Bronco Raptor VS Jeep 392 - Comparison That ACTUALLY Matters!

This is our extremely unscientific comparison between the all new Bronco Raptor and a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392. It's not your typical off road or rock crawl comparison, but instead consists of real world factors that we get daily questions about. And although anyone could probably google the answers, why do that when you can instead watch us wield a tape measure around like we know what we're doing?!

An in-depth review from ppl who properly use the vehicles to full capacity is nice to see...

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

As a bloke from a MoPar Family, the best part of the Bronco's (the entire range), is that they force Jeep to work harder at the development of the next models out - Competition between manufacturers is good for the consumer, as it forces the product to be better if they want buyers.

[@PiDsPagePrototypes]

@@ladyrose3285 That's only short term. Once the 'new, shiny' effect of advertising on consumers wears off, the prices drop, especially in places where there are consumer protections from unrealistic mark-ups at point of sale. Dealers will report demand, but will artificially inflate prices by not selling at factory recommended prices.

[@johnsweeney4257]

I do admire your honesty and your objectiveness. One thing I would include regarding ground clearance at the front differential is that with the IFS, that clearance varies with dynamic loading... something to be aware of for those who don't know.

[@Chalino1]

I appreciate the time and effort you both put in to doing these comparisons, your honest opinions on both you guys are awesome love you guys 💯

[@fredbickert9474]

You have to check out my 72 bronco. One owner kind of. Dad bought it when I was 4 I've had it since I was 16

[@joelappin9735]

Glad to see the measurements. I was curious how close the width of the axles compared. Question answered, and I was correct thinking they were pretty close.

[@roymohr7599]

You guys are doing a great job on giving an unbiased view of the vehicle capabilities! Much appreciated!!

[@jamesconnely5932]

You always amaze how you keep information flowing to your channel👍

[@Malc664]

Invaluable information for anyone interested in offroad vehicles. Fantastic job.

[@donmcneal233]

Hey kids! I knew you guys were going to get to this head to head comparison between Bronco & Demon too soon!. Fantastic job breaking it all down & w/ tape measure too! As always, you guys & team @ Lite Brite rocks! Love you guys, be safe out there & keep the bar high! America First!

[@davewhanger6722]

Love all your videos Even though I'm a die hard Jeep Person you make looking at other vehicles fun! Keep the great videos coming! They both have their place.

[@ladywildstang9286]

Legit - ANYONE who is telling you that your raptor isn’t stock doesn’t understand what stock means. Clearly you both do. Haha love it guys!

[@jeffro8373]

I love how you guy's always do something different, it's things that apply to everyone!! Thanks guys!! ❤❤💯🤙

[@C.W.2]

I love how yall went really deep into the differences between the two vehicles just wish yall started them both!

[@mikeandshelliesoverlanding]

Love seeing all your content guys. Look forward to seeing all your videos

[@jefferya.7119]

Great video guys , I've only seen this one and it was the best one,two punch by a couple i've ever seen or any two person review. I would love having you two as a friend.

[@trevorhowell6575]

Would be nice to see a comparison on interior as well....like rear air conditioning, quality of materials...etc...but excellent video, was really surprised in dimensions...and I 100% agree with your take on these 2 vehicles in every way.

[@frankietuned]

Haha, I love when people try to label me as a Jeep person, Mustang person, BMW person, Honda person, Subaru person. I'll never understand why people can't have an open mind. Just be enthusiastic about all the good vehicles that do the work I want them too. Makes total sense now, why I love you guys soooo much! Keep up the awesome content!

[@roncrouch404]

Thank y'all for being y'all. It is refreshing in a world where folks are bought and sold all day every day. Great video. Keep up the great work!

[@drubradley8821]

Welp, I have never seen this channel before, and actually for the first time seeing one of your guys's videos, I rather enjoyed this. Allot of the info to some may sound silly, but I sat here on the couch with a tape measure in hand, on my coffee table running the visualizations to see what the cockpit size differences would notionally look/feel like if the acquired one of these Bronco's, while comparing what I already know of the Jeeps. I appreciate this effort from you two. Fun and information pact video. well done.

[@HangrysDailyAdventures]

Keep up the great work! I just took delivery of my bronco raptor, hope to run into you two soon! But im up in eastern Washington! But have trips planned down south! Love your videos!

