Is the 2024 Jeep Wrangler BETTER than a Ford Bronco?

To honest with you, I really like the changes Jeep did on the Wrangler, especially the max towing capacity being increased to 5,000 lbs. But I still think the Bronco is really cool with no beam in the way.

@5:08 What I love the most about the Wranglers,aside from the fact that they've got a good range of engine options,is that she's an all-around multipurpose cruiser that preserves the look of the original GI Jeep and allows you to indulge in your off-roading impulses. This,with the 392 engine is the only off-road SUV that I would seriously consider.

[@jrparker4804]

I agree. I had a 2015 Wrangler with a V6 and it was an absolute “dog”. So slow, so disappointing every time I jumped into it after riding in my Ram with a Hemi. A V8 should be the standard, not an optioned out $85k version of the Wrangler.

[@craigsmith6446]

4:50 agreed, the Wrangler just looks right. The 4 door Bronco is too disproportioned. I think this way about the Jeep Gladiator too, in my opinion it just looks too long, too odd shaped. The wrangler is "just right", not too big, not too small.

Ford Bronco was the best t hing that happend to Jeep. Jeep finally woke up and started modernizing the Wrangler. Couple things I wish they'd do different: 1) 35" wheels from the factory, 2) Air compressor in almost all models 3) Scree in the rear headrest, 4) Front and Rear parking sensors on almost all models, 5) Heated and Cooled seats, front and rear, 6) Cloth covered ceiling, or at least paint it black, 7) Better Insulation and sount proff, 8) Make the rear door a little longer, thus the whole wrangler a bit longer, by like 6" so that it's possible for a full size person to get in and out, 9) Make all doors like Ford Bronco, so they become half doors if you roll the window down. No reason people should buy half doors just to have half doors, 10) A 2" lift on all models, with better suspension. Additionally I would say please please please improve quality of interior and exterior. Quality suffers like crazy. This vehicle can be one of the most desirable if they just improve quality. Or lover the price by at least 25%

I love the changes they made. They were necessary and I’m sure there’s a lot of jeep owners out there shouting “it’s about time”. The red panel on the interior of the rubicon just felt out of place and the front end started to feel “boring”, especially after the bronco came out. Even the screen looked outdated, and it was. My only wishes were they revisited the design of the top with the beam straight down the middle. If they were able to do a little more to remove that, I would have loved that. I think it would have been interesting to allow the option to add front and rear locking diffs available to all trim levels (like the bronco with Sasquatch) would also make jeep more affordable for those that don’t want to pay 60/70K for more capability.
