I would rather see a real-world test like backing in a parking spot, circling the parking lot for the perfect spot, and filling up your trunk with your latest Costco haul.
How would a different trim Bronco make any difference in the comparisons that they are making in the video? Normally, I would agree, however the stuff they are comparing wouldn't change with a different Bronco trim.
The criticisms for the transfer case and e-brake being manual are hilarious. Car people know which is better mechanically and which is the superior driver experience.
The criticism for the bronco's mirrors being separate from the door also made me stop listening. The freedom to choose whether or not you have the mirrors on is a plus, always. Can't take you seriously if you criticize a clearly superior option.
@@odethious5639 also I have my top and doors off my wrangler rubicon as we speak. I have after market side mirrors. They cost 15 dollars and take literally 10 seconds to take on and off. I had them off this weekend because the trails we were on were so tight. I'd rather the choice to have them on or off, after market or oem, cheap or expensive. I have tons of options.
@@christopherjb274 Yeah that's perfec because you won't always be in tight trails. I don't know what that dude was on about complaining about mirrors. It's a really simple job too, especially if you just got done taking off doors......
Does any youtube reviewer think to mention the Broncos safety features ? If you're comparing the everyday use of these then the Broncos side curtain airbags alone are a huge plus when you're driving the kids around .
I’m seeing a lot of salty bronco fans here. Honestly I like the Bronco even though I own an Wrangler. But I was really surprised when I did the ride along at the Chicago Auto show and the Ford people were making excuses for it already. The biggest one was “Jeep has an 80 year head start”. That’s not a good way to sell the Bronco. And not very confidence inspiring.
I feel like Ford used those 80 years of experience to try to one up the Jeep. Honestly, out of the gate Ford may have edged out the Wrangler, but only because choice of factory tires and shocks. But, where the Jeep shines is that customizability and solid axles. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. IFS systems have hard limitations in the off road world. Try doing Big Bear pass in Telluride with IFS without bringing a second set of underwear. The solid axle platform is more planted. Ford wanted to please the on road community with off roadability. Jeep wanted to please the Off road community with on roadability. Personally, I own a Wrangler Rubicon Diesel because it fits my needs. Ford has yet to offer that.
While that is true, I wouldn’t compare a telluride suspension system to the hoss ford system. The raptor suspension that the bronco uses is a well tested vehicle, and would definitely make the pass to big bear. I do agree with the advantages in articulation and crawling. All this is coming from a Jeep jk fanboy. Lots of love brotha!
@@michaelmarin2663 , hey you know what though. At least they didn't pull a Chevy thing on us like that whatever the Blazer is.... that's a disgrace to all of humanities engineering creations. 🤣
I’m gonna post probably the most unbiased thing here after watching hours and hours and more research than ever on this topic, it is remotely the same. Bronco is a little better on highway due to independent front suspension, jeeps are a little more capable on MAJOR rock crawling, they are about the same on most off-road (not rock crawling) and with that said most people who buy these for the off-road sport and experience put major aftermarket into it. So with that said, it’s literally just what you prefer, but saying one is overall better than the other, not really possible at this point tbh
...yeah, you roll that Bronco hard on its side and that little roof rack bar is just going to pop off...and one large 'halo' isn't as strong as a similar 'halo' with a huge brace in the middle...
I'm 6'5" and really loved the Jeep but I do NOT FIT!! My head will be destroyed on the first bump I encounter! Jeep needs to update interior room for Taller folks! Bronco is swimming in room and comfort!
I just bought a Wrangler a couple months ago ( my 3rd) and I still love them especially the JL which has addressed a lot of the short comings. I absolutely would have shopped the Bronco as well but there’s no inventory and the prices are inflated. I’d say there’s at least a reasonable chance it’s as good if not better then a Wrangler but I didn’t think worth paying more for and waiting a lot longer. Maybe in 4 or 5 years when I’m in the market again I can revisit the Bronco but it’s a bit of a unicorn right now rendering a comparison pointless in ways
this is objectively the worst review I have seen so far on the bronco VS wrangler. Literally 0 information, highest trim of Jeep VS a middling tier of the Bronco.
