Choosing the Better SUV in Sterling Heights: Jeep Wrangler vs. Ford Bronco

As you hunt for the right SUV to purchase or lease near Clinton Township, don't skip over the 2020 Jeep Wrangler at Sterling Heights Dodge Chrysler Jeep RAM. This iconic model is known for its distinctive style, innovative features, and dynamic performance both on- and off-road. To highlight why the Jeep Wrangler is the right option to invest in, we have compiled this comparison between it and another popular model on the market, the new Ford Bronco.

Performance

While the new Ford Bronco is a strong contender for an off-road SUV, the Jeep Wrangler outperforms in several ways. Here are the differences in performance and capability between these two models:

• The Ford Bronco offers two powerful engine options, but the available 3.0-liter EcoDiesel V6 in the Jeep Wrangler delivers more power. This new engine for the Jeep SUV generates 442 pound-feet of torque, which translates to incredible low-end strength for crawling steep hills.
• Warren, MI, drivers can pair a manual transmission with the 285-horsepower V6 in the Jeep Wrangler. If you want a manual transmission in the Ford SUV, it has to be paired with a less powerful 270-horsepower four-cylinder.
• Both vehicles boast many off-road features, but the base model for the new Jeep Wrangler comes with 9.7 inches of ground clearance, allowing you to traverse jagged terrain confidently. The base model for the Bronco only reaches 8.4 inches of ground clearance.

Interior

The new Ford Bronco offers several enticing features inside, but when looking closer at each cabin, it's apparent that the Jeep Wrangler is the clear winner. Here's how the Jeep SUV wins over the Ford SUV:

• The new Jeep Wrangler offers more space for passengers to stretch out and stay comfortable. For instance, in the second row of the four-door model, there are 38.3 inches of legroom. The new Ford Bronco offers a couple of inches less in the rear seats of its four-door model.
• Whether you're driving around town or taking the path less traveled, you'll have more outward visibility in the Jeep Wrangler than the Ford Bronco thanks to its larger side windows and tapered hood.
• The Bronco offers an available marine-grade upholstery, which aids in resisting the elements. The Jeep Wrangler offers similar weather-resistant removable carpet but beats the Ford SUV by offering a one-way floor drain that allows you to wash away debris.

Exterior Features

You'll find several useful features on each model, but the Jeep Wrangler manages to surpass the Ford Bronco by offering more exciting features to make your travels even better. These are some of the key differences that make the Jeep SUV stand out:

• When you're adventuring through narrow passages with the doors off, you'll be thankful that the Jeep Wrangler's mirrors are attached to the doors as they won't be in the way or get damaged by branches or rocks. The Ford Bronco's mirrors are mounted to the body and can't be removed.
• A unique feature found on the Jeep Wrangler is an optional fold-down windshield. When you take the doors off and fold the windshield down, your off-road explorations around Troy, MI, will go to a whole new level. The Bronco does not offer this windshield feature.
