I didn't realize that trail complexity had changed a bit, back in the day "trailsoffroad" had that as a 8. Either way, 7 or 8, that's right up there with the toughest in Colorado. I think the only one harder is Carnage Canyon out on the west slope. This was a ton of fun filming with you guys, I am legit impressed with the Bronco and can't wait to test it out myself on all the trails here in Colorado. Hopefully I have one by next summer. we'll see!! GREAT VIDEO!!
Hahaha. I'm sure they wouldn't have even dared with the defender up there. As they mentioned, Land Rover did not set it up with the right tire for heavy off-roading, let alone technical crawling.
Hey you should watch Matt's off-road recovery where he literally drives a Prius for probably more than a mile or two over some technical obstacles. A lot of rocks were moved ... Lol... Amazing though!
1st thanks for actually off-roading a bronco, and directly comparing it to its competitors. Second it’s really awesome to see a father and son bond over something like this. These are things that last a life time. Enjoy the moments they are too few and finite. Good work guys.
That was really an amazing comment Roman and made sure it was aired. Tommy is maturing into a great guy letting go of the hot temper from earlier videos.
That trail showed up as visibly difficult on camera. truly a testament to how hard it actually was knowing the camera always makes a obstacle look much easier than it is. great video guys and awesome driving Tommy.
Haha, it's so irritating when you want to send a picture of a tough obstacle you spent time overcoming. When you take the pic it looks like a highway sidewalk.
I think Ford did a great job on the Bronco. Won't make me trade or sell my old JK for one, though. Kudos to you guys for actually putting it on the trail as it was designed. Well done.
That trail was pretty sketchy in some places. You could see how intense Tommy was in some areas. It shows you that Ford didn't play around when they made the Bronco. As it has been mentioned, they had the Wrangler in their sights.
Independent suspension. The Bronco will never match the Wrangler. Completely different category. That being said....anything that adds competition and lowers the price of wranglers is a good thing.
@@pwulm5285 na that's just wrong. The future is in independent suspension hence jeeps being one of the only solid axel SUVs left. There's quite a few modified broncos on 40s with independent suspension clapping heavily modified jeeps. The Bronco has it's place. Aftermarket manufacturers are going and are creating long travel IFS set ups. People that never owned or wheeled hard in ifs setups talk the most crap. Owned both I'll take IFS any day. Check out Bronc Buster he's mainly on TikTok. His build is great, all in with the bronco and mods 70k. Clapping 100k jeeps 🤣.
@@pwulm5285 As far as ultimate modifications go you're right. However, the overwhelming majority of those who will actually take their Jeeps and Broncos off road will never come close to running a trail that difficult. So whether it's stock for stock or modified versus modified, the differences would only be seen at such extremes that only a tiny fraction of buyers will ever see them. Truth is, a modded Bronco on 37's and a modded Wrangler on 37's will do far more difficult and dangerous terrain than anyone I know has ever done. I'd say you'd almost have to try a buggy line to find the winner.
@@camooo101 the future of the Wrangler can stay with SFA and be king of the extreme off-road, the Grand Cherokee can easily handle those that want IFS. It’s too bad they didn’t compare it to the new king of the hill. A factory Rubicon Xtreme Recon and not a modified JL they call a Xtreme Recon. The Bronco did a good job but so would a Toyota TRD have. Check out the Vids of Broncos on 37s and 40s breaking tierods and steering rakes. There are already quite a few new Broncos out there with straight axle swaps.
First time you guys really challenged the Bronco and it handled it with ease. Respect to the Ford engineers, no mods all factory and handles everything you’ve thrown at it. And the best part is after the trail it’ll cruise easily on the highway at 70+ mph with it’s IFS.
Ford did very well with the new Bronco. I was impressed with the off-road performance of this particular model...Sasquatch with 35" tires off the assembly line. In addition, it is good to see that Ford addressed and resolved some of the nuisances of the Jeep Wrangler (exterior mirrors not mounted on the doors). I really do not get what all of the negative uproar is regarding a Solid Front Axle suspension / steering at highway speeds. I have no problem driving my Jeep Wrangler 75+ mph down the highway for 8 to 10 hours. I have never felt exhausted or tired. Sounds like whimpering complaints from city / urban guys to me. Although the Bronco will hold a line going 70+ mph down a highway better than the Wrangler, it is possible to greatly reduce the movement in steering with aftermarket upgrades ( PSC steering, Dynatrac ball joints, etc.). IMO, the Wrangler suspension with Dana 44 axles or Dana M210 and Dana M220 axles rides very well on pavement...so, the Bronco suspension with IFS axle offers only nominally more comfortable ride.....but, I am use to driving a Ford F350 SRW 4WD truck. The other drawback with the Bronco is the twin turbo to obtain HP from a small engine. Nice to have the weight reduction and extra ponies.....but definitely not at the expense of reliability, durability and longevity. I would definitely be in the market for a Bronco.....bit only IF Ford would place a place naturally aspirated "push rod" V8 under the hood. Ford would be wise to produce TWO smaller versions of the 7.3L Godzilla "push rod" V8.......a 6.5L for the F150 and a 5.7L for the Bronco.
@@15Jeep Good (potential) idea, however, ANY time that a "tried and true" engine design is modified in pretty much ANY way, (especially making it into a different displacement version, which is basically then an entirely different engine altogether), when changing the overall engine like that, (even if the modified version is basically the same basic "design"), doing that almost ALWAYS also totally changes the long term reliability and overall "robustness" of any engine. That simple fact has been shown to be the case MANY times over, with quite a few different engines from quite a few different manufacturers over the decades... I guess if Ford ever DID/DOES actually do anything like that, and actually makes smaller displacement versions of that V-8 like you mention, then time would definitely tell if them doing that was a good idea... or not... I would be open to that idea too, however, one can't automatically assume that any newer, or smaller versions of that engine would be anywhere close to as good or long term reliable as the original one! (unfortunately) (I mean maybe they could be, but who really knows, unless and until it's actually attempted and the new versions were around for awhile.)
