I know.. you warned us. I admit, I was hoping there
may be something of value in the video.. but I was delusional obviously.

When it comes to "Bronco" YouTube reviews, I start with mute on.

As Bronco YouTube videographers go, he actually may be a C- example. There are far worse out there, as hard as that may be to imagine. Even some of the professional ones paid for by Ford can be impossible to watch all the way through.

I think you are talking about the Bronco Sport (which confusingly is a completely different car, er, truck)

The regular Bronco (aka 2021 Bronco) is a lot bigger.

Here is a clip that helps with some perspective size wise. Just mute it (to miss the annoying breathless commentary) and skip ahead to get some different shots of the size with some human perspective.


Yep, you're right. I had no idea there were 2 versions.......so wow the 'Sport' is wimpy, wimpy, wimpy.

I believe the Bronco Sport is just an update to the Escape. Could be wrong. It’s a unibody car, meant to compete with the Jeep Cherokee. Which is just a Fiat car platform.

The “Bronco” (caffeinated version) is body on frame, aimed right squarely at the Wrangler.

Exactly right for the Sport.

the real thing is built on the Ranger platform, so much larger.

The point in picking the Ranger platform was to end up with an SUV that dropped dead on top of the Jeep Wrangler family in every respect. Looking at what Ford has come up with in the Bronco, at least on paper (and video), if I ran the Jeep division, I would be seriously concerned.

No worries. Jeep/the Wrangler will always have the market cornered for the 16-29 year-old girls.

I gotta be honest here. If I had the room in my garage, our third car would almost certainly be a Wrangler Rubicon. It is a pretty fun truck. We go up on 4x tracks and forest roads maybe 3 days a week. There is almost no place we go where we need half the capability that Jeep offers. In fact, for an old guy like me, if we actually need a sway bar disconnect and front locker, I am waaay over my head.

I would also say, 99%+ of all the people who own a Rubicon, never use half its capability.

95% of people who own a Rubicon never take them off road.:sunot:

Maybe not 95%, but a high percentage for sure. I think beyond the large percentage that never go off road, I think people get all caught up in how "serious" their off road rig is and want no holds barred, when in fact, even a Wrangler Sport will take most people 100% of the way they might have the nerve to go.

For those that really don't hold back and will go anywhere there is a really big challenge, the Rubicon (and like equipped Jeeps) really do deliver, but truth be told, with my two car garage, the leveled, trimmed air dam Yukon will have to do, and it does. :)
