[@MichaelLochowitz]

When I paid $45K for my 2014 JKU Rubicon I was nervous to go extreme with off-roading it. I told my wife I wish I had bought an older jeep. Her advice was just wait, eventually this will be an older jeep. Now I’m having a blast with it and don’t give a hoot about pinstriping or worry about trail damage. I could not imagine the stress of taking a $100k vehicle off roading.

[@oliverpalmer7855]

That was exactly my thoughts, especially with my wife always wanting me to go a little more wild. Eventually since I had another car I was dailying, I just sold my newish 2012 jeep for a built 87 and it's a blast

You dont have to worry about offloading a $100k rig... you have to worry about selling your offloaded $100k rig 🤣

[@MichaelGou]

When I bought this 392, it cost me $200,000, while my friend paid $300,000 for the same car in China. Here, a 2.0T rubicon sets you back $80,000, so before you grumble about paying $100K for a V8 natually aspirated jeep, just consider the money we folks in third-world countries have to fork out to own one. Perhaps then you'll understand if it's really worth it. God bless America.

He said he would buy the 392. 🤷‍♂ It's what he was reviewing. Of course he would start off with the love for it. But when one push comes to shove, he can be very practical. But he still chooses a Jeep over the Bronco when it comes to hitting the trails. That is the take away here. 😉

This was one of my favorite Roman videos in a long time, or maybe ever. It felt pretty raw in all aspects, in a good way. A vulnerable opinion, a reflective stance on the market and TFL, a beautiful trail, two great vehicles and their subtle differences. Maybe it was the gasping for air, but it works! Great job as always team.

Shopped both and picked the Raptor. More comfortable inside and better factory suspension. Loved the 6.4 but thats about about it.

Love my Bronco Raptor more then I expected. Never have been jeep fan although great for what is made to do after major mods. Jeep lovers should thank Bronco for pushing Jeep to give people better options and style instead of minimalist safety and reliability without major upgrades, otherwise Jeep would be stuck more lipstick on a old design.

Great video, Roman and gorgeous scenery! I've been a Ford guy for many years, but that 392 Wrangler checks all the boxes that the Bronco Raptor doesn't! Those huge rubber/plastic fender flairs are just silly looking and no V6 will ever compare, sound wise, to the sound of a V8.

[@jeffk464]

They had to put them on there for legal reasons, but they didn't really pull off the styling. They looked just plunked on. They should have done more fender flair like they do for the F150 and Ranger Raptor. By the way if I were going to buy a Raptor I would get the Ranger not the Bronco. The Raptor pickups look bad ass.

My 2022 jeep wrangler unlimited sounds as good or better with factory pipes. But then she is a diesel, and she sounds like a diesel. When I went to finally get my dream vehicle. It was a long search. Two weeks it took me to find a diesel. That was brand spanking new. The eco-diesels are rare as hens' teeth now. I have 900 miles on her now. I bought an 8-year bumper to bumper warranty, based off not only my family's advice but everyone from the dealer to mechanics etc. She is surprisingly powerful. I'm driving her like a baby, but she jumps. Our driveway is 1/4 mile long we live in the blue ridge mountains of Va. There are no paved roads. My 3rd jeep. I'd never pay 100K for anything. 100K=House.

Too bad VW had to cheat with their "diesel-gate" debacle, it was a wonderful engine.

Does it bug anyone else that they always seem to go to the most extreme off road mode for everything? Most of the off road stuff happening in these videos don't require lockers or even low range

Great comparison, thank you for putting this video together… At one time I’d thought about a Bronco before they were actually out on the road and visible. Now that they’ve been out for a while, and they’re considerably fewer of them than Jeeps, I’d still purchase a Jeep as it has a history of off roading (and it just looks better)… So far as the 392 or the Raptor, if I could afford one it would be the 392.

[@HJOperative]

Just bought my Bronco Raptor last week for a Tax right off! Haha I love it so far! I have a built dedicated off road rig with solid axles so I am definitely aware of the pros and cons of both. For me I am using the bronco for mostly on road use so I really like the comfort of the Bronco. I see your point about the jeep being more integrated with styling. But really the only visible difference between a regular jeep and the 392 is the hood. The Bronco Raptor looks completely different than the regular Bronco, no mistaking it. For me the is a personal plus. Ford made the Bronco Raptor so so much different than the regular one with a different engine, axles, suspension, looks, lights, etc.

[@ruggedindsoup2135]

I wheel my 392…. when I first got it I was worried about being able to take the risk of scratching it or worse. After a little while I just figured it’s a Jeep, it’s supposed to have a few scratches or a ding or two. Now I’m ok with it.