@@JoeJ-8282 I should have been more specific. Basically, the same 'concept' ..... meaning, two other versions of "push rod" V8 design with less displacement for lower weight applications. Engines that can provide low end torque for 4WD vehicles.. way better than high end forced induction...and more reliable, durable and increased longevity.
What a beautiful video. I'm not an offroad guy but this video had me captivated for its entire length and the camaraderie between Roman and Tommy is especially nice to see in a father and son. Great video guys and kudos to the mighty Bronco!!
I put my top down and rolled the windows down in my Jeep yesterday at 65 degrees and it was a little chilly. I couldn't imagine doing doors off in 20 degree weather.
Great video as always. I think it would be nice if you make a split shot when comparing so you could see the difference. The articulation of the jeep is perfect.
I ordered a bronco because of your guys videos like this. That and I felt like I was obligated to partipate when they actually offered a manual. And by luck my order was pushed to my22 so I also was able to get the sasquatch package. Can't wait to explore Colorado and Utah!
Congrats man! I would absolutely love a bronco so I'm glad to see people are out here supporting it and telling ford that they want more of them. Hopefully I can get my hands on one at some point in the future.
Interesting... Although he is heavily shafted towards the Bronco in his videos, they were directly responsible for tipping the scale in my recent decision to order a Rubicon.
@@williamlund7759 I haven’t ridden in one but I would agree the interior looks a lot cheaper, only more reason to get closer to a base model to me if the only upside is a front camera and screen I can upgrade later anyway. Base bronco can still get lockers and 35’s and the most powerful engine in the 2 door. That’s the one for me.
Although the 35's provide additional lift, even on 33's the Bronco is crazy capable. I have been surprised at how much even the mall crawler OBX is capable of just by slapping a set of 33's on it.
You got that right. I drove the OBX with 33’s at Bronco Off Roadeo NH and it did everything the others did with 35’s. Truly amazing what these can do, but having a great spotter makes it possible.
I loved this video. Also, Roman, that is awesome...to complement your son for what he is doing and how good he is doing. It comes from excellent parenting. Good job.
Great video. One of the best. I'm a little older and only do Alabama dirt roads in my LR3. Having four wonderful sons my heart jumped when Roman told Tommy how proud he was. Food for the soul. Thank you.
I had the day off & watched a pile of these older TFL shows, they never get old. And who else but TFL would buy a $60,000 vehicle & "real world test" it the way they do. Two👍🏻👍🏻 for TFL.
That was a GREAT VIDEO!!!!! Thanks for taking chances with the Broncos to show how capable it is. It just went to the top of my "when I win the lottery vehicles".
Parking Sensors, I totally agree with you, trail mode, ect. My Ranger had the same issue, you had to reset everything (except 4low) on every key reset. Its all software, they should make it so if your in 4 low, all your settings stay. Taking it out of 4 Low, should be the trigger for a system reset. Thanks for the great comparison.
Awesome! Fantastic video guys. This is why we love TFL. You guys really test the vehicles in the real world & challenge OEM marketing. Love it! Kudos to Ford for doing great job on the Bronco.
I like how the bronco can still do offroad stuff and it handles on the street better than a jeep. I do 95% of the driving on road, but i want to ski in winter and explore trails sometimes and this would really be perfect. Just need the cabbage.
@@Jake-ci1ld Comparing new vehicle price against a used vehicle price is ridiculous. The Bronco is barely 1 model year old. When used Broncos hit the market, they will be down on the mid to low 30's too.
The jl rubi in this video is equipped with the same parts as the recon. 2” mopar lift and 35” tires except they were dealer installed parts instead of manufacturer installed. It’s not an apple to oranges difference.
While not an off-roader myself I feel Ford did an great job with this Bronco. Jeep has been around a long time and there is benefit I solid axles but this new bronco with independent suspension was amazing. Kudos to Ford.
Nice comparison! Seen a lot of videos with the broncos but not a lot of people really pushing them like that. The comparison with the jeep and same size tires was great. As expected from the jeeps and the Bronco was pretty impressive. Great video
I will say, I’ve really loved this bronco series. I really didn’t care for the bronco, nor had the thoughts of watching videos of it. But man, after a couple of your videos, I’m itching! Keep it up!
Glad to see someone actually put the Bronco to the test. The Bronco as the Wrangler did amazing. It does appear after SEMA that a Wrangler is easier to modify the suspension than the Bronco, but we will see as time progresses.
The Bronco seems great, and I'm glad it's out there because it'll keep Jeep working hard to continue to be the benchmark. There's way more to the IFS/solid axle debate that you guys aren't aware of. IFS is much, MUCH more expensive and complex to lift, and in the end simply does not offer the same articulation as a comparable solid axle setup. Yes, you can have lockers to help even the playing field, but the cost and complexity is something that the average joe needs to take into account. I mean for the cost of lifting an IFS rig you can usually get a lift, wheel, and tires for a solid axle vehicle. That's a big deal to us 99-percenters. Second, a HUGE benefit to solid axle setups is that, when the axle is being articulated one tire is being pushed up by an obstacle while the other tire on that axle is being forced down, ONTO THE GROUND to give better traction. You can see that not happening with the Bronco throughout your video. Watch it over again. You'll see the Bronco 'flexing' the front end and the front end will slide sideways off an obstacle. That's an inherent weakness of IFS, and a big deal to those of us who are 'wheeling our hard-earned dollars. Sliding sideways off an obstacle can be catastrophic.

@@15Jeep I agree. I love turbos, but not in this application. Off road I don't want to wait for forced induction to spool up. I need torque from idle. And yes, the reliability isn't as good when an engine is high-strung. In 10 years the Wrangler will still be in production, the Bronco probably won't.
One thing that Jeep has more or less, sometimes more, sometimes less, kept in sight is ease of repair in the field if need be. More parts means more to break. I liked the old Bronco. I also think Roman's analogy of wide receiver to line backer worked well. Both vehicles did the job.
@@theeddorian I have to agree with you. Since Jeep has been doing this since the '40's they intimately know what is best out there in the trail. Ford is jumping on the bandwagon (third time) to cash in. Trust me, when Jeep is releasing the 90th anniversary Wrangler, the Bronco won't be in the picture. I hope it will be, but I doubt it will be.
