Jeep whoops Bronco's butt

[Aonarch]

LOL, yeah. I leave comments about all that on the videos. They bought the weirdest, overpriced leftover 2024 Bronco and are just grasping at straws to make themselves feel better about it. They paid $56,000 for that turd after discounts. Right now you can easily buy a 2025 hardtop Rubicon after incentives and discounts for that.

My loaded Rubicon was $54k OTD.

I always leave comments too. I get it, the vehicles given to them by the manufacturers or dealers are what they get, and lucky to get them, but they do need to be much more objective and clear when doing these comparisons.

TFL buying that Everglades was a dumb decision. Tommy keeps making comments about how amazing the 2.3 is and no one needs the 2.7l. Go drive them back to back. The 2.7l is probably the best engine that Ford makes period, in any car.

Roman is getting very crotchety if anyone else has noticed. It also looks like he has a bad back and has gained a ton of weight. Compounding his problems.

Andrei and Chase are my favorite two.

Tommy is ok... Can be a bit biased and is too much like his dad.

I'm not a Nathan fan, but he has not been on camera much at all the past few years.

I went Jeep > Bronco> Jeep.

There are things that I miss about my 2DR Bronco, but I sold it for a reason. They are poor quality and have quite a few major engineering and manufacturing flaws.

This style of offroading is a no-brainer and didn't need a video made about it 5 years after the Broncos release, but they need to make money off the poorly purchased Everglades

It is worth noting that I am a Ford guy, definitely not a Mopar, FCA, Chrysler, or Stellantis fan. The only vehicle that I like under the Stellantis umbrella is the Wrangler and Ram HD.

If Ford sold the Everest in the US I would own one in a heartbeat. Same with the Ranger Superduty. I love my F-150, but half tons are so freaking big nowadays.

Andrei even got a CDL, he really knows his thing. I love it when him and Mr. Truck get together. Their music is my ringtone

This music makes me feel that I'm exploring the big beautiful America in my 2 door Ram 2500 Tradesman pulling my lil Jeep

Yes I love watching their Ike Gauntlet tests, even though I have no desire, nor need for a 3/4 ton diesel.

They know their stuff.

Meh, when it comes to articulation, even Sasquatch isn’t gonna help…Jeep for the win…..…

I'm all for the debate, I'm just saying, that Bronco doesn't have the Sasquatch package.

 

[Mocopo]

The Bronco is a bloated 4runner, nothing more.

Sorry, as the owner of both a Bronco and Wrangler, i have to disagree flat out with you here. The Bronco has better clearance, breakover, approach, departure, and articulation than 4Runner, plus a front locker, plus bigger tires. It's not the same, by any stretch.

Meh, as the owner of both a wrangler and a 4runner, the 4runner and Bronco are more similar than they are different. The articulation is really not that different. And in the TFL video the 4runner conquered the off camber wall way better than the Bronco did, even minus a front locker and with smaller tires.

I’m aware…… I wasn’t insinuating that it was, , I’m saying it doesn’t matter……

I based my opinion on real world experience, not a TFL vid. And the Bronco is far closer in capability to wrangler than a 4runner. I've seen my wife take her Bronco through too much crazy stuff to talk shit.

Now... I could be completely wrong... in which case I'm WILLING TO CONCEDE... that my wife may just be a better driver than you

If TFL is trying to somehow be another "Top Gear," they have a long, long way to go.

Seems like I touched a nerve, I’m sure YOUR bronco is more capable than most…happy?

I got a kick out of this TFL vid. I think they’re terrible offroaders, but they out the vehicles through the same line on this little obstacle. Bronco starts at 6:45, 4runner ends at 13:30 or so. 4runner smoked the Bronco IMO, Wrangler wrecked them both.

 

[Fatbob Frank]

Frankly, even if the 4runner or the Bronco could soundly beat the Wrangler offroading it wouldn't have made a difference in my choice...They both beat it on the highway which is where my Wrangler spends the bulk of it's time anyway and I still went with the Jeep...
If I was a Ford guy I probably would have gotten a Bronco and if I was a yuppie I might have gotten the 4runner...
The heart wants what it wants...

You did touch a nerve, I'll probably be up thinking about this most of the night. Tomorrow night too. I'll readily admit that the wrangler can go farther than the Bronco (the reason i drive a wrangler), but in my experience people who put the Bronco on the same playing field as a 4runner I can only assume have never seen anyone actually push their Bronco to see what it is capable of. My wife leads a local Bronco club, so I get ample opportunity to see what they can do.

TBH her Bronco IS more capable than most, but that's because it's on a 3" coil over lift and 37s now. But we wheeled it for 3 years on stock suspension before we added the lift a few months ago.

Yes it does. It's an Everglades model, which is standard with the Sasquatch Package.

The ifs geometry is basically identical between the 4runner and the Bronco. I'm not seeing how the Bronco could have more articulation? Sure it is available with bigger tires and the front locker which make a big difference but it's still more 4runner than Jeep. Call the Bronco a slightly built 4runner stock? More of a direct comparison.

There's tons of videos with more evenly matched trims. Badlands vs Rubicons with both on 33s or 35s. Both vehicles are junk. I'll enjoy my flavor of junk and not feel threatened because someone else has a different repertoire of potential headaches.
