  The Ford Bronco and the Jeep Wrangler are very similar when compared head-to-head. But which one would you rather live with?

  There's really no mystery. The bronco has all the advantages you'd expect from independent front suspension and the Jeep has all the advantages you'd expect from a solid axle.

  I went with the Sahara 4xe. I don't crawl rocks, but hit a lot of dirt trails around Las Vegas. The battery location of the 4xe gives it a much better center of gravity and I found it handled much better than a normal wrangler. The biggest drawback of the wrangler is highway noise so I use my other car for long road trips. The plug in hybrid was the clincher. I went 800 miles before needing to fill up my first month, and the under 6 seconds from 0-60 is a lot of fun.

  If you got stuck in 4H and it was due to complete loss of traction (2 wheels in the air), switching to 4L would do nothing for you. The first option should’ve been sway bar because that would drop the wheel on the ground. The 2nd option is lockers and the 3rd (for completeness) is taking a different line. There’s literally no reason not to have sway bar disconnected all the time while off-roading. It re-engages automatically.

  I’m a realtor in East TN so I have to be able to drive through and over everything! Snow, rain, rocks, mountains and paved roads. I drive a 2018 Jeep JLU manual transmission with a 2.5” lift and 35” tires. I don’t mind the noise, I invested in a $2500.00 amp and sound system. I know that I can get out of whatever I may get into and as a woman that gives me the kind of comfort that’s more important than the comfort the Bronco gives as a daily driver. So I think it depends on the person and what their needs are.

  The Bronco has independent front suspension, which is an articulation problem off-road on really rough terrain.  A "gotcha" that was not mentioned is that Bronco is a shade wider than the Wrangler, which means the Jeep can pass between trees where the Bronco may acquire some pin-striping or, worst case, actually stick a bit.  The Bronco is a little more citified than the Wrangler, more like the Land Rover Defender, which no longer remotely resembles its roots.  In terms of noise, the Wrangler is not that bad in the city.  On a freeway, different story, entirely.  Comfort is similar.  Wrangler seats are excellent, but the suspension is just harder.  But ... on surface streets, it isn't that much of an issue.

  I haven't seen much about rear seat comparison between Bronco and Wrangler. I have kids and rear sear comfort matters to me.

  I work at both a Ford and Jeep dealer. Both vehicles are amazing. Just got in a 392 Wrangler MSRP 81K!!   Crazy.  I purchased a Bronco because it will be a daily driver, definitely a better ride on road with more space.  No wrong choice, enjoy your ride!!
