I'd offer the solid axle is the reason the Jeep tipped, which is why they gave it a poorer rating....I think :)

I would think the Wrangler being narrower is the reason...I would also say the Bronco is a boat! way too wide but it helps it stay planted(I think) in this exercise. What ever floats your boat Ba dump bump!!

I wish they would have gone over any major differences in what the crash dummies recorded. The driver compartment didn’t look notably worse on the JL despite the worse rating. I sold one of the safest cars ever made (Tesla 3) for the JLUR so obviously crash test results didn’t sway my purchase decision. :)

Just off my general knowledge of the two vehicles, I would rather be in the Bronco in the event of a major crash. Regardless, the ultimate safety feature is the driver and their behavior on the road. I don't care how "safe" a car is, I'd rather be me in a motorcycle, than a passenger in a "safe" car with a moron behind the wheel.
