2023 Bronco Raptor Review // Thomas Gets Stuck, James Breaks It
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 06. 2022
- The 2022 Bronco Raptor ($102,190 starting in Canada, $70,095 starting in the US) is a brutish and obscenely wide off-road machine. It’s powered by a 418 hp twin-turbo V6 and comes standard with 37 inch tires and fox dampers. It’s also packaged with some sturdy bash plates and a much needed locking differential. The Bronco seems prepared for some desert offroading, but are Thomas and James? Watch as they struggle to stay properly hydrated while navigating the toughest terrain they have ever encountered. We hope you enjoy the episode! Thanks for watching! SUBSCRIBE!

That helmet ding in the intro never gets old.
Still the best!
It's so crisp.
Agreed!
One of the funniest things they’ve ever done. Reminiscent of old top gear
It will 😏😕😂
This video sold me on the Bronco Raptor. Now all I need is money...
Don't worry the dealers will bend over everyone for a extra 30k
Save up $70,000 and ull be good my dude 👍
I feel like unless you're actually gonna go off roading, there are definitely better vehicles for when you live somewhere with roads
@@nicky2575 For ~$70000, the list is endless
This is a beautiful rig, I'm very happy with my 2 door base with the sasq package. It will handle everything i need it to do.
"That's okay, bangs happen."
"Not in college, not for me."
And then the differential tea bagging line, that was hilarious. Well done gents.
"Differential boulder teabagging sesh." Narrating perfection, right there. You guys rock!
that rear differential hit was felt by us all
it sent a shock through my entire body
what makes me mad is that the camera man did not say say anything about it
@@benitomejia03 it may have sounded rough but seemed like the diff wasn't damaged one bit but now definitely has some scratches underneath.
@@aryaahmadi4029 There is no way in hell that didn't do some form of mechanical damage or wear. They could literally take it on a several cross-country road trips after this video and yeah, it would function perfectly, but that diff and/or the axle components will break prematurely or wear faster. Time does not forgive with mechanical systems on cars.
@@joeleonard9965 Yeah, doesn't matter where you're from, hitting a differential is bound to make damage.
I love that you guys didn't test this amazing Baja capable truck on some freeway and played with it in its natural habitat
I mean cmon it’s natural habitat will be the road the amount of money this is going to cost no one will off road it
@@dnice362 all I'm gonna say is never underestimate the crazyness of rednecks
99% of these will be driven around malls and towns exclusively. So what is the real habitat hmm?
@Pukepane Hastere sssssss
It’s called Ford told them to or they don’t get to review it.
I love the fact that an English guy and a Canadian guy have grown their channel so much that the big companies are giving you early access to the really cool stuff!!! lots of travel to cool venues!! Over 2 Million subs!!
Bout time. I have been a subscriber and fan since the early days. You guys are both entertaining and informative. Love it!
karston deserves a nice christmas bonus for his hard work in the sweltering heat!
Actually pretty impressed that Ford let ya'll go rock crawling in a brand new 70k USD car. Props to them standing by what they've made and saying 'Have at er'
I’m surprised anyone is surprised. $0-70k to reach hundreds of thousands of viewers? Seems cheap to me
unlike the G Wagon which the "limitless off-road capabilities" will never be tested
Its most likely a test drive car, they just swap the damage skid plates, new tires, a good wash and paint correction and its good as new.
@@VelkePivo Yeah, but they didn't have to let them beat it up. Look at reviews of almost any other "Offroad" SUV in this category and 90% of them are driving around a city. It was their allowance to push the vehicle in a realistic off-road scenario that is impressive.
I agree. It’s not always just about the vehicle cost, though. If there are issues or corners cut or even something filmed/presented in a certain way, it can make a car look bad and have some real negative press effects. Kudos on them for building a good rig and taking the risk to let it show its chops.
Differential "Tea Bagging" 😆🤣😂 James is too funny.
Loved the line “who was the first person to drive up that.” The eternal question!
Hands down the best car reviews on CZcams, your chemistry is one in a million, LOVE THIS CHANNEL.
That rock crawling sequence was so INTENSE
The unstable camera operation made me a little dizzy.
I was lucky enough to go on the Bronco Raptor drive with these guys - that section looks way harder than it was lol The Braptor handled it like it was nothingggg
My heart started to hurt when he hit the differential
@@deviousd1871 I thought I was the only one with this problem, I almost did not finish the video hahaha
2:13 'something James has never even seen before'. Yall doing this man dirty lmfao 🤣🤣
He's gay
Whoever is filming and editing these is doing an amazing job! Amazing video guys! That looked so fun btw!
