Tug Of War: Ford Bronco Badlands vs Land Rover Defender - gallery

In his latest video, YouTuber Sam CarLegion subjected these two potent off-roaders in a series of tug-of-war battles

In the grey corner, we've got the Ford Bronco Badlands, which features a 2.7 liter EcoBoost V-6, that produces 325 hp & 399 lb-ft of torque paired to a 10 speed auto box with 4WD

The Badlands pretty much sits at the top of the Bronco range and the one seen here is sitting on proper off-road tires. It can two about. It has a dedicated tow mode and cal haul 3500 lbs

In the blue corner, we have Land Rover's latest generation P400 Defender that features a 3.0-liter inline-six, which produces 395 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 8 speed auto with AWD

So on paper, the Defender has more power but can that compensate for the Broncos off-road tires on snow?

Well, lets find out as these two thoroughbreds go head to head over four rounds

For round one, both SUVs are in their automatic 4WD modes. Both drivers take their foot off the brakes and gradually begin to apply pressure on the gas pedal

Despite having more power, the Defender struggled to put its power down and began to spin its wheels, handing over round one to the Ford

For the second round, the driver in the Defender decides to engage his differential and switches it up to off-road mode, to see if that makes a differend

Well, they got the answer moments later and the results were the same as before, with the Defender struggling for traction

For rounds three and four, Sam has both the differential lockers ON and turns off traction control, in four-wheel low

The LR didn't stand a chance this time with the Bronco pulling the Defender well beyond the midpoint
