moderately difficult.... :D

Why did you block out Landrover?

Any Toyota will get better gas mileage and reliability.

@@shoutingatclouds1050 Toyota's aren't exactly known for their fuel economy.

@@dedalliance1 the gas mileage of this Ford 4cyl is about the same as Toyota unless you can find ford 8 speed auto you can get 3 mpg more.

@@shoutingatclouds1050 I mean, things are expensive in any vehicle these days lol. I have a 2014 Chevy Cruze 2.0l turbo diesel, Some mice chewed up the vacuum tubes, $600 to fix it. Timing belt at 100k miles, like $1,600. Glow plug modular, like $500, tires, 1,000, I got quoted 1,600 to do brakes and rotors, I bought it all myself and did it still $500, granted I got nicer brakes. It's expensive to maintain any vehicle when you're paying 125-200 dollars an hour for labor and then whatever the parts cost. A Hybrid is gonna have its issues sure, just like a diesel will with emissions, and just like a turbo will with the turbos and intercoolers at some point and a N/A v8 is gonna just slowly nickel and dime you at 5-6 dollars a gallon for fuel lol. I also have a 2018 GMC SIerra 3500 crew cab long bed 4x4 with the 6.0l gasser, super reliable motor but after 45k miles of mixed use towing / not towing my trip meter that's never been reset since factory says I've averaged 10 mpg, actually it's like 9.8 but I round up. at 10 mpg over 45k miles is, 4,500 gallons of fuel, if we assume a world of $5 a gallon, that's $22,500 in fuel, more than half of what I paid for the truck brand new. If I drove 200k miles at those prices and same fuel consumption, it's 100k dollars in fuel, more than double what I paid for the truck. If you got 15 mpg instead of 10, it's 66.6k dollars, a savings of 33,000 dollars over 200k miles which is about the life of a good vehicle. You can replace a lot of turbos for the difference of 33k dollars and a lot of battery packs for that much money, also. And what if gas got to $10 a gallon? It is or at least close to it in a lot of European countries. You'd be talking the difference of 66k dollars. Moral of the story is it's all one half dozen or the other, you either pay for it in fuel, you pay for it in turbos, you pay for it in battery packs or you pay for it in diesel emissions equipment. Pick your poison. At least most handymen will be able to replace a turbo. Probably not a battery pack or diesel emissions though. Also as an example, I use a 2004 Chevy express cargo van 3500 for work, has the 6.0l in it gasser sitting at 336k miles it's been rebuilt at 300k miles though, but still original transmission. Now obviously gas prices have varied over the past 18 years, But lets assume for fun the new gas price average is gonna be 5 dollars just for easy math, if that van gets we'll be generous and say 15 mpg, over 336k miles it'd burn 22,400 gallons of fuel, or $112k dollars. If you could make that van run 20 mpg, it'd be 84k dollars in fuel. The difference of 28k dollars. 28k dollars buys a lot of turbos or battery packs or new engines or rebuilds. Now lets say you're Amazon, and you own probably half a million vans across the world. 28k dollars saved per van in fuel is 14 billion dollars. That's with a B. These companies both the ones building cars and the ones buying them for work understand just how much money fuel costs especially going forward as more and more Government tax fuel at higher rates and put more regulations around how to drill it and process it in an environmentally sustainable way, they understand fuel prices aren't coming down ever. The pandemic was a fluke but you can look at 100 years of prices it always goes up and it's always going to go up. Investing in technologies that get better fuel economy, like hybrids, small turbo engines, clean burning diesels (my diesel Cruze can push mid 50's on the highway) is going to pay off, even if reliability is hurt a little bit in the process. 10% hit in reliability, 20% fuel gains = 10% overall gain. I personally buy my vehicles with the thought of if the world ends tomorrow what's going to not brake down easily? Aside from the emission issues on my Cruze, I could overinflate the tires by about 30 psi, run at 55 mpg on a 15 gallon tank and push 900 miles out of it before having to refuel. 3 tanks of fuel I can go across the country to safety if I needed to without braking down. My truck would need its personal tanker trailer with fuel to manage that, but it's also very reliable as long as you don't wanna go very far if there's fuel shortages.

its a real bummer they didn't offer a 5.0 with a manual pairing. I'd bet my salary they couldn't keep them in stock anywhere.