Now that ford is finely offering a Base Bronco Sasquatch with a manual, I am tempted to want one, however, I am building a 1982 K10. If I had not started the build I might still want a base sasquatch manual but it is 20grand more than my estimate for my current build. Probably wouldn't like all the electronics. Have 1995 Jeep 2.5 YJ, 1998 S10 4.3 2wd, and 1982 K10 350 with new Silver Sport .
I love to watch you guys off-roading the bronco with these jeeps. Makes me excited to go once my bronco gets here and go off-roading myself with my brother and his YJ
Thank you for the video. Great camera shots from all angles, and a great comparison of the Bronco and Jeeps. For a year now I have read comments about how the Bronco can't even get close to what the Jeep can do. Now I have viewed many videos where the Bronco performed as well and even better than the Jeeps. Of course, a lot has to do with how the driver performs.
Disagree with Roman, it’s more like a Tightend, then a linebacker. Or you could call it the “gronk” 😆 great video as usual guys. Now take the LR3 up there :)
For me, the foldable windshield on the Jeep isn’t something that I ever use, but I’m glad that it can be easily replaced if it gets damaged by leaning into a tree without the entire body structure being damaged.
That was awesome! Very capable indeed! I ordered mine a few days ago and can't wait to get it dirty. Great video guys. The smile on your face when crested that obstacle was priceless!
Great video guys. We really appreciate you guys doing the work and really testing these vehicles "carefully" in some very challenging scenarios. Honestly if I hadn't seen the Bronco go up that last obstacle I would not have guessed it could have done it with such confidence. Of course you had some great spotters out there as well. And yeah, Jeeps definitely win in those terrains, but Bronco HAS PROVEN that it can ride along on these same trails and still be more tame on the tarmac. We live in great times where there are such capable vehicles by both brands, along with some great crossovers for the softroad crowd. Databyter
With regards to off-road PSI & bead locks (or lack there of). I routinely run 15 PSI when off-road and I DO NOT have bead locks. I consider the ability to air down so important that when I traded my 13 JK for my 17 I wouldn't off-road the 17 til I installed an on-board compressor.
Yeah, the way they drove I would be comfortable dropping down to 8-10 psi as it was mostly slow crawly stuff. All of these obstacles are not that difficult, it's traction city! I know the camera makes stuff look super tame but I've been.... surprised on how not exactly challenging high rated stuff has been out west compared to the Midwest stuff I'm used to. It doesn't mean it isn't fun though, just different.
I want to sound in on this too because I totally agree. My friends and I run at 15 PSI in tough rocky terrain. I'm on 285/70/17 load range E. If your load range is less than E, you may need more PSI though.
A nerdy off-roader seems like a good balance to me. Yin/yang and all that. Great video guys. Can’t wait until the Bronco EV comes out, that’s the one I’m waiting for. I know, long wait. Let’s what shows up first, that or the CyberTruck.
awesome work guys, love the dynamic between you guys.. you must be really proud father, having awesome job doing work with your son.. keep it up, and wish you a long happy and successful life
Well done guys - thank you for putting the Bronco through the tests. Someday, someone will come up with a front axle swap and make things VERY interesting.
My wife's jeep is a Hella Yella JL Rubicon with the four banger turbo automatic. We love it. My rig is the Gladiator.Rubicon with a 2 inch MOPAR lift and 35 inch BFG KO2s.
Appreciate the humble skills & humble opinions about the vehicles. Leave the bravado to the those of us commenting and no doubt posters will comment about much harder trails here in CO but those are legit obstacles nonetheless. Fun vid, kudos.
That was a superbly wonderful job Tommy did with the Bronco! Great work, Tommy! What I always appreciate most is someone who respects his/her vehicle enough so as to not abuse it while off-road (or on-road) driving. Tommy gets the job done. And his vehicle never looks as if it's been abused! Way to go, Tommy!
I just bought a 2 door bronco badlands and I absolutely love it. While I can see that with the articulation jeeps are better, they are both just fantastically capable machines.
Finally, a great challenge for the Bronco. Up untill this point there has been milder trails that kept all vehicles near the same level. It gave fuel for trolls to argue that lesser capable vehicles were just as good for less money. If they did the same as the Bronco on mild trails, it must be as good? Flawed thinking people for sure. Those very same vehicles wouldn't fair well here at all. Great video TFL.
What a fun video!! Watching all 3 vehicles perform was outstanding. I believe we will see Ford and Jeep start pushing one another to increase capabilities which will benefit the consumer. Again, very fun video to watch!
For all who keep trying to compare Bronco to Wrangler, there is not comparison! A jeep is a jeep and started life as a jeep back in the WWII days and the bronco was never jeep like until they copied the JK / JL and added refinements. That said I'm actually not putting down the bronco. I think it will do well, ride better on road due to the IFS and still allow people to feel like they're in a jeep even if they never go off road. But fact still remains, a jeep is a jeep and only those who understand that get it. Great video and good way to highlight the differences everyone talks about (wheels up, etc). I love my JLUR on 4.5 inch lift and 39's, but I"ll probably have Bronco added to the garage just to say I own one and eventually when the aftermarket catches up, I'll do a solid front axle conversion (because you know it's coming) and put it on 42's and take it to the mall Lol. Just kidding about the mall. I'll drive the mess out of either the jeep or the bronco. Hey we only live once, live life to the fullest. At least with live in the greatest country in the world and have the options of what vehicle we want to buy assuming we work hard and prioritize life priorities. God Bless us all.!!!!
