#Bronco #Wrangler #Jeep
I do believe that ford has put the pressure on jeep. Which can only mean a better product going forward.
That's absolutely right maybe the Wrangler will finally have long travel independent suspension on four wheels.
Should have done that first hill without the locker like the Wrangler...if you are going to compare 2 vehicles compare them in the same settings.
The laugh with the 392 said it all.
The best thing about bronco will keep jeep from price gouging everyone like they been doing for 20 plus years .
What I fail to understand is that a Power Wagon with the same powertrain starts at 65,000 Can$ and has dana 60s with lockers why is the Jeep over $100,000
You would have to have more money than sense to pay 100,000 grand for a keep that rides like crap on the road. Hell the Trx is cheaper and nicer
For a small segment of population that this is built for its not about the money. 70k or 100k isn’t a lot to them for a toy.
Also cars aren’t priced based on size. Wrangler 392 is way more popular than a power wagon so higher price makes sense. Way more people want the wrangler as a toy compared to power wagon and fca knows that so they price accordingly.
i don't think this comparison will matter once production exceeds 10000 units a year. jeep is only going to make so many 392. ford will eventual get there production numbers
Fellas, get you a base or low trim Bronco/Wrangler and live like a king.
You are right: spending $80,000 on an “off-road” vehicle that is going to get bashed up on the trail makes no sense.
If you are buying a vehicle to impress the neighbors, fine. But in that case who cares how it performs on the trail? If you want to go fast, there are much better, safer, alternatives out there.
When it comes to off-roading, less is usually more.
I got a base 2 door bronco no options except the Sasquatch package (2” lift, better gear ratio, lockers, 35’s) and for 40k out the door it’s fun as hell
Toyota Land Cruiser All The Way
love the demo of ford sway bar disconnect and the wheel is still off the ground
I love that that we see the wrangler struggle to flex on a dirt hill at 3:00
@@mattg8116 went through without lockers.
@@fireant1272 true, do you think the Bronco couldn't though? Seemed like he had to use the skinny pedal a bit to give some momentum. All is fair offroading though, I bet you could do the same with the Bronco
@@mattg8116 yes they are both capable vehicles. To me it seems like the wrangler is better off road (articulation solid axels and more agile) Bronco better on road (independent)
@@mattg8116 little traction is better than 0 traction
I want to see the V8 in the Gladiator Mojave
Great job boys, this was a very good quick comparison.
What no one seems to mention is the cabin size. Granted I'm 6'-4", but while my head hits the ceiling in a Jeep and my knees hit the dash (I'm not kidding) - they don't in the Bronco. The interior of the Bronco is way more spacious and comfortable. So not only does it ride nicer on road, it's far more comfortable on road...
Facts
That’s bc you’re buying a bigger vehicle. Anyhow, I’m 6’1’’ and the wrangler is fine for me. Not many people are as big as you. So I think the wrangler works for most.
@@damnjustassignmeone Most women. Kidding! Mostly. As in my area all I see is the stickers in the back that say "Silly boys, Jeeps are for girls". But I'm in the same boat as the OP. I'm 6'4 245lb, I liked my wrangler. But the space goes to the Bronco, my new Outer Banks Sasquatch 4dr fits me nicely!
@@ec3886 Well, only about 1% of American men are 6’4” or taller. So, while I’ll grant you that very tall guys may have issues with Wranglers, the vast majority of men won’t. That’s all I’m saying. If you need something bigger, a Bronco is a great option for sure.
@@damnjustassignmeone Not only that, but I got my Jeep (Gladiator Rubicon) for WAY less than I could a top-trim Bronco. And no waiting. ;-)
-- BR
Coming from a generation where V8s were the standard in off-road vehicles, I have always hated the Jeep Wrangler didn't come with option in my JKU. I wasn't going to invest in a swap and I know it is highly unlikely that Ford will ever put a V8 in the Bronco (even the Raptor), so I have turned my focus about off-road capability. Anything built right, will conquer just about anything you throw at it.
Just go take a look at LiteBrites channel and how impressive the Bronco did against a $100K built Jeep.
ua-cam.com/video/L7aaRpT4HVY/v-deo.html&ab_channel=LiteBrite
That Bronco is not stock either and is probably getting close to $80k itself. But yes it did do well.
