The Ford Bronco was made to unapologetically, absolutely dominate shopping mall parking lots, err... sorry, the competition off-road. Jokes aside, the Ford Bronco is packed with very clever, non-gimmicky features that are genuinely useful off-road, so we’ll be highlighting 10 of those features in this video. But I’m going to do my best to include a more realistic way each of these features can be used when inevitably your $50,000 purpose-built off-road machine ends up being more commonly used to bring home house plants from the local nursery. And like, maybe a bag of mulch, or something.
While maybe it sounds like I’m mildly cynical about the new Ford Bronco, really and truly, it’s one of the most impressive vehicle’s I’ve driven offroad, and not just because it’s another truck with lots of ground clearance, big tires, and a proper four wheel drive system, but because so many aspects of it are engineered in a fashion that allows it to master its craft, without gimmicks. It’s a crazy popular vehicle, but it actually lives up to the hype. If the only complaints I have about it are poor fuel economy and range, I’d call that a huge win considering it’s a 5,000 lb brick shaped object. A beautiful brick, I might add. I love the Bronco, and if you happen to get your hands on one, you probably will too.

I fell out of my chair laughing when you talked about how off roaders MUST have a light bar and subaru drivers MUST have an empty roof rack. 😂
The roof rack's for my gear, bro, don't ask questions!
I thought for sure the roof rack was for the extra oil needed for those wonderful oil-consuming Subaru engines 🤷♂️
As a Subaru owner, I laughed so freaking hard about the roof rack joke...I also feel slightly hurt.
Question? Why is it that all the young people that can still see have these? You're on the interstate and Bro dozer is projecting enough light as though they are looking for lost ships.
@A walrus ???? The guy next door to my Sister has a quad cab 3/4 ton 4wd. It's lifted. LED under glow. Wheel wells too. Crazy rims w/baloneys. A real pavement princess. He's late 20's early 30's married. A kid in high-school and one in middle school. His wife drives a plain jane sedan.
Meanwhile down the street is the same model vehicle. He works for some earth works outfit. It shows. Good to know. If I get the inclination to rob the cradle. First on the list will be a light bar. Have a great day.

Are you okay engineering explained? The sarcasm was off the charts in this one 😂😂😂
WE NEED MORE
The execution of your humor over the years has been one of my favorite thing to see about your channel grow. 😂 Excellent video man!
Also, will there be any Priuses in this video? 👀
There were some good jokes in there, and I suppose with this being a Bronco video, this might be in a different style from most others on this channel, future and past. That said, I'd like to offer some constructive criticism from a watchability viewpoint.
Engineering Explained is a place for learning a lot of of interesting things about cars and their systems. Sometimes that information comes at such a pace that it takes genuine strong concentration to follow the chain of thought leading up to the actual lesson. That's not a problem. It's a great way to learn a lot in a short time.
However, when I'm concentrated to learning and instead the chain of thought ends in a silly joke, I feel like Charlie Brown having the football yanked away by Lucy. I found it distractingly jarring. I felt like I my concentration and focus "went to waste" in a way, and I wasn't sure if I was watching a comedy show or an engineering lesson.
I then found myself not concentrating on the next bit of video since it was just comedy. But then when it turned out that the next bit was actually useful information, I had to go back and rewatch it because I wasn't following the lesson properly.
This made for a frustrating learning experience.
If these HAI-style jokes are going to be a staple on the channel from here on out, perhaps try to pace them in a ways that the listener doesn't confuse the set-up with the actual engineering lessons that require concentration.
Maybe one way to do this is to give the lesson, have a pause, then crack a quick joke about it and then move on to the next serious lesson.
The bit about stealing body panels from other Broncos near the end worked quite like that and was genuinely funny and not too distracting.
Still a fan though, and always love to learn! I might be in the minority with my concerns. Thank you Jason for all the hard work you put in!
@@arantala While I understand your frustration, I think that shooting the information buildup with a joke is the whole point of it. These jokes would not be that funny if they were announced in advance 😂
But I think it goes hand in hand with this kind of videos. This is not a typical whiteboard lesson, therefore it can definitely be more jokey 😁.