Oh for Pete's sake. We could expect the Jeep to edge out the Ford in extreme four wheeling, but these two dorks give the Jeep the edge in "refinement". Because of the door screws or something. The entire automotive world is saying the opposite.
Yes, cause taking off the doors is super important as a daily driver, but steering, handling, and safety tech is an afterthought. WTF were these guys smoking?
...most of the 'automotive' world that I've seen brings the Jeep down to the Broco's best capabilities so then the 'street' side of the Bronco give it the edge...whereas had they took the comparisons up to the Jeep's best capabilities to see if the Bronco could stack up...I would bet that it wouldn't... ...it's like when people compare say a Demon to other cars that they figure should compare to it on a regular strip of pavement and then state 'oh look, the Demon isn't all that big of a deal'...no, the Demon was designed to be used on prepped strips...do that and a lot of 'comparisons' are buggered...
Kudos to the MotorTrend reviewers. Many people focus on dissing Jeep any chance they get, because that's the bandwagon thing to do. "It's just a Jeep" well... not sure if you've paid attention these modern Jeeps since FCA/Stellantis formed... They still hold true to the heritage and the rugged nature but genuinely offer such a good platform and are increasingly offering more luxury amenities. The 3.6 has proven reliable, the eco diesel is a excellent option. The turbo and hybrid are practical, and the 392 is ridiculous and that is awesome. It's still a Jeep and that's what we want. Options is the name of the game... You can get a base Wrangler with roll up windows and half doors, or now you can keep the wife happy with fine materials and and a mega sunroof basically. The new Bronco is incredible, but it's also making me realize Jeep raised the bar even without competition for the last few years.
Ok se we’re going to knock on the bronco saying that hopefully you don’t take them off after shopping but where are you going to put them for the wrangler if putting them in the car isn’t an option at any point. Oh no my rear door on a bronco doesn’t swing open carelessly it has a nice feature… let’s nock it for that too since we have a soft spot for the Jeep. Can y’all make an unbiased video? And this isn’t me defending the bronco, I’m a GM guy I just hate how the video is so one sided when even I as a chevy fan can see that ford actually did good and in many ways beats the Jeep
Smh this is freakin Motor Trend. And you only got the Badlands to compare to a Rubicon? Come on people other smaller channels like TFL Offroad and others have full comparisons with the Badlands with Sasquatch package and the Rubicon.
Wish Chevy would make a Wrangler-like vehicle to lower prices. Instead, they put an engine behind the driver for the Corvette. Ford GT did this in the 1960's, a little behind. Paying 50k for a wrangler, and they HOP INTO NEUTRAL (manual) ON A BUMPY ROAD....Jeeps are junk
Ford bronco owners r showing broken front end parts ..a broken tie rod end and other video of broken CV shaft . How is the new Ford bronco supposedly be competitive with the Jeep wrangler. I've cancelled my Ford bronco order ..and not to mention about the frameless door on the bronco ...there's another video about the window not going down when closing the door and the window banging against the body. There's a reason y Jeep is better .
They didn’t talk about the lack of leg room for the driver in the Jeep. I’m 5’9 and I have long legs and I couldn’t straighten my legs all the way out.
i'm 6'2" and fit great in my 2022 Wrangler but it has Death Wobble at 8,900 miles. The Bronco will not get Death Wobble because it has independent front suspension
Bronco is the best marketing the Wrangler has had in a while! Look at how much it’s being talked about now that people have a reason to compare it to something.
