4 Door Blues: Bronco vs Wrangler

[Broncobren]

Both 4 door

But nice comparison. I like the hard top and rear end of the Wrangler better but the front and side of the Bronco better. Gorgeous colors on both!

I really like the looks of the Bronco hardtop better....but functionally on the other hand.....

I have and love my Wrangler. The Wrangler hate here really annoys me much of the time. You're right though. It looks like the lesser vehicle

I have never owned a jeep and probably never will. I really love the bronco from its origins in 1965 as the ‘66 model until this latest version. That said, the jeep is and always will be an American icon with few equals. Regardless of how this reintroduction of the bronco eventually plays out, jeep need not make any apologies nor worry about having its rich legacy overshadowed. Most of all though, we are better off with two great examples of on and off road fun rather than one, because competition-healthy, respectful-competition is good. I will extend courtesy to and assist recovering if necessary a jeep owner anytime.

Bronco for the win!

Wow that's pretty close! I have a 2015 JKUR in Hydro Blue. I love that color and wanted to get my Bronco in Velocity Blue because of that. But I did Oxford White instead, just in case Velocity Blue became a constraint.

I loved my hydro blue so it was a hard decision but this is what i decided to do also, mine was a 14 polar edition unlimited hydro and i went with a 2 dr white OBX.

I have had 3 jeeps and 2 broncos in my life, currently I drive a 2012 JKUS and I do love/hate it. The thing is that the Bronco is the best thing to happen to the Wrangler in years.. Now Chrysler/Fiat will have to improve the wrangler and listen to there customers!!!!

Loving my Hydro Blue.

Two beautiful, capable vehicles pushing two competing companies to improve. I love it.

Y'all are almost making me miss my '15 JKU Unlimited in Hydro Blue. Almost...

The Jeep hate (mostly in good fun, I hope) isn’t surprising, since it’s a Bronco forum. What is surprising is the amount of Bronco hate on this forum!

I actually like the look of the Jeep, there's no reason to change it. The interior is also miles better than the Bronco, but that's not surprising as Ford's interiors are all crap, filled with cheap looking plastic.

Good post, I originally reserved a Badlands Velocity Blue, the better comparision would be a stock Badlands vs. a stock Rubicon (which I have). My reservation/order is now for an Eruption Green, I'll make a decision when it comes in. I've always had Jeeps, and honestly, I like the front of the Bronco better, but prefer the overall size and back/sides of the Jeep better. The one thing Ford has that I really like is stock Marine Grade Vinyl, I balanced this by equipping my JL with Armorlite and Bartact seat covers (great combo)

They are both great vehicles, no reason to hate on either.

Calling out Ford for their lousy quality interiors in all of their vehicles ( but especially one's that cost in excess of 60K ), is "hate"? Who knew... I guess we should only speak glowingly about Ford around here.

No more than saying Jeep styling looks dated is "hate". I think the word is pretty silly, actually, when it's being used to describe everyone's petty grievances with their $60K toys...

I love how much bigger the windows are in comparison.

The Jeep isn't a Rubicon and the Bronco is a Sasquatch, so of course the Bronco looks bigger/higher. Make the Jeep a Rubicon, especially with the new 35" package and the Jeep is actually just a bit taller. I have both of them in my driveway now.

I actually like the look of the Jeep, there's no reason to change it. The interior is also miles better than the Bronco, but that's not surprising as Ford's interiors are all crap, filled with cheap looking plastic. The one thing the Bronco has up on the Jeep is it's ride quality and handling; it's not even close.

YOU STOP BEING RATIONAL! This is the BRONCO forum where you need to find everything about the Jeep that you don't like!

I think both the Bronco and the Wrangler look fantastic in their respective blues even if this color wouldn't be my choice. For all of the talk about the Bronco being larger, it should also drive and feel larger instead of being the more nimble with better visibility Wrangler.

What we need is @Dusty ’s lifted and re- shod JKUR next to a Squatched Badlands. Comparing a Willys to a Badlands or a JKUR to a Base is apples to oranges.
