Bronco vs Jeep Wrangler mega thread

No soft top option for the 2 door?

WTF

Per Ford.com Soft top comes standard. Hard top optional on 2 door. Dual top available on 4 door. No soft top pics yet.

Here are some of the frame/technical pics.

So is that a standard D44 or does ford use in-house axles? Looks awfully lot like a D44 - do all models get the same rear axle?

I like it. Never mind Jeep vs Ford. This is about having more people who want to use their rigs off road. Ford will attract some of the Jeep crowd but I really think the 4Runner has just been put on notice.

Wonder what its made out of...aluminum, magnesium, steel, plastic...?

Yeah, that's the only disappointment I have - was hoping for more like 5000 lbs.

3500 for the 2 door is better than my JL.

You can store all 4 doors on board! Unless you have all your gear back there, fail.

Hat's off to Ford, looks like a great vehicle, will keep an eye on how it does reliability wise the next few years when it's time to replace our other ford.

my money and FCA or Ford has to work to get it.

Exactly right. I’ve always had the philosophy that whether it’s a dealership or manufacturer, I want someone who is willing to work just as hard to earn my money as I did. If their marketing or sales plan is to wait fir someone to walk in with a suitcase full of money and drive out in a new vehicle, they’re not for me. Without competition there is no incentive to work or improve.

And for the people that wanted all the Rubicon features in a Sport- you can do Sasquatch package on a base Bronco. Pretty cool actually.

I haven’t watched the whole reveal but that’s really good. One thing Jeep has really screwed up on with the JL is factory gearing. Sports/Sahara’s should have 3.73/4.10 available in addition to stock 3.45. Rubicons should have at least 4.56 available aswell.

What is high package, do they come with crack or not?

Looking at the spec sheet, the axles are labeled with the same code as the Wrangler. So it appears they use Dana axles.

I could not agree with you more!

You should wait, because 2022 Wrangler JL will be just as interesting as Bronco if FCA knows how to play this game.

Maybe. I'm just happy bronco has half doors.

That's true, bit it does have a built in roof rack right?

Jokes aside, name some easter eggs Ford can fit into this, I will start, gloves and blanket.
