, someone who understands.
I bought a car a year and a half ago. The day I drove it home, I thought I really like this thing, I wish I would have gotten a nicer trim package. I just put it up for sale and will get something equipped better. It happens. My brother and sister have the 360 cameras. I have to have that now, lol
I’ve got a badlands Sasquatch and after 10k miles I still absolutely adore it. I’m sorry you had a different experience with yours but mine has literally been my dream car.
Also the reason why the speakers are crappy in the bronco is because they are waterproof.
Don’t get the wrong impression, I’m at almost 30k now and it has been great for me- there’s just some more features I would have liked to see for the price.
LOL Sounds like this guy wants a King Ranch / Platinum trim level feel with a XL base model.
KR bronco would be siiiiiick.
Perhaps a Wild Track with the LUX package would have suited you better.
Sounds pricey
Funny thing everyone cried about the toyota fj being a box and here we are years later making the bronco after the look of that a box but now its loved 😂
You are comparing a base Bronco to Raptor's, Bmw's, Porsche etc. Of course it's not going to compare........
But you’d think a 2022 would have more features than a 10 year older TDI Passat. My 17 BMW X5, BMW 14 328d, 16 Porsche Macan S, 16 Mercedes C450 AMG, and others all cost about 20k less than this truck.
@@Parker_Fuller Apples and oranges man. You’re paying for one of the most off-road capable vehicles on the market, not something that’s feature rich. It’s like complaining about the vehicles you mentioned not having front/rear lockers, or not being able to take the doors off. There’s a trade off. Not to mention the cost of those German cars over their lifetime is a lot higher.
@@zurielcastillo5071these are good points but he has a point still. The most laughable thing to me is the lack of any vanity lights or dome lighting at all. 50K and no fucking light on your face mirror, wtf! 😂 The Bronco is dark as shit. Like special ops, killing Bin Laden dark black. I legit bought a flash light to permanently keep in the thing haha.
Good thing you weren’t around to drive the original 60’s to 80’s Broncos
Definitely!
Its how companies get you to pay more, they exclude little features here and there that you wish you had and will eventually want you to fork over WAY MORE money to have them. Features that they could easily have had but shmucks will fall for it, that's why new cars have soo many more trims, so you keep looking at the fancier and fancier one
Unless you're rich, spending 50k on a car is a mistake regardless of what it is
Did you build this on the Ford site and have to wait for it to be built? Because Ford dosen't have the parts to make a sasquatch package last time I checked. And 50k did they change you more that the sticker?
Nope- just went to the dealer and picked it up.
@@Parker_Fuller did you pay more than sticker because I priced a base model sasquatch with a manual on the Ford site at 38k
@@shadowswordairsofteast check out the description on my newest video for the details on that. Yes, I paid over MSRP.
My 2019 22 thousand Hyundai Veloster had heated seats leather keyless entry and an infinity sound system. My base bronco at 40 plus thousand had seatbelts
Got my 2023 Basesquatch in February with 2.7 auto, roof rails and modular bumper for 43K
Nice! MSRP on this $43,195 also.
That's why I have a '96 FSB. That's the real one.
We have purchased mostly basic level vehicles and a couple of very nicely equipped ones too. With that said, we prefer the more basic models over the ones with all the bells and whistles for numerous reasons. It sounds like you didn’t do your research and maybe are a bit over-indulged with wanted creature comforts. To each their own I guess. We have had electric hybrids, top of line trucks and a nice BMW SUV. We were glad to get rid of all of them due to high cost of ownership, expensive maintenance and to insure. We are more happy with less.
Build your own Bronco. You can still get the base package and add a higher trim level. These things can come optioned to the teeth if your willing to pay over 60K. I dont know why you wait until you signed the paperwork to decide the options werent what you wanted lol. Thats why theres a test drive. I think people are nuts buying these right off the lot. I havent seen one yet that didnt have a market adjustment added to it. Just order it and customize what engine, trans, trim level you want. 4 Months to build
I wish I had the manual climate knobs. I hate auto it changes the fan and ac when I don’t want it.
After a year with the truck, I don't dislike the manual climate as much as I thought I would.
“After owning a lot of German vehicles” and Porsche being one, buys a base bronco and cries about it being too base. He had platinum f150 and a raptor which are a lot more than a base bronco. What a baby. Gen z baby.
I have a 2021 Black Diamond SAS 4dr 2.7 and tow pkg only paid $51k with the upgraded Rapid Red paint and navigation. How did a 2dr Base cost that much?
$47,000 used- (43,000 new) + tax gets it to $49,780
@Parker Fuller I got lucky then and got mine new at MSRP at the dealership which was $51 plus $1,530 sales tax since I lived in a different state.
Keyless entry is not standard on German cars, it is an extra.
How far off road did you take your 2012 vw passat?
0. lol, but several thousand miles in my 2014 BMW 328d
Why would you get the base model if you wanted the nice features?
“I clearly have enough money…I just didn’t know how to read or do a test drive. I’m a big dummy.”
Yeah def should have got at the very least big bend with mid package.
Leaves car running and gets out said no one from NJ ever. Not an issue here😂
How many miles does it have on it now and how much do you want to get out from under it?
Haha I’m not upside down on this 😂😂.
