New Ford Bronco Raptor - REAL OFF ROAD TEST!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 1 окт 2024
- We take our brand new Ford Bronco Raptor out to an off road trail known as The Maze. Jam packed with difficult rock crawling obstacles, it's the perfect 4x4 trail to test out the Bronco Raptor and see how well it REALLY performs off road and, more specifically, in the rocks! So if you're wondering if it's better than a Jeep Wrangler, this is a great place to start!

A great driving tutorial by Kevin on how to finesse a vehicle over the rocks and of course having Brittany the greatest spotter out there doesn't hurt either! Happy Trails to all of you at LBN!
❤️😁🤙
We want more Brapton please. 😅😊
10 years ago, if somebody said you could climb this stuff in a stock ford, you would think they're nuts. Great job!
To be fair if you said a stock ford could make it down these obstacles most people would assume you meant flipping the whole way.
They would say that about any stock vehicle really XD
Eh, if you watch Matt's off-road recovery, they save a lot of raptors from getting stuck wouldn't say ford is good
@@zane213what9you literally just watched two competent off roaders tackle some very gnarly trails in a stock ford. I think the issue is the drivers not the vehicle. This was a four door model too. From what I’ve heard the two door is even better. Don’t hate on Ford because some novices got stuck somewhere they shouldn’t have been. Ford deserves credit for the impressive machine they built.
@Jonathan Fairchild eh just because it made it over some rocks doesn't mean it will do good in snow mud or sand
This thing is so impressive! I think it's safe to say that you and Kevin are definitely the ones hardest wheeling their Braptor, it's awesome to see. Also appreciated Kevin's driving tutorials, I wouldn't mind seeing more content like that actually.
Hands down the best Braptor content on the internet! I love the jeeps and other regular content but I love the Bronco’s and am here for more Braptor videos!! 🤘🏼🙌🏼
Ford should have given you the thing. They can’t buy advertising like this! Great driving Kevin. Best spotter award to Brit…
Wow the Bronco suspension is so well sorted. No squat during steep climbs, the front end stayed so well out. Wow, great job Ford!
Also, it helped to have a very good driver and spotter!
I am also impressed by the suspension of the Bronco, it's front is insanely leveled and planted, very good balance and doesn't unload even through rough sections. It's not only the vehicle, it's the driver that counts the most, anyone can make even the best rock climbing vehicle look like the worst if they are bad, so props to Kevin, he showed what the true capabilities of the Bronco Raptor is and or what it can be, and we can't forget about our lovely spotter who is a life saver in every situation.
Hey kids! A great way to start the year puttin' the Bronco to the rocks! The Raptor did better than I thought too! No body damage! All thanks to the crisp driver & keen spotter! Thanks Kevin & Brit for having us along for the ride..., exciting! Yup! Lite Brite rocks & rolls!
I was so glad to see Kevin explain that he engages his lockers BEFORE he gets on an obstacle that will need them. I get so frustrated watching people get into a tough spot, end up spinning tires -which tears up the trail and puts undue strain on driveline components- and then have to get reminded to engage their lockers. The mechanic that built my YJ (with front and rear ARBs in my case) way back when used to say to other people "Use that equipment you PAID for!" a lot.
Not to mention that spinning tire can shift you off of your line when rock crawling.
It’s nice that you and your dad can go out and enjoy the same hobbies 🍻
So cool to see you guys put the Raptor to the test. I got one back in October and it is a blast to drive. Haven’t done that type of crawling yet but looking forward to it….definitely don’t have Kevin’s skills though
When you did "You got to be nuts" and you started up and the camera fell off the dash, for a split second I thought things went south, then the next angle show the Braptor making its way up, WOW Kevin you have cojones and skills! awesome video as always.
I'm surprised the Braptor climbed that well. If the Nitto's do well in snow I'll have to get them for my next set. Impressive job tackling the obstacles both of you.
You can check out our last snow wheeling video! They did amazing!
Nittos looked like they were horrible at catching traction
@@NoSpillsChills What are you on about ? In the entire video from what I could tell the tires handled every obstacle with little to no traction loss, and even Kev and Britt themselves admitted how good they were as they were shocked and impressed at how well the tires performed even in the most complicated areas. I can name a dozen other videos that show what real traction loss looks like, if this is horrible than those videos are straight hell.
Looks like the front IFS really finds the traction, especially with Kevin’s great driving.
Another great video. Well explained and fun. Great to see a Bronco finally do well on the extreme rocks. That was super impressive. Incredibly smooth. Well done on the driving too. 👏🏻
Bronc busting, door busting - What's the Diff..!? Lot of pressure on those IFS Tie Rods too. Amazing vehicle and technology, for an amazing price. Nice job narrating Kev. I have learned so much from you two. Great driving example too. Girls talk us guys into doing things, don't they..! LIteBriteNationBraptorA-Mazes!
