Lite Brite did one with a slightly modded Bronco (custom lift and bigger tires) and they made sure to remind folks that their wrangler has about 100K mods to it so you couldn't do a straight up comparison. Though they where pretty legit with the review. What I keep hating is they keep trying to compare the Bronco Sport to the Cherokee. Sorry it's stats are way closer to the Renegade not the Cherokee. Cherokee sits more in the middle of the two Bronco models.

The Lite Brite comparison demonstrated that IFS suspension on the Bronco is inferior to solid axle when it comes to rock crawling as the solid axle is much stronger. IFS works great on road and open high speed desert running as it rides smother. It comes down to what you want to do with your rig.
@dupton80002 жыл бұрын
Lite-Brite also took their non-modified fully stock Rubicon on all the same Trails they tested the Bronco on before they modded out their now very capable Rubicon. And can I mention they quickly modified their Rubicon stepchild Wrangler from 35 to 38 with a VERY inexpensive lift. And the step child performed flawlessly. It can be done and has been done with the Bronco but get ready to empty the savings account. IFS is $$$

At 7:40 the Bronco took a line more to the right. That avoided the front passenger tire from going down into the hole a few inches to the left. You can clearly see that hole at 8:15 on the Wrangler approach, and the Wrangler passenger tire going into it.

Sooo, youre saying the vehicle is lighter? lol......negative... Lifting a vehicle effects the center of gravity making it less stable in off camber situations... Sway bars can affect weight distribution to individual tires. Nothing about the center of gravity makes the vehicle weigh less.

Tell Ferd to replace the sway-bar disconnect with a unit that, upon entering that mode, mechanically drives the opposite wheel down in proportion to the compression of one front wheel like a solid axle does. All it takes is some sensors and software for the best traction all day.. Then, go full independent suspension for a comfy ride and precise on-road handling, and you still have "solid axle" like off-road performance when you want it in the boonies at the push of a button. All it takes is money, I suppose. And smart engineering. Great honest comparison, thank you.

@12:37 I have seen this a time or two where stock Jeeps out perform Jeeps and other vehicles with bigger lifts and in this case, tires. Go back to 33's, that's what makes these stock Rubicons so appealing. You never have to mess with expensive geometry mods. They can do amazing things especially in the hands of a competent driver with common sense and good off-road instincts. I have a modest 2.5" lift with 32" ko2's on my '05 TJ Rocky Mtn and it's an amazing TJ on and off road. The Fox Shox and Fox steering stabilizer have this TJ performing extremely well.

I feel ya there as a hardcore wheeler myself but the driving impressions are night and day between the wrangler and the bronco. Very few people are going to need the solid axle vs what many complain about the wrangler is that it isn't fun to drive and anything approaching 80 just isn't fun. I had out 4 door badlands sasquatch doing 100+ (say that in a Jeep!) and it was fantastic at that speed, it's hard to think for how sporty and well it handles that it is on 35's. I know I'm going to pickup a 2 door for my daily/wheeler and I'll see how far the IFS goes and swap to a Super 44 when the IFS gets expensive to keep together.

But it doesn't have all four tires firmly on the ground... It's diving on the sidewall of the front passenger tire ... Solid axle is not better... It just usually has more suspension travel simply because the fulcrum is on the other side of the car instead of in the middle of the car... That's pretty much where it ends... One of the reasons that independent suspension was built was to keep both tires flat on the ground. That's the point.

Amature......stock tj stock tires, (swaybar discoed) No damage. Gold bar rim. Poison spider. Flat iron mesa. 7 mile rim. Wipeout hill. Metal masher. Gemini bridge before it was closed. Ect..... Your "stuck" jeep was not on the same line. Damn near a whole tire width off. If you could not tell that the front tire and back tire were trying to climb an edge at the same time as the reason It was struggling you really need to learn how to off road. However.....(sadly) this was one of the best and fairest matched comparison videos I have seen. Keep it up.

I think both are good. My only concern with the Bronco is they made it over complicated for no reason. Why all these terrain settings that are run by a computer program? You either need four wheel drive or you don't in my opinion, but I also drive a manual transmission with manual locks and windows.
@drivenmad20893 жыл бұрын
Yep I don’t use any of the modes at all. I just put in in 4L and choose myself if I want lockers or not. I wish they would’ve offered a manual with the V6 since my wrangler is a manual but oh well Thanks for watching!

Bronco Sasquatch is a nice package for beginners.. Itll never be able to compete with the wrangler unless you heavily modify it.. Like completely doing away with the IFS

I appreciate Ford's suspension and new technology/design, but can't help but think 35's are too large for the vehicle. I had a '77 Bronco with 31"x10.5"x15" and they were plenty large for the small vehicle.

Glad you liked the video! And the verdict is still out. The bronco is more comfortable in road but the help weirdly is quieter on road haha. Once we’ve hit a few more trails and more road trips I might have a more definitive answer. Thanks for watching!

I think you need to have both rigs with the same tires. That way you eliminate that. That way it’s drive train against drive train wheel base against wheel base etc….

@bryanwolfe93503 жыл бұрын
Nice job, great to see an owner produced side by side comparison. I've been a Jeep guy for 15 years both west coast and east coast. Some comments and questions Jeep: 1) it sounds like the Jeep JL drivetrain still has that well known mechanical slapping when in low range under load, between the transfer case and drive shafts. 2) I also think the decreased climbing performance your now seeing is due to the lift, you have a higher center of gravity now, and different spring rate. Bronco 1) I'm impressed with how well balanced and controlled the drivetrain is, very solid. 2) The articulation is better than many thought, I'm impressed, but I think there is room to improve. Of the two, which one gave you a better sense of footing, roll, and steering/traction in the more challenging parts of the trail? Thanks for doing this series, looking forward to seeing more! 🙂
@drivenmad20893 жыл бұрын
Glad you enjoyed the video! Now you your points, The jeep definitely has a louder drivetrain lash. the bronco has it every now and then but never that loud. could also be due to the fact that its a manual. and I agree with you on the second point. might need to find a lift that's a bit softer sprung. With the bronco it has way more articulation than i thought. its cool seeing that they set up the front suspension softer to allow for more flex. Now as far as which one felt better on trail. it really depends. on more stair step style obstacles, the Bronco felt better as far as grip and control on tight narrow sections the jeep feels more comfortable and on extreme flex scenarios the jeep has it beat. i plan on taking both and them individually on more trails out in Moab and Colorado hopefully soon. Thanks for watching!

Excellent. Bronco comes in as the (IFS) underdog and hangs with the king. One subtle difference, 20 PSI tire pressure on a lighter vehicle will give a smaller contact patch than 20 PSI on a heavier vehicle. Enough to make a difference? Perhaps.
@drivenmad20893 жыл бұрын
I definitely think the tire pressures played a factor for sure. Thanks for watching!
