2021 Ford Bronco First Edition vs. Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon 4xe: Four-Wheel-Drive Face-Off
Saw this article this morning and thought I share, I only have two comments that I think it should be a comparison should be between the Wildtrak and that the Tire comment is not really as big of deal as Scott is making out to be. I know a ton of guys here already plan on changing tires to fit their style of off-roading and in a true comparison that shouldn't be the deciding factor.
I'm curious to see what you guys think

Sure sounds like a jeep guy wrote that one...
Yeah, I'm going to take this review with a grain of salt since most of it goes completely against what a lot of the other reviews have been. What I got from this article was buy AT tires and you'll be fine.

Yep...I'm reading a line-by-line counter to all things people say are limitations in a Jeep. How in Tarnation can a reviewer suggest that Jeep's 1945-design steering feel and feedback is superior to IFS/Rack and Pinion? Hilarious. Why? Because physics is an actual thing.

Definitely written by someone who favors Wranglers. Felt like every positive thing he had to say about Bronco was downplayed and was only ahead by so much and he didnt even compare what Bronco excels at which is high speed desert running.

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.

Really all I got from this, which is the first time I'm hearing it is - the tires actually suck? Like that's a real fudging problem lol
Sounds like a writer who wants attention and click throughs by going against the consensus in order create outrage by bronco fans and elation by jeep fans.

It's motortrend. They have the most vanilla reviews so they don't upset the manufacturers that pay them to review their vehicles.

Motor Trend is actually “ Mopar Trend” these days. Practically the entire editorial staff is a Mopar fan. Their TV channel is basically a propaganda channel for Mopar. They posses zero legitimacy.
Everything in the review I could take as "well this guy is just a Jeep fan" but this line right here is so obviously false. Having driven both on highway this is such malarkey it's not even funny.
Edit: I'll add I actually like the Wrangler, and there is things I prefer about it over the Bronco... But how it drives at 70mph is not one of them lol.

thanks for posting that snipped, shows me I don't have to read the article, as that is such hilarious nonsense, the rest can't be any better. My Bronco drives like on rails. I'm still amazed how well it handles on freeway and off.
I read it and dont believe it. I cant help get the impression that Motortrend is biased. There are a few statements in there that are flatout incorrect.....and those extreme conditions where the Jeep may be more capable 80% of offroaders never get to experience.
Nothing will sway my opinion.....
