We got our first glimpse of the 2021 Ford Bronco alongside a Jeep Wrangler, in an impromptu meeting on the streets of Dearborn!

It’s not a perfect comparison, as this is a four-door Bronco and a two-door JK Wrangler, but it was still nice to see the two models together in the real world. It’s interesting to see the stance of the Bronco and Wrangler nearly side-by-side in traffic, and to see the similarities of their externally mounted spares. The similarities of the upright windscreens and side block profiles are also visible. The Bronco’s smart A-pillar-mounted side mirrors also promise a better doors-off driving advantage, which is driven home seeing the two off-roaders in the same frame.

These shots aren’t the ultimate Bronco/Wrangler comparison, but thanks to mere happenstance, and the fact that the JL Wrangler is largely similar in footprint and proportions to its predecessor, we’re glad to provide a new view at what will be a massive battle in the marketplace.

What’s up with the underside of the Bronco? Are those torsion bars?

Cool to see. Not really apples to apples (4 door vs 2 door, base vs. upgraded, little all seasons vs. mud tires), but it gives us a good idea of the size. It actually looks smaller here than in the stand alone pics.

those are links for a coil spring rear axle.

Might just be the perspective, since in every picture the Jeep is closer.
I tried to compensate for that in my mind, but you may be right. It doesn't really matter to me, as long as it's bigger inside than the Jeep. Those things are tight.

Funny thing about the mirrors. I was always jealous of CJs because the mirrors stayed on the windshield when the doors came off, but mine (well the one mirror) was mounted to the drivers door. I actually considered mounting CJ mirrors on my Bronco because the doors were rarely on it. A quick glance over your shoulder works too, and is probably better anyway.
Now Jeep mounts them on the door and the Bronco is the one doing it right. Plus one for team Bronco.

I want a photo of the bronco between the jeep and the expedition up front.... that will give us an excelent ratio to measure on... sadly spy shots are never perfect
