@@DjWesRolan Sorry bud but you're wrong on the locker/s. Limited doesn't have one and all other trims only have a rear locker, singular in factory trim.
The only thing better than the other here is the driver. The guy driving the 4Runner knows the benefit of a little momentum as well as smooth consistent forward motion. The other two are amateurs at best but we all have to start somewhere.
Both the Bronco and Wrangler drivers just need more experience and good on them for getting out there! Really hard to say by video but the Toyotas tires look aired down while the Bronco and Jeep look full of air.
All 3 are pretty capable off road vehicles, but I couldn’t help but laugh when the guy says “ wow.. look at the bronco climb that hill, and then 5 seconds later gets stuck. 😁
Not sure what YOUR definition of 'stuck' is, but, here in WA state, you are stuck ONLY if you need help to get out of what you got into. So he never got stuck. Personally, I just think he and the Wrangler have to get more experience so they know when to give it just a little more throttle....
That 4Runner did amazing job , Toyota 4 runner is a amazing SUV , it’s capable doing little bit of everything smooth on roads awesome off-roading and it’s #1 what everyone knows for its reliability 😁
It helps when you drive up a hill with a little momentum and consistent throttle. Being smooth on the Excelerator helps as well so you’re not losing traction. The other drivers not so much.
Helped him to have a bit longer wheelbase in that situation as well. He was able to get grip on those front wheels a lot better vs the short w/b of the Bronco and Wrangler.
Seems liken an apples to oranges to bananas comparison. Can't tell the trim level of the Bronco but it did better than I expected. The Jeep looked like it had open diffs and just larger tires. ATRAC works awesome in the 4Runners. And it appears none of them aired down which might have helped a lot. I've had two Jeep TJ's and am on my second 4Runner, love them both for different reasons. Love seeing people out on the trails having a good time regardless of what they drive.
I always laugh at these videos that do that. I mean, if you’re gonna compare these 3 (4Runner, Jeep and Bronco), at least drive similar bodies (such as all 4 door) and similar size and tread of tire. This one comparison was pretty much useless.
Now let's revisit all 3 vehicles here in twenty years and 300,000+ miles later. Bronco and jeep will be found in an auto salvage yard. Toyota will still be running like a dream, hauling the family, and dominating hills.
Eh, from experience owning both, our ford's and Toyotas have both been extremely reliable. But I agree when it comes to FCA products. Outside of ford, American brands don't have great reliability long term usually.
@@KB-bh9hp Ford is half way between FCA and toyota. Some stuff like old f150s can be close to toyotas and some stuff like their sedans are closer to FCA
@@shrayesraman5192The focus and fiesta with their dcts weren't great, so I'd say those are close to FCA. But the fusion and Tarus seem to be quite reliable overall.
Wheel base helped the 4 Runner. Also had the least of road tires. Going last is always better. You get to see the mistakes of the first two. Like letting off the gas just before hitting the steepest part. You can’t compare rigs with different drivers, off road options and wheel base. I would definitely choose the 4 Runner. 300,000 miles with hardly any repairs is most common. But expect to be visiting the gas station frequently.
What got them was the ice. Off road tires without studs are often poor on ice. If the 4runner was running all-season tires, it probably had the edge for ice traction.
Physics disagrees on that, for ice. Weight matters when there's something to get through (E.g. Mud, snow, etc.). With ice, you're already on the surface that matters. So, how much friction the contact surface can make is what matters, meaning the tires.
I just crossed the 200,000 mile mark on my 2004 4Runner Sport (4.7-liter V8). I called my mechanic to schedule the 200K service and he said, "You might want to start saving up for a new truck in about 10 years. Your old 4Runner only has about another 800,000 miles left in it."
I've been watching video after video of the bronco, in snow, deserts, mud, you name it. It is unbelievably capable for a factory vehicle. I know exactly where my savings are going
Nice vid. Yota guy aired down and picked good lines. Bronco and Jeep guys need spotters. Their lines sucked (losing traction and turning the wheels uphill doesn't work) If anything, this video shows the advantage of a long wheel base... Or you can go to a Bronco-Rodeo and experience the difference first hand.
Yeah also shows the advantage of experience and importance for picking lines and also watching the guy that goes before you. I'd immediately have tried to straddle the rut on right side like the 4runner did there instead of trying to yeet it up the hill
I’ve seen the “fair” comparison: SR5 4Runner (base model) vs. 4door Jeep Wrangler base model, vs. 4door Bronco base model. All three were stock , even the tires, and we used the same driver. The 4Runner embarrassed both the Jeep and the Bronco, it didn’t even matter if the 4Runner went first or last over, through, or up the obstacle. The Bronco took a solid 2nd place. The Jeep really struggled. I think that’s “Fair”.
You can’t be serious. Solid axles shit on IFS any day when both are running lockers. Wranglers are flat out more capable. Same with 80s-90s solid axle land cruisers, patrols, and defenders. Fuck of with the 4 runner IFS shit
That’s a damn limited 4runner which is basically the city slicking mall crawling soccer mom trim and the fact it is still this capable is amazinggggg. 4runner gang for life
they all have roots with the wrangler... original Landcruiser was a wrangler clone and the modern 4runner is just an evolution of that original jeep clone
Amazing how many people will still put down a 4Runner even after proof is shown to them how easy it can traverse terrain other vehicles struggle on. Credit where credit is due. ;)
So 4Runner being the least capable off roader out of the 3, made the hill look like child’s play while the other 2 struggled badly? Seems to me toyota knows how to make a damn good 4x4 and reliable one at that .
The longer wheelbase typically helps on hill climbs. In this case the longer wheelbase of the 4Runner let the front tires reach traction past the slick part as the rear tires are driving the vehicle up the hill. The Bronco and Jeep had all four tires on the slick part at the same time, that's why they had to use momentum to carry them past the slick part.
and being the 3rd one to go had more rock/dirt thrown onto the snow and ice and maybe some melting. that being said i wouldnt trade my Toyota for anything.
No surprise here. The 4Runner is just a beast off road basically stock. Locking front and/or rear diffs along with longer wheel base can make them very capable.
The secret weapon the Limited trim in the 4Runner is the TORSEN center Diff. That's what makes all the difference in the world. vs a 2 speed transfer case in the other 4Runner trims.
Does anyone know the actual ground clearance on a stock 33s badlands model without Sasquatch? Everyone talks about 32 inch tire on black diamond only has 8.4 inches of ground clearance, but with HOSS suspension + 33s, has a one actually provide data on the ground clearance with stock 33 wheels?
The Jeep was the one that struggled the most…Even though on paper, the Jeep should be the most capable in this scenario !!! It was an easy day in the office for the 4Runner indeed !!! But I am a big fan of the 2 doors vehicles, so I guess my hard earned money will be on the Bronco 2 doors, please !!! Hat off to the Toyota as always…But will take my chance with the all new 2 doors Bronco !!!
@KFC Man I can guarantee you 95% of all cars/truck made cannot make it through the rubicon. Sure it may not be to your standards but it’s an agreed testing sight for stock factory off road vehicles. Same as how every car manufacturer goes to the Nurburgring to test their sports cars.
This wasn't a TRD PRO Toyota 4Runner, and has the street tires... even though it make it look like the other two aren't as capable, shame for US doesn't get the new FJ cruiser we get in global market, that would be a fair comparison
Watch the 4Runner suspension while climbing the hills. There is less body movement and the tires stay in touch w the ground much better than the Jeep or the Bronco. It's not just the drivers. The 4Runner is a sweet vehicle.
Appears the Bronco had lockers the Jeep had 2 open diffs and the Toyota guy knew how to drive.
Hahaha hilarious but true!!
Toyota guy saw the other two fail and went "naw, forget that noise" and just gave it the beans. 🤣
That's a good synopsis of this 7 minute video.🤣
rear locker too
My thoughts exactly!
What's funny about the 4runner is that it's the limited trim level. The least offroadie of the runners.
Still has lockers and A-Trac.
@@DjWesRolan Limited trim actually doesn’t have lockers.
@@DjWesRolan no lockers
All 4runners are extremely capable off-road. 4x4 that is.
@@DjWesRolan Sorry bud but you're wrong on the locker/s. Limited doesn't have one and all other trims only have a rear locker, singular in factory trim.

