Our New Bronco Raptor Gets TRAIL DAMAGE!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
- For the sake of science, we're off road torture testing the all new Ford Bronco Raptor like no one else (just like we did when we first got our Jeep Wrangler JLU Rubicon back in the day). And in our pursuit to find the limits of the Bronco Raptor's 4x4 capabilities, trail damage is inevitable. In fact...that's ultimately the point - finding the weaker links so that we can ultimately figure out how to improve the vehicle to make it even better.
Hope you all enjoy the video!

This is by far the best demonstration of the Bronco Raptor I have seen. Seriously impressive. Keep up the great work!
100% ford should of give these guys a bronco raptor to show the world how capable the braptor really is ,, best test iv seen so far by far
with 37's and parts of the front bumper removed LOL lets keep it real
@@WoodrowWoods2007 37s are the stock size on the Braptor. They just changed to a different tire of the same size.
Agree.👍
completely agree. Was waiting on someone (like TFL) to show some 'real world' capabilities of this mofo. And having seen how big it is in-person, I'm pleasantly surprised to see it making its way throw these challenging trails.
The Bronco really is an amazing stock vehicle. 👍
It's almost time for a video on all the damage done to skids and undercarriage.
I was thinking that as I watched this - let's see it on the lift.
This man is a professional husband. He said "good spotter" 1st in his sentence. Man knows his stuff :) You guys rock
Makes the other off-road reviews look like a walk in the park. If you want to find a vehicles limits, let Lite Brite take it for a spin.
Awesome! The bronco raptor is amazing out of the box! Kevin’s driving skills are outstanding!
You guys are awesome. You’ve easily moved into the #1 slot on Braptor coverage. Keep up the good work. Only problem is I’m even more anxious for my ordered braptor to be built than ever.
Man I’m impressed with the bronco raptor. And you guys definitely push the limits of the vehicle!!! 🔥🔥🔥 awesome driving and spotting by the way!!!👍👌
Totally agree "awesome driving and spotting by the way"
When I play a videogame and my character reaches a super high level and becomes very powerful I often get bored...then I will sometimes create a new or play a lower level character and I often find that the lack of power forces me to use skills that I've forgotten (because I didn't need them to be successful). watching the sheer joy on your face as you offroad this "lower level" character (vs your rediculously built out jeep) is fun. It's like your having more fun than just "well, I guess I'll just press the gas pedal and go over anything"...you're having to pucker more and think more and your smile is definitely bigger.
Definitely something to what you are saying. Sometimes it’s good to go back
One of THE most entertaining off road videos I’ve seen in a long while! Thankyou for sacrificing your Bramptor for entertainment and informative purposes! Excellent driving band spotting guys!!!!!!
Kevin stole my thunder…I was thinking ….man the spotting and driving are on point in this video…and the tires are working like a set of comp. compound sticky’s , those wrinkling sidewalls are impressive for a street tire with less than 100 miles on them! But the most shocking thing is this dune bombing IFS Bronco can flat out crawl…if it proves to be durable at this level of wheeling then Ford has got the themselves a winner!
I really don't think anybody else will do what your doing with a Bronco Raptor, that vehicle is amazing and I think I know the next tire thats going on my TJ. Thanks for the video content you put out.
You guys are absolutely awesome. You are a fantastic team together. You make great content and I love watching your channel. I love that you push that thing to its limits. Without being stupid and trying to break it. That is excellent spotting and absolutely fantastic driving. You guys together are amazing.
Awesome!!! I ordered a raptor and get my build date next week!! Thanks for sharing.
I can't comprehend how to get in a head-space where it's OK to put a brand new vehicle through hell like this. All my wheeler have been non-pristine (74 Bronco, 89 Bronco, 99 Ranger etc) I couldn't imagine doing this with a new Braptor. I really appreciate what you are doing here. I puckered watching this.
I felt compelled to buy merch after watching this.
My shirt was delivered, I love it!
I'm thoroughly impressed with the Braptor . WOW
I want to see a video of the undercarriage and sliders… it appears that they didn’t do so badly. And you crunched the fender completely and it mostly came right back to shape. Impressive!
Brit, you are one hell of a spotter!! Good catch! You saved that Raptor! You are smart,skilled, and pretty! Kevin is a lucky man!! Love the videos keep them coming!! You are an awesome driver too Kevin!!
I like that you aren't just trashing the Bronco. You are driving it like a guy with one off road vehicle would drive it. I like the developing competition for Jeep. Maybe we will get a better stock trail capable vehicle from Jeep? Maybe we will start seeing Raptor Broncos on the trails? Keep putting that beast through the paces. I love you guys! 💕
Delete the finder’s 💯. I really enjoyed it!