IMHO you're wrong, there is a clear comparison and it's more than obvious to even Mopar because the brand hasn't seen so many sudden changes until someone actually made them get off their ass and do something. Ford built roughly half of your WW2 Jeeps so they happen to know a thing or two about the market and will continue to push it further and further - Jeep didn't have a V8 since AMC owned them! The mentality of it's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand, is part of what is wrong with that community, plain and simple - we wheelers all have a lot in common, how we decided to get out and challenge ourselves and enjoy the outdoors is more important than how we get there. This 6th gen Bronco is still in it's development infancy and I'm curious on how far the IFS can be pushed, IFS cars do win KOH, so there is something to it. Throwing superduty axles under one of these is the obvious simple choice but I want to give IFS a go before making that leap - smashing over everything in front of you on 43's gets old and I'm actually having more fun in smaller tire rigs, 37's seem to be the sweet spot to keep things challenging. Either way, the Bronco is good for Jeep and vice versa, hopefully all of this attention will draw other manufactures back into the game and we can really see how far the OEM's push things.
What can I say... I'm impressed, I loved everything, even the dialogue, the funny moments and the scary ones too. Thank you so much Guys, you're really awesome! Dad and son, it's a joy watching you, great family!
Tommy's becoming quite the off road driver. Those guys were great spotters, too. That Bronco really does play with the big boys. What a great video! More of this!
I put my windshield down every weekend on my 2002 TJ wrangler- it was common to drive jeeps w em down on the CJ’s back in the 70’s - 80’s .. try it’ it awesome
don't need bead locks to go lower pressure on those tires. I routinely run ~13PSI on trails and 8PSI for deep snow (on roads) without beadlocks on 315/75-16's (7.5" rim width helps hold the bead on). With the 17X8.5" rims on the Bronco I think you could run ~15PSI without any concerns when running trails. I've never lost a bead and been on many similarly rough trails.
Pretty impressive, but I would prefer the two door version of these vehicles. The sensors going off would be annoying. Be nice if you could disable that.
The best part...the absolute best part....When you Roman told your son Tommy you were proud of him and having the balls to off road the Bronco. I, growing up got beaten, yelled at and told so many times how stupid I was by my old man. I am not asking for pity, just showing how bad and good it can be with Father/son relationships. Roman, you are more man than probably many by just one kind gesture.👍👍🥂
This was awesome! I use to have a 2015 JKU Rubicon that was factory modified just like the JLU, I LOVED IT! I now have a 2021 JT Rubicon, still stock. wanting to do a 2 or 2.5 suspension lift with 35s and a decent winch with a few off road lights. I miss my JLU, however, really enjoying my JT. Keep up the great work! Thank you!
Agree 100%. The Bronco is a great rig for intermediate trails but it maxes out very quickly while the Jeep has massive aftermarket options to make it exponentially more capable. IFS will always be the limiting factor.
nobody disagrees with that lol. The thing is that the bronco is MUCH more comfortable on road (where most people do the vast majority of their driving) while also still being able to handle everything they've thrown at it. Pretty impressive if you ask me
One of my many favorite things about Four 4X4, is not having to go forward or back up to engage or disengage. When my Chevy friends get stuck, and then engage the 4X4 system it can be a nightmare to get it to engage. The same with the rare Dodges I have been in. The Bronco is looking good with the IFS, I am surprised.
I went to a Bronco event yesterday, was super fun to drive. One thing I found out that I have not seen anyone mention so far is that when if you have the cameras, when you put it in reverse you can select a rear tire view.
Not a huge fan of 19:52 - old mate is on the gas and turning the wheel while his spotter is on the ground with his head 2 feet away. Really enjoyed the video in general though and the guy doing most of the spotting really knows his game - nice one guys.
Great content guys! One of the guys made a comment on the way up the obstacle to lock it into first gear. You dont really need to do that with the bronco, the goat modes and the 10 speed have enough gearing and power band to make an easy transition of torque so that you keep in an ideal torque range. I thought I was the only one with a first edition hitting the trails, but glad to see more of them. Looking forward to see you guys out there! 👍
Trail oven! I used to do that on my 4.9l f150. Toss some food in foil and just set it in between the intake plenum and head. 15min of driving and lunch is ready!
Of all your videos, this one was the best as far as I am concerned. The Jeeps are natural out there, but the newcomer Bronco did a real nice job. Maybe Ford is watching this and taking notes. Good job to all involved.
I didn't realize that trail complexity had changed a bit, back in the day "trailsoffroad" had that as a 8. Either way, 7 or 8, that's right up there with the toughest in Colorado.

Have they even mentioned the Defender since they went back the next day to get it? I haven't seen anything.
Hahaha. I'm sure they wouldn't have even dared with the defender up there. As they mentioned, Land Rover did not set it up with the right tire for heavy off-roading, let alone technical crawling.
These spotters are so good they could probably get a Camry through there.

I agree. You can tell Justin knows every nook and cranny of that place.

Independent suspension. The Bronco will never match the Wrangler. Completely different category. That being said....anything that adds competition and lowers the price of wranglers is a good thing.
@@pwulm5285 na that's just wrong. The future is in independent suspension hence jeeps being one of the only solid axel SUVs left.

Aftermarket manufacturers are going and are creating long travel IFS set ups. People that never owned or wheeled hard in ifs setups talk the most crap. Owned both I'll take IFS any day. Check out Bronc Buster he's mainly on TikTok. His build is great, all in with the bronco and mods 70k. Clapping 100k jeeps 🤣.
Shame LR didn’t do the same with the Defender!!
@@pwulm5285 As far as ultimate modifications go you're right. However, the overwhelming majority of those who will actually take their Jeeps and Broncos off road will never come close to running a trail that difficult. So whether it's stock for stock or modified versus modified, the differences would only be seen at such extremes that only a tiny fraction of buyers will ever see them. Truth is, a modded Bronco on 37's and a modded Wrangler on 37's will do far more difficult and dangerous terrain than anyone I know has ever done. I'd say you'd almost have to try a buggy line to find the winner.
@@camooo101 the future of the Wrangler can stay with SFA and be king of the extreme off-road, the Grand Cherokee can easily handle those that want IFS.
It’s too bad they didn’t compare it to the new king of the hill. A factory Rubicon Xtreme Recon and not a modified JL they call a Xtreme Recon. The Bronco did a good job but so would a Toyota TRD have. Check out the Vids of Broncos on 37s and 40s breaking tierods and steering rakes. There are already quite a few new Broncos out there with straight axle swaps.