You have to be one of the only five in the whole world who will actually use a Bronco to really crawl. 😃
Awesome!! My Raptor is being delivered any day now!! Can’t wait. I would love to know what sliders you guys end up going with eventually. Nice work!!
Next venture motorsports
Awesome!!! Thanks!!!
@@LiteBrite Figured it was going to be Next Venture Motorsports
Congrats on 240k subscribers and still growing!!! I love how you guy's are always brutally honest know matter what! Great video guys ❤❤💯🤙
❤️❤️
I find it amazing that Kevin can walk with nuts that large!
It’s a struggle. 🤣
Easy peasy lemon squeezy! Love that y'all tried, and made it up, the you gotta be nuts obstacle! I was hoping you'd try it when I realized what trail you were on. Was not disappointed!
That is insanely impressive! Hands down to Ford. And it’ll go Baja!
You guys are really making me want a Raptor LOL! And also something more achieveable, the Nitto Grapplers for my next set of tires. Those things seem to hook up very nicely and I know the Raptor is awesome, but you guys make it look amazing. I love your videos, they come with lots of entertainment but also tips for off road and you explain why you do the things you do and I think Brittany is great spotter for sure and Brian a great driver.
Although I've been a Jeepster since 2000, I'm really impressed with the Raptor Bronco. Kevin tells it how it is, and if an experienced, hardcore wheeler is impressed, that means it's good enough for anyone. My dad retired from Ford, so he picked up a Big Bend Bronco. He is 75 so doesn't wheel, but he loves it for DD. I still think my next project will be a 392 because I want V8 power. Love the content Britt & Kevin!
The fenders sounds while breaking it was painful and it’s not my Bronco. Kevin getting out of the Bronco while still closed to the edge was stressful 😂 and we need more Britney driving, like she could’ve done the diving on the Jeep since Kevin did the driving on the Bronco
I’m tired of hearing about the grapplers! We get it you are sponsored by them but damn! Great tire commercial though 😂😂😂😂 love you
No way he scores this chick . He has to have lots of money.
Actually she makes all the money. He makes no money. Try again thanks 🙏
@sunnytaru scam
Here in SF Bay Area…saw a raptor..MSRP $77k…dealer markup, $50k!😮
Ford really nailed it with the BRaptor. I don’t think there’s another vehicle available that can rock crawl, desert run and daily drive with as few compromises as this truck makes.
It's not the Raptor, it's Kevin doing all this magic. I'm sure he would get further in a Honda Civic than a lot of people in their Raptors and Wranglers and other kind of cars because he got this special feeling how much trottle, brake and so on he has to use and how far he can go to not flip the car. Just amazing!
Kevin.....she's trying to kill you.
Be safe.
Here's my thing, yeah it can do a lot even stock. But imagine what a JKUR or JLUR can do with $115 invested. The jeep at that point will do way more.
"It's either going to make it down... or not" - Ha, I have said this before.
Love the Bronco content, and the little bits of info all throughout - starting from the flag at the beginning, to the IFS & Lockers to protect from damage, to Brittney giving the perfect lines to go on. All very entertaining!
Wow awesome channel guys!! Love your content!! New subscriber from wales 🏴 uk 🇬🇧!! 👍👍
Those Nittos! Wonder what the price difference between the Raptor and Demon Child. I’d have a hard time choosing between the 2. Maybe slight edge to the Raptor because what Kev said about the lockers, swaybars and it’s stock. Would love to have seen a drag race. Great job!
The Demon Child costs 150k at least, even without the labor cost. The Raptor is also a desert monster with way better steering and more interior room. The Demon motor is awesome, but not 40k price difference awesome (they paid a big markup).
Just fetched my 2023 Bronco Raptor from my dealer in FLA. I’d love to buy the sanme retractable/bendable flagpole you feature in the video! Any link to suggest?
Our Family loves you guys! ❤🇺🇸
Handyflag!
@@LiteBrite Thaaaaanks sooo much!!!! ✨🚀
Hey there, been with you for quite awhile, I really enjoyed Kevin’s comments about when and when not to use lockers. I drive a mostly stock 2004 Rubicon, but I’ve never understood when and when I shouldn’t use them. Maybe you would consider doing a video of understanding lockers and appropriately using them. That Bronco Raptor is a beast!! If I win the lottery, I’m going to own one!
Saludo desde argentina chicos ....muy buen contenido
Looks like the Bronco Raptor is what consumers wanted out of the gate !!! but @ $130,000 I'll keep my Jeep Rubicon it's been amazing !