Hey, my Prius has a roof rack and a bike rack! 😁
The humor: Legendary. Fun fact: the first Porsche Cayenne had (optional) sway bar disconnect
Neat! Cayenne is for off-roading then, yes? ;)
@@EngineeringExplained you'd be surprised how far you can go with a Cayenne off road, although nobody would be very happy to do it and ruin the paint XD. I guess you know the first gen Cayenne won 2008 (and later) the Transsyberia Ralley in Russia? OK it was somewhat modified, but nonetheless. They came up with a special model of the Cayenne, the Transsyberia edition you could buy new for 80k €. Great Off-Road car. Great vid!
you can use the geeting over curb at local shopping mall
But cutting out sway bars is less meaningful when these cars come with lockable(automatically) differentials right?
@@EngineeringExplained it is! I off-road mine. Nearly stock (larger tires and custom front bumper/which.) it's capable with low range, central diff lock, and turbo. 🤘
I’ve had one on order for a year and a half, we went to the Bronco off rodeo in Austin and drove Broncos for almost 6hrs. We went over rock formations I thought we’d never make it over with EASE. They are amazing stock!! And the aftermarket is in love with the bronco 👍🏽👍🏽
“When the snowflakes start falling. No not keep owners actual snowflakes”. I genuinely laughed out loud for that one.
Lol
I'm pretty sure he said Jeep, not keep!
*Jeep 😂
*Jeep
That comment killed me!!
This video was utterly brilliant. Thank you so much. Everything second was worth watching. Skript and film quality couldn't be any better. Loved it and gonna show all my friends, pets and everyone else.
Really appreciate you showing your pets, I think they will get a lot out of it!
Hilarious. I laughed out loud many times. My wife is looking at me getting slightly annoyed with my giggle outbursts.
We’ll done sir.
Hahaha, as someone who shares an office with my wife, I can relate. Eventually we'll explain why we're giggling.
Buy a Bronco that'll really piss her off haha
@@AlienLivesMatter Good one.
This episode was very well written👏🏼👏🏼
Between the Bronco and the Maverick, Ford has hit it out of the park. All the “gimmicky” things are actually useful and will help people who need (or just want) to customize them do so easily.
"Wether Kelly Clarkson is driving or not." Hahaa best way to describe independent suspension
"Goes Over Any Type of Terrain" has a very different meaning than "Goes Over Any Terrain." The first one means that the vehicle is capable of going over many kinds of surfaces. The second one means the vehicle will absolutely, positively go over anything - no exceptions.
Sounds like the engineers knew how to spell and the lawyers decided to mess up their cool acronym.
Like FSD, “full self driving”!
Glad I'm not the only one who raised an eyebrow at this.
"Ford Bronco destroys the competition"
That's true, it did beat the Wrangler and the Prius in the poll yesterday 😂
Will get flogged by the toyota 300 series though
@@tristramfenech8284 What market can you buy a 300 Series and a Bronco? Not in North America.
The humour, the sarcasm and the engineering explained - the engineering explained 2021
Loved the video
I want 2,000lb cars again!
Curb weight on my car is < 2300, but it was made 21 years ago... So never mind.
I'm sure you do.
What 2000lb cars are you referring to?
Yes, go off roading in a miata
Mitsubishi Mirage. 4 door. 2000lbs. 78hp.
That was the best car review I've seen. Not overly informative, funny, the good and the bad, got to the point in a timely manner, and over all awesome video!
This car will be used as a family van for dads in their midlife crisis. Perfect for driving from the suburbs into the city for the best nail salon hahaha 🌈
I feel attacked!😭
😂
Just like majority of Rubicon Wranglers/gladiator, trd pro Tacoma's and power wagons.
@@JoeC92 I think you mean the majority of every car ever made for "off road".
