I’m partial to Ford, but everyone already knows what Jeep’s have done for years. That Bronco is a good looking vehicle. I’m glad they took its off-road intentions seriously.

Something you'll never hear from a Ford guy.

Innovation from 1970🤔🤣

It’s all in how it is driven. If it was driven by a competent off-roader it would appear as a much more capable vehicle.

Yes it looks good

Yeah that was amazing. I'm so glad it was included. That was some honest off-road experience right there.

Great post. These vehicles are getting too big for wooded trails. 90% of these will never see any serious trails but the Jeep is still the most optimized for them. And the Jeep is also the easiest to modify with a lift and larger tires. That Bronco already has 35s and struggles a little to match the Jeep with relatively puny 32s or 33s. The Defender is really just going to be used on snowy roads lets face it. The Bronco will be better on roads and is a good all arounder

There's a reason why a Jeep will always be a Jeep

Jeeps are great but the new Broncos are just all around great vehicles both off rd /on rd. Good mpgs & proven Gen2 TGDI powertrain.

Exactly right. Successful Extreme off roading (Hells Revenge, the Rubicon, John Bull) requires a vehicle like a 2 door Rubicon with a short wheelbase, mud terrain 35’s, 12k wench, and a 3” lift over stock.

Yeah the Bronco and jeep humiliated the Land Rover

I was thinking the same thing. If I stack a enough rocks at the right angle I'm sure my AWD Fusion will go up it.

My gen 2 crv would have made it to the top. Being small and being able to pick your limes definitely has it's perks

I'm also pretty sure my car tires wouldn't puncture rolling over either of those rocks given I've been over sharper edged potholes and kerbs. If my car weighed an extra ton maybe it might have though.

No lies detected! Fail on the Defender tires. X2 even. I'd personally be happy with eit HF er the Bronco or Jeep.

Exactly and he chose the most horrible line and then see sawed on the rock. Not exactly how you do things.

I heard/read a funny comment once before , it went soemthing like this, if you want to go to the outback take a land rover if you want to come back take a land cruiser.

My father, master mechanic for decades, owned a large independent garage for over 50 years. Land cruisers, especially the older less electronic versions, were his favorite vehicles (also loved Ford half or 3/4 ton vans).

This is just an average 4x4 trail in colorado. I live an hour from this trail and have done them all.

Agreed….I’ve been searching for some off road videos of the new Bronco (driven by non Ford endorsed people) and this is by far the best out there

Thanks Josh!

Wow you should join the crew

Yup, this is just weekend wheelin. I laughed when they were talking about the “rock garden” lol

Agreed! Seeing the difference it makes in practice (rather than in theory) was super helpful for people who aren’t that familiar with off roading.

Strait axle still wins with more droop the down side.

Agreed

When there is competition, we as the consumer wins.

Very cool. I would take the wrangler or Bronco, if it's my money I would get the Bronco as of today. But that 392 wrangler is a close Second..Very close!

Yeah the Land Rover sucks on these American Trails but if you take it on some grassy British kind of land with a little bit of axle twister here and there the traction control is pretty amazing. I just like the fact that the traction control does work so great when needed. I am biased though I own a Land Rover but it's an old school Discovery 2 with traction control that works great and solid axles with no sway bars so I kind of get the best of both worlds. I do like the concept of the traction control being aggressive because if all you have is an open diff or a locker it's kind of nice to have something to not have to use the locker because the locker can sometimes be necessary but also hinder steering. But if you have traction control that works really really well it's just automatically happens and then it's off and you don't even know it and there's no thinking about it. And the one on my old disco too is actually pretty reliable it always works great. I've seen other videos with the Bronco and it's pretty damn impressive because it handles better on the street than the Jeep yet it still has front and rear lockers with decent articulation for ifs and Towing more than the Jeep

TOTALLY AGREE!!!!

Just beautiful

22:17 shows how a solid front axle can't be matched. Way more flex. Love the new Bronco, but Jeep is still the superior off-roader.

If you watch the end of the video with the mountain top scene, you can see a Toyota FJ Cruiser and what I think is a lifted/tired up Lexus GX460 (essentially a 4Runner). I have an SR5 4Runner, and sometimes wish it had more outright ground clearance from the factory, the TRD Pro model is a serious piece of equipment - it would be neat to see one on this trail.

Maybe RR should spec their OFF ROADERS with run flat tires.

@@mikefoehr235 the original ones for the army might have had some although don't quote me on that.

Last time I aired down it was to maybe 7psi....not 35 to 25

LOL - you win.

They had slightly different lines and angles as they approached the first dip. If you watch them as they are both in the first dip I'd have to call it a tie. The Jeep definitely didn't win.

