I've had six Jeeps. The last two have been Rubicons. Currently have my 2015 Hard Rock. I think Ford has done a Fantastic job here with the Bronco. I have put down a deposit on pre order for the Bronco Badlands. Well Done !!
I'm also a Jeep guy but been waiting for this one cause I'm just a big offroading fan also. The bronco is beautiful and I like what I'm seeing so far but I'm curious about the turbo 2.3 and how that will affect torque that is needed immediately in offroad situations. Can't wait to see the side by side comparisons
@Lloyd Bonafide You're absolutley right. To say I've been Rubicon Loyal is an understatement. Jeep HAS to come out with a V8 to keep sales up, at a minimum. I wheel once every two months, but the street ride is subpar with the Solid front axle. Liveable for sure, but a nice ride would be a welcomed change. It would be nice to have a more compliant ride on the street.The JL is a pretty big step forward from the JK, but this new Bronco is beautiful and can still do the rock crawling. People are so worried about the IFS, I'm not. For the extreme Rock crawlers, you can always do a SAS swap.
@@1dumpedviper Fully built JK owner looking to upgrade and start building something newer. The wife will move into a Bronco, because I cant explain away how much better the options list and value is in the Bronco over the JL. Jeep has been the only game in town and the price to value just isn't there. For my own rig though, I just cant see going the IFS route. So literally for hardcore rock crawling, this is the only reason that I am staying with the Jeep. For 99% of the planet, this decision should be easy
CafeNightster that is what he is saying buy the wrangler 2022 they will have to step up quality at least 20% to even match the bronco or Jeep won’t survive
i agree i bought my JL in 2018 i love it but jeep got way too cocky without the competition im glad jeep has competition. i cant wait how the crazy guys at chrysler will think of next
I’ve had two Jeeps now. I’ve loved them both, and put them thru the wringer-and mechanically they’ve both done pretty good. But man, that Bronco looks nice. Hoping it starts a pricing war.
NOT REALLY IT'S GEARING. DON'T BELIEVE ME. LOOK UP HUMMER H1 VS SEMI TUG OF WAR. LOOK UP HUMMER H1 TUG OF WAR AN YOU'LL SEE. THAT 6.5 DEISAL PRETTY MUCH DIDN'T MAKE THAT MUCH POWER. CHECK IT OUT
@@Ihateironyanddumbusernames agreed. It looks like a Jeep and has alot of the same features as a jeep so one could argue that they basically copied jeep. The Bronco is beautiful and I'm sure will be stout offroad but a Jeep killer, as it's being touted, it is not. I see it as a comparable offroader just as the Tacoma TRD pro and the Colorado zr2 are. Those are amazing offroaders as well but def not Jeep killer's. A take on the 90's V8 Bronco would have really been the game changer here but they decided to go with a 4-banger turbo.
Because they were... FCA has basically admitted the JL was primarily a "styling uipdate" to attract a younger audience. Let's be honest, there haven't been any big innovations on the Wrangler in decades. Hopefully the Bronco will finally light a fire under FCA's behind, so they put some legitimate engineering into the next Wrangler update.
@@sooperknob Agreed, the JL is a JK with some fancy tech and rounder corners. And yeah there hasnt been big innovations on wrangler for a while but that's because they have spent the last half-century refining the best offroad design so that Ford can rip it off, lol. The JK has pretty much been perfected and every single issue with the JK has been ironed out with an upgraded part or workaround so I cant see a huge departure from the regular Jeep design. It looks like that fire under FCA has already been lit as theyre teasing the V8 Wrangler- this is truly game changing and will stomp the Bronco if FCA actually comes through on this. I realize my Jeep bias is showing but all that being said, I really like the Bronco's slick and stout design (even thought it looks like a Jeep), love the tech, love the GOAT modes, and really think ford hit the mark on the design and aesthetics.... shoulda put a V8 in it though.
Not a fan of turbo engines but Ford has a real winner here. Jeep would have to do a ground up redesign and I'm not sure Fiat is going to put that much capital into Jeep.
@@bluesfan6862 I would suggest checking out the Ecoboost Torture Test videos they did back when it launched. They did abuse an engine and then tore it down at a convention to see the wear of which there was very little if any at all. I've had a F150 with an ecoboost, I'm going to seriously be considering a Bronco next year.
@Andrew Sully Well what statistics are you using to prove ur point? The ecoboosts are extremely successful engines. I am a hardcore V8 fan but Consumer Reports,JD Power survey,and a whole lot of 3rd party reliability surveys are out there and most of em are free, just go and check em out before jumping into a conclusion. Infact the Ford 3.5l ecoboost has been rated more reliable than a GM 6.2l V8 by CR and JD too says the Fords ecoboost engine reliability has been above industry average and on par with NA motors . The best part is since Ford has pushed ecoboost engines so much unlike any other US automaker (Ford is the only US automaker who got balls to sell over 66% of their product line up with turbos, GM is 48% and FCA is 40%) the supply chain is extremely strong and parts have got extremely cheap over time. A full turbo assembly replacement for a 2013 Ford Fusion 2.0 turbo costs just 1 day job and under 2000 USD considering VW costs around 2800;GM around 2500.
1000% disagree with you. Jeeps reputation is 80 years built. My wife has a Rubicon and would trade me in before she'd give up her Wrangler. It's a Ford. It's not a Jeep. World wide ppl call SUV's JEEPs because Jeeps are the best. Good effort by Ford.. but I promise you that you'll see 100 Wranglers for every bronco you see. FCA builds 1200 Wranglers a day out of their Toledo Plant. There is NOTHING that comes on that Bronco that would make someone change from Jeep To Ford.. not happening. Rumors already coming out that Ford took the Bronco out to Moab and it broke down on Cliffhanger and SteelBender. So once those videos come out of the vehicle not being able to complete the courses in Moab, then it's game over.
I thought a 7 speed too until I saw what you loose with the manual. Smaller engine, no trail brake assist. Plus the one pedal driving and trail control make up for the automatics shortcomings.
Mark Perlman Say Bro always go with the 10 speed, cause Ford’s 10 speed is select shift, meaning you can change it to whatever speed you want it up to 10.
After some rumors I bought F stock at $4.21 a share. All smiles now and hoping it keeps going up. Might finance my Badlands with Sasquatch package with the profits! :)
I was going to get a gladiator for an offroad vehical but every dealer wants to upcharge an already expensive midsized truck. I guess Ill be getting a bronco base with the sasquatch package.
You don't know how to negotiate. The initial rush is over for the Gladiator. A smart consumer should be able to score one for at least 7 percent back of invoice.
Come over to Bronco if you sick and tire of Wrangler issues... should solved your problem rather than begging FCA to fix it which they usually ignore you. Lol. Now you have options.. I mean better one.
Mike East I’ve had several problems with my 3 wrangler including a transmission with my 07. The wrangler has been on consumer reports (top 3 least reliable automobiles) that past 3 years that I have subscribed to it. I’m currently in a legal battle with the FCA over my 8 month old 2019 Wrangler. It’s been in the shop 8 times for the same electrical issue and they still haven’t been able to fix the problem. My current wrangler is a severe example and clearly a lemon and every manufacturer has bad apples. What really bothers me is I have purchased 3 new wranglers since 2000 ie a loyal customer. The FCA refuses to take the wrangler back under the lemon law even though it’s clearly the situation. My local dealer has even been confused WHY the FCA is fighting this. My local dealer knows they have lost my business over this and it’s unfortunate because they did nothing wrong. I hope you continue to have good success with your wrangler.
