New Ford Bronco vs. 2024 Jeep Wrangler

2024 Ford Bronco vs. Jeep Wrangler: Compare Off-Road-Ready 4x4s in Hicksville, OH

The Ford Bronco is a legendary off-road nameplate and was among the most highly anticipated vehicles leading up to its 2021 return. Four years later, it's still at the top of its game, continuing to prove that the hype was more than justified. In fact, the Bronco's well-rounded blend of terrain-tackling tenacity and daily livability helped it garner back-to-back Car and Driver 10Best awards (2022, 2023). While the Bronco's primary competitor, the Jeep Wrangler, boasts a formidable pedigree of its own, there are still a few attributes it can't match. Here's a quick look at some of the highlights.

Ford Bronco vs. Jeep Wrangler: Performance

The Ford Bronco's standard engine is a 2.3-liter EcoBoost® turbo-four with 300 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque. It's stronger than either of the Wrangler's primary options: a 3.6-liter V6 (285 horsepower/260 pound-feet of torque) and a 2.0-liter turbo-four (270 horsepower/295 pound-feet of torque).

Want something even more potent? A 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6 (330 horsepower/415 pound-feet of torque) is available for most Bronco trim levels, while the Bronco Raptor unleashes a 3.0-liter variant with 418 horsepower/440 pound-feet of torque). The Wrangler's optional 6.4-liter V8 (470 horsepower, 470 pound-feet of torque) is exclusive to the Rubicon 392).

The Ford Bronco comes standard with terrain-ready upgrades like a shift-on-the-fly electronic transfer case, High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension (HOSS), and a Terrain Management System with at least five G.O.A.T.® modes. Available enhancements include electronic-locking front and rear axles, disconnecting stabilizer bars, Bilstein or FOX suspension dampers, and much more.

While the Jeep Wrangler can be configured for challenging terrain, it can't match the Bronco's equipment on a trim-for-trim basis.
