The Bronco is powered by a standard four-cylinder EcoBoost® turbocharged four-cylinder engine that gives you 300 horsepower vs. only 270 horsepower with the Wrangler's V6 power plant. Beyond that, the Bronco beats the Wrangler in terms of torque with 350 pound-feet compared with only 260 pound-feet for the Wrangler. The Bronco's 3.0-liter V6 can deliver 418 horsepower compared with the Wrangler 4xe that has only 375 horsepower.
A basic principle with transmissions is that the more gears it's built with, the smoother the ride. So it's significant that the Ford Bronco operates with a 10-speed automatic that surpasses the Jeep Wrangler with only an eight-speed automatic. If you compare manual transmissions, the Bronco has seven gears that provide more options while the Jeep Wrangler manual has only six gears. So the Bronco beats its well-known competition with more gears for both the manual and the automatic.
The new Ford Bronco has an amazingly strong off-road story to tell. Ford Bronco trim levels are designed with specific skill sets that work for a wide variety of off-roaders. A good example is the Everglades trim that's a good match for wet conditions.
The Ford Bronco Everglades trim gives Great Bend off-roaders as much as 11.7 inches of ground clearance, which is better than the comparable Jeep Wrangler Sahara that has only 10.8 inches of clearance. The Bronco Everglades model gives you 40.8 inches of water fording capability compared with the Jeep Wrangler Sahara that's limited to 30 inches. The Ford Bronco Raptor model comes out ahead of the comparable Jeep Wrangler Rubicon with more water fording capability and more ground clearance.
The new Ford Bronco has an advanced off-road suspension and a terrain management system with up to seven G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) modes. In addition, the Ford Bronco also comes with the HOSS (High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension) system.
The Bronco is available with two or four doors, softtop and hardtop body styles, and removable body panels. The Bronco's interior has innovations like a rack that's built into the top of that dashboard to provide a handy spot for smartphones and GoPros. It also comes with frameless doors that are easy to remove.
The Ford Bronco and the Jeep Wrangler both let you remove the top and doors but the Bronco has mirrors mounted on the cowl. That means that when you take off the doors, you get to keep the safety and convenience of your side mirrors. The Jeep Wrangler doesn't offer that benefit so it's another solid reason to seriously consider the Ford Bronco as the right off-road partner.