Bro both were in different angles and line you definitely can't say wrangler has better articulation ! Plus this is not a Badlands 2 door which has way more wheel travel flex than the 4 door wildtrack which is more towards the desert racing so the actual comparison will be when the 2 door badlands will be included

@@nadirkhan7435 The Wrangler won plain and simple. The articulation with a solid front axle will always win. Break out the protractor ya soy boy Bronco fans.

Yes I agree the Jeep clearly has far more articulation despite Ford's claims of the Bronco having more.

@@Lex-Rex The Bronco Fanbois are also forgetting to mention the extra height from the 35s vs 33s on the Wrangler. That requires less travel/articulation for the Bronco for ground contact vs the Wrangler on smaller tires. Throw some 35s on the Wrangler, or 33s on the Bronco, and you will see the gap get even bigger in terms of how much better the Wrangler can articulate.

If the bronco sport badlands had the same max ground clearance as the defender the optional off-road wheels and tires that you can get on the sport would have probably faired better than those 20 inch rims on the defender lol

It's even worse !!

Yeah, it’s not really a fair comparison. You have the top off road package on both the Jeep and the Bronco VS. the decidedly non-off road options on the defender. Goodyear tires have the sidewall interfaith of a wet paper bag. Not to mention they didn’t remove the rocks they stacked for the defender. It looks really easy when they’re already there!

@@meptwal That's a landrover problem of available options.

@@feedtheagle6851 no, the options are available IF you can be patient enough to not buy one without. Despite the hate from ignorant people, these things are selling like hot cakes. That doesn’t help with junk stock tires, but does anyone who is serious off-road in stock tires?

My brother's son, too! A great bunch of people!

Yes sir! Would you happen to know the best way to give to them! Thank you and keep up the great work with your videos!

Yea, swaybar disconnect would smooth it out, but Rubicon can only disconnect swaybar in 4Lo..unless you have a bullydog tuner then you can disconnect swaybar in 2Hi, 4Hi and even lock differentials.

Makes one wonder if they haven't got the rim selection correct ( we've also see the wiring issues) what else is going to be poorly designed?

@4xoverland I'm watching your build with baited breath! Mine arrives next week.

TfL, are you going to take up the afterthelandroverexperience challenge?

HAHA! I was thinking about you when I saw this Andrew! And as we all know, the Discovery Lite (I REFUSE to call it a Defender!!) performed as predicted... All the tech in the world means nothing if those old fashioned things called tyres aren't fit for purpose.

Test drove the new defender and was highly disappointed. The model went from one of the best off road vehicles to the worst. They made it for soccer moms!

But they said in the video at 15:30 that the Defender's tires were the "off-road" option and the most aggressive ones offered by Land Rover or should I say Land Robbers hahaha! It seems their factory options are not up to par with the Jeep's or Bronco's. I think at this point, it is obvious that the Defender is not a true off-roader and it showed the direction that Land Rover chose to take the defender, that is the luxury SUV route, just like a Range Rover.

I agree with you so much honestly, but In this situation the break over angle 📐 was the part hitting. A suspension lift would have been more effective for the money to get through this obstacle.

@@mariosac130 keep in mind the first Range Rovers were fully capable offroaders. They mostly stood apart from the defenders by not having the interior of a tractor. They their offroad capability was downgraded and they introduced the Discovery to offer and offroader. Then the capabilty of the Discovery was downgraded and they introduced the new Defender that is not a Defender replacement but more a replacement for the Discovery....

@@mariosac130 well that's a lie defenders have 22 inch wheels that are also for off-road also jlr have affiliate links that have bigger tires that can fit

Yes, they took the Chevrolet Blazer path. Land Rover isn't the only one. But it must really gall them that Ineos is legally building the Defender they should have built and calling it the Grenadier.

That’s because this version of the defender is not designed for off roading. There are actuall rugged new defender versions. This is not one of them.

Yeah interesting how Ford claims the Bronco has like 16% more and it clearly has quite a bit less.

I don't know why they made this a "tell us what you think" thing unless they're trying not to piss off ford.

@@hacob2004 exactly!

100% agree. I have a 2020 Wrangler Rubicon but love the 4Runner and would’ve liked to see how it stacks up.

@@DAREDEVIL-vk3vi You do realize that every time they completed a course they literally mention how Tommy took the Bronco through harder and more complicated lines while the Wrangler took easier lines right ? The Bronco came out of all of this with a minor scrape, while having 2 passengers, a few luggage bags i see in the back and a freaking spare tire from a defender that failed. Not only was it WAY heavier because of all this, but it still managed to take the harder lines and not even sweat on it. Tell me how exactly did the Wrangler prove itself as king here if at all ?

Great video and very entertaining for sure . But pointless as no off road tyres on one vehicle and off road tyres on the others . What’s the point of that? Hundreds of LR videos out there with the defender in off road tyres. TFL is a well funded channel and should be comparing like for like. LR May, May, still be worst. But we won’t know. All we know is don’t go off road without off road tyres. Useful reminder but not informative
