Ford Bronco vs. The Competition

A comparison of capabilities

The Ford Bronco charges into the lead when it comes to overall value. Not only can you buy a new Ford Bronco for less than what you'd pay for the Land Rover Defender and the Chevy Blazer but you can also get sporty performance with the Bronco's standard 7-speed manual transmission. That gives you the kind of active driver engagement that lets you be a driving manager instead of just a passive spectator. Unfortunately for Chevrolet, the Chevy Blazer offers Battle Mountain and Carlin NV buyers nothing but an automatic transmission. In fact, today's Chevy Blazer no longer competes with off-road vehicles like the Ford Bronco and is more properly compared with the Ford Edge.

In addition, the new Ford Bronco can give you as much as 315 horsepower which gives you an advantage over the Chevy Blazer with only 308 horsepower. When the experts at Motor Trend took the Ford Bronco Raptor and the Jeep Wrangler out for a competition in the great outdoors, the Ford Bronco easily won without engaging low range. Unfortunately for the Wrangler, there were times when it required multiple attempts or approach angles to cover the same terrain as the Bronco Raptor.

A comparison of safety technologies

The Ford Bronco has safety technologies that help keep you and your family safe as you travel along Nevada highways. The Bronco's standard trailer sway control system helps you stay in complete command of whatever you're towing. What's more, the Ford Bronco has an AdvanceTrac® with RSOC® Roll Stability Control to give you more confidence when you're navigating tough terrain. The Jeep Wrangler doesn't put a high priority on safety, offering only standard features like front automatic emergency braking and adaptive cruise control.
