Why Tommy from TFL bought a Wrangler instead of a Bronco (or 4Runner)

The thing I cant stand about 4runner, the buttons are giant and ugly

That look was all the rage 15 years ago...

Pineapple is actually a berry, as are tomatoes.

What? I just drove by pineapple fields the other day. Isn’t it like a succulent or something? To lazy to Google.

Probably more than anyone wanted to know about them.

Maybe it's marketed towards seniors.

And the truth comes out in there latest video showing off his Dads new launch edition he just bought. The real reason he bought a Wrangler was he couldn’t get a Bronco and the “price was out of my budget”. Sounds to me like he actually wanted one instead of the Wrangler but couldn’t afford one.

Base Broncos are cheaper than the base Willys he bought.

Buying a Bronco for the channel has 0 to do with any of them wanting 1. It's about the views. It's about creating content period. Obviously it would be dumb to buy a new JL for tfl, with tfl money when a 2022 is virtually no different than a 2018. Were they equally attainable would he have bought a Bronco with his personal money? Who knows because they aren't, and won't be for a long while yet. When you see what reviewers buy and drive with their own money, that is far more relevant than what the company buys.

It should be interesting to see and hear what their opinions are of both. Hopefully they take both on the same trips and drives and talk about the pros and cons of both. Maybe we will get a some insight about QC and longer term durability also.

A interesting question later on. Which they buy again after owning and driving both? And why?

There is no point being on Youtube if you cannot create lots of content. You need views to survive.

They publish content that we want to watch. There is no other way. Once the analysis is real and not designed to make sponsers happy, it is all good.

Given TFL’s viewer numbers, I guarantee you they could buy a Bronco every month if they wanted to. None of this is about “affordability” unless Dad is paying Tommy a small salary.

And that’s fine. It’s a good channel with enjoyable content. I like those guys better than 99% of YouTubers and wish them well. Looking forward to some fun stuff in the months ahead.

That is literally how Toyota works too, heck Honda is the same. I drive a lot of different brands for work, Toyota and Honda has the worst tech and cockpit ergo I've driven. Maybe the reason the Japanese brands are so loved and have "less problems" is they never update anything

I tried to buy one of my favorite pizzas with pineapples on it today, but forgot that they are closed on Monday and Tuesday.

Just to keep this Jeep related, I wonder how many pineapple plantations use Jeeps? Since most are grown in the Phillipines now, and Jeeps are so popular there, I would guess quite a few. I would also guess that you would not find any Broncos on a pineapple plantation.

Thank God. Everytime a pizza with pineapple is made a kitten dies .

Well, I've been reading though this thread and am late to the discussion. I've really enjoyed TFL video over the years. A lot of good information and I learned a lot from them. This video by Tommy was no exception.

If I had known more about the Willy's that would have been the model I would have sought out. My 2 door Jl sport is basically optioned like a Willy's minus the Rubicon suspension and rock rails.