Good. I hope they're really popular with the sort of people who will buy them new and never take them off road. If the durability is there, in several years we'll see a steady supply of gently used Broncos ready to serve as nice trail rigs for their second or third owners.
I love all the snarky jokes in this!!!
You cranked up the jokes to eleven didn't you? I love it tho!
I am genuinely impressed. Didn’t expect to like the new Bronco much, but after seeing this video, I do.
Such a great and hilarious review! Going in-depth to the technical capabilities and keeping us there with perfectly calibrated humour. Very well done.
The range comparison to the Mustang Mach-e was also quite eye opening.
Great review. Good info. Most people never cover these items or explain them
I think this is the first ever car review video where I literally lol'd
You should watch Sarah-in-Tuned. She had goofy humor throughout her reviews.
A bit about one pedal driving, most RC crawlers that go off road use “one pedal driving” since both the throttle and brake are controlled on one trigger, and then the speed controller sets a certain amount of electromechanical drag on the system. It is genuinely really nice for hiking with since I can climb the rocks with one hand and drive my RC with the other
You were really feeling the sarcasm in this one but It’s alright we enjoyed it. Another banger video 👌
GUINEA PIG, LOL! That deserves a like.
Jeep owners HATE this one acronym. 😂
@@EngineeringExplained Ahh so Jeep owners are called SNOWFLAKE because " a little snow flake symbol on the tire (Goodyear Jeep Wrangler Duratrac tires) .... the snow flake gives it a true traction tire classification"
Ah I see you are evolving your presentation of cars, well done my friend, excellent job!
This script is incredible lmao genuinely making me laugh out loud
You are absolutely correct about the Ford Engineers. I am a 35 year FORD Parstsman and from what I have seen, I am convinced that they are constantly trying to impress each other and prove to the world how inventive and intelligent they are. This is the reason that we now have about Eight totally different Fuses and fuse panels. I really enjoyed this presentation. Well done and very informative. Thank you
That MPG tho, i get that while towing a 15ft camper in my F150 💀
Hahaha, sounds right. Okay to be fair though, I didn't get 15 mpg like Car and Driver when I drove it. I got... 16 mpg. 😩
@@EngineeringExplained they really need to make at least a plug in hybrid version of this vehicle
Put 35s on your f150 and see what you get lol my Silverado got 13.4mpg
@@andrewwilkey6195 I'd rather keep my tires and pay less for fuel. Money is better spent on things I enjoy.
@@amirmograbi yeah I ordered the bronco badlands with 33s it gets like 19mpg big upgrade from my 13 😂
Honestly you've changed my entire opinion on this vehicle
I bet he singlehandedly just sold 40 broncos. Ford owes him some kickback dollars.
My friend was a tech at Ford for years.
He said they would have ten 3.5L ecoboosts come in with issues for every 2.7L. He said they're pretty reliable, for the most part.
I LOVE the tongue-in-cheek nature of this episode! It was hilarious to watch and I learned a few new things about the new Bronco!
I could barely keep up with all the jokes. Amazing stuff, Jason. When's your stand up tour? :)
The Bronco is definitely a winner and one of the best new vehicles on the market rn💪🏼
I really really want one
My favorite video yet haha. I drove my dad’s manual 82 Bronco in high school. He still has it and wants the new one. It’s such a fun beast.
Right on! We had an '89 (I think) Bronco II haha. One of the first vehicles I drove.
@@EngineeringExplained How cool! I still feel bad for my old man having to teach a teenager how to drive his pride and joy haha. He’s allowed to drive my Challenger anytime now, thats a given lol. Broncos are amazing trucks. Im so happy to see them make a return and embrace what made them great. The modular capabilities are a fantastic idea.
Thanks for the reply and all of the amazing content! Have a fantastic weekend!
I love how hard he leaned on the soccer mom trope, I knew as soon as I saw this thing and it’s price and weight that it wasn’t going to be overwhelming trails all over the country
Interesting, so in other words Bronco's destroy ❄️'s. Excellent!