Good comparison. For what each one cost, I have a place to live, a 4wd pickup, a 550 ft. bass pond, and a fleet of 3 and 4 wheelers to ride around my property. Who's having fun now? Enjoy your work guys.
Dang out here on the west coast, couldn’t even get a single wide on rented land for that.
I love the jeeps V-8 sound but I would still go with the bronco it’s such a phenomenal daily driver and plenty plenty of offered capability for a lot less money
@I QUIT YT The v8 Wranglers are not out yet?
@@garys2157 huh? They’ve been selling them for months now.
@@tedmontgomery5669 I didn't know that's why I had the "?", thanks.
Wranglers are actually cheaper price on all “equivalent” models.
Yep 2024
Most of the people commenting have never driven a new JL Wrangler or a new Bronco…
I've driven both, they both drove fine for me. I just hate the Jeep pricing and available equipment models. Value for money just isn't there for me, which sucks because I love jeeps. If jeep were to offer a lower trim model with a rear locker I'd be happy to buy one, but they don't.
@@williamreinhardt2774 I get it. I bought a 2Dr fully loaded Rubicon with the 3.6L E-torque and 8-speed. It’s seriously amazing. It’s quick and getting 21-22 mpg.
@@DUNEATV Woof, good way to spend some serious coin haha. I hope you enjoy it!
@@williamreinhardt2774 Yes, I got it in January with $5 grand off MSRP. Now it’s worth about $10 grand more than I paid! Crazy
@@DUNEATV That is crazy, but also awesome for you, congrats!
Truth be told, Jeep has no rivals 🤷🤷just saying. Good vid though. Also I've NEVER had any of those issues you make reference to the jeep with😅😅😂😂😂come on man.
Going with the IFS was a good decision by Ford. Making it a better driving experience on-road with 98% of the Wrangler's offroad capability makes it the better choice for me.
i think it was a cost saving with rangers shared platform was the driving decision
98% sound like a made up number to help ifs folks cope
98% lol what?
@@Ihateironyanddumbusernames definitely. Tacoma bros still trying. I was one
More like 75%. When you only get 3/4 of the wheels to put good pressure into the ground it’s not 98% 🤡
Lol $105,000. Could buy a new Trailboss with 6.2, ATV, boat, sled, and then you're enjoying all surfaces of offroad for less money
Omg I laughed when I saw a jeep costing over 100,000 dollars.
Like you said buy a pickup and a side by side or something because that jeep will be in the shop alot after a decade.
Yeah it's beyond ridiculous. Just get a base or low trim Bronco/Wrangler and live like a king. They both would have handled this trail with ease.
100k for a jeep?I paid the same for my house lol.Prices are getting ridiculous,the average person cannot afford these
You can lock the lockers in high in offroad+ mode in the 392 as well.
The Bronco is super capable off-road and combine that with its more refined on-road dynamics and you've got a winner. Putting the 6.4L in the Wrangler is hilarious but more speed is not at all what you want in a tall, narrow vehicle with front and rear solid axles, recirculating-ball steering and all-terrain tires.
So a big motor to you means “more speed”? This is a jeep not a sports car lol. The 6.4L was never intended to add speed.
@@hayden8693 Ummmm no a hemi is fast no matter how you choose to tune it. The only difference is how fast. The word fast and hemi is never removed from one another. A hemi in a wrangler is freakin stupid, you don't need a hemi if you want more torque.
@@BasedGhoul the hemi has offroad purposes for the people who actually buy a Jeep to use it like a Jeep. 99% of people will use it to get speeding tickets on the way to the grocery store.
@@hayden8693 They say the torque is nice, learning how to use it would be a necessity, so you don't put yourself in bad situations, and another necessity would be to bring extra gas cans.
The fact that you think a v-8 in a wrangler is for “Speed” is very telling about how much you wheel. The bronco is literally built for people like you who don’t off road but want to seem like you do. 😂
I hope we are going to see a Maverick video soon
Cheers
if your really going to be honest, these two vehicles are heavily biased for OFF road and if your not interested in best off road capability you wouldn't buy either. There are tons of on road SUVs available from both manufacturers, including better versions of Bronco and Wrangler, that are far superior for on road use. So the only reason to buy one of these is for best off road use and the Wrangler wins hands down.
