2.3L Bronco 7 Speed Manual Review with 35″ MT Mud Terrain Tires

[NorthShoreBronco]

Well, a lot of you had questions about how the 2.3 Manual did with 35's installed. So I made a detailed video review. Hope this answers all the questions.

Ahhh New Brunswick! Not sure why I thought you were in Ontario, but the channel name makes a lot more sense now.

Great video as always.

I have a very similar Bronco on order--just four door instead of two door and with only the Mid package. I admittedly had some reservations about not going with the High or Lux package, but after watching a few of your videos, I honestly don't think I'd use the High or Lux features that often. Glad I opted to save the money to put towards other accessories I actually will use.

Good call! Yea, at first it was cool to have all the cameras, big screen and sensors... But now if I'd do it all over I'd get no package (with manual cause you don't get command start) and install my own heated seats.

Great video, thanks for the detailed analysis.

Gotta love the Tim Horton’s coffee, eh?

Last year I had just the standard package on my order. But thanks to the delays I was able to save up more than I expected so I switched to the Mid package.

Truthfully, I'm not sure if the Mid package is a good use of money, part of me wants to switch back to standard package. Intelligent Access is super nice--not having to fumble around in your pocket for a key fob in the winter when you're wearing gloves is awesome. And I could see myself using the rear power outlet from time to time.

But beyond that... meh... I can do without. Dual zone climate control I don't care about, the Navigation stuff I don't care about, and a lot of the Co-Pilot 360 stuff becomes super annoying in the snow or on roads that aren't well-maintained. I don't even really like heated seats all that much--although admittedly I've only ever owned vehicles with cloth seats, and I never sat in the vinyl seats on a cold day (I've heard leather and vinyl can be brutal in the winter).

Honestly the thing that tipped me over the edge towards the Mid package was compatibility with the FordPass Performance App. On the off-chance that Ford releases a really cool application, I didn't want to be stuck with the standard package that isn't compatible with the app.

Command start? What’s that?

Thanks for the vid! I am definitely sticking with the manual now. I am going back and forth on weather I "need" the cameras in the high package which is the only reason I opted for it over the mid package.

Love this guy and his Bronco. Your Bronco is beautiful!

One question -- are you going to get your windows tinted at some point? That would make it look killer with the black, imo.

Great video, well done and thanks for sharing.

Seriously. Is that remote start?