First time you guys really challenged the Bronco and it handled it with ease. Respect to the Ford engineers, no mods all factory and handles everything you’ve thrown at it. And the best part is after the trail it’ll cruise easily on the highway at 70+ mph with it’s IFS.
40’s and 4 inches of lift jeep here… going 80mph down the highway with my solid axle 🤣
Do you think that's actually hard for a Jeep?
Ford did very well with the new Bronco. I was impressed with the off-road performance of this particular model...Sasquatch with 35" tires off the assembly line. In addition, it is good to see that Ford addressed and resolved some of the nuisances of the Jeep Wrangler (exterior mirrors not mounted on the doors). I really do not get what all of the negative uproar is regarding a Solid Front Axle suspension / steering at highway speeds. I have no problem driving my Jeep Wrangler 75+ mph down the highway for 8 to 10 hours. I have never felt exhausted or tired. Sounds like whimpering complaints from city / urban guys to me.
Although the Bronco will hold a line going 70+ mph down a highway better than the Wrangler, it is possible to greatly reduce the movement in steering with aftermarket upgrades ( PSC steering, Dynatrac ball joints, etc.). IMO, the Wrangler suspension with Dana 44 axles or Dana M210 and Dana M220 axles rides very well on pavement...so, the Bronco suspension with IFS axle offers only nominally more comfortable ride.....but, I am use to driving a Ford F350 SRW 4WD truck.
The other drawback with the Bronco is the twin turbo to obtain HP from a small engine. Nice to have the weight reduction and extra ponies.....but definitely not at the expense of reliability, durability and longevity. I would definitely be in the market for a Bronco.....bit only IF Ford would place a place naturally aspirated "push rod" V8 under the hood. Ford would be wise to produce TWO smaller versions of the 7.3L Godzilla "push rod" V8.......a 6.5L for the F150 and a 5.7L for the Bronco.
@@15Jeep Good (potential) idea, however, ANY time that a "tried and true" engine design is modified in pretty much ANY way, (especially making it into a different displacement version, which is basically then an entirely different engine altogether), when changing the overall engine like that, (even if the modified version is basically the same basic "design"), doing that almost ALWAYS also totally changes the long term reliability and overall "robustness" of any engine. That simple fact has been shown to be the case MANY times over, with quite a few different engines from quite a few different manufacturers over the decades...
I guess if Ford ever DID/DOES actually do anything like that, and actually makes smaller displacement versions of that V-8 like you mention, then time would definitely tell if them doing that was a good idea... or not... I would be open to that idea too, however, one can't automatically assume that any newer, or smaller versions of that engine would be anywhere close to as good or long term reliable as the original one! (unfortunately) (I mean maybe they could be, but who really knows, unless and until it's actually attempted and the new versions were around for awhile.)
@@JoeJ-8282 I should have been more specific. Basically, the same 'concept' ..... meaning, two other versions of "push rod" V8 design with less displacement for lower weight applications. Engines that can provide low end torque for 4WD vehicles.. way better than high end forced induction...and more reliable, durable and increased longevity.
What a beautiful video. I'm not an offroad guy but this video had me captivated for its entire length and the camaraderie between Roman and Tommy is especially nice to see in a father and son. Great video guys and kudos to the mighty Bronco!!
Hats off to the guy driving all year in Colorado without the doors. Just thinking about it makes me feel uncomfortably cold.
I put my top down and rolled the windows down in my Jeep yesterday at 65 degrees and it was a little chilly. I couldn't imagine doing doors off in 20 degree weather.
That's my good friend Chris, he's weird like that! hahahaha
Amazing video! Love it when you guys do the hard trails in new vehicles that no one dares to off road. The Bronco is just the bomb.
Great video as always. I think it would be nice if you make a split shot when comparing so you could see the difference. The articulation of the jeep is perfect.
Watching the Jeep suspension articulate over that terrain is glorious! 👍🏻
All these years later and you guys are still killing it
I ordered a bronco because of your guys videos like this. That and I felt like I was obligated to partipate when they actually offered a manual. And by luck my order was pushed to my22 so I also was able to get the sasquatch package. Can't wait to explore Colorado and Utah!
Congrats man! I would absolutely love a bronco so I'm glad to see people are out here supporting it and telling ford that they want more of them. Hopefully I can get my hands on one at some point in the future.
Interesting... Although he is heavily shafted towards the Bronco in his videos, they were directly responsible for tipping the scale in my recent decision to order a Rubicon.
Jeep still has bronco slightly beat due to articulation but bronco I think is a better daily so choose which you want.
I agree with that. I also think Bronco has the Jeep beat in areas like comfort and handling at higher off road speeds.
@@richardmodglin3900 interior of bronco is garbage imo. drives down the road fine but feels like a base model ford focus
@@williamlund7759 I haven’t ridden in one but I would agree the interior looks a lot cheaper, only more reason to get closer to a base model to me if the only upside is a front camera and screen I can upgrade later anyway. Base bronco can still get lockers and 35’s and the most powerful engine in the 2 door. That’s the one for me.
the amount of beeping and chimes the Ford makes would drive me nuts!
All stuff you can turn off
Go Tommy! This video had me on the edge of my seat. That bronco keeps impressing. And hats off to the experienced spotters.
Although the 35's provide additional lift, even on 33's the Bronco is crazy capable. I have been surprised at how much even the mall crawler OBX is capable of just by slapping a set of 33's on it.
You got that right. I drove the OBX with 33’s at Bronco Off Roadeo NH and it did everything the others did with 35’s. Truly amazing what these can do, but having a great spotter makes it possible.
I loved this video. Also, Roman, that is awesome...to complement your son for what he is doing and how good he is doing. It comes from excellent parenting. Good job.
Great video. One of the best. I'm a little older and only do Alabama dirt roads in my LR3. Having four wonderful sons my heart jumped when Roman told Tommy how proud he was. Food for the soul. Thank you.
I had the day off & watched a pile of these older TFL shows, they never get old.
And who else but TFL would buy a $60,000 vehicle & "real world test" it the way they do.
