I’d think real long and hard about getting a raptor over the 392. Especially the people paying over sticker for them.

Why would anyone care about 0-60 and 1/4 mile times while driving a brick?

This test is as important as seeing which 911 performs best off road ;)

I'd be more interested in seeing real gas mileage figures with the cost of fuel..

They are a content producer, the more content, relevant or not, the more eyes see it, the more $ they make. Don’t watch if you’re not interested. (y)

Why would anyone care about fuel when the vehicle has 35s or 37s.

Yep, I agree. Paying $100K+ with ADM vs $83K for the way I would order it. :cool: YMMV

Was curious how long it would take for someone to come out with a video like this. Awesome video @TFLtruck!

For me personally... Wrangler 392 starts at $80,000 and gets ~9 to 11 MPG. Bronco Raptor starts at $68,500 and probably gets ~13 - 15 MPG (although we haven't gotten real-world numbers yet). That's like $11,500 savings up front and ~$1,000 fuel savings each year I own the vehicle. Keep the vehicle for 8-9 years and we're talking $20,000+.

I'm not one who is all about maximizing fuel economy and I absolutely love the V-8 sound over that V-6. But do I love the V-8 sound enough to pay a extra $20,000 over the life of the vehicle?? Hell no, I can do a lot with $20,000.

When we ordered my wife’s 392 it stickered for $82000. We ended up ordering it though chapman under invoice and paid $71000 before taxes and trade. Also her 392 on 37s MTs is averaging 14MPG.

Agree. I have a heavy foot and appreciate some acceleration but I'm buying a bronco for offroading not the track

Definitely eager to see more comparisons (at sea level) and with some other actual things characteristics of the trucks being compared, but quickness matters. 0-45 is pretty much what I get to enjoy more than anything. Having a good sound and something under the go pedal makes a difference when you can’t be off-roading all the time… I can’t.

what?

your kidding right. Find me a bronco raptor that’s is being sold for less than 70 grand.

i mean, I’m not saying I’m getting a jeep, but you can get a brand new 392 wrangler cheaper than a Braptor easily.

to be fair, probably quicker too.
