2022 Ford Bronco Vs. Land Rover Defender: Owners' Perspectives! 

I was 100% cross shopping these two. If the Defender was $10K less I would have went for it, but at over $20k more than the Bronco, I had to go for the Bronco.

Love my Joe! Had to subscribe. You guys are great.

I absolutely crossed shopped these cars with the wrangler. All 3 have plenty of options between 60-75k.

I car shopped these 2. The Bronco feels like a big, somewhat substantial , lumbering American truck. Many cheap plastics inside, and a bouncy kind of pogo stick ride. It felt ok, but it had a quality of a Tonka Truck where all the pieces put together felt like, well, a lot of pieces put together but none of them necessarily worked together to make a complete package. The Land Rover Defender. I loved the look, the feel, the ride, the quality of interior components. I loved the way everything worked seamlessly together and made me feel very happy. I felt like I wanted to sleep in it for a weekend to make my final decision. Ok, to be honest. I've had 3 Land Rover products. A new 98 Defender, a new 02 Defender, and a 2014 Range Rover Evoque. All were relatively terrible in their reliability. The Evoque was awful. However, to this day, after a total of over 40 new vehicles in my life, even the Evoque made me excited to be in it every single time I had to drive it. Accept when it was leaving my stranded which it kind of did 2 times. Here I am again. Wanting a Land Rover Defender. I really really want one and in all likelihood I'll have one within the next couple of weeks. Am I concerned about the reliability ?. YES, very much so. Once I start paying the loan payment, I'll be highly pissed off if I get into a position like you did and I don't have it for a month. Hopefully it will be great. Land Rover ownership is like having a supermodel for a wife. Gorgeous to look at, lovely to make love to, just amazing to have her on your arm for all to see, BUT, she's unreliable, doesn't cook, complains about everything, always depressed, and just keeps letting you down. However once you dump her, you keep thinking about her and wishing she was back. I think that's a fair analogy. Land Rover definitely put something hypnotic in their vehicles and you keep coming back for more. LR, here I come again for another beating.

Another cool review from you guys not sure how u only have 700 subscribers but keep at it

Shit, I'm worried about parking next to someone in mine.

I drove both dozen of times. While Bronco looks larger, it’s actually shorter and narrower in both 2 and 4 dr. configurations. Yet, I did not find Defender roomier. There are Bronco with leather seats and Defenders without leather seats. Not to mention Broncos with marine grade vinyl seats. Not sure why would you worry less leaving Bronco in the parking lot? It’s hardly any more dent/scratch resistant than Defender. These cars cannot be compared since they completely different structurally. Neither they can be compared for their heritage. While Bronco is heavily modernised 4x4 from 60’s, the only thing Defender shares with it’s 70 year old history - name. And it does feel like you driving top heavy, unstable ‘house’.

This is a great video, you’re right, people are pricing and comparing both cars. TFL did this as well

It's a box, you gonna get wind noise. Buy a Corvette for aerodynamics. I just drove mine from Atlanta to Washington, D.C. and it was a dreamy journey.

I feel sorry for what Joe had to go through with an expensive car like his. Hope all the issues have been sorted Joe.

FYI, not totally uncommon for a company that has your leased car to pony up the cash. Kia did it for my moms Kia Niro EV when they were working on it for a month or waiting for parts...It should be expected in fact.

I hope you take the Bronco out!

Any day that Defender

Definitely the defender feels roomy with a comfy ride. The bronco feels cramped for how wide it is and drives like a truck, which it is. I as well feel weird about them getting compared often as they are both great but totally different vehicles. Bronco is more of a purpose built truck while the Defender is a great all around SUV. I'm lucky enough to own a defender which ive now modified to have 35" tires and a close buddy of mine has a Badlands Bronco. We go offroading together doing black diamond trails here in SoCal. So I've been able to compare both pretty well.

It's a great road trip car yet the lane keep assist and the ACC both suck. Sounds contradictory.

Why talking for almost half of the video that these cars aren't to compare when you do end up "comparing" them (where you should just say what's different) instead of just talking forever about that these 2 cars shouldn't be compared. Many people do consider 1 or another out of these 2 actually
