Comparing the Jeep Wrangler vs Ford Bronco
For decades, the Jeep Wrangler has been the essential off-road SUV, beloved by adventurers alike for its rugged capability and iconic style. But with the reintroduction of the Ford Bronco, the Wrangler faces some stiff competition. How do these two off-road models stack up? Let's take a closer look.
Performance
When it comes to performance, the Jeep Wrangler has a slight edge. It offers two robust engine options: a 3.6-liter V6 with 285 horsepower and 260 lb.-ft of torque, and a 2.0-liter turbo with 270 horsepower and 295 lb.-ft of torque. The Bronco's engines top out at 275 horsepower but offer a slightly better fuel economy at 27/29 mpg. Comparatively, the Wrangler earns up to 22 mpg city and 29 mpg highway. Whether you're exploring the rugged trails near El Paso or commuting to work, the Wrangler delivers ample power and efficiency to tackle any adventure
Off-Road Capability
Off the pavement is where the Wrangler really shines. With up to 10.9 inches of ground clearance and front and rear axle articulation, the Wrangler is engineered to crawl over boulders and streams with ease. The Rubicon trim even adds front and rear locking differentials, an electronically disconnecting front sway bar, and 33-inch tires for even greater capability. Drivers in Socorro looking to tackle the toughest trails can do so with confidence in a Wrangler.
While the Bronco is a formidable off-roader too, it falls short of the Wrangler. It has slightly less ground clearance and axle articulation, and its approach and departure angles aren't quite as good. So, if you need the ultimate off-road experience, the Wrangler remains king.
Technology
The Jeep Wrangler offers a wealth of advanced tech for those in Horizon City. The Uconnect infotainment system is one of the best in the business, with an 8.4-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, navigation, and a Wi-Fi hotspot. There's also an available seven-inch digital instrument cluster, several USB ports spread throughout the cabin, and a variety of other technologies to keep you connected and entertained.
The Bronco, meanwhile, offers a SYNC 4 system, with similar screen sizes and smartphone connectivity. But the interface isn't as polished or as the Uconnect. Plus, several features standard on the Wrangler are found in higher trims on the Bronco.
When it comes to staying connected and entertained on the go, the Wrangler delivers a premium experience the competition simply can't match.
Safety
The Jeep Wrangler is engineered with a high-strength steel frame and built-in roll bars for exceptional protection. It also offers blind spot monitoring, rear cross path detection, adaptive cruise control, and forward collision warning. With robust construction and smart driver assist technologies, the Wrangler helps you avoid accidents and stay safe on the road.
The Bronco offers Hill start assist, automatic emergency braking, hill descent control, and trail turn assist as standard. But for more advanced features like those standard on the Wrangler, you'll have to pay extra.
