Motortrend seriously needs to find new personalities.
Dude, I was just saying to myself….how can a legacy company like motortrend have such SUBPAR video content. It’s almost unbelievable!! Definitely in large part the personalities…..or lack there of! But it’s more than that, just overall production quality sucks. But yeah, the people they have, from the most recognizable, like Jonny Lieberman should never ever be on camera……The definition of a “face for radio”, to these two duds. It’s legitimately terrible…….from the publication that I couldn’t get enough of, growing up.
When you have a person which is right of the school (Jalopnik/ Drive) and the only thing which is taught to write brash headlines and talk alphas like #u€K so then that’s what you get. On the other hand the totally disconnected dozed off person just agreeing as if there’s nothing to think and add about.
Albeit if Chevrolet is winner nothing wrong with that. However, there’s more rough area which people are exposed to in their dailies rather than focused on Rock climbing. LOL, it’s just the other way round 😂
The chick is ok but that dude is missing a few chromosomes lol
Came here to say this. Have these two ever actually gone off road before this review? And was this actually off road? I saw 1 scene that I would be tough in a Honda Ridgeline.
Did my comment get deleted lol
Saying the Silverado ZR2 has a tucked/hidden exhaust and showing an image of a huge exhaust pipe sticking out the back is wild
they Got the wrong image that's from the 2500 hd ZR2 not the1500 ZR2 Which they're hidden. 2500 are Expose
You know this isn't about the half ton trucks right?
also the Ranger has exhaust tips tucked up into the bumper
The 1/2 ton one is sticking out of the side though. If you crush that in your off-road adventures, you’re also crushing your rear fender. But there are many obstacles that you will come off of where your rear bumper touches down on big rocks. With the exhaust in the rear, the exhaust pipe will immediately get crushed shut.
@@dipstiksubaru3246 You know they mentioned the Silverado ZR2 has a tucked/hidden exhaust and showed a picture of a big huge exhaust pipe sticking out the back, right?
What happened to motortrend?
Greed. Wanting to be a TV channel instead of just staying in top of the CZcams heap. Can't keep good talent either
Clearly, it died 🤣
Honestly if you want good truck videos go to TFL Truck/Off Road or Truck King. Motortrend is just not it anymore
Agree
I’d agree with Truck King they are great!!! I can’t watch TFL anymore Roman has ruined it for me. I make sure to walk the ones that have Andre he’s great!!
@@2lopezd same. I don't know what it is but he's the most off putting awkward presenter they have. Maybe it's his weird non sequitar, bad jokes and ice cold takes. He's just so awkward
@@assaultlick2169 yeah I remembered when they first started their channel but over the years. To me he’s been like more cocky is always referring to him as the CEO of the channel seems to belittle the other guys
@@2lopezd Roman definitely has some awkward “dad” energy but I still enjoy videos he does. Andre and Nathan are a great pair in videos
Jason cammisa we miss u dawg
Love his work on Hagerty as well as the Carmudgen Show with Hyphen.
Yea, The "Diverse" chick is bland, boring and made me just say "F*ck this video" after 30 seconds. I'm unsubscribing.
And Carlos and everyone else Johnny managed to run off during their heyday. Neither one of them will speak on it but they both walked away from what was one of the most popular automotive review shows on YT. always wondered why
@assaultlick2169 I used to follow Johnny. He is the true definition of narcissism. The second he started calling people idiots for disagreeing with his politics, I was out.
@@KornPop bingo. As exec producer I guarantee it's him specifically co hosts couldn't stand
Man I forced myself to watch this, it’s like that guy is forced to be there, real serious no character at all 😂
None at all. He acted bored
What are payload & tow specs for both ? Not much here ...
That was a long Chevy commercial!
🤣
No, just superior to the ford. Have these motors failed like the Bronco?
This is one of the only channels that would pic a ZR2 over the Raptor
Ikr, they said the rapter did everything better, but somehow the zr2 was better over all. @Deatomizer
I came to the comments for a shared discomfort between the two camera personalities. I was not disappointed
How can you decide which 4x4 is better when you only took it on trails that you could complete in a Prius? You guys were in south Utah. Moab was right there. Why not take it on real trails that would test the front lockers and show the real differences between the two?
because they said at the beginning that they were looking to see what was the best all-around truck for the widest segment of the population. not a lot of people would take their $60K trucks to Moab and do all the stuff you THINK people would do. You want to do it? there are plenty of other channels that would do that for you. Plus, those aren't their trucks and they would like to maintain the manufacturer/press relationship, which could suffer if you took the press vehicle and blasted it the way some Joe Blow (like you) would want to as if it were a rental truck.
