Ford Ranger Raptor vs Jeep Wrangler Rubicon vs Suzuki Jimny 2019 off-road review 

The fact that the Jimny is in the video already proves something.

After all is said and done the Jimny went everywhere the other two money pits went....with road tyres at that. The Jimny is just amazing. Imagine if Suzuki spent a little more on it...better tyres, a locking dif...wow, it would be nigh on unstoppable. Plus I like its looks. Go Jimny!

this review sounds like there is bias against the Suzuki. I've had a couple of Suzuki and they have been the best! capable off road and fun to boot, well built, reliable and all round excellent value. considering the price and the fact it did actually go everywhere the others did with street tyres, it's the winner for me.

Flip through these comments and you only see one word,JIMNY.

Next test - driving in the snow with a Ford F-150 in studded tyres, a Jeep Wrangler with extra grippy winter tyres and a Suzuki jimny with race slicks

Told my kids I’m getting them a Ford Raptor, and rocked up in a Jimny... they asked where the Ford Raptor was, and I told them the $40k extra I would of spent on the Ford was used as a deposit for an investment property so they can use the rent from it one day to buy their own Raptor lol

Who else thinks the Suzuki will outlast the other two in real world ownership

Jimny and 10k in tyres diffs and bar work would eat the other 2 and still be less than half the price.

Considering everything, brilliant little Suzuki. 👍

Buy a Jimny, invest in wheels, winch, lift kit...you name it, eat those 2 cars for dinner and still have 25k left. It`s a no brainer!

Even though I live across the water from Australia, your reviews are complete, informative and one of the best on RU-vid. I really enjoy your channel and Thank you.

Whilst the jeep is a dedicated off roader, it was the only one here with MT tyres which isn't real fair

mate, i am a jimmy owner. I have MT tyres and no problems. You need to do a fair review

It's amazing a cheap 4x4 on road tyres can even climb up the muddy incline. The Jimny is a cracking zero BS go anywhere car.

Finally an offroad test that actually tests the cars offroad!

i prefer 3 jimnys than 1 of those other monsters !

Jeep wrangler...Rubicon. My dream SUV car

If you don't have a car workshop, buy a Jimny and be happy.Japanese cars are in other level.

The Jimny with 2500€ of upgrades (new lift system and tyres) is a much better beast, maybe even better than those cars and it will still coast a third of the price

Jimny...I love the little thing.

Suzuki needs to bring out a 6speed auto/manual Turbo Diesel Option Jimny in 2020

C'mon, you could at least give Jimny AT/MT tyres... Their HT tyres may be factory standard but anyone who plans to go to terrain will instantly change it.. Also, You went bit over wading depth of the Jimny. That poor boy now has probably water in differential cases because they were fully submerged.

It goes about its business differently but still achieves the same result. It's the Jimny for me.

Next week, what is the best pickup? The Raptor, The Hilux or the Jimny. And the week after that, what is the best supercar? The Bugatti, the McLaren or the Jimny. :D

Give me that Jimny. I will show you how capable it is. Put on some all terain tyres and drop the tyre pressure to 0.4 bar. Give it a 50 mm lift and it's a complete different ball game. You tested it with road tyres off road. Lol

I want to live my life always learning and getting better thing that why I would pick the jimny

With half the weight of the other two the Jimny tyre pressure could have been dropped quite a bit more I guess. I love the comparative review!

Gotta give the jimny credit as credit is due, BUT TRUTH BE TOLD, the reason why jimny is quite popular is simply because its what those people’s pockets can afford. #Facts

I think ford need a car like jimny

Love the review mate..the JL Rubicon is so much better than the JK..been out for 2 years now in USA, amazing capabilities and rides well on road now too..I loved it so much I bought one..it arrives in Dec 2019. I looked at LC200, Patrol, Raptor, XLT, and Prado but the Rubicon is by far the best off the showroom floor and stock is still more capable than all others with aftermarket kit..can’t wait to get it

some good suspension work and a diff lock the suzuki would be such a magical thing.

