It's been 25 years since the Ford Bronco has graced our presence, but it's back for 2021, and we are thrilled to be able to share this impressive new Ford SUV with our customers. The Ford Bronco was once an iconic off-road SUV fit for trails, mountains, and much more! This may sound familiar to what the Jeep Wrangler focuses on, making the Jeep Wrangler one of the Ford Bronco's biggest and most noteworthy competitors. But how does the Ford Bronco step ahead of the game? 

The 2021 Ford Bronco is the new kid on the block. The Bronco comes heavily equipped with some of the most advanced off-road features from Ford, and you'll certainly feel inspired to push the boundaries once behind the wheel.

Let's take a look at how the Ford Bronco compares to the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon so you can make your reservation for a new Ford Bronco today at Chiefland Ford in Chiefland.

Comparing Dimension

The Ford Bronco is a bit longer with a length of 190.5-inches compared to the Jeep Wrangler with a length of 188.4-inches. The Ford Bronco also increases the wheelbase by about two additional inches compared to the Jeep Wrangler.

Off-Road Capability

This is what these models are all about showing off. But the Ford Bronco pulls ahead here as well with better off-road geometry.

The Rubicon gets 33-inch tires as standard, but the Ford Bronco Badlands edition comes with 35-inch tires making it much more menacing to not only look at but drive in Old Town, FL.

When it comes to approach angles, the Rubicon and Badlands are very similar, but if you want to get further while water fording, the Bronco will get you there with a bit more ease. The Rubicon features a water fording depth of 30-inches, and the Bronco provides you with an additional 3.3-inches.