The Bronco looks impressive visually and on paper with some clever ideas...but we need to see it do the Rubicon trail to see if its all looks and paper stats and nothing more. I will be watching for the head to head with the undisputed off road king Jeep Rubicon.
InuranusBrokoff they leaked press photos of the 2021 F150 ahead of the reveal after Ford told them not to. They no longer get to cover press events (which means they can’t be first to release, hurting their clicks and views) and they no longer will get press vehicles from Ford.
@@InuranusBrokoff TFL published some photos (of the Bronco) they received from an anonymous source - turns out they had apparently been "stolen" by someone with access to Ford (employee?). Ford was not happy - apparently TFL (and others) had a signed agreement not to publish stuff like that.
As a wrangler jk owner, i would love to own a two doors bronco. Ford got this one right! Not that i would get rid of my jeep! I would just like to have one of each.😍👉🐎
Same here. Just bought a JL after years of wanting a Jeep Wrangler. I still think it's awesome, but Ford nailed this and every Bronco/square body/off road fan has to admit this is a bad ass move by Ford. Chevy BLEW IT with their Blazer. I have an 84 K5 in great shape, and if Chevy would have pulled this off like Ford I would have been all in with Chevy. Looks like Ford has changed my mind. I'll keep the Jeep and K5, but the Bronco is now on my radar.
I’ve always been a Ford fan, if that’s with their trucks or SUVS. I currently have a 2010 Ford Edge and a 2001 Ford F-150. I’ve always wanted a Jeep (not one of their newer ones because of just their look I guess) I like the simple early to mid 2000s look, but now with Ford, a technology system I’m used to, I can happily say I will one day be getting one of these bad boys. My dream Jeep was a matte black Rubicon, but now my dream vehicle is this fantastic looking bronco!
Not a true comparison until some real off-roaders get behind the wheel of this beast. Not that it really matters because 99.9% of the Bronco’s out in the wild will be crawling the mall parking lots 🤣🤣🤣
Yz th3ory pavement princesses! I guarantee it. When you get them out on a trail and the first time they have both wheels in the air because of the independent front suspension they will pee themselves and go home.
@@matthewdumas5342 Good point on holding value. My guess is that's related to the lack of alternatives for folks looking for an offroad vehicle. Ford just changed that dynamic.
@Papa John LOL. "The 2020 Jeep Wrangler is one of the most unreliable cars of 2020. The official consumer report shows that this Jeep is in the bottom three for least reliable cars of 2020. Though this may not stop anyone from buying one. Die-hard Jeep loyalists still love their Jeeps, in spite of these ratings.Apr 5, 2020 " The Jeep Wrangler is One of the Most Unreliable Cars of 2020
Corbin D. Wrong. Jeep sport doesn’t even come with damn skid plates. Listen I love jeep but they have abused their monopoly on doorless off road rigs. The base bronco with the Sasquatch is basically the equivalent of a rubicon. The BASE model.
They released the FJ at the worst time..... high gas prices and everyone buying crossovers. Now would be the time to release something to compete........but they won’t.
The biggest Mistake the Ford did was the independent front suspension!!!! The flexibility on the trail and the cost of repairs if damaged it is the achilles’ heel. They compare the 4 door wrangler because the 2door bronco can’t touch the 2 door Rubicon
You should wait to see once these broncos are out in abundance and see how many break or have reliability issues. Current Ford engineering says that they will spend more time in the shop than on the trails. At our shop Ford is the most troublesome vehicles out there no matter the model. Blue oval certified to cost you a ton in maintenance and trade back to a Jeep and lose your wallet in the process.
No reliability issues. 3.6 pentastar v6 is an amazing engine. ZF 8 speed transmission is also an amazing transmission. Keep spitting that bullshit though.
Ever since Chevy ruined the Blazer, I have been anxiously waiting for the Bronco! Had a jeep, but the Bronco looks better and specs make it more my kind of rig.
Absolutely love this all-new Bronco! Never have I seen a vehicle that was just universally accepted by nearly everyone and I am very impressed that Ford was able to keep that "retro" styling, yet incorporate so many modern amenities! Let's be real here, the Jeep is still the king and this vehicle has yet to prove it self, however, it does have a pretty good shot of dethroning the Wrangler JL. Furthermore, what I like so much about the Bronco is that it doesn't really look like a toy, it actually looks like something that is tough and rugged and I can't really say that about Jeep. Of course, the Jeep is a very capable vehicle, but I feel a bit feminine when I get in one. I feel like this is more to my taste! Furthmore, I feel like Jeep brought this on themself becuase they're were so many years that vehicle had absolutely no competition and I am very surprised that there were so few innovations to that vehicle when compared to the Bronco. When I look at the features on the new Bronco, they are setting a industry standard for what these vehicles should come with. Some of the features that I love are the rubber floors with a drain plug to hose out the interior, marine grade vinyl seating so you can actually get them wet, a first of its kind storage bin for the doors and a multi-piece hard top! (me and my girlfriend went to Puerto Rico for spring break and we rented a JL and you wouldn't believe how heavy that top is to take off and you literally cant store it anywhere...). It's nice to see that there are more options on the market now besides the Wrangler!

Just be aware that Ford has a serious flaw in their automatic transmissions. You can't push it from Drive into Neutral with an open palm in an emergency. Rather, you have to push the shift lockout button on console shifters, lift the column shifter up, in order to get the transmission from Drive into Neutral. But then, you risk putting it directly into Reverse. Jeeps or Rams or other FCA products do not have this problem. Agreed on the innovation by Ford for the new Bronco!
Throw 35s on the wrangler and everything will be the same. The numbers are so slightly different lol. It’s the same as if I compared a wrangler with 35s next to a wrangler with 30/31s (what they usually have). Jeep guys don’t stop at 35s usually though. 37 or bigger lol
Yeah she upgraded the Bronco to 35s but kept the Jeep at 33s for some reason. Even then, the Bronco with 35s BARELY best the Wrangler on 33s. That’s a win for Wrangler.
Um, the 3.0L Ecodiesel in the Wrangler is a better power plant in my opinion. Not to mention they will be adding the 6.4L Hemi as an option in the future (allegedly). That being said, this new Bronco is sick!
I will jump to the Bronco. The Bronco will maybe make Jeep to drop the price tag a little bit. Happy to see that Jeep will have serious competition now.
I’m a Jeepster, ....,but clearly, Jeep will have to return to the drawing board. if tomorrow I would have to buy another vehicle ... it would be a Bronco!
As much as I like the new 4 door Bronco, and I currently own an older Bronco, there's no 3rd row seat option in Bronco, which is offered in 4Runner. Could be a major oversight for Ford, because many families need that extra seating option at times.
Hooray! The true adventurer, Ms. Hall weighed in on the Bronco. Great to get an opinion from someone who actually goes trailing (like the TFL Team). This Bronco sounds great!