Don't spill your pumpkin spice latte's going down those trails guys.
Umm Yeah these two have no chemistry. Such an important video and I was distracted by the lack of enthusiasm from the reviewers. She was more enthusiastic, Jason did not help.
So glad to see motortrend was able to put their best talent on such an important comparison video.
Sarcasm?
@@dipstiksubaru3246yes. Absolutely sarcasm.
I'm glad because I'd be fine driving a rust bucket on those trails
The death of motor trend
Dear MT. Can we please find some new people doing these ? No disrespect to anyone but we can do better
Raptor all day, you all are crazy.
play this channel before naps.
😂😂😂
I'm headed to bed... to dream of one of these trucks.
Where did you find these two?
No personality or enthusiasm from the hosts. No rationale for their decision at the end. This video was disappointing.
That is the most awkward man I’ve ever seen
What a snoozfest holayyy, where’s the excitement… where’s the thrill… it blows my mind manufacturers give you guys vehicles to test… the only reason I finished the whole video was because I had it as background noise whilst shaving my balls ….
I don't trust your opinions because your complaining about the Raptor's screen being smaller and you sound like Chevy fan boys and the nerve to say that the Chevy is better off and road is crazy
The only thing ford and chevy guys can agree on are that these two models are better than trd anything.
Except neither can out do anything the trd can when their both stuck at the dealership under recall or just generally broken.
Tfl broke your precious tacoma in 5 minutes on a trail. You Toyota fan boys are deluded.
@assaultlick2169 so because an early truck broke 1 part off road that's somehow worse than these 2 ? Pssst, hey, your ignorance is showing!! 😂
@@dipstiksubaru3246 cope
@dipstiksubaru3246 New Tundra's are having major engine issues, and 2024 Tacos are blowing engines and differentials like crazy.😂
You need to do homework before making comments; Australia has diesel throughout the whole Ranger range, except the Ranger Raptor. The Ranger Raptor only comes with the 3.0ltr twin turbo petrol engine.
Sorry, but hard to take the presenters seriously
This was incredibly boring to watch. Could they be any less enthusiastic? 🥱
I would like to put my name in the hat to take over reviews.
Man the Raptor Ranger is beautiful. Pricey but not as expensive as the real Raptor
Whats a real raptor.you mean a bird?
@@casper24ism must be hard to have a slow brain eh?
@edr.2642 no dumbass all raptors are real raptors
Motor trend. Please find people that actually know about the genre and the equipment that they are reviewing!
The Ranger has a tape measure and a bottle opener built into the tail gate. I’ve been waiting for this 😮
This is hard to watch 😂
Dorks said the Chevy was a better all rounder, ....yeah, cause most people in the market for this type of truck prefer a 4cyl. 2.7 with 310hp, over a truck with a V6 3.0 with 405hp ! These two reviewers lack balls !!
The Ranger RAPTOR is king
Needs a sun roof and some red exterior and door highlights. Other than that it's good to go, of course I will personalize it a bit, to make it mine.
Having just as much torque as the raptor is pretty impressive though.
Ford fanboys need to take the blinders off and face the truth. 😅😂😅😂
Look i owned 2 f150 raptors and 1 raptor R and still own a built bronco raptor.with that said i know have a zr2 bison this truck is awsome i agree the v6 will kill zr2 open road but zr2 will do everything else and its way better looking imho than the raptor
The truck's height isn't the problem it's her problem being short.
So, Chevy paid these guys more than ford.
I can’t believe I’m subscribed to this. 😴
Your kidding me....right?
You’re**
Just hire jeremy,james, and hammond and itll make you billions in 10 min reviews.
After the Amazon deal (grand tour) they probably want faaaaar too much money for anyone to pick them up again in a hugh productiin value series
Australia has the first gen ranger raptor which ia diesel and next gen which is petrol. So no, if were talking about next gen, Australia didnt get the diesel. Other south east asian got the second gen diesel
Soooo biased. Looking for things to nitpick on the Ford.
How can the ZR2 be better than the Raptor when the latter can do everything the ZR2 and sometimes better, and in alot of areas it wipes the floor on the ZR2?
Zr2 could be had 10k less
@@Tiovergudo yeah but its supposed to be more expensive, the suspension alone is far more advanced than the zr2, were not even talking about the motor yet
Which had the more comfortable seats, and which was more comfortable on highway driving?
We are Americans we like loud trucks and we like horsepower we also like independent suspension.
Um.... not in a truck.
@@B49nope I do. Having driven a Gladiator Rubicon, I'll take my 2024 ZR2's front IRS and ride quality on pavement or off any day of the week.
