While we wait for the new Ford Bronco Raptor, we’ll take a look at the new 2021 Bronco. The 2021 Ford Bronco is without a doubt the hottest off-road SUV of the year. But, is it better than a Jeep Wrangler? Now, I didn’t take the Ford Bronco off-road since I’m not an avid off-roader but I give you a deep drive into how the new Bronco 2021 feels on-road.

But there is no doubt that the new Ford Bronco 2021 is taking the automotive industry by storm.

0.15 -> - I've waited quite a few months to test this one out here,

2.49 -> but hey, we've all waited 25 years

4.85 -> for this vehicle to make a real comeback.

6.59 -> My name is Omar, and this is the 2021 Ford Bronco.

28.49 -> So this here is the real Bronco,

30.25 -> the true truck based off-roading one,

32.21 -> not the tiny Bronco sport that's based on the Ford escape.

35.47 -> By the way, if you're new to my channel,

37.36 -> make sure you hit like, make sure you hit subscribe.

39.58 -> I drop a new car review every week,

41.62 -> so you don't want to miss out.

42.9 -> But yeah, the Jeep Wrangler has gone unchallenged

45.01 -> for far too long. There was nothing really out there

46.9 -> that offered you strong offered capability

49.27 -> at a somewhat affordable price tag until now.

52 -> The new Bronco is really

53.01 -> the first true Jeep Wrangler competitor

55.07 -> and it's taken the automotive industry by storm.

57.37 -> There is so much hype around the new Bronco.

60.12 -> Everyone has been talking about it

61.55 -> ever since it made its debut,

63.27 -> which leads me to believe that even people

65.25 -> that don't do any kind of off-roading, like me,

68.24 -> are interested in buying one.

69.63 -> That said, how has the new Ford Bronco on-road

71.87 -> as a daily driver? Well,

73.08 -> if you want a comfortable on-road daily driver,

75.31 -> the Bronco that you want to go for is the base trim,

78.23 -> the big bend or the outer banks.

80.46 -> Those will offer you tech, comfort and convenience.

82.59 -> However, I can't speak to how those drive

84.38 -> because I haven't driven any of those.

86.14 -> The one I'm driving here,

87.33 -> is the black diamond with the Sasquatch package.

89.39 -> The black diamond is actually your first entry

92.01 -> into the heavy-duty off-road lifestyle

94.27 -> that the Bronco has to offer.

95.75 -> And the Sasquatch package makes it

97.31 -> an even tougher off-road capable SUV

99.42 -> with these giant 35 inch mud terrain tires.

102.55 -> Think of it as a Wrangler Rubicon.

104.58 -> Ford has done something very interesting,

106.41 -> no matter which Bronco you go for,

107.74 -> you can add on the Sasquatch package

109.75 -> and be ready to do some top-level off-roading.

111.84 -> Unlike the Wrangler where you really have to step up

113.67 -> to the Rubicon, and even though,

115.53 -> I haven't tested the big bend or the outer banks,

117.93 -> the more on-road friendly ones,

119.9 -> I'm pretty sure they're outstanding

121.5 -> when it comes to daily drivability. Why?

124.14 -> Because the black diamond Sasquatch that I'm driving here

126.45 -> is pretty nice to drive on road unlike the Wrangler,

129.26 -> which starts shaking and requires a lot of steering inputs,

131.93 -> especially if you're going above 60 miles an hour.

134.18 -> The Bronco on the other hand, just cruises along.

136.01 -> I'm going to about 60 miles an hour right now,

137.58 -> I've hit 85 in this thing.

139.59 -> And I have to say this thing is 10 times more stable

142.31 -> and more composed than the Wrangler Rubicon.

144.85 -> Heck, this is even more stable than the Wrangler Sahara.

147.75 -> The Bronco steering precision is leaps

149.76 -> and bounds better than that of the Wrangler

151.58 -> even on these giant 35 inch mud terrain tires.

154.53 -> Now, if you've seen my other videos,

155.7 -> you know that I'm not a diehard off-roading enthusiast,

157.89 -> I'm not going to dive deep into the off-road capabilities

160.6 -> of the Bronco,

161.433 -> but from the videos I've seen on YouTube

162.807 -> and the reviews that I've read,

164.28 -> this thing is pretty much on par with the Wrangler.

166.49 -> I've also read some other reviews where it says the Wrangler

168.56 -> is still a better off-roading SUV

170.44 -> and that's understandable because a Wrangler has been around

173.13 -> for years and years.

174.3 -> But as an on-road tough SUV,

176.14 -> the Bronco has a clear advantage.

177.91 -> So do I recommend buying the Bronco over the Wrangler?

181.09 -> Well, before I answered that,

182.07 -> let me give you a quick tour of the new Bronco.

184.52 -> Make sure you hit like, make sure you hit subscribe.

