Ha thanks! Wait till you see me drag that Defender down the mountain if you thought I was upset here 😮

🙋‍♂️ You found him. And how has your summer of off-roading been in your new Bronco ;) In all seriousness folks we’ve tried different modes, different 4x4 settings, traction settings and look: it’s a 5,000 lb + vehicle on 35’s with 330 HP. No driver mod or mode or 4x4 setting is really going to...

Thanks for the discussion all! It might not be all that quick but wait for the off-road vid tomorrow ;) Car & Driver does excellent testing but keep in mind it’s the best BEST case scenario often involving a prepped race surface, sea level, a skinny driver, no gas etc. They’ll even do stuff...

Me too 🤮

Appreciate the information I’ve gained from this forum, very cool to see how involved this community is. We are taking delivery of ours today, not acquired in the way I was expecting but it turned out to help a great cause. A leader of a charity approached us and asked if we wanted to work...

This is very much incorrect. Sport S introduced on JK included leather wrapped steering wheel, silver painted alloy wheels, power convenience group. It could/can be optioned with anti spin rear diff but is not included as standard on the Sport S. Willys Sport is HD suspension, rear LSD, Mud...

Please note we did NOT ask any follower/subscriber/viewer to write anything in that live chat you are referencing. It took us by major surprise when we learned about it.

Ah yes. Well if you want to talk about “getting back” at the parent I also considered for a brief moment buying a beautiful mid ‘60’s MG B. But ultimately my bias against British leyland drove me to look at the Bronco and Wrangler for a fun vehicle. Screw MG for leaving the U.S. market in the...

I appreciate the apology! It’s a VERY difficult media and internet landscape out there right now. It seems like everything has to be extremely decisive, either 100% for or 100% against a product or movement. The problem is if you try to straddle the middle it often draws fire from both sides...

Very interesting point you made here. If I can take off my reviewer hat for a second and discuss the purchasing factors more in-depth for a second. I was, as I mentioned in the vid carefully deliberating between the two. Just as I had suspected when making a decision in April, the Bronco...

I agree, it is a great point. In a perfect world we would pay the manufactures back for these perks, and we have discussed doing so internally. Unfortunately there just isn't a way to do so without loosing huge amounts of money, the math just doesn't work out. We try to make it very clear that...

I am right here ya know ;) I disagree, Everything we do has to be transparent. Nope that "includes paid promotion" was for our Partner OnX off-road, there was an ad in that video and we are required to disclose it. As I said before we won't take payment from any vehicle manufacturer. Not...

Very interesting actually, I did not consider that aspect of the video to be all that confrontational as it is a fairly regular thing in the industry to speak to high ups and execs. We also mention other products on pretty much every vehicle launch, we aren’t a PR agency! If there is news...

If I ever make a video Razorbak86 completely agrees with I know I’ve done my job poorly 😝 There is a lot of nuance in the relationships between publications and OEMs that is very hard to explain. It is easy to paint one person or outlet with a large brush but often doing so misses the details...

If I remember correctly this unit was broken in. Ford usually puts quite a few miles on them before they hand them over. And just to clarify we used a GPS performance timer called a SOLO for that quick test.

Something does NOT add up here. I know the Webasto folks pretty well, and while I haven’t spoken to them about Bronco since the problems allegedly began (not that they’d answer a media publications questions publicly anyway) they are an ASTONISHINGLY large and diversified company. Just about...

The Math works out to 34.4!

True the open air is nice. My other question mark is rollover performance with nothing directly above you, especially off-road. Both soft tops aren’t ideal but you can operate the Jeep system with one hand. Both look to be excellent vehicles, just need more time in them!

Definitely a good point. So slammed with videos we didn’t have a chance to run through a drive through to test ‘em out. The hood prop wasn’t a big deal in my opinion, but Andre was insistent. The bigger complaint to me is the electronic parking brake on the manual, never been in a fan and it’s...

Its actually not for additional subscribers. Today YouTube subscribers are largely meaningless but we have found there is a surprisingly small amount of crossover between channels. Those interested in towing tests often don't care about off-road reviews. And people into classics...
