LIFT OFF: 700bhp F-150 Raptor R vs Ford Bronco RAPTOR
The Bronco Raptor is a formidable beast - wider than most buildings, and powered by a 412bhp twin-turbo V6 - it’s therefore perfect for doing silly things in the sand and dirt. The F-150 Raptor R, with its 700bhp 5.2-litre supercharged V8, even more so. So we stuck Jack Rix in the former, Jethro Bovingdon in the latter, and told them to go shredding in the infinite off-road playground that is Johnson Valley, California. Things get a little hairier when Jack asks Jethro to “show him the way of the jump”.
ALSO in episode two: The Bronco DR is a bona fide off-the-shelf desert racer (hence the name), meaning for a mere $295,000 you could own a competition-ready, Coyote 5.0-litre V8 powered, off-road racecar capable of conquering pretty much any terrain this side of the moon. Or you could ask Ford very nicely to borrow one, insert Jethro in the middle of the Californian desert, light the touch paper and retire to a safe distance as he demonstrates what makes this car so special...

finally some really good top gear content..really liking the series so far
I spent over 100k and countless man hours refining my 1973 bronco including it's insane suspension. Now you can just go buy it all sorted. It's incredible, and awesome really.
This is what every boys imagination of what their toy trucks are doing in the sandbox. This guys are living our childhood dreams. I'm envious!
Good to see some Jethro content!
Last time I was this early my girlfriend left me
The right choice between these two is not the one you think it looks more fun, it's the one that better suits your use case.
wrong! the sillier one is the better one.
@@MA-ik7ys Nice! 😂
Still waiting for a V8 Bronco. That'd be wild!
Im surprised they haven’t released one, the name is so easy too. Bronco R or bRonco
@@Bhunky_ Bironco
Just being able to buy a bronco in the uk would be good
BroncoR has a nice ring to it
More of these longer videos please! In absence of any Top Gear episodes this is actually great content. Keep it coming
9:27 the back seat didn’t like it at all 😂😂
Guys.... You are now Top Gear as we knew it... With none of the fat. I love seeing Jethro on the KZhead content. Please, for the love of all that is fuel burning, keep up the hard work. It is fully appreciated. -a loyal fan
Possibly invite mr Harris once in a while and were done
The jumps were actually impressive. These are factory vehicles
I said the same thing wow!
Notice how they didn't mention any damage or bent frames. Doing this kind of stuff on a production vehicle is asking for it.
I don’t understand what you’re inferring?
@@albundy6284when you purchase a new Bronco, you get an invitation to a Bronco Off Rodeo, which is a comprehensive off road driving experience that showcases the features and capabilities of the vehicle you just purchased. You don’t drive your own Bronco, rather they provide you with the same model of what you own. So if you own a Raptor, you drive their Raptor. These supplied production Broncos are driven year round multiple times on these courses which includes rock crawling, water fording, high speed off road speed maneuvering, and for the Raptor, jumping. So the Raptors are taken on these similar jumps time and time again with no damage to the frame or components. The suspension was specifically designed for the intended use.
I’d definitely try this before that warranty expires.
I'm really enjoying the current series of Top Gear; it's delivering some excellent content!
Great episode guys, really enjoying this one! Please keep up the good work!!!
Can't wait to see the rest of this series!
Another great episode boys. Keep going. They’re awesome. 😁
Multimatic is the real deal.
The sound of that v8 is just Soo organsmic❤❤❤
Almost a return to original TG. Like it. It's not trying to be something it's not.
I searched so long for a raptor r but ended up with the bronco raptor and i couldn't be happier. I do miss the truck bed but the bronco raptor just does everything right for me.
Such a cool truck, that v8 is cool but the braptor is a better overall package.
37s. Stock That's still insane when you think about it.
Very Entertaining...
Great camera work! Good watch!
This is your best episode ever!
Wonder if they will give the Bronco a 700 hp V8 as well 👌
Great to see Jethro with Top Gear. He’s a proper car journalist along with Chris Harris. If this video contained the two clowns pretending about cars (excluding May obviously) I would never have clicked it. Online Top Gear keeps getting better.
Two handsome, intelligent and well spoken British men talking about dumb, over the top American trucks? Count me in.
Another good ep. Did enjoy
The video we all wanted 🔥🔥
i missed this kind of content from top gear😎
"It's rarely the fastest car that wins the race. It's always the one that crosses the finish line first." Reminds me of Murray Walker's "If you want to finish first, first you have to finish." I mean, it's simple, yet profound.
Great video
The Ride quality in the F-150 is incredible.
I don’t want to live in a country where you can’t get in your truck and blast around the dirt.
The bounce was insane!
