- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 พ.ค. 2024
- The Jeep Wrangler never really had any true competition in the market - that is, until Ford reintroduced the Bronco a few years ago and it instantly became a hit, digging into Wrangler sales. For 2024, though, Jeep’s given the Wrangler a refresh that further modernizes the off-road SUV in a bid to make it even more competitive with the Bronco. But is it enough? We put both through a series of challenges to find out. Join Edmunds’ Jason Lewis in our comparison test video above for the results!

We know we're dealing with two camps of people here, and there's nothing we can do or say to change your minds. So instead, what's something about the OTHER vehicle in our challenge that surprised you? That's right, we want to see if y'all can say anything nice about the other team. Let us know in the comments below!
This guy's kind of annoying. Where are the regular reviewers?
I picked Bronco specifically for IFS and on-road manners. That's where we are going to live with it most, despite going off-road a couple of weekends a month. That said, props to Jeep for firing a volley in the tow wars with the full-float axle. 5,000 lbs opens up a lot of opportunity for towing. I can see Ford engineering scrambling to match. Offering the integrated Warn winch is cool, too, for those that would want it. The Bronco Badlands offers the most off-road capabilities that 99.5% of people will need and is still very civilized on-road. Most Jeep (and probably Bronco) owners are pavement pounders and would probably be better off with a more street-friendly trim.
I'll bite...Ford can't figure their shit out when it comes to building and delivering their products.
Anyone can buy or order the Jeep of their dreams and get it!
Wow! What a concept!
Ford needs to figure it out
@@twany442 oh good, I wasn’t the only one thinking this.
I like the screen in the jeep but I’m definitely for the Bronco. I think it looks better then the jeep and just all around solid at whatever you do with it
The Bronco was the best thing to happen to the Jeep. Both are great and the real winner is……. Who ever buys either one
I was having a bad week due to car issues so I test drive both. The bronco was nice but that Jeep was a vibe and put me in a good mood I don’t know how to explain it. it just made me feel like I was living life. So I got a 24 rubicon X 💙
I felt the exact same way. I liked the bronco, but I loved the Jeep. Something about it put a real smile on my face that I didn’t quite get from the bronco. I’m now waiting for my Rubicon X to be delivered any day now.
I just drove them both this week…thought the ‘24 Rubicon X was awesome…shockingly good on the road and comfortable….also really liked the Bronco….I ended up buying a Bronco Badlands largely because it was harder to find one at MSRP….the thrill of the hunt?
Ha! Good on ya! Have fun!
Omg!!! Awesome!! Welcome to the Jeep family! They are so fun! I just got a 2024 Wrangler.
My friend, I bought the new Pilot Elite 2023 and after using it for 3 months, I felt bored, and driving was a bland experience. I test drove the 2024 Wrangler Rubicon X 4xe yesterday morning, and I was instantly smiling and laughing 🎉! As if I had found a car that was built to suit my personality. Long story short, I traded in the new Pilot for it. I couldn’t be happier!!! Totally know how you felt!
All jeep owners (including me) should love and be thanking the bronco tbh. The segment really needed competition and the bronco is a solid alternative in my eyes. Just depends what you want out of a vehicle.
Agreed. I’ve owned Wranglers on and off (mostly on) since 1996 and they’ve never had a reason to step their game up….
@@Wrangzilla Jeep had to step up their game to compete against the Hummer 4-doors...; that is where the Wrangler 4-door came from. Competition is good.
I have a 4 door Bronco and love it. I think it's a better looking truck and more comfortable. But every time i see a Jeep i must say it is a special vehicle! So much history and so many different options and modifications. Great review.
But Ford sucks so badly on resale and have frequent recalls
@@bzgent Let people enjoy things
@@bzgentyou should learn to just let people be happy without adding negativity
It’s not a truck
Tough call, both SUVs have their strengths and weaknesses. It's really hard to pick a "bad" choice in this segment.
