"Take me home!" "Whoa, whoa, whoa" "That was close!" "We can do this!" With those phrases you know Ryan is having fun. There were a couple of times, however, when I thought he may be having too much fun. This is another good point for giving him high praise for these videos: he does get stuck, but not for very long. And he always tells us how he is adjusting systems to give him a better chance at success. Keep 'em coming, Ryan!

I'm thinking about getting one of these. I don't go off-road but sometimes when there's a line at the shopping mall I'd like to be able to jump the curb to beat traffic. Sure, it's $100,000 more than the car I currently drive, but think of all the time I'll save.

Tackling the hardest test hills in the raptor while being legs and torso proportionate! Hell ya

My goodness, that turn control was impressive 😅 I love these snow reviews so much and can't wait for the next one! You really push the cars to their limits, Ryan, and it's really entertaining.

Here in Dubai we have the same challenge with sand dunes. Reducing Tyre pressure to 12-14 is a must. Another trick that I learnt was when you’re on a steep incline and flooring it like you were at the end of your video, if you sway your steering left to right and back about 6 inches in either direction, it gives the car more sway almost like adding to tyre track width. That has helped me get out of many situation where I tried everything and failed. Game changer!

Drone shot of that turn control was next level

If you live in a climate where you are going to be dealing with snow and ice frequently, you would get dedicated snow and ice tires. Not sure this is a very accurate depiction of how one would tackle this IRL.

The more off road focused a vehicle is the more important it is that you match the tires to the terrain to utilize the technology.

Truly the best test for capability on KZfaq

Great content as always, Ryan. Thank you for explaining what you're doing as you're doing it for those of us wanting to get into off roading!

wow its super capable, loving seeing the difference with the lockers! ford killed it with this one

Saying it’s $74k USD MSRP is a pointless number now. Just say it, around $100 or $140k USD depending on who’s selling it.

God I love watching you guys push these trucks to their limits proper! Cheers boys! Happy New Year!

Great video. You really showed capabilities at many different levels, conditions, and settings, plus had fun, and it was fun to watch. It also looked like a lot of work. Especially for the guy outside in the cold heh. Databyter

That was fun and educational to watch regardless of Bronco purchase intentions.

Great video, loved seeing the capabilities of the Raptor!! That Trail Turning assist was wild, very cool feature

That was an awesome video, love this channel!!!! I was having a blast just sitting here on my couch, thanks!

That thing is awesome. Modern traction control is definitely cool but front and rear lockers still appear to be king. Also this is impressive on KO2s. While they’re excellent tires on almost any terrain, in slimy mud or clay those things load up instantly and have got me into trouble in the past.

The Best offroad and snow review!! Thanks to You and Cameraman!!

Forget "Fun in the Sun." "How about Fun in the SNOW?" Yep, that just happened.. lol Well done, Ryan. Thanks for entertaining us.

fantastic car. absolutely luv it. & thnxs 4 video.

Best off road review I have seen in a while!

Ryan, thanks for the video demo of the Bronco Raptor that showed its features so well.

We do this every January in the around the Keweenaw in UP of Michigan . Its called the snoball. Raptor Brand Event only. Will be with 120 Trucks this weekend. Just send it! Air down to 20-25, Snow/Sand, Traction and Advance Trac off, lock out all gears above 3.

Another great and exciting video, well done!

I like the realistic review on what it’s like to drive in the snow

I can't wait until I get home from work to watch this one! Heck, I even like it before watching..

Excellent review m! Bad ass bronco

Enjoyed the vid immensely. I have a VIN and projected build week of 2/13 on an Iconic Silver one. Collecting all the info I can. This was helpful. Particularly airing down to 12 psi. Thanks.

Love this lone videos, so cool.

Wow. Great video Ryan. I've got a 2022 Jeep Wrangler High Tide with 35" k02s. I'm gonna try airing down to 15 or so to help me get through this MN snow. Thanks for posting!

Snow chains would absolutely make this a monster .

Epic .. Love this channel

what an exciting video!!!!!!!!

Snow and muddy conditions are a great way to test your vehicle and your experience, also in the snow airing down low like you’re driving in sand always works a treat. 12:57

Wow, this is crazy awesome!

Mannnn do I need one of these! Especially after the snow storm we had today. Ford send one 😂

Nice. I have had Jeeps, a Land Rover, an X-Terrra (don't recommend), and Toyota SUVs. All great vehicles, but I have to say one of my favorites for climbing a snowy, and/or slushy, 1/2 mile driveway in New England was the Mercedes' E class with the 4Matic traction control. No, the clearance wasn't as good but it worked through the snow like a beast.

Reviews are excellent!

Loved it

Physics is constantly. Never stops.

Thanks Ryan! 💪🏼

Great video and off-roader

Better than a Quentin Tarantino video. I am sold! Especially when Ryan throws in: Whoa! Oooops! Oooops! Yikes! OK. Let's take a break... Another in a long line of effective and entertaining videos. In another lifetime I had a 1986 Bronco II that I adored and lost in the divorce... As Ryan might say, "Ooops! I guess I lost that one!"

Wow. That trail turn assist is pretty cool.

Very well done sir that a very capable Bronco.💪🇨🇦👍👏😉

Cool vid man!

Fun review Ryan !

That was awesome

Awesome SUV. I want one so bad!

Nice drive to work

awesome! ford rules!

I love the styling of it

Exciting!

