HERE'S HOW THE NEW 2022 FORD BRONCO RAPTOR COMPARES TO THE JEEP WRANGLER RUBICON 392

EV Channels Review

This video provides an in-depth look at the 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor, highlighting its significant upgrades over the standard Bronco and comparing it to the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392. The reviewer emphasizes the Raptor's enhanced off-road capabilities, including its wider track, 37-inch tires, stronger Dana 50 rear axle, and advanced Fox 3.1 Live Valve shocks with jump mode. A key discussion point is the absence of a V8 engine, with the explanation leaning towards production line limitations and cost rather than solely CAFE standards. While praising the extensive engineering and off-road prowess, the reviewer criticizes the $1,800 carbon fiber interior package and the orange seatbelts as overpriced options. The large fender flares are also noted as a visual drawback, resembling 'clown shoes.' The latter half of the video features an interview with Doug Campbell of Solid Power, discussing the advantages of solid-state batteries, including increased range, inherent safety, and potential cost savings, with automotive applications anticipated by 2027.
