Ford Bronco vs Toyota Tacoma - Off-road Comparison

[@Rwhittaker]

Great content. Keep it up! Thanks for the annotation on the videos. I often watch these when I have a couple of minutes free at work and can’t have sound on. So that is very helpful to have lockers on/off sway bar connected/disconnected etc on the screen. Thanks again!

[@4WDisLife]

than you! I try to make the information available in different forms (annotation, voice over, etc). If you haven’t done so, please consider subscribe!

Great comparison between the Bronco and Tacoma. Both have great platforms to work off of when off-roading and overlanding.

[@4WDisLife]

thank you 🙏

yoo i'm loving these tacoma pro's! they really putting in the work. love to see it!

I like both of these vehicles, but I feel that the Tacoma needs to give the Camry back it's engine and get a new powertrain because I owned a 19 TRD Off Road and it was gutless on the highway. Even the Broncos 4 cylinder has more power.

[@4WDisLife]

I definitely agree. Had a 2021 Tacoma as a loaner and it sucked in terms of power output, not able to predict when the truck will accelerate, I guess a 6mt would be better.

[@junfenggao]

I felt the same pain claiming up highway in Rocky Mountains. 6v taco is so unbelievably powerless.

[@MrNismopro]

I would tow 4000 lbs, and I live in flat Florida, and while towing that truck would cycle between 3rd, 4th, and sometimes coming down an overpass it would feel lucky and hit 5th. It was best to use manual mode and hold 4th. But off the beaten path it was almost unstoppable. I think the new Bronco and Ranger for this matter will change a lot.😉

[@JuanManuel-fm9jt]

IT HAS 278 HP, PLENTY OF POWER. GET THE KDMAX PRO TUNE AND LEARN HOW TO DRIVE

[@MrNismopro]

@@JuanManuel-fm9jt you obviously don't know what it takes to tow. Why don't you do some reading and see what number counts when towing. And then, maybe, just maybe, you can reply with something more sensible.

[@ZedZerps]

I'm liking the new Bronco quite a bit! I wonder how reliability will pan out.

[@4WDisLife]

I also like it, however time will tell for the reliability question.

[@Reecesavage-Alwayswin]

@@4WDisLife Same 2.7l from the f-150

[@fabulousoffroaddesigns5080]

Check JD Power report for 2021. Ford and Honda both beat Toyota in the small truck reliability rankings.

@@fabulousoffroaddesigns5080 😂

[@Bacnow]

No need to wonder about drivetrain! The roof is the only question mark but can be replaced very easily under warranty! The 2.7 EB is one of the most reliable turbo engines out there, it’s in millions of vehicles and can handle more than double the HP and torque. The 10 speed is in literally millions of cars, trucks and SUVs from both GM and Ford and is ultra reliable! Ford knows how to build reliable SUVs and Trucks (BTW i’m a Toyota/Honda guy so…)

[@bradleyjohnson3068]

I've owned my share of Toyotas and they are very capable vehicles but I'm very excited to get my hands on the Bronco Badlands that I ordered.

[@4WDisLife]

You won’t be disappointed, at least for the first couple years given it’s unknown reliability, time will tell.

[@crusherman96]

Why does that Tacoma have highway tires on it? Those aren't the Goodyear Wranglers it's supposed to come with

[@4WDisLife]

They are

[@crusherman96]

@@4WDisLife they are not. Those are the Yokohama Geolandar H/T. Clearly visible at 11:15-11:19 Edit: also the obviously different tread pattern seen throughout the video. Also just looked at your Tacoma vs Tundra video. Same highway tires as this video.

[@4WDisLife]

@@crusherman96 I see I see. I thought all stock taco trdpro is the Goodyear wrangler

[@peterhoma6385]

Stock Tacoma TRD pro and off road models have 30.5 inch tall tires , I know this because I just replaced my 265/70R16 on my 21 TRD off Rd 4x4 for 265/75R16 which are 31.7 inch tall

[@junfenggao]

New bronco is awesome and Tacoma is still a stable performer. Wish Bronco has the same reliability as the Taco that we always trust. Time will tell.

[@Reecesavage-Alwayswin]

How did you determine the bronco reliability was bad or worse?

[@fabulousoffroaddesigns5080]

Bronco is based on the Ranger and the Ranger beats the Tacoma for reliability again for 2021. JD Power results puts the Ranger in First place for reliability and the Tacoma in 3rd place behind the Ridgeline. Actually Tacoma never won a small truck reliability award until after the First Gen Ranger stopped production in 2011.

[@canalesivany]

@@fabulousoffroaddesigns5080 😂

[@4WDisLife]

@@fabulousoffroaddesigns5080 now is that initial reliability or long term?

[@fabulousoffroaddesigns5080]

@@4WDisLife long term. "Initial Quality" is 6 months and "Long Term Reliability" is 3 years. That is the first year the new Ranger (2018) qualified for the 3 year long term reliability. FYI: Toyota never won a quality or reliability award until AFTER the last Ranger went out of production in 2011.

I like the comparison but i think a better test would have been against the FJ Cruiser then it would have been fair.

If you have the Sasquatch package for the bronco with the front locker, the lift and the bigger tires you won’t see any of that tire spin. Badsquatch is pure Billy goat

[@pritbenipal9949]

Hey, I need an opinion/suggestion regarding the pickup truck and 4X4. I have never owned a pickup truck before. I am from Alberta and got involved in an accident a few weeks ago. I was in my sedan. Now I am debating between Rav 4 AWD and Tacoma 4x4. The majority of my driving involves the highway. I have a few questions for you. Are AWD and 4x4 the same thing? If not which one is better to drive in the winter slippery conditions. Which one has more traction/ stability? Please and thanks.

[@4WDisLife]

In your case I would actually recommend rav4. I believe the tacomas 4x4 is normally a rear wheel drive and actually sucks in snow without engaging 4x4. But then the 4x4 on Tacoma may still require to not be used on hard good traction surface so sometimes I feel trapped because it’s would be spots with snow/ice and spots dry. So I do believe in your case the awd is a better choice.

[@JPTinioMedia]

[@BoiseTDI]

@@4WDisLife How can you say not in reliability when the Ranger, which the Bronc is built from, has historically outperformed the Tacoma in reliability? Sounds like you definitely have a bias toward the Tacoma. Great video otherwise 🤙

[@StoicBerserker]

I wonder how much more gas it drank- the Tacoma

[@punknjt_italy8331]

The only thing worse than the review was the horrendous commentary. And that is not factoring in how poor the driving was.

[@4bvenom733]

Tacoma need same tires so it be a very fair match. Tacoma still does better with them ugly stock tires