To each their own, I would never trade my 392 Wrangler for a Bronco, not even a Raptor, but I do appreciate the fact that Ford brought back the Bronco and raised the bar so Jeep went all out and finally did the 392! And don't get me wrong I do like the Bronco, but the Wrangler is just better for me 🤟Great video tho 👏
Let’s all be thankful that your get a 392 to compete with the Bronco.
Not everyone wants a 30 year loan to be able to afford one lol
I drive a Bronco and my wife drives a Jeep. We like them both. Recently we went to Jeep Invasion in Pigeon Forge, TN and the number of Jeeps easily outnumbered the Broncos at the super cel we attended in April. Good to have choices. Thanks for the review.
❤"Good to have choices" 👏
Well, Wranglers have been sold for as long as I can remember, and Broncos since 2021. But you get it right, good to have choices.
Well ya, the jeeps have been around for like ever, and the broncos were just brought back a few years ago.
I was there as well this summer. IT was amazing. I have a Jeep Ruibcon 2022. But holy Jeeps down there. We went not for that but it was cool to see. One day we will go for the Jeep Invasion and bring my Jeep.
So the jeeps at a JEEP event outnumbered a different vehicle??? Ya don’t say…🙄
I have a 2021 2 Door Bronco BigBend with Sasquatch package and V6. I love it. It’s my real life Tonka truck.
Competition has pushed these two to be so good.
Great review man. Give us more content like this please!
Never owned a single Fjord product in my life ... until this Bronco came along! I used to be a Jeep worshipper ... no longer. Great video!
I'm still pining for the Fjords.
@@jessica0321 Are you seriously considering they should ... "inbreed"?
I was on the Bronco train until I was ready to buy. I'm glad I bought the Rubicon.
Let’s hope the new competition will improve the quality in both.
I don’t know which car I want now 😭
I love Jeep Wranglers but I’m starting to fall for the Bronco
you wont regret a bronco, I have never loved a vehicle more!
@@manmadecandles1596 Okay.
my wife bought the Heritage Limited in Yellowstone color...just wow factor driving it.
When you do that articulation test, it would have been good to have an additional camera to see how far either back tire got lifted. I could tell from the front view that the Bronco surely lifted well off the ground on the passenger side on your pass. I do love the look of the Bronco, and I have an older Rubicon. Nice review, of things that actually matter to people buying these. Well done!
I have a 4dr badlands Sasquatch - so much fun, and I like how open the roof is
I would have liked a price comparison. This was a good comparison between the two vehicles. I guess one consideration might be how close a particular dealer might be in relation to where you live.
Great video guys. Initially i was leaning Jeep hard but after this review im torn. I really like the ease of door removal and stowage on the Bronco. Plus the interior is a lot better to. A price comparioson was the only thing missing from this comparison. Thanks great job!
Jeep wrangler, no question! For prolonged off-road adventures there is no substitute. Great effort from Ford. I am glad that the Bronco is out there. I had the pleasure of driving both.
Pretty good test with the bottle of water. Think I'm going to try it with my Mo-chine. I'm surprised that the wrangler didn't take a few more questions from the desert runner.
I went with a two door Badlands 💪
That's peak Bronco right there! 😁
Yep , love my 2dr Badlands also .
I have a 2-door big Bend but eventually I will also have gladiator with the towing package.
Nice choice man
At 4:30 you say that the full float rear axle is available some Rubicon trims. In fact, the full float rear axle is standard on all Rubicon trims. What is confusing a lot of people, even "professional" reviewers is the tow rating is 5000 lbs only with the I4 and V6 with 4.56 rear end. However, even the Rubicon trims with 4.88s or powertrains such as 392, 4xe etc have the full floating rear axle.
I have a 22 Wrangler High Tide and have been thinking of getting a ‘24 Willys with Extreme package, but also have a factory order in for a Bronco Heritage (NOT Limited) that is going to production as soon as the strikes end. Which should I get? The ‘24 Wrangler Willys with Extreme package or Bronco Heritage??
