Thank You. Have a Blessed day everyone
What's the squiling sound coming from the trx
I’ve had OnX for over a year now and it works great! Can’t recommend it enough
Jeep
“I touched a little bit of skid plate there” hell my guy you nailed the trailing arm haha.
Nothing compares to a UTV in terms of just off road capability. The prices ,unfortunately, are now in car territory .
More than a car. I just grabbed an 03 Sequoia for $5400. Try finding a UTV for that
I’m happy I got my utv before the price spike
Absolutely with 4 wheels
That's why it amazes me that so many people have them. It's crazy that so many average people are able to justify spending that much money on a toy.
@@BYLRPhil You can't find an 03 utv so that is not a fair comparison, but you can find a 2014 for less than 5k. With regards to price of course the best ones are going to be expensive, the ones from back in the day were way cheaper, but they were slower, less reliable, less capable, and most people are looking at sxs's with four doors which also increases price by 20%
Kudos to the editors and producers of this video. Super well done. Especially in the beginning when Andre was talking about each car and the video on the on the trail was perfectly aligned with his audio.
Thank you for the kind words.
Shout-out to the camera man and video editor. Great job on this one guys.
I wonder if they have a new/different cameraman for this one. Some fresh shots in there. Well planned shoot.
Love the line "if you have the money for all three you cant go wrong"
I was worried that Kase was going to start manscaping while he was alone on top of the mountain 😂
"Kase"
There’s snow up there, I don’t know bout u but I ain’t taking shit out my pants up there.
Thank you for the bronco contact we’ve been waiting a long time for the bronco and we sure appreciate when you spend the time to make good bronco content
They basically drove up a 2 track 🤣
Bronco and TRX did great in avoiding the rocks... Same rocks were not even a slight challenge to the Can am. Love to see these same 3 rides on other terrain (dunes, fast trails, and Moab)
Well, more like the Can Am can rip itself on them and not be too damaged, plus it still struggled on that sharp corner which the Bronco took effortlesly.
@@raionshishi8290 The bronco went around the rock effortlessly lmao. Can-Am took harder lines because anyone can cruise gravel roads. No road vehicle can compete with a sxs off road. I've got a TJ on 37's that can't hold a candle to my stock Honda Talon. You're fooling yourself if you can't see this.
He could of gone over that first obstacle. Ive been there many times, its big but Ive seen stock 4runners/Jeeps go over it.
Hate to admit it, but Roman has the correct choice this time. Sure the side by side is more capable at scampering along in tight places, but when the temp drops, the snow and rain hit or it is blistering hot, I would rather be in an enclosed cab. ;) This fire road is hardly dramatic enough to warrant a side by side.
Fantastic video. The editing was so funny. The music stopping when the Can Am had to back up was great. Camera work was fun too. The T R X shots were a great touch. Your production team is stellar. Thanks guys
WTF - who needs a tape measure. "I'm going to fold my mirrors, I only have 2-3 feet of space either side of me...." LOL!!!!
Andre is that guy who feels like he has to do something when the correct thing to do is nothing.
I can appreciate the fact the trx is bigger...but cmon. "just barely fit" lmao you had over 2ft on each side not to mention the mirrors were never even remotely close to being an issue
They always get so dramatic for the camera
@@dandaniels4558 there’s trails narrow enough you can only walk them too, but that’s not what’s on the video today so bringing it up is irrelevant here
@@dandaniels4558 I think stock the bronco is more capable but the jeep is just so much more capable when you start modding it, and with the bronco there is no room for upgrading because of the ifs.
@@masonkaye5 with the jeeps solid axles they can also get more articulation the the bronco with the independent suspension.
I mean if ford had put solid axles on the front of the broncos, they would be very equal...jeep is smaller so would fit in tight spots better maybe but...
@@DIYShopGuru3239 Exactly the bronco is for someone who wants a better balance of offroad and on road use and the wrangler is better for someone who wants to make something very offroad capable.
I think Kase had the most fun here by far. SxS FTW.
yup, SxS to go offroad, 2door wrangler if you need street legal🤷♀️
The rest two were driving too slow for that trail. They both could keep up with the ATV, didn't see anything dramatic or challenging for such a capable vehicles. The only technical spot I noticed was the sharp turn.
You guys have the greatest job in the world. The locations you see and get to visit and getting to wheel and test new products. Y’all living the life!
I enjoyed this very much. 3 different vehicles with different setups, and all 3 did great ! Colorado is always so scenic. And the personalities of you guys are a great combination, from Case's boyish enthusiasm, to Roman's serious old guy energy, to Andre's Russian Bear spirit. Lots of fun! Thanks.
