2021 Bronco Reviews Embargo Has Lifted! [Compilation Thread] 🚨

[bdub2you]

TFL breaking out the cellphone and ANNOUNCING THAT JEEP IS ALSO DOING BIG TIRES before it was public on camera (embargo delay but still) is a giant eye raising moment as far as impartiality is concerned.

After what they did to ford earlier , and then the first time they take it off road they essentially use it to advertise for the competition becuase of a text message from the CEO of jeep??

pretty radically unprofessional

That was funny and it showed just how intertwined with Jeep TFL really is. TFL did basically the same thing during their TFL talk bronco show last week too where Roman kept jumping in with "but Jeep will have that too" comments. Not to mention that the Xtreme package they announced isn't available on all trims like Ford is offering, so you're still unable to get rear or front lockers on any trim except Rubicon. Not much of a announcement really.

That Tommy guy on TFL was bragging that the trail Ford had was easy, from the passenger's seat... while Andre was actually putting the thing on 3 wheels.

@JDisFlip, doing God’s work, my friend. Thanks!

You are welcome

I can't wait to reference their review when I take my Bronco down the Tail of the Dragon

Ha, I had the same thought as I hope to be driving mine down the Dragon on the way home from SAC in a few weeks. You think it'll drift if I hot wire the rear locker?

Plus Tommy the passenger was distracting Andre who was actually enjoying himself. It is like having someone trying to start up a conversation about the great the Ferris wheel is at Cedar Point when you are trying to enjoy the Maverick Roller Coaster.

@JDisFlip thank you for putting the list together.

No prob.

Was going to go to sleep (I work afternoons) and decided to watch some youtube before sleep ... then there was all these vids; put them in a post after I watched one and went to sleep.

All positive, no negatives

Well not quite. I read a lot of the reviews with these negatives-

Brakes mushy, long travel then overly grippy
2.3 is under powered on hills and highway passing
Most don't like the gauges
All don't like the gas mileage. As low as 15 MPG
Some don't like the looks of the 4dr
Back seats are not comfortable on any model
Expensive except base


Not anything that's a deal breaker for me as there are many positives that out weigh any negatives.

All I really care about is the 7 speed.

Savage Geese said the combo is a dog.

Motorweek said it’s like a sports car.

which is it?

X2. Need moar reviews of the 7spd! I wonder if Ford is gonna change the gearing for the ManSquatch in 22’. Jeep recently announced 4.88 as a 22’ option which will give them a 100:1 crawl ratio with their manual. Ford doesn’t like to be outdone...I’d like to see 4.88s paired with the ManSquatch but I’m not holding my breath

where is iJustine's YouTube review? I don't trust these white men doing 'reviews' staying at ultra luxury ranch paid by Ford.

At least they know how to drive.

 

[Corsair]

The only video I'm waiting for is TFL

I think they did a good job with theirs, except for the running out of battery part.

i read handful of the reviews, most say mic top is noisy at freeway speeds, even with sound deadner, but you can still talk with a normal voice to hear someone. back seat uncomfortable, hard, and not that deep. 0-60 numbers still unknown ford told them < 6 sec. these were ford controlled reviews, we wont know the real truth until the reviewers get there own vehicle to test for real 0-60 numbers.

My 2013 Escape handles 3 wheel driving pretty well.

I realize it now. It would get some journalists unfair advantages if they hurry and dropped their review before everyone else. I’m just being critical because they’re all pretty much saying the exact same thing and leaving out the 0-60. Ya ya it’s an off road vehicle. 95% of people are going to daily this and having passing/merging power is a deal breaker for me.

i’m coming from Honda CRV. Anything has more power than that. I’ll take it.

What year?

 

[TyGuy40]

What year?

2018. 0-60 in like 9 + seconds.
