Wrangler vs Bronco:Buy for the Trails You Actually Drive
Anthony owns a Jeep and says it rides like a brick. Mostly road miles and easy trails? He'd point you to the Bronco. Tight, serious trails? The Wrangler, and a $15K build can match a $250K Raptor.

All right, guys, welcome back. This week we've got another discussion about Jeeps vs Broncos. Here at Asphalt & Dirt, we strongly believe every car has its pros and every car has its cons.
The Jeep would be used for something like rock crawling. Serious trails, where you're actually articulating.
Now, if you're mostly on road, daily driving, and just going down a beaten path on the weekend for a little cruise, nothing too crazy, you'd probably go with a Bronco. Why? Not because the Bronco is better than the Jeep, but because the Bronco is going to give you the comfier ride to the trail.
Versus the Jeep. It's going to ride like a brick. When I say a brick, I say that because it is a solid front axle, solid rear axle. It does drive like a truck.
Everyone complains, oh, you get death wobble, and you can't keep it straight. If you've got death wobble, something is bent, something is getting worn out. If it doesn't track straight, well, you probably need to look into a wheel alignment. I'm not saying they drive great. It's a Jeep. They've come a long way.
We here at Asphalt & Dirt, we drive Jeeps for the most part. Reason being is because we kind of like to rock crawl. We like to get into questionable things.
For example, you can buy a Bronco Raptor and then you can put portals on it and put 40s, and that's $250,000 with the car right now. Or you can get a Jeep Wrangler, spend 15 grand on it, and it'd be just as capable, if not more capable.
When it comes to aftermarket, the Jeeps have a huge aftermarket, options out there versus a Bronco. They're fairly new to the game. There are things for the Broncos out there, but the Wranglers have been around a bit longer and there's a lot more options for them. People do more wheeling, I want to say, with the Jeep Wranglers. But again, that doesn't mean that people don't come out wheeling with the regular Broncos.
Now let's touch base on the Bronco Raptor, right? Cool looking truck. Got 37s on it. Awesome truck to go down a beaten path with, but that truck is super wide, so you're not fitting where a Jeep is going to fit. That's where the Jeep shines.
There is no one vehicle that's better than another. Although I prefer a Jeep over a Bronco for what I do personally, the rest is dependent on you. Other than that, guys, catch you on the next one.
