But how do they compare in terms of power, off-roading capabilities, design, and tech? Our team at Huffines Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram (CJDR) Lewisville is here to help you make your pick.
Overview of the 2024 Jeep Wrangler
The 2024 Jeep Wrangler brings you some significant upgrades and a modernized off-roading experience compared to previous models. It features a 12.3-inch touch-screen system that keeps you connected whether you're navigating rugged trails or city streets. Available in two- and four-door models, it caters to a variety of outdoor enthusiasts.
This robust four-wheel-drive vehicle offers a range of powerplants, including a 3.6L V-6, a 2.0L turbo-four, and the powerful 6.4L V-8 that's exclusive to the Rubicon 392 model. It's not only powerful but smart, with the Rock-Trac four-wheel-drive system, specialized locking mechanisms, and an innovative sway bar to conquer tough terrains.
The classic design of the Wrangler, featuring the iconic seven-slot grille and round headlights, continues to turn heads. Prices start at $31,995 for two-door models and $36,595 for four-door versions, with eight trims available. New safety features, such as side air bags on most trims, enhance peace of mind on your adventures.
Comfort gets an upgrade, too, with power-adjustable front seats making long drives more enjoyable. The Rubicon trim includes premium features such as a built-in front winch and a reinforced rear axle. With a towing capacity of up to 5,000 pounds, it's perfect for hauling your gear to the trailhead.
For the environmentally conscious, the plug-in hybrid 4xe engine provides an efficient, eco-friendly option. The latest Jeep Wrangler isn't just an SUV — it's your ticket to exhilarating adventures.
Overview of the 2024 Ford Bronco
The 2024 Ford Bronco commands attention in the all-terrain SUV segment, offering both two- and four-door options. The base model comes with a 2.3L EcoBoost engine that delivers 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. For more power, there's a 2.7L EcoBoost V-6 with 330 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque or the Raptor's 3.0L EcoBoost V-6 with 418 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque.
Designed for challenging terrain, the Bronco features a top-tier four-wheel-drive system and optional front and rear electronic locking differentials. Its Goes Over Any Terrain (G.O.A.T) system includes multiple drive modes for versatile off-roading. Additionally, the Sasquatch package, with 35-inch all-terrain tires and Bilstein shocks, enhances trail capabilities.
Mirroring its rival, the Bronco offers an exhilarating open-air experience with removable doors and roof panels. With nine trims to choose from, starting at $39,630 for the Big Bend, there's a model for every taste and budget.
Tech-wise, the Bronco excels with a 12-inch SYNC 4 touch screen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and an optional 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen sound system. A subscription-based Wi-Fi hotspot ensures you stay connected, even in remote areas. The Bronco proves you can have both adventure and connectivity.
2024 Ford Bronco vs. 2024 Jeep Wrangler: A Head-To-Head Comparison
When it comes to rugged off-road prowess, the Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler reign supreme. The Wrangler's standard 3.6L V-6 engine offers 285 horsepower, while the Bronco's 2.3L EcoBoost engine delivers up to 300 horsepower. Gear shifting differs, too. Ford's offering provides a 10-speed automatic or seven-speed manual, whereas the Wrangler gives you an eight-speed automatic or six-speed manual.
Venturing off-road, both SUVs truly come into their element. The Jeep Wrangler boasts 12.9 inches of ground clearance, higher than the Bronco's 11.6 inches. However, Ford's front suspension makes for a more comfortable ride on regular roads.
Inside, the Bronco offers you more cargo space with 22.4 cubic feet behind the rear seats, compared to the Wrangler's 12.9 cubic feet. In terms of fuel economy, the Ford's 2.3L engine achieves 20 mpg combined, slightly better than its rival's 19 mpg combined for the 3.6L V-6.
Price-wise, two-door Wranglers start at a more affordable $31,995, while the Bronco's entry-level Big Bend trim comes with a higher price tag of $39,630. That's a substantial difference for folks watching their wallet.
Each SUV offers something unique. The Wrangler has a 4xe plug-in hybrid option with an electric-only range of 21 miles, appealing to environmentally conscious drivers. In comparison, the Bronco has G.O.A.T. modes for different off-road settings, so it's ready for all kinds of adventurous rides.
Ultimately, your choice of vehicle depends on your priorities. If you prioritize a lower price and a long history of off-road success, choose the Wrangler. And if you want comfort on regular roads and the latest technology, the Bronco might be the better option.
