Ford Bronco Sport vs Toyota RAV4 TRD Off-Road: One Of These Cars Is Much Better In The Dirt!

U guys killing it as always. Respect 🫡

Didn't have to make a video for an obvious choice

As others have said, the more capable Badlands version only comes with the 2.0 liter - which is an awesome powerful engine. The 1.5 liter has mixed reviews and many issues reported by owners. Our ‘23 Badlands with full options cost us $43k. We love it!

Bronco Sport looks like a Clown Car…the RAV 4 will outlast the Ford 10x

Can't spell Toyota without "toy"... Bronco is a real little truck not a toy.

❤👌👌

still just ugly little cars

This Bronco Sport keeps up with its bigger brother. Tough little vehicle.

You can't get the Badlands with the 1.5 litre. Come on guys, it comes standard with the 2.0.

I mean this is easy:

1- If you want a toy to carry your fam, RAV4
2- if you want capability and insurance you will get through a storm, big snow, etc…and carry fam…Bronco Sport

I have driven both and the Bronco Sport out performs the RAV every time. Even the lower Bronco Sport models out performs the TRD RAV.

love the vids you guys do. but you guys know that the rav4 awd overheats. pushed to far you'll have to wait for cool down.

The Rav 4 Trd Off-road was created by the marketing side of Toyota, not by the engineering department. As an owner of a 4Runner TRD Pro, that badge for the Rav 4 is simply shameful!!

46k? No way in hell. You can get a wrangler for that or a 4Runner or a bronco

The guy in the Toyota can not off road.I guess they both can't.both the vehicles are in need of real drivers.

And that’s why I have a Jeep Compass Trailhawk, because I can tackle a lot of trails for a way cheaper price tag and great Offroad capability and protection

You can not get the badlands with out the 2.0 liter.

But I was 39k Out the door on my badlands with no options beside a tow package.

Will take the RAV4 reliability over the Bronco off-road capability any day

My wife got the ‘23 Badlands with just the 400A and trailer tow packages, total MSRP was $41480, so yes, you can definitely lower the price on the Bronco Sport.

You really want to have an even match put the same off road tires on each vehicle. That way traction is matched and it’s only the vehicle’s technologies being tested. If I were going off road in my vehicle I would have a deticated set of tires and leave the all seasons for the paved road.

Paid 32K for my wifes Bronco Sport Big Bend... she loves it!

I'll take that Rav4 any day!!

I wanted to get my wife a Bronco sport but I couldn’t trust the 1.5 and 2.0 ecoboost problems they have had.

Great video, but $42k for a rav4 and $46k for a baby bronco?? These car prices are insane and the people buying them are too lol.

Love my Bronco. I get 25 to 30 mpg. Can't lower my standards enough to drive Toyota. 🫡

Sorry but i would love to have the subaru Forester…and i hope they stop the CVT

Pretty sure if you get a Bronco Sport with the Badlands package, it comes with the larger engine.

What’s the point of the Bronco Sport? Why would you buy that over a Ranger XLT with a shell or hard cover? Priced the same, same mpg and way better off road. Smaller vehicles should come with more practical advantages.

Both are overpriced for what they deliver, Guess I'm just getting old(er). 😞

Just wondering why the heritage and not a badlands? Are they equivalent or something?

Can we get these with base model affordable version, the ones we can actually afford?

Rav4 is just a boxy awd Corrolla

As a Toyota fan I'm pretty disappointed they didn't do a better job with a TRD version but that's why everyone laughs at Rav-4 owners. Of course my TRD OR Premium package on my 3rd gen Tundra came with a 15 inch piece of plastic as it's "off-road skid plate" that I had to replace with a real RCI one and it appears this had a better one.

And cruise control!

anyone who off roads will not buy either of these

Case needs to be featured in more of these tests!

That rav4 sucked 😂

Im a massive car noob but one is a family road going SUv from the ground up and thr other is a 4WD from the ground up ? Makes far more sense to compare a 4 runner or new land cruiser when released?

This was a really disappointing comparison. The Heritage is not an apples to apples comparison to the TRD Off-Road.

46k is stupid, 4 banger only? Nope.

What happened with the FJ Cruiser you guys bought

Toyota shouldn’t have put an off-road name on the rav4 while it is probably superior in terms of quality/reliability but it’s no where near as good as a Subaru or even the bronco sport

Toyota really doesn’t have compact off roader suv like ford does with the BS . So I guess the FJ cruiser would fit that . The rav is more like Explorer

Can't believe people are paying over 40k these days for a compact crossover...

The Rav is a mall crawler and should not be taken offroad. Toyota is throwing the TRD badge on all their terds.

I’m very impressed by Bronco Sport. Definitely not as capable as the Big Bronco, I think the Sport carries the Bronco name well!

I don't understand the premise here. Wouldn't it make more sense to have the same person drive both cars, if you really want to compare them?

Can't believe Toyota tainted the TRD badge by putting it on a Rav! 🤦

So how bout a real off road competition? Bronco sport and a Forester wilderness. The Subaru is cheaper, has better AWD, better ground clearance, and looks better too

Would like to see how a Crosstrek compares with either of these two in this demo.
