Performance & Capability

The Ford Bronco offers three potent engine options to satisfy your need for speed or hill-climbing power. The base turbocharged four-cylinder engine produces up to 300 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque, but two available V6 motors generate 315 and 418 horsepower, respectively. The Jeep Wrangler's standard engine only puts out 285 horsepower and 260 pound-feet of torque. Two other stronger engines are available in the Wrangler, but you must pay more to attain them.

While the Ford Bronco is built to tame off-road trails and rough terrain, its independent front suspension and precise steering provide confident handling and a composed ride on city streets. The Jeep Wrangler has vague steering and a solid axle suspension that benefit it for off-roading but make its ride rougher on pavement.

Interior Space

You'll want to have plenty of room in your SUV - not only for passengers, but to store luggage or camping gear. The Ford Bronco seats up to five passengers comfortably and offers up to 77.6 cubic feet of cargo space in four-door models with the rear seats folded. The Wrangler also has seating for five, but it's roomiest version only has 72.4 cubic feet of storage space with the back seats down.
