Extremely Detailed Look Into 2021 Ford Bronco's Engineering Designed To Take On Jeep
To get an understanding of how the 2021 Ford Bronco will stack up against the undefeated Jeep Wrangler off-road, I had to get nerdy. I interviewed the Bronco’s Chief Program Engineer and Vehicle Engineering manager, reached out to other engineering experts in the auto industry, visited a Jeep dealership to snap photos of underbody hardware, and pored over every new Bronco image I could find on the internet. I went searching for nuggets. Here’s what I learned.
It’s been well over a decade since the Jeep Wrangler has had a true off-road competitor in the U.S. market, but now there’s a new Ford Bronco, and — with its short overhangs, tremendous ground clearance, locking differentials, and other cool off-road features — it’s clearly aiming for Jeep’s jugular. Whether it hits the mark, we can only find out after a test drive. Until then, let’s go through the hardware and get input from engineers to understand how the two vehicles compare.
