FORD BRONCO RAPTOR 2022 VS JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON 392 - Battle of the Badass Off-Roaders
The Bronco Raptor, for example, is a whopping 10 inches wider than its regular sibling, and the 392 has a completely different suspension setup than the standard Wrangler.
The Rivals It may not feel like it, but the Bronco versus Wrangler rivalry is a recent one, having only kicked off in earnest once the Ford was brought out of mothballs and reconstituted as a direct competitor in 2021.
The Ford Bronco Raptor and Jeep Wrangler 392 exist to please American enthusiasts who are looking to do crazy things.
The 52-hp and 30-lb-ft gap between the Raptor and the 392 is certainly felt, with the Wrangler being much faster and more eager to pile on speed than the Bronco.
To the good, its width makes it feel much more stable than the Jeep, which turns in a bit more eagerly but always feels more top-heavy, and the Ford's ride is suppler.
The Bronco's suspension keeps it gliding over bumps, especially as you pick up speed, and vibrations are better tamed than in the Wrangler, which feels more skittish as you traverse whoops and small lumps.
For the ultimate off-road test, we headed south to California's Rowher Flat, where we'd previously compared the Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid with the Bronco Sasquatch.
The Cabins Of The Beasts Hopping from the Wrangler's cabin and into the Bronco's is like swapping an iPhone 10 for a 13 Pro—the Wrangler gets the job done, but it lacks the latest technological polish, having carried forward basically unchanged for five years.
The Bronco is also more spacious, with more room between driver and front passenger, and the rear seat feels like a living room next to the far cozier Jeep's.
So, Jeep Or Bronco?
The Jeep is faster, sounds better, and is more nimble, but the Bronco has a more versatile suspension, looks like nothing else, and is a nicer, more modern place to spend time.
We asked ourselves if the Wrangler 392 is $10,000 better than the Bronco Raptor, which keeps pace with or exceeds the Jeep in nearly every area.
The Wrangler 392 is the off-roader that speaks louder, but the Bronco Raptor offers a slightly broader range of capabilities for less.
