Here at Team Welsh Jeep Chrysler located in Far Hills, NJ, it’s imperative to us that our customers are able to make an informed decision when picking out their next car. That’s why we’ve taken the time to compare the Jeep Wrangler with one of its main competitors, the Ford Bronco. Read on to discover which one is right for you.
Performance
The Ford Bronco comes with a wide range of powertrain options: a base 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine that produces up to 300 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque, a 2.7-liter V6 engine that offers 330 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque, and a twin-turbocharged 3-liter V6 engine that accommodates 418 horsepower and 440 pound-feet of torque. And while this vehicle clearly offers a good chunk of power, it supplies surprisingly low fuel economy, with a rating as low as 15 miles-per-gallon, one of the lowest in its class.
The Jeep Wrangler, on the other hand, boasts an all-electric range of 49 miles per gallon with the Jeep Wrangler 4xe model. On top of this, it also features a vast array of engine options, including the Rubicon 392, which supplies more power than any powertrain belonging to its competitor: 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque.

Off-Roading
The Jeep Wrangler is ready for whatever adventure you want to take it on. This vehicle comes with many off-roading features, including a two-speed transfer case, robust skid plates, and available rock rails, suspension, and steel bumpers. But that’s not all. Also standard is up to 12.8 inches of ground clearance and 33.5 inches of water fording capability.
The Ford Bronco comes with slightly less ground clearance at 8.3 inches, and, while it comes equipped with durable skid plates, it simply doesn’t come outfitted with quite as many off-roading features as its competitor. If you are looking to truly command the roads, the Jeep Wrangler is the way to go.
Pricing
When looking at price, you’re likely to get more bang for your buck with the Jeep Wrangler. This vehicle is available for a starting price of $31,195, while the Ford Bronco costs $34,595. And while both cars come in a wide range of trim levels and configurations that vary in price, when taking entry-level pricing into consideration, the Jeep Wrangler is the clear winner.
Reliability
Let’s face it: everyone wants a reliable car, and in this department, the Jeep Wrangler takes the cake. This vehicle is projected to snag a reliability score of 86 out of 100 on the J.D. Power scale, against its competitor’s 77.
What’s more, the Jeep Wrangler also boasts a more attractive warranty. This vehicle comes with a standard warranty that covers 3 years or 36,000 miles, a powertrain warranty that is good for 5 years or 60,000 miles, a hybrid system warranty that covers 8 years or 100,000 miles, a hybrid battery warranty that covers 8 years or 100,000 miles, complimentary roadside assistant that is good for 5 years or 60,000 miles, and complimentary scheduled maintenance that lasts for 3 years. The Ford Bronco, on the other hand, does not come with complimentary scheduled maintenance, and only provides a standard warranty of 3 years or 36,000 miles, a powertrain warranty of 5 years or 60,000 miles, and roadside assistance that is good for 5 years or 60,000 miles.
