It doesnt matter. They twisted the articulation argument and now are talking about the footprint being better on the IFS ?. So the articulation thing is meaningless now. They live at peace now lifting tires. Because you know, a tire in the air has great footprint.

There’s also this issue…

Green faced and throw up emoji's usually say more about the actual users of them then the actual content of their words

This review has been paid for by Ford not an actual wheeler. ?

Except I drive a 2020 JL Rubicon so there's that and have owned 2 previous Wranglers, a JK and a TJ. Love Wranglers which is why I own one but I'm not blind to why people are so interested in the Bronco which is good competition for the Wrangler even if YOU don't like it. If it wasn't for the Bronco, I doubt there would be the Xtreme package which is great to have more options even if its not for you.

Typical childish response from another tribal minded person that can't wrap their head around why people like things other than what they like.

Why shouldn't we talk about the Bronco?

The Bronco is the best thing that has happened to the Wrangler community.

It is only because of the Bronco that we have the 392.

It is only because of the Bronco that we have 35" tires from the factory in the XR package.

It is only because of the soon to arrive Bronco Raptor with factory 37s that we will have a chance of getting 37s and advanced bypass/reservoir shocks from the factory.

I hope we talk endless about to Bronco to give even more incentive to Jeep to continue to advance the Wrangler.

Exactly! But people become so offended for whatever reason because what they love needs to be the best. It's that silly human tribalism. Ford vs Chevy, Playstation vs Xbox, Apple vs Android, Dems vs Repubs.....just love what you love and I find it better to appreciate or understand why people are into what they are into. Better than XYZ sucks and ZYX is the best!

Nah. I’m just not a fan of the Emoji Police. ?‍?

I agree... This is the worst thread I've seen on this site so far. I've never understood these tribal battles over mediocre companies... Ford vs Chevy, Bud Light vs Miller Lite, etc... and the lame name calling... "exploder"... how creative. Some people never grow out of that high school mentality.

Seriously, as with any new vehicle, we need a trial period before we can give it an honest review. Ford did a damn good job marketing the Bronco, that everyone (including Ford) believed the propaganda. Time (and by time, I mean a couple of years time) will tell how the Bronco really stacks up to the JL. Until then, all you have is hopes and dreams with nothing to substantiate it.

…As for me, damn happy with my JLU. I wouldn’t trade it now for the Bronco I had ordered (which still hasn’t shown up at my Ford Dealer, and is already pushed to 2022. So much for that (original) June ‘21 build date. ?

Totally agree. I was pulled into the marketing and all the gadgetry. But at the end of the day I love my JL with a lever I can pull back into 4WD versus a dial. The fit and finish is by far greater in the Jeep than the cheap feel of the Bronco. I also think the modern look of the interior of the Bronco will feel gimmicky compared to the long-lasting look of the Jeep's interior. I like that my Jeep's Aux switches can be programmed compared to the Bronco's (may not look as cool, but way more functional).

Not bashing the Ford, and they did get a lot of things right. I wish there was a marine-grade vinyl option for the Jeep. I wish Jeep offered an XR option and rear lockers across the lineup (like for my two door Willys!).

I wanted a Bronco to have the "new thing", but this waiting period has really given me a chance to realize it's not for me, and to realize I'll see them at every corner in a couple of years like I do with the Wrangler. Nothing special about them after all the buzz has died down.

I finally canceled my Bronco order, and happy I did.

Just my 2¢.

Even the idea of brand loyalty is nuts to me. Evey single car company is interested in one single thing. Separating you from as much of your money as possible. They are all a$$holes.

Still, if you think Wrangler people are bad, then you should spend some time with Land Rover guys. Talk about wackos.

 

[Jeeb]

And the Bronco is better for high speed off roading and on road. It also handles the rocks pretty well.

I think if the Jeep and the Bronco had a baby it would be the ultimate machine!!

I'd buy a Breep or a Jonco in a heartbeat.

Just saw these pics on another forums thread and thought how great they look together. Why hate when you can appreciate both? I'd be pretty happy to add a Bronco to my fleet and existing JL Wrangler.

To be clear, I think this thread is bad, not the people here.

Give him credit for not dropping Fix Or Repair Daily

Who the hell buys this type of vehicle for the stereo? Definitely not me. I'd rather have a better rig then stereo. When I'm driving on a trail with the top of I'm going to be listening to nature and my rig working. And if I want music I'm sure the stereo is adequate enough.

Also when I take my kids star gazing at night in the Summer I want them to be able to actually see the entire night sky from the back seat. Not complaining about a big fat crossbar in there way.

It amazes me how so many Jeepers think that a Jeep should be exactly what they want and to hell with everyone else. I see that a lot. I could say the same about your stargazing. Who the hell buys this type of vehicle to look at stars? Ever heard of a telescope?

The stereo in the Bronco sounded like a Bluetooth speaker in a cardboard box. To me that wasn’t adequate enough. In my opinion the lack of a crossbar didn’t make it a better rig. Sounds like the Wrangler is the right choice for me and you should probably get on the waiting list for a Bronco.

nice 4-out of curiosity how’s the parts situation for the rare ride. I have been riding for 55yrs and have only seen one that was occasionally street ridden. Too bad Indian didn’t keep up with the times and go OHV when Harley introduced the Knucklehead, they might have survived.

Hello Mike, All I can say is I lost a long friendship over his emotional attachment to Indians. Shortly after he purchased the Indian 4 he had 2 dogs chewed up by coyotes because he had to get a last minute bid into Ebay for Indian parts.

He has wiped out his whole retirement savings by purchasing Indians and parts over the last ten or fifteen years. He has 3 Gilroy's, a War Chief, Indian 4, and numerous engines, basket cases and parts stuffed inside his garage. It's a serious case of hoarding.

At the time of his dog's demise not one of his Indians were in running condition. Death Valley was our last ride together. I have tried to help him but his hoarding sickness has taken over his life.

Sorry to get this thread off track guys.....

If you want to compare a Wrangler to Bronco then simply purchase one of the many aftermarket solid axle replacement kits available for the Bronco.

My friend got a new sasquatch broncos Wildtracs edition. Keeps telling me how fast the 2.7 turbo motor is. I told him I'd race him in my jeep. All he knows is I have a jeep on 35s. He doesn't know anything about Jeeps or that mine has a fire breathing 6.4 in it that does 4 flat to 60 lol I gotta get this on film.
