@John Dillermand I third on that, once you start tossing mods into the mix it becomes much more difficult to compare vehicles because you stop comparing how the vehicle was built and instead start comparing how the owner modded it. I actually kind of wish TFL would have gotten a Non-Squatch Bronco because to me the Squatch isnt the "Rubicon" of the Broncos, the Badlands is. The Squatch package is more like an add on on top of the "Rubicon" level Badlands that jeep answered with the Xtreme Recon so comparing a Squatch Bronco to a Rubicon Wrangler isn't fair unless the Rubi has the Recon package.

@@SkilletsUSMC lol, unless you want to drive more than 5 mph. Then it's better at everything. The Wrangler does exactly one thing better than a Bronco: rock crawl. The Bronco is the better all-rounder and it's not close.

It was cute how the kid in the Wrangler scrambled to save his dad, he knew IMMEDIATELY what to do...probably not an uncommon occurance for them LOL

The Bronco appears pretty impressive, the Wangler is what it is and did nothing I wouldn't expect it to. The Landrover is interesting though. From what I've seen the main issue with it is the lack of room for bigger tyres and smaller wheels for "proper" off roading. The Defender was never designed to rock crawl. Its target market was people who want to pull a horsebox, boat or large caravan/trailer. The reason you can't fit 16 inch wheels on one is because the brakes are too big. It's brakes are that big because it has twice the towing and payload capacity of the Bronco. They are just meant for different roles. They are all "lifestyle" vehicles but there are many different lifestyles.

Before I was born my parents had to stay at the Ronald McDonald House near Milwaukee for over a year as my brother tried to battle cancer. My parents were struggling financially at the time and I remember hearing so much about how much it helped. Growing up I heard a lot about this and see the way that my Mom throws money at it now that things have improved for them whenever she has a chance. As much as your videos trigger me with my lack of a Bronco, and now the Gladiator I ordered in place of it (as the Gladiator plant shuts down) I'm reminded that things could be much worse. Thanks!

The 392 has absolutely no bearing here. A Rubicon with the Extreme Recon package and 3.6L (still less money) would be an equal comparison vehicle to the Bronco with the Squatch. They’d still be fairly equal in capability with the Rubicon having the advantage when it comes to tight space maneuverability.

It was great to see what a Defender can do. Thanks for listen us! You're doing a fantastic job!

To be fair, the Defender didn’t fail that obstacle. It was doing it! Understandably (and wisely) the driver pulled the plug but it’s premature to say that it can’t make it. I would have loved to know what the infotainment inclinometer was showing right there. I think Land Rover claims something around 45 degrees? I’m sure that number is a bit worse with how high it’s been lifted. Regardless, phenomenal video and thanks for making this happen! Glad to see the Defender on level terms show what it can do.

I love and welcome them all: The Bronco, Defender and the Jeep are all amazingly capable off road vehicles! This was such a good adventure to watch. The Defender looked like it was gaining the traction it needed to make the V Notch climb but could have used some more weight on the front to keep it balanced. A little downward force on the front on the vehicle would have stabilized it enough to make it up. I have seen people holding or strapping down vehicles in extreme situations to keep them from rolling or flipping, especially 2 door jeeps on a steep rock drop off descent. The Jeep is a tried and true offroad champion, the Bronco is an amazing new offroader of equal capability, and the new Defender is rig that can hang with the best off road while still providing on road performance and refinement. Out of curiosity I wonder how the Mercedes G550 4x4 Squared with the right tires would do on this trail. Having a diversity of vehicles keeps things fun and interesting.

Keep in mind that both the Jeep and RR cost well over $100k with modifications! That freaking Bronco can be purchased in that configuration for less than half that price!

It's got a solid rear axle and a sway bar disconnect. It should.

The Bronco DOES have more articulation. Between the solid rear axle, and the fact that it's not driving around on its tippy-toes all time, which is effectively what the lift on the Defenders doing.

It does have more articulation than the defender- 4" of lift doesn't mean it gained 4" more wheel travel.

Ford definitely has a winner, it’s packed with enough capability off the showroom floor to tackle some serious trails without the “will it get me home anxiety”. You shouldn’t have to make drastic changes to defeat that anxiety.

That’s a sweet and fun trail. I have some great memories there from back in the day with my TJ. All three vehicles did well. I’ve liked Jeep’s for 20 years but the Bronco looks like a very impressive rig. I think the Defender showed it’s not just a mall crawler but I wouldn’t say it was in its element either.

I’m pretty sure it’s the Wheeler Lake trail just south of Hoosier Pass.

As a Jeep guy I love that the Bronco is good because my next Jeep will be even better than my current one.

Defender with max-height air suspension has absolutely zero flex xD

That Bronco is truly impressive rock crawling even with the compromises. That rear control arm causing problems was definitely done like that for high speed stability when desert running. It's clear Ford wanted it to be able to do everything and considering that, it's impressive how well it holds up to the jeep. It's pretty clear it will never be better than a Jeep in a pure rock crawling scenario because of the IFS compromises but it's certainly not far off and I'm sure plenty of people will be willing to make that same compromise for the better on road handling.

In order for it to never be better than a Jeep rock crawling would mean the Jeep can go places a Bronco can’t. I’ve never seen a Jeep go anywhere a Bronco couldn’t. And I’m talking about stock vehicles. However, the Bronco can do something the Wrangler cannot, high speed desert running.

@@khakiswag - exactly, these Jeep fanboys get caught up in rock crawling which is a tiny percentage of off roading and I still have yet to see a scenario where the Bronco can’t go where the heep cant. Put them both on some sand dunes and that little poor jeep will never catch up

It's like that for cost savings. They could have mounted that bracket up between the frame rails and further forward on the vehicle, then used a longer control arm. Same geometry, better offroad, more clearance, more cost.

Thanks for the video and for supporting great causes. Not many companies do things for others and I’m glad to be a long time viewer. Thanks guys

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned it but I think you guys are top blokes for promoting a charity as part of the precious promo segment.

What I learned today? 1) The Toyo tires are pretty impressive. 2) Air suspension sucks for off roading besides for ground clearance. 3) The Bronco is pretty capable for a factory stock vehicle.

Great video! The new Bronco is great! It kept up with much more aggressive off-roaders while still being a great daily driver.

Only problem is it's nowhere near as reliable as a land cruiser lol. Still incredibly impressive to see how well it can keep up with the wrangler and bronco in true rock crawling scenarios. That traction control is no joke comparing it to the how easily the 392 spun it's wheels even with a front and rear locker. The only thing really holding it back is the lack of articulation.

Great as always, enjoying watching your videos over my lunch breaks!

I live about a mile from this trailhead! One of my favorite winter hikes with the dogs while the Jeeps aren't there.

Great job on this video, love seeing someone getting the Bronco out there and using it. The built 392 and defender were also cool to see.

i love how beefy those tires make the defender look

Great, heart pounding video! I love all three rigs!

I really think you should have tried to take the Bronco up the V-notch. It had a much lower roll-risk than the Defender.

Yessss it’s finally here. Legends at TFL

Best anticipated series on TFL offroad… will watch it again obviously..

I think you guys should do an off road video of a 07 Honda Pilot, 98 Toyota 4 runner, and 2010 Nissan Xterra. Sounds like a blast.

Great video, Tommy!! VERY well done!!

So this trail is more than I would ever attempt in my future Bronco, I want to offroad, not climb rocks. fits my needs just fine plus I can drive it to the trail. Don't need to trailer it.
