Bronco, Rivian, FJ40 and Jeeps Driving in Deep Snow | Oregon Backcountry

[@carperdiem8754]

So I dig the relaxing music. Also that Rivian did pretty good considering the long wheel base and weight

[@googleuser2170]

The Rivian did better than expected; it would be interesting to see it with a more aggressive set of tires.

[@adolforivera759]

This is all about the Bronco

[@DarylRagland-ds1op]

Yes it is ! Beautiful ride too

[@wheresbrent]

Really relaxing to watch- great editing. I like your style. I do Lolo in the summer on dual sports. Fun to see it this time of year.

[@Metaltech4x4]

Much appreciated! 🤙🏼

[@AdventuresOfRogersAndHenderson]

Wow, awesome video!! I love snow wheeling!! Really excited to have y’all involved with Broncopalooza 2023!

[@Metaltech4x4]

We are excited as well!

[@eduardoprofet3970]

The rivian would benefit from offroad tires for this

[@Rvoth70]

maybe a little more ground clearance for the deeper snow. Not sure if they can be lifted just a small amount.

[@justinjones1644]

@@Rvoth70 Height can be changed on the fly. I can't tell if this is either high or highest setting, but it's as high as the Bronco, just longer.

[@warrenburke7109]

I Agee with you that they probably did not have the proper tires for the Rivian

[@Catmemegod]

@@Rvoth7015 inches is pretty dang adequate.

[@jaimeduncan6167]

yes, but it will cut the range. If one really needs something to really go deep outroading better a well-prepared Bronco for example. The problem is that the Rivian is so good outroad (search Rivian vs Gladiator you may like it) that one forgets that is not intended to be a dedicated 4x4 but a lifestyle/adventure vehicle. It drives you to places to enjoy, the ride is not the objective.

[@elaine8477]

Fun to watch, but glad to live vicariously in this situation.

[@philnight9563]

That land cruiser is beautiful

[@scstudios8]

This is great to see these things in a real test. On paper, ground clearance, wheelbase, are easy to figure, but how it actually works is different.

[@rrtownsend6432]

FJ 40 is my fav. I have an FJ Cruiser TTUE and I absolutely love it. I also have a Jeep CJ-3B. Great video guys... Great video...

I know right! It surprised us on the trail especially being the only stock vehicle.

[@samhartfieldlewis5247]

Look really good trucks, hopefully they will come over too the Uk 🇬🇧 market.

[@CherokeeChief.]

It’s actually not that good when needing to climb obstacles. The traction control really kills the power. My friend has one here in Denver and we go off-roading at least once a month and my Toyota sequoia does a better job with ATRAC than the Rivian does. It slows us down a lot actually. But snow wheeling it’s pretty great with traction control off

[@cchallett1]

@@CherokeeChief.I’ve never had issues with the traction control on mine. Grips like a mountain goat. If you need more slip, adjust the trac settings or change the off-roading mode.

[@CherokeeChief.]

@@cchallett1 have you seen TFL off roads review of it when rock climbing. Same issues Iv had with it. Just traction control killed all the power and the wheels wouldn’t spin to the correct wheel when one or more tire was in the air. Kinda frustrating and slowed us down a ton. Tried every setting it had too and lowered the air tire pressure also.

[@Fredrik-v4z]

Rivian is one of my dream cars atm, even if its way to big, expensive and not available in EU. Throw on a roof top tent and go to Norway for an amazing vacation.

[@privettoli]

Could you buy it in the US and just import it? Or it's illegal due to weight/size?

[@Fredrik-v4z]

@@privettoli I think you could do it, but even if you dont mind paying there is the issue with service. But Rivian mentioned something about delivering to EU with the upcoming R2. Fingers crossed.

[@privettoli]

@@Fredrik-v4z makes sense, it's going to be an expensive purchase. There are people in Alaska and Hawaii who import Rivians from mainland and have to bring their vehicles to closest service centers mainland when needed.

[@Lucas50500]

Rivian seemed to do pretty well

[@Lustratum]

Seeing the Rivian out there is 🔥🔥 Its awesome to see such a quite peaceful off-roader. Like a deer just moving through the snow lol The traction control must be nuts on that thing. Would love to see one on bigger tires.