Too bad the wrangler is so terrible on road that I won’t be keeping mine long enough to know it’s off road capability.
@@boughtandpaidforautoreview1150 why would you buy one and never go off road? Your picture is a tundra that rides just as awful as my gladiator with none of the capability
Oh please.....most people who own Jeeps hardly see dirt let alone serious off road.
Same will be said for new Bronco owners.
Most are after the look....or to make a statement but most will never use the ability.
But who would really pay 100,000 dollars for a jeep the most unreliable vehicle.
Let’s be honest if you wanted a real off-roader buy a razor or x3.
Disconnects swaybar in the air.......drops 2 inches tire still in the air. Making a feature out to be the second coming when it does absolutely nothing is disingenuous. The BLD system in the Jeep is far superior than the Bronco. The Bronco CANNOT function in off camber situations without lockers. For whatever reason Ford needs to make software changes to its traction control because it acts like an open diff as soon as a wheel leaves the ground. If you are wheeling you are airing down and disconnecting the sway bar before entering the trail. Wrangler still more capable than the Bronco.
Most people who buy those "offroad" equipped Wranglers never leave pavement, just like every other "offroad" vehicle, most people actually never use them for anything other than a hey look at me I wanna be cool status symbol...sadly that's what most truck buyers have done as well.
I wouldn't buy a Bronco or a Wrangler, neither of them are suited for highway driving for long periods of time when they're configured for offroad use....a base model Wrangler still sucks on the highway but not quite as bad when kept in stock form, but still not high speed or wind friendly...neither is the Bronco...they put wheels on a box high speed driving isn't gonna go too well and combine it with a cross wind and you'll be fighting it all the way, you'll be worn out from just driving a few hundred miles in either.
Like saying a jeep better than a razor 😂
@@wildbill23c actually after test driving the Bronco on the highway the lane keep assist cruise control works quite well for crosswinds as far as keeping driver fatigue pretty low. Obviously still not as good as a dedicated aerodynamic vehicle made for the highway but it's a good compromise for having a vehicle which is why you buy this type of vehicle off-road, but having better driving Dynamics is a plus always.
@@MrFordguy73 That's good to know, I have wondered how the system reacts to cross winds, and passing semi-trucks. Does the system work in bad weather like rain and snow?
Bronco WINS‼️
As nice as the Hemi is, I’m not sure it’s worth $20,000 more then the Bronco.
Apples to oranges this video compares
@Rick people like you believe anything they read lol
@Rick Stelantis and VAG are not the same only thing they have in common are they are European.
@Rick I don't know where your getting your facts from, but no there are not the same company!
Chrysler put a 6.4 in the Wrangler because they dont have a v6 that can compete🤣🤣if the pentashit wasnt such a turd...that 6.4 would've never been thought of🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
I always watch your videos. I usually trust your recommendations but not sure what to make of this one. You recommend a Bronco which, for all intents and purposes is impossible to get and, if you do, you have to deal with endless production issues, insane dealer markups and play all sorts of games.
There are starting to appear dozens of photos online of Broncos with broken front ends. Apparently that IFS cannot withstand many modifications. Considering that not many Broncos have been delivered, this is concerning.
No thanks. I’ll take the Jeep. It might not be the flavor of the week, but it gets the job done, does it well and is proven.
Time will tell with the Bronco - you're right. As for us - we can only offer a opinion based on a short drive - not very scientific but its all we were allowed.
I still don't understand why you always say that the Wrangler wanders on the road. I drive one and don't find that they require any more input than other vehicles.
I think Stephen giggling with all the power in the Jeep said it all. That thing sounds bad *ss coming through the woods. Both seem like great choices though. Again we the consumers win with more great vehicles to pick from.
So Jeep has built the “ultimate off-roader” for the better part of a century. Now Ford after studying had built one to compete. Only took multiple decades… you can argue with me. The wrangler wins because it been mostly unchanged for nearly 30 years
That's the problem. It's too unchanged. They didn't update and improve it because they didn't have to. They could have done many things to make it better than it is now.
