JEEP SMOKES BRONCO! Bye 👋 Bye!

[Rcarpen22]

I want to see a head to head between the Bronco 2.3, and Wrangler 2.0. If the 3.6 can spank the 2.3, then the 2.0t is going to destroy it. Assuming the 2.0t is faster than the 3.6, which based on the numbers, I think is possible.

I have a 2.0 Wrangler (Willys JLU) and a 2.3 Bronco (Badlands manual) and can confirm the Jeep is much quicker.

Eh… my Bronco build (4 door base, Sasquatch, aux switches, V6) MSRP’s at $43k. It’s pretty tough to get a rubicon 4 door that low, and considering the price of the Xtreme Recon package it’s a pretty darn good deal.

Only problem is the base is basically like a Sport S and you can’t option anything extra for options really, but for $6k savings over going the next trim up I’ll deal with the shortcomings.

Just out of curiousity here’s my build as a Rubicon. The Xtreme Recon would add another $4k to that, but considering that jeeps can be found cheaper than Broncos right now I’m probably saving $3kish realistically over a *somewhat* comparable wrangler.

Yes the base Bronco with Sasquatch is a better value than the rubicon. Any other config is more comparable.
But that is a good deal.

The base lacks most of the armor though. I think it has some gas tank protection but that’s it. So you have to include adding that extra protection into the equation. But then the Bronco comes with other things the Rubicon lacks so… It’s not a perfect comparison. I think the base + squatch is a great deal though. Get a 2 door and next year you can hopefully get a manual on that combo too.

Having a Lincoln with the 2.7 eco in a 5600lb SUV, something is wrong with 2.7 in the Bronco. The Mrs. MKX walks the JL with easily every time. No contest, at any speed. Did Ford put a limited power in the ecu till so many miles? Or did the Bronco get 3.7 gears instead of 4.7 gears....
Strange out come from my 2 SUV's.

Well your wife's car weighs 1,000lbs less...

Gotta love YouTubers. "Don't forget to subscribe, guys!" as he's racing down a drag strip.

Still, a fun video. Thanks for posting.

He’s annoying…

The Bronco is 6,600 lbs ? What a porky pig.

The Bronco is 6,600 lbs ? What a porky pig.

600lbs heavier than the Wrangler 392.

The internet says an MKX is less than 4,400 LBS

I put both mine on scales. Out west they are on the side of the road. MKX AWD 2.7 is over 5,500, at least mine is.... That's the 2 I run against each other.

392 excepted. What is the point of drag racing a Wrangler? About as interesting as racing economy rental cars.

I don't know what is dumber?

Drag races between a Jeep and a Bronco or me for wasting 5 mins of my life watching that ???

Or did some of you buy a Jeep for its epic drag race capabilities???

0-60 times are metrics of performance. When two similar vehicles come out why not compare everything about them?

I’m wondering if the Bronco is pulling boost or timing to get a slow roll from stopped. It may be a strategy to easily modulate throttle at tip in which is a plus when crawling with a torquey motor.
Everyone I’ve read says at speed, when you mat the throttle, it picks up acceleration pretty well. IDK.

sure, but why not compare them for what they were made for....off road capability not drag racing

what's next? the new Ferrari vs the latest McLaren on the Rubicon trail?
