The biggest difference between the Raptor and any other full size bronco, is the Raptor will retain a higher resale value in comparison to the others, as there aren't as many on the road and people do want them, just not at $90K. I drove a 2024 Badlands with the same 2.7L and felt it needs more engine, the 325HP would move the Bronco fine, but lacks the git up and go I'd like to see at that price point. Also, I have an explorer ST with the 3.0 and yes, there is a HUGE difference in performance from the 3.0 to the 2.7 and hope at some point FORD will offer the 3.0 as an option in other trim levels than the Raptor only.

So for the Wildtrack, the sliders were aftermarket. As far as the tie rods, the Wildtrack comes with the 3.0 steering package (unless its a 2021), which is the same exact tie rods (except for length) as the Raptor. You can also option a similar bumper as the Raptor on the Wildtrack with the D-Rings, you're just looking at one build by someone who didn't add that... did you research at all before the video?. The Raptor has some insane differences as well as far as chassis design, suspension location and geometry, and of course, shocks. The Raptor is a BEAST off-road compared to a WIldtrack and handles whoops, jumps, and more with much more prowess. It also scores a 590 CTI score on a flex trailer vs a Wildtrack scoring a 480 with swaybars disconnected (unbolted since no electric disconnect). The Raptor is a whole nother ball game. You're right on the money for usage. Most people will never use the Raptor to its potential, I'm lucky to have friends that do and I have a heavily modified Bronco. Even after everything I've done to mine, the stock Raptor still outperforms. The axles are also exactly the same, same differential, everything. The Raptors are just a little longer because of the extra track width, no extra strength.

“Not a big difference.” Bro, it’s 1/3 more HP than the WildTrak. That’s massive.

Just an FYI that wildtrak has the High/Lux 354A package for equipment which gives the ACC and the B&O speakers and other upgrades. It’s not standard for wildtrak trim level. Also the roof rails are add on as well so it’s not a base wildtrak. Just in case anyone is expecting those features on a base wildtrak they won’t be there. Also, the 4A will allow the vehicle to switch from 4x4 and 2x2 automatically to be more fuel efficient than keeping it on 4x4. Better for winter/wet conditions.

Great comparison! A no bias/no BS listen. WildTrack it will be! I'd never go beat on either of these vehicles, unless situation dictated that I needed to. Not a prepper, while being prepared can't hurt; I need to pull a side x side, get to some un-surfaced locations to launch that side x side, and sometimes that involves deep snow and muck...looking like the 2.7 will cover that bill, with better economy...and oddly, as you mention, maybe even better amenities. Subtract 30 grand and for my needs, the Wild Track is a no-brainer!

Great review. Wish you would have taken some bumps at speed to see if the Hoss 3.0 behaves somewhat like the Braptor. Do you work at a Kia dealership? I would like to see a review of the new EV9. Thanks!

Seems like the Raptor should be the standard Bronco and base version, and maybe offer a V8 version.

Good video, man. While I do like the Raptor better, it’s not worth the price difference unless you’re doing hardcore off roading. Also, people sleep on the 2.7L. I’ve got mine currently running low 13’s in the 1/4 mile and about to do a custom tune w/93 and E85 Shooting for 12’s. Watch out 392 Wranglers 😅

Good comparison

Hey quick question, how often do you have to update the firmware on your JL Tazer Mini for the 392 ?

looks like the wildtrack is just over 69k now my raptor was right at 93k with price change. It's alot of money difference but in my opinion we'll worth it!

The Bronco Raptor 10 speed auto is different. We have both. Try both in Sport, and you will find the mapping in the Raptor to be very different. The Bronco Raptor blips the throttle on downshifts, the Wildtrak does not. Raptor Sport mode uses 2H rather than 4A. Both great, Raptor better.

Damn that’s crazy

I would pick the Raptor any day.☺️

I don’t like the buttons to get into 4Hi and 4Lo

What do you do for Kia ?

Raptor👍👍👍

My wild track has 37s 4 in lift exhaust kit chip so about 60 more horsepower I’ll take mine !

braptor alll day

392 on top

Why don't they make a a 2 Door Raptor?

absolutely $30K in different equipment. The Shocks, the Engine, the rock protection under the raptor, bigger tires, just to name a few things. A bit scared you are selling cars.

Nope 392 all day.

Toyota 4Runner much more volume

As soon as he called the plastic bumpers metal, I would not be able to trust anything else he would say. So I stop watching.

You ford boys are all the same. I do like the wildtrak, but I prefer a more manly vehicle. Can you do a comparison with a manly zr2 vs a feminine ford haha. 😂