Bronco Raptor just came out you’ll see more I’m sure
Bronco’s are a cross between a Jeep and a Subaru. Great mid section.
My first time here and boy am i impressed. You guys make a great team. And that Bronco is doing more than i thought it could. As a Jeep guy who's does Moab i really like this Bronco. Ford should have you guys as their official testers.
Ford couldn't buy advertisement like this. Bone stock truck doing what you are doing is just mind blowing. Ford should be proud.
Kevin is a great driver and Brittany has eye skills to spot
This might be your best show so far ! I only found your channel recently ,instant fan . I've watched most of your shows now and enjoy all the different motorsports . I will be showing this video to lots of Ford and Chrysler mechanics . Really enjoy the addition of Chris and Beck but is it time to hire a cameraman/ editor so we can see more of both of you driving , it's not like your short on vehicles lol
I think Ford needs to use this footage for advertising. You guys really pushed that thing. Great work.
Long time old school Bronco owner here ('92) Kudos to both of you for using the Bronco like it was intended!! There are a lot of arm chair wheelers out there, but you guys definitely know what you're doing.
I was on edge during this video. The flex on the Raptor was very impressive.
All i can say is FORD Y’all are awesome
This is really impressive. The fact that you can do this crawling, that 99% of people wouldn't even attempt in a built Wrangler, and then go and hit those whoops at 60 plus MPH, it really is an incredible vehicle. Side note, I would love to see you guys buy a late model 4Runner. I would absolutely love to see what Kevin could do in one of those, to really push it to its limits like no one else does. Maybe when the next generation comes out, I'm sure it will be insanely popular.
I literally just commented this same thing in the last video. Would love to see them build up a 4runner and have Kevin drive it cause with his driving skills I would love to see what he could do with a 4runner.
I don't think 4Runner has a locking front dif.
@@marcbee1234 No, it doesn't. Some of them are available with a locking rear diff, but they all have ATRAC which is kind of an electronic limited slip. Definitely not a locker, but better than open front. I just really like to see what Kevin would do with one, because I haven't really seen a 4Runner channel that actually pushes them on really challenging terrain.
@@andyham6094 Yeah, that would be epic. Every time I watch one of their videos, I think about how I'd love to see what Kevin could do with my 4Runner.
I have a Toyota FJ and it can do most all as well
Lite Brite does it so you don't! Y'all seem like good peeps so wishing good success on this channel! 👍
Ok, still a jeep guy at heart, but holy crap ford….good job! Now time for jeep to step it up. But yes, question is what is the longevity….hats off to you guys for truely testing in ways no one else has yet. Not that any of us should be surprised…hahaha keep it up! Definitely wana see what the undercarriage look like after that one 🤣🤣
For a brand new, "out of the box" four wheeler...That thing is awesome! Let's be honest, NOBODY is going to buy that rig and do what you two do! Actually pushing four wheelers to there limits! Please don't stop!
Thank you from Colorado
Wow!!! Blown away what that thing could do . Obviously mad driving skills made it happen but WOW
That was pretty amazing. Tires, spotting, driving skills, and Bronco capability all on display. Great job guys!
It's funny how much of an improvement it seems over the regular Bronco.
Wow that was extremely impressive!!
Ford should pay y'all the 35K ! This is the best sales add for the Bronco Raptor, hands down.
You all kill it every video! I will always be a Jeep man but love see the bronco raptor it’s ol!
This bronco is insanely good i don’t think there is anything close out there stock. I want one
Thoroughly impressed with the Raptor. Keep em comin👍
You guys make a great team and that Braptor is the cherry on top of the cake. Keep it up 👏
Get down! Great job you two. This should have been promo footage when it was announced. Fine driving and spotting. Keep it up!
This reminds me of when you guys first got the stepchild and took it to moab. Testing everything out the box!
Kevin really is the man, Such a humble, normal guy for being one of the best at what he does. Camera never conveys how steep and ridiculous some of those obstacles are. Vast majority of these keep board warriors that are so opinionated wouldn’t dare doing anything close to what he does, and they still debate him like they have clout! Lol.
You know, it kind of says something about Kev and Brit's enthusiasm for testing this Braptor, when they sideline their brand new 800+ HP Wrangler in favor of testing the Bronco. Likewise, it must really say something about how fun they think it is to drive, that the allure of their 800+ HP monster does not lure them away. The Boxy Raptor must be a blast.