I agree. I was super hyped for the Bronco, and really wanted to buy one. But now that the reviews are out, I'm actually comparing it with competition. I'm left thinking -- ehhh, the Jeep seems better? And I never even gave the Wrangler a second look until now, lol. I think I'll get one when my truck dies. Bronco needs a few model years of refinement, imo
Yep, people who maybe never wanted a Jeep are watching these videos. Despite these two goofballs, I think the average person will prefer the Bronco in most real world conditions but some will definitely be swayed towards towards a Wrangler. I actually don't think they even touched on the main difference that people will notice/focus on: The Jeep is small and quirky, the Bronco is bigger and roomier and feels more like a "regular" SUV.
Owners of each will Be biased but I’ve driven in both. On road and off road, similar trim levels too. I prefer the bronco. Feels better, feels more complete and more up to date. I truly enjoyed the bronco so i ordered myself a badlands
If you want a review of the new Bronco & Wrangler comparison by two wanna be off road guy's that like going 80 mph in their "Off-Road" rig, this is for you.
“Motor” Trend and they didn’t talk about the motor…or the transmission, suspension, off road tech…c’mon man. Obviously a couple Jeep fan boys, but I get that…I am one too but you gotta give Ford a little more credit here. Failed to mention the Bronco can option a bigger screen and wireless CarPlay, wash out floors and marine grade vinyl, 360° camera, the tailgate opens further…but don’t worry you have 6 tie downs (which they covered twice).
Oh so you have a spot to put the botls for the doors with the jeep but you dont have a place for the doors ? Lmao and the side panels in the cargo area oh the bronco has hard plastic move over to the jeep same plastic lol the way these guys drool over the jeep leads me to believe this is a biased opnion
You better throw the word Badlands in there because you can get the Sasquatch with the Basic Bronco, which has very little. Also, why would you compare a vehicle with electric with one with no electric? It won't be long before the Bronco comes out with an electric Hybrid.
@@rediron44, No, but I will stand behind them when someone bashes them unjustly, just as I would when uninformed people bash other car makers. I know very little about the Toyota 4Runner and I don't bash the vehicle, only some of the people who drive them. So stay in your car and you won't get run over.😏
I don't care about the cheap plastic The design look a lot better on the bronco.... But ifs very capable in trail Look Loren Haely doing the rubicon trail Can't not beat sasquash for 5k 35 inch tire and lock dif front and back and 4.7 dif gear ratio
Never beem a fan of chrysler product.... I bought durango 20 year ago.... the worst vehicle i ever bought i decide to never buy chrysler product after that....
Bronco vs jeep Search Loren Healy rubicon trail If the bronco can't do that trail easy.... I test bronco in moab trail Dome Plateau... I wss convice the bronco way better then jeep ....
Wrangler is been around so long that's why it's better I do like the faced that the bronco is around now but it will take them years to work out all the tweaks that need to be done
Ummm you should’ve used a Sasquatch package equipped Bronco. And talked about the differential locks on both. On the Bronco you can use the front locker and rear locker on they fly anytime you want. Unlike the Jeep. And then theres the awesome disconnect-able swaybar
They both have the disconnect. The on obstacle disconnect is a party trick at best. I never had any issue disconnecting the jeep. If you wait till you are on an obstacle you are doing it wrong.
I've NEVER used my front locker without the rear locker. And I always disconnect my swaybar before coming to an obstacle. Both of your arguments are just fallacies created by the Ford Marketing department that aren't really an issue to begin with.
@@stinggreyjlr9535 Yeah, with the front locked it is really hard to turn. My samurai was set up to do it but I would never used it once. Nice thing about the jeep is you lock both with one switch. Funny thing that people are impressed with is how fast the Bronco lockers engage, no blinking light. Well they are the same lockers so I think Ford just did not include an indicator to test if it is truly locked or not.
@@RickStefani Yup, I would imagine they are using the same electric locker as the Wrangler since I believe the differentials are the same between the two. Just fooling people that it locks instantly haha.