I was gonna comment the exact same thing. I was hoping the jeep would prevail, driver skill makes all the difference 👍

Agree also its not about the car its about who driving it
Toyotas have an outstanding terrain management system as well

Yeah, and the 4runner was the Limited mall crawler edition. Embarrassing for the Bronco and Jeep. My guess is that they were learner drivers.

The longer wheelbase helped the 4 runner on that second hill
That 4Runner was a limited model so no rear locker. ATRAC works really well
Its no surprising the car seems heavier then the rest of the other trucks. but great video.
Title should've been "Shitty drivers used to make unreliable comparisons"
The Bronco is proof that no matter how capable your vehicle is, an inexperienced driver is just that.
Pretty sure the Bronco just kinda sucks lol.

The Toyota 4Runner Limited, the least capable of all Toyota trims, goes up the incline the FIRST TIME! I LOVE MINE!!!
Is that a Limited trim 4Runner? It is the least off-road capable out of all the trims.
Now let's revisit all 3 vehicles here in twenty years and 300,000+ miles later. Bronco and jeep will be found in an auto salvage yard. Toyota will still be running like a dream, hauling the family, and dominating hills.

I like how 4runner makes it look easy with the doggo in the back seats! Toyota ftw
So pumped to see the 4runner limited we have is not just a mall crawler. Gives me hope tor when I want to do some mods.
The first thing to do to make the limited more capable is ditch the twenty inch wheels for 17" and get tougher tires.
If you wanted something that could go off road, why didn’t you go with the TRD Off Road Premium?
4Runner: Hold my beer 🍺
I’d like to introduce you to my friend Mo Mentum

I strongly believe this is not a fair match for any of the makes because you can easily tell the drivers are not driving the same way
Very true. That is the point
