https://www.motortrend.com/reviews/...r-vs-jeep-rubicon-392-comparison-test-review/

I've been waiting for these to start showing up - actual real reviews that feel like less promo / puff pr pieces, and actually have more of an comparisons of the two trucks. As a present owner of a 392XR and a future owner of a BRaptor, I can relate to all they say about the Jeep, both good and bad, and look forward to learning for myself about the Bronco.

Also of note: the Code Orange looks well, actually orange next to the Jeep's Firecracker Red Clearcoat - which is a great red IMO and looks really good on the big Jeep.

I came to post the same thing. Bronco Raptor beats 392. Mostly because it's 10k cheaper and does everything as good or better than the Jeep. @Administrator

Of all the things on the article, it was calling the truck “BRaptor” that got stuck in your craw? Lol. Incidentally, we call our incoming Bronco, “the BRaptor”

The thing I found weird was the price being anything to even mention in their decision. Who’s reading Motortrend *now* and deciding “yeah, it’s Ford for me, and I’ll save some money too!” ? Exactly no one.

You aren’t going to find a BRaptor for anywhere near MSRP… the Jeep is cheaper at this point

One of the recent featured posts the owner said he bought his Braptor at MSRP. It was the one where he had a wildtrak and F150 tremor with it.

Well that and another "unbiased" article essentially coming out to a tie in my opinion.

At MSRP, I can get on board that the 392 isn't $10k better than the Bronco Raptor.

But unless you've already won the lottery on a Bronco Raptor allocation with a dealer not charging ADM, expect to pay at least $20k-40k+ right now. Whereas anyone can go ahead and order a 392 under MSRP at a good number of dealers nationwide.

Is the Bronco Raptor $25k+ better than a 392 for an actual buyer in our market right now? I don't think so...

It really comes down to which one you like the best.

I'm pretty sure you aren't going to find Jeep 392 at MSRP either. I don't know honestly, but I read something awhile back about Jeeps having big markups.

More then likely a “golden ticket” holder. No dealership I’ve spoke to will sell a

you can find a 392 for below MSRP. It has more to do with availability than anything. No Braptord out right now to be sold. Lots of Jeeps

Honestly I don’t know how someone could prefer the 392 given the lack of passenger room, the lack of storage space for groceries, and the way it would blend in with all the other jeeps parked at the local shopping center/mall where I’m likely to be.

I’d be out there with my key fob pushing the lock button forever before I’d find it.