Glad you guys got one to show what it can do
Smiling!
Does remind me of the first JL videos you guys did and why I started and am still watching your channel.
Pretty impressive. What a combo.
I hope Ford is paying u for this! Becasue THIS is the Raptor Bronco content I’ve (everyone) been waiting for that NOONES DOING excepttttttt Lite Brite
Ford is not paying them, and they are not paying Ford either, since they bought it private sale.
Nice driving and spotter was on point. Bronce Raptor seems to work really well
This is pretty impressive! I'm curious to see how the rock sliders and rest of the undercarriage is holding up. I appreciate the effort you all put into your videos, and especially the honest reviews. Thanks for the great content!
I am sold on the Bronco Raptor because of your last 2 videos
But like you I refuse to pay the mark up
Keep up the great work Lite Brite Nation
Impressive vehicle, but props to you Kevin for being an extremely good driver!!
On the Braptor flair damage... Looks like an excellent opportunity for an aftermarket manufacturer to create a much better Braptor fender flair setup - something tucked in a bit and made out of something more flexible and scratch resistant.
I'm a die hard Jeep person I am impressed with the Bronco rapture!
Brittany & Kevin: the Bronco performed v well, but the communication between you two totally eclipsed the Bronco. Cheers AB
You guys are brave. No way I could beat up a new Bronco Raptor. Thanks for the video. Can we see more high-speed whoops?
I love this series!! It's as exciting as when you 1st started.
Very good video, Impressive Bronco with great driving and spotting. Especially enjoyed Kevin's throttle control and tire placement and Brittany's always spot on with saving instructions. Those tires also looked very functional and a couple times climbed on the sidewalls and saved the rims. I learned a lot and thank you.
man i just can't get over just how good Brittney is at spotting 💪🏾😎👍🏽
This thing is tearing it up. So much better than the regular Bronco.
It better be for the price.
@@andyham6094 exactly what i was going to say
Stock, of course lol. But, a little suspension help, 37s, and maybe some steering reinforcement and a Badlands will do (and probably has done) this too. And still way cheaper than Raptor. Don't get me wrong, the Raptor is badass for sure, as are the driver and spotter here. Certainly in this case you get what you pay for, but don't count us poor folk with our badlands out of the race quite yet. 😂
@@GhostRiderAZ does Braptor have more articulation as well?
@@GhostRiderAZ I have a badlands with 37’s and a 2 inch lift and my biggest complaint is it just rattles all the time in the interior.
looks great on the trail, once price comes down its a pretty good deal but for now 44k for a Rubi is a good place to be
While I was impressed with how the Raptor has been behaving so far, I was still skeptical out doing some of those trails that I've had to take several passes at in a semi-built Jeep. However, after this video, I am right there with y'all about it being the best all around off-road vehicle straight out of the box! And just as y'all said about those dang Nittos, I am blown away with how well they worked! I am looking forward to seeing how those do as well in future videos. You guys are awesome and as always, I can't wait for the next video!
I know you guys didn't care for the badlands but my daughter's 2 door badlands has impressed me immensely.
Those moments that just take your breath away your never forget !!! The winch that saved the day !
Compound baby Nitto killed it.
Wow. I am impressed with the Braptor and Kevin's driving. I look forward to your videos when you start modding that thing.
Loved seeing the Braptor take on some serious challenges! Makes me fondly recall your early days on Chinaman Gulch with the stock JL. Kinda miss y'all running crazy stuff in near stock vehicle. Don't get me wrong still want to see the built monsters out there but there's something to be said about running near stock over extreme terrain.
I am impressed with what you guys put it through. Did a darn good job
More raptor content til something breaks! Just because there’s a lot of jeep and basic bronco content (Love those too) but this is refreshing! I like the anxiety and uncertainty of Brit’s voice and probably face impressions too
Break it, fix it, wheel it, break it in ❤
That Bronco is impressive!
Am honestly impressed. I had written off the bronco, but seeing you wheel it...boy...am sold
Those fenders, both front and back....but special mention to the rears....they are Fugly , the rock was just trying to do the thing a favour .... by taking those Fugly things off lol!! Cheers Wild Bill overlanding the Boreal and Taiga of Northern Ontario and Quebec...Trans Taiga baby...Oooooh yeah !! Never stop exploring!!!
Hugely impressed by this (nearly) bone-stock Braptor!!
Wow! Way to go!! You guys really put some work in! I can’t believe how far you’ve taken that thing! Ford meant for the fenders to be cheap and easily replaced!
