I really enjoyed this video. Entertaining, informative, great video and production. I never saw these guys before, but will definitely seek them out.

Are people actually complaining about the tops creaking on the Bronco as much as they noted? Haven’t heard much of this aside from people inappropriately not re-latching or locking things back correctly?!

I do like these guys, enough info without turning into a spec sheet race. A worthy YouTube reviewer channel.(y)
That roof comment jumped out at me too. I haven’t read much about that or heard about that from others; hopefully it was just a roof panel wasn’t latched properly, or they (somehow) installed the panels incorrectly.

Dammit, I kinda liked how Area 51 looks in this vid.

Repeat “do not change order” 3 times. Phew! They was close
I know what you mean. I switched from A51 to CG recently for my WT. The temptation to switch again is strong sometimes.

That video was actually a lot of fun! I’ve never seen them but I enjoy their humor and sarcasm. Good stuff. At the end of the day both these vehicles are ridiculously bad ass. Broncos has more up to date gadgets and the better road manners which we already knew. We all win because now we have 2 super cool off road cars to choose from.

That video was a well-shot, knowledgeable and fair comparison. Not entirely apples to apples given the trims and options but overall great. I know it will come as a disappointment to some on here who want the Bronco to demolish the Wrangler - and to those Jeepers who want to deny the excellence of the Bronco - but these are both absolutely outstanding vehicles. Ford brought their A game and Jeep has nothing to be ashamed of. I do think it's evident in this review just how Ford really sought to check every box vs. Wrangler. Better on road experience, bigger/more comfortable, unobstructed open air, great off-road. The Bronco isn't as laser-focused on being a traditionally great off-roader as I think the Wrangler is though. Maybe bigger/more comfortable becomes a little too big off road, too much tech (as opposed to old-school floor shift 4wd). That's my takeaway, anyway.
It seemed a pretty fair comparison - and matches with my expectations. The Bronco is going to be the better overall vehicle for most people, while the Wrangler is still going to have some advantages in a few places. Totally fair.

I'm really interested in how Jeep will respond to the on-road ride quality issue. That's where the Bronco appears to really decimate the Wrangler, and it's also where 95%+ of the Wranglers and Broncos purchased are going to spend the majority of their time.

Finally a review that was unbiased! I enjoyed it. As far as the creaking top, our JLU freedom panels squeak constantly. Not shocked the Bronco does as well. One thing I am glad I am not hearing about is tailgate rattles. Even with proper support and mounting our JLU tailgate rattles with a 35" tire. I hope there are audio options to combat the Jeep design for overhead speakers. Id rather have the open air but it is nice having sound directly over your head. Especially with the top off. The B&O is OK but you do notice the acoustics are very different due to speaker placement. This review off road is where Ford aimed at the Jeep I think. Moderate off road.

This was one of my favorite reviews done. Not a ton of new information but the entertainment value was way beyond any other review. Followed closely by those TFL guys.

Well, the first 30 seconds has them using the "bottle opener" by smashing bottles on it. Hillarious, and I'm in for the rest!
I had trouble getting past the bottle opener scene. It almost made me close the browser. I guess humor is subjective? The rest of the video was okay.

As big a negative as I've heard some people on this forum make Jeep's sound bar out to be (not saying you are, I'm just speaking in general), I've never once had someone in the back seat of one of my Jeeps say it was an issue. I've also sat back there and I don't get the complaints. Maybe it's more just the perception of a flaw since Ford is pointing to its absence in the Bronco as a big plus. From the driver's perspective, I'd rather have the sound bar IF audio quality in the Bronco is in fact an issue and a consequence of no overhead sound bar.