Two👍🏻👍🏻 for TFL.
That was a GREAT VIDEO!!!!! Thanks for taking chances with the Broncos to show how capable it is. It just went to the top of my "when I win the lottery vehicles".
Parking Sensors, I totally agree with you, trail mode, ect. My Ranger had the same issue, you had to reset everything (except 4low) on every key reset. Its all software, they should make it so if your in 4 low, all your settings stay. Taking it out of 4 Low, should be the trigger for a system reset. Thanks for the great comparison.
Awesome! Fantastic video guys. This is why we love TFL. You guys really test the vehicles in the real world & challenge OEM marketing. Love it! Kudos to Ford for doing great job on the Bronco.
I like how the bronco can still do offroad stuff and it handles on the street better than a jeep. I do 95% of the driving on road, but i want to ski in winter and explore trails sometimes and this would really be perfect. Just need the cabbage.
You can buy a used jk below 20k miles for lows 30s, half the price of a bronco.
@@Jake-ci1ld half the price of that First Edition Bronco .
@@rydfree exactly
@@Jake-ci1ld Comparing new vehicle price against a used vehicle price is ridiculous. The Bronco is barely 1 model year old. When used Broncos hit the market, they will be down on the mid to low 30's too.
You could buy a 4Runner lol. You act like this hasn’t been done before. Most owners can do the trails they do in a Suzuki samurai
Can we see an factory Extreme Recon package Wrangler vs. the Sasquatch package Bronco
The jl rubi in this video is equipped with the same parts as the recon. 2” mopar lift and 35” tires except they were dealer installed parts instead of manufacturer installed. It’s not an apple to oranges difference.
only thing mine doesn't have that a recon does is 4.56 gears. otherwise it's identical to their new $4000 package.
Justin's rig is identical to the ER package minus the rear axle ratio.
The Bronco may not make it look as graceful as the Jeeps but is basically just as capable. Great job TFL!! Keep em right side up fellas.👌🏽🔥🔥
While not an off-roader myself I feel Ford did an great job with this Bronco. Jeep has been around a long time and there is benefit I solid axles but this new bronco with independent suspension was amazing. Kudos to Ford.
Nice comparison! Seen a lot of videos with the broncos but not a lot of people really pushing them like that. The comparison with the jeep and same size tires was great. As expected from the jeeps and the Bronco was pretty impressive. Great video
It is fun watching Tommy go from a skeptic to a fan of the Bronco. Nice driving. Can't wait to do something similar one day.
I will say, I’ve really loved this bronco series. I really didn’t care for the bronco, nor had the thoughts of watching videos of it. But man, after a couple of your videos, I’m itching!
Keep it up!
Glad to see someone actually put the Bronco to the test. The Bronco as the Wrangler did amazing. It does appear after SEMA that a Wrangler is easier to modify the suspension than the Bronco, but we will see as time progresses.
Lite Brite channel put the Bronco to the test months ago. They were def the first to seriously off road the new Bronco.
@@CPMUNSEY Maybe, but you need to watch it on “mute”
@@CPMUNSEY I gave up watching them. At one time I like their channel, but lost interest when they got all the other toys.
@@scottboyd8892 yeah it’s def not the same at it was earlier but I still like watching them.
The Bronco seems great, and I'm glad it's out there because it'll keep Jeep working hard to continue to be the benchmark.
There's way more to the IFS/solid axle debate that you guys aren't aware of. IFS is much, MUCH more expensive and complex to lift, and in the end simply does not offer the same articulation as a comparable solid axle setup. Yes, you can have lockers to help even the playing field, but the cost and complexity is something that the average joe needs to take into account. I mean for the cost of lifting an IFS rig you can usually get a lift, wheel, and tires for a solid axle vehicle. That's a big deal to us 99-percenters.
Second, a HUGE benefit to solid axle setups is that, when the axle is being articulated one tire is being pushed up by an obstacle while the other tire on that axle is being forced down, ONTO THE GROUND to give better traction. You can see that not happening with the Bronco throughout your video. Watch it over again. You'll see the Bronco 'flexing' the front end and the front end will slide sideways off an obstacle. That's an inherent weakness of IFS, and a big deal to those of us who are 'wheeling our hard-earned dollars. Sliding sideways off an obstacle can be catastrophic.
Exactly Correct!!!

@@15Jeep I agree. I love turbos, but not in this application. Off road I don't want to wait for forced induction to spool up. I need torque from idle. And yes, the reliability isn't as good when an engine is high-strung.
In 10 years the Wrangler will still be in production, the Bronco probably won't.
One thing that Jeep has more or less, sometimes more, sometimes less, kept in sight is ease of repair in the field if need be. More parts means more to break. I liked the old Bronco. I also think Roman's analogy of wide receiver to line backer worked well. Both vehicles did the job.
@@theeddorian I have to agree with you. Since Jeep has been doing this since the '40's they intimately know what is best out there in the trail. Ford is jumping on the bandwagon (third time) to cash in. Trust me, when Jeep is releasing the 90th anniversary Wrangler, the Bronco won't be in the picture. I hope it will be, but I doubt it will be.
Now that ford is finely offering a Base Bronco Sasquatch with a manual, I am tempted to want one, however, I am building a 1982 K10. If I had not started the build I might still want a base sasquatch manual but it is 20grand more than my estimate for my current build. Probably wouldn't like all the electronics. Have 1995 Jeep 2.5 YJ, 1998 S10 4.3 2wd, and 1982 K10 350 with new Silver Sport .
I love to watch you guys off-roading the bronco with these jeeps. Makes me excited to go once my bronco gets here and go off-roading myself with my brother and his YJ
Thank you for the video. Great camera shots from all angles, and a great comparison of the Bronco and Jeeps. For a year now I have read comments about how the Bronco can't even get close to what the Jeep can do. Now I have viewed many videos where the Bronco performed as well and even better than the Jeeps. Of course, a lot has to do with how the driver performs.
Disagree with Roman, it’s more like a Tightend, then a linebacker. Or you could call it the “gronk” 😆 great video as usual guys. Now take the LR3 up there :)
Love watching Justin's version and TFL's version. Both awesome channels!
