Built Bronco Badlands vs Wrangler Rubicon Side by Side Look

[brunjc2]

That’s what I’m saying! Looks great but could definitely use a lift

Im wondering what type of aftermarket fenders will be available (seeing how the fenders and body are ‘modular’) to allow large tires with minimal suspension lift.

Great pic! The Bronco looks great. It desperately needs a lift though.

The challenge for Jeep is to modernize but keep the same basic style. Think Porsche 911. Same basic shape for a long, long time now.

Can’t wait to see this competition on the road.

I know a four door jeep isn't known to offer the best sightlines for the driver to see whats around the vehicle when driving but the bronco looks even more challenging to see out of for the driver.

I think the new Bronco has the same capability to maintain the same basic look for a long time with nothing but incremental changes. That is a big part of building a similar following to what Jeep has. If they want the aftermarket industry behind the Bronco like Jeep has, they will have to. That said, I don't know that Ford would do it. I hope they do, but it is an uphill climb. Stepping back to a design reminiscent of the original has me very hopeful and forward-leaning. I have had multiple Broncos and Jeeps, and I have every intention of continuing that going forward as long as they continue to offer what I like. Ford is starting to realize that there is no room for missteps, just like when Jeep planned to do away with the fold down windshield with the current gen Wrangler. It's a small thing, but it's a Jeep thing. I love the competition this is producing. I think over time it will cause both to offer more value for the prices they are charging. Lack of competition and popularity allowed Jeep to jack the prices sky high.

no that would only be correct if it was a wrangler and an fj... i just cant find that meme

I feel like that bronco is rubbing the fender just with the wheel turned that little bit..... don’t understand why they didn’t show it with upgraded suspension

Im guessing because u can’t get the roof rack, or the tent with the Sasquatch

Dated Is Jeeps bread a butter! No other vehicle on the road looks virtually the same every decade. Hopefully Bronco has the same staying power. ?

Well if you ignore 1997-2020 the years not a single bronco was sold you could say it has staying power Since 1965. ?

For all the comments about dated or evolutionary design, that’s the entire segment. 4Runner has had the same design for a decade now. It’s not like the sedan market that needs at least a refresh every 3 yrs to be competitive

Still editing? What’s up.

By Sept, end of Sept, some time in Oct, mid Oct. Kinda use to delay about now.

Nice body-color hardtop on that Jeep!

Why doesn't the Bronco next to it have a body-color hardtop, Ford?

it’s going to be interesting. IF they go IFS (my opinion is they should) I would think they will come up with something that articulates well. And if they are really thinking, they’ll leave provisions on the frame for the aftermarket to support bolt in SAS.

either way, we’re about to get some amazing vehicle options, and I’m afraid you really won’t go wrong with either (GM K5 and new Toyota models, too?)

It's going to be very cool to see where the market heads these...idk next 3-5 years!! Plus all these EVs getting ready to hit the market!

And aftermarket! from the Godzilla crate engine to EV crate engines...

Sure it’s the same problem as why you can’t get the Sasquatch Package with the roof rails. Max load on the roof rails with the Sasquatch package is a roll over risk.

I think there’s something in Ford’s history that makes them afraid of rollovers. Something about Firestone and explorers ?‍

I think your forgetting about the Bronco2.

Bronco is not a SAS.