One thing that confuses the hell out of me, is why did Ford put an analog speedo along with a massive digital one as well. I really like that Jeep kept their analog guages

[@Carl-vx9ws]

I did some digging into the manual for the Bronco, and the Raptor instrument cluster was shown as what would be in any Lux equipped Bronco, and the current instrument cluster for all other trims. Considering they changed the climate control knobs on the ‘22 models (removing the temperature display inside the knob) apparently due to availability of parts, I suspect the instrument cluster was another earlier casualty of part supply issues. Aesthetically speaking, I would have preferred all digital or all analog. I do find the Jeep cluster a better mix with the upgraded “Infotainment” display. That said, I love my Bronco, having owned a 2015 JKU for over seven years, it was an upgrade for me in how I use and enjoy my vehicle. I don’t have a Raptor and can’t justify the extra cost over a very well equipped “regular” Bronco. I feel the same about the Jeep, 392 is nice I just can’t justify the price. ✌🏼

I had a '98 XJ that I bought used in 2002. I drove it 19 years. It was mildly modified (lift kit, 31", tires, Detroit Locker, extra skid plates, and winch). Counting everything, I had about $12K invested in it. Mechanically, it was nearly bulletproof, but--like most Jeeps--it suffered from the usually litany of electrical issues. It was still going strong when I sold it when I relocated out of heavy-duty 4-wheeling country (I still have other 4WD's) and it would go anywhere that these $90K+ 4WD's will go.

Great explanation on why the shocks are "more advanced" on the 392 vs the regular wrangler...

There is no explanation because they aren't. Just heaver bound/rebound Rubicon shocks with damping rates to account for the heavier springs needed for the heavier engine. Lets not even get started on the fact that the 392 has less suspension articulation in the front because they can't let the front differential contact the oil pan...Which is achieved by using nothing more fancy than super extended front bumpstops to all but eliminate front suspension up travel.

I've invested probably $15k in my '21 Wrangler Rubicon adding steel bumper front and back, winch, skid plates, etc. This is a way to get to the finish line right off the lot and the best part is, all covered under a warranty. As a former Hummer H1 owner, getting over the fear of wheeling a high dollar rig is something that one needs to get over by just taking it out usually with other people who also have high dollar value rigs. The wrangler 392 and Bronco Raptor excel offroad, in wilderness settings where these vehicles truly shine. I can go places where other people just can't go. That is what makes them worth it. I'd be torn and as much as I'm a Jeep person with a Wrangler and Gladiator in the Rubicon trim, I think I'd go for the Bronco Raptor in this case.

[@JohnSmith-zi9or]

If I off-roaded all the time, the 392. Otherwise, the Raptor. Your videos make me jealous of Colorado and how beautiful it is. If only CO was a full red state and no income taxes.

[@chrispark11]

On the Jeep, the price really sucks, the screen is way too small after you've seen the Bronco's. I have the Bronco Badlands Sasquatch with Lux package and the biggest advantage the Jeep has is the winch option without having to do major surgery for cameras and sensors. That's the biggest issue I've found with the Bronco so far.

[@Yamanijja]

I loved the Branco but I saw many videos it has water leaks during rainy season, when you open the doors all the water from the top of the car going inside it, is that normal or factory issue ?

It would be the ford for me. I come from a very large family & when one buys a vehicle it normally snowballs into everyone else. At one time there were probably around 30 jeeps in my family and out of those 28 gave trouble. "Interior falls apart & lots of electrical issues".

@kinsmen1764 not hardly, they've all switched to Ford, & with no issues. I myself switched 30 years ago from Chrysler to ford & all my ford's have never disappointed me, can't say the same about Chrysler. All my Chrysler products (4) had engine or transmission problems. If you like Chrysler, jeep, fiat, Peugeot, Stellantis, then that's what I'd spend my money on, & spend, & spend but for me I'll take a Ford any day.

Bronco Raptor and Wrangler 392 are direct competitors but still excel at different things. The 392 is genuinely easier to handle in town, park, etc. The BRaptor is bigger, more comfortable and also super capable but in the rocks I still say Wrangler.

Everyone still seems to think the Wrangler is better offroad.

[@stevenscott8784]

When it comes to the argument of IFS vs solid axle, my opinion has always been that no matter how much off-roading you do, for 90 percent of us, your vehicle is going to spend the majority of its life on paved road. Me personally would rather have that luxury of driving comfortable on paved road along with the capability the bronco has of road, but that's just my opinion.

