Venturing through an overgrown trail or climbing your way up a steep slope is easier than ever, thanks to the well-developed off-roading vehicles on the market.
For trails around Pocono Pines, Blakeslee, Scranton, Tobyhanna, and Mount Pocono, the Ford Bronco vs. Jeep Wrangler is becoming an ever-important debate. Each SUV comes with modern equipment and the capability to travel deep into the wilderness.
With the Ford Bronco only recently returning, our Ray Price Ford team wants to help locals understand what the SUV is about. So, comparing the Bronco and Wrangler will give you an idea of how these iconic models stack up!
How Does the Performance Measure Up?
Having a strong motor under the hood of your off-roading companion is going to come in handy, whether you're fording through water or are trying to crawl your way out of some muck. With the Jeep Wrangler, a quartet of engine options gives you more diversity than the Bronco lineup, yet the Ford SUV offers more in the way of power.
The strongest engine for the Bronco is a 2.7L EcoBoost® arrangement, offering 310 horsepower. Whether you pair it with the 7-speed manual transmission or the 10-speed automatic, you're getting an eager and reliable motor.
None of the Jeep Wrangler motors are able to touch 300 horsepower, with the strongest being a 285-horsepower 3.6L V6.
Creating Room for Cargo & Supplies
As you head farther and farther from the civilized world, your SUV is going to be responsible for storing supplies, luggage, and other valuable cargo. Both the Ford Bronco and the Jeep Wrangler come in either 2-door or 4-door setups. When choosing the 4-door option, it's the Ford SUV that does a better job prioritizing cargo space.
Behind the first row of the 4-door 2021 Ford Bronco, you can store as much as 77.6 cubic feet of cargo. Using just the trunk behind the second-row seats leaves you with 35.6 cubic feet of cargo space.
For Jeep, the 4-door arrangement provides just 72.4 cubic feet of total cargo capacity and 31.7 cubic feet of cargo behind the second-row seats.
Settling Yourself Inside the Cabin
Now that you know how much room the 2021 Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler create for cargo, it's good to know how much space you're going to have behind the wheel.
With the Ford Bronco, you can expect as much as 43.1 inches of front row legroom and 56.3 inches of front-row hip room. With Jeep, the front hip room is just 53.9 inches, while the front legroom measures 41.2 inches.
In all, the passenger volume for the 4-door Wrangler reaches just 104 cubic feet, while the 4-door Bronco provides as much as 108.2 cubic feet!
Ford Bronco is Roomier & Stronger Than the Jeep Wrangler
With a more inviting cabin and more oomph under the hood, it's easy to see why folks near Tobyhanna, Mount Pocono, Scranton, Blakeslee, and Pocono Pines are favoring the 2021 Ford Bronco over the Jeep Wrangler.