For me, the foldable windshield on the Jeep isn’t something that I ever use, but I’m glad that it can be easily replaced if it gets damaged by leaning into a tree without the entire body structure being damaged.
That was awesome! Very capable indeed! I ordered mine a few days ago and can't wait to get it dirty. Great video guys. The smile on your face when crested that obstacle was priceless!
Awesome video and the Bronco continues to impress!
That red wrangler with the red stripe around the rims is a nice lookin machine.
Great video guys. We really appreciate you guys doing the work and really testing these vehicles "carefully" in some very challenging scenarios. Honestly if I hadn't seen the Bronco go up that last obstacle I would not have guessed it could have done it with such confidence. Of course you had some great spotters out there as well. And yeah, Jeeps definitely win in those terrains, but Bronco HAS PROVEN that it can ride along on these same trails and still be more tame on the tarmac. We live in great times where there are such capable vehicles by both brands, along with some great crossovers for the softroad crowd. Databyter
With regards to off-road PSI & bead locks (or lack there of). I routinely run 15 PSI when off-road and I DO NOT have bead locks. I consider the ability to air down so important that when I traded my 13 JK for my 17 I wouldn't off-road the 17 til I installed an on-board compressor.
Right. 25 psi is NOT aired down.
Yeah, the way they drove I would be comfortable dropping down to 8-10 psi as it was mostly slow crawly stuff. All of these obstacles are not that difficult, it's traction city! I know the camera makes stuff look super tame but I've been.... surprised on how not exactly challenging high rated stuff has been out west compared to the Midwest stuff I'm used to. It doesn't mean it isn't fun though, just different.
I want to sound in on this too because I totally agree. My friends and I run at 15 PSI in tough rocky terrain. I'm on 285/70/17 load range E. If your load range is less than E, you may need more PSI though.
14:58 Defender has left the chat
A nerdy off-roader seems like a good balance to me. Yin/yang and all that. Great video guys. Can’t wait until the Bronco EV comes out, that’s the one I’m waiting for. I know, long wait. Let’s what shows up first, that or the CyberTruck.
My Bronco is supposed to be built in January. Picking it up in Michigan and road tripping it back to New Mexico. Wranglers and Broncos are awesome!
Amazing ford engineering! 👍 Looks like you can do all most all of the trails in Colorado with just a stock ford Bronco right off the dealer floor.
This is your best video yet! Real world testing is awesome!!
awesome work guys, love the dynamic between you guys.. you must be really proud father, having awesome job doing work with your son.. keep it up, and wish you a long happy and successful life
Great video! Who else has actually put the Bronco through its paces, like TFL did here? A stock one, no less! Great job all around!
Well done guys - thank you for putting the Bronco through the tests. Someday, someone will come up with a front axle swap and make things VERY interesting.
My wife's jeep is a Hella Yella JL Rubicon with the four banger turbo automatic. We love it. My rig is the Gladiator.Rubicon with a 2 inch MOPAR lift and 35 inch BFG KO2s.
Appreciate the humble skills & humble opinions about the vehicles. Leave the bravado to the those of us commenting and no doubt posters will comment about much harder trails here in CO but those are legit obstacles nonetheless. Fun vid, kudos.
U guys are one of the very few, if not the only one making off-road testing high resolution vids. Keep it up😀😀
Thanks for the real world tests. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Tommy's jeep. Thanks for sharing, keep the great videos coming
Once again, Tommy hits a homerun!!! Great job...you've just been officially promoted to being my favorite offroad tester!!!
That was a superbly wonderful job Tommy did with the Bronco! Great work, Tommy! What I always appreciate most is someone who respects his/her vehicle enough so as to not abuse it while off-road (or on-road) driving. Tommy gets the job done. And his vehicle never looks as if it's been abused! Way to go, Tommy!
Ask any grade schooler and they’ll tell you the Bronco is yellow.😄
I just bought a 2 door bronco badlands and I absolutely love it. While I can see that with the articulation jeeps are better, they are both just fantastically capable machines.
Finally, a great challenge for the Bronco. Up untill this point there has been milder trails that kept all vehicles near the same level. It gave fuel for trolls to argue that lesser capable vehicles were just as good for less money. If they did the same as the Bronco on mild trails, it must be as good? Flawed thinking people for sure. Those very same vehicles wouldn't fair well here at all.
Great video TFL.
Exactly. Would love to see a 4Runner attempt this trail. Key word being "attempt", haha.
Great video and comparison. Also who ever does the music on these does a great job with the intensification 😂
What a fun video!! Watching all 3 vehicles perform was outstanding. I believe we will see Ford and Jeep start pushing one another to increase capabilities which will benefit the consumer. Again, very fun video to watch!
For all who keep trying to compare Bronco to Wrangler, there is not comparison! A jeep is a jeep and started life as a jeep back in the WWII days and the bronco was never jeep like until they copied the JK / JL and added refinements. That said I'm actually not putting down the bronco. I think it will do well, ride better on road due to the IFS and still allow people to feel like they're in a jeep even if they never go off road. But fact still remains, a jeep is a jeep and only those who understand that get it. Great video and good way to highlight the differences everyone talks about (wheels up, etc). I love my JLUR on 4.5 inch lift and 39's, but I"ll probably have Bronco added to the garage just to say I own one and eventually when the aftermarket catches up, I'll do a solid front axle conversion (because you know it's coming) and put it on 42's and take it to the mall Lol. Just kidding about the mall. I'll drive the mess out of either the jeep or the bronco. Hey we only live once, live life to the fullest. At least with live in the greatest country in the world and have the options of what vehicle we want to buy assuming we work hard and prioritize life priorities. God Bless us all.!!!!