[@wallywanker7435]

Yep your right jeeps feel like ass on the road. Why feel like your off-roading when your traveling 1000 miles.

[@JOSHSMITH-ak47]

Agree to the end of this so much! Why I have a 2017 Wrangler I modded to have fun off road with and the 392 to keep low miles, resale value and finally when I don’t give a 💩 take it off road!

[@notreallyme425]

25:20 The 2017 JK, did you do a video on that? I don’t see it on the channel, link?

[@hallkbrdz]

Having driven a solid axle Jeep for the first time this year - unless I used it ONLY off road, I would never want one. It was easily the worst vehicle I have driven in 40 years. So for me, the Bronco wins hands down by default because most of the time, I drive on road. But for $100k both are too expensive, I wouldn't buy either.

Yeah, or the 4runner. Some people are pretty huge Overlanders or just weekend offroaders, the Wrangler's more for them. Supposedly they've improved the road manners of the 2024 Wrangler, but I haven't heard any reviews mentioning it yet. Another thing people do is have a commuter car and use the jeep when they want to. The Wrangler is probably fine around town but if you put a lot of highway miles on, its probably not great.

[@chipparmley]

I heard one comparison say the the Bronco was a street car that did ok on the trails, and the 392 was an off road car that did ok on the streets

[@heytherebato]

What kind of logic is that. These are designed to go offroad. Common sense states the better offroader is the better one. You think people care about creature comfort when comparing super cars and their track performace?

[@johnkraft5640]

You do not need 4 low in the 392. The torque of the engine will pull you along just fine in 4 high.

If I had to choose, no doubt it would be the raptor. Easily tune it to get equal or more hp and the suspension is just so much better and the bronco is more versatile.

They should come with a few Jerry cans to haul extra fuel. That 392 in 4low is gonna use a lot of fuel on the trail real fast. The Bronco Raptor isn't any better either.

Love my 392….had a TRX previously and the 392 is just more fun. Enjoyed the video.

[@factorvracing]

I bought a 2022 ford Roush Ranger. Same platform as the Bronco. You mentioned the independent front suspension. The computer is your locker. I was in the grading industry and had 4x4 all my career and my Ranger will go anywhere I want it to go. Did I mention cruise control for crawling that the computer takes over with almost no spinning. My truck is the top model for that year at half the price. I have Fox shocks that are adjustable.

[@davewoodmancy5124]

I would definitely buy the Jeep. The Broncos just looks like you're trying to make it to futuristic and that's not usually wanted on an off-road vehicle. You want something it is more rugged

[@backwoodstherapy]

Totally different vehicles. That Raptor can't navigate tight turns the Wrangler can, it can't flex like the Wrangler can, the Wrangler is way more moddable. Personally, I'd take the Wrangler but the Raptor has it's uses. I'd rather take a stock Willys and lift it and put on some 37s for half the price of a base 392.

[@JJ4213FL]

Im a Ford guy and I'd take the 392 in a heartbeat. Im a sucker for V8's and their sounds, and 392 is one of the best sounding. Plus, it's a factory V8...in a Jeep. That hasnt happened since the CJ5/7. Get your V8's while you still can!

[@RedMage117]

As an owner of a Chevy SS, you're speaking my language. I'd go with the V8 every time. But at 100k, Id probably go with a more reasonable Badlands Bronco instead. It kills me that they don't offer a v8 option for like $10k more, instead of this customer bilking pricing...there is little to no reason for the 392 to be 40k higher than a Rubicon.

[@JJ4213FL]

@@RedMage117 I agree.

[@davedawe2420]

I would have to agree with your final comment, Roman. The off-road capability of these vehicles in NO WAY justifies their humungous expense. A true off-roader isn't concerned about a ding or a dent, but if you're driving something that equals a second mortgage you're going to be a lot more discerning.

I'd go with a 2.0T Sport S. They can get almost 30MPG hwy, and they keep most of their power at altitude. Add Ox lockers and maybe a 4:1 tcase gearset yourself. 2.72:1 4Low is already pretty decent though. Fab some anti-sway bar discos for cheap. $100K for an offroad rig is crazy. Either Wrangler or Bronco can take a roofrack, a spare/gate rack, and a trailer. 'No need to haul bicycles inside.

[@TealOxAdv]

My brother has a 392 and looked at the Raptor. He said it was an easy decision. My experience with his 392 was impressive. Given the lower number of Broncos in the wild, we’ve seen a disproportionate number of them broken on trails as well (tie rods).