This one seems far superior to the Badlands Sasquatch edition that Bronc Buster challenged the Stepchild with. HOLY WOW.
That was the best Bronco Raptor I’ve seen. Looking forward even more till mine comes in. Don’t think I’ll be as brave as you guys though. 😬
Ford did a phenomenal job on this thing
I'm done... Braptor FTW. That thing is ridiculous!
Honestly amazed those Nitto's held their bead, considering they were only just mounted. The Bronco has impressed me too, but it's unlikely to ever be sold in my country, so no point dreaming.
Great video. You are the ONLY one that push the vehicle to its limits. Soaking of upgrades, even the step child destroyed upgraded parts doing some difficult stuff slooowly (about 2 months ago). I wonder what this thing could do with 40s a couple of reinforced parts and 100 more HP
All I can say is Amazing! A factory vehicle. Maybe a fender delete for when you're doing a tough course.
or just smaller fenders
i bet some bush wacker flat flares that only cover half the tire would look way better than those stock fenders and also allow for a better approach on rocks
Front Bumper delete also.
Damn I want a Bronco Raptor!
Well, you can't test it much harder than that. Not without putting it on its roof. Impressive.
Love how there is no agenda to this versus the folks paid for their opinion
Hot damn 50 replies already! It’s only been up for 34 min. Just got off the phone with my dealer ‘trying’ to see if I can get a raptor they have 1 in transit but can’t even give me a price 😂😂
Wow color me impressed! Great job spotting as always! Great job driving! Wonder if I could ever build my Big Bend into a pseudo Raptor. Naw maybe sell it and order a raptor.
For a stock car not designed as a rock crawler, that is pretty impressive rock crawling!
Hell yea!!! About time someone make this video. Body damage is part of the game.
Dang keeping it real for the peeps! My wife now wants one!!!
Good example of why people had don't have to worry about when you have the plastic stock fenders like on the Jeep if those been metal cloak or road armor that are still attached to the body they would have pushed into the body and did damage like a friend of mine did not then you have to go get body work done to the vehicle that's why I decided to keep my factory fenders it's a cushion and the most you'll break his clips like I said I've been the steel ones that people make aftermarket they would have done body damage and pushed into the body I've seen it happened to other people I will keep my stock ones
I love that it's at least "as good" as the Rubicon. In my mind though, it's always dollar based. $90+k gets you a lot of vehicle. I wonder what Big Mike from Marlin Crawler has in his Taco for instance.
Not to shabby for a stock Raptor built for the desert and not rock crawling! Happy Trails to both of you!
Exactly! I think Jeep people fail to understand this was forged in the desert!!
The Braptor def shines in the desert and high speed off roading was the main element but it was built to be an all around off roader good everywhere. Ford tested the hell out of it on slow speed rock crawling just like this just as much as they did in high speed desert running. Having great articulation for rock crawling but also have the IFS for great on road and being more comfortable at higher speeds in the desert. They basically thought of everything with this and it does seem to be very good everywhere. Also being beefed up more, hopefully the durability and reliability is great too. We shall see with that though but it’s def not out of its element on the rocks.
@@andyham6094 it really is! The braptor is a jack of all trades and master of one, that being the desert. It fills the void in that saying. You can clearly tell there is a bit of a nepotism towards Jeeps here, and I’m not against it. To each is own, but I feel this absolutely demolishes a wrangler in the desert. To me, the choice is obvious, and it’s the reason these braptors are selling for such ridiculous ADMs. I’m looking for one, but no way I’m paying the adm.
Incredible video great driving great spotting awesome new ride congratulations
At around the 4min mark my guy says "Not yet" When Britney guides him to turn hard driver. Like, DUDE, have you met your wife? I'm kinda sure that she's the best spotter to ever exist! She could guide a trans-am on cinderblocks through the entire Rubicon trail! lol When she says anything as a spotter, it's not a question! Y'all're awesome!
Living your best lives!
Very impressive vehicle. Fantastic video LiteBrite.
Kevin and you what a team, I am surprise to see the Bronco Raptor performance.
ford should pay you for this video as a commercial. I'm sold! I'm placing my order right now. hopefully ford start giving discounts or share some of the profit. this video convinced me to pull the trigger.
Y'all literally rock. Dude your driving skills are incredible and Brittney is an awesome spotter for you, great teamwork. Ford should have you guys test all there off road vehicles and tell them what they need to do to improve them. I'm going to get a set Nitto Recons for my son's Ranger. My 23 bronco is supposed to be built next month, we'll see only been waiting since 2021.