Ford did a Great job. But we all know FCA is not going to let the crown go that easy. I Love new tech and design as much as anyone else. Best believe FCA is doing something about this ... Great time to be Alive...
Logan King wish it was AT tires instead of MT but its whatev. May just get badlands since it has 33s AT and suspension already. Not much need to add sasquatch on badlands
@@TheMoistDonuts I live in WA and there are many open trails but the big sell is it's quick to turn for the dunes. Really want a truck for the dunes and can go out on the beaches of the coast and Puget Sound.
It’s here, it’s here! Albeit YEARS too late to the party. Just ordered a Jeep 2Dr Rubi. Why? Upgradability & it’s proven - two factors the Bronco won’t come close to matching for many years. Your “Specs Comparison” was really just a 33’s vs 35’s Ford love fest. It would’ve looked far different had you placed 35’s on the Rubi, something that can be done without a lift (or even more lopsided, gone with 37’s and the factory approved Mopar 2” lift). Who needs a Sasquatch? Lastly, wider and longer is not a plus for those who intend to use their new ride the way it was meant to be driven. See you on the trail?
@@powernap5187 You can reserve one at a dealer of your choice, but otherwise, no, they aren't. They aren't even starting production until around late 2020 early 2021 I suppose, so no, they aren't. Unless one has a prototype, and those ain't for sale.
That squach package is going to add a bit more of a price. Now get water in that turbo and see what happens. Now take away the squach and the size and numbers tumble alot less than 9" of clearance and much smaller tires so there is that. Torque is God if it is naturally aspirated. Turbos do not do well with water. And I have had my jeeps over the hood in water with a 5" lift. No real issue besides having to change the air filter. You take water into the intake turbos and that thing just got real pricey. And the risk of a hydrolock aswell. If it has exhaust turbos then fine whatever. But not everyone pulls a tape measure out before hoping into the water hole. You might need to with the bronco.
Rubicon stock tires are only 32.8". if you put 35" tires o Rubicon, they will change the angles for better . It would be more like apples to apples. For example, the ground clearance of Rubicon will change from 10.8" to 11.9" etc.
I work for Jeep, and all I can say is that I'm glad I'll never have a lack of work thanks to Jeep recalls, because Ford is about to eat the Wrangler's lunch.
@@TdotSoul I don't doubt it tbh. I don't know what Ford looks like with recalls, but I can tell you that Jeep has a lot of them. Multiple recalls in some cases for single vehicles, some of which have no solution yet.
I have a 2020 4 door Rubicon and the new Bronco is sharp looking. I’ll keep my Rubicon though. I can disassemble the entire truck with 3 torque bits and the modification options are limitless.
I've just put down my reservation deposit on a Wildtrak 4 door edition... here's hoping there are some good overlanding and offroad accessories ready for this thing once we get delivery here in Canada! Time to part ways with the Jeep Wrangler!
With 25 years in the towing industry it is my opinion that no one should ever buy first edition autos. If you decide to buy then good luck and happy wheeling.
2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited owner here. Built up with 35” wheels, 4.88 gears (6M) and AEV 3.5” lift. Also, it’s totally paid off. I loved everything about my Jeep until I saw the specs on the Bronco. I’m _very_ interested in the Bronco and may jump back in on a car note if the data translates to practical experiential differences.
For the hardcore off roader, it won't sway them to buy a Bronco. Jeep's got some heavy aftermarket support which gives it endless customizability. But for folks like me who just wants something that works and with most of the tricks already built in from the factory, this one's for me.
oh you know every lift kit and mod will be available for this bronco...but to be that already offroad ready sasquatch package thats offered on every platform is huge on fords part..
The fact that it can come straight from factory with 35s and suspension and such is great. Not to mention the fact it can go on any bronco trim. Ford really lit a fire under jeeps ass with this
I currently own my second Jeep Wrangler, and love it. I do like the new Bronco and the fact that it finally brings competition to the over priced Wranglers, but after seeing the Bronco close up, it reminds me too much of the Escape.
Look, there's a BIG difference between the Wrangler & the Bronco - Bronco's independent front suspension, yeah we agree. As this was just a "by the numbers" comparison, we felt that IFS was too subjective to include in the versus. But hey, what do YOU think? Did Ford cop-out or is solid-axle just goin out of style?? 😉
It's going to come down to use. Jeeps will still be better crawlers and the new Bronco will easily take the desert and possibly even overlanding based on some of the accessories that were seen in the reveal. I think the biggest response from Jeep will be on the Gladiator and its usefulness as an overlander.
Emmie, these VS videos are the best in the biz! Will you do a 2 door comparison and calculate the actual ground clearance at the mid point instead of the GC under the diff? Also can you find the weights and give a power to weight comparison? Thanks!
The bronco sounds like it puts more torque to the ground up until the IFS lifts a wheel and the lack of TWO tires pulling becomes apparent. Other than the lack of flex in the front suspension, they sound like they're on par with each other. The true test isn't on paper though; it's on the trail.
I am not knowledgeable about the turbos in these, but I'm most interested in power at idle, not peak output at redline. After all, no one is at 5000rpms while crawling. Turbos may be great for highways, but are they any good in these applications?
Low end torque just like a diesel. I have a fusion with 1.5 ecoboost. Going up a long hill on hiway at 60 mph never shifts out of overdrive. All the power is at low rpm.
you forgot the most important thing in offroading.... LOCKING DIFFERENTIALS ! The Rubicon has electric locking differentials front and rear, if the Bronco doesn't have that, then the Rubicon would stomp all over it when it comes to rock crawling and everything else....
You put an optional package in the bronco to make it look good in this comparison, you can also put mopar dealer installed lift kit and tires in the Jeep and smash all the numbers
Yeah, but all the goodies are 'stock' on the Bronco. No need to go aftermarket. Or you could just do the same and add mopar to the bronco and on and on...
The Bronco smashes the Jeep in every important category including styling, fit and finish, tech, and practicality. Ford will dominate the sector for years to come.
I am a Ford Guy, but competition in this sector is a good thing. 300k Units a year that Jeep has owned for a looooooong time in this segment. Its about time they are made a little uncomfortable.
It looks great. And they will carve out success, like the Toyota FJ did. That one was also supposed to dominate the sector too and beat the Wrangler. Jeep has something that is hard to understand and really doesn't make sense--brand loyality. So what keeps Jeep successful is the same thing that keeps H-D successful. It's hard to achieve that status, but hopefully their fate will be better than the FJ. These two could work to push each other so the customer gets the best vehicle possible, regardless of what they buy. Looking forward to seeing that.
@@TheColoradoHouseWrangler Actually it's the opposite for HD, because unlike Jeep their not attracting Millennials and My Generation(Z). Every biker I know my age as a Japanese Sports bike. But if anyone can challenge Jeep, it's Ford. They have the most popularity with Americans and of the big 3 they have the bigger foot hold in the foreign markets except for China. Probably why they built on the Rangers platform, because they can market and sell it overseas too.
Would like to drive both before committing. I would expect the Bronco to drive better with the independent front end, but the Jeep may be better off-road with the live axle. I will be a question of which is the better trade-off, but I like how modern yet retro the Bronco looks. Jeep has had issues with the disconnecting sway bar - looks like the Bronco's is designed to activate under load! Would love to see GM bring out the Hummer H4X concept they had displayed before the demise of that brand and make this a three-way.
