Bronco vs Jeep Wrangler mega thread

[JeepDave]

2 Door Base + Sasquatch + 2.7 + employee pricing(I've got Ford workers in my family)

I'd consider it. Would have to be my wife's car, I won't sell the Jeep for it.

Nice where did you find those sheets?

Also remember to factor in the far superior gearing at the axles of the Bronco, something every wrangler sans the Rubi suffers from. IMO all 6sp JLs should have come with at least a 3.73 and an option to 4.10. However I am unaware of the Bronco's stick gear ratios, so that will play into performance and efficiency...I know I never use 6th in my JL, barely turning 2k rpms at 70, gotta hit 80 plus to even think about 6th, which I very rarely do...

The gearing is dependent on the trim and packaging. Since you can't get Sasquatch and a manual trans, then you can only get the super low 95 to 1 crawl ratio if you get the Badlands, with the 2.3 base engine, and don't get the Sasquatch upgrade.

My main excitement over the Bronco was 7 speed and 2.7. I'm getting incredibly disappointed

If you think jalopnik is a reliable source you need your head examined.

How far back are the front seats in that pic? My Unlimited won't fold flat if the front seats are ALL the way back.

The guy in the video with that image appears to be about 5'7. Not usually the type of guy sitting all the way back but obviously I couldn’t say for sure whether or not that’s the case.

Is that the elusive Sasquatch off in the distance? The seats down, the camera man’s presence and the Sasquatch (provocatively dressed) walking away seems... suggestive. Awfully... suggestive.

I mean, it looks badass for sure. There is a high probability I will purchase one as my daily and keep my built Rubicon for all my rock crawling adventures!

I like my Wrangler but I'm starting to think FCA better step up their game a little.

This!! I ended up in a slightly heated discussion with David Tracy because he was trying to correct me in the comments. But later realized that I had been correct the entire time.

To be perfectly Honest, I think the New Bronco is very good looking. I think it is probably a very well built vehicle. But then you get to the engine, I vomit in my mouth a little.. A 4 cylinder turbo, its basically the same engine I had in my Honda Si. Its not that I need a great big engine, but I need an engine I can trust and it sure isnt a 4 cylinder anything. Big turn off. Now if they offered a nice 302 like the old Bronco's I would have to say Wow it just become a tough choice. Ha Ha Not really I a Jeep through and through. I am waiting for the new Jeep 392 to come out... OMG

Then just buy the 2.7L V6 Bronco.

Price is what gets me on Wrangler / Bronco as well.

An SUV would be my wife's daily driver, and she likes a few luxury options, which pushes the the price on these vehicles very high. The simple option of an upgraded audio system raises the price of a Bronco tens of thousands of dollars over the base model, based on trim levels and packaging.

Are there really any manufacurers that don't do this? I've been casually looking for a new vehicle for years now and every one I like quickly turns into a no go because of how the manufacturers pigeonhole you into pricey package upgrades just to get simple options you may want even though there is nothing physically preventing them from adding options a la carte. Like no option for leather seats unless you upgrade to to a model that's $10k+ more and then pay $2k on top of that for the option you want.

There are too many people that do and do.

Good on you! Their comment section is utter garbage, full of toxicity and hardcore trolls.

Wife's turn for a new vehicle. Trying to talk her into a new Bronco. She likes them but concerned with mileage as she might have to do some commuting in it. I'm going to keep trying though.

Oh, and my 2018 JLUR is going nowhere BTW...