I appreciate you guys showing us what the Bronco can do when you're not a super-pro off-road, rock climbing, Baja-racing kinda person. That it can facilitate this kind of fun for the 'weekend off-roader' is a feather in it's cap for sure.
You mean how many bumps it can take and stave off?
The effort you guys put into these reviews always impresses!
"and quite a lot of messing around."
Thomas : **bang**
James : **bonk**
you’re a fruity guy
I really liked palm springs when I visited. Especially since there was a monsoon when I went and it rained warm water.
I have now gotten to the point where I am watching your videos for Thomas and James more than the cars. I have already watched a Bronco Raptor review today but I'm pumped to watch this one because it has the Throttle house guys
Thomas moving around while they were rock crawling was cracking me up every time! I used to do that when I was a kid riding with my dad, now I've gotten used to the angles.
I love the fact that you actually took it off roading. In a proper way. Keep it up guys !
This was actually a Ford Bronco event, you'll see a lot of other media channels on this same exact course. In fact, TFL truck used this same exact Bronco because if you look closely, their Bronco has the same exact side step dent.
You guys do an amazing job with this show. It's informative and extremely entertaining and in my book, you are very close to being on par with the original Top Gear episodes. Way to go Thomas and James! ...and writers, crew, ect. Good on you, all!
Continuously variable seatbelts colour technology is amazing 😎
Very well done gents. I was offered an allocation, they wanted 25K over sticker. I politely declined. “Everyone” said, oh just flip it for a profit. No. That plays into the already inflated market, which I despise. Also, no rear air. That doesn’t work in TX with kids.
That's what killed the Focus RS
Agree. As you may know, Ford is getting pissed with their dealers for excessive markup, to the point they're entertaining going to direct sales.
@@kurtbilinski1723 yea the ford dealership near me have the craziest markups
I’m actually considering building a new ford dealership and I’m in talks about franchising atm and I’m not going to allow huge mark ups
opening scene has very Grand Tour vibes... kudos to the work your team does and your continued growth!
I ever since old top gear stopped, there has been a stig sized hole in my heart. But thanks to you guys, it has been filled. You guys are funny and knowlegable about cars making it so enjoyable to watch, not to mention excellent directing and videography. In my opinion, i enjoy the car reviews here much more than old top gear
The 12 year old in me cracked up at boulder differential tea-bagging sesh.
The drone shot of the Bronco moving through the dust cloud is opening sequence worthy.
The production you guys do for these reviews is second to none! Best on CZcams by a long stretch.
These are really nice... But, don't hate me for saying this, try Hagarty. I think that's how it's spelled. They have a Bronco Raptor episode too.
“Differential tea bagging session”…best line ever!
3:12 eyyy cameraman repping the donut media merch!! Any other Donut Media fans here?
I wish I was as enthusiastic about being me as James is about being James.
he’s what zero depression looks like
@@f0rtunat010 besides when he talks about his bedroom toys and collage
Bro stop giving a fuck and I guarantee you’ll feel something similar (obviously you have to care about important things, but not EVERYTHING). 😂🤞🏾
Yup it’s great.
Your cameraman is amazing 😂
thx!
I almost died with that intro 😆
10:21 "No, no, no, no, no... feels good, this feels normal to me..." Lol I laughed so hard XD
Also damnit camera guy, why would you not yell to “stop” while they repeatedly hit the rear diff? I was totally screaming internally.
Cool that Micah helped out with some drone footage, good videos from him too.
This trip was my first chance to hang with Thomas and James. I can confirm they're excellent humans.
I don't comment much, but I watch almost all of your guy's videos on youtube, and they are the best car reviews on the platform just feels real like two dudes doing what two dudes would do. I am a fellow Canadian and a Wrangler owner, and this video made me jealous. The only reason I went for a Wrangler over a Bronco was the PHEV option; with gas prices in British Columbia hovering around 2.20L, it just makes sense for my daily use if only Ford did the same. Love this vehicle, and you guys are doing a fantastic job thanks for bringing me joy during my morning coffee.
"That's why they're called skid plates. They're not banana plates!"
