    Hey guys, a quick apology for an earlier error and a clarification regarding ground clearances (we'll have the error trimmed out of the video shortly - EXPAND for more details):
    *An earlier version of the video incorrectly stated the Rubicon 392 Xtreme Recon Package's ground clearance as 11.1 inches - it's actually 12.9 inches, as we mentioned in previous Xtreme recon videos.
    Here's how the two stack up by the numbers:
    FORD BRONCO RAPTOR:
    - Ground Clearance: 13.1 inches
    - Approach Angle: 47.2 degrees
    - Departure Angle: 40.5 degrees
    - Breakover Angle: 30.8 degrees
    - NO RTI SCORE YET
    JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON 392 XTREME RECON:
    - Ground Clearance: 12.9 inches
    - Approach Angle: 46.7 degrees
    - Departure Angle: 39.8 degrees
    - Breakover Angle: 24.5 degrees
    - RTI Score: 712
    On paper, at least, the Bronco Raptor still comes out ahead in the measurements, but it's closer on ground clearance than the earlier portion of the video suggested. We apologize for the error and thank you for watching!

    I have been watching a few other channels showing the Bronco's off road ability. Several others have shown the weakness of the steering arms on the Bronco, with arms breaking and leaving the wheels with no steering control. The 37 inch tires will add additional stress. I hope Ford fixes this issue. The extra width and IFS make the Bronco better for fast runs though the desert. The solid front axle and smaller size makes the Jeep the better rock rig. Great to see the competition between manufacturers, but as others have mentioned, the prices are crazy. My choice is the Jeep.

    • @hellkitty1014
      @hellkitty1014 2 года назад +5

      I think this is why Jeep fought so long against going with such large diameter tires for years because of how stressful they are on control arms, bushings, tie rod ends, etc over the long term. I really hope Ford beefed up everything for 37s...

    A couple of things to note about the 3.0 EcoBoost. That engine family, the 2.7/3.0 Nano, was built from the ground up for forced induction. It has a compacted graphite iron block, like a diesel, and forged internals. Just like a diesel. This engine family was built to be stressed and abused. Also note that Ford is using the same turbos as what the 3.0 EcoBoost already came with but are upgrading the compressor wheels along with adding freer flowing piping and exhaust. That’s worth noting since the 3.0 EcoBoost in the Explorer ST makes 400hp and 415tq while being tuned to run on 87 octane, and I’d bet the Bronco Raptor 3.0 is going to be premium only. This engine is going to be making mid to high 400’s and even more torque 🤷🏻‍♂️

    I know I'm in the minority, but after all of the hype, I'm slightly underwhelmed. I really thought they'd create a halo Bronco Raptor with at least the 3.5, or maybe even the Powerboost. But the Explorer engine just doesn't do it for me in this application. The Raptor may be every bit more capable than the 392 offroad, but the attitude of the JL elsewhere is superior. And why oh WHY is this thing heavier than a F150 Raptor!? I wouldn't be surprised if it is only about as fast as a 2.7.
    With the aftermarket community creating more and more offerings for the Bronco, I'd just build my own Raptor if I were a Bronco guy.

    Heading alone I can answer before watching this, because I have already watched your other video of the release on the Raptor Bronco. Ford F'd up on the engine choice, thus, the Jeep 392 wins this question hands down. I would not waste 1 penny on the Raptor Bronco. I would buy the 2.7 Bronco with the best off road package and be done with it. IF I want power from an off roader, the Jeep 392 would be the easy choice. ;)

    Those fenders on the bronco look awful. But I’ll be honest, this version of the Bronco is pretty good.
    You say it can crawl, but being wider when your rock crawling isn’t great when you’re in tight spots.
    Also the Jeep is so much easier to modify to do 7-10 rates trails. I’m not sure I’ll ever see a new bronco on Pritchett Canyon in Moab. But for the dunes I’m sure this bronco would be fun, but I’d take a 392 all day

I love my old YJ, so I looked at new Jeeps, and would have to cut the seat mounts and weld them together again like I did with my YJ. So I am redoing drive train on 1982 K10.

    I understand you’re doing a straight factory option comparison, but tires are interchangeable. The true comparison is with the same tires.

    In case anyone is wondering, the DRIVING RANGE of the Ford Bronco Raptor is 325 Miles (523 km) on a full tank of gas using the probable size of 20.8 Gallons tank that's on the REGULAR 4-door Bronco, so with TWO 20 gallon Jerry Cans attached to the back tailgate in a safety cage, you could get about 975 miles (1560 km) of driving range in good conditions and probably around 700 miles (1126 km) in horrendously bad weather off-road 4x4 conditions!

      Have you driven either? 392 is just a great sounding Jeep that sucks more gas, sucks on the road, and can't tow anything more than any other wrangler (although it can tow the same things faster!). Besides the sound the Jeep makes, the Bronco is 10x more fun to drive in everything but a straight line drag race at a stop light and can do everything else as well and better than the 392 except crawl over 6 ft. boulders which none of you are going to do anyhow! The 392 does put a huge smile on your face when you give it the beans though. The acceleration is amazing and the Bronco can't come close to it in that department. Oh yeah, the 392 starts at $12K more than even a Raptor Bronco similarly equipped.

So if the current Raptor variations are priced equal to (in my opinion) superior vehicles, when the R versions are finally released, they will compete well but their pricing will be a ridiculous amount beyond the competition.

    I just looked at leasing terms for F150 Platinums AND F150 Raptors and are now MINIMUM 5 year terms if you want the $700 CDN per month terms and a cheap buyout so I expect the numbers to be somewhat similar for the Ford Bronco Raptor. 3rd party Leasing is based upon MSRP and NOT dealer markup if you go through third party lease companies (i.e. here in Western Canada, we can go through Jim Pattison Leasing)
    In the USA, I expect leasing terms to be shorter at about 48 months maximum and PROBABLY around $575 USD per month with a bigger buyout. Insurance in the USA will be highly state-dependent in terms of per-year cost. This Bronco is ONE of the vehicles I would probably do a long-term 3rd party lease over an outright purchase since you MIGHT be able to protect yourself against severe dealer markups!

    I have been stubbornly holding on to my love for 4Runner, but i'll admit, some extra power would be appreciated!.. I did supercharge my 4Runner TRD Off Road, which makes the power and torque figures better.. However, that was back before Bronco was unveiled, and before a V8 Wrangler, so there was less competition... I can't believe that the 4Runner is actually starting to show her age, in a bad way.... We need the 6th generation 4Runner to be competitive with Broncos (with Sasquatch package) and with new higher powered Wranglers... Toyota has the engines and technology to make the 4Runner very competitive, while retaining reliability.. Heck, just give it about 350hp, similar torque, and give us TRD models with front AND rear diff lockers, and a KDSS option .. I know this will make TRD trims more expensive, but it WILL sell.
    I never thought I'd see the day where i so much as consider buying a non Toyota 4x4, but Ford has my attention!!.... If Toyota doesn't announce a satisfactory 6th generation 4Runner, by late Spring, I'm getting the Bronco!.. I need a real body on frame 4x4 and don't like Jeep Wranglers, and not buying ANOTHER 5th generation 4Runner, so Ford has my attention....