I guarantee Jeep will go to an independent front end within 2-3 years. You don't want a solid "flex", you want free moving for better traction, better ride, and safer off roading. Jeep has graduated all their other SUV's to independent front suspensions. The Wrangler will be next.
You can't 1 ton, coilover and 4 link ifs. Which is why so many people who love Jeeps and hardcore wheeling do it on a Jeep whether it be an old or new Jeep.
yibes I agree, flex is everything for rock crawling so the market will be for mall crawlers and soccer moms mostly/light off road. Heavier off roaders will not be interested, but they are a small portion of the market. I might like it for a daily driver.
@@1source106 the mall crawlers love the bronco man, and that's perfectly fine, have fun everyone! but true offroaders will stick to their beloved Jeeps happily.
Currently the Main difference between them is I can sit in my ‘99 Wrangler Sport today, while Broncos won’t be in driveways for almost another year. That being said I’m interested in seeing the 2-door Bronco.
I really like the Bronco, I like the styling and I like the features. I don’t like the Ecoboosts. I feel like a normally aspirated V6 would last a much longer time with fewer issues
I had a Jeep Wrangle Unlimited Sahara. Engine replacement two times, death wobble and the list went on and on and on... I will be going to Ford and looking at a Bronco, when I'm shopping again.
I had a Wrangler...may have been a fluke, but it was in the shop A LOT. I also had a Ranger that NEVER broke down. I know that doesn't scientifically fit into the above comparo....but it makes a BIG difference to me!
Don’t expect to get my Jeep wave! Or light bars or lifts or customizations!! 😂😂😂 I’m just being a brat but idc I’m sticking with my Jeep Wrangler for life ❤️
Neglected to say the rubicon comes with 33” tires, but you can put 35s with no lift. This will change the fording and approach angles (slightly). Also seem to have forgotten to mention the Jeep’s solid front axel vs the Bronco’s independent front. Also, the JLs came out in 2018 and the aftermarket stuff is pretty rich. Going to take a year or two for Bronco aftermarket selections to catch up. Nice to see my mojoito rubicon up against the Broncos. They’re both awesome. Big thumbs up to ford.
I've had six Jeeps. The last two have been Rubicons. Currently have my 2015 Hard Rock. I think Ford has done a Fantastic job here with the Bronco. I have put down a deposit on pre order for the Bronco Badlands. Well Done !!
David Johnson When you get it will you pick me up and give me a ride?

I'm also a Jeep guy but been waiting for this one cause I'm just a big offroading fan also.

Never buy launch Ford vehicles. I've worked there. Six months later is key. You're welcome.
Max Dominguez I have a eco boost pick up and the torque is immediate. The turbos spool very quickly

Me too. After 6 built JK's/JL's on 38's and 40's, I will be switching up!
@Lloyd Bonafide You're absolutley right. To say I've been Rubicon Loyal is an understatement. Jeep HAS to come out with a V8 to keep sales up, at a minimum. I wheel once every two months, but the street ride is subpar with the Solid front axle. Liveable for sure, but a nice ride would be a welcomed change. It would be nice to have a more compliant ride on the street.The JL is a pretty big step forward from the JK, but this new Bronco is beautiful and can still do the rock crawling. People are so worried about the IFS, I'm not. For the extreme Rock crawlers, you can always do a SAS swap.
@@1dumpedviper Fully built JK owner looking to upgrade and start building something newer. The wife will move into a Bronco, because I cant explain away how much better the options list and value is in the Bronco over the JL. Jeep has been the only game in town and the price to value just isn't there. For my own rig though, I just cant see going the IFS route. So literally for hardcore rock crawling, this is the only reason that I am staying with the Jeep. For 99% of the planet, this decision should be easy

This is why competition is amazing! I am a Jeep fanatic, but damn, I’ll be definitely considering a bronco. Finally someone to challenge them
That's what its about man. Ford brought the heat with the 5.0 Mustangs, and now the ZL1 Camaro has me drooling. Competition means everybody wins.
They've held a title for decades. Now a worthy competitor.
I feel like chevy really missed out with the Blazer

Even as a die hard Jeep guy, this launch can only be good. Jeep May finally have some meaningful competition.
Sadly the Bronco beat the Wrangler with quality, Fiat/Chrysler has been cheaping out. I've heard some stories about interior rattle right off the lot.
CafeNightster that is what he is saying buy the wrangler 2022 they will have to step up quality at least 20% to even match the bronco or Jeep won’t survive
Hopefully Jeep prices will come down out of the clouds
i agree i bought my JL in 2018 i love it but jeep got way too cocky without the competition im glad jeep has competition. i cant wait how the crazy guys at chrysler will think of next
I’ve had two Jeeps now. I’ve loved them both, and put them thru the wringer-and mechanically they’ve both done pretty good.
But man, that Bronco looks nice. Hoping it starts a pricing war.

@@Ihateironyanddumbusernames agreed. It looks like a Jeep and has alot of the same features as a jeep so one could argue that they basically copied jeep. The Bronco is beautiful and I'm sure will be stout offroad but a Jeep killer, as it's being touted, it is not. I see it as a comparable offroader just as the Tacoma TRD pro and the Colorado zr2 are. Those are amazing offroaders as well but def not Jeep killer's. A take on the 90's V8 Bronco would have really been the game changer here but they decided to go with a 4-banger turbo.
Because they were...
FCA has basically admitted the JL was primarily a "styling uipdate" to attract a younger audience. Let's be honest, there haven't been any big innovations on the Wrangler in decades. Hopefully the Bronco will finally light a fire under FCA's behind, so they put some legitimate engineering into the next Wrangler update.
@@sooperknob Agreed, the JL is a JK with some fancy tech and rounder corners. And yeah there hasnt been big innovations on wrangler for a while but that's because they have spent the last half-century refining the best offroad design so that Ford can rip it off, lol. The JK has pretty much been perfected and every single issue with the JK has been ironed out with an upgraded part or workaround so I cant see a huge departure from the regular Jeep design. It looks like that fire under FCA has already been lit as theyre teasing the V8 Wrangler- this is truly game changing and will stomp the Bronco if FCA actually comes through on this.
I realize my Jeep bias is showing but all that being said, I really like the Bronco's slick and stout design (even thought it looks like a Jeep), love the tech, love the GOAT modes, and really think ford hit the mark on the design and aesthetics.... shoulda put a V8 in it though.
Not a fan of turbo engines but Ford has a real winner here. Jeep would have to do a ground up redesign and I'm not sure Fiat is going to put that much capital into Jeep.
They last tho
Tj Mower well if you take care of them they last. You can’t abuse them like a V8.
@@bluesfan6862 I would suggest checking out the Ecoboost Torture Test videos they did back when it launched. They did abuse an engine and then tore it down at a convention to see the wear of which there was very little if any at all. I've had a F150 with an ecoboost, I'm going to seriously be considering a Bronco next year.
@Andrew Sully Well what statistics are you using to prove ur point?