Insane
Nice episode
This is good World Class Channel
love this'
Muito bom ❤❤❤❤❤
Wow 😳
Id really like to see you guys do a video in some UTVs. Polaris Rzr Pro R ultimate and Can Am Maverick R smart shox. They will put the f150 raptor r and Bronco raptor to shame in the desert and depending on what state you do it in they are street legal. This video was great love seeing top gear do some off road stuff.
They are after all not street legal in most places because of how extreme they are built, so beating the Raptor and Bronco is to be expected as they could never carry as much or tow as much or be a daily vehicle which is where the Raptor and Bronco outshines them while still being off road capable.
@raionshishi8290 what part of depending on what state in your did you not understand and what part of UTV did you not understand!?!? I'm saying for a video DID I EVER SAY THEY WERE THE SAMETHING!?!? I said I would like you to do a video on them did I say compare it to a bronco or f150 raptor!?!? Dbag
@@motorcyclestig8539 I think you need to sit down and calm yourself, if you are an adult you aren't acting like one at all, even kids are more mature than you are if that is the case. I made a comment in reference to what you said directly about the Raptor and Bronco compared to those UTV's, so you tell me exactly what was the miss communication ? I pointed out how you said they were only legal in certain areas and I pointed out how they are obviously more oriented for this type of purpose and not at all comparable to the Bronco and Raptor like you said. I am not being a "dbag", not as much as you at all. I never said you said anything, I simply made the observation of the comparison of their abilities in my comment based on yours, nothing I said was directed personally at you. You act all tough behind a screen, I bet you wouldn't even look at someone's face and talk like that in person, God knows you would be lying 6 feet under if you did.
proper way to test these, was tired of people showing the raptor take on trails.
Those are but hurt jeep morons 😂
Nice trucks. Can't seem to get over the fact that they still have that 5 button access system that still pretends to be 10 digits.
I love that a bunch of poms are tearing up America in American vehicles. Give me a job!!!!!
You should do the Trx and 392 Jeep Wrangler next
🔥🔥🔥
Thanks guys
interesting? good video
It was readily apparent that having a lighter engine reduced the rebound after the jump for the bronco in comparison with the F-150. They seemed to jump about the same height.
Yup. That's one of the many reasons they put the Ecoboost in the Gen 2. My truck still pogos, but it is way better than the TRX which can't run nearly as fast off-road.
❤Top gear ❤
F-150 Raptor R has an amazing v8 and the BRaptor is probably the best go anywhere off-roader you can buy.
15:09 - Please "yumps" one more time for me :D
Hello! And welcome to what’s left of Top Gear!
love seeing Jethro on top gear!
Woo❤
Wrong v6. Ford gt is a 3.5. Bronco raptor has 3.0. But. Still. Wood love both vehicles out here in iowa
Were those cam phaser rattles? 😂😂
Could you imagine going back in time in these monsters of trucks. Imagine going past a tribe of indigenous people at 110 miles an hour in the desert and knowing they have never seen anything like it before lol and then of course letting them take it for a spin!
Welcome to America gentleman
A real Baja truck would never have that 2nd bounce post landing.
Just have to adjust the suspension....not rocket science...but no, it isn't an actual trophy truck
Yep, just sits and goes
the DR sits and goes.... the two productions trucks have the extra bounce
That was fun 🤣🤣🤣😎😎😎👍👍👍
For the price of each, and being part of the assembly crew for the Bronco, I’d choose the F-150.
The F150 Raptor is not too big for the UK. Drove my one from Munich, Germany to Cardiff and even parked it in the John Lewis Car Park. Check out the reviews on google maps. :-) I also drove through London from West to East ... easy.
next time get some guys to try those big trucks or if they're from the usa could be teenagers
Can you buy them in UK?
guys will look at this and be like "hell yeahh"
Anyone else notice the front frame of the f150 moving?
cool
If its not going to be Chris Harris, these chaps will do. Thanks TG
They are having fun lol
The British having mild fun: I can’t believe this is legal.
What's your ultimate off-roader?
I like my tundra. Not as fast but it’s tuff
When I'm old I would like a Kia Sorento X-line 💚
Raptor baby!!! 👍👍😊
Land Cruiser
@@Larscarfanaticliefnot an off-roader lol
The damping is shocking on both of these 🤷 they both bounce back up once they land.
They are *FACTORY VEHICLES THAT JUST **_JUMPED_* , I don't think you have a good understanding of how special that is if you're seriously complaining about their behavior upon landing instead of appreciating the fact that they drove away from multiple jumps each without significant damage (or any at all, really). They are probably driving in Baja mode, which is set up to take whoops at speed, which has the trucks set in a more cushy suspension setting than you'd want in order to do jumps like they were doing and land without bouncing back up. I'm sure there's a way to set those trucks up better for landing without bounce back, they just didn't know how to do that, or didn't care about control upon landing so much as making sure the trucks didn't break from the jumps and making sure they didn't compress their spines.
