5 reasons to switch Watch Here

Hopefully I’m posting this in the correct place. I Put together a little perspective/ comparison video of reason I like the bronco over both my current Toyotas. I’ve had the opportunity to attend several Bronco events, do several ride alongs, played around in literally every model now. I’ve seen them up close and personal on and off road in Moab, Johnson Valley, & Tennessee and the million dollar question that’s seems to keep hitting my inbox is .. “How do you like it compared to your Toyota’s?”
so these are my thoughts 🤷‍♂️ Hopefully this answer it a little

I agree with all you said however, you will be spending $15-20K on the Bronco as well. More lift, 37s, bumpers, it adds up.

Obviously the 2.7 is going to have that power, but can you describe that 2.3 Manual ride you experienced? That hill climb in one of your videos looked legit.

Totally agree every user is different. I do lots of cross country stuff so as it sits is ideal for me. I’ll stay at 35s upgrade suspension dampening to handle a little more load but that’s about it for my application.

It was definitely impressive and NOT expected at all to say the least! That unit had 33s on it so I’d was substantially more impressive than my geared taco and 4 rnr are on 33s by a long shot!

It looked like it held its own! Can’t wait to get mine down to Port A!