Very nice test. Regards from Argentina.

Unfair comparison with the jimny on street tyres. Jimny with all terrain tyres and a good setup with aftermarket suspension will be perfect for my taste. Considering buying one myself as soon as it comes to Fiji

Did you forget the Raptor part at the water section?! Any thoughts about its water capability?

4 year waiting list for the jimny... At least i have time to save money...

Did you get it right? I don't think so. Starting with 20psi in the Jimny tyres when specified pressure is only 26 psi, you should drop tyre pressure by the same percentage. Jimny will always struggle due to smaller tyres. Check back in 10 years to see which is the most reliable, not the Jeep or the Ford.

I'd like to see the Jimny match up with the Cherokee trailhawk or Renegade Trailhawk.

Thanks Crafty, everything you said is valid. The Jimny is small and nimble but you'll definitely feel that while driving, nothing wrong with that.

I see the jimny doesn't have off-road tires

The suzuki jimny seems more capable and easy to handle given its suv size.👍

In my country there is an 500+ members waitinglist for Jimny. I have one. I love it too much. That esp based offroad traction system works fine. On hard terrain i use 1 bar pressure in my tyres and can solve every situations. Less is more. I dont care the brand logos on the bonnet. Only the performane count to me. Small weight is huge advance. Before you say that: of course bcouse you have no more money. Dear friend iam preety rich and i had mercedes g wagon. I sold it that overpriced car and i kept Jimny much more funny to drive. Iam love with it. Cheers

Need to change the tyres on the jimny man.

despite the "stock" status of all the cars. good job to suzuki!

man spend around 3k on the jimny and it will smoke the other two with vert little cost

people may say that this test may seem a bit unfair, but this test revolves around what you get out of the showroom and based on this, the jeep is definitely the best of the bunch. For me though, i love the looks of that jimny and really, who can say no to such a cheap and fun car? spend like 15k on locking dif, tyres and suspension, the jimny would be one hell of a mountain goat.

They all test the Jimny with road tyres. I had mine delivered with BF KO2:s on it.

Video yang menarik dan menyenangkan.. saya pilih jimny, modifikasi sedikit, bisa sikat habis semua..

Yeah, might one of the strengths and weaknesses be that the Jimny is fitted with ROAD TIRES. Jesus; what a joke.

Go the Jimny ❤️

Carsguide you have upset a lot of jimny fans below 😂

Cool test. I like that Ford and Jeep make an out of the box proper 4x4 variant with actual off-road tires and suspension. Something very much missing amongst the other manufactures who cover the standard model with macho bling but stick with mall tires and the standard suspension.. Also, FWIW, I bet the Jimny would be a heap of fun here in the High Country with a few simple modifications..

What a BS test. Jimny had Highway tires 🤦

Is that water depth going to be ok with the jimny if it's stock without diff breathers?

jimny > nasa's spaceship and literally everything else 🤤

Just supply me with a California turbo diesel jimny and I'll be buying two.

Yes you did get it right sir.

I am owning a Ranger Raptor since about a month and i could not be any happier!.

Jeep Wrangler Rubicon🔥

Jymni is the best, with these tires 215/75R15 BFG AT KO2 Jymni is absolutely the best ! Do not offend the kid with the test on factory tires!

all i keep thinking is, Jimny - small - neat - fun on road & off - capable - cheaper - good kit straight from the showroom [gives you room to add stuff] - petrol not diesel [plus for the environment] goes anywhere - cute as & if you want something that'll do all that & you live in the country like I do & you don't need to pack a family or go off road camping, but you do want to handle dirt, a blt of mud on steep driveways & bitumen, up to a 100km range, Well????? just sayin'........... P.S me mother bought the 1st gen Jimny 98 or whatever & my brother was still driving the little bugger last time 'bout 2016 roughly, still tootling along like a little rocket! wonder if the Raptor or the Rubicon would, was pretty good on servicing & parts too......... just sayin'

Ahh why couldn't you be our life coach Crafty? Entertaining as ever. Pity the Jimny gave up on the diesel manual. Also it needs a 6 speed anything.

