I've been watching for a long time. But when you said all Broncos at MSRP I called up and placed my reservation. I also believe my sales rep and Town and Country helped me get mine faster. I'm glad Michael talked me into the soft top so I could get my color and Bronco faster. Best experience ever in buying a vehicle and I would do it all over again.
I got my bronco in October of 2021, just reached 20k miles on it. Been fantastic. Big Bend 4 door with rear locker (4.27 diff) running 35 inch sasquatch takeoffs. Couldn't be happier, especially with how I was able to keep everything in budget.

How’re your mpg with the 4.27? I got a black diamond cuz it has the 4.46 ratio but my mpgs are like 16-18 with 35s-i was hoping it’d be higher. Though my lift is probably the main culprit

Thank You Mitch ...Just love your videos..... Bronco stuff never gets boring.....
Reserved my 2Dr Badlands thru Town & Country and after 1003 days it is supposed to be born TODAY ! Your videos have kept me going ,lol.
I have had my 2021 Bronco Base Sasquatch for one year and have 18,000 miles on it and the only service I’ve had is scheduled maintenance. I love my Bronco.
I grabbed a 2023 Bronco Outer Banks a couple weeks ago! It's my wife's and I spend a lot of time driving it!!! My Porsche is spending a lot of time sitting!!
So I have 22,000 miles on my 2021 4 door Outer Banks Sasquatch Bronco with the 2.7 and it's been absolutely flawless. Best vehicle I've ever owned.
Thanks for your gratitude to us fans of your channel!

Hi Mitchell, I want to thank you for tell all of us to make sure your dealership is selling only at MSRP. As bad as I wanted mine I woulda paid over MSRP, but thank goodness my dealer here in California kept there word and sold it just like they promised. Thank you also for all the great videos and showing us all the upgrades that have and haven't worked and just the thoroughness of the videos. And I 100% agree the Rockslde Engineering steps are the best, if you don't have them you need them!!

@@OMG_No_Way what dealer did you go with?
I’ve had my Badlands SAS for about 14 months. I got about 17,000 miles on it. It’s spent close to a month total at the dealer. 3 weeks of that was for chasing an issue that acted like the battery was dead when it wasn’t. Literally no power to it. They couldn’t find the issue. Finally it was fixed and no more issue. We’re thinking some connection, somewhere, was loose. And with them going over everything they accidentally plugged it back in solid and it fixed it without knowing it. The other week it was down was for waiting on parts. Had a mouse/rat chew through some wires that told the transfer case to shift into 4WD. Besides that, zero issues.
The concept is fantastic. I just hope they will sort out all the kinks.
Can’t wait to pick mine up! 🙏🏽
This is awesome what you did with the bronco
Ive owned my bronco for over a year, 7 speed manual 2.3l badlands 4 dr. Has run perfectly so far, just one recall for the rear door child lock

Cool video as always I actually finally got my bronco on 2/25/23 and I ordered it in June of 21 so we'll over 18 months. Everything's been good except I had a error light for the electric steering and it really made me wonder why I even bought a new car. They said that I would have to take it into the dealership and it was a three to five day wait and I can't make an appointment. They already knew they weren't going to get to till Wednesday. They don't give out loaners and they expect me to leave my car there for 3 to 5 days without any transportation. that's ridiculous. Why can't I just make an appointment for that day and I get it? I get that it's s not going to happen exactly when I drop it off but the point to me at least of getting a new car is you know there's not going to be problems and if there are you're going to get taken care of whenever we bought new cars in the past if there was any issue or even if I just couldn't get the car right that day we always got loaners so we always knew we would have transportation because we pay that extra and we went to the dealership. I just don't see the point of going to a dealership buying a new car anymore. If it's going to be like this, the bronco is special for me but it ain't going to happen again putting up with all this stuff and I'm not talking about your dealership in particular but the dealership I went to made it sound like it's like that at every dealership. I mean the only reason I've gone through all this with the bronco is because I had a 1990 bronco as my first car. I've loved them ever since and I remember when the prototype came out in 2004. I said as soon as they actually come out for production I'm going to get one but I don't think I'll ever buy another new car if it's going to be like this from now on and I really want to get one of those. Maverick tremors
Great video Mitchell. Thanks for sharing this. I really love the full disclosures and all the T&C TV content. I've had 4dr Wildtrak with Lux package for 3 months (as of today actually), and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT (being in it, looking at it, driving it...). The only issues I noticed on mine are: (i) the window on the driver's side read passenger door does not drop as fast as the other doors do when you open it - my dealership knows about it but I have not gone there to have them fix yet; (ii) there is a road section bump on the Mass Pike and every time I drive over it (at probably 35-40 when merging on to the highway) the passenger side rear makes a squeak noise - no idea what it is...not really an issue?; and (iii) I notice when I drive 75+ (and esp. on windy days) there is a whistling noise as if there is a hole in my bronco lol - I do not hear it at lower speeds, but its probably the wind on the vehicle. The last two are nothing crazy...just observations. Regardless, nothing bad has happened with my Bronco to date *knock on wood* and it runs better than I ever expected. This probably sounds "weird" but sometimes when I get out of my Bronco, I turn around and say "good bye see you tomorrow [or after work]."
@noramadden2976

i have the same issue, the whistling is from the top front corners of the front windows if that makes sense! the dealership should fix it but they're having trouble sourcing the parts. if you hold up on the window buttons for a few seconds sometimes it makes it better, I hope this helps!

Great content .. EXCEPT….You had a valve cover gasket replaced, not a head gasket replaced. There’s a huge difference. What you had done is minor. A head gasket replacement is MAJOR and would have likely involved coolant and and oil mixing and possible major engine damage.

What is the oil change recommendations on these 2.3 and 2.7 eco boost engines?
As far as all the repairs, warranty or otherwise, what would the actual out of pocket costs would have been if this wasn’t warranty work?
What offset are those wheels ? Also how does it do with such a big and wide tire off-roading and power wise ? TY
8:54 valve cover gasket not a head gasket. Head gasket would require the heads to come off to replace the gasket plus you will have a milk-shake in your oil pan.
Question: With the front winch,, does that affect your front camera (360 cam)?
Valve cover gasket, not head gasket.... That's a very big difference.

I still am on the fence about getting the ford bronco. I had thought possibly of getting the badlands. I really like the hood you have installed on this bronco. I really don't know how to get a hood like this on this beautiful bronco. Don't know if I would get the winch and I'd have to ask myself how often I'd need to use it. I would want a hard top not soft top since i live where there is lots of snow.

I think they have to prove that your mod was responsible for the failure. If you put over sized tires on a truck you change the gear ratios and add more strain on the power-train. I could see it voiding the warranty on some failures. Probably depends what breaks.
