Invest in the Better SUV in Lexington Park: Jeep Wrangler vs. Ford Bronco
When someone mentions "off-road vehicle," there's likely one model that comes to mind, the iconic Jeep Wrangler. This Jeep SUV has a long-standing history of being the top-tier off-road and outdoor exploration vehicle for drivers all around Lusby. And this well-earned reputation is what makes it so widely popular for shoppers at Fitzgerald Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM Lexington Park.
While the Jeep Wrangler comes with many positive attributes, we understand that there may be other SUVs on the market that you're considering, such as the upcoming Ford Bronco. While this new Ford model is a strong contender, some key differences make the Jeep Wrangler the better option. To help you narrow down your options, we've compiled this comparison of these two rugged SUVs.
Comparing Interiors
Each model has a unique interior with many customizable options to either make the cabin more tech-filled or more durable. Although, here are some key differences that make the Jeep Wrangler's interior stand out more than the new Ford Bronco's cabin:
- As you're cruising the streets or trails near Prince Frederick, MD, you'll want an SUV with adequate outward visibility. With the bigger windows and more sloped hood, the Jeep Wrangler is expected to offer more visibility in all directions than the new Ford Bronco.
- The Jeep Wrangler has many unique features, including one not found on the Bronco. The foldable windshield for the new Jeep Wrangler gives you a truly open-air driving experience, especially when you take the top and doors off.
Comparing Performance Features
There's no denying that the new Ford Bronco is a beast on- and off-road. But, when you closely compare it with the Jeep Wrangler, the Jeep SUV still comes out on top, and here's how:
- Off-road enthusiasts will often go with the vehicle that has solid axles, which is one trait that the Jeep Wrangler has, and the Ford Bronco does not.
- Each SUV offers robust powertrain options, but the Jeep Wrangler has an optional 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6 engine, which produces 442 pound-feet of torque. Not only is a diesel option not available for the Bronco, but it also offers lower torque than you'll find with the diesel engine in the Jeep Wrangler.
- You can opt for a manual transmission for either model, but when you choose to do so with the Jeep Wrangler, it gets paired with the more powerful V6 engine option. The Bronco's manual transmission option can only be paired with its less powerful four-cylinder engine.
Comparing Exterior Features
Another vital area to compare is the exterior features, especially when it comes to these two off-road-ready SUVs near Waldorf, MD. Here's how the Jeep Wrangler and Ford Bronco stack up against one another on the outside:
- The Jeep Wrangler offers several degrees more on approach angle than the Ford Bronco. This angle will come in handy when traversing steep, jagged terrain as it has a better chance of avoiding underbody scrapes.
- When looking at each SUV's two-door body style, there's slightly more ground clearance for the Jeep Wrangler than the Ford Bronco. Even though it's not that stark of a difference, the added 1.3 inches could come in handy when off-roading.
- One last exterior difference is that the Jeep Wrangler's outside mirrors are attached to the doors, which means they'll come off with the doors when you decide to do so. The Ford Bronco's mirrors stay connected to the body, increasing chances of having them damaged when you're trekking narrow pathways or close to rock walls.
