Engines and Everyday Performance
The Jeep Wrangler offers three gasoline engines:
- The 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine produces 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque, with an available six-speed manual transmission.
- The turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine produces 270 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque.
- The 6.4-liter HEMI V8 in the Jeep Wrangler 392 variant raises output to 470 horsepower and 470 pound-feet of torque.
The Ford Bronco also offers three engines:
- A 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine making 300 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque.
- An available 2.7-liter V6 engine produces 330 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque.
- A 3.0-liter turbocharged V6 engine in the Ford Bronco Raptor variant produces 418 horsepower and 440 pound-feet.
Drivers get more power from the V8 engine in the Jeep Wrangler, which the Ford Bronco doesn't match.
Off-Road Hardware
The Jeep Wrangler uses solid front and rear axles, helping its wheels maintain traction over uneven terrain. The Ford Bronco pairs independent front suspension with a solid rear axle, an arrangement that benefits steering and ride comfort on paved roads. Both SUVs offer locking differentials and substantial ground clearance when equipped with the appropriate options.
The Jeep Wrangler Rubicon adds Rock-Trac 4x4 with a 4:1 low-range transfer case, front and rear electronic locking differentials, and an electronic front sway-bar disconnect. That combination improves low-speed control and suspension articulation on rocky obstacles. Weekend explorers near Eden, NC, can put those features to work on rocky, designated off-road trails.
Open-Air Driving, Seating, and Cargo Space
The Jeep Wrangler and Ford Bronco SUVs both offer four-passenger, two-door and five-passenger, four-door body styles. The Jeep Wrangler 2-Door is shorter at 166.8 inches, compared with 173.7 inches for the Ford Bronco. The compact dimensions make it more agile on narrow trails and obstacles. The 2-Door option offers up to 31.7 cubic feet of cargo space, compared with 52.0 cubic feet in the Ford Bronco. Both SUVs have removable doors and roof panels, but the Jeep Wrangler adds a fold-down windshield for a truly open-air experience on the backroads near Danville, VA.
The four-door styles for both SUVs offer more rear-seat space, easier access, and greater cargo capacity. The Jeep Wrangler 4-Door measures 188.4 inches long and offers up to 72.4 cubic feet of cargo space when the rear seats are folded. The four-door Ford Bronco measures 189.4 inches long and offers up to 83.0 cubic feet of cargo space with its soft-top. The Jeep Wrangler gives shoppers a choice between a compact two-door trail vehicle and a more spacious four-door SUV, with removable doors, multiple roof options, and traditional Jeep styling in either configuration.
Technology Features and Towing Capability
Every Jeep Wrangler features a 12.3-inch Uconnect touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. Available amenities include heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, adaptive cruise control, and an off-road camera on select models. The Ford Bronco offers a 12-inch center display and optional trail cameras.
Driving near Greensboro, NC, calls for straightforward navigation and comfortable seating. The Jeep Wrangler meets those needs, and its off-road equipment. Properly equipped four-door Jeep Wrangler Rubicon models can also tow up to 5,000 pounds, compared with 4,500 pounds for the Ford Bronco Raptor.
