I think a non-XR 392 is around 5100 lbs, isn't the BR about 5700 lbs? I agree though the BR, even being so much heavier, will probably be a better high speed machine.
Some people have paid over msrp for Wranglers, but many have paid under msrp for Wranglers, including the 392. Won't link to another forum, but the information is out there. A loaded 22' JLUR comes out to about $65k msrp, the same 392 comes out to about $78k. The 392 includes other upgrades to...
I like the Bronco but I'm not sold on it. The JL in the test was a rental, FWIW a couple years ago I rented a JL when on a trip, the steering was bad, maybe it needed some maintenance? In any case the JL steering is relatively easy to upgrade, much easier than trying to remove 450 lbs from the...
Thanks for posting. Sounds like if someone wants a larger touchscreen, get the Bronco. If someone wants a better off roader, better outward visibility, better performance, and better mpg's, get the Jeep.
With all respect, a lot of you folks sound like someone who's being abused in a relationship, ...and keeps going back to the abuser. I never understood the whole "reservation" thing; for another American suv that's mostly a copy of a vehicle that's been for sale for years? I honestly mean no...
I drove an 11' JKUR, mostly stock, for 6 years. Stock size tires, no major issues, went on a few road trips with 3 adults and 2 or 3 large dogs plus bags, did fine (but way underpowered, the new JL's are much better, also a bit larger than the JK's). JD Powers, problems per 100 vehicles, 2015...
FWIW Motor Trend tested a 2021 Bronco 4 door OB, non-sas., it weighed 4828 lbs.

Reviving a thread, the weight of the 4 door Bronco compared to a 4 door Wrangler is of interest to me.
Am I correct that a non-sas. 4 door badlands roughly corresponds to a JLUR? Don't both come with 285/70-17 tires? (?)
From C&D in 2018, a JLUR (soft top) weighed 4629 lbs...
Awesome vehicle, much more than I need, but I love it. FWIW other reviewers have said the 392 was limited to 99 mph, but C&D from what I understand reports what the vehicle really does, in this review they're saying 12.9 seconds at 104 mph in the quarter.
