Our team at Crest Ford is here to help you decide. Below, they've crafted this Ford Bronco vs. Jeep Renegade comparison to help you pick your next travel companion. Keep reading to find out which one you're buying.

Which SUV Lets Me Experience the Landscape More?

Both the Ford Bronco and the Jeep Renegade have off-roading as their middle name. It's no secret that both of these vehicles are built with the wilderness in mind. However, if you don't mind kicking up some dust or getting your clothes muddy or wet, you may enjoy the Bronco's open-air experience more.

The Bronco's 2-door or 4-door models both feature easily removable roof panels and doors to help you let in all the thrills of the outdoors. Unfortunately, the Renegade only offers a 4-door model and its roof panels aren't meant to be removed.

If you prefer to experience the natural elements without getting out of your vehicle, the Ford Bronco may be your best option.

The Off-Road's Biggest Contenders

Ford and Jeep vehicles are built tough, but can the Bronco or the Renegade fare better on the roads less traveled by? While the Jeep Renegade features a Trail Rated badge, the Ford Bronco offers better off-road-specific figures in terms of ground clearance and water fording.

The Bronco will be able to avoid any mishaps on water crossings or steep descents much easier than the Jeep Renegade, which in turn will help you keep the adventure going all day long.

Bronco vs Renegade: Power and Drivability

You may be wondering, "What fuels the Ford Bronco and Jeep Renegade's nature-lovin' souls?" Both SUVs feature two available engine configurations. However, the Bronco can churn out more power from the jump.

• Ford Bronco: 2.3L EcoBoost® engine-270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque
• Jeep Renegade: 2.4L Tigershark® MultiAir® engine-180 horsepower and 175 lb-ft of torque

Plus, when it comes to rugged adventures, the Bronco will be able to tame many tricky terrains. While both vehicles offer a drive mode select system, the Terrain Management System™ with G.O.A.T. Modes™ (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) offers additional modes that the Renegade's system goes without:

• Baja
• Eco
• Sport

You can also find these off-road driving assistance features on the Bronco:

• Trail Control™
• Class-exclusive Trail Turn Assist
• Class-exclusive Trail 1-Pedal Drive

Unfortunately, the Jeep Renegade goes without these features that can make navigating tricky gullies and tight curves easier.
