It’s pretty clear that the all-new 2021 Ford Bronco was designed with the Jeep Wrangler square in its sights. Both vehicles are meant to deliver exceptional off-road capability, along with a fun and youthful experience thanks to retro styling and a removable roof and doors. While we’ve yet to drive the new Bronco, here’s how it stacks up against the venerable Wrangler on paper.
What We Would Change: Availability will be sporadic early on, and dealers will likely charge big markups What’s new for 2021: Everything. The Bronco is an all-new model from Ford and is the first vehicle to ride on the company’s next-generation midsize truck platform. Neither of its powertrains or automatic transmissions are new, though its 7-speed automatic is, and features a special ultralow crawler gear. Its design is heavily inspired by that of the original Bronco, which was sold from 1966 through 1977.
What does the future hold? The Bronco by itself amounts to a future vehicle, given that it likely won’t be available to the masses until about a year from now. That said, expect a top-tier Raptor trim to debut in a few years, while a pickup version meant to compete with the Jeep Gladiator is supposedly in the works as well.2020 Jeep Wrangler 2020 Jeep Wrangler Starting Price: $29,790
Overview: Like the Bronco, the Wrangler is available in both two- and four-door body styles. Four core trim levels are offered; Sport, Sport S, Sahara, and Rubicon, which is the most off-road oriented Wrangler. Fabric and hardtops are available, as are three engine options. The Jeep Gladiator is a pickup version of the Wrangler, and offers a level of utility not available from the 2021 Ford Bronco.
Bronco vs. Wrangler: Strengths comparison Both of these vehicles are effectively toys – your life will inherently be more exciting with either one in your garage. The 2021 Ford Bronco and 2020 Jeep Wrangler both come standard with four-wheel drive, great off-road geometry, and a removable roof and doors. Either one should be a blast to take on a camping trip or just cruise around town in – roof and doors off – on a summer day.