The ecoboosts are extremely successful engines. I am a hardcore V8 fan but Consumer Reports,JD Power survey,and a whole lot of 3rd party reliability surveys are out there and most of em are free, just go and check em out before jumping into a conclusion. Infact the Ford 3.5l ecoboost has been rated more reliable than a GM 6.2l V8 by CR and JD too says the Fords ecoboost engine reliability has been above industry average and on par with NA motors . The best part is since Ford has pushed ecoboost engines so much unlike any other US automaker (Ford is the only US automaker who got balls to sell over 66% of their product line up with turbos, GM is 48% and FCA is 40%) the supply chain is extremely strong and parts have got extremely cheap over time. A full turbo assembly replacement for a 2013 Ford Fusion 2.0 turbo costs just 1 day job and under 2000 USD considering VW costs around 2800;GM around 2500.
Wow and it only took Ford 10 years to come up with the new Bronco. So now Jeep will revamp to beat the Bronco !
Ford brought their A game. I don’t see Jeep holding on to their crown once the broncos are released
They will.
@@TomKirkman1 No they wont
1000% disagree with you. Jeeps reputation is 80 years built. My wife has a Rubicon and would trade me in before she'd give up her Wrangler. It's a Ford. It's not a Jeep. World wide ppl call SUV's JEEPs because Jeeps are the best. Good effort by Ford.. but I promise you that you'll see 100 Wranglers for every bronco you see. FCA builds 1200 Wranglers a day out of their Toledo Plant. There is NOTHING that comes on that Bronco that would make someone change from Jeep To Ford.. not happening. Rumors already coming out that Ford took the Bronco out to Moab and it broke down on Cliffhanger and SteelBender. So once those videos come out of the vehicle not being able to complete the courses in Moab, then it's game over.
Rofl no one will touch the wrangler. Not even the bronco
One word IFS.
Ill take the 2 door bronco with the 7 speed manual with the sasquatch package.
I wish it came with the 2.7
I thought a 7 speed too until I saw what you loose with the manual. Smaller engine, no trail brake assist. Plus the one pedal driving and trail control make up for the automatics shortcomings.
Mark Perlman Say Bro always go with the 10 speed, cause Ford’s 10 speed is select shift, meaning you can change it to whatever speed you want it up to 10.
Ford doesn't make that. Sasquatch is only available with the automatic.
I actually think the 2 door looks better than the 4 door
I DONT NEED TO KNOW THE SPECS....I DONT OFF ROAD. AND NEVER WILL.....I WILL BUY A BRONCO BECAUSE ITS BEAUTIFUL ;)
It would be sinful to not off-road such a rugged truck.
I would guess the vast majority of Broncos will never go off road - just like most Jeeps never see dirt.
the bronco has a mall crawler spec. just like jeep. also you can sasquatch that mofo for the king of the mall title.
With independent front suspension, it's probably a more comfortable daily driver than a Wrangler.
@@mechmat12345 also more expensive to repair
The bronco looks absolutely amazing! But my dream since I was little was the drive around my Jeep and I’m still not giving up on that dream :)
After seeing this beauty I find myself buying some ford stocks. This car is really amazing !
Copied comment by the way 🤡
After some rumors I bought F stock at $4.21 a share. All smiles now and hoping it keeps going up. Might finance my Badlands with Sasquatch package with the profits! :)
I was going to get a gladiator for an offroad vehical but every dealer wants to upcharge an already expensive midsized truck. I guess Ill be getting a bronco base with the sasquatch package.
Good plan!
When do you plan on purchasing an new vehicle? I'm hearing rumors that there may be a Bronco truck, I am seeing renderings all over the place!
That's unfortunate. Around where I live the price has come down on them quite a bit. You can get a sport s with max tow for under 40k.
You don't know how to negotiate. The initial rush is over for the Gladiator. A smart consumer should be able to score one for at least 7 percent back of invoice.

Come over to Bronco if you sick and tire of Wrangler issues... should solved your problem rather than begging FCA to fix it which they usually ignore you. Lol. Now you have options.. I mean better one.
Never had an issue with any of my Wranglers. My Ford manual transmission did explode driving down the highway at 14k miles though.
@@mikeeast8322 Glad to hear that. :)
Ford - Found on road, dead
Mike East I’ve had several problems with my 3 wrangler including a transmission with my 07. The wrangler has been on consumer reports (top 3 least reliable automobiles) that past 3 years that I have subscribed to it.
I’m currently in a legal battle with the FCA over my 8 month old 2019 Wrangler. It’s been in the shop 8 times for the same electrical issue and they still haven’t been able to fix the problem. My current wrangler is a severe example and clearly a lemon and every manufacturer has bad apples. What really bothers me is I have purchased 3 new wranglers since 2000 ie a loyal customer. The FCA refuses to take the wrangler back under the lemon law even though it’s clearly the situation. My local dealer has even been confused WHY the FCA is fighting this. My local dealer knows they have lost my business over this and it’s unfortunate because they did nothing wrong. I hope you continue to have good success with your wrangler.
JP after 3 times lemon laws in effect they have to buy it back
Save yourself 7 minutes and 13 seconds: No head to head comparison you were waiting for is found in this video.
Thanks mate!
RIIGHT !!! i watched this and found so many damn issues . its just glorifying the ford and bashing jeep in misguided facts
I am very excited about the bronco! I can see this will be a hot sell. Need to stay saving now!
The Bronco looks impressive visually and on paper with some clever ideas...but we need to see it do the Rubicon trail to see if its all looks and paper stats and nothing more.
I will be watching for the head to head with the undisputed off road king Jeep Rubicon.
@@dbegley990 Plenty has been done since this...and..." Im not going to lie...things don't look good for Bronco."
Shh, don’t tell the boys at TFL, you know how much love they give the Jeeps.
And they got banned from the reveal and having a future press car.
@@ddub2195 Seriously? What happened if you dont mind me asking?
InuranusBrokoff they leaked press photos of the 2021 F150 ahead of the reveal after Ford told them not to. They no longer get to cover press events (which means they can’t be first to release, hurting their clicks and views) and they no longer will get press vehicles from Ford.
@@InuranusBrokoff TFL published some photos (of the Bronco) they received from an anonymous source - turns out they had apparently been "stolen" by someone with access to Ford (employee?). Ford was not happy - apparently TFL (and others) had a signed agreement not to publish stuff like that.
Maybe we should wait until the vehicles are actually tested and not put so much stock into theories.
As a wrangler jk owner, i would love to own a two doors bronco. Ford got this one right! Not that i would get rid of my jeep! I would just like to have one of each.😍👉🐎
Same here. Just bought a JL after years of wanting a Jeep Wrangler. I still think it's awesome, but Ford nailed this and every Bronco/square body/off road fan has to admit this is a bad ass move by Ford. Chevy BLEW IT with their Blazer. I have an 84 K5 in great shape, and if Chevy would have pulled this off like Ford I would have been all in with Chevy. Looks like Ford has changed my mind. I'll keep the Jeep and K5, but the Bronco is now on my radar.