The Colorado ZR2 had IFS and the selectable lockers before the bronco :)
So did the H3 and Landcruiser, which could also be had with a V8!
The real winners will be the enthusiasts who buy the tricked out mall crawlers for cheap and turn them into serious off roaders and overlanders. I have yet to see a brand new truck out on the trails where I go. If I do they are usually parked off the access road having a camp fire. Nothing wrong with that of course but you can get to those spots in a Dodge Caravan with a load of wood in the back.
Personally I wheel a 1990 Isuzu Trooper with 33's a lift and ARB lockers. No sad faces if I bend up a few body panels. 👍
@@geoffmooregm I couldn't agree more! I do see a lot more Tacos and 4runners out on the trails than i used to. They are getting pretty popular.
Hey Isuzu brother! Love a 1st gen with an ARB bumper! My first trooper was an 88 and I have a 98 now - 33s with a diff drop in the front, ARB bumper with 12k lb winch, and best of all the Alpine Eaton M62 supercharger! I have videos of it on my channel
Many vehicles had that before the Bronco or Colorado.
We've had ours for 1 whole day. In love with it too!
So well done, had me laughing and in awe how amazing this is
One of your best videos. Love the humor!
Really informative but at the same time fun video to watch! Perfect review
The Guinea Pig joke earned my like lol
Guinea Pig is my new favorite acronym! Makes total sense.
Really enjoyed this one!! I want one now, just to head out to Starbucks with it =D
Great Saturday morning video:) I spent almost a year obsessively configuring my Bronco online until the reality of massive delays became apparent. I suddenly realized a Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro was just as good for Starbucks runs;)
you win the comment section
You got me with the joke about taking your toolkit to the mall and removing the parts you need from the nearest Bronco haha.
Good review. This vehicle was well thought out. Time will tell how much the well thought out part of it is changed and how long the powertrain will last. There are those that abuse everything.
You can't have everything in a vehicle, and gas mileage is one of those things. You want gas mileage, buy an economy vehicle!
Thank you for this video.
You broke my heart!!!
And ruined my day...
You are evil!!!
I will have nightmares after this clip!!!
I already have tears in my eyes!!!
I want a broncoooo !!!😭😭😭
Hahaha - great YAY acronym btw
@@EngineeringExplained Jason gets one hundredth of a percent on every Bronco sale
Nice video 👍I just appreciate the fact that you take your time to educate your viewers. I learn alot from you . And I am glad to be a subscriber on your channel that way I never miss out the good stuffs.
greetings here I'm a huge fan of earning more money, and I think everyone should have a side hustle. side hustling can allow you to earn that little bit of extra money that can help you achieve your financial goals faster - whether it's paying off student loans or saving for retirement.
True actually, we all know that successful people don't become victorious overnight. What most people see as a glance wealth, a great career purpose is the results of hard work and hustle over time. I pray that anyone reading this will be successful in life.
Lots of people have become successful through the crypto market
@@user-dt2oh3yl6w Speaking of crypto trading, it's the best business in the world right now. Because I know a couple of friends who make a whole lot of money trading the financial market.
NEVER LOSS?... I sincerely doubt when I see such things like 100% WIN strategy, Crypto trading is very technical, involves carefulness and great IQ... I wonder doing that with no losses or I will say only a professional trader/broker can do that.
Nowadays, there are lots of brokers and to find one, it most be online, retail, trusted and reliable. So please how can I find a professional broker to trade with?
Great video! We just got our new 2 door Bronco First Edition in lightning blue and love it! I know we could easily flip it for way more than we paid, but it’s just too good to give up! Ford knocked it out of the park! 🔥💯
Excellent and entertaining! I've watched innumerable videos on the new Bronco and this is by far the best in my humble opinion.
Jeep owners be worried (I have a Power Wagon) Stelantis can take some features from this Bronco, Ford absolutely crushed it for the first try.
Big items I like and wish mine had would be the independent lockable diffs. Id love to lock the front only, currently i have to lock both and be in lo range.
The 2nd big item is the modular construction, that should be a huge marketing feature! Damage a panel and simply swap it out.
