Here's a quick comparo.
This is a Wildtrack next to my Sahara. The Sahara is fitted with a Rubicon suspension and wheels/tires, along with steel bumpers and side armor. Definitely a height advantage for the Wildtrack (35s).
The Bronco seats were GREAT and the thing actually drove in a straight line! Two huge improvements over the Wrangler. I generally was very impressed with most all of the things the Bronco offered, but the one thing I didn't like was the stereo. It was not the high end stereo, but it is horrible compared to the Alpine in my JLU, and most new car stereos in general.
I'm really impressed with the lack of cabin noise with the soft top.
For those with questions about the 2.7's performance, it pulled every bit as hard as the 3.6L V6 etorque in my Jeep. I prefer the
natural aspiration (and engine noise) of the Jeep V6.
One thing for sure - The Bronco is much more tech heavy. Will take a while to learn the Sync4. I'm not going to call it intuitive, but it will be very easy to use once you learn it.
The AC blows MUCH colder than my Jeep. Was 92 degrees + and you would have never guessed it. I drove home after the test drive and immediately missed it.
All in all, it's a true competitor for the Wrangler. It'd be a mistake to dismiss it at this point.