I’ve always been a Ford fan, if that’s with their trucks or SUVS. I currently have a 2010 Ford Edge and a 2001 Ford F-150. I’ve always wanted a Jeep (not one of their newer ones because of just their look I guess) I like the simple early to mid 2000s look, but now with Ford, a technology system I’m used to, I can happily say I will one day be getting one of these bad boys. My dream Jeep was a matte black Rubicon, but now my dream vehicle is this fantastic looking bronco!
So you don't like the look of the new jeeps but you like this bronco? 🤔
Get a YJ or TJ and you'll be in love. I've had both and am now on my 3rd TJ.
Not a true comparison until some real off-roaders get behind the wheel of this beast. Not that it really matters because 99.9% of the Bronco’s out in the wild will be crawling the mall parking lots 🤣🤣🤣
Most Wrangler's i see are out crawling malls as well so now they can do it together
Yep right over the jeeps parked there!
Tell me one Jeep panzy driving the trails?? I hit way more trails in my F-150 than 99.9% of Jeep owners.
Exactly 🤣🤣🤣
Yz th3ory pavement princesses! I guarantee it. When you get them out on a trail and the first time they have both wheels in the air because of the independent front suspension they will pee themselves and go home.
Ford did a great job on the Bronco and their support of the American Auto Worker means I'm getting a Bronco.
The Bronco is being made in Mexico
The Ford is much more likely to be a reliable vehicle. On that category alone, I'd go Ford. Look at the Jeeps' ratings!
Fords are not reliable at all as a brand. Jeeps aren’t either, but at least they hold their value. Fords do not.
Papa John - you’re a biased idiot if you don’t think Ford is reliable but you think your pos Fiat Jeep is
@@matthewdumas5342 Good point on holding value. My guess is that's related to the lack of alternatives for folks looking for an offroad vehicle. Ford just changed that dynamic.
@Papa John LOL. "The 2020 Jeep Wrangler is one of the most unreliable cars of 2020. The official consumer report shows that this Jeep is in the bottom three for least reliable cars of 2020. Though this may not stop anyone from buying one. Die-hard Jeep loyalists still love their Jeeps, in spite of these ratings.Apr 5, 2020
"
The Jeep Wrangler is One of the Most Unreliable Cars of 2020
Ford's got that weak AF IFS....
The Bronco is lightyears ahead of the cheap old wrangler. Looks better, has better capability, better performance, and better tech. RIP
False
Lmao ifs
Corbin D. Wrong. Jeep sport doesn’t even come with damn skid plates. Listen I love jeep but they have abused their monopoly on doorless off road rigs. The base bronco with the Sasquatch is basically the equivalent of a rubicon. The BASE model.
Toyota should bring back the new
Model FJ Cruiser in the coming years to compete the Bronco
No
Failed the first time and will fail again
Toyota is more reliable
They released the FJ at the worst time..... high gas prices and everyone buying crossovers. Now would be the time to release something to compete........but they won’t.
Nope. FJ has high resale value.
The biggest Mistake the Ford did was the independent front suspension!!!! The flexibility on the trail and the cost of repairs if damaged it is the achilles’ heel. They compare the 4 door wrangler because the 2door bronco can’t touch the 2 door Rubicon
FCA reliability issue will definitely make the bronco a home run in the off road market place. Sorry Jeep but you’ve met your match by far.
Every domestic made vehicle has reliability issues! Why they still do in our modern world is beyond me.
Can u step to the jeep srt in a race
You should wait to see once these broncos are out in abundance and see how many break or have reliability issues. Current Ford engineering says that they will spend more time in the shop than on the trails. At our shop Ford is the most troublesome vehicles out there no matter the model. Blue oval certified to cost you a ton in maintenance and trade back to a Jeep and lose your wallet in the process.
No reliability issues. 3.6 pentastar v6 is an amazing engine. ZF 8 speed transmission is also an amazing transmission. Keep spitting that bullshit though.
The Bronco looks like a beefed up Flex
That’s what I’m sayin😭😭😭
@@grahamcourtney2017 yep
Ever since Chevy ruined the Blazer, I have been anxiously waiting for the Bronco! Had a jeep, but the Bronco looks better and specs make it more my kind of rig.
I was crushed with the Blazer as well. GM was simple fools when they brought it out. It was a shame.
I would like to see a highway comparison with the middle range of both vehicles. That’s what most of us will be using it for most of the time.
Absolutely love this all-new Bronco! Never have I seen a vehicle that was just universally accepted by nearly everyone and I am very impressed that Ford was able to keep that "retro" styling, yet incorporate so many modern amenities! Let's be real here, the Jeep is still the king and this vehicle has yet to prove it self, however, it does have a pretty good shot of dethroning the Wrangler JL. Furthermore, what I like so much about the Bronco is that it doesn't really look like a toy, it actually looks like something that is tough and rugged and I can't really say that about Jeep. Of course, the Jeep is a very capable vehicle, but I feel a bit feminine when I get in one. I feel like this is more to my taste! Furthmore, I feel like Jeep brought this on themself becuase they're were so many years that vehicle had absolutely no competition and I am very surprised that there were so few innovations to that vehicle when compared to the Bronco. When I look at the features on the new Bronco, they are setting a industry standard for what these vehicles should come with. Some of the features that I love are the rubber floors with a drain plug to hose out the interior, marine grade vinyl seating so you can actually get them wet, a first of its kind storage bin for the doors and a multi-piece hard top! (me and my girlfriend went to Puerto Rico for spring break and we rented a JL and you wouldn't believe how heavy that top is to take off and you literally cant store it anywhere...). It's nice to see that there are more options on the market now besides the Wrangler!
Just be aware that Ford has a serious flaw in their automatic transmissions. You can't push it from Drive into Neutral with an open palm in an emergency. Rather, you have to push the shift lockout button on console shifters, lift the column shifter up, in order to get the transmission from Drive into Neutral. But then, you risk putting it directly into Reverse. Jeeps or Rams or other FCA products do not have this problem. Agreed on the innovation by Ford for the new Bronco!
Front solid axle would have made it true off roader.
Throw 35s on the wrangler and everything will be the same. The numbers are so slightly different lol. It’s the same as if I compared a wrangler with 35s next to a wrangler with 30/31s (what they usually have). Jeep guys don’t stop at 35s usually though. 37 or bigger lol
Wrangler = ugly and Wrangler = slow
Harvey Singh lol Same could be said for the bronco.
Yeah she upgraded the Bronco to 35s but kept the Jeep at 33s for some reason. Even then, the Bronco with 35s BARELY best the Wrangler on 33s. That’s a win for Wrangler.
Sour grapes post from an outdated Jeep owner lol
Jeff Wisener outdated? The bronco isn’t even available till next year. It hasn’t even been tested in a real world situation.
That new Bronco is so beautiful!!
Um, the 3.0L Ecodiesel in the Wrangler is a better power plant in my opinion. Not to mention they will be adding the 6.4L Hemi as an option in the future (allegedly). That being said, this new Bronco is sick!
I will jump to the Bronco. The Bronco will maybe make Jeep to drop the price tag a little bit. Happy to see that Jeep will have serious competition now.
You can't go wrong, and I'm glad they are both here. That means some competition, better pricing.
i want to see real world comparisons. How well do the new broncos work? How durable? The front suspensions/axels will be interesting to compare.