You want a on road vehicle that you can drive off road? Get a bronco
You want a off road vehicle that you can drive on road? Get the wrangler
When talking about the compromise between SFA and IFS why does everyone equate off-roading with flexed out rock crawling, and assume IFS is only better for on road ride? What happened to highspeed stuff? The Bronco absolutely has some benefits off-road.
Does the Sasquatch package use break based AWD for modes, or it's only using lockers and AWD features are on lower models like Wrangler? I thought Bronco packed both awd and 4x4 in higher trims
Every time I see the Bronco's swaybar used in a video, it never makes all for wheels touch the ground.
Still Jeep. Always Jeep.
I'm a Ford guy, sort of. I can honestly say, I wouldn't buy either a Jeep or a Bronco. If I was looking for offroad prowess.
@@TheBeatenPaths the only vehicle that is street legal that can outwheel a wrangler is a side by side. When it comes to normal production vehicles Jeep Wrangler is number one.
@@SanctumOfDreams Lol. Chrysler marketing dept. brainwashed you.
The price alone would lead me to buy the Bronco. V-8 power is not that important to most people who want off-road capability, and the Bronco sure delivers.
Ordered my 2022 Bronco earlier this week. Can’t wait for it to go into production. Pretty much identical config to the one tested here except in white.
You might get it in 2025. Fingers crossed for you
I ordered mine august 5 and being built on dec 6 won’t be that long.
@@adamriner213 4 door soft top?
That bronco sucks!
wrangler 392 all the way.
$105 thousand dollars Canadian will take about 20 years to pay it off🥴plus 10% luxury tax coming soon (2022) and 13% hst on top to add a grand total of$130515.00 😧😧🤑🤑
Finally someone is making sense. 🇨🇦
Great video! But you can initiate the rear locker in four high if you hit the OFFROAD+ button.
Great video. Unfortunately, the Bronco is nearly impossible to get for many long time reservation holders. Ford's dealer allocation formula for 2022 prioritizes large volume dealers over customer reservations. Ford has all but abandoned their commitment to deliver reservations before dealer stock. For customers that reserved at smaller dealers who have fully embraced the Bronco, it will take years for them to get a delivery.
Did you paste and copy this on every Off Road video on UA-cam….for the love god man just let it go‼️
@@mannbates2677 lol noticed that too
@@bryanbaldassarri3248 Slow day at the office and not everyone knows about this issue.
Wow, I'm 6'4". I fit great in a Wrangler. Sat in a Bronco at a dealership. Couldn't drive it though. I just love the Jeep. Bronco looks awesome.
I bought a two-door Big Bend with Sasquatch and the V6 that was my choice
Cant get a Ford and if you do,they will recall it !!
The 4x4 non pickup options in the states have really gone to shit. There are many great little 4x4 vehicles in other countries for much less money. It sucks we are stuck with the hilariously overpriced 4runner, the unreliable wrangler, and a bronco that will probably be just as bad.
Please tell me who waits until they are on an obstacle to disconnect the sway bar. People if you have never been off road hit the button at the start of the trail or get rock jock and never worry about it again 😁
The bronco is a great road vehical. Were most will stay. But if you really want to do offroading.....get a Rubicon!
There’s a reason Ford stopped making the Bronco for decades … it wasn’t that great to start with … and now every hardtop has to be replaced … Jeep is proven time and time again
Ford is not the one that makes those hard tops
It's not that the bronco wasn't good. It was just that people really wanted 4 doors nobody wanted anything 2 door anymore. Which is why they started making the expedition
@@tammieandrzejczuk2573 but Ford approved of them being put on the Bronco ... Ford had the overall authority
@@bigseff23 if that was the only reason, they would have redesigned the Bronco and kept the Bronco name ... they've done that to the Mustang for over 50 years ... they wouldn't have dropped the Bronco name completely ... it wasn't that great to begin with
Vehicle capability wise you guys hit the nail on the head. The interior is still up for debate. IMO the Wrangler interior just sort of works. No major interior issues. The Bronco on the other hand is a huge let down. The materials used are not as good, things wobble and move about, the roof is recall-able because it doesn't seal, just a whole mess of quality issues. For my money I'd still get a Wrangler simply due to the aftermarket support and the time on the market to get the quirks worked out. That may change in a year or two, but for now the Bronco is just too new and unsorted.