[@indojeep2623]

It is interesting to see the size differences between the two. I will say I am a little taller and heavier than avg and I do prefer the size of the wrangler. It fits between the rocks and trees better on the trails. I've been down some trails where I would not recommend a bronco or a longer wheel base simply because of how tight the trail is. Doesn't mean the right driver can't do it though. It all comes down to each their own I suppose.

[@richrichardson7602]

Great comparison, I am a 6’4 person at 250.. i now have a brapter and my wife an I love it.. now we are learning to get on trails! Thanks for the videos!

[@rangerwolfhound]

Wish I would have read before my post. you may be my determining factor. Jeep or Bronco

[@rajohnson3251]

Thank you very much for making this vod...I have a Bronco Wildtrak and although I know that the Bronco has a roomier interior than the Jeep, I always wanted to know the demensions and you tow answered my questions. This was such a good VOD....so good

[@bullitt4930]

Excellent video! I've always said that I don't have to hate something else to love what I have. That rule applies in all aspects of life and makes life much more enjoyable. Both rides are amazing and it's great to see more and more people enjoying their vehicles. I'm happy with what I have and I'm happy for others for what they have. Cheers!

[@timjackson4927]

I like watching your videos as you’re real , personally I own a badsquatch, and love it. In all fairness I don’t do the same runs you’re doing, however I will be doing every trail that I’m capable of doing as the bronco seems to be more capable then I am at this point. There are nut zerts on my roll cage where those braces connect but my build was in nov 22. Hope to run into you guys sometime. Happy trails!!

[@stevenlippis5488]

I love the look of the bronco, and the raptor looks amazing. Also far more than I actually need. Not that it's available in Australia, and not that I could afford one. Will have to stick with my 90 series prado.

[@rockercover]

Have been seeing a few reviews of the Raptor pickups, this is the first Raptor Bronco review. (Last couple videos). Thanks! Ford Performance group is impressive. (Ford video commercials stated: Step up to Ford. Agree). Still have my 08 Ford Focus. Gets up and goes, plus corners like it is anchored to roller-coaster pipe rails.

[@blown3312]

Another great video! Love your Bronco content! There is one way to get rear cup holders with marine grade vinyl, 2 door! I have one! And before anyone says they are useless, my 10 and 7 year old kids ride back there.

[@quinnmortensen1415]

I love my YJ crawler and my 93 Bronco pre- runner. Both work fantastic for what they are built for. My 68 Firebird sucks off road though...

[@johnnyjangles8528]

Great content! I enjoy your channel and as a life long Jeeper, it's all 1941 for me. I will be 70 this year and I'm on #8, a 2022 JLU Willys. Keep up the great work and travel safe!

As a first time viewer I think that this video is informative and from the heart. I have a 2016 Wrangler and I love it. I think that I'm going to upgrade to the 2024 Wrangler as soon as it launches and I can't wait! Love the commentary!

My Bronco Base has the same interior room as the Braptor but only 73-1/2 wide and 71-1/4 tall ... LOL. Great video guys Love the Channel

[@chriskolin1096]

I have a 16 GMC 3500 dually for the road and hauling my 5th wheel. We bought a '23 Wrangler for daily and off road. Love them both for different uses. We've had Dodge, GM and Ford trucks and cars. Im not going to say one is better than the other because we've used each for different reasons. loved the comparison.

[@stephenhinkle3277]

Thanks for all the details and for the honesty!! Very informative video as always . Would love love love to see you guys weigh the two for comparison plus the step child while your at it... Any good truck stop should have a nice scale to weigh them. I used to weigh my old hot rod mustangs before and after mods to kinda keep track of things. Thanks so much for all you do for the off-road community!!

[@stephenhinkle3277]

Looks like the hidden reply is a scam. The comment scammers are here. BEWARE!

[@scottmorgan2467]

As a new subscriber to your channel, and as a Jeep Grand Cherokee ZJ owner mildly modified, I want to thank you for the comparison. It is interesting to know that information. I’m 5’7” tall and getting into my Jeep I sometimes hit my head getting in. My 2000 f150 not so much. My wife’s JKR unlimited, forget it! I have to duck my head to get in because of the factory “cage”. I’ve been thinking about getting something newer to wheel off road with but haven’t made up my mind what. So I appreciate the info you just passed along. Thank you.