I find it odd that its soo heavy and it could be a big drawback in mud.
Bravo! Leave it to Ford for bringing forth yet another extremely well thought out product! Ford has got to have the most forward-thinking and innovative engineering teams in the entire automotive industry.
Yet they forgot one of the most useful things in a vehicle... Fuel tank capacity.
@@javilink7 or a diesel option.
Lol you mean they did a good job copying Jeep.
I'm sure they would let you blow the whole team in person if you came to Detroit
Just the right amount of wit combined with valuable information - from a fellow engineer. Keep it up man!
The Kelly Clarkson joke. Smood but effective xD
I just saw a Bronco irl for the first time today
I'm just saying, I've never seen a bronco slither up an actively running waterfall.
I haven't seen one driving on lava, either, and I'd call it terrain!
This is by far my favorite comedy skit in the world. You were absolutely hilarious this entire video.
"Detect sarcasm, don't steal, be nice"
Setting a bit of a high bar there, aren't you?
Dude got jokes.
Wish they included lights that were higher than regular lights 😂
360 degrees 💡
Genuinely useful and well thought out PIG, now I definitely want one, lol!
Would love to see you get one of these and lightly mod it up for a long term review
Yo!! From down in Australia 🇦🇺!
Thoroughly enjoyed this video mate, was very informative with probably the best "bad" humour ive ever heard 😅.
So thankyou, lots of love ❤ 😅
This looks like fun for people that can afford it and the high maintenance cost.
Fun episode. Just one critique: light bars actually have multiple advantages over headlights.
1. They are mounted up higher, so they are less likely to get muddy or damaged on terrain.
2. They are mounted high (wait, did I just say that?) This offers you a different angle of lighting which can give you a better perspective on the terrain.
3. They are often far brighter than regular headlights, yes even highbeams.
4. They can easily be pointed in any direction, giving you excellent lighting in all directions.
5. They look cool 😎
Sarcasm is hard for some people
A Bronco vs Rivian would be an awesome followup!
The blend of sarcasm and admiration in this video was top notch
Awesome... Already have mine Pre-ordered lol. So glad they they have the sasquatch package in a manual for 2022!
You should go review a 2010 Hummer H3T with the adventure package, if you can find one, many of the features you described were in the Hummer 11 years ago before Jeep and Ford. But today I'll stick to my Jeep Rubicon. I have the 2 door version, it's small for maneuvering trails meaning I have several lines to choose from and with the 2.0l engine I average around 26mpg for on road driving. Last but not least the auto aftermarket is enormous. The aftermarket business for Jeep has been around since the 1940s. It's still possible today to buy parts for an original Willys Jeep. But this is a good video and a fair assessment.
The extra weight of these over an F150 is partially due to full size trucks don't have the same crash standards as a passenger vehicle. Adding cabin crash protection to a four door vehicle adds a lot of weight. Full size trucks have a solid frame for protection.
I always enjoy your sense of humor when discussing vehicles, but this was a gold mine of snark and I applaud you sir.
That is the absolute opposite use case for a front locker!
Never lock only the front when climbing up a snowy object. In that scenario where the static coefficient of friction is crazy higher than the moving COE there is a very high likelihood that loosing traction with one wheel will cause the vehicle to slip in the direction of the wheel with limited traction. The wheel that still has grip will induce a torque on the nose of vehicle causing it to rotate, which can induce a sideways slide. An open front diff while climbing up an icy slope means that the wheel that stays in traction will be limited by the wheel not in traction, preventing this nosing over due to torque. Open, Rear locked, or all 4 locked, all work in snow and ice. Front locked? In my opinion thats sketchy and has very different uses.
How do I know? I use these mechanics a lot in my outdoors fun. Offroad I use the front locker by itself to do exactly this type of slip on tight turns in snow and ice. This allows me to put the nose of the vehicle up on the side of the mountain trail I'm on, and spin the wheels to allow it to migrate over, allowing me to finish my turn and back down, successfully reversing my direction on the narrow 4x4 trails I drive.