I’m a Jeepster, ....,but clearly, Jeep will have to return to the drawing board. if tomorrow I would have to buy another vehicle ... it would be a Bronco!
If you get one tomorrow,you'd have it before everyone since there not out yet
IFS. More of a 4 runner killer than a Wrangler killer.
How so?
Go to an offroad park and tell me how many ifs rigs are there...
@@lukebinkley971 Hummer is IFS.
As much as I like the new 4 door Bronco, and I currently own an older Bronco, there's no 3rd row seat option in Bronco, which is offered in 4Runner. Could be a major oversight for Ford, because many families need that extra seating option at times.
Hooray! The true adventurer, Ms. Hall weighed in on the Bronco. Great to get an opinion from someone who actually goes trailing (like the TFL Team). This Bronco sounds great!
Ford did a Great job. But we all know FCA is not going to let the crown go that easy. I Love new tech and design as much as anyone else. Best believe FCA is doing something about this ... Great time to be Alive...
Their solution is probably going to be putting a V8 in it. Typical FCA. They don’t really focus on the inside and functionality.
@@rhydynamic8306 they just refreshed the interior 🤷
Oh I'm getting that Sasquatch package.
Logan King wish it was AT tires instead of MT but its whatev. May just get badlands since it has 33s AT and suspension already. Not much need to add sasquatch on badlands

@@TheMoistDonuts I live in WA and there are many open trails but the big sell is it's quick to turn for the dunes. Really want a truck for the dunes and can go out on the beaches of the coast and Puget Sound.
I've had 7 jeeps. There is no replacing jeep period. But a bronco could keep the jeep company in the drive way.
The fact that you’ve had to go through 7 Jeeps says enough! Bronco all the way!

Lets just say...I wasn't a fan of Ford until I seen the Bronco!!! :-)
It’s here, it’s here! Albeit YEARS too late to the party. Just ordered a Jeep 2Dr Rubi. Why? Upgradability & it’s proven - two factors the Bronco won’t come close to matching for many years. Your “Specs Comparison” was really just a 33’s vs 35’s Ford love fest. It would’ve looked far different had you placed 35’s on the Rubi, something that can be done without a lift (or even more lopsided, gone with 37’s and the factory approved Mopar 2” lift). Who needs a Sasquatch? Lastly, wider and longer is not a plus for those who intend to use their new ride the way it was meant to be driven. See you on the trail?
"It's here, it's here, it's here" is a very funny way of saying "available spring of 2021"....
assuming they don't push it back even further and turn it into a 2022 model .
Dude... they're already at the dealer.
@@powernap5187 You can reserve one at a dealer of your choice, but otherwise, no, they aren't. They aren't even starting production until around late 2020 early 2021 I suppose, so no, they aren't. Unless one has a prototype, and those ain't for sale.
I like both, but that Bronx is bad ass!!! Torque and tech are god imo. That battle gonna be good between these offroaders.
That squach package is going to add a bit more of a price. Now get water in that turbo and see what happens. Now take away the squach and the size and numbers tumble alot less than 9" of clearance and much smaller tires so there is that. Torque is God if it is naturally aspirated. Turbos do not do well with water. And I have had my jeeps over the hood in water with a 5" lift. No real issue besides having to change the air filter. You take water into the intake turbos and that thing just got real pricey. And the risk of a hydrolock aswell. If it has exhaust turbos then fine whatever. But not everyone pulls a tape measure out before hoping into the water hole. You might need to with the bronco.
Suppose it'd be the same with the Jeep 1.4L turbo
It's not a comparison, it's a comedy
I'm driving a 2020 2door Willys and I love it, but there're tons of quality details I can't digest.
Rubicon stock tires are only 32.8". if you put 35" tires o Rubicon, they will change the angles for better . It would be more like apples to apples. For example, the ground clearance of Rubicon will change from 10.8" to 11.9" etc.
I work for Jeep, and all I can say is that I'm glad I'll never have a lack of work thanks to Jeep recalls, because Ford is about to eat the Wrangler's lunch.
Ford will likely get a lot of recalls too, especially since it's such a new product.
@@TdotSoul I don't doubt it tbh. I don't know what Ford looks like with recalls, but I can tell you that Jeep has a lot of them. Multiple recalls in some cases for single vehicles, some of which have no solution yet.
I have a 2020 4 door Rubicon and the new Bronco is sharp looking. I’ll keep my Rubicon though. I can disassemble the entire truck with 3 torque bits and the modification options are limitless.
now i would like to see a new fj cruiser with removable doors and roof and really make for a competitive market.
I've just put down my reservation deposit on a Wildtrak 4 door edition... here's hoping there are some good overlanding and offroad accessories ready for this thing once we get delivery here in Canada! Time to part ways with the Jeep Wrangler!
I will never ever go away from jeep
But you’re watching bronco videos? lol
Lol
both cars wrangler and bronco are an absolutely amazing cars and huge success. i want both.
With 25 years in the towing industry it is my opinion that no one should ever buy first edition autos. If you decide to buy then good luck and happy wheeling.
2015 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited owner here. Built up with 35” wheels, 4.88 gears (6M) and AEV 3.5” lift. Also, it’s totally paid off. I loved everything about my Jeep until I saw the specs on the Bronco. I’m _very_ interested in the Bronco and may jump back in on a car note if the data translates to practical experiential differences.
For the hardcore off roader, it won't sway them to buy a Bronco. Jeep's got some heavy aftermarket support which gives it endless customizability. But for folks like me who just wants something that works and with most of the tricks already built in from the factory, this one's for me.
oh you know every lift kit and mod will be available for this bronco...but to be that already offroad ready sasquatch package thats offered on every platform is huge on fords part..
The fact that it can come straight from factory with 35s and suspension and such is great. Not to mention the fact it can go on any bronco trim. Ford really lit a fire under jeeps ass with this
I currently own my second Jeep Wrangler, and love it. I do like the new Bronco and the fact that it finally brings competition to the over priced Wranglers, but after seeing the Bronco close up, it reminds me too much of the Escape.
My last 3 vehicles have been Jeep and damn my 4th will be a Ford.
The person next to be bought a new ford Taurus and it last not even a year found on road dead
Look, there's a BIG difference between the Wrangler & the Bronco - Bronco's independent front suspension, yeah we agree. As this was just a "by the numbers" comparison, we felt that IFS was too subjective to include in the versus. But hey, what do YOU think? Did Ford cop-out or is solid-axle just goin out of style?? 😉
But the Bronco has that disconnect option that compensate.
I think we’re getting to a point with suspension technology that the solid axle advantage is starting to be a thing of the past.
It's going to come down to use. Jeeps will still be better crawlers and the new Bronco will easily take the desert and possibly even overlanding based on some of the accessories that were seen in the reveal. I think the biggest response from Jeep will be on the Gladiator and its usefulness as an overlander.
@@psyko21o2 well don't forget there is a nre Ranger coming and it may be based on the Bronco!? Then what?
Emmie, these VS videos are the best in the biz! Will you do a 2 door comparison and calculate the actual ground clearance at the mid point instead of the GC under the diff? Also can you find the weights and give a power to weight comparison? Thanks!
