Is the 2021 Ford Bronco Black Diamond BETTER than a Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro?

The ALL NEW Bronco is back and Ford made sure to try to do it as best as possible. On the outside of the Black Diamond you will find LED lighting, modular front bumper, steel rear bumper and flared funders. On the inside you will be greeted to special seating, no carpet floor, and plenty of passenger space. Under the hood is the 2.7L twin-turbo V6 producing 330HP & mated to a 10-speed automatic.

I saw a video where another guy removed the panels. He took off the grille, doors, fenders, flares. He stripped it down to the bare frame. That’s a smart design, makes repairs easy and Ford probably assumed that trail damage would happen a lot.

Joe your reviews are always funny and informative. I have a Bronco reservation and just purchased a TRD Pro Lime Rush 4RUNNER. I believe the 4RUNNER is a better buy as a road trip/daily drive vehicle . The ride on the street in my opinion is better and much quieter. The 4Runner has much more interior room and can tow 5,000 lbs. Just a small point of order the 4RUNNER hood has gas struts not a prop rod. Thank you for your reviews. They have been helpful in my purchase research. Keep it up. The video camera work is well done.

[@SME5724]

You absolutely made the right choice … broncos are already having issues and well us Toyota owners know what we’re getting when it comes to reliability especially with the tried and true 4Runnner

Love the drain idea of this Bronco.....smart as heck. Probably shouldn't go through a drive through just because there are drain plugs there. Love the 35 inch tires, the design still gets some zonks like no rear arm rest and the window controls (weird location), but solid vehicle, and yes it's great for off-roading here in NYC. Makes you feel like an off road with all these darn pot holes. Thought it would be more expensive.....may get.
