Ford Bronco vs Jeep Wrangler

Do you enjoy taking your vehicle out to see a concert, to tailgate before catching a game, and to the lake or trailhead for some fun outdoors? Then you'll need an SUV that blends with your lifestyle and can take you and your gear wherever you want to go around Detroit, Sterling Heights, and Warren, Michigan.

Two models that look compatible at first glance are the Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler. While they have a lot in common, from off-roading capabilities to the excitement of open-air driving with the doors and roof removed, there are some differences between the Ford Bronco vs. Jeep Wrangler. To help you pick your new SUV, our Crest Ford team dives deeper into what these models offer below.

A Look at Their Capabilities

From snowy roads around the city to forging your own path along the mud, rocks, or sand, both SUVs offer some versatile capabilities. They also can tow up to 3,500 pounds when configured properly.

That means with either vehicle you can head north for summer camping trips, enjoy some fun on the lake in the summer, and cruise around in the winter with confidence. With high ground clearances too, you can even cross deep water. In the Wrangler, you can safely cross a creek up to 30 inches deep. Meanwhile, in the Bronco, you can navigate up to 33 inches of water.

Another area of difference between these two SUVs is the tech that helps you maneuver across tricky terrain. Only with the 2022 Bronco can you get available Trail 1-Pedal Drive, which lets you accelerate and control the brakes with one pedal for more precise handling. Additionally, optional Trail Turn Assist, which can create a sharper turning radius to make it easier to drive around obstacles.

Jeep Wrangler vs Ford Bronco: Infotainment

If you are getting a new SUV, you'll want to make sure you also pick a vehicle that has all the modern advancements to make your ride comfortable, convenient, and of course, fun!

While each offers a standard infotainment system, the SYNC® 4 system in the Bronco is a more advanced, user-friendly system. It features smartphone integration and an 8-inch touchscreen with swipe capability. The Uconnect® system in the Wrangler features smartphone integration too but has just a 7-inch touchscreen and doesn't offer swipe capability for easy control over applications and settings.

When connecting your smartphone to either car, you can jam out to all your favorite bands. Enjoy complete surround sound listening in the 2022 Bronco with the available B&O® Sound System that features 10 speakers. With the 2022 Jeep Wrangler, there is an optional 9-speaker system.

Space Inside the Bronco vs Wrangler

Of course, having an SUV means you'll gain a vehicle that can go from driving around with friends or family to being packed up for any solo excursion. You will find more space offered inside the 2022 Ford Bronco compared to the Jeep Wrangler.

Both can seat five passengers, but the Wrangler has 104 cubic feet of passenger volume, while the Bronco offers up to 108.2 cubic feet. You will also have up to 38.3 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the second row of seating in the Ford Bronco, which expands to 83 cubic feet with the row folded down.

Behind both rows of seats in the Jeep Wrangler there is 31.7 cubic feet of cargo volume. At most, it offers 72.4 cubic feet of cargo volume when its rear seats are folded.