Solid front axle vs independent? The Wrangler platform is probably a lot more modifiable than the Bronco, and not just because of the quantity of parts already available. For some reason the Wrangler just seems to have a more robust suspension than the Bronco, but what do I know? All I have is a Vette and a 79 CJ5 lol
Why jeep wins Mopar performance offers dana 60 crate axles, crate hemi v8s and lift kits and other hardware straight from the factory so you can build an offroad beast if you like
What I like best about your video was that you guys basically were just having a convo about the cars pros and cons, basically making the video more engaging rather than just listing stuff off. I feel I learn and interpret things a lot better when done in this type of format.
The key significance of this video is that Motor Trend is the first mainstream publication that dares to say what many sort of knew, but every other media outlet has been scared to say publicly: as good as Bronco is, it is NOT a better off-road vehicle than Wrangler. Now watch a bunch of others media outlets do the same and start to state the obvious.
I feel similar. The Bronco has so many quality issues and the interior looks so cheap. The lack of a usable tach gauge is absurd too. I just can’t believe a brand new design resulted in such a basic/cheap looking plastic interior. It looks like an suv with a bare bones interior that happens to include a large screen. It’s also a bit bloated and much heavier than the wrangler. I don’t see these being as well engineered and the reviewers were right, the Bronco makes the wrangler interior look luxurious. I’ve driven a Bronco and a wrangler same day and the wrangler just felt so much more fun and appealing to me.
Well you can likely buy a wrangler. And Ford tech is both exciting and terrifying. I had 13 recalls on my 2018 F150. I’m loving my 4xe so far. Bronco maybe in two years or so, after Ford improves the reliability that I suspect is not good.
@@landon5990 Jeep typically redesigns the Wrangler every 10 years. However, they do make some changes throughout those years. Using the JK as an example, the interior was updated in 2011 and the Pentastar V6 was introduced in 2012. So, given the history of the JK, I could imagine that Jeep would end up changing some things with the JL in the future.
The company that puts a Diesel in first wins. Both are TOO WIDE. The TJ was outstanding, probably the best Jeep ever. Straight 6, Manual Transmission, and modern as 1997-2006. The Suzuki Jimny is what I’d love to see imported into the US.
I’m glad Ford brought the Bronco back. Unfortunately, Ford isn’t the same company as the one that built the last version of the Bronco. The materials, engineering and execution are lacking. This isn’t isolated to the Bronco, but it suffers from the same afflictions as most modern Fords. The recall rate for Fords has increased by seven since 2000. Not a good trend. The gas powered Wrangler is probably the best choice here.
If you spend more time on roads unless you want to feel you are always correcting the steering, tiring on a long journey the Bronco with IRS front suspension makes it a better vehicle.
Used the trail sights on the Bronco at the Off-Roadeo. I was amazed how useful they are. Our trail guide had us turn past a tree that I didn't think I could make at all. But you really can get close to those trail sights on the hood.
Think both are solid, but right now Jeeps proven track record and huge aftermarket parts accessibility/affordability plus resale value is why I have 3 Jeeps
Was thinking the same but now hearing about Bronco’s poor build quality and major engine and transmission failures and recalls. Looking at Jeep until the next gen Bronco. Same quality concerns stopped me from looking at the new Explorer when it came out. You can’t fix Ford’s structural quality problem at the flick of a switch.
Remove the free mat? the hard plastic sides are in the ford and jeep in the video in the rear.... and you didn't look at the rear storage of the bronco..... terrible comparison.
Even though the Bronco has the better looking interior, but the Wrangler is still the best vehicle of its kind, unless there's a G Wagen in the conversation.
Tldr- Two men compare drastically different vehicles with opinions instead of facts. It is also obvious that one guy has never driven a vehicle offroad or done any of his own work. (Who tf complains about a real parking brake and t case?!?)
No mention of the current available accessories for the bronco. Or real pricing. The jeep aftermarket is crazy. It’s literally a lego vehicle. You can do what ever you want. How’s the highway cruising comparison. Nvh, power, torture, mileage, comfort, death wobble chances lol.
