There will be SOME Broncos that hold their own against Jeeps but it’s gonna take more money on the Bronco’s end being that the IFS can be a big disadvantage depending on terrain. I foresee shops putting solid front axles in serious Bronco’s.

But let’s be honest. Most Broncos and Jeeps are pavement princesses like most rangers and never see mud or mods . ??‍♂?

They are two different vehicles, with two different engineering for thought, to accomplish two different goals.
The positive and negative pendulum will swing both ways, in these comparroes.
Me personally, I’ll take Ford bronco, just like I’ll take a Ford Mustang over the dodge demon. It’s all about what you want.

She/they are allot to take in, but they have some bad ass jeeps, and do allot of wheeling videos. They love the Broncos too, not sure where the bashing idea came from in this thread. I didn't see any bashing in the video, and considering the other guy called them out, only some very light chirping. Like Trevor, I think until it goes SFA it's not taking the title from Jeep on rocks.

id take a bronco. it will do all i care to do. i do not have enough throw away income to take a brand new pricey rig and beat up over rocks... i like some jeeps. i like some jeep peeps. some jeeps and jeep peeps make me want anything but a jeep. i also like reliability and to be brutal honest FCA is not hitting grand slams in that area. not that ford really is either but, ford is typically a tad higher on the reliability ratings than jeep . I had a yj. it was fun, capable and sold when it was ragged.

From the little I was able to watch seems like the expected outcome.

Other than blowing up the steering he got a nice gaff in the passenger door doing that first run
And notice he (the Bronco) went around the second obstacle where the Jeep showed it muscle and flexed on that big rock. :muscle:?

Part 2 is already out. Adam should be a little happier with the results of this one. ?

Spoiler under the video for those who don't want to suffer through 29:00.

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.

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. ?
