Bronco, Rivian, FJ40 and Jeeps Driving in Deep Snow | Oregon Backcountry
Переглядів 155,288
Рік томуJoin us on an exhilarating snow wheeling journey at the base of Mount Hood, Oregon. Our diverse convoy, ranging from a classic 1974 FJ40 to a modern 2023 Rivian, tackles the snowy trails of Lola Pass Road. Experience the thrill of fresh tracks, challenging terrains, and a close encounter with law enforcement!
Every vehicle performed well and was able to make it off the trail in one piece. The 2023 Rivian R1T surprised us with it's high level of clearance and ability to slide over obstacles. It did get stuck at one point but luckily the FJ40 had a winch equipped and was able to quickly solve the problem.
The Metal Tech 4x4 Ford Bronco performed great with the 37" Falken Tires and Dual Radflo Coilovers we had equipped. Also showcased are the new 4 Door Frame Mounted Sliders that we released earlier this year as well as our Front Winch Mount Bumper and Rear Swing Out Bumper which are currently in the works.
The classic FJ40 might have been the most capable out of all these vehicles! Let us know what you think in the comments!

Imagine the Rivian R1T with the Amazon delivery van headlights. It would blend in with all the other round headlights.

maybe a little more ground clearance for the deeper snow. Not sure if they can be lifted just a small amount.

@jaimeduncan6167 2 місяці тому
yes, but it will cut the range. If one really needs something to really go deep outroading better a well-prepared Bronco for example. The problem is that the Rivian is so good outroad (search Rivian vs Gladiator you may like it) that one forgets that is not intended to be a dedicated 4x4 but a lifestyle/adventure vehicle. It drives you to places to enjoy, the ride is not the objective.
@googleuser2170 5 місяців тому
The Rivian did better than expected; it would be interesting to see it with a more aggressive set of tires.

Rivian is one of my dream cars atm, even if its way to big, expensive and not available in EU. Throw on a roof top tent and go to Norway for an amazing vacation.

It’s actually not that good when needing to climb obstacles. The traction control really kills the power. My friend has one here in Denver and we go off-roading at least once a month and my Toyota sequoia does a better job with ATRAC than the Rivian does. It slows us down a lot actually. But snow wheeling it’s pretty great with traction control off
@cchallett1 4 місяці тому
@@CherokeeChief.I’ve never had issues with the traction control on mine. Grips like a mountain goat. If you need more slip, adjust the trac settings or change the off-roading mode.
@CherokeeChief. 4 місяці тому
@@cchallett1 have you seen TFL off roads review of it when rock climbing. Same issues Iv had with it. Just traction control killed all the power and the wheels wouldn’t spin to the correct wheel when one or more tire was in the air. Kinda frustrating and slowed us down a ton. Tried every setting it had too and lowered the air tire pressure also.

If you guys use that air compressor that hooks up to your battery so much why don't you put a battery connection on the outside of your vehicle that way you don't have to raise the hood and get to the battery. I've seen that on DOT vehicles that patrol the interstate and they need to jump start somebody they have a connection on their bumper and they hook the negative and positive up and jump start a car. As much work as you do on your vehicles that should be pretty easy for you to do.

Hi, great video. Two conclusion, the Rivian is quite something, nothing beats a well-prepared vehicle, lifted, angles, and lockers but it did just fantastic. Second: the Bronco is such a good platform. Ford took years to bring it back but it's just fantastic. Going back to the Rivian I saw a Rivian R1T vs. Jeep Gladiator (no front lockers) and the Rivan did just fine.

It was funny. The cop was working with a bunch of home built buggies so when the Riv showed up and had never seen one, he just thought it was another homebuilt.

@@Mark-hx3nd Hmm I wonder if one of those Boston Dynamics dogs would fit in the gear tunnel. You know maybe train it to get out an hook up a tow rope to avoid the snow/mud, or plug you in at the charger so you don't have to get out in the rain and do it.🤣

“In Russia, everyone is switching to Chinese SUVs”. 😂 1) every vehicle you mentioned is a Chinese knockoff of a successful non-Chinese vehicle! 2) Russian citizens can’t afford to import the genuine vehicles (G Wagons and Broncos that the 300 Tank copied) and would rather drive a cheaper Chinese knockoff that they can afford to trash in offroad scenarios. 3) There’s very little logistical support in Russia for Western vehicles as compared with Chinese vehicles! So, why would you choose something that can’t be maintained when there are other (less expensive) alternatives?