[@joseph40ninjas88]

Useful info! Thanks

[@Craig-ml8nw]

GREAT info! Thanks

[@Tony-hf9mv]

I don't heavily modify my vehicles so for me the Bronco Raptor is the best out of the box offroad vehicle you can get today. Also the road manners are so much better

[@rodhester2166]

thanks for the comparison.. requesting part 2, maybe wheel base / length and angle front wheels at full lock next time.. cheers.

[@dsnyder99]

Great video! I actually thought you were both biased towards the Bronco, but at the end you said folks thought the opposite, so I found that interesting. Separate topic, my wife drives a 2022 4xe which I love to drive when she lets me. That said, I am 6'4 and fit comfortably, we all come in different shapes and sizes, but I wanted to mention in case it is helpful.

[@rglce25]

I was waiting for the Blondie song to pop on. 😄. One way or the other gonna get ya get ya get ya get ya. Great video that answers a lot of people's questions. Good job guys!!

[@scottallgire9745]

Great info, thank you

[@alexlubbe]

Kevin and Brittany, I quite enjoyed your TED talks lol. I also agree with you about the Braptor being stock. If you can in fact buy it from the factory like that then it is stock! Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@thelakecommander7632]

Love watching the content. Both are great toys!

[@montepaulson3131]

Great comparison. Two things I'd like to add. One, the front suspension ground clearance on a Jeep will not really change other than tire compression, but driving an Independent front suspension vehicle into a whoops or dip, you quickly loose lots of that clearance as the suspension compresses. I'd bet you'd loose 4-5" on that Bronco in a good dip with momentum. I get this allot on my Canam atv, going down into a dip in the trail and the front end compresses and slams the rock in the middle that wasn't very high. That's a win for the solid axle Jeep, predicable clearance. Other thing was wow, when you opened the rear tailgate on the Bronco, terrible fit and finish with all those spot welds being visible all across the main inside panel, shocking really.

[@alanseys95]

Kevin and Brittany you guys said it right on the point and give us some more off road between them

[@gilbertarnold8666]

Great video thank you!

[@QuinnBarri]

Great video! Would love to see a stock vs stock Braptor vs 392 all around comparison. Rocks dirt desert and street.

[@Goingforbroke71]

Raptor is impressive for being 100% stock even at 85k. I bet they have 130,000 in that Jeep. The front end on the braptor is basically all f-150 down to the bolt pattern. I have a badlands and only don’t have the bronco raptor because my dealer didn’t have allocation to switch to a raptor. The raptor exceeds the regular bronco in almost every conceivable way that matters. For a first effort the raptor is impressive for sure.

[@fxrsniper1]

Ok Compare the Bronco to a slightly Modified Rubicon 392 then

[@MSparks9509]

As someone who owns a 392 on one ton Dynatracs, 40s, blah blah…stock for stock the Braptor wins hands down. It wins against a 392 on 37s in all except acceleration. raw power, possibly articulation stock vs stock and ergonomics. Steering, better. Handling, better. Suspension, WAYYY better. I’d love to add a Braptor to the garage as a daily in a year or two. Would be a great complement to my rock crawling focused 392. It’s okay to like both!

[@fxrsniper1]

@@MSparks9509 LMAO bless your heart

[@The-fs5wn]

Not even just as a first effort. It’s definitely a top 3 vehicle to come out this year for sure. The other two are the Civic Type R and the Corvette Z06.

[@joshuaearnheart2756]

@@The-fs5wnz06 is very underwhelming. Still getting smacked by gt500s. And you still can’t tune them. Can’t add power. If I’m paying that kind of money for a car, I want to be able to do what I want to do with it

[@travisrobison8514]

As a Chrysler tech I see the problems they have on stuff all the time and I have chosen to drive a 2021 F150. That being said the dealership I work at has Ford, GM, and FCA and they all have their problems. Watching you videos I keep telling my Jeep friends I need a braptor. Great comparisons between the 2.

[@sylvain65]

Loved this side by side comparison.