What's with the KTM in the background? Motorcycle reviews coming up? 💪
They are gonna show the new 1390 Duke tomorrow (Nov 28th).
Just curious, if Top Gear is cancelled, what exactly is the future of this channel on youtube?
"Let her eat"
Broom broom
Where's the OG crew?
Amazon
Please which dessert is that in America
Just a shame they don’t do a F150 RHD RAPTOR for the U.K.
Ford bronco Raptor shares the engine with Ford ranger Raptor v6
I bet the trx cant do big boy jumps like the raptors.
Bronco 👍
I think it would actually be a tad slower and sluggish with a V8. Probably would have a longer boost lag. V8s have to power up longer than V6s. Also the elephant in the room is........Gas would be 5 mpg with a V8 lol
Bro you guys are seriously hating on the ecoboost???? I'm a blue letter master Ford mechanic and I think its the best all around engine available in half ton trucks today. Ive been working for Ford since I discharged from the corps in 2016. I bought a brand spanking new f150 short box single cab with the 3.5l ecoboost in the lackluster xl trim level, converted all the cold side charge piping to ceracoated and heat shielded 3 inch aluminum piping that's now all v banded together. I also stacked a haltech elite 750 on top of the OEM ECU for obvious reasons. I actually picked up almost 60 horsepower with just the charge pipes, mishimoto intercooler, built my own catless 3 inch stainless exhaust that merges both banks into an 8 inch long, 5 inch around piece of vibrant oval tubing, out dual to very small magnaflow resonators then to one magnaflow muffler that dumps out of the bedside just before the rear wheel on the passenger side. I put a camburg long travel kit up front with Qa1 3.0 coilovers and some 12 year old 3 inch king triple bypass. Then their trailing arm and coil over conversion kit out back with 28 year old king 3.0 coilovers and the matching set of king triple bypass for the rear. My truck is 2 wheel drive but it a cycles 18 inches clean up front, 22 out back, makes 434 wheel horsepower on the 38 inch tires, weighs less than 6000 lbs, and all in I only spent $48,712. On top of that the truck is brand new. I only have 8,000 miles on it. I've hit a 60 foot tabletop in it after racing motocross on sunday and the thing just GREASED it. It can travel over virtually ANY terrain at 125mph plus, The wife loves it. And to me, that's all that matters.
Yup, I am very much impressed with the 3.0 ecoboost in the bronco raptor. Don’t feel like it is underpowered at all, the noise was the only thing lacking. What state are u in?
@@KN-jw7ts Reno, Nevada man the 775.
I little suprised the F150 Raptor wasn't more planted landing after the jump.
If they ever make a 2 door bronco raptor I might bite, but for the trails I’ve got my badlands 2 door is much better suited.
I have the new GT3 RS and new F150 RAPTOR. IS THERE A better combo?!
Nice, I got a 19 M2 comp & 23 BRaptor
@@Lemie420 hell yeah brotha!
Only if it's the Raptor R, because there's a difference.
Man tbh there's no way that the new top gear will beat the old one, there's nothing they can do to beat it
American engineering vs British engineering....! Is this why Ford sold its ownership of the Land Rovers and Range Rovers years back? They've learned the game and taken it to the highest level? This is what the Land Rover and Range Rovers were meant to do, but failed isn't it? You wouldn't try to drive like this with any of those cars in this type of environment. I would love to see two vehicles in the Paris- Dakar Rally, and probably win too...
In all fairness, very few factory built vehicles can do what these do.
A first-gen Raptor ran the Dakar in 2011 in the "stock" category and did in fact win the class.
You are so right. Ford owned really good companies. Especially taking design notes from Aston Martin. Even Mazda back in the day. Volvo Jag LandRover
Why not just team up with Top Gear America for segments like this?
There are two top gears. Top Gear (the TV show, including the regional series), and Top Gear Magazine. Most videos in this channel are from the magazine. This series, "Cars and Stripes" is being put in by the magazine.
Why do they feel the need to make out the Bronco is less capable than the F-150 at the start? It's lighter and more nimble with the same clearance and tires? The better off road vehicle is the Bronco which Ford chose to upgrade to the DR spec?
#BringBackJeremy 😂
So much better than the TV show in every single way, especially the glorious absence of "cheeky" northerners who know obsoletely nothing about cars.
These boat tanks need like 2000hp to by any fun
The rebounding is terrible 😂 i dont know why ppl praise them as much as they do
Go find any other production truck that can take high speed jumps and not nose dive or have extreme rebound. These are as good as it gets for production vehicles driven by "novice" drivers. They deserve the praise because they are the best.
Adding screeching tire sounds to the soundtrack reminds me of something out of the 80s. Perhaps best not to do it in a review like this in the desert. :-)
If I wanted a braptor, I'd swap a 4 rotor in it😂😂
Way better than the Fiat competition
Absolutely
It looks a scene from forza
