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.

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

Good point, although when gas reaches $8 a gallon you may

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

Not surprised

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.

I really don't give a crap which is faster on the 1/4 mile drag.

Let's see which is faster through a whoop section.

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.

The 392 is for sure bad ass and sounds really good. But the Raptor will ride so much better and handle the faster speeds in rough terrain over the 392. The real deal video should be an actual Baja race over say a few miles or so. Sorry no way the 392 Wrangler wins that race.
