Toyota guy here, but bought a used 2021 Bronco Badlands Sasquatch 6 months ago. It’s been so fun and no issues. It’s a beast off-road and I’ve ran it through intense Utah off-roading. So impressed. My first Ford and I’m liking it so far.

[@InuranusBrokoff]

Glad you like it. I'm a Ford guy, and all the bs they pulled with this thing from mark-ups to exploding engines, I just can't. My last Ford is probably going to be my last Ford. I'm thinking about switching to Toyota, but they've gotten rid of all the reliable n/a v6 engines. Edit: If I purchased a Bronco it would definitely be a badlands.

[@therealjohnsmith4811]

@@InuranusBrokoff Ford doesn’t do markups, the dealers do. And there was a very small amount of engines with a bad run of valves. There are no exploding engines. I have a 2023 Badlands with 35,000 miles at zero issues.

I was dead set on choosing the Bronco when I learned about the Land Cruiser. I still preferred the Bronco and took it for a test drive. The drivetrain is better than the LC but it is really, really loud on the freeway. It scared me away from getting one. I test drove the LC and recently bought the First Edition (at little bit below the MSRP). I chose it because I prefer the looks and want to travel cross country, as well as it being a daily driver. 90% of the time I will be on roads but I live in the Mojave and want to be able to go off road as well.

[@gerrylopez5743]

I saw another demo where the LC did all of that with factory tires. It was going against an older LC with off road tires. The new LC with factory tires outdid the older LC. Awesome 2024 LC.

[@sunchaser999]

Bronco is just about as good as it gets for off road. 35s, front and rear lockers, sway bar for badlands, good ground clearance. Otherwise LC overall more well rounded.

[@lloydswartz7354]

I went grenadier due to the weak front end and drive train construction of the Bronco. That being said I am sick of ifs and all the breakage. For a little more money you get a bad ass rig with one ton gear.

[@Offshore1977]

Off Road that Bronco is a beast. Especially off the show room floor.

[@EZapar]

As the Bonco's advocate. . . The stock tires on the Sasquatch are pretty noisy. If you turn on your front lockers while using the trail turn assist, you will really be surprised by how it works to pull you around a tight corner. (did I mention is has a front locker?) It's under a grand for a full set of steel skids for the Bronco via aftermarket. It does suck that if you want ACC and the front camera, you have to opt for the high/lux package. I wish you could have tested a fully loaded Wildtrak with the HOSS 3.0 vs the Toyota. As always, killer video Ryan, great way to enjoy my cup of java on a Saturday morning.

[@JCOTV]

Wow, that slow drifting feature from the bronco is awesome

[@lllateralus]

We LOVE our Base Sasquatch 2.7 twin turbo Bronco. Absolute blast to drive and wheel.

[@MaddNomad1015]

So basically if you want a more focused off road vehicle get the Bronco. You want more of a refined experience with off road capability, get the LC/GX. Bronco to me shines below 60k though, anything over I’d just get the LC

[@AtzenMiro]

The reason why Land Cruiser did the part in 40:00 so easy is because A-Trac is allways on in the background in the new Land Cruiser.

[@user-yl9vs9eh1w]

Atrac requires at least some wheel spin to properly activate. The tires in that particular moment didn't.

[@charliemcawesome5012]

@@user-yl9vs9eh1wNope. Atrac has seen lots of upgrades and requires extreme minimal spin to function. And yes it’s on all the time. The useless “drive modes” are simply atrac n slightly different setting. The 2nd gear start option in the 1958 is actually a lot more useful than the selectable drive modes.

[@jeffwarnerPHOTOcom]

@@charliemcawesome5012 I've been wondering about this myself. Do you have any references from Toyota describing this?

[@Steelviper61]

Since both of the vehicles will spend the majority of the time on pavement, I would opt for the LC. Good video!

[@ArkiDeos]

Base trim with Sasquatch package for the Bronco for me. I like more the looks of it vs. the LC. Ground clearance is important especially when you're in river crossing which you did not mentioned wading depth capability in both vehicles. And trail turn assist is a must when you are in the field plus front locker. Just put a proper rock slider and skid plate and you're good to go. BTW nice comparo video, just add river crossing on your future videos. cheer up..

I never though I would say this but the 2.7L TT V6 in the Ford Bronco is now (after the initial QC fiasco) a much better engine option than the new Toyota engines that are available for their Truck platforms, V6TT (very complicated engine) and the inline 4 hybrid system.

If 35s make off-roading too easy, then you need tougher trails. I rented a Jeep in Arizona with a 6" lift and 37s along with fully reworked suspension and I had several challenges with it. A lot of things my son was having trouble with in his Sequoia with 33s and his friend in his 4Runner with 33s, I went over with no lockers and zero drama. The things that challenged me were trails and obstacles they wouldn't even attempt.

[@Maxime-ho9iv]

Yea but then it’s a hobby, and a very niche hobby.

[@GuyThompsonFWTX]

I’m not wealthy enough to comfortably off-road an $80k vehicle. On the same note my manual 2dr bronco is a lot of fun to drive, the top comes off, and the wheelbase is short so navigating tight driving conditions is a breeze. Both are great vehicles.

As a toyota tech and a bronco owner i hard dissagree on the land cruiser being a nicer place to live. My manual bronco has the washout interior and its so much nicer than any of toyotas current interiors.