IMHO you're wrong, there is a clear comparison and it's more than obvious to even Mopar because the brand hasn't seen so many sudden changes until someone actually made them get off their ass and do something. Ford built roughly half of your WW2 Jeeps so they happen to know a thing or two about the market and will continue to push it further and further - Jeep didn't have a V8 since AMC owned them! The mentality of it's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand, is part of what is wrong with that community, plain and simple - we wheelers all have a lot in common, how we decided to get out and challenge ourselves and enjoy the outdoors is more important than how we get there. This 6th gen Bronco is still in it's development infancy and I'm curious on how far the IFS can be pushed, IFS cars do win KOH, so there is something to it. Throwing superduty axles under one of these is the obvious simple choice but I want to give IFS a go before making that leap - smashing over everything in front of you on 43's gets old and I'm actually having more fun in smaller tire rigs, 37's seem to be the sweet spot to keep things challenging. Either way, the Bronco is good for Jeep and vice versa, hopefully all of this attention will draw other manufactures back into the game and we can really see how far the OEM's push things.
Great video guys, it's really nice to see the Bronco doing more challenging stuff with true competition.
You two make watching these videos worth it.
Yellow paint runs but definitely climbs.
What can I say... I'm impressed, I loved everything, even the dialogue, the funny moments and the scary ones too. Thank you so much Guys, you're really awesome! Dad and son, it's a joy watching you, great family!
Tommy's becoming quite the off road driver. Those guys were great spotters, too. That Bronco really does play with the big boys. What a great video! More of this!
I air down to 12 psi off-road all the time without beadlocks, (factory rubicon rims) never had a problem.
Yep, 25 psi does not qualify as aired down... I run 9 psi all the time on my 35s without beadlocks
I put my windshield down every weekend on my 2002 TJ wrangler- it was common to drive jeeps w em down on the CJ’s back in the 70’s - 80’s .. try it’ it awesome
don't need bead locks to go lower pressure on those tires. I routinely run ~13PSI on trails and 8PSI for deep snow (on roads) without beadlocks on 315/75-16's (7.5" rim width helps hold the bead on). With the 17X8.5" rims on the Bronco I think you could run ~15PSI without any concerns when running trails. I've never lost a bead and been on many similarly rough trails.
The intensity of all the music had me on the edge of my seat hahaha
Pretty impressive, but I would prefer the two door version of these vehicles. The sensors going off would be annoying. Be nice if you could disable that.
You can disable them.
That's good. I can't stand all those beepers and buzzers.
Bronco did very well but this was also a great show for the extreme recon!
The best part...the absolute best part....When you Roman told your son Tommy you were proud of him and having the balls to off road the Bronco. I, growing up got beaten, yelled at and told so many times how stupid I was by my old man. I am not asking for pity, just showing how bad and good it can be with Father/son relationships. Roman, you are more man than probably many by just one kind gesture.👍👍🥂
Seriously know nothing about cars but I could listen to Tommy talk about them all day ✨
This was awesome! I use to have a 2015 JKU Rubicon that was factory modified just like the JLU, I LOVED IT! I now have a 2021 JT Rubicon, still stock. wanting to do a 2 or 2.5 suspension lift with 35s and a decent winch with a few off road lights. I miss my JLU, however, really enjoying my JT. Keep up the great work! Thank you!
Just another inch of lift (or tire) and the Bronco would have not rubbed. Love it. Excellent video
Great test ,great presentation, and best part is "DAD'S JOKES " all the way 😂 thanks guys
Right at 16:29 proves the superiority of solid axles off road. All the tech of the Bronco can't overcome this inherent advantage of Jeep suspension.
Agree 100%. The Bronco is a great rig for intermediate trails but it maxes out very quickly while the Jeep has massive aftermarket options to make it exponentially more capable. IFS will always be the limiting factor.
nobody disagrees with that lol. The thing is that the bronco is MUCH more comfortable on road (where most people do the vast majority of their driving) while also still being able to handle everything they've thrown at it. Pretty impressive if you ask me
23:27 wow that is very impressive
One of my many favorite things about Four 4X4, is not having to go forward or back up to engage or disengage. When my Chevy friends get stuck, and then engage the 4X4 system it can be a nightmare to get it to engage. The same with the rare Dodges I have been in. The Bronco is looking good with the IFS, I am surprised.
I was thinking how thst heating tube could warm the pants and then you said it! Love thst you didn't shy Way from teasing your buddy.
I went to a Bronco event yesterday, was super fun to drive. One thing I found out that I have not seen anyone mention so far is that when if you have the cameras, when you put it in reverse you can select a rear tire view.
I owned that color on a Jeep, it’s definitely yellow. Good stuff guys and this caused me to move the trail up my list to cover, thanks!
Yeah! I've never heard of this trail...looks fun!
Definitely the type of car i would choose for Canada winter :)
Damn. That looks like so much fun. Wish I had a dad with a bunch of cool cars to take me on wheeling excursions
Not a huge fan of 19:52 - old mate is on the gas and turning the wheel while his spotter is on the ground with his head 2 feet away. Really enjoyed the video in general though and the guy doing most of the spotting really knows his game - nice one guys.
This video was excellent and showed that even though the Bronco is very capable, the Jeep is still king. Long live the king!!
A mashup of my 2 favorite offroad channels, yay...
You two have such an awesome relationship
Great content guys! One of the guys made a comment on the way up the obstacle to lock it into first gear. You dont really need to do that with the bronco, the goat modes and the 10 speed have enough gearing and power band to make an easy transition of torque so that you keep in an ideal torque range. I thought I was the only one with a first edition hitting the trails, but glad to see more of them. Looking forward to see you guys out there! 👍
Trail oven! I used to do that on my 4.9l f150. Toss some food in foil and just set it in between the intake plenum and head. 15min of driving and lunch is ready!
love watching Justin's recovery channel he does a great job with explaining what and why he does stuff. He is a great follow
Justin has a great channel and the Colorado 4×4 rescue group does some awesome stuff as well. Loved seeing you guys working together
Fine work Tommy. It's great that you and your Dad are such a dynamic duo. How about a intense ride with your Mom ?
i wish your videos were longer because i enjoy watching them!
Of all your videos, this one was the best as far as I am concerned. The Jeeps are natural out there, but the newcomer Bronco did a real nice job. Maybe Ford is watching this and taking notes. Good job to all involved.
The images you guys get on the rocks r insanely good
