The Braptor and Wrangler 392 are fun to drive over any terrain—but which one wins this off-road SUV brawl?
, 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. We spent two days pitting these beasts against each other on sand dunes and technical trails, as well as on twisty roads and highways, to find out which absurd—and absurdly fun—SUV reigns supreme.
The Braptor's heart is a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6 with 418 hp and 440 lb-ft of torque, coupled to a 10-speed automatic transmission. The hardware is largely the same as found in the Ford Explorer ST, but the Bronco has more power and a different mission, necessitating a new tune for the gearbox. A suspension overhaul comes courtesy of the Ford Performance team—who also birthed the Mustang Shelby GT500—including new Fox shocks and unique control arms. The result is 13.
, including relocating the suspension mounts. The rear springs are 20 percent softer and the front springs 10 percent stiffer compared to the regular Rubicon, and Fox 2.0 monotube shocks are fitted.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. The delta between the two to 60 mph is a big 2.0 seconds, at 4.2 versus 6.
. By this point, we had already noted the many ways the Bronco Raptor improves on its lesser siblings on all surfaces, but it was here where we got the clearest impression. Obstacles that were struggles for the Bronco Sasquatch were conquered easily—practically cruised over—by the Braptor. We applaud Ford for the improvements baked into the Braptor; it's miles ahead of the Sasquatch in terms of ability, refinement, and overall execution.