For having no weight in the back, the Trex did very well
I was actually surprised and pretty impressed with the TRX. It really did a great job for being the biggest and heaviest.
@@alanj7306 for 80k it better
Another great review, gorgeous scenery and Kase did a great job on this video I thought
Thank you for the kind words.
The POV angle was interesting too, would love to see it used more in future
Awesome vid! That Bronco is just amazing.! BTW nice to see Case getting some screen time. The kid does great job, IMO. Thanks guys!
TRX may do ok on trails, but it strikes me as being more of a desert runner.
@ Rick:
True, just like the Raptor (not sure about the Power Wagon and desert/Baja-running though). They are NOT that great on narrow trails, tight switchbacks or rock-crawling -- leave that to the Bronco & Wrangler...and Gladiator. ;-)
The TRX certainly isn't any "super truck."
-- BR
I'm Ohio and the TRX simply wouldn't FIT on the trails through the woods we run here.
@@jedironin380 ...neither would a Power-Wagon or Raptor here on many Colorado trails. Even if they made it through, the pin-striping (if not gouges/dents) would be considerable. ;-)
Given Jeeps (JLs and JTs) are quite "skinny," they're way more appropriate in that context. And IIRC, even the Bronco is a bit wider than a Jeep.
A "bonus point" (for me anyway): My Jeep Gladiator (mid-size truck) fits in my garage! That's one (but huge!) reason a full-size truck wouldn't do whether it was a street-truck or off-roader/desert-runner -- and regardless of how much (or little!) it cost.
-- BR
@@dandaniels4558 I ended up with the "skinniest" (?) mid-size truck of all of them: A Jeep Gladiator. The Tacoma was lacking some thing (for my needs) so I had to pass on it.
-- BR
When he folded the mirrors in I was like what 😂
I have trx fold in mirrors why so you cant see your truck . Cameras and mirrors work . You should got front cameras .hood you cant too much when your going up
After watching this, I'd say a 2 door bronco in the same spec would be unstoppable off-road. Excellent video gents!
Thank you.
@ Luis:
So is a 2-door Jeep Wrangler "unstoppable," and HAS been -- for decades! ;-)
Of course, NO vehicle is 100% "unstoppable" but the Wrangle isn't bested by the Bronco except on-paper...which won't last long when next model Jeeps beat it on-paper as well, and so the Bronco vs. Jeep see-saw/back & forth will continue into the future.
IMO, in the real world they are pretty much equal capability/performance-wise, and likely will continue to be, with neither of them being clearly/substantially dominant. OR "better" in-general than the other.
-- BR
@@billredding2000 the bronco was originally much more capable than the jeep ... but Ford decided to make them bigger and competed more with the blazer .. then they Really messed up in the 80s , but now I’m happy to see a bronco that mimics the ORIGINAL bronco and not there flops
@@hunterbasselite6826 Well, talking about what is currently available -- Bronco vs. Jeep Wrangler -- or Gladiator, even though Ford has NO direct competition to it given they cancelled coming out with the expected/anticipateda Bronco Truck -- I still say the Broncos and Wranglers are equally-capable in the real world (vs. on-paper specs), and either one can do whatever/go wherever the other can.
But like I said, I'm not in the mid-size SUV segment as I have a Gladiator Rubicon, and there's NO competition for it presently or for some time, given Ford's default.
As for the Chevy Blazer...they sure messed up THAT "comeback," didn't they. ;-)
Happy Trails (and/or Hwy),
-- BR
@@billredding2000 haha true , I think the jeep is better off road because of SFA , but new bronco is certainly close... I take my highcountry down pipe lines, deer lease roads , to my stands etc , I do like the new gladiators tho , in stock form they kinda weird looking because of the tiny tires , but with a 4” lift and 37s they set off real nice
Loved the video, but the one thing that drove me up wall was something that I have noticed while in the mountains in utah and the video. The side by side is just so loud and the exhaust drones.
Yes side by sides can be loud. But the Can Am is actually a bit quieter than some others.
One of my buddies in Quebec, Canada (where Can-Am is headquartered) just saw on the trails in the Laurentian mountains a high end FACTORY TEST MULE Maverick X3r with a FULLY-ELECTRIC skateboard motor setup. He took photos but hasn't shared yet but he did say it was was the quietest side-by-side he has EVER HEARD !!!!! it also had PHENOMENAL acceleration that just blew waaaaaaaaay ahead of his own fast Maverick in mere seconds!
