I have a 2021 First edition and Love it, I will not get rid of it, but my next one is a Raptor. I think the Bronco and Jeep compliment each other, competition is a good thing... However the Bronco seats are the best seats you will ever sit in no joke. AIRDOWN your tires.
Great points! I agree 💯 We can't wait to try a new JL Rubicon to compare the two. Our older Jeep isn't a close enough comparison. Thank you for watching
Interesting you mentioned the sliding thing. My friends Bronco has the same issue. Just for comparison, he’s running the Nitto Ridge Grapplers. Even at 20psi, I’ve seen it slide on obstacles I’ve had no issue with in my 2019 JLU
Q: "Bronco Review - Is it a Wrangler Killer??" A: No. What one can do so can the other. Not a huge difference performance-wise. I went with Jeep though...had zero interest in anything Ford, let alone any Bronco even if it HAD been out when I got my Jeep (April 2021). However, I have a Gladiator (Rubi) not a Wrangler. ;-) -- BR
@@wheeledlyfe Thanks. Due to needing at least 5000lbs towing-capacity, and looking for something in the mid-size segment (and with a gas N-A V6 engine, no turbo 4, V8 or even diesel) I was restricted to the mid-size TRUCK segment, as mid-size SUVs (Jeep Wrangler/Bronco) could only tow 3500lbs -- not that useful. I don't tow often, true, but when I do I need a decent tow-rating so I can tow WAY BELOW capacity (for a couple of reasons), not near or at capacity. The only other contender at the time (in 2021) was a Chevy Colorado ZR2...but I couldn't even get one (but tried) due to GM's chip-shortage, with "no ETA date available" a GM representative told me. So I bailed on the ZR2 (and got my $1K deposit back from John Elway Chevrolet in Englewood CO!)... Also, I wanted my vehicle to be "serious 4x4/off-road-focused" so the other "normal" mid-size trucks like the Ranger, Canyon, Colorado, Frontier (etc.) weren't considered evne (if they had 4x4). And no Toyota Tacoma, either. So yeah, the Gladiator was the winner "by default" as it was the only one left on my Short List! Still, it's turned out to be the best choice (for my needs/wants) after all. Jeep Wave ("It's a Jeep Thing") ...even if you have a Bronco. ;-) -- BR
@@billredding2000 We have a 2009 JKU. The Bronco was just a test drive for the day. 😁 But we still loved driving it. Love the Gladiators with the max towing package! So true! A beast off road and with towing capability! It's a win win! Gotta get a gladiator to tow our JKU! 😄😄
@@wheeledlyfe Oops...my mistake! I think this is the first video I've seen of yours so I didn't know your background and just "assumed" (incorrectly). That, and i need to pay more attention (listening comprehension). Sorry... I've never even driven a Bronco, but one reason I like Jeeps better is they're "skinnier" than wider off-road vehicles and "skinnier" is better for the tight trails/mountain passes of Colorado (when I lived there recently) -- less pin-striping. FULL-size trucks are just too big, heavy and obese. ;-) Here in West TX (ELP) however, it's almost wide-open desert so I guess a Gladiator Mojave would be the better choice, but I got my Rubi in CO, and it's still fine in the desert...and the sometimes deep, soft sand -- haven't gotten stuck (well, not YET!). Oh, and I like that Jeeps can be towed with all wheels down, too...one reason they're a favorite of RVers when they look for a toad. -- BR