POV: the boss says you NEED to make a video, but you have no outline, no end goal, and Jeep wants the 4xe back today.
Yeah a foot and a half wide permanent structural cross member vs a 3 inch wide optional, and easily removable cross bar. Not really a wash.
I'm laughing at the complaint of the screen size. Like really?
Todd from Gold Rush does car reviews?
I would rather see a real-world test like backing in a parking spot, circling the parking lot for the perfect spot, and filling up your trunk with your latest Costco haul.

@Toasty 4xe is a joke, even if you compared a price equal rubicon to a Sasquatch the rubicon would still have more flex and be better off-road

If you want a review of the new Bronco & Wrangler comparison by two wanna be off road guy's that like going 80 mph in their "Off-Road" rig, this is for you.
"Which is BETTER" Using "Best" is a comparison of more than two things.
Toyota Celica anytime - Scotty K.
“Motor” Trend and they didn’t talk about the motor…or the transmission, suspension, off road tech…c’mon man. Obviously a couple Jeep fan boys, but I get that…I am one too but you gotta give Ford a little more credit here.
Failed to mention the Bronco can option a bigger screen and wireless CarPlay, wash out floors and marine grade vinyl, 360° camera, the tailgate opens further…but don’t worry you have 6 tie downs (which they covered twice).
Oh so you have a spot to put the botls for the doors with the jeep but you dont have a place for the doors ? Lmao and the side panels in the cargo area oh the bronco has hard plastic move over to the jeep same plastic lol the way these guys drool over the jeep leads me to believe this is a biased opnion
Because keep your doors at home or for offroad you should have the protection from a door, boom, a half door
This was a pretty big waste of our time and yours.
Jeep 🔥
Should've compare both top of the line models; Jeep Rubicon 4xe vs Bronco Sasquash edition.
If you want a faster Jeep than the Bronco get the 4xe. If you want a more capable Jeep get an Extreme Recon JL.
@@fasteddie5174 And if you want the best combination of capability and value instead of spending $60k, get a Base Bronco with Sasquatch.
You better throw the word Badlands in there because you can get the Sasquatch with the Basic Bronco, which has very little. Also, why would you compare a vehicle with electric with one with no electric? It won't be long before the Bronco comes out with an electric Hybrid.
@@TubeRLH do you work for Ford?? LOL
@@rediron44, No, but I will stand behind them when someone bashes them unjustly, just as I would when uninformed people bash other car makers. I know very little about the Toyota 4Runner and I don't bash the vehicle, only some of the people who drive them. So stay in your car and you won't get run over.😏
I had no idea the Bronco was such garbage.
You don t buy a wrangler to put your Phone in it... Ciao 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Bronco is nice but I’m not parting with my JL Rubicon for it.
I test drove one to see if I wanted it and the build quality and material were worse than my 2013 jku so i just can't buy a bronco because of that
@@landon5990 I feel the same after viewing a demo model. Interior is no where near the quality of my JL. Typical cheap Ford plastic everywhere.
I don't care about the cheap plastic
The design look a lot better on the bronco....
But ifs very capable in trail
Look Loren Haely doing the rubicon trail
Can't not beat sasquash for 5k 35 inch tire and lock dif front and back and 4.7 dif gear ratio
Never beem a fan of chrysler product....
I bought durango 20 year ago.... the worst vehicle i ever bought i decide to never buy chrysler product after that....
Bronco vs jeep
Search Loren Healy rubicon trail
If the bronco can't do that trail easy....
I test bronco in moab trail Dome Plateau...
I wss convice the bronco way better then jeep ....
Wrangler is been around so long that's why it's better I do like the faced that the bronco is around now but it will take them years to work out all the tweaks that need to be done
The bronco has been around since 1966, the wrangler started in 1986.
@@rossvanluven6533 chevy blazer been around since 1969, clearly the 2022 is just as capable
Jeep!!