[@trailsetter]

Yugo was made in Yugoslavia nowadays it is Serbia in Kragujevac. It was made by Crvena Zastava.

[@drivingsports]

Yeah, my memory was pretty sketchy on that one. Close to the right area and of course it was before the Balken War, so naturally it would be Yugoslavia (hence the name, too.)

[@rokuth]

The Ford Everest is technically a Ford Ranger without a truck bed, and an enclosed cabin. It shares more equipment (dashboard, & interior included) with the Ranger than a Ford Bronco does with it. Mitsubishi, and Isuzu also do something similar with their pick-ups as well. The Mitsubishi Pajero is based on their Triton pick-up, and the Isuzu MU-X SUV is based n their D-Max pick-up. Where I live in Malaysia, these 3 SUVs are only offered with Diesel engines. I am guessing that the main reason that Ford doesn't sell the Everest in the USA is that size wise, it would compete directly with the Ford Exploder... I mean Explorer, and take away sales from the Bronco itself. I can see Mr or Mz Jo Average wanting a more civilized SUV than the somewhat rugged and rough Bronco. However, the American market would not really tolerate a body-on-frame, truck based SUV as Americans seem to prefer unibody SUVs. IF there is a market for the Everest, it would be a somewhat niche market. Unless they also do a Lincoln Luxury model of the Everest. Just my opinion, though. kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4DYl2icbtWEbsUsi=zWqmdTgbhIvQlbAZ

[@drivingsports]

The Ranger is basically a truck version of the bronco. They’re even built on the same production line.

[@bookofbonsai]

I don’t think it would be niche, look at 4Runner sales over the past decade. Interest in off road capable body on frame vehicles with good on road handling is definitely there, and the Bronco being so much louder with the plastic roof is a big negative for plenty of customers.

[@rokuth]

@@drivingsports : Maybe so, but the Everest has an identical dash to the Ranger, whereas the Bronco is different. The same as with the rest of the interior of the front seats forward. The rear of the Everest is unique, as it is supposed to be a 7 seater, but in no way resembles the Bronco's interior.

[@rokuth]

@@bookofbonsai : Yes, but it's a Toyota. Sorry, but Ford's reputation is very much lacking as compared to Toyota's, at least on both coasts. No to mention competing against the Explorer. Again, IMHO only.

Good review although the test should have been done with V6 in the bronco. Also when I test drove both, the LC had significantly more nose dive on braking than the Bronco. The Bronco does have more interior noise but that's bc you can take the top off, which is super fun. The ultra soft ride of the LC drove me nuts. This reviewer seems biased towards the LC. Lol. The only thing the LC has on the Bronco is reliability. I chose the Bronco bc ultimately the ride is better for me and it came ready with better ground clearance and 35s.

I’m a Ford guy, my 17 and 23 2.7 Ecoboost F150’s have been reliable and not missed a beat, Love the Bronco’s looks, but I’d probably never take it on anything tougher than a gravel/dirt road so a pickup with 4wd is more useful for me, but I really like the Bronco’s and I admit if it were me picking Bronco, but if I were picking for my wife Toyota, not saying the Toyota ain’t a good off roader comfort wise for her I think that’s what she’d pick too. Also I’m unimpressed with lane keeping and auto dimming head lights, maybe Ford and my Chrysler just have bad systems and I leave ensured off.

I think it's really worth importing a Suzuki Jimny and reintroduce it to the American enthusiasts. It can be an ongoing project, including importing accessories like lift kits along the way, and with enough vibe around it, it might lead to renewing the imports again. It's a vehicle which costs nothing compared to these vehicles, so much fun off road and capable as much as any Bronco. I personally own a Jimny, and it has so much magic in compare to these over-tech vehicles..

[@AnabolicRick915]

There was an auto journalist that did a review of one by driving it around the US, but it’s just not built for American roads. The major issue was highway speeds. The poor thing was screaming at 4k RPM and was only running at around 72MPH… a new transmission would definitely fix that issue but several other problems exist such as crash safety issues that would require the vehicle to need very specific updates to meet American standards.

The spare on the Toyota is underneath wich i find scary considering we have crazy winters over here up north in Canada After a few years with sleet and slush The nuts get rusty and imposible to take out Changing a spare on the side of a highway at minus 20 would be a hassle indeed

[@lloydswartz7354]

That is a sign that a 4x4 maker is not serious.

[@michaelmo6575]

That’s not at all how that works.. if you actually ever owned a Toyota or changed a tire you would know.

[@pliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii]

@@michaelmo6575 you make absolutely no sense whatsoever lol

[@michaelmo6575]

@@pliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii what nuts are getting rusty then? That’s NOT how the spare is suspended.. so many clowns in this peanut gallery…

[@mediocreman2]

Toyotas rust as it is, so that's a good point.

I would not consider the Everest to be an "enclosed Bronco", as it's literally a Ranger SUV, The Land Cruiser is far superior, though.

[@drivingsports]

Ranger is built on the same production line as the Bronco.

[@salsamancer]

Both of these are hideously expensive. You might be better off buying a cheaper regular car and a dedicated off roader like a RZR

LC 250 doesn't have front locker anywhere in the world not only in US. Only 300 is triple locked, but I know you know it.