And range-wise, he was hearing from others nearby of at least 250 Miles (402 km) to as much as 280 miles total driving range with the largest skateboard battery configurations! That is TWICE the range of the gas models! They must be using the fancy new high-power LG Li-Ion cells and filling the entire back and underside with batteries in order to get that sort of range!
So it DOES LOOK LIKE Can-Am is working on an all-electric Maverick in the great Canadian north woodlands and it looked pretty finished, so I would say 18 months to two years to retail production for the all-electric Can-Am Maverick AND probably also all-electric versions of the Can-Am Defender 4x4 and 6x6 models with the truck bed!
v
I have had a CanAm X3 4-seater for 3 years now and it will go everywhere. Just got back from a week at Sand Hollow and they are amazing vehicles!
The OLD DUDES drive like SENIOR CITIZENS heading for an EARLY BIRD SPECIAL.
Tough talk from a Keyboard Commando that drives a Honda Accord.
Who cares. Look what they're doing, and where. I'd trade for that right about now.
@@mikek5298 I drive a Honda CIVIC, AND, I off-rode with it all the time driving in the grass at my moms.
The old dudes drive like they've been around long enough to have learned that the trip is not just the destination.
@@thenotsoguitarguy9429 Maybe you did not watch the video, but this was a RACE.
"That's not fair that's the one mode I dont have" lmao, love this guy!
If I ever get the Bronco, TRX or Ford Raptor, I might as well get a FULL one-quarter inch THICK (8mm) Line-X brand truck bed covering of the ENTIRE outside and underbody of the vehicle because I can see that Andre is being sooooooo gingerly with NOT scratching his vehicle to such a point that it takes the fun out of off-roading when you have to worry so much about your paint job!
Just spray on the Truck Bed liner on EVERY PART of your vehicle and be done with your scrapes and scratches worry!
v
I was actually having buyers remorse and telling myself the past couple of past couple days why didn't I just go with the base level 4x4 with a e-diff locker on the ford ranger but now what I'll do in the future is I'll just buy a trailer & a side-by-side four seater and take the whole family and have fun
I’ll like to say thank you for using these vehicles for what they are met for off-roading I can’t imagine buying a New vehicle and taking it up a trail like that and possibly damaging it on the way. I am happy we can see how truly capable these vehicles really are with no aftermarket parts on them ,just OEM just like we can buy them from the factory. I just want to give you credit for good honest content. I really appreciate that you use OEM vehicles not some over modified vehicle. Keep up the good work. I would like to have seen Tommy’s Jeep with you and how it would have done . After seeing this I wonder how a two door Bronco would fair I like to say a bit better what do think? Maybe Tommy’s new Jeep against a two door Bronco let’s see what happens ya ??
Loved this video. Wish there was a Tremor there with you for comparison.
Nope
@@TFLoffroad Most underrated comment of 2021
Great video. I would like to see TFL test a base Bronco with the 7 speed manual and compare it to Tommy's Wrangler.
i bet you’d like to see ford’s most basic compared to jeep’s most capable lol.
Sadly, nobody does basic trims as everyone drools over fancy loaded that can do everything they will never do. A base Bronco is like $29 vs $60 plus for a loaded four door Bronco and the question is, does paying double get double the performance? Does it make more sense to buy a base Ram to travel and with money save just get a side by side?
@@davidzavala337 Better yet would be to buy the base Bronco or Wrangler and then not even get the side by side. Myself I prefer the base models over these overpriced loaded out models. Even the base models have a bunch of crap I don't want.
10/10 awesome video! More POV videos of the Maverick running trails please
LETS GO BRANDON!
32 minutes in and you beat me to it. Good job sir.
@@atowns3364 It’s my pleasure…thx!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 let’s go Brandon… let’s go…,👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
🤣🤣
Love it
That young guy is little too big headed. Lucky he didn't flip that side by side driving like a maniac.
Great video Guys, thank you a lot! I didn't have any idea abouth the width of Bronco, so I gave a look... unbelievable! 87 inches and even more (it depends on the model). OMG! Now I can understand why you were so worried about the width... it's huge!
Great video guys as usual! So much fun watching you guys have fun and doing what you love!
Side by side is the cheapest way to get a serious off-road vehicle and still have a comfortable mile eater
I'd love to see the bronco up against the Rubicon Xterme recon when you guys get your hands on one!
The top you guys have on the Bronco looks amazing. Blows the factory soft top away! Which top is that?
Bestop
Awesome video guys, we need more content! Bring it on
"Why go over it when you can go around it?"