The wrangler is better for hitting the trails, the bronco is better for hitting the mall.
A small media screen is not that great if trail driving at night. Less light inside, better visibility outside.
The 12" screen on the Ford Bronco dim to zero light as also functional on road trips at night to improve natural night vision.
Ummm you should’ve used a Sasquatch package equipped Bronco. And talked about the differential locks on both. On the Bronco you can use the front locker and rear locker on they fly anytime you want. Unlike the Jeep. And then theres the awesome disconnect-able swaybar
Thats more of a gimmick, I'd say the turn assist on the Ford is superb given how wide it is compared to the wrangler.
They both have the disconnect. The on obstacle disconnect is a party trick at best. I never had any issue disconnecting the jeep. If you wait till you are on an obstacle you are doing it wrong.
I've NEVER used my front locker without the rear locker. And I always disconnect my swaybar before coming to an obstacle. Both of your arguments are just fallacies created by the Ford Marketing department that aren't really an issue to begin with.
@@stinggreyjlr9535 Yeah, with the front locked it is really hard to turn. My samurai was set up to do it but I would never used it once. Nice thing about the jeep is you lock both with one switch. Funny thing that people are impressed with is how fast the Bronco lockers engage, no blinking light. Well they are the same lockers so I think Ford just did not include an indicator to test if it is truly locked or not.
@@RickStefani Yup, I would imagine they are using the same electric locker as the Wrangler since I believe the differentials are the same between the two. Just fooling people that it locks instantly haha.
Bearded, beer bellied gurus… you guys need to get in shape!
Solid front axle vs independent? The Wrangler platform is probably a lot more modifiable than the Bronco, and not just because of the quantity of parts already available. For some reason the Wrangler just seems to have a more robust suspension than the Bronco, but what do I know? All I have is a Vette and a 79 CJ5 lol
Why didn’t use the sasquatch
Why jeep wins
Mopar performance offers dana 60 crate axles, crate hemi v8s and lift kits and other hardware straight from the factory so you can build an offroad beast if you like
Neither will leave pavement with the 1st owner/10 years, which is why there is zero talk about suspension, drive train or power plant.
What I like best about your video was that you guys basically were just having a convo about the cars pros and cons, basically making the video more engaging rather than just listing stuff off. I feel I learn and interpret things a lot better when done in this type of format.
The key significance of this video is that Motor Trend is the first mainstream publication that dares to say what many sort of knew, but every other media outlet has been scared to say publicly: as good as Bronco is, it is NOT a better off-road vehicle than Wrangler.
Now watch a bunch of others media outlets do the same and start to state the obvious.
I feel similar. The Bronco has so many quality issues and the interior looks so cheap. The lack of a usable tach gauge is absurd too. I just can’t believe a brand new design resulted in such a basic/cheap looking plastic interior. It looks like an suv with a bare bones interior that happens to include a large screen.
It’s also a bit bloated and much heavier than the wrangler. I don’t see these being as well engineered and the reviewers were right, the Bronco makes the wrangler interior look luxurious. I’ve driven a Bronco and a wrangler same day and the wrangler just felt so much more fun and appealing to me.
Well you can likely buy a wrangler. And Ford tech is both exciting and terrifying. I had 13 recalls on my 2018 F150. I’m loving my 4xe so far. Bronco maybe in two years or so, after Ford improves the reliability that I suspect is not good.
2 years jeep plans to refresh the wrangler so differently wait for that
@@landon5990 lol but that’s speculation. Not that it’s wrong, but knowing Jeep it could be 5 plus years
@@landon5990 Jeep typically redesigns the Wrangler every 10 years. However, they do make some changes throughout those years. Using the JK as an example, the interior was updated in 2011 and the Pentastar V6 was introduced in 2012.
So, given the history of the JK, I could imagine that Jeep would end up changing some things with the JL in the future.
