The Ford Bronco has long been a rival to the Jeep Wrangler. Both of these rugged SUVs are designed to tackle tough terrain while providing open-air excitement, but a head-to-head comparison reveals that the Bronco edges out the Wrangler in several key areas. For SUV shoppers in the Hanover, MA area, here's why the Ford Bronco is the better choice.
The Ford Bronco offers three powerful engine options, the strongest of which tops out at 418 hp in its 2.7 EcoBoost V6. The Jeep Wrangler, on the other hand, top out at 285 hp with the 3.6-liter V6. While the Wrangler's engines are capable, the Bronco's more potent powertrains give you an edge. The Bronco also boasts superior off-road capability, with a maximum ground clearance of 11.6 inches versus 10.8 inches for the Wrangler.
For adventurers who need to tow a boat, camper, or trailer, the Ford Bronco offers a clear advantage over the Jeep Wrangler. When properly equipped, the Bronco can tow up to 3,500 pounds, while the Wrangler maxes out at 3,500 pounds for the four-door Unlimited model and just 2,000 pounds for the 2-door version. The Bronco's higher towing capacity gives you more flexibility to bring along your favorite toys on your next camping trip or beach excursion in Hanover.
The Bronco also comes with a range of towing-specific features to make hauling a breeze. The available trail turn assist helps navigate tight turns while towing, and the integrated trailer brake controller provides precise control over your trailer's brakes. The Wrangler offers a trailer sway control system but lacks some of the Bronco's more advanced towing technologies.
Inside, the Ford Bronco offers the SYNC 4 infotainment system with a large 12-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, cloud-based navigation, and more. The Jeep Wrangler's optional 8.4-inch touchscreen is decent but looks small by comparison. The Bronco also offers convenient features like a 360-degree camera system, a 10-speaker B&O premium audio, a wireless charging pad, and a full-color digital gauge cluster to enhance your driving experience around Hanover.
For adventurous off-roaders, the Bronco's advanced technology really shines. The available trail mapping system allows users to plan, record, and share their off-road routes, while trail control acts as a low-speed cruise control for rock crawling. The FordPass Performance app, which has off-road navigation and a trail turn assist feature, makes it easy to traverse tricky terrain. The off-road hero switches provide quick access to key functions like a differential lock and sway bar disconnect. The Wrangler offers some off-road tech features like hill descent control and rock rails, but it can't match Bronco's level of innovation.
When it comes to keeping you and your passengers safe, the Bronco pulls ahead of the Wrangler. All Bronco models come standard with Ford Co-Pilot360 driver assist technologies like pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, lane keeping system, auto high beams, and rearview camera. The Wrangler only comes standard with a backup camera and offers optional safety features like blind spot monitoring and rear parking sensors on higher trims.
With its impressive performance, advanced technology, and comprehensive safety features, the Ford Bronco is the clear winner over the Jeep Wrangler for SUV shoppers in the Hanover area. While the Wrangler remains a capable and iconic off-roader, the Bronco's modern upgrades and innovative features give it a clear advantage.
