@John Dillermand I third on that, once you start tossing mods into the mix it becomes much more difficult to compare vehicles because you stop comparing how the vehicle was built and instead start comparing how the owner modded it. I actually kind of wish TFL would have gotten a Non-Squatch Bronco because to me the Squatch isnt the "Rubicon" of the Broncos, the Badlands is. The Squatch package is more like an add on on top of the "Rubicon" level Badlands that jeep answered with the Xtreme Recon so comparing a Squatch Bronco to a Rubicon Wrangler isn't fair unless the Rubi has the Recon package.

The Defender is huge and heavy, it is not surprising. The Jeep is a toy by comparison. By the way, I am not sure where the Defender struggled or had to work hard, and the Bronco didn't? The Jeep has a solid front axle, but the Bronco not, and my impression was that it was #3 in this test.

The Bronco appears pretty impressive, the Wangler is what it is and did nothing I wouldn't expect it to. The Landrover is interesting though. From what I've seen the main issue with it is the lack of room for bigger tyres and smaller wheels for "proper" off roading. The Defender was never designed to rock crawl. Its target market was people who want to pull a horsebox, boat or large caravan/trailer. The reason you can't fit 16 inch wheels on one is because the brakes are too big. It's brakes are that big because it has twice the towing and payload capacity of the Bronco. They are just meant for different roles. They are all "lifestyle" vehicles but there are many different lifestyles.

Before I was born my parents had to stay at the Ronald McDonald House near Milwaukee for over a year as my brother tried to battle cancer. My parents were struggling financially at the time and I remember hearing so much about how much it helped. Growing up I heard a lot about this and see the way that my Mom throws money at it now that things have improved for them whenever she has a chance. As much as your videos trigger me with my lack of a Bronco, and now the Gladiator I ordered in place of it (as the Gladiator plant shuts down) I'm reminded that things could be much worse. Thanks!

To be fair, the Defender didn’t fail that obstacle. It was doing it! Understandably (and wisely) the driver pulled the plug but it’s premature to say that it can’t make it. I would have loved to know what the infotainment inclinometer was showing right there. I think Land Rover claims something around 45 degrees? I’m sure that number is a bit worse with how high it’s been lifted. Regardless, phenomenal video and thanks for making this happen! Glad to see the Defender on level terms show what it can do.

I love and welcome them all: The Bronco, Defender and the Jeep are all amazingly capable off road vehicles! This was such a good adventure to watch. The Defender looked like it was gaining the traction it needed to make the V Notch climb but could have used some more weight on the front to keep it balanced. A little downward force on the front on the vehicle would have stabilized it enough to make it up. I have seen people holding or strapping down vehicles in extreme situations to keep them from rolling or flipping, especially 2 door jeeps on a steep rock drop off descent. The Jeep is a tried and true offroad champion, the Bronco is an amazing new offroader of equal capability, and the new Defender is rig that can hang with the best off road while still providing on road performance and refinement. Out of curiosity I wonder how the Mercedes G550 4x4 Squared with the right tires would do on this trail. Having a diversity of vehicles keeps things fun and interesting.

Great video, awesome seeing 3 great vehicles offroading. You definitely can see the focuses in each vehicle and how they excel in their own way. Its a great time to be an offroad enthusiast. You have the tried and true jeep with endless modification options and the rugged appeal, the new bronco with outstanding from the factory offroad performance and a great look and the defender with its great on the road manners and "fancy" feel while still being extremely capable. Jeep and bronco are definitely more comparable as the LR offers a very different thing but I'm very excited for the future of offroading.

That Bronco is truly impressive rock crawling even with the compromises. That rear control arm causing problems was definitely done like that for high speed stability when desert running. It's clear Ford wanted it to be able to do everything and considering that, it's impressive how well it holds up to the jeep. It's pretty clear it will never be better than a Jeep in a pure rock crawling scenario because of the IFS compromises but it's certainly not far off and I'm sure plenty of people will be willing to make that same compromise for the better on road handling.