[@philnight9563]

6:18 you’re not gonna see a cyber truck do that😂

[@aliganim1288]

Solid axle is king

[@Metaltech4x4]

Big blocks too. But sometimes 4 cylinders and IFS work very well + can do 90 MPH locked in on the HW. No doubt though love solid axles on the trail.

[@jaredpena1068]

At 12:12 that's where the rivians crab walk comes in when you have a slope where your backend wants to slide down hill

[@Nightryderthebronco]

@7:14 into the video, there is a clanking noise, that may be from your Bronco. Mine is making a very similar sound in a similar situation. In 4wd, apply a minor amount of gas and clank, clank, clank, clank, then quiet, no noises.

[@sangh1120]

Im not in to Offroading but this video was awesome

[@AdventuresInTheSky]

What an funny cop, “is it street legal?” Cops should know the EV space better than they do.

[@JoeBlow-Knoxbaddrivers]

Revenue generating.

[@1MarkKeller]

Imagine the Rivian R1T with the Amazon delivery van headlights. It would blend in with all the other round headlights.

[@JTTV72]

Should’ve let the tool driving the Bronco be ahead of the group, at least if he gets into trouble it won’t affect the vehicles trailing. The way he almost slammed into the back of the FJ. But I guess there’s always that one squid in the group.

[@Casadetejas]

This!

[@donk9189]

The flex on bronco almost as good as on my mom’s mini van all I can say is wow !!

[@bikdav]

I know that such driving is GREATLY at dependent on the discretion of the driver. But, that BRONCO looks attractive to me.

[@RevN3]

Great video. Nice to see a Rivian off road. Looks like it needs some sliders though. What dashcam were you using in the Bronco? I like the details it throws in the video.

[@Metaltech4x4]

Thanks! The dashcam is the RedTiger off Amazon. It definitely added a nice touch to the video

[@jaimeduncan6167]

Hi, great video. Two conclusion, the Rivian is quite something, nothing beats a well-prepared vehicle, lifted, angles, and lockers but it did just fantastic. Second: the Bronco is such a good platform. Ford took years to bring it back but it's just fantastic. Going back to the Rivian I saw a Rivian R1T vs. Jeep Gladiator (no front lockers) and the Rivan did just fine.

Meanwhile, yesterday’s high in Florida was 88. 😂 I’ve never gone wheeling in the snow, but I imagine it can kinda be like mud: momentum and keeping wheel speed. So that dude was writing traffic tickets on vehicles… that’s aren’t on official roads? The heck…

[@a36538]

Was the steering upgraded for those tires & lift on the bronco? Do you have spare tierods?

Still running the stock tie rods on our Bronco Badlands. Yes we have spares ready to go but are yet to need them. Wheeled Moab, CA, WA, ID and Oregon for almost a year on 37's with no issue (yet I am sure the day will come).

Suitcase …air 🤙

[@fokker34]

Did the Bronco even air down the tires? Looked like street pressures.

[@Mark-hx3nd]

16 psi in the front and 18 psi in the rear. Rated D, but we had great hook up. Even when I high centered where we turned around, I was able to self extract by rocking it back and forth. It hooked up.

[@Metaltech4x4]

Dude in the gray bronco has wrecked a few times before this. Also rolled on and off road and jumped a 6th Gen Bronco Raptor so hard the landing set off the airbags. So ya probably will happen again since the dude in the gray Bronco gets out there and pushes all equipment to their limits. All part of designing, making and testing parts.

[@Mr.International82]

I’d be putting snow chains on the tires

[@20truck]

If you guys use that air compressor that hooks up to your battery so much why don't you put a battery connection on the outside of your vehicle that way you don't have to raise the hood and get to the battery. I've seen that on DOT vehicles that patrol the interstate and they need to jump start somebody they have a connection on their bumper and they hook the negative and positive up and jump start a car. As much work as you do on your vehicles that should be pretty easy for you to do.

[@Bacnow]

“In Russia, everyone is switching to Chinese SUVs”. 😂 1) every vehicle you mentioned is a Chinese knockoff of a successful non-Chinese vehicle! 2) Russian citizens can’t afford to import the genuine vehicles (G Wagons and Broncos that the 300 Tank copied) and would rather drive a cheaper Chinese knockoff that they can afford to trash in offroad scenarios. 3) There’s very little logistical support in Russia for Western vehicles as compared with Chinese vehicles! So, why would you choose something that can’t be maintained when there are other (less expensive) alternatives?
