Published 2022-08-18
What car screams all American authenticity, raw off-road power, and represents a full-circle piece of automotive history? We give you, the 2023 Ford Bronco Raptor.
In this episode of ICONS, Jason Cammisa reviews the Ford Bronco Raptor, alongside the Jeep Wrangler 392, the Mercedes G63 AMG, and the Land Rover Defender 90 V8. Jason puts the BRaptor to the test, to see if it can compare to these three legendary off-road vehicle brands.
We'll take you overlanding (sort of) into the off-road mecca of the Bronco, as well as into the more 'realistic' suburban Starbucks laden lands, to put the Raptor to the ultimate test. Does the Ford Bronco namesake, reanimated from its 1970's grave, stack up against these three well established automotive Icons? Is this new Raptor revival a practical vehicle for the modern driver? And what differentiates the Bronco Raptor from the baseline Bronco, Bronco Heritage, or Bronco Sport?
Join automotive journalist Jason Cammisa on his journey, as he discusses if the new Bronco Raptor is truly 'Built Wild,' or should be exiled...

Cinematique-Fantastique, Jason, Anthony Esposito and team! What fun, and deep-dive insight. And I get to be part of it sometimes! And behind the scenes, the team creates this quality so efficiently it is incredible. Bravo Hagerty for giving them the platform, and it’s so good for your channel.
-
Whether it’s Motor Trend, ISSIMI, Hagerty or whatever platform he chooses in the future, Cammisa kills it every time.
-
youtube, your algorithm is broken. This deserves millions of views. The quality, and Jason being Jason… requires this to be viewed by EVERYONE. Thank you guys for making this!
-
Adam Sandler is a certified legend 💯
-
We all bow down; that was truly incredible for the price we paid to watch. Jason & team, ya nailed it!!
-
I feel like I was watching an episode of Top Gear with how well shot and edited this was. This was a great piece of art work. Great Job Jason, Anthony, and everyone else that works on these to put them together. Absolute master class.
-
Cammisa has forgotten more about being the best automotive personality in the business than most will ever know. He’s out at Car Week, reeking of improperly jetted Ferrari carbs right now looking like Sandler, rubbing shoulders with auto-execs and getting his butt kissed for fun! I love this guy!
-
I am a Digital Cinematography student at Full Sail and I often get asked (somewhat sarcastically) "So what do you want to be, like a YouTuber or something?" to which I reply "something like that" I then text them any one of your videos from the past year, with a comment that reads "...something like that." You and your team are an inspiration!
-
The energy put into his videos is contagious! In every single one Jason is amazing.
-
Now THIS is automotive content that was missing from YouTube for a while now, Thank you Jason and the team for bringing such amazing videos to life!
-
It seems like Cammisa always wanted to be in a movie--so he makes his videos like one. That said, the attention to detail in just about everything upstages the awesome products he reviews. Bravo
-
Man! I was on my feet for the whole episode! At midnight, with the lights off, and everyone else asleep. Cinematography, presentation, enthusiasm, and everything a car guy comes here to watch, is in these videos. And the quality keeps improving. You guys rock!

Jason does the best automotive reviews IMO. And while I'm sitting in a Dr office I have the CC on, kudos to whoever does that because the jokes in the captions are 100% on brand.
-
Literally a better modern day Top Gear I love this channel.
-
i really love seeing how much fun Jason has on this show. It's truly infectious and he's all the more a better host with such a great attitude, humor, and authenticity. Love this series. Please never stop making these.
-
I cannot imagine the amount of work that went into this work of art. thank you.
-
The part where you were running over all the curbs made me realize that maybe this is what my fiance should be driving...
-
18 minutes of pure joy and smile. Jason and his team is the best thing happened with auto journalism since famous Top Gear trio
-
This is the most honest review of an off-road truck ever - Drive it down a gravel road a Prius could clear, then run over a bunch of stuff in the suburbs. Who's your market? People who need an off-road vehicle because they can't figure out how to drive in a strip mall parking lot without running over people, stationary objects, and landscaping? Self-parody.
