Technically, I don't think that was brought up yet. When ignorance keeps surfacing, sometimes you have to "protest"
As someone thats not a motorhead, this is the biggest thing for me. I want to get into off roading, so all these special features in the high end off road models Jeep and Bronco boasts mean nothing because they all seem trivial when it comes to off road performance. They'll both bring you to 90% of where you wanna go. The biggest difference is the IFS. This is a great representation that I haven't seen yet (only vocally explained):
The JD Power & Associates is based only on the first 90 days of ownership. What problems do you think are going to pop up in the first three months? How about three years. Talk to a mechanic and the People who actually work on the things! FCA quality has gotten really bad. Paying to be in a award category from a advertising business doesn’t prove anything. Real awards don’t make you pay for them.

When you mention "8k upgrade", are you saying its possible for the IFS to *act* like a solid front axle, similar to example above?
That's Dodge, they only build old Mecerdes based platforms.
*checks name of this website*
I've gotta give this one to Jeep, with the solid axle one can pick a line with consideration to the location of the diff. With IFS there is no picking the whole centerline hangs down.
You may not be aware, the Bronco with the 2 inch lift and 37's is a show concept that is using a Raptor rear end, many threads and posts on this forum about it, it is not a a simple lift.
To me, all that boils down to three points:
Add to that FCA is merging with French company Peugeot to form the new company "Stellantis" next year. Uncertainty will plague all US based brands in 2021 and beyond.
You hit the nail on the head. The brochure mentions articulation verbally, but added a diagram focused solely on ground clearance, even though the greater benefit is articulation, which keeps wheels on the ground for traction more frequently.I am saying to get the articulation I have now, I will likely have to replace upper and lower control arms (and associated minor parts) and possibly axles as well as shocks. You can look at some of the Toyota Tacoma lifts that allow good articulation for examples. I am not particularly concerned with the center ground clearance depicted in the illustration as we drag skid plates over rocks all the time.
