LOVED (8)

01Rear spare tire used as the steering control, a creative Technic solution noted across multiple reviews
02Working V6 engine with pistons that fire when the model is driven
03Opening doors, hood, and detailed dashboard with accurate yellow air vent accents
04Proper all-terrain tires matching the Sasquatch package wheel design
05Solid, study construction with good heft for a Technic model
06Accurate grille design
07GOAT mode suspension that visibly compresses over terrain
08Excellent price-per-piece at 6.9 cents for a licensed Technic vehicle

CRITICIZED (6)

01Stickers present, though most found them manageable in number
02Windshield angle slightly off from the real vehicle
03Removable roof and doors (a real Bronco feature) not incorporated into the model
04Only available in one color, frustrating for Bronco owners who have other paint colors
05Hood detail placement slightly inaccurate compared to the real vehicle
06Limited play options compared to larger Technic flagships like the Land Rover Defender

What reviewers are saying

"This a very competent mid-priced model that makes a welcome change from the endless stream of similarly-sized supercars which all look much the same at a small scale."

Brickset Reviews

"Based on its price and piece count, this could've joined the Car Transporter Gang, but since it's an SUV, the closest comparison from recent years is the Jeep Wrangler from 2021."

Ecosystem

42122 Jeep — a pretty big step up from the 42122 Jeep

42110 Land Rover — will take a lot of beating from the Land Rover Defender set

Jeep Wrangler (2021) — The closest comparison from recent years. The Jeep Wrangler, which had no front shocks, actually felt better in play with its suspension than the Bronco's stiffer setup

Ford F-150 Raptor — Similar fender flare design (though Bronco's is shorter at 9 modules). Reviewer thinks Bronco's lack of 4WD is fine at this scale, after all the much larger F-150 Raptor was also RWD only

Minifigures & Standout Parts

Standout parts (per reviewers)

wheel arch pieces
new wheel arch pieces introduced; there seem to be new ones every year nowadays. The two pieces mate together and unlike others, the red arch panel has a flat side and top, so may prove to be useful as something other than a fender.
V6 engine
a working 6-cylinder engine connected to the rear axle via a differential
Red #7 connector
Fourth color variation of this part
Fender flares (9 modules long)
New part that fits with flat mudguards from Ferrari FXX K; similar to F-150 Raptor version but shorter. Only appears in this set and Ferrari FXX K
New tire tread pattern
Same tread as Audi RS Q e-tron but much smaller; fits this scale well
4-module-long black steering links
New part from Skyline set, enables compact steering rack setup
