You need an SUV with the power to get you off those boring highways and into an off-road adventure, so let's seen what the Bronco and Wrangler each pack under the hood.
On the base trim of each vehicle, you'll find that the Bronco has a little more to offer. Its standard 2.3L EcoBoost® engine achieves a maximum of 310 lb-ft of torque, where that of the Wrangler can only offer up to 260 lb-ft of torque.
Additionally, the Bronco has slightly smoother shifting abilities than the Wrangler does since it comes with a 7-speed manual transmission. The Wrangler's standard 6-speed manual transmission will feel a little harsher in comparison.
While both SUVs are available as either a 2-door or 4-door model and both offer removable doors and roof, the Ford Bronco will give you more of the features you want when heading off road.
For one thing, the Bronco is cleared for water fording up to 33.5 inches, while the Wrangler can only handle up to 30 inches. Also, the Ford Bronco comes with the Terrain Management System™, which has these five G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) Modes™:
- Sand
- Slippery
- Sport
- Eco
- Normal
Plus, higher trim levels even include Mud/Ruts and Rock Crawl modes. However, the Jeep Wrangler doesn't offer similar drive modes.
Whether you're bringing climbing gear, bikes, or just some extra snacks, you'll need plenty of cargo room as you head off on your adventure. So, what can these SUVs do for you by way of cargo capacity?
The Ford Bronco easily takes the win in this category. Bronco 4-door models have up to 38.3 cubic feet of space behind the rear row. If you fold the rear row down flat, you'll access up to 83 cubic feet of cargo space.
On the other hand, you'll have just 31.7 cubic feet of cargo space behind the rear row of the Wrangler 4-door. Even when you fold the back seats down, you'll reach just 72.4 cubic feet for your cargo space.
If you choose the Wrangler over the Bronco, you'll likely have to leave some of your gear behind. The Bronco is simply built to accommodate your needs.
