1 year Bronco Sport Badlands Review

After owning our Ford Bronco Sport badlands for 1 entire year, driving from coast to coast, through the mountains, rivers, mud, sand, snow, and much more, I can really take a chance to appreciate just how great it really is.

Look, I'm no FORD lover, as a matter of fact I own Mazda, Dodge, Fiat, Chrysler, Suzuki, and much more this very second. At one point in time I was obsessed with Chevy Camaro and owned a few of them.

BUT
This new Ford is really a must have.
For the money, the performance really can't be beat. There are no truly comparable vehicles on the market coming packed with a turbo, awd, with built in lockers, and a generally comfortable ride that can be overland and off road driven out of the box for under 40g.
and 40 grand is for their top of the top package (badlands)
The Outer Banks, Base model, First Edition, and Big Bend come in at a lower cost with a few less goodies.

While I didn't talk about it in the video, we have to talk about safety. I've seen people tboned in the bronco sport, hit head on, and even drove off a cliff and survived. That's a real story, it was crazy.
We had a tree fall on ours while overlanding and just left a few dents, then someone drove into the side of it and it was still drivable till we had it repaired AFTER the trip 4 weeks later.

Climb a mountain? it will do it
Cross a river? yep, it's built for water forging
Camping? DUhhhhhh it's a must
Need room for kids? you got it.

Seriously I'm struggling to find a real flaw with the new Bronco. other than the fact my wife won't let me slam it.
I KNOW it's an addiction, I wanna slam it. I think a ground dragging BS would be cool.

This is a great time to go over all the features and operations of the new Bronco.
We have been at the forefront of educating owners on their BS, owning one of the earliest builds and using our education of automotive tech. it's been fun. really. But many owners fail to understand the features.
Shoot, just today someone posted a pic of that under seat storage and the internet lost their minds. People were finding out they had it and never knew, others were wishing they had it. Every couple days someone posts about the cup holder, or asks what the buttons do, or what the GOAT modes change.
