[@bobkohl5406]

I am sickened by your (TFL Studios) incessant reference to the "OJ Bronco" and venerating of a convicted felon and sullying the good Ford name and brand. OJ Simpson is a convicted felon, robber, kidnapper and accused wife abuser and accused wife murderer. Please discontinue and edit out any and all of the references to the "OJ Bronco" when the correct terminology should be "Full Size" or "late 70's, 80's or 90's" Version Bronco. But Please STOP the association of the criminal OJ Simpson (who is currently serving a 33 year sentence for the above crimes) and the Ford image!!!!!!! This only sours the taste of the New Broncos (and the old Broncos) by associating the criminal OJ Simpson with this wonderful, beautiful product.

Toyota trucks have always been reliable. Is something breaks and you get charged for a lot of money? It's because you don't know how to fix it and it can just be an alternator and I'll charge you $2,000 because you don't know how to fix it with simple tools. Have a '07 4Runner with 200,000 miles. Everything is original except battery and alternator and tires and brakes and oil/filters. Lol cost of maintenance by self is 💯 to 200 yearly for good moderate maintenance. Good luck with cheaper build vehicle lol 🤣.

[@mikewright2858]

I disagree that the 4R is a direct competitor with either the Jeep or the Bronco. IMO, the latter two are more purpose-built vehicles. The 4R is for people who want to off-road and enjoy the outdoors, but still need a daily driver to cart the family around and maintain a large degree of practicality that, necessarily, more purpose-built off-roaders lack in many cases. I would never take the family on an extended vacation road trip in a Wranger. I know people do ... but the 4R is, for me, a much more practical family hauler, and maintains amazing offroad capabilities while doing so.

[@lorenzotelleria4200]

The TRD versions (off road and pro) are pretty direct competition and incredibly capable too

[@timglascock5558]

I disagree that the 4R is not a purpose-built offroader - they may be used as a family hauler but they certainly have offroad credentials. It may not be a convertable, you cannot take the doors off as easy, and certainly need to do more pursuation for larger tires but they are amazing offroad. Not all Wranglers or Broncos will be used for hardcore rock crawling or mudding. I hear what you are saying that the 4runner might be more practical for family hauling and the Wrangler and Bronco have some benefits offroad but I think it is worth comparing them because folks will likely use these vehicles in similar ways, will cross-shop them, and would want to know how they differ. Practicality is one aspect to consider but I bet they will largely be used the same.

I bought my 4Runner because it had a 3rd row seat, super reliable, costs less, tows more, and is for the most part just as capable off-roading. I used the money I saved and I have front and rear ARB lockers, twin air compressor, switch pro, bead lock wheels, 34” tires, .488 gears, winch, lift, full underbody skid plates, and more overall ground clearance than the Bronco (not talking about the sport). Now my whole family can go off-roading vs leaving 2 of them at home. When I reach 300k+ miles and still hitting the trails I will be happy. In the end I feel blessed because I know some people would just be happy to have a car. I won’t talk down on Ford but in the end we will see how many of those vehicles are on the road in 10-20 years.

Great video, can't wait for the actual drive over the pass!! I've never thought the 4Runner and bronco or Runner and wrangler ever really compete. The bronco and wangler are more "true" off-road if we need rock crawling. The Runner will do almost everything the majority of people will need. For our needs, overlanding, the 4Runner would be the clear winner. It appears to have about13 cuft more cargo volume than Bronco. 77 vs 90. And the roof rack options for a tent are way better for the 4Runner.

[@trailrunnah8886]

Same. I bought a 4Runner for all those reasons, even though I wanted a Wrangler at the time. For technical off-roading and ease of modification, the Rubicon Wrangler will dominate the 4Runner, but 4Runner is just a nicer daily driver and road trip vehicle. I look at the Jeep as an off-road vehicle that will work okay on pavement, and the 4Runner basically the opposite. The Bronco slots somewhere in the middle, it would be a nice compromise between the two if it was offered with a fixed-roof.

@@wiks101 well the soft top definitely sucks except for the convenience of opening it. But getting into the back is kind of stupid. As far as the hard top Ford's taking it in the butt for having it made in Germany instead of in the US where they could have controlled it. And since I have a two-door on order now waiting to 2022 I really don't care as long as I get it next year. He likes the bass the cheap plastic inside the Ford but what's going to look better in 10 years.

[@darrendaine4914]

@@wiks101 so if you get an outer Banks without the Sasquatch package which gives you relatively the same tires as a Toyota, and you get it with leather ,and you get it with the roof rack that he said it doesn't come with a rack on the roof and the V6 and the auxiliary switches and six of the eight goat modes, LED lighting the price comes to $53,480.00. I'm not the type of person to go out of my way to get the first edition of anything just to pay more for something you can get on a different model for less money. So every time they compare the price of that Bronco to everything else remember it's the first edition put all those options on something of one of the lesser models and you come up with a lot less money compare that to the Toyota I'll take the Bronco any day and I'll wait for Ford to send me my hard top.