186.85 -> All right, let's do this.

188.52 -> All right, let's kick off this tour

189.7 -> by taking a look at some of the cool

191.18 -> and interesting things that you should know

192.48 -> about the new Ford Bronco.

194.33 -> All right, so to fully take on the Jeep Wrangler full on,

196.93 -> Ford has made sure

197.81 -> that you can have a complete open air experience

200.04 -> in the new Bronco. My test model here is the hard top

202.51 -> and it's pretty simple to remove,

203.74 -> you just pull these latches.

204.81 -> Each left and right side have three,

206.83 -> and then you just pull this latch and carry it off

208.89 -> it's pretty easy. Now the back roof also comes off,

211.36 -> you just unscrew some screws and bolts

213.13 -> and disconnect some wires. I'm by myself

215.55 -> so I'm not going to risk messing anything up here

218.1 -> since this is a two person job.

219.8 -> And of course the doors come off as well,

221.49 -> and they are frameless doors. And again,

223.55 -> I'm not going to do that either, but it is pretty simple.

226.3 -> You just disconnect some wires here that are connected

228.23 -> to your power windows, remove a few screws,

230.37 -> and then you just lift by putting your hand right here

233.59 -> where it says lift. But yeah,

234.66 -> the new Bronco looks really awesome with the roof

236.67 -> and the doors removed,

237.82 -> kind of better than the Jeep Wrangler.

239.36 -> Interesting thing here is that the side view mirrors

241.35 -> aren't connected to the doors, reason being,

243.25 -> if you remove the doors,

244.3 -> you can still keep your side view mirrors.

246.13 -> Unlike the Jeep Wrangler, where you take off the doors,

248.38 -> your mirrors will go along with them.

250.01 -> And since you can take the doors off,

251.76 -> all your window controls

253.27 -> and your side view mirror controls

255.03 -> are placed right here next to the armrest.

257.1 -> All right, next up, let's talk tech really quick,

258.76 -> starting off with this cage cluster.

260.3 -> It's half analog, half digital. It's very,

262.79 -> very informative and packed with some off-roading pages

265.82 -> for when you need them.

266.84 -> But the coolest thing here is

267.72 -> that as you circled through your goat modes

269.54 -> or your go over any terrain modes,

271.63 -> you'll see some really, really cool animations.

274.22 -> I really like when automakers spend time and effort

276.77 -> in making something as simple as changing drive modes,

279.51 -> a full-on experience. Now let's talk infotainment.

281.84 -> Mostly all Broncos comes standard

283.68 -> with an eight inch touchscreen display

285.02 -> that houses the SYNC 4 infotainment system.

287.23 -> You do get Apple CarPlay and Android auto as standard.

290.04 -> And if you want, you can upgrade

291.28 -> to that massive 12 inch touchscreen display

293.44 -> as a part of the high package,

294.93 -> which I believe is only available on the outer banks

297.93 -> and above. It will cost you $1,295.

302.2 -> But yeah, overall, it's pretty easy to use,

304 -> very quick, free of glitches, but I would definitely upgrade

306.67 -> to the 12 inches because it looks much cooler.

309.14 -> Now you obviously have some Easter eggs all over

311.13 -> the new Bronco, so let's check them out.

312.53 -> One of my personal favorite ones is right here under

314.93 -> the front fenders.

316.37 -> In the fender liner you'll see the words, "lift me, baby!",

319.4 -> because four knows that off-road hers will want to go taller

323.02 -> and higher. Pop up in the fuel door,

324.84 -> you'll see three generations of the Bronco right here.

327.59 -> Each model with the Sasquatch package

329.61 -> actually has a tiny Sasquatch on the model badge.

332.63 -> You've got a hidden Bronco right here in the headlamps.

334.83 -> In the cargo area, you'll see some tie down loops

337.03 -> and each one of them has a small lasso printed on them.

339.93 -> That's really cool. And right in the middle,

341.89 -> you'll see a giant Bronco logo.

343.91 -> Also in the cargo area, you'll see a Bronco

346.21 -> between the two cargo lights. Up in the front,

348.55 -> you have this badge right here designed

350.21 -> and engineered in Dearborn, Michigan,

352.29 -> which actually matches the front design of the Bronco.

354.68 -> Here on the roll bar, you'll see some mountains

356.99 -> and some coordinates that point to Bronco overlook

359.42 -> in Johnson valley, California.

361.13 -> Almost all of the nuts

362.07 -> and bolts have Bronco printed on them.

363.88 -> And then, like on the Wrangler,

365.24 -> you'll see a Ford Bronco silhouette

366.85 -> on the air recirculation button right here.

368.93 -> You'll also see it on the features button

370.7 -> on the screen, right here on the goat modes

373.09 -> and the hood release latch with the hood actually open.

375.97 -> But my favorite one is right here on the traction button

378.43 -> with the spare tire and everything. That's really cool.