Probably the most level headed comment
jeep needs a better seat. and would love them to move the sport bar back a foot.
@@jeffforbes70 God that's the truth the seats are so awful. Feels like my legs are tilting downward while sitting extremely flat.
80k for a wrangler. Think about that.
Jeep wins I can get one today. Not in a year or two.
I believe the Bronco is a very capable vehicle. My concern is there is a buttnfor this and a button for that. I like manual levers etc. The electronic equipment tends to break more often and can’t be trail fixed like a manual connection.
Not really.
Mo electronics mo problems.
I live in a very high cost of living state, and surprisingly, I have not yet seen the off-road (top of the line) version of the Bronco on the road. I did see what I guess is the base model, and it looked very cheap. I have no doubt of the off-road chops of the top of the line model, however, I do not trust the quality of American nameplate vehicles, and damn sure not at $60, $70, and $80,000. 'Back in the day', 48 month auto loans were the norm. Now, I see advertisements for 84 month auto loans. I wonder what percentage of owners are able to afford these vehicles within 4 years or less?
That 392 Rubicon does sound great!
Before the Bronco came out, I was excited for it. Now its here and after driving the two, I still prefer the wrangler , especially the 392. It just feels "right". There are a lot of choices if you want an "off roaders" with IFS, but there is only one wrangler. Also in my opinion, , it's more "fun" to drive. It makes me feel better.
Unapologetically Bronco
Might be time to apologize.
Im a Jeep guy.. Hemi always wins.
The Jeep made you giggle. The Bronco did not. Jeep.
100k for a Jeep😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Only Ford.... Love U Bronco....
I think your evaluation is spot on. It's a tough call and it all comes down to the things that separate them. One has to be real sensitive to their needs and use case. Thanks guys. A big thumbs up.
wrangler's better articulation is because of the solid front axle
Yes, but most people never actually leave pavement in their offroad toys, so most will never have any sort of a clue what having solid axles does for a vehicle's offroad capability.
@@wildbill23c very true! I just said the better articulation is the result of the Solid front axle. I know most people rather have the on-road comfort rather than having a slightly better off-road car.
You can also access the rear locker in the Bronco while in 2 HI
I think you can do so in the Wrangler as well if I'm not mistaken.
@@wildbill23c it would makes sense
Taser JL MINI allows you to lock the rear locker in 2wd.. allows you lock the lockers in 4Wd high
The articulation is way better in the jeep and will always be better offroad then the ford. Also looks like it's better at navigating trails. Jeep for the win as I see it.
I like that my ARB Locker in my 4Runner, can lock in whatever mode I want, on the fly.
I will stick with my Lincoln MKX.
The Ford bronco has a Toyota FJ shape and Suzuki shape grille.......such a lie to tlk about it and say it a badlands. Say it's a Baja......🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can you compare the Hummer Ev and the Cybertruck once they come out?? Maybe throw the Rivian in there??
If the Lada 4x4 and the Suziki Jimny came to Canada and the USA, Jeep would be on fuckin suicide watch. Ford, Suziki and humble little Lada all make a better off road vehicle than Jeep, Suzuki and Lada being better due to being several orders of magnitude cheaper. You can buy 5 Lada 4x4's brand new for the price of a single Jeep Wrangler. Or you can just buy one and dump $20,000 into it and have it be $10k cheaper than a stock Jeep Wrangler.
RAM/JEEP makeup for product deficiencies by " put a bigger V8 in it"... I dont think you need a 392 when you are crawling up a trail...
I'm just waiting for the first Bronco-Wrangler Head on Crash, I imagine the Wrangler would drive right through it. The Wrangler has an Uber low fatality rate according to the IIHS Data making it one of the safest vehicles on the road. I would take the Jeep all day long, nothing against the Ford, it's just a regular Small SUV modified slightly more for off roading, plus the interior on the Bronco looks very low quality like you would expect to find in a Corolla.
i’m heading back to the states in about a month and a few days. And I need to get a vehicle. I’m considering the 392 XR and the bronco raptor. I like both off road capabilities. I'm starting to realize the 4.5 sec 0-60 and the sound of the v8 doesn't really interest me. I think I'm leaning towards the Bronco for the technology and comfort. If I have to get the 392 XR with the one touch roof, I could live with that choice too.