Until you snap a cv or bust a front aluminium diff case.
@@kx8960 Traded in a Wrangler, now drive a ZR2 and no looking back.
@@kalijo1 BooYa! Congrats!
You're killing me Smalls!!! Is that the dude from sandlot?
He was the sandlot
In UK Ford is having to replace the chassis on a lot of Rangers under warranty due to rust, is it the same in US
To early to tell. We just got the new ranger. I didn't see one on my local lot until February.
@@keventaylor8295 I am talking about 5 year old Ranger, with rotten chassis
At those prices, reasonable to own is kinda out of the question in Biden’s economy
Biden's economy is better than Trumps by nearly every metric
Nice.... Just bought my 2024 ZR2 TODAY!!!!! Going to pick it up right now (same color too). And I live right on the edge of the desert!!! Traded my 2018 in... I will miss her great truck but, it's that time.
I liked the video but don't understand how the conclusion was made? Both vehicles are excellent off roaders. What factors made the checy a better overall off road vehicle?
Previous Gen was diesel-powered in the rest of the world. But the latest version has the 3.0 turbo petrol in most countries.
In this class (medium sized truck) are the Ranger Raptor and all the others!
The raptor feels like a better offroader in all situations. The engine alone is a huge factor. You can increase the size of wheels, additional mods for offroad on the ranger raptor but you can’t put a powerful engine on the zr2.
You can’t put larger tires or a lift on the raptor. The live valve system in the suspension wont let you and it’s the only reason to buy the truck. Because of that it isn’t able to fit larger tires without a significant amount of cutting.
The ZR2 doesn’t need more torque, and power in a race on the dirt is less important than being able get the power to the ground. The ZR2 allows you to keep the lockers on up to the limiter in Baja mode while the raptor kills the locker at 25 mph.
@@DavidWright-kc6qg tell that to ford’s engineers that’s telling us that we can
What are fords engineers telling you? That the wheel arches are larger than they are and that modifying the amazing electronically monitored and controlled suspension is A OK?
@@DavidWright-kc6qg yes. And youtube is free. Google is free. I have the raptor and I lifted mine. Lol. Works great almost a year in. Ignorant
@@ErnestMarvinEsteban the engineer even said in an interview that the ranger can't fit 35s without cutting and you can't level it because of the suspension haha
So the ford does it all better and that’s why it’s not as good as the Chevy . Ok
Typical Motor trend, brought to you by GM, woke GM that is.
Drove a Zr2 'Rado today...it was wonderful! Ill try the Raptor next.
LOL..The less powerful, quiter truck is the winner..in whose universe?? LOL..
The channel is going down hill hill also.
It died when they decided they were a cable TV channel
I feel like the mushrooms from last week hit me today and i can't quit figure out whats going on between these two corporate characters.
You need to do your research better, australia has the same engine as the US in the raptor. Petrol
RAM really needs to hurry up. Where is their midsize truck for the US they promised?
You mean Jeep? they have one.
@@jeffmofo5013same
@@jeffmofo5013 yeah it sucks
Bring back the Dakota, maybe?
@@jeffmofo5013 Yeah but that’s too different
TF happened to Motortrend?.......
Can't wait for Ford to make Ranger sized EV pickup for Europe 😍🤩
Let the race begin
Yeah these hosts need to go asap!! 0 personalities or charisma in either of them
This is what I imagine being forced to do a vehicle review with an Ex might be like, right after finding out that she no longer likes boys
I don’t care what bow tie or Mopar has to offer…
What a waste of 12 minutes
No comments on ground clearance difference or departure angles. Not a very good review of either truck.
Yall definitely nailed the most boring people ever to do this video.
Both have nice personality and carried themselves well, my problem is saying nothing technical, price, fuel economy etc... For deciding on who the winner is!
The only thing that got me through this video were the trucks.
Two of the coolest trucks in the mid class segments, with an entire desert to play with … and we get this??
Might as well show a sub-compact getting charged while u highlight the interior light color palates 😅😂
What's up with the dude 🤓
Rest of the world get a petrol 3.0 twin turbo V6 too, diesel is only an option
Can you please explain why the ZR2 is better on a Daly driving????
Doesn’t require premium fuel, the DSSV dampers are incredible and the ride is stupidly comfortable. It’s also got more than enough power for what it does. Cruising on the highway with the 2.7 is deceptive because there is so much torque in the low end you find yourself casually reaching 80-90 mph if you’re not being mindful of your speed on empty roads. Plus it can tow more when needed, has ventilated seats, and vents in the rear.
The Raptor is also great, but I can understand why they would pick the ZR2 as a better daily.