380.9 -> Also the start stop button is in a shape identical

383.58 -> to that of the headlights. All right,

385.15 -> now let's get into the pricing details for the new Bronco.

387.31 -> The base two-door models starts at $29,300.

391.03 -> And then you can go all the way up

392.24 -> to the Bronco wild track four-door for $49,475.

397.3 -> My test model here is a two door black diamond,

399.51 -> and that starts at $36,450, but after a few options,

403.87 -> you're looking at a final price tag of $47,990,

408.4 -> which is pretty up there considering

409.82 -> how basic it is inside this cabin.

411.59 -> Now since the Bronco is an off-roading focused SUV,

414.4 -> each trim offers you different levels

416.27 -> of off-roading capability.

417.56 -> The black diamond is where you want to start

419.29 -> if you're a true off-roading enthusiasts

421.18 -> that likes some serious adventures in your life.

423.55 -> The base Bronco and the big bend Bronco

425.5 -> are more for your everyday daily driving

427.76 -> and then the badlands and the wildtrack trims

429.85 -> are where you want to be if you're into

431.88 -> the extreme off-roading lifestyle.

433.42 -> Now, depending on the trim you get,

435.11 -> there's not much standard that you get with the Bronco.

437.65 -> You do get that eight inch touchscreen display

439.31 -> that houses a SYNC 4 infotainment system,

440.99 -> with Apple CarPlay and Android auto.

442.86 -> And again, you can upgrade that to 12 inches.

444.76 -> Other than that, you just have a digital instrument display,

447.38 -> goat modes which range from five to eight depending

449.94 -> on the model you get, mine has seven.

451.56 -> So yeah, it is pretty basic.

453.09 -> So if you're expecting things like leather trim seats

455.22 -> that are heated or a heated steering wheel,

457.1 -> you're going to have to step up a few trims

458.84 -> and add on some packages.

460.36 -> That said you have a total of four packages to pick from,

462.45 -> including mid, high, lux

464.41 -> and the off-road focus Sasquatch package.

466.6 -> Sasquatch is optional on every trim of the Bronco except

469.5 -> the first edition and the wildtrack.

471.17 -> It'll cost you a total of $4,200,

473.81 -> but it will give you 17 inch black high gloss wheels

477.06 -> that are wrapped in these massive 35 inch mud terrain tires.

480.66 -> It'll give you a 4.7 final drive ratio

482.97 -> with an electronic locking front and rear axle,

485.64 -> and it will give you higher ground clearance,

487.53 -> wider fender flares, Bilstein shock absorbers,

490.26 -> and much more. As for power,

492.05 -> my test model here is powered

493.27 -> by a 2.7 liter EcoBoost V6 pumping out 330 horsepower

498.62 -> and 415 pound feet of torque.

501.02 -> And that's made it to a 10 speed automatic transmission.

503.48 -> The base engine is a 2.3 liter four-cylinder EcoBoost

506.51 -> and it still makes it pretty impressive 300 horsepower

508.99 -> and 325 pound feet of torque. Also,

511.75 -> the four-cylinder is the only engine option

514.1 -> where you can get a seven speed manual transmission

516.4 -> Zero to 60 for the 2.7 liter EcoBoost comes in

519.46 -> at just 6.3 seconds, which is pretty impressive.

522.52 -> And you have a top speed of 106 miles an hour.

525.68 -> Now, as far as fuel economy goes,

527.08 -> the two door four wheel drive Sasquatch gets 17 city

530.03 -> and 17 highway.

531.48 -> You have a fuel tank capacity of 16.9 gallons.

534.69 -> I'm averaging after a few days of driving

536.44 -> a total of 17.5 miles a gallon. As for drive modes,

540.42 -> you're working with normal, eco, sport

543.77 -> and then you have slippery, mud/ruts, sand and rock crawl.

550.78 -> All right, let's talk about the exterior design

552.25 -> for a little bit. In my opinion, Ford definitely killed it

554.65 -> when it came to combining the retro look

556.62 -> with the more modern appeal.

558.09 -> To me the Bronco definitely looks better

559.75 -> than the Jeep Wrangler

560.583 -> and many of you out there on the internet agree.

562.55 -> It just has a more brawny and a tough appearance

564.69 -> with a very aggressive stance.

566.18 -> And like I mentioned before,

567.2 -> you can take off all the doors and the roof

569.09 -> and really have an open air experience

570.87 -> and with all those parts off, this thing looks even better.

573.81 -> I do want to point out something though,

575.2 -> if you're thinking of buying the Bronco

576.76 -> and want it to look as tough as the one I have here,

579.18 -> you definitely have to add on the Sasquatch package.