...
...
...
...
Because that is LITERALLY the point. To test the vehicles capabilities... I mean isn't that what y'all are..? A vehicle reviewing and TESTING channel..? And sure. Offroading is gonna damage your vehicle. But you can be careful and still test the vehicles actual capabilities.
Was hoping someone else was annoyed at that ahah. They treated the TRX like it was gunna break as soon as it touches something
Saludos a todo el tem tfl !
Buena vibra!!
I think you guys should keep the bronco long term and test reliability and also use it as a benchmark/recovery vehicle. That'd be sick
I think that is his personal Bronco, not a loaner from Ford.
@@RandomGuyDan I know they bought it but typically they buy and sell after a year of ownership but that fully loaded bronco is sick. Plus it'd be great to see how an all new vehicle holds up over for the course 1-5 years
I really want a TRX but there’s no denying how good a SXS is. I’d take both!
My favorite part is where Andre spells T-R-X wrong.
So, what is the actual horsepower number for the Maverick? I heard three different numbers throughout this video. You said "190, 200, & 195". Moving on, I always enjoy seeing TRX off road. Fun video.
Would like to see a video with the maverick and the Bronco where you reach the limit of one of the two
Cas is so cute. I love him in all your videos you all are amazing 😊
I swear if you give cas my number and Snapchat and he wants to please have him add me. I’m going to send again because just in case it was missed I love you all Andre Tommy you cas all of you
@@justinbogan8072 bro calm down your internet crush
Great vid! I have to say I’d much rather crawl up a pass like that and enjoy the views than haul ass and be hyper focused on only what’s in front of you.
In terms of actual OFF-ROAD ability the Can-Am Maverick WINS HANDS DOWN!
The ONLY issue I have with it is its range is only 125 miles (201 km) which basically SUCKS!
I would have actually brought the Can-Am Defender Max Limited with the fully enclosed (and WARM!) cab, the truck-like bed in the back AND I can put in an extra in-bed fuel tank for huge driving range!
This is an interesting demo but they need to compare the high-altitude performance of Ford F150 RAPTOR, Ford Bronco, RAM TRX, Toyota TRD Pro, Nissan Frontier Pro4x and Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison Edition trucks ALL using the same tires (Goodyear Duratracs or Nitto Ridge Grapplers) including total driving range to empty AND THEN relegate the Can-Am to a Razr and Honda comparison INCLUDING total driving range with and without an IN-BED EXTRA FUEL TANK (120 litres aka 45 gallons minimum extra tank size).
The above noted comparison types are MUCH MORE usable by the average user than this video!

Extremely enjoyable content guys.
You make me want to go to Colorado tomorrow.
Case, Tom Cruise lookalike 'scoots' up the mountain 👍🏼 💛Bronco my favourite. RAM BLEH! I'm a raptor girl.
Yet another fun and high quality production from TFL!
Very entertaining guys thank you.
One thing to add is you have comforts in the Bronco or Jeep that you don't get in the Maveric. Like HVAC. Or protection if it starts snowing, raining, etc. Maveric is probably still the cheapest option, but I'm sure it's not super cheap. So tough one.
The XRC version comes with 32" tires and a winch standard. I know because I have 1.
Putting on lockers defeats the purpose of trail turn assist, you can’t turn one wheel slower if the drivetrain is mechanically locked together
Gm needs a bronco competitor
They had a great name and they blew it. Trail Blazer. They could’ve had the Portland Trail Blazers partnership with Oregon being know for the outdoors
@@corderajones they had the blazer and the trail blazer as a bastardized replacement… now the blazer is just another case of maximizing profits over delivering vehicles that live up to their heritage and spirit
What a great episode. Thank you guys!
Love the video guys. Great seeing Kase getting in more videos he’s great 👍
Cinematography was fire!
Ok I don't want to pick on Andre but at some point he's going to get used to driving offroad right? My Mom gets less paniky then he does. 😂😂
Seriously knocked it out of the park on this video! Incredible job on the video and editing!
I'm curious how much of this trail I could do in a 4 cylinder raisin body taco. I wish you would have kept that Tacoma for reference or just buy a taco and the only mods are dirt cheap mods we can do at home, spacer lift, tires, steel rims. Seeing how much of this trail is a challenge for a cheap 4 cylinder 4x4 truck for reference. Considering it's 13k ft elevation and most of the vehicles you take there are boosted or very powerful regardless.
Reading the title I thought “I’ll take the Maverick hands down” about a minute in I thought “nah, I’ll take a climate controlled cabin instead” it’s the ongoing love/hate relationship I have with Side by sides.