I've owned 8 Jeeps over the years so I've got lots of experience with owning them. The newest Jeep I owned was a 2022 Rubicon Xtreme Recon I ordered new, & I recently bought a new 2024 Bronco Wildtrack. There are advantages to both, but the main selling point on the Bronco for me was the interior and comfort as a daily driver, since that's what I use it for mostly. The only slightly negative thing I have to say about Jeeps is just lack of comfort as I do a lot of interstate driving, otherwise they're great vehicles. The Bronco is just superior on the road, not only the interior comfort, but the on-road feel.
I love them both & still have a highly modified 2004 TJ for off road playing.
Both can have doors and roofs easily removed. Both can do amazing on the trail. If all you're doing is maybe 5 or 6 rated trail, Bronco is probably better daily driver - more gears, and IFS gives better riding and handling. The Wrangler is superior in the rocks, and the Willys and Rubicon can fit up to 38" tires with no drivetrain upgrades from the factory - no need to worry about fragile tie rods like the Broncos have to deal with. But if you're not going bigger than 35s and not doing super technical rock crawling, a Bronco will likely be the easier vehicle to live with. And I say this as a Wrangler owner.
So you saying, new tie rods are not needed to run 38s on a stock jeep??? I call bs
Very few people have broken tie rods on a Bronco. You make the assumption that it is from a false pretense that solid axles are more durable. If that’s the case, than why is almost every modern military vehicle equipped with an independent suspension? With the exception of high rated trails which no stock vehicle can be confident on, either the Bronco or Wrangler will be more than enough. The Bronco will be more comfortable and the Wrangler will have better traction on some obstacles, but other than that they accomplish the same task.
Calling the Jeep a bit of a bucking bronco during the water bottle test was really funny.
Just to let you know trail turn assist is only mentioned to help you around tight corners not to tear up the trails witch is a good thing
Jason you better be making auto edits as well!
Woah!!! Jason!!!! How this is a permanent thing.
Love my '18 Sahara and it's with us for the long haul. But there is no denying the head turning looks (yes I'm aware that it's Jeepish) and updated daily driver capabilities of the Bronco. With the right package and trim line, it's a must have, and I plan to buy one next year.
I have a wanted a new Bronco since about 1978 or there about. I didn't like the change to the sawed off pickup truck. Well, now I have a 23 Bronco Big Bend, traded in my 2020 Colorado ZR2 Bison diesel. The ZR2 was much more capable but I didn't really need it. Love the Bronco. It is great on trips. I've had it since March and no off road, just dirt roads so far. Being a BB it didn't have any real skids, just plastic junk. So I've added some skids to everything except the fuel tank. I will hopefully do that soon. I also have a jeep, well, it is a Ford, a 1942 Ford GPW. I went to buy a modern jeep several years ago and surprisingly it didn't feel much wider than the 1942! I love the jeep Rubicon but not enough to buy one. About the video which was great, what was the total "tons" of each vehicle. LOL. Also, it was obvious the jeep was a Rubicon but what was the Bronco. Disconnecting sway bar suggests First Edition or Badlands?
The overhead Aux switches are the only thing I liked better about the Bronco, but that easy enough to change on the Jeep.
I own a 2 door JL Rubi. I ordered a 2 Door BadLands. I am keeping the Jeep though.
Curious to see how the redesigned Land Cruiser will do against these 2
That will be interesting. I think it will do okay. People love the Land Cruiser and if it is at a lower price point than the ridiculous Wrangler then it'll do great
@@vigilantemotors I agree, the Redesign was the best thing they could have done to keep the land cruiser in the market and introduce it into a different segment. The wrangler always sold well, the bronco sold so well it sold out at on point. The opportunity, market and customer base is there
@@0554joe Agreed and very well put. There is a market specifically for Toyota people and they will charge at the chance to buy it.
I think its good to be honest because if it comes in at a lower price point and has equal or close to equal amenities as the Jeep, they will be forced to re-think their absurd pricing
I think Toyota is not positioning LC in the same segment as these two, looking at the ground clearance figure. It is more of an over landing alternative to Lexus GX. Next 4runner with the same engine might be the Bronco /wrangler rival.