If I'm trying to get up Mt Randolph in Montana in the winter with snow and ice... I'll take the Bronco.., because there's nothing fun about a V8 when your stuck.
My Ranger FX4 travels 100 times better in snow than and Jeep ever did ,,, hint hint (the Bronco is on a Ranger frame)
I really hate these comparisons as they are hardly even offroad. It would be nice to see a real world comparison, with mud, rocks, and hard trails. Half of that trail you could have done with almost any truck or SUV. It is kind of like saying it is great at off roading while driving though my front yard. Personally I really wish they would bring back the big Bronco, but it would probly be $100,000 and then I wouldn't be able to afford it.
How about a new bronco with a 5.0? 😁
How they should have been built in the first place...no Bronco should ever come with a rice burner engine.
@@wildbill23c true and agree, but ford is using these turbo 6’s in everything now. And a lot of other companies are doing the same, even the new tundra. It’s a sad day because I’m afraid the death of the v-8 is coming 😢
@@wethepeople1776x The death of gas/diesel vehicles period is coming LOL. I'd love to see them do a diesel/hybrid pickup...but even now they've destroyed the diesels with all the emissions garbage on them as well. Yep, the new Tundra is only a twin turbo 3.5L V6 now, and the only engine option...unlike Ford, GM, and Fiat/Chrysler or whatever they wish to be called now at least still gives you the option of a V8 in their 1/2 ton pickups. Some even offer a diesel option as well for those that want to go that route.
@@wildbill23c I don’t think that gas and diesel will complete die. Yes, the market is pushing towards electric but honestly I don’t think we currently have the needed infrastructure to support it. Plus the cost, resources, power density, and the range of travel with electric vehicles versus the gasoline/diesel engines is completely in favor of the combustion engine. Yes, maybe in the metropolitan areas; but not for long travel, fleet vehicles, or countries without our type of resources. I’m not saying that one day in the distant future we won’t have a fully electric world (or some other type of propulsion) but not in my lifetime.
However, the old combustion engine will keep ticking and they will keep improving it. Like I heard the other week that Mercedes (or Mazda?) is working on a new valve system that will improve horse power and efficiency by 30-40% by using electrically controlled valves similar to our current fuel injection systems. This would eliminate a timing chain/belt and overhead cam lopes. But the death of the old V8 is on its way, definitely 😞
@@wethepeople1776x Yikes I can only imagine the issues those electric valves will have in the first few years...I'm sure they'll get the bugs worked out but I don't think I'd buy one of those vehicles for a few years LOL. Probably would become even more efficient too being able to precisely time those valves opening and closing more accurately, and less wear on the engine and no more broken timing belts, stretched timing chains, broken chain guides, etc.
At 7:20 you say that you cannot lock up the rear except in 4-lo. That's not true in 2021+ rubicons. In off-road+ mode, you can lock up the rear after you've turned off stability control.
I don't know how you can listen to that weak a$$ turbo next to the massive hemi and then ... pick the turbo?? Dunno man, guys are losing site of what makes a fun vehicle these days. Nobody cross shopping a jeep is too worried about on road, as long as it gets you there and back. Also remember the absolutely massive amount of accessories and bolt on's for the jeep, if you want to make a hard core off roader you only have one real choice, Jeep. That IFS is a deal breaker, the turbo is a let down, and the exterior looks like something from a barbie set (which, given the engine it has, sort of fits the theme there.)
I'll take a Wrangler in a two door with the 392 and a manual transmission. Oh wait, they aren't available like that. OK, I'll take a Bronco in a two door with the V-6 and a manual transmission. Oh wait, they aren't available like that either.
In our part (rest of the world) we consider locking is cheating, but in the west not locking differential is considered cheating🤣😃. We off road in a manual trans with no crawl control, no lockers, no multi-terrain select, no oversized tyres, no re-gearing.
$80,000 USD for apples and $58,500 USD for oranges? Didn't even watch the video....
No choice JEEP 392!!
Yeah... It's gonna be over 20,000 lbs of wheel torque. .about 5 times the wheel torque lots of cars have in first gear lol....