So you made a complaint video on a Bronco you purchased as a way to say “I wanted a decked out Wildtrak but couldn’t afford one”
Keyless entry is risky - especially offroad. To easy to lose key or have person with key go off in different vehicle and leave you stranded.
What part of “base” is hard to understand?
I have keyless entry on my 2009 rav4
I miss my 2014 Tacoma 4x4. None of that dual climate control or remote anything BS. The 4WD was awesome too
Have a jeep that’s over 20 years old. Just bought a ‘24 bronco and it broke down at 20 miles. It had 8 miles on it when I got it and I drove it a whole 12. It’s a cheap novelty imo.
What went wrong?
Do they still have the issue with the engines failing?
A small small small percentage of 2.7L owners have experienced cam phaser issues which can lead to engine failure if not addressed.
Did u not test drive the car prior to ordering? Made the same very mistake on my first car, big regret. Will always test drive before buying, extremely important.
Nope. No regrets!
with everything you don't like about it why did you not take it for a test drive and check out the features before signing on the dotted line?
Because of all the other things I DO like about it.
Thanks for making this video now I know not to buy the base model
It's fine for me, but a black diamond with the mid package would solve 90% of these problems.
Look dude u bought a Bronco. It's supposed to be an off road SUV. Personally, I've found that the more "extras " on a vehicle the more that breaks.
Agree. The more simple an off road vehicle, the better.
You bet! And I bet mine will see more dirt than 90% of others. It’s exactly what I wanted.
can't complain about sound system if you got the base model.
You had Porsches and BMW's but then get a base model bronco?
Sure did.
Started driving don't forget Complaining, found it odd you could hear wind noise over your critiques
buys a base vehicle with absolutely no options. "I hate that my base vehicle with no options has no options". Cool story man
It sounds like you didn’t do your research first before buying the vehicle. Its always advisable to make a checklist of the things that are essential/very important to you before making a large investment.
It’s not a large investment. It’s a car…
I personally can’t stand automatic climate control. I also can’t stand keyless entry. I guess I’m old-school. As far as the bronco itself, I personally really like it a lot. I’ve never driven one and would like to sometime. But the more important question I have for you has nothing to do with the truck itself. Is the two-way radio mounted on your center console a VHF 2M transceiver?
Well now..I own a 2010 Police Interceptor I bought two years ago that has none of those options either. Nor can I drive it in the snow. And I actually have to use the key to unlock the thing.
But it goes 130 miles an hour, can jump a 6” curb at 35 mph with no suspension damage, handles like a Ferrari, and cost $8,400.
Each to their own I guess…
I LOVED my old P71. Can’t beat a cheap Vic!
50k for base? Why?
$43k new sticker, paid $47k used, + tax is $49,780
You paid way too much. $51,270 MSRP for a 2023 2.7 OBX adv 4x4 with high package, tow, and aux switches. Paid $40,251. Tax/lic was $2,900 - So $43k all in.
@@mpeugeot how did you pay 10k under MSRP?
@@Parker_Fuller a perfect storm. Ordered in September 2021 through Granger when they were offering $2k under invoice. Price protection from 2021 through 2023, then Ford offered $2500 if you removed the lux package. It really was a perfect storm, made easier by already having a 2021 Bronco (which I got for $800 under MSRP).
@@mpeugeot that makes more sense in your case. But as I keep telling people, I didn’t want to wait and order. So I just picked this up off the lot.
Roof needs replacing…transmission needs replacing….. driveshaft (front) replaced
2.3 M/T soft top 4 door …. Waiting on parts 7 months now
Its a good looking truck. Not leaving jeep, but Ford did a great job on the Bronco
Didn't you take it for a test drive? If you don't like these things you mentioned, why did you purchase the vehicle?
Buys a base model off road vehicle for 50k. “Why isn’t it like my bmw?” 😂……
Well the money you saved you can use to upgrade it.
You bet! That's the plan!
How do you spend 50k on a vehicle and not research to know the short comings and whether you can live with it or not? If you can spend 50k then you can afford the 3k more for the lux package.
I can live with it. This is the spec I wanted.
Im not sure why this person paints his complaints as if they are blanket problems across all broncos. Yes he repeatedly says he has a base package. But he hardly touches on the fact that nearly all the creature comforts that he is missing the Bronco offers as an option.
It has more to do with features for price. Not that the base is lacking them. Thats why it’s a base after all.
At that price, yes. I got a fully loaded badlands under 10k miles for 50k at that price you got that stock. Yeesh, glad I waited.
Values have definitely dropped as availability becomes better for sure. I’d recommend people to go the route you did also.
Just shaking my head.
Showed this vid to my wife...
She just shook her head.

Enough to look like a goofball to 99% of the people that watched it? Yeah, if you say so.
I was eating my plain hamburger and was mad because it didn’t have any toppings on it so you may not like your hamburger.
No vent window 🎉
Did you not test drive the vehicle before purchasing it? 🤔
I did not. No need to.
this review is hilarious
My 2018 Buick Encore the cheapest Buick in the lineup has touchless remote unlocking and auto locking capabilities along with push button start. All things that my 2023 Ford Maverick hybrid XLT lack. So I know how the guy in the video feels.
Finally someone understands!
I have no a.c not cruise control heat only works on defrost and ii aint complaining love my Cherokee
You bought the base model but expect it to have all the features.
You did the drive it?
Are you asking if I test drove it? No. I did not.