There’s no comparison. You’d have to have a trophy truck or ultra 4 car to keep up with a sxs in a full size vehicle. They are built to do one thing and do it well.
You can get that specced in the canam
We do this kind fo stuff all the time with our 2018 power wagon, 2017 wrangler, and 2021 can-am maverick X3 XRC.
You guys offering off road tours yet?? Need to try out my TRX!
Not a Ram guy but that TRX was impressive. That's a big heavy truck on some really lose rocks & it climb with no problem.
Sticking with the Rubicon! Way more capable than any bronco! Love the Can-Am & TRX though!!!
Great content. These vehicles made it too easy
Roman, it's orange. I have the same color on my Ford Ranger. I call it an old person's color because you can see it a mile away when leaving a store looking out at the parking lot. No need to remember where you parked.
Gorgeous scenery! Great video!! I love living in Colorado!
Great morning coffee videos ☕
@19:25 the bronco can very easily tow a sxs, you don’t need a 12k lb equipment trailer.
This Bronco is rated to tow 3,300 lbs. the side by side weighs about 1,800 lbs. with a light trailer, it’s still a bit too much for the Bronco to tow.
@@TFLoffroad plenty of trailers out there that will haul a sxs that weigh less than 1500lbs
@@Toolingabout you dont want to tow at close to the max though. I wouldn’t want to tow my $25k sxs on a tiny snowmobile trailer.
It's hard to describe how epic this video was...
Starting @7:23 , what's that noise coming from under the hood. Sounds like a pulley or tensioner may need to be checked. You don't hear it as much from the back.
Should add a dirt bike or dual sport just for fun too so TRX vs Can Am vs Bronco vs Dual Sport
Correction Andre - only in dumb Colorado (where I USED to live) can you not drive it on road (only off road). I now live in FREER state ARIZONA, where I drive my RZRs & CAN-AMs or whatever OHV, ON or off road. Keep trying to convince the Colorado communists to open up all roads for OHV vehicles! (More revenue, more access & more easily get your OHV vehicles to the trails!) Always great vids guys - THANKS!!
Why doe s the TREX sound like something is jingling or squealing on it? Like a belt is going already.....
What was the time to get up the mountain on the Bronco and TRX?
One day take the vehicles, especially Tommy's Jeep and The TFL Bronco in mud. Tommy's Jeep does not have dif-lock, would love to see how it performs in mud.
Add the defender to the mix
Great vid! Wish we had the bonco in Australia.
Great video as always, TFL. Fun, entertaining and not just the same ole set of vehicles you would expect out there. Though, woulda been fun to see Tommy's JL Wrangler in the mix too!
Turn signal kit on canam and it's an on road vehicle then too. Several states are now allowing registration for road use.
Whoever did the editing on this gets a 👍. Especially for that little music pause when chase backed up! Epic.
Secondly I wish you guys did more comparisons like this involving ATVS and SxS. Might I suggest a video series of ATV vs SXS vs Dirt bike and maybe even throw in a two door jeep or bronco!
In my opinion the SxS biggest benefit is if you break it you can dump it in the driveway and your not worried about not making it to work the next day.
I really didn't see any terrain that a 2wd, VW baja bug couldn't concur. And almost as fast as the Can-Am.
ikr 4x4 are like automatics.
ever since I saw your first video with the bronco I've been in love with it and I really want one. For sure the one I would get
I’ll take the bronco you can have the other 2
Nice, added some custom Colorado pinstriping to that TRX!
Did we not mention why the Bronco is a convertable? The hard top was already recalled lol. Good 'ol Ford is now back ordered.
It a convertible either way, the hard top also comes off regardless of its chatter
I feel at this time, it's hard to get any of these vehicles. But fun to see them in action
Love the Bronco. Another great video, thank you
Hi greate video what's the radio walkie that you used thanks
Love your trip guys I wish I can experience this off road challenge
This makes me want to buy a low trim half ton and get a SxS
You all could just make a contentless video like this of just the vehicles going through the trails and the scenery and I’d watch hours of it. Awesome locations and videography
The TRX will be a boat anchor of broken parts, recalls and an oil burning engine in a few years.
Exactly.
My Durango with close to 150,000 miles on it says otherwise.
@@RC-sj6zi you're lucky and I'm pretty sure you don't have the 6.2 twin scroll in your rusty beater Cletus
Ive been in a few side by sides now, and i just dont understand why you would by one.
so much more for that kinda of money
