This is a comparison between my current Wrangler and my exact Bronco reservation build! With my wait time being pushed from mid 2021 to 2022, I was forced to take the plunge and went with a 4xe Rubicon as I needed a car for the summer months and I couldn't pass up the thought of free city driving (there's free chargers within walking distance) and the tax credit. On top of that I got it under MSRP before the recent $4k price increases; fully loaded Rubi for $47k, what a deal!
While I still have my Bronco Badlands reservation intact just in case, I will likely pass, as there is nothing quite like overlanding/offroading with an electric drivetrain. It's noticeably more nimble on the trail, uphill, over rocks, etc than the gas engine. Plus 30+ blended mpg in a monster truck is amazing, especially with today's gas prices. It's exciting to think about a time when battery technology and charging infrastructure gets more EV's on the road and allows more folks to experience it. So while it'll probably be a few years before I finally get my Bronco I always dreamed of, the 4xe purchase has me looking forward to my future Bronco EV/PHEV!
