Cool!

Spoiler Alert: Ranger Raptor killed it. Impressive.

The RR seemed a bit built compared to the stock seeming other two. I could hear the waste gates pop.

All would lose to the Bronco DR
And did anyone air down?

That was fun! I do think she could have done better in the Bronco as I believe she went light lol... Just seen clips of her driving and not a full race....she sends it lol

I think it also has different tires from stock. Looks like it might have the 315/70-17 from the Bronco Sasquatch

At 1:39 they look like 37s to me. However, they don't look stock. That could be the sidewalls bulging out from airing down, tho. A lot of factors at play. Tire sizes, amount aired down with different sizes, driver ability, HP/torque, etc.

Different drives , different experience... The female driver was far less aggressive... and hit a boulder. This is just a puff piece for Raptor lineup.

I would have preferred to see each driver run each vehicle on each course and average their times. I bet they are close overall.

The Ranger is definitely not on 37’s lol. It also weighs like 500lbs less than the Braptor right?

The R appears to have been aired down some.

I don’t thinks there is any collusion here, except the mention of the Braptor running one of the test in 2WD and Baja mode. So did all 3 run the same “mode” and drive configuration in all of the tests?
37’s weren’t needed for this test, 700+hp wasn’t a benefit in this test, the more agile vehicle won. Remember when the Bronco sport beat the Bronco in an offroad test loop?

I want to see how fast the stig takes them around Gambon . Would be way more scientific than this test .

So far every comment is focused on the puff piece Raptor "competition". When in fact, this was a subtle promotion of Ford's Raptor T1+ that will be taking on the Dakar Rally. The "competition" featured in the video is just a fun filler.

That was a fun comparison. I was seriously considering the Ranger Raptor before buying my Bronco. I'll probably look at one in a few years after it's had a chance to work out the new model bugs.

This is an advertisement made by Ford, featuring Fords. The "competition" is just Ford making sure Ford factory vehicles look good while promoting their Ford Dakar entry. The mention of "collusion" in this case is just silly since it's an ad.

You must have missed the excuses for the Bronco this thread starts with before you read my reply.
I agree
