Bronco vs Jeep Wrangler mega thread

[IdahoJOAT]

Well there’s an unbiased and balanced review if I’ve ever seen one.
Did Ford take you out behind the shed when you were a kid or something?

It's my opinion. I've watched Ford owner after Ford owner either:
A: get so fed up with the constant poor quality and/or coincidental just-out-of-warranty failures
Or
B: explain away all the poor quality with "yeah but..."

Henry Ford was a Nazi sympathizer! LOL

But back on topic...meh, I've no brand loyalty. I was actually a member of bronco6g.com before I joined this forum, thinking my next vehicle was going to be a Bronco. I am looking forward to checking out a Bronco at an auto show.

These are the most photogenic Broncos I've seen, especially with the fancy wheels and meaty 35" tires. The earlier leaks with the smaller pizza cutter tires aren't as fun looking or attractive.

That a hard competition coming .
Not a Ford guy but need to admit they did a great job and a first edition fully loaded with a good engine with great torque and 35 etc etc et for 61K... message is clear
Now I understand why they leak the 392 concept .... they knew something big was coming
Let’s hope that we, customers, will take advantage of this off-roader war

And now they will ! 2022 JLs will be interesting, maybe 2021 will give us more JL 2 door improvements as well.
The rubberized interior, vinyl seats, modular rear hard top windows, manual transmission with the 2.0T, bring it !

Ford has a 50/50 split fold rear seat In the 2 door. Jeep, you can one up that. 2 part rear seat. remove half of it from the vehicle if needed.

What do you do when you find a Sasquatch driving the Sasquatch? But he’s driving to find his mate in the high badlands?

Looks like they learned from everything Jeep got wrong.
Mirrors on the body. Doors can be stored in the back.
Built in trail maps you can also upload and share.
Towing up to 7500 lbs.
35 inch tires from the factory. Better ground clearance.
Also, I think it looks a lot better. Especially the 2 door.
I don't plan on buying one, but it looks like they hit a home run.

I know a lot of the folks will still say, blah blah blah solid axles, blah blah solid axles, but if people think that this think won't take a good chunk of wrangler sales, they are smoking crack.

I saw a 3-way comparo on TFL between the new Bronco, Wrangler JL and 4Runner. Looks like Ford did its homework. This may be the most serious attempt to date at giving Jeep serious competition. Competition is good and welcome.

Styling is a matter of personal taste; I think the new Bronco looks cool, but so does Wrangler. Bronco offers a Sasquatch package with 35” tires; but 35” tires can be added to a JL without much difficulty. Personally, I didn’t see anything that would make me want to trade my Wrangler for a Bronco. Perhaps if I was a Ford fan I’d feel differently, but I don’t see added value in the blue oval.

Ugh, is this going to bring more traffic to my remote destinations and trails?

That's what I said about side by sides, and it was true!

I'm glad Ford started listening to us Jeep owners.

I'm excited to see the return salvo from Jeep. Hopefully more options that are not tied to a specific package. Ford nailed this. Jeep forget the 6.4 Hemi and give us the 5.7 available on all trim levels. 2 or 4 door. it's a $1400 option on Ram, do that.

Where does it state towing up to 7500lbs?