You bring up good points. I think there is a a market for overlanding more so than extreme off-roading. Jeep has tried to do both and offer both with the Wrangler. However, the interior (albeit nice for a Wrangler) is far from luxurious for a vehicle that in some cases is 70,000 dollars. @@rajeshbhattacharjee2989
Bronco doesn’t do near as well on serious off road trips. Jeep stays true to what they’ve already perfected!❤
False
@@workct4102 Wrong. Plenty of “factual “ videos to prove it.
@@melindadavis920 lol...amateur
Not true
The License to drive movie driving test there! 😂 Until that jeep Death wobbles down the highway!
Owning 14 jeeps and my most recent purchase jeep 392, You cannot go wrong with a jeep but I’ve recently started taking some road trips back country adventures and the jeep on my last trip exhausted me (Driver fatigue) so I test drove the bronco raptor and was absolutely amazed with the vehicle and comfort so I purchased it, my personal opinion you cannot go wrong with a Jeep no matter which one you get they are awesome they will do everything that you needed to do but if you’re looking for comfort I would say bronco I don’t have experience with the standard broncos only the bronco raptor but it is a pretty amazing vehicle.
one thing i think you missed to talk about it in the bronco section, is the A pillar still blocks your side passenger mirror?? i think yes, and also bronco side mirrors re so high up that you cant see stuff near your back end very well! might be wrong but i would prefer a V8 4x4 over any V6 with eco boost on it! also im a fan of gladiators and cant wait for 24 model to be on sale!
The v8 is like 80k tho
I own a 4dr bronco and the A pillar does not block anything. I see fine. I’m 6,4” and partner is 5’. Neither of us find any issues with mirror. Fake news, sorry.
@@scottsdale4899 which model year you have?? because i test drove it and saw the issue my self plus theres videos on youtube you can check it out to see my point! so not fake news! and im 6,2"
@@bordfronco at least you wont service turbos and pay loads of money for it!! and also you get the power whenever you hit the pedal not when the turbo spooled then hit you with power, hoping you get my point of view here, ty
That new 2024 screen with wireless CarPlay is so good on the wrangler. Glad they updated the ancient infotainment system
I love my bronco wildtrak and with not much off-road experience, I can definitely say the bronco makes me look like a veteran with the crew I go with. Hats off to the bronco!
The Bronco is very good vehicle but the biggest problem other than the toothpick tie rods is that the dealers have no inventory and their bumping the price over MSRP. Even the used ones are expensive. I live in a small town outside of Portland and my local Jeep dealer is flush with Wranglers and Gladiators and you will find discounts on them. Right now, I am in SW Colorado where we took my son's Gladiator (Mohave Trim) over Engineer and Cinnamon Pass with no problems. The soft suspension did bottom out on a couple of rough sections. Overall, the Mohave suspension is the most comfortable ride of any Jeep (solid axels). The long drive from Oregon to Colorado was very comfortable. I am a bigger guy and the seats in the 21 Gladiator fit me fine. Could have been a change on the 24s. As for the articulation test you did, repeat it where you're on a 13% grade in loose rock. I think you will find the Jeep does a whole lot better than the Bronco.
Usually people are breaking tie rods because they are using their front dif locker and trying to turn full tilt to go over obstacles. It’s all in the driver…
That tie rod thing is just something people regurgitate because they heard it online. We've done tons of off-roading in the Bronco Badlands with no issue at all. I'm talking rock-crawling, high-speed Baja, hanging a rear wheel in the air on an off-camber decent, etc. I'm running factory KO2s, so I can't comment on people who modify without doing it properly.