They are 79k
Awesome job you two! Always look forward to you guys putting that Braptor through its paces and showing the capability. Cheers
I agree with you on the winch and approach angles. I installed the rough country hidden winch mount. Look into it Kevin and Brittany. The only issue I can see is that it sits a little low if you were in a mud hole and got stuck it would be hard to reach. The type of wheelin you do shouldn't ever be an issue.
That’s only for the 2.3 motor
@@LiteBrite I forgot about the different engines between the two. I just used the mount and used the factory skid. Can't wait to see what you do next! Love the channel and have been a subscriber for years. Stay safe out there.
Amazing stuff. Best Bronco wheeling I've seen so far! Subbed. We wheel way different down here with SxS.
For the price of a new bronco, especially the bronco raptor, it better do all of that with relative ease!!! To be fair, you two as a combo are incredibly talented. You know the sport and know what your doing and how to do it right. So that helps.
Sixth! Let's Go Bronco! Happy New Year
"Your face is like what scares me the most" Can we take that out of context?
HOME DEPOT 'GET IT DONE' MUSIC >> 8:45
Fricken baaaadddaaaasss rigs and awesome video! There were definitely some "pucker moments"! Glad everything's fine!
15:35 "You'll have to Austin Powers it"...ahhh...most won't even know what you mean, LOVE the reference. Classic scene, where the cart magically gets bigger Lmao!
I am so surprised at how well the Bronco does crawling. I also love the sound of the screaming demon under the hood of the Demon Child. I was going to talk to AMW about a Hellcat swapped wrangler but that Demon sound is like a siren luring me to my doom. 😫. I absolutely love you guys! 💕
Love the Braptor content. While it’s definitely not cheap, it seems ridiculously capable considering it’s basically stock(and as a fellow car guy in understand how hard it is to not mod something.) Y’all keep having fun and be safe! God bless!
Definitly. He said in one of the first videos that in his opinion he thinks the Braptor is the most all around balanced best most capable STOCK off road vehicle ever made. Nothing has been better that you can drive off the lot and do pretty crazy trails right away. It’s great at slow speed rock crawling, high speed desert running, and comfortable on road.
@@andyham6094 if only they were adorable lol
Great driving, you two are the best and my fiance and I love your content! Keep doing what you two do best and have fun! It's very entertaining and we love what you guys do!
❤️😁🤙
I really enjoy instructional videos like this.
Makes one more involved and much better drivers.
Thank you Kevin and Brittany.
Ford should pay Kevin, he is making this look much easier than it is. He is the best driver in rock crawling have ever seen.
Man that made those obstacles loo so easy, mind you it is being driven by a absolute king of crawling, keep it coming
I absolutely love your Bronco content! I kinda wish the Badlands worked out a little better since those are a little more attainable but still not complaining!
Loving the Bronco content. I think I even might have heard Kevin talk a little bit of trash about Jeeps and I'm here for it. Both are great!
Plan B … great name for any ford product 🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻♂️
I've seen a lot of vehicles on that trail ,watching other RUclipsrs, most highly modified and some can't handle that climb I gotta admit for a stock jeep the bronco rapter was unexpectedly good.....I can only imagine when u guys do upgrades
Kevin is such a great driver! The Bronco Raptor is still a great factor vehicle. Keep up the great videos.
Good morning guys ,hey if I remember correctly there's a RUclips video of a gentlemen that installed a winch under the Bumper hidden !!!
For the 2.3 engine only
I'm loving seeing different vehicles perform off road. I'd love to see someone got all in and build an IFS and IRS Bronco with RCV's and Portals and then wheel east coast like Windrock Park or Hawk's Pride.
Great looking rig (and spotter). Love the tyre wiggle call. You can only see that stuff with plenty of experience.
Kevin you have madd driving skills. You make it look easy. What do you think about the fox live shocks on the raptor?
Great video! The backdrop is incredible & the obstacle(?) were amazing. Thanks for the great content. Also, would love to see Brittany do some wheelin.
This thing is made for more speed and desert trails, whoops and yes it can do rock crawling but you already do all that with your other toys. Why not use this for a bit more High speed fun?
Well done, learned a lot. Appreciate you guys, Happy New Year! Much success.
didnt you show this all ready
every video i'm more and more impressed with the braptor! just awesome!
Expensive hobby. Breaking things offroading can cost a lot
the trailer hitch idea for the front would be PERFECT!! DO IT!! DO IT!! DO IT!! DO IT!! DO IT!! DO IT!! LOL :)
I don’t see how ppl find this fun but I’m actually impressed with the bronco raptors performance on those obstacles. Excellent video and you earned a new subscriber
Have not seen your channel in a while looks like you put on some muscle weight and getting pumped regularly and Kevin ain't looking too shabby either. Fred and the Mrs. still going off road bouncin and once in a while take the Jeep too.