[@bradmeacham6982]

As a giant, mutant sized 6' 6" and 300+ lb human being, the Bronco is a much better fit for me. I'm hoping the after market takes care of the standard Bronco (vs Bronco Raptor) suspension and steering weakness. I'm also really, really interested in seeing how the portal adapters work out for suspension lift and gearing for 40" tires at some point.

[@rugu6869]

My 2023 Bronco Wildtrak comes standard with the BRaptor HD steering components from the factory. I'm sure 74Weld Motorsports will have portals for the Bronco soon as they provide them to the Ford Racing team. It looks like the Raptor is the best overall stock 4x4 out right now. I wasn't sold until I watched a hour long video on the comprehensive changes made to the chassis and suspension to the Raptor vs. the standard Bronco.

[@marksullivan8200]

Cool video thanks for keeping it real

[@davidruppel1216]

I have a 2007 JK 2dr I'm 6'2" and I have the seat raised and close to the steering wheel. The only think my head hits is the roll bar that's over the door. If 8m using my harness it keeps me from hitting. I'm a Jeep guy all the way!

[@rodyoung6441]

Very well demonstrated, buy what you like or went, I'm a 392 jeep owner, I'm a mopar lover. But I really don't care what other people like or buy, that's why there's more then one vehicle manufacturer. Just do your thing!

[@zaphods2ndhead193]

Love these videos. I sure want the BRaptor but am not currently willing to pay the over sticker price for it. I still love my 2dr BadSquatch. Maybe in a few years I will trade for the BRaptor. Yes, the Badlands has weaknesses but I am addressing those as I can. So far it fits the kind of wheeling I do. My favorite place is Ouray. For me it is more about the scenery than the difficulty and my Bronco handled it without any issues.

[@franksmith9954]

[@sikinboat]

Love the content. And glad to see unbiased opinions. So glad to see that Ford really stepped up there game competition is only good for us consumers weather you love or hate either brand it should make Jeep look at changing things and if there was no jeep how lame would the bronco had been? Probably like the sad thing Chevy did to the Blazer. I had and sold a 1st edition bronco was great but was offered dumb $ for it. Wanted to go with Braptor but just so wide for where I can use it that was the problem I had with the F150 Raptor so maybe a badlands in the future not looking for crazy trail worthyness just some fun in Colorado the few times a year i can make that trip

[@justinspirational]

I'm 6'3 tall and have no issues with head room with my rubicon 4XE at least..a lot easier to park than the bronco raptor too, especially city living, so for me the smaller dimensions are better but can still get out the city to he trails.. it's also more nimble due to being smaller.. bigger isn't always better..I also think the 392 V8 engine sounds more badass than the raptor imho too

[@PhatboyHD88]

My wife and i looked at a new JLU at the dealership . I’m 6’4 and 230 lbs. what disappointed me the most was a measurement ya’ll didn’t do is in the foot well measuring from door to the console where the 4wd selector is , its horrible the console hits my right side of my knee .. and on a long trip and ya want to relax your legs my leg would be in so much pain from the console digging in my leg .. my older jeep the console is lower and doesn’t hit my knee .. and is much more comfy ( personal opinion) than the JL , shame because id really like a JLUR but i just cant its way to small for me in the drivers compartment.. great video thanks 👍

[@roderickhance2088]

Great comparison guys! So glad you don’t let people’s negativity get you down cause non brand bias is the best way to compare. Ford did a great job, but still personally pick the jeep every time. Just can’t beat the V8 sound/power, articulation, and trail width. Keep up the great content!!

[@nwmissouribroncos8035]

One of the biggest reasons why I continue to watch your channel is that you aren’t bought by anyone. I have a 22 badlands manual that I like. Except that it’s really needy, it’s a great vehicle. I have never had a new car that was so in love with its dealership. It likes to visit monthly. Small irritation type problems, mostly electrical. Just for context my first new vehicle was a 1989 S-10 4x4. I’ve never had one that spent this much time in the dealership

[@lesszabo5625]

Very cool, guys. I really wasn't aware that the Braptor was that much more than the crapsquach. Yes, I have driven one, and it is noisy. If it were not for the interest rate increase, I would also have a Braptor. Maybe some other time. One thing, though, I've been hearing some chatter about the twin turbo sixes grenading the turbos and / or head gaskets, your thoughts? Or Chris's?
