Troubles in Jeepville?

Starting a thread is sorta like kicking a bird out of the nest. You just hope it flies.

Every future Bronco owner hearing this:

I'm not exactly optimistic about the long-term prospects of the Bronco's high-pressure, dual-turbo, direct-injection, aluminum-block, tech-laden V6. Or for that matter its 10-speed auto trans.

We are asking far too much of internal combustion these days. Give me an old-school V-8.

While I don't exactly embrace the electric-vehicle future with open arms, I will welcome the reduced mechanical complexity.

Let’s deal with facts. Ford is #22, and Jeep is #19.

Holy cow!

I knew it was bad but I never figured the Wrangler would drag the Jeep score down that much!

They (CR) are generally coy about sources of contributions and this is no different, in fact, i'd say their revenue recognition is superbly stated by KPMG in that you would have a difficult time using their financials to determine where much of their income comes from aside from print (not doing so well) and legacy clicks. At least 20% of their income is nebulously identified.

That's quite a shot across the bow without anything specific backing it up. What started as a very specific claim that CR is taking payments in exchange for favorable reviews has morphed into a more vague claim that it's well-hidden in their financial report. Specifically what in their financial report do you think represents "20% of their income is nebulously identified"? As in, which page and line item is where you think that is occurring? It's certainly difficult to refute any claim like that without knowing where to look.

Folks, when I created this thread I didn't mean for this to turn into a pissing contest. I just thought it was an interesting comparison of the current Jeep Wrangler. I am betting that the majority of those on this forum have, have had, or have wanted to have a Jeep.
No matter how you butter your bread, it's still a pretty cool vehicle, maybe not so much as the Bronco, but nice nonetheless. I hope at the end of the day we all just remember that this is just a forum for the exchange of ideas and info. Best Wishes to all.

You mentioned Consumer Reports, and to Jeep owners, "them's fightin' words"!

I've had a couple of Jeeps over the years...had some issues, but what vehicle doesn't.

My F150. I've only ever replaced the alternator after 150k miles.

You're either as old as I am, or that funny moment in TV has wings of it's own.

Next motor going into mine will be a 5.0. Hopefully 200k miles out of the 2.7.

When it fails we can just replace it with a LS...

Multiple posts showing Jeep quality higher than Ford (per quoted stats), but people keep talking about crappy Jeep quality. Only on a Ford forum.
