Arrived in 1966 in Montérégie , Cowansville , St-Jean-sur-Richelieu and everywhere else in Quebec, to disappear in 1996, the Ford Bronco 2021 resurfaces and as we can see, it plays in the flower beds of the Jeep Wrangler 2021 . The latter was created in 1941 for the US military and it was not until 1945 that they were produced for the public. Since then, the Wrangler alone represents the pinnacle of all-terrain vehicle and enthusiasts particularly appreciate its unique style recognizable among all. All healthy competition is said to be good, and it is with this in mind that we present you a Bronco vs Wrangler comparison., to determine which of the two is the best SUV.

Choice of versions: 1 point for the Wrangler 2021

In the 2021 Bronco catalog there are 6 models; Base, Big Bend, Black Diamond, Badlands, Outer Banks, and WildTrak. Prices range from a little over $ 40,000 to just under $ 57,000 and just like its opponent, you can remove the roof and the doors. The Wrangler 2021offers you no less than 16 models, namely the Sport, Willys Sport, Sport S, Islander, Willys, 80th Anniversary Edition, Unlimited Sport 80th Anniversary Edition, Rubicon and Rubicon 392 coming soon, Unlimited Sport S, Unlimited Islander, Unlimited Sport Altitude , Unlimited Willys, Unlimited Sahara, Unlimited Sahara Altitude, Unlimited Rubicon and Unlimited Sahara High Altitude, from just over $ 34,000 to just over $ 56,000. Almost $ 6,000 separates the base variants, but what exactly justifies this difference? Let's see.

Less for more? The new Jeep Wrangler definitely.

Manual air conditioning, an 8-inch screen and Sirius XM, seem to be the only extra features the Bronco has to offer . They share keyless access with push button start, rear view camera and fabric upholstery. The 2021 Jeep Wrangler offers you more than the Bronco , for almost $ 6,000 less, needless to say; fog lights, 17-inch wheels versus 16, 8 speakers versus 6, hill start assist and electronic anti-roll and an engine block heater, to name just a few.

The engines of the two SUVs

Under the Bronco's hood nestles the 270-horsepower 2.3-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine for 310 lb-ft of torque or the 310-hp 2.7-liter turbocharged V6 engine for 400 lb-ft of torque. A 7-speed manual transmission or a 10-speed automatic are available. Aside from the 6.4-liter, 470-hp V8 engine for the same lb-ft that the Rubicon 392 will feature, other engines include the 285-hp 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 available with eTorque technology, the 270 horsepower 2.0-liter turbo 4-cylinder and 260-horsepower 3.0-liter Ecodiesel V6 engine.

Capabilities: The new Wrangler is awesome!

The Bronco is equipped with a Ford traction management system called GOAT (for "Go Over Any Terrain"). This system offers 5 driving modes, Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery (slippery) and Sand (sand). The high-end versions will be blessed with more sophisticated modes like Baja, Mud / Ruts (Mud / Ruts) and Rock Crawl (Rocks). The Wrangler , on the other hand, is equipped with the Command-Trac 4x4 system, the Selec-Trac constant-mesh 4x4 system and the Rock-Trac 4x4 system. No need to brag about its legendary off-road prowess.

The Undisputed Master: The 2021 Jeep Wrangler

Another point on which the Jeep has a good head start is certainly its excellent resale value. Indeed, even used, Wranglers retain a very good resale value. Can the same be said of the Ford Bronco ? It remains to be seen, but one thing is certain, is that Jeep enthusiasts will not be seduced so easily by the blue oval.

Since the Ford Bronco has to prove itself, since it is much more expensive than the Wrangler and does not have its notoriety, and since its reliability remains to be seen, it is a safe bet that the Wrangler will not lose any of its popularity. We have to admit that the new Bronco has a good face, but will it be enough to dislodge the undisputed master of the off-road? Only time will tell, but if the desire for freedom and driving off the beaten track of Cowansville and St-Jean in Montérégie tickles you, come and discover the remarkable qualities of the new Wrangler at your place.Bessette Automobiles dealership today.