Can't argue with that one Thomas 😂
21:19 the cameraman actually wore the hat 😂
So I was just watching a video on the bronco because my wife recently bought one. Then this video began to play next, automatically and I instantly knew it was throttle house before a single word was spoken and I was not looking at the screen. And I think that is just awesome! Thank you for the videos!
Woke up this morning, wasn't feeling all that great. Checked my phone, throttle house dropped a new video. Life is great.❤️👍
Their personalities work well together. 👍
Im so glad theres more Bronco Raptor content coming out already. But for you two to have made such an amazing video on it makes my heart happy. Seriously guys, thanks for all you do and keep kickin ass
I appreciate that you guys took it true offloading even though neither of you are comfortable doing so. It very much shows but you admit that it's not your strong point but you got out there and tried! Keep up the good work and keep doing some offloading and you will be a pro in no time!
Definitely not another faceless baby! Great review, and big love from another Canadian!
killer intro again, they keep getting better gotta love it
"He is both Lady and Tramp".... Sir, I am dead! 🤣🤣🤣
I thought he said Lady and Trap...
Ford brought their “A” game with this bad boy! Bronco is no joke🏎
The Silverado zr2 sure is a joke!
It's cool to see the reviews, it was fun to spot all you guys and gals thru the rocks. Glad you enjoyed it!
Congratulations for doing real off roading, this is by far the best automotive journalism channel, leaps and bounds above the rest.!.!.!
Love this channel!!!
That no grab handle blows my mind..howd ford forget
supply chain issues, or Biden's fault :)
Another great video from my favorite automotive review channel on CZcams! You guys are killing it with your humor, personal chemistry and the consistently high production value of your videos. Your enthusiasm is infectious. Keep up the great work!
Ok wow the Bronco Raptor looks just way too cool. Of course I want one as a toy; but it’s definitely overkill for me lol. Many of the Anza Borrego off road trails don’t need this capability; but I HAVE seen purpose-built rock crawlers pass me and go further into the dessert to all the cool spots I haven’t had a chance to explore.
Hmmmmmmmmmm…
I just LOVE that a car manufacturer came out with a purpose-build machine like this; how we can now just buy one straight from the factory without any modifications. Usually many vehicles I see out in the dessert are heavily modified where people spent several 10-G’s to make their own vehicles capable. To have one ready the day you buy it w/o spending that extra coin to do what it needs to do is just too cool and I’m so happy it exists.
Fucking bravo Ford.
2 door Raptor with no back seats would (for me) be a great idea! Loads of space for you and a friend to get away and get adventuring!!
No grab handles is such a huge omission. It really is.
just reach up into your skirt and you will find something.
That’s what my mother said about my mustang! Valid point, there’s nothing for the passenger to hold on to.. I told her the seatbelts will hold you in the seat! They sinch rather tightly. The faster you go the tighter they get..
My jeep is the same way, my first mod was paracord grab handles
Agree, but They are a great first mod to add.
I think this was one of my favorite videos you've ever produced. Love you guys :)
"Differential tea-bagging" Favorite new sentence.
Extremely impressed with the capability of that thing wow. Also for some guys who don’t rock crawl often y’all didn’t do too bad! 🤣🙌🏽 gotta work on those approach angles
Kudos to you for offroading the Bronco Raptor hard enough to make Ford nervous and switch vehicles!
I’m just a few moments in the video but paused it: your production quality is crazy high. This channel is going toe to toe with the best in the business. I’m blown away by the consistensy in the allways entertaining content you create. Huge fan here from Denmark 🇩🇰
As a couple of city dwelling street car drivers, this was a pretty darned good off road capabilities review. Thanks guys.. Keep it up, and keep all the top gear/ Grand tour nod's. I for one, recognize them, and love them,
You guys keep bettering yourselves. Absolutely insane how good your videos are getting.
Them and hagerty with jason camissa. It's like watching full length big screen quality productions every time. 😎👍🏻
Thomas and James trying to figure out how to use this high priced toy felt like we were watching a remake of Weird Science but this time Kelly LeBrock's character was played by the Bronco Raptor
Finally! The driving we want to see in the new Bronco raptor! Thank you
Good god, the cinematography at the beginning of this video is just on a whole other level!
Incredible work, guys!
