PfftSFA is trash on road. It's not a secret. Anyone who says otherwise is not telling you the truth....
It’s all relative.Pfft
My daily driver SFA has 85,000 miles. It rides great on the road with 35” tires and lifted 2.5”. It’s great because I did it right. It has an 8 arm adjustable control arm suspension to get the geometry back to specs. I did not just cheap out and lift it and slap big tires. I drive 70 miles to and from work everyday. So your statement doesn’t apply to me even if you say I am not telling the truth.
I am willing to say IFS is better on the road but for you to just make a blanket statement about SFA is trash on the road and say anyone that doesn’t agree with you is not telling the truth about it is bananas.
Last year I drove 750 miles to Yellowstone national park and another 6 days later and 2000 more miles wheeling and camping. My ride is not as bad as you say.
I can pay in cash for a badlands. If my daily driver was as bad as you say they all are I would not have it.
I don’t know. I rented a new Tahoe last year and that sucker wandered more than my JK for sure.The IFS in the Bronco will be far superior on the road than the SFA in the Wrangler for a small disadvantage off-road. If you're not a rock crawler, it won't matter to you that there is not a SFA in the Bronco and you'll love the ride quality of the Bronco over the Wrangler.
So it's not garbage unless you properly lift and calibrate it and most Wranglers on the road are either stock or lifted half-assed, and I haven't ever driven an SFA vehicle that wasn't just "adequate" on road--at best, which includes the AEV Brute which was supposed to have been lifted and tuned perfectly to match the weight of the conversion. Everything works great until the damn thing needs to change direction, or you hit crappy and textured pavement.Pfft

Was debating getting a Wrangler for a while then they announce the Bronco and then that changed everything for a couple reasons:
1) I trust Ford more than FCA (my first car was an Expedition) Lasted for 250k miles
2) Engine/MPG. If I’m not mistaken, the EcoBoost (both of them) will get way better MPG than the Wrangler and is more reliable
3) Better technology and packages that are standard
*Bonus, the doors and roof are apparently easier to take off
Basically, I want a damn fun vehicle where I can drive around with no roof and doors as much as I can and just have a blast with me, my wife, and my soon to be children.
Are the reasons above safe to assume the Bronco will be better than the Wrangler in the road?
How are the 35's to balance if you dont mind me asking, after seeing some stuff on here and other things online it seems like a lot of people have trouble keeping the 35 and above balanced. I know not every tire is the same but it cant hurt to ask. Was asking because I was thinking about going Sasquatch, but was nervous when it comes time to get new tires or even how they would act overtime. Also, what wheels are those, really like them.Pfft

Don't forget his issue: Is the Bronco better than the jeep on the road? ( Did not contrast off road capabilities of each one against the other) So even if this is his first four wheeler or even if he never intends to go off road, it doesn't matter to his basic question. And his first point was that his prior Ford went a quarter million miles-check. Point two is the ecoboost probably gets better mpg than the jeep gas engine-check. Point three is Bronco has better tech offerings-check. Point four is the doors and roof panels are more conducive to easier removal (and in the case of the Bronco, onboard storage)-check. Based on the issues he raised, the Bronco seems to be the better fit.Considering the probability that the majority of people that own a 4x4 have never taken it off road I would put them in the same category as first time owners