I had a Corolla I traded in on a Mustang, I have a Ecoboost F-150, and I'm going to get a 4 Runner when I move in a couple of years. They are all extremely reliable (at least they have been for me and what I'velearned), and I don't have enough money to spend on unreliable vehicles.

Why? The FJ is pretty much a 4th gen 4runner with a different body that give bad visibility, slightly different gearing and add a rear locker. Minus the 2009 t4r trail that came with the rear locker

I like how they just make up facts as they go along... like this might be the most reliable engine ever. How ridiculous it is to simply make statements like that with zero evidence to back it up.

[@trailrunnah8886]

Apparently they are reliable, but I agree. These things have like eight miles of timing chain, and all the stupid variable valve timing. Not to mention even when it's brand-new it sounds like it's broken, so maybe you don't even know when something IS wrong with it LOL. I think my 4Runner is great, but I hate this engine with a passion.

[@mattg8116]

The 4 Runner is great and no doubt the Bronco and 4 Runner serve a majority of the same market but I think its plainly obvious that the Bronco has more potential both out of the box and with modification to be a serious offroader. Much more of a competitor to the Wrangler. The wheel travel and wheel package alone makes a huge difference.

[@trailrunnah8886]

Just the fact that you can fit 35s on a stock Bronco. You have to lift the 4Runner 3", and do a bunch of cutting in order to get 35s on it, once you do that you have to regear because there's no way the incredibly underpowered engine can turn big tires.

[@moab6g]

What I want to see is YOU doing Hell's Gate in Moab with the Bronco 4dr long wheelbase and limited flex with the IFS and compare with your Jeep 2dr shorter wheelbase and more flex with your solid Axle,,,,, This is something worth to SEE and COMPARE

[@Rooster_king]

If you want to go on an amazing off road journey you take the Bronco. If you want to make it back, you take the 4runner!

[@gs6810]

They say the engine is slow in that car because it's heavy but that's not really true. It's only part of the reason it's slow. The bigger reason is going to be the massive tires it has to turn on the Bronco.35 inch tires are going to slow down anything. Drag race a base model bronco with the same engine and no sasquatch package vs any v6 bronco with the sasquatch package and the bronco with the bigger tires is going to get smoked.

[@trailrunnah8886]

When Tommy mention that it's the same transmission that's used in Explorer, I bet that has something to do with it as well. The transmission in the F-150 is probably a lot stronger, I bet you that Bronco version has a ton of torque management to really limit the power that you're getting in order to eliminate risk to the transmission. I bet when somebody comes out with tunes for these, they are going to be MUCH quicker.

The biggest difference between these two vehicles is that you can buy the Toyota at MSRP, whereas the local Ford dealer will tack on a multiple-thousand-dollar surcharge to the Bronco's sticker price.

[@friscokid66]

Aside from any performance issues, the styling of Bronco is hard to beat. I have not seen an off road vehicle this good looking in many many years. Toyota on the other hand has gone south with cosmetics, with all their vehicles (BTW, I own a Toyota, cos they’re so reliable, but hate the looks). This Bronco really puts all others in shadow when it comes to looks.

[@robertyoung8289]

@@666kty3 Not even close. The Tacoma is much more high tech and that's the problem. I've had nothing but trouble obtaining low range with the switch on the dash.

[@trailrunnah8886]

It just goes to show how bad the drivetrain in the Tacoma is, because I hate the drivetrain in my 4Runner. The only thing I really like about it is that manual shift transfer case. Otherwise, the engine sounds terrible and makes no low-end torque, and the transmission is much too quick to downshift.

[@gordfoley4760]

The Bronco has hard plastic finishes in the interior for easier cleaning when you are off-roading with the top off. Why would you want a leather fancy stitched interior if it's going to get mud and dirt splashed all over it.

The 4R can do 90% what the Bronco and Jeep can do. The two biggest differences are the 4Runner has insane, industry leading reliability and is so, so much easier to live with comfortably on a daily basis when not off roading. All three are great, but if the general population takes a moment to be honest with themselves, 99.9% of people who buy these three will never be pushing it to the extreme limits.

[@Theone0611]

Ford plastic gets brittle in coupe of years and becomes prone to breaking. Compared to Toyota plastic parts. Also, Ford in general always have “unfinished” parts in the “finished” products. Cutting corners literally everywhere and don’t get me started on the Ford dealership experiences. The worst.

In five years, save for some wear on the leather seats, the wood and plastic trim, the whole interior for that matter, all look and feel like the day I drove it off the lot. I've only had to replace one running board motor, and that was covered under warranty. The truck, while not the most expensive vehicle I've owned, it has been the most reliable.
