I liked the guy's Lotus long drive review. I so want one some day.

The Jeep-Ford review was pretty good, though not surprised they each took a different position at the end as to make sure not to offend either side.

I personally can't figure out if i like the Bronco or not. Sometimes it looks cool, others not so much. One thing i am certain of is my dislike for the interior. That kind of hack job should not be acceptable in today's world. Man, it's ugly.
I owned a $50000.00 Bronco list and that is exactly what I paid 5 months and 7000 miles before I sold it. It was a 2021 Bronco Outer Banks 2.7 rode nice and was very very good on the road, but on the 1-10 fun scale for me it was a 5 . I bought a 2021 Wrangler JLUR 392 XR First this may never see rocks and not much dirt, but on a fun scale 1-10 it a 15 or 20. It is intoxicating. Yesterday I installed Exact Center and now my Rubicon does drive almost as good as the Bronco. It was good from factory and now it is better, very good on road. My bronco was boring and kind of cheap looking on the inside. I had a $52100.00 2018 JLR 2dr and It was much nicer than the Bronco. The 392 listed for $83K and so it is more fun by miles and a lot nicer. At the price it should be. Bronco sounded like a sewing machine. I had a 2010 Ford Raptor that I liked a lot, but it had a V8. The hemi has made a great Jeep the greatest Jeep ever.

I think Rubicon over Bronco as is.
Honestly no need for 392, keep it real its a Jeep WTF are you going bruh?
In NY ton of the guys who meet at the local "cars and coffee" poke fun at the 392 owners stating they exaggerating need for them to compensate for something lol.
Kinda true though

It was a Rubicon with its only options was the 2.0L and 8AT, no way thats $50k msrp.
It’s probably close. The MSRP for my 2021 was $52,000. Leather, led lights, alpine radio were the only high end options.
Base soft top. And it lists my 8spd auto as a $1500 option.

I'm often occupied, by many things, often at the same time
My 2022 JLR winder sticker is $45k and is $39.8k because not all Jeep dealers ask MSRP or more.

Not a bad video, I actually enjoyed it until they referred to the Wide trail as "Rock Crawling" lol Take that bronco on any real Arizona trail for one day and you will need new quarter panels or at least a half day buffing out those AZ pinstripes because you don't want any marks on your pretty truck .

Why can't anyone produce a video of the two actually doing some challenging obstacles? I look forward to seeing one of these on a real trail someday if that ever happens

Litebrite has recently done a couple of videos of their new bronco. They are hitting some decently challenging trails in Sand Hollow in Utah. Kevin's an amazing driver, so he could be driving a Hyundai Accent in the same situations and would make it look easy. Both him and Brittany have commented about it doing better than they expected, but it's still nowhere near as stable as the Wrangler. Definitely worth checking out.

Wonder why they choose not to test the Rubicon with the diesel against the Bronco?
He said the Wimpy engine saves you gas, but with the diesel you're getting 26mpg and almost double the torque, right?

Did you guys see this? Those are the remains of a cylinder after the 2.7 EcoBoost exploded.
Jeep Wrangler JL Good Rubicon vs Bronco Badlands comparison video Every Day Driver 1644690593757


Note: it reads “Bronco sport,” but on the video you can tell it is an actual Bronco.
