Maybe not wrong about some of the things they nit picked about. But they are about the off road capabilities. Easy to make yourself sound credible when you pick the low hanging fruit to complain about.

You literally can do that with any vehicle on the planet. Pick 5 things that are an issue and blow them put of proportion. I can easily do that with a Jeep as well.

I love how they claim to not be affiliated with any auto maker. Sure maybe not Jeep specifically but they are affiliated with America's Most Wanted as a certified mechanic and installer. Take a guess what America's Most Wanted Specializes in? Yep Jeeps and specifically Jeep engine swaps. You don't think Lite Brite will befit financially if they convince more people to buy Jeeps and then point out their power deficiency and talk them into more power like they have in several of their last videos showing off their new engine builds. They are sooooo Biased it's not even funny. I'm actually done with their channel after this Bull.

I've always been good at reading people and reading between the lines. I know exactly what they're doing with this video and how they benefit. Pretty sad.

Maybe I watched the wrong video, based on a lot of these responses. I thought they criticized the Jeep more so than the Bronco. Cup holders, AC vents and a shift handle versus a button… same complaints on here for the past year or so. I prefer the button on the shifter, if it’s not an actual manual shifter… I could care less about the cup holders… and roll the damn windows down and enjoy nature, since that’s supposed to be why you wanted an off road vehicle. I do worry to some degree about not having a manual transfer case, or at least an override for it… but I’m not losing sleep over it. 🤷‍♂️

Everything they said was accurate except build issues. Mine is great, no rattles or squeeking.
My problem isn't with what they said, but how they said it. Kevin clearly is biased and dislikes the Bronco. He'd be better off admitting that then than trying to be unbiased.
I can't watch his mechanic because he hates working on anything other than a Jeep.
If you are a true automobile lover, you'll come across as one naturally.
Reviews are best left to independent channels with zero bias and have realistic views on the vehicles they choose to analyze.

Their Bronco will never be what they want it to be. There, I said it.
Yours being good doesn't make the statement inaccurate. Mines bordering on dumpster fire levels of squeaks and rattles among other things and I have a warranty appt scheduled for an entire LIST of problems. Many, MANY people here have had a whole load of problems that shouldn't exist.

Probably one of the best unbiased videos I have watched on both the Bronco and rh the Jeep. I'm sure it touched a few nerves in both camps.

And I'm sorry but for the price of the Bronco Ford needs to really take a look at many things. Shoddy workmanship, insufficient and weak parts and obvious shortcomings should not be acceptable. And it amazes me how many people are accepting of all of them because they are so enamored with the Bronco.
The fan base on this site is actually pretty ridiculous. So many people here think ford can do no wrong and the Bronco is the most perfect thing to ever exist. Love my Bronco but it has oodles of flaws, many of which ford has no excuse for.

I've always enjoyed the content of litebrite and agree with most of of what they said. But Kevin is little over the top when comparing IFS to SFA. First of all the new Wranglers drive pretty good on the pavement and Jeep has worked out most of the death wobble issues. A crappy SFA that has terrible road manners are Jeep CJ's and first Gen Broncos. A 22 Wrangler feels like an IFS compared to the other 2.

As for the capabilities, I believe a stock Badlands with 33's can hang with any stock Rubicon 33's . But there are weaknesses with the IFS tie rods and steering rack that has to be addressed. And for that matter, Fabtech has that covered and I will be upgrading my Badlands.
the 22 jlur is different from a 20 JLUR how?

Bose??? Wrong stereo. If you are going to school someone at least take the time to use accurate information. Man your credibility…… you do realize this vehicle has a terrible sound stage. One person on here doesn’t 8k getting it to audiophile quality. The upgrade system is fine for 90 plus percent of the world.
You know what he meant. Can’t blame him the B&O is so bad it’s pretty forgettable.

So much this.

First vehicle I’ve ever owned that I’ve thought about getting rid of because it’s so fucking annoyingly noisy. And no, not “rugged off-roader topless beast” noisy. I own 3 different lubes……..for my Bronco 😂😂😂

I don't put stock in the opinions of anyone who creates a YouTube channel for the sake of making money or being a pseudo movie star.

I'm really tired of youtube thumbnails with a girl dressed in a skimpy outfit to get more clicks.

They have some valid points for sure… also some that can’t be, imo, validated unless they are comparing stock to stock across the board. Remember, they just put a hellcat in one Wrangler and are putting a Daemon in another. There is almost nothing that they show on their channel that can be done in a stock Wrangler either. I can’t imagine any true hard core long term Jeeper on their level going with or recommending anything but the Jeep. With that said, I have to believe this is why they sold it rather than dumping $ in to it. Why would they put any $ in to it to produce content for the Bronco when they’re neck deep in really trying to have the biggest, baddest and fastest Jeeps out there, that is their core audience.
And they don't want anything to do with the Bronco because they are partners with America's Most Wanted now and a certified installer. They are Balls deep in Jeep more then ever now.

Really, doesn't have anything to do with the customers screaming and whining where their Bronco is. Yeah, blame it on Ford rushing it out, the whiney customers had no part in that.

🤡 “Jeeps are made for off road and can be driven on road. Broncos are made for on road and can be driven off road.” 🤡 Reality: Jeeps suck on road and on 80% of off road trails that might lead to some rock piles where the added articulation from a SFA has advantages. I have yet to find a trail that my stock Badlands Sasquatch can‘t hang with a stock Jeep/one on 35s. I’ll take comfort and speed over extra “flex” any day of the week.

Last I checked, Jeeps weren't even involved (much less placing) in one of the most extreme off-road racing events on the planet - that being King of the Hammers. Ya know who was there? - Ford w/the Bronco (both modified and stock). Winning quite a bit too, IIRC.

You should know better, Kevin LiteBrite.