Tyres! How can you do a direct off road comparison with one vehicle on road tyres and another on mud tyres??!! 🤷🏻‍♂️

IMO here's missing the toyota LC 200 in order to find wich's the best offroad vehicle

Great test

wow jimny with road tires... definitely better

The title should have been "why you should buy a Ford raptor instead of jimny or jeep off-road"

Yes you got it right

Quand on voit les pneus qui équipent le Jimny, on ne peut qu'admirer les performances de franchissement dans la boue ! Un merveilleux petit 4x4, dommage qu'il ne soit pas sorti avec le 1.4L BoosterJet bien plus coupleux, et pas autant taxé au niveau co2, qui est de 6300€ pour le modèle en boîte auto. On voudrait l'éliminer, on ne s'y prendrait pas autrement...

Jimny Wins!! The other 2 cars are using offroad tires!! Not fair!!

Jimny with street tyres???

Rubicon!!!

Where is this test/training place?

Jimmny the best,it last forever too

I'd like to test em all out my self ..

If l wanted to carry tools and tow 3 tons l would choose the Ford Ranger, if l wanted a hard core off the showroom floor offroader l would pick the Jeep Rubicon, if l needed a small easy to drive and park in town 4x4 that could carry what l needed l would get the Jimny.

Why don't you guys test a Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk off road? There is not alot of that on the RU-vid

Only missed F-150 But anyway, cute comparison 🤓🚗

and the jimny is on road tyres, and factory suspension !

If they ever release the jimny in canada, i’d buy it in a heart beat.

Jimny needs 6sp manual and 8 sp auto.

Did he say the Rubicon has a 1 star safety rating, and the Jimny a 3? How on earth could the jeep be so bad. Ontop of that, tromped by the Jimny. Also notice the 100 series at 4,38. In 15 years you would be lucky to see either of the trio tested as the go to vehicle for getting the crew around.

i think the raptor won because i love it and if there will be a little adjustment it will be more infact if there was another word for more than it will be for it

Lots of Jimny fans here who apparently don't have many friends or kids to bring with them on offroad outings. The Jeep and Ford can take you, your kids, your dog and all their gear anywhere with CONFIDENCE and in comfort. Usually you get what you pay for. Also, Jeeps will last for many decades and still be cool. You can buy one and keep it for 75 years. You'll have to buy 3 Jimnys to do that.

Why is the Rubicon watered down for Oz? Smaller weird sized tyres, low fenders, and where is the 3.0 V6 diesel?

The fact remains that neither of the other 2 out performed the jimny. There was nothing they cld do that the jimny cldnt and nowhere they cld go that it cldnt... pound for pound it's the best

3 vehicles I can't get in the US. At least not with the same drivetrains.

Why is the ncap rating so low on the wrangler?

You got it right

I wanna see a Prado on that track.

Jimmy is the best just kidding I'm not a nerd. GLADIATOR then RAPTOR then that toaster lunch box looking thing. Haha jimny...Haha! Gaayee!!!

The ranger raptor has monotube fox racing shocks, not twin-tubes, its internal looks like a twin-tube design, but it's not.

The jimmy is good but on road you have to make some sacrifices. In my opinion the Jeep is the best one for the money excluding the jimmy since it didn’t come to the USA but the price needs to be better when considering a Jeep or ford truck

can i get all 3 for 100k?

Question is: What would Burt Reynolds drive?

jimny

If I was travelling from south to north africa I would take the Rubicon.That Jimny will struggle taking on extra fuel which adds to weight etc.The most comprehensive fun 4x4 is the Rubicon.hands down.

Jimny is the best

Never heard of meters?

Super 👍👍👍