Very good information and detailed.
As a mechanic I'm not a fan of turbos, as they tend to break down prematurely and another trip to auto repair shop. All this first generation electronics would worry me. Time will tell.
Most people don't follow the basic guidelines to not ruining your turbo
Your comedy writer needs a raise!
Hahaha, that guy rarely shows up! (I'm the writer)
Very good video! Kept me entertained and informed. And I see Ford did it's job in the "one up" category of the Wrangler. Quick remove parts, 6 Aux switches, etc. Great amenities for the average, go out a few times off roader. Great video though! Love the channel!
"Yes, yes it was a great deal, I get it."
I feel personally attacked.
Independent suspension or not, still doesn’t stack up to the Citroën 2cv suspension. There can be only one god.
Especially when there is a carton of eggs to transport! No second chances🤣
The script for this video is nothing short of magnificent.
WOW thanks that was a fun video to watch! On the downside there's a lot of systems to fail LOL but that is one incredible vehicle!
This thing is so much bigger and heavier than the Wrangler. And no, it's not a good thing.
And most Broncos sold will probably be the 4-door version, same is true of the Jeep Wrangler. Long wheelbase is the enemy of off road capability.
Trail turn assist is a great way to tear up (aka DESTROY) your favorite trails. Clever feature, but terrible for the land.
Hahahahahaha good one
Right, because 4x4ing is already so gentle on the environment
This has to be one of my favourite videos of yours. So good 😂
I would like to know this guy's education and background. He's brilliant and explains things so well. I have a BS in Physics and I feel like I'm in a lecture again, but with a cool teacher. Love the content
As a jeep owner, I gotta give FORD one for the crawler gear in the transmission, but all the electronics and drive assist seem like a great way to get someone in way over their heads.
Oh come on man most of the ppl that buy these have no problems getting in way oer their head without the electronics lol.
Rack and pinion and ifs are a big negative for durability when actually wheeled hard
Wranglers do too...unless you upgrade the entire suspension
Nothing like a bent 30 front axle to convince owners after going over some curbs in a parking lot HHa
Uh huh ... a mule is even better.
Loved the range from a Kelly Clarkson joke to a "Ain't No Mountain High" lyric 👏🏽👏🏽
My jeep is for the winter. Getting through that snow for 4-5 months is awesome.
It's like someone actually thought about everything, then designed the vehicle. I'd really like one but I'm waiting for the design to improve or grow on me. Also wondering how these will hold up in the rust belt. All the mud that gets caked everywhere underneath usually causes rust. I find it impossible to completely clean my 4runner. Wouldn't it be great if they had a built in rinse system you could just hook a garden hose to? Maybe pressurize it some how? Wonder if a rust proof aluminum frame is possible? Of course we all know one of the main features of a jeep is the fast forming rust everywhere, so if doubt we'll see this from them
@@wojtek-33 I have the roller that has 5 sprayers that shoot up. Doesn't get everything. Also worried about electronics
Not that it proves anything, but that big puddle at 9:35 (and shown elsewhere in the video) is actually a salt bath for testing.
Just needs the Japanese reliability and this would be the near perfect apocalypse vehicle
You don't need Japanese reliability when you can just steal from someone else's car!
Or during an apocalypse I can just take your Japanese reliable car and dump your body somewhere 😏
I've been a Costco member since 2003. You're bang-on! I feel called out. 😅
Loved all the humor in this one. Also love the Bronco, a lot. If I only had the need for one. 3rd car? haha
Can’t wait to see the reliability of it in 3 years lol
It's the same platform that has been used all over the globe for the last 10 years. I've got 2019 Ranger and Bronco is on the same frame
Can't be worse than Fiat/Jeep!
I wouldn't rely on tech to go off road.I prefer good old mecanic!
One pedal control sounds interesting. We used to just double foot it, but it's nice having your left foot to push your tush back into the seat
Gets worse mileage than my old 454 Chevy truck no thanks