You always want what you can't get. If it was my money I'd buy the wrangler diesel with the 35 Xtreme recon package. But alias you can't.
Probably cheaper to just buy a 2008 JK and do an LS swap and you have basically the same thing for 1/3 of the price.
Give me the Wrangler everyday ! Ford gave a valiant effort with the Bronco but I see a lot of compromises in its design and it shows with production issues and supplier issues. It is the new kid on the block, I love the design of the Bronco they nailed that part but when you start really digging into it the shortcuts that just kills it for me. I know the Wrangler has its downfalls as well. One thing no one mentions about the Bronco is Ford had to remove the lower crash bars to get the Sasquatch Package to fit the 35's that to me is shows how rushed the Bronco production was, to blatantly remove a safety item to fit a set of Tires. Ford had damn near 14 years to perfect the Bronco. Yes 14 years from the 04 Bronco Concept was shown to 2021 when the production model hit the dealers lots.
The crash bar is a dumb idea anyways. It just sounds like a good idea fairy thing. Besides, ain’t that what a steel bumper is for (especially the aftermarket thicker ones)? IMO.
@@jeremy8715 No the crash bar keeps the front wheel from intruding into the passenger compartment in a frontal collision. !!! Thicker Bumpers can cause issues as well.
@@jeremy8715 You don't know what you are talking about buddy
That ain't cutting corners bro, also those removed bars aren't that big. they are literally a bar of snickers worth of material removed, you have a whole steel bumper in front and you even you even defended the Bronco after saying the steel bar helps with that exact issue. Supplier issues and production issues is no fault of Ford and the Bronco when literally EVERYONE is having the same exact issues bro, who the heck comes to such a conclusion so badly atm. Jeep has had this vehicle in production for more than 20 years yet haven't changed much until now, which they simply dropped a bigger engine in it not really improving it's overall performance for what it is, just because the Bronco came out, that says a lot to me.
When I think about a vehicle I will take off road. I think about what can go wrong and how easily can I fix it. I am not a fan of a lot of electronic niceties off-road, I would much rather just have simplicity. As far as on road that is a different story.
If the 392 could be had in a 2-door with a manual, I’d live in a tent to own it. Because that’s not an option, I’m getting a manual 2-door Bronco.
keep the Ford I'll take Jeep anytime any day and everyday,Ford will never be a Jeep. It's a Jeep thing.Ford is a shoe box with wheels it's one ugly vehicle.
I drove a Bronco recently, on road and it drove really nice for the size of it. But your dad is right, if you want FUN, get a Hemi. I'm not a Chrysler fan but they sure do love BIG engines.
Yep. I’d take the jeep simply for the engine…those Jeep’s will be worth something one day…especially since all the automakers are trying to go to electric….wish I could afford one
@@semiauto3148 The hybrid Wrangler is supposed to be nice, except gets a bit heavier.
@@garys2157 yeah. Im sure it’s nice. But that big engine is the one for me
They make good engines, if only I could say the same about their transmissions, good thing they slid German transmissions in most of their cars
Pimped out badlands 58k pimped out v8 jeep 75k or so. I'll take the badlands for the price.
To be able to put a Shelby GT 500 v8 in a bronco that would be some awesome 😎 👏🏿 fun for sure
So Jeep threw a 392 in it jacked the price up 25k. Still the same thing just a big motor. Our 18 rubicon is beautiful but floats around more than a 70s caddy. The electronics are a constant issue. I’m trying everything I can to get her to trade out of it. The wrangler might be a little better off road but the bronco will conquer 98% of what wrangler will. I just love the look at coolness factor of the Jeep but it ends there. It’s on road prowess is terrible load and on longer than a 45 minute drive just becomes not fun. Just my opinion. Give me the bronco
Yep jeeps never were much for reliability....and I got that from jeep owners.
Wrangler is not better off road that is just a myth.
I can’t comment on performance on either since I drove neither, but wow as far as appearance goes that Bronco just blows Jeep out the door.
YOLO. V8 Jeep if you can afford it. These vehicles are all about fun, not practicality.
Ford too much electric,if it doesn't break or no glitches, stay with the jeep, Eck usmc
Here’s how Ford should build Ranger Raptor or engine into Bronco