I now just want them to drive a trx like this too,it's so much fun to see😃🌻
The trx suspension wouldn't handle it and it will bottom out more . The expedition offroad ran trx in baja it wouldn't even last 60 miles there , go check on insta or youtube
@@hotrod7603 proof or sit back down, child
@@Welcometofacsistube it's already proved to trx suspension isn't great for baja lol they break cv boots on pavement only what do you think it will last in baja
@@Welcometofacsistube TRX can't run baja, too heavy for what it is. Great 1/4 mile times but not a very good offroad truck ;) The F150 Raptor ran the Baja 1000 with some simple safety modifications from the factory floor, the true king of off road trucks.
I really like the new Bronco, great video, as always! ❤️
17:54 I’ve lived in the Coachella valley my whole life and I still melt in the heat 😅
Nice job guys, really enjoyed it!
Always keep the get in helmet in the intro. Timeless classic
You guys are always amazing. Thank you.
When the bar is “not that squeaky” 😁
13:17
Movie magic with the seatbelts
I absolutely love the new Bronco and now this. A friggin Raptor Bronco?! One day I will get my hands on one.
I dont understand how the production gets better every video! amazing job you two, keep going
21:18 he really did rock the hat 😂🤙🏼
Great video as usual. That outtake at the end gives a good perspective on how steep that hill was.
Babe Wake up, Throttle House uploaded!
Wake up? I haven't even been to bed.
@@michaelj7069 Michael when are you meeting my parents, we've been together for like forever
@@karankhatana9528 😂😂😂😂
The quality of these car reviews is astounding. Well done. Keep it up guys!!!
Just simply love you guys. Not only are your reviews spot on but they are fun and interesting
13:16 seat belts changed to prettier ones
Love watching your uploads the most entertaining car reviewers out there bar none x
That rock crawling was balls to the wall
You're always informative and endlessly entertaining....but this time, you knocked it out of the ballpark. And it landed in the next cities ballpark 😄. That diff-tapping rock crawl was madness and I'm stunned you got through it! Ford has a winner with the (real/big) Bronco. The Raptor made it a modern legend 👍
Used to have a 2002 Land Rover Discovery 2, and did this stuff north west of Phoenix, AZ. Miss it a lot.
Watching that diff abuse was like a day at the dentist 😖
The width is the biggest concern with the bronco raptor. I definitely feel like anyone who actually wants to crawl will build a Sasquatch package up rather than take on the extra width and odd looking fenders. Sharp looking truck either way.
Facts!!
Anyone who actually wants to crawl probably won't buy either.
@@JoshuaTootell well there is nothing in the market which can compete raptor in rock crawl or baja in terms of factory 4x4 .
@@hotrod7603 Not a driver,in fact i don't think I'll ever see these off-roader in real life. Just like to watch car video every now and then. But, Isn't Rubicon considered the best off-roader?.
I love it when you guys go off-roading. It’s so cool and fun looking. Plus intense and difficult haha
The camera work is super and as always the content, thx
Love these reviews, that intro 😂I am so ready to see how these markups go based on regular bronco trim markups lol
@ThrottleHouse 21:49 Karsten deserves a vacation to Iceland or Norway. Or a spa day in palm swings?
I mean Springs.. swings
definitely Springs 🤭 😆
"things that james has never seen before" 🤣🤣🤣 this line killed me
The GT500 mustang only gets like 10 mpg if you're lucky. I couldn't imagine how bad the MPG would be in a Raptor R Bronco lol
They can't make one because they cannot realistically make a gas tank large enough
Great review gents... if only Ford would do a right hand drive and sell them in Oz, would be epic crossing the Simpson desert in one...
Id watch a vid of that. Love you crazy Aussies.
You guys do a great job at story telling and keeping me engaged! Keep it up.
Ok, I'm way more into cars , not really trucks , or offroading, but this was by far my favorite episode of Throttle House!! Hilarious!!! I actually wish I could have been in the back seat!! 😆
We need an update letting us know whether the offroad community is finally satisfied, or if they're still commuting to work on roads like this.
Amazing that a stock factory SUV could do these trails - for reference, trying to follow in Jeep's best factory prepaired Wrangler would have been the icing on this cake
They’re just two friends playing around in their toy truck and I love it
Pretty wicked off roading for a brand new IFS truck on all terrains.
I have had a lot of modified trucks, a safari and a few land cruisers, this thing did alright for a basically stock truck.
Special mention for the driving, not bad at all for guys who usually stick with fast cars.
Well done.
No rear AC vents is kinda crazy tho ☹️