Outer Banks VS Rubicon!?! Get at least the Badlands....
The company that puts a Diesel in first wins. Both are TOO WIDE. The TJ was outstanding, probably the best Jeep ever. Straight 6, Manual Transmission, and modern as 1997-2006.
The Suzuki Jimny is what I’d love to see imported into the US.
For a daily driver bronco
For off roading wrangler
Use Bronco Badlands
I’m glad Ford brought the Bronco back. Unfortunately, Ford isn’t the same company as the one that built the last version of the Bronco. The materials, engineering and execution are lacking. This isn’t isolated to the Bronco, but it suffers from the same afflictions as most modern Fords. The recall rate for Fords has increased by seven since 2000. Not a good trend.
The gas powered Wrangler is probably the best choice here.
Lol so much criticism for all the reasons I want the bronco over the jeep
If you spend more time on roads unless you want to feel you are always correcting the steering, tiring on a long journey the Bronco with IRS front suspension makes it a better vehicle.
The first shot is perfect to show IFSbvs solid axle. I'd still rather have IFS for all but the toughest trails.. and especially the street!
This is a stupid comparison. ‘Hundreds’ of continuous years of Jeeps and now KIA designs a recently new Bronco.
Great video !!!! Both vehicles are top performers!!!!
Used the trail sights on the Bronco at the Off-Roadeo. I was amazed how useful they are. Our trail guide had us turn past a tree that I didn't think I could make at all. But you really can get close to those trail sights on the hood.
Bronco was to much hype and nickle/diming it. To many trims, which respectfully Jeep and all manufactures are doing lately (stop doing that).
Why do you need a 12" screen? Everyone already has a tablet which is more useful (unless you pay for wifi or enable hotspot-doable?).
Think both are solid, but right now Jeeps proven track record and huge aftermarket parts accessibility/affordability plus resale value is why I have 3 Jeeps
Was thinking the same but now hearing about Bronco’s poor build quality and major engine and transmission failures and recalls. Looking at Jeep until the next gen Bronco. Same quality concerns stopped me from looking at the new Explorer when it came out. You can’t fix Ford’s structural quality problem at the flick of a switch.
I'll always go for the Jeep no matter what, the exterior of it is just beautiful and unique. The bronco is kinda ugly to be honest.
Compare a JL and a Bronco with the soft tops. Ford made a huge mistake with the execution of the Bronco soft top. The rear access is awful!
Remove the free mat? the hard plastic sides are in the ford and jeep in the video in the rear.... and you didn't look at the rear storage of the bronco..... terrible comparison.
The bronco is nice but it is more like a tank, its way too big like an fj cruiser. Just my opinion though. I would prefer a 4runner or a wrangler.
Speak for yourself on screens. The giant tablet screens on vehicles today are ridiculous.
Even though the Bronco has the better looking interior, but the Wrangler is still the best vehicle of its kind, unless there's a G Wagen in the conversation.
Stock.. the bronco looks way cooler
They definitely was nic picking the Ford so obviously biased towards Jeep the bronco is better 🤔
Tldr- Two men compare drastically different vehicles with opinions instead of facts. It is also obvious that one guy has never driven a vehicle offroad or done any of his own work. (Who tf complains about a real parking brake and t case?!?)
What a biased review. Saying that the open roof is a wash because everyone uses roof rails anyway? Come on….
Next up on Motor Trend, we compare an F350 and a Mazda Miata.
Can you ask jonny to stop shouting all the time
They should have compared the jeep wrangle Rubicon vs Ford Bronco badlands.
Jeep also has a cooler in the back.
they getting into the price of bespoke land rover defender 90s lol....... yikes
No mention of the current available accessories for the bronco. Or real pricing. The jeep aftermarket is crazy. It’s literally a lego vehicle. You can do what ever you want. How’s the highway cruising comparison. Nvh, power, torture, mileage, comfort, death wobble chances lol.
