I think Sync 4 premiered with the Mach-E EV? Not sure if Sync 4 is available in the Expedition yet?
Have you actually had a chance to see the larger Sync 4 screens in the new Broncos? I am really surprised you feel your JL's 7" Uconnect4 is better than the Bronco's larger 12" Sync 4. It really is pretty slick. Currently no Wrangler has anything remotely close infotainment and camera wise.
I have no experience with any of the Ford Sync products. I would not know if lagging response is normal or not for their processors and software? I do have a lot of experience with the Wrangler's 8.4" Uconnect4. Uconnect4 does glitch up and have problems. Not just laging in response but actually locking up.
The newer Sync 4 and Uconnect5 are supposedly much faster and can be updated over the air. Both are basically computers and the latest offerings from Ford and Jeep. I think Uconnect5 is Android based? Hopefully reliability and functionality are better as the technology matures. I have my doubts though?
At least Ford recalled the 700K bad head units. Jeep has not recalled anything radio and infotainment related yet. Jeep does replace head units for warranty though. I had a couple already. Jeep told me the 8.4" unit cost something like $2K a pop.
The infotainment was not even one of the LAST reasons why I decided on my Jeep, as it simply came with the package. But full disclosure, I'm more of a look outta the front window kinda guy as I drive. Who knows... Perhaps that IS actually what Ford thinks draws in the new Bronco owner from Jeep??? Their screen is bigger.
Straight axle vs. IFS and aftermarket support were more important to me. Etc, etc, etc.....