@@hunterromano5562 sorry man unfortunately this isn’t the year 2005..lol..

I don’t know about that! If it’s the same engine my 2019 Ranger with a 2.3 L 4 cylinder engine, then the alternator is very low as well!! Trust me I know, I’m on my second Alternator already.

Because it's awkward

I dont think it will matter since its has forced induction with the turbo.

I agree I love it in my Ranger more..lol..

Why you coming after my pink sweatshirt 🥺

Mmmm salmon 🤤

Tommy is just before his time. A few hundred years ago pink was a mans color and blue was more of a womans color. Na thats not it.

Agree, however it’s pretty unlikely you will actually get your hands on one of these.

@@chris-gh4cd actually with the special wheels it’s likely you will get this before any badlands or wild track

@@christopherhicks5640 you’re still most likely not getting your hands on a bronco unless you preordered one or are willing to pay way more than what they’re worth

The trails they are running are heavily traveled and thus much wider than most trails in the upper peninsula. I'd like to see a 2 door Everglades version offered.

Are those trails in the video open to public?

I'm sure with the next coming models will have it. The bronco is good competition to push jeep to do different things

there are plenty of aftermarket options for the jeep

@@jeffforbes70 fully waterproofed designs? And bidirectional?

@@Brotherhood676 I know I’m looking forward to see how Jeep responds to the competition that Ford has been introducing.

@@Zanderthelab yes

quick disconnect for $175 or so. Easy and mechanically/electronically more sound than the gimmick-switch.

Why would you want a manual off road? Two friends out in Moab: "..is that you or your clutch? Hopefully it's you on fire and not the clutch again... There's no O'Reilly's way out here!"

The snorkel is pointless in the context of water fording. There are control modules located right at waterline as is on the standard Bronco. The cabin also starts filling with water once you go hit about 27" of water depth. Its more cosmetic than anything, but its an excellent looking trim. The snorkel would be helpful in dusty environments though as it affords cleaner air to the engine. The winch is nice but you can get that on any model.

@@J_Madison according to Tommy on the podcast all of those were moved/re-engineered so the Everglades can have a 36 inch fording depth.

@@Clockwork0nions That's interesting to hear. I've had the Bronco interior stripped bare (seats, flooring etc) and it would take a tremendous amount of work to do that, so hats off to them. Water already swamps the interior of the Sasquatch package near max depth of ~33". Doorway entry is 27" up from the ground, so you get a lot of water intrusion if your door seals aren't clean.

Real off roaders avoid water/mud at almost all cost ... bad for wheel bearings, diffs, chains... whatever

@@toyyoda3710 oh yes 👍🏽 already have replaced both front wheel bearings on my taco

@@toyyoda3710 and rock climbing over big ass boulders don't break anything !😂

@@Boss-vd8vt I didnt say it doesn't... in fact thats where i usually put most of my money... i used to say expect to pay at least 100 bucks per adventure and since i used to off road everyday on a shoestring buget i learned to stay away from mud puddles ... meanwhile 4X4 dorks would drive to a spot to find a mud puddle to dirty their trucks with and then parade around town. you could always tell those trucks. lifted a little too high and had zero scratches or off roading dents. even mild off roaders have "Arizona pinstriping"

I know a couple guys that do this to 90K 200 series Land Cruisers. All depends on what your budget is, 60K could be chump change to somebody, relatively speaking.

I guess manufacturers really do think about the 3rd or 4th owners

It can be purchased at msrp (along with all Broncos except Raptor) if you order through website and select a dealership in your area that committed to NOT adding ADMs! There are many, many dealerships that have been recommended and have been vetted through actual purchases made by the Bronco6G community members and their testimonials! My dealership (Kearney Mesa Ford) provided that promise in writing!

Completely concur with that. That is the main reason why I am hesitant ordering this model....once Ford opens up orders in August.

And a 2 door