581.87 -> Because without that, it looks pretty much like

583.76 -> a normal SUV, the Sasquatch package gives it

586.17 -> a lot of character. Oh, and by the way,

588.23 -> if you want that cool looking led strip that connects into

591.13 -> the Bronco logo on the front you'll have to start building

593.92 -> at the outer banks trim or above.

595.76 -> Now, before we hop inside,

596.81 -> let's check out the cargo capacity.

598.16 -> You can pop the trunk by using this handle right here.

600.37 -> And once you get it open,

601.31 -> you have a total of 23.6 cubic feet behind the second row.

604.75 -> And with the second row folded,

605.96 -> you're looking at 52.3 cubic feet, so it's not bad.

609.13 -> Now let's take a seat inside the new Bronco.

610.66 -> And if you're expecting this interior

612.18 -> to completely blow you away in terms of quality

614.81 -> and luxury, you're going to be a little disappointed.

617.02 -> And that's because like the Wrangler,

618.34 -> the Bronco is off-road focused.

619.88 -> So they have kept everything in here very basic,

622.96 -> so it's easier to clean. Nonetheless, at this price tag,

625.77 -> I would have expected some more creature comforts,

628.34 -> but it is just pretty basic.

630.08 -> I know there's a lot of hype around the Bronco

631.67 -> and everyone is excited to see it come back

633.52 -> but make sure you really sit in one

635.46 -> and feel around because you might not like

637.62 -> what you're expecting.

638.46 -> Honestly, my favorite part about the interior

639.99 -> has to be the auxiliary switches,

641.49 -> kind of feels like you're getting ready to take off

643.96 -> in a fighter jet. To get into the second row,

645.93 -> you just pull this latch right here

646.857 -> and the front seat will slide forward,

648.84 -> giving you a way to get in.

650.58 -> And once you get back there,

651.413 -> you have 35.7 inches of leg room with two-door model

654.87 -> and 36.3 inches of leg room for the four-door model.

658.01 -> Both are pretty good when it comes to rear leg room.

660.91 -> Now, before I give you my opinion on whether or not

662.85 -> if you should buy the new Bronco,

664.33 -> let me put it a few random things

665.69 -> that we'll have to show all of you.

666.67 -> You have four cup holders,

668.01 -> two in the front for the front passengers,

670.24 -> and the rear passengers get a cup holder each

672.53 -> on the sides right down there.

674.72 -> Here are what the keys look like to the new Bronco,

676.96 -> nice little Bronco logo on the back. On the front,

679.17 -> not too much going on, lock, unlock panic button,

681.72 -> pretty simple. Door open and closed sound from the outside.

686.35 -> And from the inside. (door slams)

691.36 -> Not bad. You can get a wireless charger if you want,

693.94 -> but every Bronco comes standard with the USB-A port

696.93 -> and a USB-C port for the front passengers,

699.14 -> and the rear passengers also get a USB-A port

701.71 -> and a USB-C port. And finally,

703.52 -> let's do an indicator and horn sound test

705.62 -> here on the 2021 Ford Bronco. Indicator first.

712.93 -> Same old Ford indicator.

714.38 -> Now for the horn sound. (horn sounds)

717.14 -> Pretty. Freaking. Solid.

720.44 -> And now that I've given you a tour of the new Bronco,

722.14 -> let me give you my opinion on whether or not

723.94 -> if you should buy this over the Wrangler. And honestly,

726.43 -> I think I've already answered that question.

728.23 -> If you're looking for a tough SUV in this price segment

731.03 -> that's going to be a solid daily driver.

733.53 -> The Bronco is what you should go for.

735.28 -> Even if you're going to go off-roading every few months.

737.52 -> And even if that off-roading is of extreme level,

739.76 -> I think that Bronco is still your best bet.

742.07 -> It's not to say the Jeep Wrangler is bad in any way.

744.22 -> In fact, a part of me actually prefers

746.42 -> the interior of the Jeep Wrangler,

748.24 -> and that can simply be due to the fact

749.75 -> that I'm testing a lower trim of the Bronco right here,

752.2 -> but both are solid SUV's

753.94 -> and both will have a very fun battle in the years to come.

756.87 -> But for someone like me

757.83 -> that will be doing more on-road driving than off-roading,

761.12 -> the Bronco is the one. Either way,

763.07 -> thanks for watching. Make sure you hit subscribe.

764.9 -> Make sure you hit like.

766.11 -> Make sure you follow me on Instagram

767.47 -> and on Tik Tok, my handle is at @omardrives,

770.13 -> and if you enjoyed my content,

771.44 -> make sure you share it with your friends.

772.9 -> I'll catch you in the next one. Take care, peace.

777.26 -> All these offloading SUV's no matter what anybody says,

780.4 -> it's loud in here. I'm sure the higher end trim

783.15 -> have some better sound deadening but this,

785.796 -> it's is pretty loud in here.

787.31 -> The Wrangler is not, I don't notice any difference really.