You can find Broncos at MSRP if you look around…I just bought a Badlands at MSRP in Auburn, MA…shout out to IRA Ford for not marking it up like the the other Boston Area criminal dealers…and agreed….literally hundreds of Jeeps marked down below MSRP at every Jeep dealer around Boston
@@jackcolt6875 Thanks for the reply. I hope your new ride gives you miles of smiles. I did a quick check around my area and found most asking me to call or email for their price. One was very upfront and showed a $15K bump on all their Broncos in stock. What I really want is to buy one at X-Plan price (about 1% below invoice) but I don't see that happening anytime soon.
Most people would be advised to wait for the new Land Cruiser.
I cannot wait to test drive the Brono! A Jeep Wrangler has always been my dream car since i was a little girl but wow that Bronco is starting to change my mind😂😂. With either vehicle I choose I know i will be happy. They are both works of art for sure. I hope to have my down payment ready by March of 2024 ❤❤
My jeep is constantly at the dealership, I got a lemon. My CRV has only ever needed the oil replaced, and it has performed equal off road as the jeep.
What year Jeep , and what kind of issues are you having ?
Jason is back! Great video as always. My dream video would be Jason in a 392 Rubicon and Brad from trail recon in a Bronco Raptor with Marco from overlanx in a ranger Raptor! Make it happen at the sand dunes Edmonds! Or a cool flexy off-road location with great views. Make it an adventure.
A bunch of jeep influencers
I would add Gabby Downing to that lineup, she's a Bronco influencer. And maybe a Tacoma influencer 🤔
I’m on my 3rd Wrangler but wish the Bronco had been more available when I purchased my most resent Wrangler in 2021. Love the Bronco with the Sasquatch pkg but without it I like the look of the Wrangler better. Seems like Bronco is a little more refined on road and I love that the hardtop has 4 removable panels, brilliant. With Wrangler you get the one touch sky roof which blows any set up Bronco has away. For me its a coin toss and next go around will take a long hard look at the Bronco but price and availability will be big factors. Ps the extra sound insulation Jeep claims on the updated 2024 is only available in the Rubicon X
one touch sky roof needs blown away. too noisy on the highway, can't even conversate ... it sucks
I'm dying to buy a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, but today's prices are just outrageous! Maybe next year...who knows.
Rear floating axle on RUBICON?
Ive heard the new Wranglers ride great compared to the older ones. I have a 2017 JKU Sport. Id say the ride is one step below horseback but still love it.
I have driven both and liked them both but for Me id buy a Bronco, it seemed a little better built to me
Hmmm .. You don't mention any of the common Bronco complaints or concerns... like having a lot of interior road and wind noise... or the abundance of cheap plastic (especially the dash) on the interior. nor do you mention that a wider interior equates to also a wider exterior. Add some of the humongous fender flare options, and you will not be slipping through narrow passages unscathed. Make no mistake, the Wrangler has its faults, but the Bronco does not tread water either.
I wish you would have done a comparison with the Chevy ZR2 Colorado and or Ford Ranger.
First of all thanks for the video but we all know that the king of the off-road is and always will be the Jeep Wrangler
I'd love those frameless doors with side mirrors attached to body for the next gen jeep.
Jason Lewis from @AutoEdits FTW!
How easy would each be to open up the back and put two bicycles in there? (No need for rear seats).
Competition is good for the consumer.
I probably don’t even belong in this thread but I went with the 21 4xe for two reasons, one touch top and 25 miles in electric. I mainly go up the mountain for skiing or to the beach so don’t off road much. The convenience of pushing one button for the top to go back sealed it for me. My wife can open the roof without me. I was sold 😂
Drove both and yes Bronco was more SUVish like 4 Runner, Jeep was more Raw, more Jeepish...Went home with a Rubi.
The way the bottle doesn’t spill makes it quite obvious that the bottle happens to be exactly at the pivot point of the vehicle.
I love both, but what made me go with the Bronco was that in the Jeep I constantly hit my head on the roll bar (?) behind my head. Plus the seating is TIGHT on the Jeep. I'm not crazy tall at 6'2" but I kept thinking that I would be in trouble if I was ever rear endeed in a Jeep. I think both options are great though and I do love off roading in my Bronco.
