- 2021 JLU Sahara Altitude
As a first time Jeep buyer ('21 Sahara Altitude currently on order), I was in the market for a cool, kind of retro looking and boxy SUV that leaned towards the truck side, even though I am not an off-roader. It's all about the aesthetic and fun to drive aspect for me (and the open air power top).
So my choices were narrowed down to either a Wrangler or new Bronco. And while I love the Bronco, I think it needs a model year or two to mature a bit, refine the interior (some bits look very cheap), introduce more interior options/colors, and offer more roof options (power roof). By then, availability won't be an issue, and some kinks, if any, will be worked out as well.
So in 3 years time, I am either going to trade my Wrangler in for a Bronco, or see where Jeep is at with the 4xe as I am not a fan of the mix and match trims that they are currently offering for the 4xe models. If by then you can just buy the Wrangler trim that you want, but as a hybrid 4xe, without mixed up trims and blue bits everywhere, and with longer range as battery technology advances, that will be an option as well.
Having said that, I think both the Bronco and Wrangler are awesome, and it's okay to be a fan and admirer of both. And as fans of both, or either, we will all benefit from this Jeep vs. Ford competition.