I'm way more impressed with this version of the Bronco than your first trip out last year. Kevin's driving...spectacular! Brittney's spotting and camera work...chef's kiss! And the Demon Child...silly awesome...and then some. Thanks for the day.
You dont need a winch when you're the most badass vehicle alive; No really ford does that dumb crap, were just now starting to get a factory winch option f250s
Edit: Really. finished watching bro those live fox shocks have really treated ford well Its really impressive how they work with the vehicle and keep it super well composed
WISH LIST VEHICLE!
Lol well it’s only taking a 5k plus weight vehicle down big obstacles right against rocks and only breaking some plastic 😂
Really puts an end to IFS sucks for rock crawling keyboard warriors. 95 percent of people would not do, in their solid axel jeeps, what Kevin just did in the IFS Braptor!!!! I agree with Kevin that the Braptor is the best overall stock 4wheel drive vehicle on the Market!
According to both Nitto’s and BFG’s posted specs both tires are 36.5”. Nitto is 36.54” and BFG 36.5”.
Sometimes I wonder how much of a insurance policy is on Kevin? Honestly that was a smooth climb
Love you guys and how you’re so down to earth honest about product reviews oh and can’t forget jelly and peanut 🥜 butter love the Dogs 🐶
I am a huge fan of this channel, I have a RAD FIAT, sorry cant afford a off road vehicle YET....
just get a portable winch like I have on my FJ. You just need a reciever on the front (i have on on the back too) and wired for both. You keep the winch in the truck until it's needed...SIMPLE
Pass the same track with the Mercedes G 4x4², Land Rover Defender and compare it, all 4.
@FordPerformance @Ford use these 2 for your promotion of the Braptor! I keep referring these off-road channels that claim to be taking their borrowed Bronco raptors “extreme off-roading” to your channel. NOBOdY is wheeling their Braptora anywhere close to yours!
So a stock Bronco Raptor is better than a stock Jeep Rubicon because it has factory installed larger tires, 37 vs 35s, or there are also other things that it does better? And if not stock, would a Bronco still be better than a Wrangler, or in the case of modifying the Wrangler would be in another league? I'm also curious, a heavily modified Tacoma, for example, could it compete with the Broncos and Wranglers, or no way even with heavy modifications? And what about a heavily modified Power Wagon?
You said it right from the very beginning... Ford didn't care! Quit trying to prove Ford is better than Jeep! Maybe for Mall Crawling, but not for the real offroad enthusiasts!
Loved the driving instructions! Great add Kevin.
I piss on the bronco, even though I was thoroughly impressed with its performance. As a jeeper I cannot but help to secretly like the braptor. I feel like I’m cheating on my Jeep. God, please forgive me for I have sinned, I convented thy neighbor. God: it’s ok dude, that truck is hot.
Let me guess it’s $120,000 for this thing when you can just buy a Jeep or a Toyota and have a more than capable off-road vehicle
Yep yep, a winch is generally not the best look on the bronco. Aesthetics sacrificed for functionality. It is unfortunate. And yes, yes you are either way up on your grill causing issues, or it is mounted down low in a 'hidden' box (the city coffee shop winch) really lowering the approach angle or sticking way out like a fat lip. The best part is when people will argue endlessly that their hidden winch plate and or extended bracket doesn't change the approach angle.
Instead of doing this shit why not have a bunch of kids you are beautiful and smart pass that on its kinda your duty . And not just 1-2 kids have 4-6 . The world needs more pretty smart people.
Really impressed with the Ford. I’m a jeep guy though so I favor the demon. Great driving without a spotter.
People Hellcat Swap and Demon swap Vehicles all the time but nobody has creditor swapped or coyote swap a new Bronco or F-150 or anything Ford decided not to put a V8 in
should leave it stock for reviews to see weak points...but leave spare n rock sliders home on the trail/rocks?? climb was impressive but still nuts lol raptor bronco who knew lol. some office jockey designed the winchless bumper...
You both have amazing driving skills. Thanks for the tips even with this video Still want to see that Bronco with Lite Brite stickers!
that landscape looks exactly like the Roadrunner cartoons...meep meep...
This is just crazy! Would like to see a "Crawl-Build" G Class trying the same trail.
As an auzzie I drool over this vehicle it would be 200k aud to buy it import it and convert it to rhd
Great job!! And HUGE KAHUNAS!! lol I wouldn’t even be able to stand near to film
Saw a Raptor at a Ford dealership in AZ recently for $82k, my 22 Wildtrack was $56k.
Hey Kevin. You mentioned no place for a winch. How about mounting one under the vehicle mid way if there is a spot???