Currently going to be having to be going car shopping pretty soon unfortunately, and tossing around between the wrangler unlimited sport and the bronco. Just trying to find one priced right with the options and color I'd want, and that's been the only annoying part about it so far.
They're both pretty awesome and I like that they're both from American companies (for the most part)!
Yes sir, buy american! Greetings from Costa Rica
The Jeep is surprisingly good on the road now and the Bronco is surprisingly good off-road.
The edge goes to Jeep for being more reliable right now but you can’t go wrong with either.
Bronco with aftermarket tie rods for me
Bronco all the way !
I wish you would have compared engines
Curious why no mention of engines ?
Nice job...going to the market down roads I live on...however it wasn't a complete test. My wife's RAV4 can compete in the trials you showed (with her driving), where are the real tests where the ability of an off road vehicle really shine?
In February, I just paid off my 17 f150 that I bought new. It was a tough decision at the time between it and the wrangler, but I didn't want it as a daily because of the death wobble issues.
Keeping my truck and getting my wrangler in June hopefully. Bronco never really appealed to me
I like both due to the roof removal, however i would puck the gladiator for more convenience
To be fair, at this price point, both of these vehicles should be very nice. It is quite a sight to see people out bashing these high price toys in the wilds. Repairs for 2024 complex vehicles like this is quite steep. Very much a rich playground.....
Both are good. I'd choose the Bronco
What model of Bronco was tested?
The Jeep Wrangler will always be a Jeep!! The Ford Bronco is still a Ford!! 5-10 years from now the Jeep will still hold its value!!!
The Jeep is still a Chrysler 👍
Bronco any day.
IFS gives it leagues better handling and steering, and if you actually do serious off-road driving, you’re probably going to modify the vehicle to suit the trails anyway. You can modify the hell out of them since both have tons of aftermarket support now, so either one can conquer any trail within it’s capabilities.
With regards to customization, the AUX switches and easily removable everything makes the Bronco pretty painless to customize. The fender flares can be taken off easily with just fingers, the doors come off with 1 wrench, and any body panel can be removed with just the tool kit. With the Jeep, you’d have to tear it apart to do any electrical work, the doors take a while to get off, and there’s only two roof segments (sorry, no hanging out the top for 2nd row passengers).
Inside, the Bronco’s seating is more comfy, the cabin is more spacious, the infotainment is better, and the interior is safe to wash due to the rubberized floors and marine vinyl seats. The Jeep has a little higher material quality (until you step up to the world-beating Raptor), but other than that there are no pros vs the Bronco.
I like the winch option on the higher Jeep trims, but you can just get an Everglades Bronco if you want a winch. And again, huge aftermarket support means tons of options in that arena for both cars.
Overall, the Bronco is just way more convenient and everything is easier in general.
The worst part of the Jeep is the ridiculously hard to fix V6, as a mechanic one of the hardest things I’ve ever done is a pentastar timing chain.
Still love the older bronco with the 351w in it ..
Analog gauges are always a win.
How long till you can walk into a ford dealer and buy a bronco at MSRP? Like 2025?
You should try and do some kind of comparison with the 4Runner it should be in the same category as the bronco
I wanted to love my wrangler so badly. But after 2 front axle failures, one which could have been a very serious crash, you’ll find me driving a bronco
Should be a water bottle in the back seats for that test as well.
Jeep Wrangler would sell twice the number of vehicles if they also offered an Independent Front Suspension. They could use a modified RAM front suspension and give it a much better handling on-road driving experience. Not everybody goes hard-core off-roading especially my friend's wife who would never take her Wrangler someplace dirty.
Ironic that the Jeep and Bronco were both designed for off-road, yet the majority of people who buy them are city drivers. Go figure.
Did you mention, the Jeep Wrangler 2024 grille refresh....
Being that I used my 2019 Rubicon as a daily driver I finally gave up and bought a Bronco. Will never part with my CJ seven that I’ve had 30+ years.