This Bronco is so impressive

I always think why not drive Nick's GX470 as an old, slightly modified vehicle performance on all these trails at least just once for comparison.

love it !!

Amazing.

Awesome video, awesome car.

IMPRESSIVE! 👍

Great review though and man what a good looking setup

How did the Raptor go from $74k to $93k+ in a year. Insane. These are sitting on lots all over after the ridiculous price increases.

Awesome

FYI you don’t have to hold the buttons to engage the lockers. And you can leave trail turn assist on.

amazing

Impressive!

and finally ur vedio cleared my mind jeep rubicon or bronco raptor🙌🙏

Never thought a Ford would be sort of a dreamcar for me 😅

Terrific camera operator Nick Capetto.

what’s really impressive is that you did that on Ko2s. They are not really known for snow or mud performance and I personally wouldn’t have felt comfortable unless I had some KM3s for that course. Super impressed with the driver as he maximized the potential of those tires.

Impressive

Excellent video!! Would love to see this with a Wrangler 392

Sick video! Love the Braptor!

My experience driving in deep snow has taught me the first thing that will stop you is the diff of a solid axle. Once that starts plowing the snow it just piles up in front of it until you stop. With IFS, usually its higher in front so the front tires can cut the hard snow and only the rear axle will drag in it. You can almost always back out and take another run at it (as you did.) With a solid axle in front you just build a growing wall of snow in front. Once the front starts dragging with an IFS its time to turn around (if you can.) PS I would have like to see what trail control would have done. In similar conditions with even harder snow, I could get by in 4Low with rear axle lock as long as I kept the speed very slow. I was driving on top of about 2 feet of snow. It was still dragging a bit but traction could keep me going. It was a surprise to find out ATRAC was useless in these conditions. I think its because the minute it applied the brake to a spinning wheel it would just stop forward travel. When you're driving on 2 feet of snow, the last thing you want to do is spin the tires and have them dig in. I would not have tried it with a Bronco because it weighs too much. My vehicle was 4100 lbs.

This is my favorite channel by far! I would definitely get the raptor bronco if only I had two of my forerunners to trade in instead of one 🥴

Always 4L in deep snow and sand it makes a big difference. Also going up hill with rear lockers and less than 15 psi. Each -5psi increments increases contact patch 10%

Sand Mode is actually also a deep snow mode (it has snow in the graphic). Slippery mode is for paved roads with snow and ice on them, not ideal for snow like this.

Just look at Ryan's jacket and you can tell which brand loyalty he loves. ;p

Nice vid Ryan! 12 lbs is all the difference!

Waiting for your mud review of the bronco raptor same with the conditions you drove with the F150 Raptor! Haply camper and subscriber to your channel! Godbless and more powerr!

Wow , nice small hill

Great vid - thx

What Ford need is to bring a descent PHEV version of both F150 and Bronco: driven exclusively by electric motors, leaving the ICE to only recharge the battery. This way they could slash the fuel consumption by several times, as the electric motors are way more efficient, 95% versus 25% of the combustion engine - also, vast amounts of instantaneous torque at low RPM. This also enables the ICE engine to be much smaller and operate at optimum rotation for efficiency and durability, with constant engine RPM. This PHEV implementation also enables to utilize a way smaller battery comparing to a BEV - a fraction of what the Lightning have, reducing both cost and weight.

A have used the KO2 for a long time, on my 4Runner. I love them and just never going to need a different tire.

12:45 is easily the most relatable moment 💀

Nice. Now try 13% grade with same snow, and 2"of ice for a base. Much tougher. Only way I was able to do that was with chains. Put chains on the front and let her buck. Mind you I did it with our Bronco Sport. That is our driveway when spring hits. Thankfully I am able to use a dozer to clear it off when those conditions hit. The test you presented were less than what it's capable of doing. But thanks for a great video.

it makes me want to give up on a brand new tundra trd pro and go with this bronco raptor beast

very cool review. host kinda radiates home schooled vibes tho :D

I'll keep my 1998 4 Runner, thank you!

That's why I see lots of Jeeps, F150, etc in the ditch with their "mighty" KO2 during the winter. I say hello to them on my Hakka 9 while they wait for a towing.

Awesome video! Any chance you could do a snow comparison between something like an Outback Wilderness and this vehicle (Or something else more traditionally meant for snow like this? 4Runner?). I'm originally from FL, and planning to move up to WA. Looking to do a lot of snow/winter backpacking and hiking. I have VERY little snow/ice experience. It would be nice to see a comparison to set expectations more realistically.

Getting major Jeremy Clarkson "Speed and powah!" Vibes here today lol

amazingggggg

Wet, slushy snow is no joke.

Would love to see a TRD offroad 4runner on the same trail

Would love to see this on the 4Runner!

Just like the new 2022 tundra trd pro looks WAYYY better in black to hide the huge grill and huge front end that sticks out a lot, this bronco looks way better blacked out as well and let’s those giant obnoxious fender flares blend in much better with the rest of the body and design. With the lighter brighter colors, those black fender flares stick out and stand out like shaq’s sore thumb. They just look off and looks like an unfinished design in the brighter colors but looks great on this one but I’ve always preferred blacked out vehicles.

Seeing how a Bronco faired I have more respect for the Subarus they bring to the same course/conditions lol

Great stuff! Airing down gives you a longer footprint, width wont change much.

Great video sir. I prefer Toyo AT 3 in the snow.
