FORD BRONCO vs JEEP WRANGLER - Can It Rock Crawl?!

[AzScorpion]

"Wow, so how did the Broncos steering system even survive turning off the pavement and doing all this"

I bet they had an aftermarket one in there and didn't tell us. A stock one would've broke on that first little rock. ?

These guys make good videos. Personally I would've aired the Bronco down to 16 psi but it did a pretty good job at 25 psi. It's always nice when you have some good experienced spotters along, it makes it a lot less stressful.

Indeed, knowledgeable spotters are invaluable. PSI is a tough balance on lower clearance vehicles, tough finding the right balance.

I still see the Bronco as the minivan/soccer mom wannabe Jeep. A more rugged looking Cherokee of sorts.

I really don't think so. For 90-95% of what people do Ford really did there Homework. The Rubicon's are really fantastic, but to be fair if I was doing anything remotely close to what is shown in the video(Me personally would never) I would have a dedicated rock crawler built from an older vehicle

I'm missing your point. 90-95% are going to use these as rock crawlers?

Not as extreme rock crawlers.

You spelled mall wrong

I like the Bronco, but like Jeep and Ranger, I don't think most will ever leave the asphalt or concrete.

As with most trucks and real SUVs ?

I was at the dealer yesterday, and they had two Broncos on the lot. Both were 4-doors with soft tops. I honestly think they are ugly, and the tops didn’t fit well. I’d like to see a 2-door hard top in person. The proportions look more similar to the original Bronco, at least in photos.

IMHO The 2dr hard top Broncos look so much better. The 4dr look to big and I never was a fan of the soft top even on a Jeep. I was able to drive this one at an event here and it was pretty sweet!

Agreed for both Broncos and Jeeps.

The four doors are hideous. 2 door is where it's at.

I prefer the 2dr hard top as well, even more if it's pre-1991

What's funny is in my area, soccer moms are the only ones who drive Jeeps.

We have our share out here too, there's a lot here too that drive the Jeep Sport. Now that I have one coming in it's crazy how many I notice now. They're everywhere. lol

We don't have much rock crawling here in corn and cow country. Around here Jeeps are generally considered a toy without much real use outside of being able to see the ladies driving them with the tops off in the summer.

We never had many places to wheel back east either. I've always had a F150 but mostly because of the winters, snowmobiling and the muddy job sites I was on. Out here you have endless desert riding and just 90 minutes away is Sedona where there's tons of decent trails. That area is littered with Jeeps though, you can throw a rock and hit a dozen different ones. lol