I had a 4cyl wrangler in the late 90s. Never got the stock jeep stuck. The cost of a rubicon is really not worth it. If offroad is your game buy a stock one and upgrade it with proper aftermarket strength for less money.
I went with a 4 door Wildtrak, hubby as has a 2 door Wildtrak, waiting on the Bronco Truck and he will get that in the Badlands. We both had Jeep Rubicon's and did not keep them because of how they drove on road. We just did Bronco Offroadeo in Texas and we learned so much about how amazing the Bronco is! We will always be Bronco people. We are outfitting ours for overlanding and there is just so much more room! We are just waiting on the Truck, rumor is it will be here in 2025. As soon as the order banks open we are ordering one.
Had a ‘21 Wrangler, sold it and bought a Bronco Wildtrak. It was nice, but just drove dead. Just traded it in on a new Wrangler.
Older interior, specifically the dash layout and shape was better and more organic in older 18-23 wranglers. Here the cluster shape reminds of fiat panda and the screen looks as if an ipad was just glued on. circular vents are also gone. Older dash for me please
Ah I don’t get it, the pitch on the back end seemed much bigger in the bronco?
I am thinking of sitching sides but The 'tooth pick ' tie rods on the Bronco is a bit of a concern
How about the removable tops? How about rock crawling? Big rocks! Accessories?
Having had 3 Wranglers (TJ and two JLs), and now my Bronco heritage I would have to choose my Bronco.
I completely agree with this review.
I prefer the seats and interior in the Bronco way over the Jeeps.
Of the Jeeps, my favorite was my stripped-down JL Sport 2 door with the V6. I absolutely, hated the JL Rubicon 4 door with the turbo 4. I could not wait to trade in the vehicle and be done with that turd. Always regretted getting rid of my JL Sport, after jumping into the Rubicon. Guess that I liked the simplicity of it.
Ford won me over with the Bronco, great vehicle.
I think when you compare you need to mention that the Bronco has Apple Car Play and Android auto. The Uconnect system in the Jeep requires an app that costs $15 a month. This might seem like a small inconvenience, but I found that incredibly annoying when I rented a Jeep SUV with Turo for a long weekend while traveling. (it would not even let the audio from my phone play through the speakers without the app) My wireless Apple Car Play works great in my Bronco and if I want to let a passenger sync their phone its as easy as plugging in a USB cable to the dash. I know that many want to know which is the Ultimate off roader, but realistically these are designed to be great every day vehicles that also have great off road capability for when you need it. If you were building a designated extreme off roader I assume you would go with something a lot less luxurious, more minimalist, and a lot less expensive. Something you could tow to the trail head with either your Wrangler or Bronco. It does not look like Jeep has a 360 camera option yet either, after having it in my Bronco it seems like it should be a standard feature in all SUVs over a certain size. When you add up the Interior space, infotainment convenience and steering feel, I think the Bronco is the clear winner. Assuming you have a year to wait in order to get the one you want at MSRP.
I own a 23 Willys, no app needed for ether Car Play or Android Auto
On the '24 its wireless Apple Car play. Other JL's, no app is needed. I just plug mine in. It is definitely annoying needing the UConnect to remote start and what not though. That is a subscription.
@@bdawgdoyle glad to hear they fixed it. I was trying to learn more about the infotainment system in the new Jeeps on their website. And it kept referring to the Uconnect system. You don't need the Uconnect app to run your Car Play?
Hmmm I just got a wrangler and don’t have that problem at all
@@bshatajshina glad to hear they’ve fixed this.
Jeep needs to take some ideas from the Bronco.The overhead aux switches and the body mounted mirrors.
Steering on a solid front axle vehicle just takes getting used to the minor road wander that happens from that kind of front end. I've driven solid front axle 4WD vehicles for over 50 years - you just get used to it.
gimme the jeep all day long
I have drove both. I would trust the Jeep for off road and road travel. The Bronco for the same, it has more luxury to it, comfortable.
