Toyota 4Runner Trailhunter vs. Ford Bronco vs. Jeep Wrangler | Off-Road Comparison Test

I'm not sure this felt unbiased. On the first hill climb, the 4Runner seemed to have the least slip of all 3. The driver used more throttle, and both Jeep and Bronco spun tires, got sideways, and did some digging. I didn't see any of that with the 4Runner.

Just the fact they used for high on the first Hill shows a lot

You didn't actually lock the rear of the 4runner on the hill climb. The locker doesn't engage in 4h. That means it probably did the best.

Can you guys please hire someone to do off-road reviews who actually knows how to drive offroad?

Strange off-road test, where you don’t use the off-road capabilities. Did you also remember to inflate the tires to 50psi like the Rivian R1S Emma tested on the same hill?

I have a new Bronco. Perfect balance on and off-road. Love it! 4Runner can't take the roof and the doors off and yes, I do take them both off. It's a great feeling! My family loves it.

The sixth-generation Toyota 4Runner is here with a new Trailhunter trim that's meant to compete against the apex predators off-road: the Jeep Wrangler and the Ford Bronco. The Trailhunter's increased capability makes it a more viable option than ever before, but its snorkel (to keep dirt out of the intake) also projects plenty of wooshy turbo noises straight into the cabin. Would this be a deal-breaker for you? Let us know in the comments below!

Please find qualified offroaders for these. Ive tried all 3, have owned a 3rd gen 4runner and wrangler JK. Yet, it was clear to me that the most complete package and best value was the Ford Bronco Badlands. Got it early 2025, Im at 20k, lots of offroad and its been a joy

You gave the Bronco and Jeep way more throttle on the first climb. Toyota's ATRAC needs wheelspin to engage, but you didn't let it. Wish we still had car guys doing reviews.

The test was so simple and concluded. Didnt really tell much about these three true capability as off roaders.
