Oh joy, another click bait article.

Since when do drag times matter for an off-road vehicle?

the level of butthurt in this thread is most entertaining!

I love that the mad boost scientist has an entry on the list, a absolute brick from 1991, still whooping ass over 30 years later.

You want the Raptor to straight up murder everything? Call Gale Banks and give him anything he wants.

when you drive it on the road...

Sorry, to report that I don’t get the point….

Ahh, maybe, if you want to drag race, don’t get a Bronco?

I’ve lived with a 1950 Willys CJ3A, with open differentials, but an incredibly short wheel base, since I was in high school. I’m 71 now…..

I’m pretty sure it would fair very well against any of these vehicles in “trail” or “no trail” conditions. Been there done that…. Its original 0 to 60 MPH time was probably close to a minute, if it would even go 60 MPH without damaging the 4 banger hurricane!

...running my GTS against its competitors on the Rubicon Trail. That video would also be quicker than a BRaptor 0-60 time.

That sounds like some classic Top Gear stuff that I would rather watch.

2 high end luxury cars, the beastiest Bronco, and a Jeep: you will never see these vehicles racing through town. What a pointless test, might as well see which one fits the best in a Target parking spot too (hint as to which vehicle won't win that category).

No idea what my 2.7's 0-60 is but it has never felt underpowered.

I'm not a Braptor guy but it's definitely the all around winner of that bunch (and way cheaper than the Euros). A fire-breathing 392 combined with the Jeep death wobble seems just reckless and there is no point pretending the performance version D-Wagens and Defenders are ever leaving the pavement.

2 door is to squirrely for high horse power.

I hope it comes with a falcon.

V8 sound > V6 sound

Jason Cammisa takes the Bronco Raptor head-to-head against the Jeep Wrangler 392, Mercedes G-wagon and Landrover Defender 90 V8.


Acceleration Times
Mercedes G-Wagon: 3.9 sec 0-60 mph / 12.5 sec ¼ mile @ 110mph
Jeep Wrangler 392: 4.0 sec 0-60 mph / 12.9 sec ¼ mile @ 104mph
Defender 90 V8 (2-door): 4.4 sec 0-60 mph / 12.9 sec ¼ @ 109mph
Bronco Raptor: 5.9 sec 0-60 mph / 14.7 sec ¼ @ 92 mph


I think it’s time for a 2-door Raptor. Maybe Ford should consider adding a Raptor R V8 option to the 4-door to be competitive with the 392 as well. Although a 14.7 sec quarter mile for a 5700lb vehicle is still really good!

"In the real world, you put that thing against something like a Lamborghini Countach, my money is on the Raptor even though the 392 would leave them both for dead"

I love off roading my bronco a quarter mile at a time on a tarmac in the middle of nowhere

 

[Wild Horses 4x4]

Bet the Raptor put's them all to bed OFF road, as it's designed to... Who really cares about 1/4 mile times on these vehicles? Just my $.02.

There is no way those other two rigs are going to be able to do half the things the raptor does off road.

Jeep is eliminating the 392 next year, not to mention that quarter mile times are totally and utterly irrelevant in this segment.