You know that Ford has a winner with the Bronco, when Jeep said they’re dropping a V8 inside the Wrangler in the future. 😂
Imagine this Bronco with the coyote v8. Maybe with turbos?
Mike Fleek I’m thinking the engine they use for the Raptor, if they decide to go that route.
The bronco sounds like it puts more torque to the ground up until the IFS lifts a wheel and the lack of TWO tires pulling becomes apparent. Other than the lack of flex in the front suspension, they sound like they're on par with each other. The true test isn't on paper though; it's on the trail.
You should compare upgradability. If the Bronco cant be upgraded easily then it's useless. The wrangler is like a lego set.
Did you not watch the video?
I am not knowledgeable about the turbos in these, but I'm most interested in power at idle, not peak output at redline. After all, no one is at 5000rpms while crawling. Turbos may be great for highways, but are they any good in these applications?
Low end torque just like a diesel. I have a fusion with 1.5 ecoboost. Going up a long hill on hiway at 60 mph never shifts out of overdrive. All the power is at low rpm.
you forgot the most important thing in offroading.... LOCKING DIFFERENTIALS ! The Rubicon has electric locking differentials front and rear, if the Bronco doesn't have that, then the Rubicon would stomp all over it when it comes to rock crawling and everything else....
Bronco has front, rear, and center locking differentials available including sway bar disconnect.
@@johnjames7712 Handcuffed to IFS. Jeep still wins.
DG 3 Jeep is fiat trash
@@DG__3 Bronco has 17 percent more wheel travel
Was your comparison for tires done with the Rubicon on 33" vs Bronco 35"?
You put an optional package in the bronco to make it look good in this comparison, you can also put mopar dealer installed lift kit and tires in the Jeep and smash all the numbers
Yeah, but all the goodies are 'stock' on the Bronco. No need to go aftermarket. Or you could just do the same and add mopar to the bronco and on and on...
They compared the 2020 Unlimited Rubicon MSPR $43935 to the 2021 Bronco Badlands Package MSRP $42095 seems like a good comparison to me
Where are you seeing pricing?? All I’ve seen is the base trim price.
Christian they also said the bronco has a Sasquatch optional package (lift kit, 35 inch tires and front and rear locking diff )
@@luisdelaroca6314 the Badlands has that stock. It's the high end version of the bronco just like the Rubicon is for Jeep
Bronco Looks Soooo BEAUTIFUL
The Bronco smashes the Jeep in every important category including styling, fit and finish, tech, and practicality. Ford will dominate the sector for years to come.
Hellz Yeah
I am a Ford Guy, but competition in this sector is a good thing. 300k Units a year that Jeep has owned for a looooooong time in this segment. Its about time they are made a little uncomfortable.
It looks great. And they will carve out success, like the Toyota FJ did. That one was also supposed to dominate the sector too and beat the Wrangler. Jeep has something that is hard to understand and really doesn't make sense--brand loyality. So what keeps Jeep successful is the same thing that keeps H-D successful. It's hard to achieve that status, but hopefully their fate will be better than the FJ. These two could work to push each other so the customer gets the best vehicle possible, regardless of what they buy. Looking forward to seeing that.
Honestly I'm a Mopar guy and I really like the new Bronco.
I feel like the Wrangler is just too expensive for what it is, competiton is badly needed.
@@TheColoradoHouseWrangler Actually it's the opposite for HD, because unlike Jeep their not attracting Millennials and My Generation(Z).
Every biker I know my age as a Japanese Sports bike.
But if anyone can challenge Jeep, it's Ford. They have the most popularity with Americans and of the big 3 they have the bigger foot hold in the foreign markets except for China.
Probably why they built on the Rangers platform, because they can market and sell it overseas too.
The 392 Wrangler commercial ad played before the vid😂😂👌🏼
I reserved a 2 door, black diamond bronco, manual!! It’s going to be a sweet ride!!
Would like to drive both before committing. I would expect the Bronco to drive better with the independent front end, but the Jeep may be better off-road with the live axle. I will be a question of which is the better trade-off, but I like how modern yet retro the Bronco looks. Jeep has had issues with the disconnecting sway bar - looks like the Bronco's is designed to activate under load! Would love to see GM bring out the Hummer H4X concept they had displayed before the demise of that brand and make this a three-way.
Ford kicked ass. They finally have some true off roaders working in R&d, sales
, mgmt.
Both beautiful, Jeep will win for now with the solid front axle, Bronco cannot flex nearly as much as a Jeep.
I guarantee Jeep will go to an independent front end within 2-3 years. You don't want a solid "flex", you want free moving for better traction, better ride, and safer off roading. Jeep has graduated all their other SUV's to independent front suspensions. The Wrangler will be next.
You can't 1 ton, coilover and 4 link ifs. Which is why so many people who love Jeeps and hardcore wheeling do it on a Jeep whether it be an old or new Jeep.
yibes I agree, flex is everything for rock crawling so the market will be for mall crawlers and soccer moms mostly/light off road. Heavier off roaders will not be interested, but they are a small portion of the market. I might like it for a daily driver.
@@1source106 the mall crawlers love the bronco man, and that's perfectly fine, have fun everyone! but true offroaders will stick to their beloved Jeeps happily.
Currently the Main difference between them is I can sit in my ‘99 Wrangler Sport today, while Broncos won’t be in driveways for almost another year.
That being said I’m interested in seeing the 2-door Bronco.
Sticking to the Jeep but maybe in the future The bronco can be a nice second vehicle to my Jeep 😊
I really like the Bronco, I like the styling and I like the features. I don’t like the Ecoboosts. I feel like a normally aspirated V6 would last a much longer time with fewer issues
In a year we'll be seeing videos- Jeep rescues stuck Bronco, again....
like the hummer
What about driving down the interstate at 85mph?? Which is more comfortable?
With al due respect to keep, Ford literally just shitted all over keep. Sign me up for the wildlands one
Jeeps are cool, but I had a '72 and a '77 Bronco back in the day, and my reservation for a 2021 is already in!
Bronco is nice but jeep is a legend ❤
I had a Jeep Wrangle Unlimited Sahara. Engine replacement two times, death wobble and the list went on and on and on... I will be going to Ford and looking at a Bronco, when I'm shopping again.
"The old Jeep Wrangler." is that what we're calling it now? hahaha damn.
Very biased video
@@-007-2 it is biased, you can tell
I had a Wrangler...may have been a fluke, but it was in the shop A LOT. I also had a Ranger that NEVER broke down. I know that doesn't scientifically fit into the above comparo....but it makes a BIG difference to me!
Don’t expect to get my Jeep wave! Or light bars or lifts or customizations!! 😂😂😂 I’m just being a brat but idc I’m sticking with my Jeep Wrangler for life ❤️
Neglected to say the rubicon comes with 33” tires, but you can put 35s with no lift. This will change the fording and approach angles (slightly). Also seem to have forgotten to mention the Jeep’s solid front axel vs the Bronco’s independent front. Also, the JLs came out in 2018 and the aftermarket stuff is pretty rich. Going to take a year or two for Bronco aftermarket selections to catch up. Nice to see my mojoito rubicon up against the Broncos. They’re both awesome. Big thumbs up to ford.
Finally something i can replace my Raptor with!!