@@DavidWright-kc6qg Tfl....Andrey opens fuel door, and after saying Ra Ra needs premium, sees a sticker that says 87+ , Fox live valve are also incredible, and one youtube owner already extemely happy dailying his. 95 more warranteed more horses....yeehaw !!
Using a dressed up thumb as a prop is a new approach I didn’t expect to like lol
No way. I like the Ranger Raptor better! 👍👍👍
This was impressively dull.
I just remembered why i don't consume anything"Motor Trend" anymore
comparison about fast canyon running is moot if you didn't run the ZR2 in Baja and you can turn of Traction control too.
Have they made the seats in the Chevy more comfortable? They usually are horrible
The extra HP in the Ford is nice but it's also 400 pounds heavier than the ZR2.
That spare 95 HORSEPOWER should manage to easily overcome that 400lb ! Ever been on a 95 horse 400lb motorcycle ?!
@@arkhsm it is unfortunate that the weight is approaching the F150.
Australia now has the same engine as you
When your Sandlot days don't turn into MLB.
The smaller screen with switchgear that Ford offers is so much better.
Imagine what GM could do if they put the same energy into a v-6 that they put into the 2.7...
The tailpipe quibble was just...silly. Based on the image they showed, the pipes are not the issue they proclaim.
Other parts of the world also had the GAS V6 in the Raptor including Australia 🇦🇺
Solid overall review. Let’s see more of Kristen.
Tires that keep moving forward wow I wish mine had that
One of these hosts has potential, the other does not. I won't clarify because we all know who's who.
Boils down to personal choice as always but what a boring boring boring comparison these 2 commentators are ancient and really didn't do the review justice
Bad hair day ?😎
Pro tip. If you watch this video at 2x speed it helps give the illusion these two actually care about reviewing these trucks
Why did you ruin the app?
Yeah the Raptor is better but we pick the ZR2. The public has spoken and the ZR2 is sitting on the lot and the Ranger Raptor will have a waiting list and 20k mark ups (unfortunately). But you guys pick the ZR2?!?! You are one of the few!!
The ZR2s are available because they’ve been delivered. They’re also the fastest moving in any chevy vehicle. They also had crazy markups in the first few months of availability. I saw 10k over sticker at a dealer. Being impossible to get isn’t a positive either.
ZR2 is down on power, but it also has far more support in the aftermarket for accessories and it’s a substantial improvement over the previous generation that was already a great vehicle.
The ZR2 costs less, can tow more, has longer travel in the suspension, better angles, and is more intuitive. The Raptor has mroe HP, and the fox live valve mean they can never be lifted and they can’t get larger tires which is a big deal in the off roading segment.
They’re both incredible vehicles, but while they each can do 99% of what the other can do, the Raptor loses out on capability and comfort.
Lady's choice pick, men prefer more cylinders and more POWER !!
@@DavidWright-kc6qg Keep telling yourself that mate, the rest of us know better !!
Im very happy with my truck, and my extra 1000 pounds of towing, and ventilated seats, and my kids love having the vents in the rear to keep them comfortable.
The Raptor has a better engine. But somehow that only translates to a little more on pavement acceleration and less towing.
Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have a dog in this fight. I traded my 2020 Raptor in and bought a 2024 F350 SRW 6.7HO Platnium Tremor so I could tow a 5th wheel RV and have Offroad capable truck.
I am only going by what the presenters said and chose. Personally I really like the ZR2 but would probably still go with the Raptor because Chevy chooses not to show the driver as much information and I tend to go with speed over everything else. The Ford HO 6.7 is 500hp and 1,200 foot pounds of torque.
It is a tough one in this case. Ranger raptor is ford's best truck.
Colorodo in this case is the better. Not just because 4 cylinders is always better than more cylinders but it just better looking.
wokertrend
Where is motor trend finding these reviewers?
My Shoe has more personality than either of these 2. 😂😂 Worst presenters of the year. 🎉🎉
No one in any of these reviews talks about the extra strength the Raptor has in its Chassis. Here in Australia the Colorado is a very pore seller because it doesn’t stand up to the beating our conditions throw up.
رابتر قوة والفورد احسن من الحي ام سي
lol so a bunch of subjective feelings about these trucks. You had them for a whole weekend, we could have watched a series of tests between them and decided for ourselves. Edmunds is starting to put you guys to shame.
Rest in peace motortrend
We’re seriously supposed to take that track as an off road test?
The raptor price made my eyeballs pop out and like the Tacoma.. it’s a never
I am a speedster and I would choose the Raptor cause of the HP besides I am not much of an OFF ROADER anyways 😼🤷🏽♂️
