Can the new Bronco stack up against the Jeep Wrangler?

Post up your rigs. I just sold my xj earlier this year. Mine is the orange one in the rear.

Haven’t taken the 4runner on any good trails. The Taco has served me well. I’ve done more technical stuff but I don’t usually take pictures there...

Honestly like them too, I considered one but they just don't really do anything well and when I looked at some pre owned (2015-2017) they all looked like they were falling apart so I just didn't bother looking any harder. If I were going to go midsize it would be the Canyon/Colorado.

thats odd. Tacomas are the most reliable and best aging midsize truck in the market by far. Canyon and Colorados are a joke compared to it.

This is a quick video I found and it shows the lack of articulation you get with IFS. There’s a handful of examples just in the first 5 minutes.

Ill take a look at the video, im sure it will be informative

Can’t stand that guy. He talks to much with little video or comparisons.


That’s not what the wrangler faithful say. Then again, to get anywhere they need to add a 6+ long arm suspension.

Too bad the ranger looks like crap!

A matter of opinion, i actually had one as a loaner from ford for a week, i actually liked it. Didnt do anything crazy to compare. But as far as power, ride quality, and inside comfort it kicks the crap out of the Tacoma

you should also consider this vid. Stock Tacoma with a display of what the IFS can do.

Those are nice rigs, I would be waaay to ****ing scared about smashing them up off-road lol.

Tacoma kicks Ranger in the teeth. The only way a Ranger will be better for you is if you are a senior citizen or don’t use it off road at all.

That video shows, at least to me, why ifs sucks. There just isn’t any articulation.

Moab is almost cheating because all the rocks there are like sand paper lol

I already have some small scars on the Taco, it’s part of the game. I have actually thought about picking up an XJ. Love those heels as well. So good looking.

I mean, it definitely won’t be like a built solid axle but you can make a decent articulating ISF. Will just take a bit more coin.

A new ranger fx4 ,

Ive driven Tacomas have 2 buddies with them, 1 is manual other is an auto. Not impressed at all with them.

Not from the videos i have seen stock for stock.

You’re right, all it will take is money

I’m wanting to pick up another rig since I sold mine. Mine was setup more for the Midwest stuff where I was at, mostly muddy rutted out trails with some hills and off camber stuff.

I really noticed how not ideal it was when I moved to the PNW and wheeled with those guys. I hung with them with no issues but I could definitely see what needed to be changed with my rig.

I don’t like the rounded front end. I was for a new ranger as long as it did not look like the world ranger. It looks like the world ranger because ford took the half assed route.

Never drive one because of it. It it looked like a small 2017-2020 250 it would be badass!

Got links?

Got links?

2016 manual 4x4 with the 4 cylinder motor.

2018 with the newer 3.5 v6 automatic TRD package. Front end looks good on them.

The ranger gets alot of mixed opinions on looks. Some like it, some dont. But essentially looks is always a matter of opinion.

Meh, you are just biased. Around here where we get winter the Toyota's don't fare too well, time and time again I see Toyotas with issues like any other truck but it's always some kind of weird denial from the owners. I've never had a single issue with any Ford vehicle I've owned, guess they are also 100% reliable

 

[blk02edge]

This thread has really made me want to get to work on my old ranger, that's for sure

Glad to see the bronco add another name in the game my family is a die hard jeep family but are leaving them due to reliability... I have always been the black sheep and driven Toyota 4x4's but know their limitations with that being said it would be nice to see another serious mid size competitor.... The Tacoma in the picture below is under a bit of construction since this picture was taken .... The turdrunner has seen a ton of action since we built it in 2014 and it's been flat bedded one time after it met a big azz rock at speed. lol .. All in all I have been super happy with my Yotas but I am glad to see Ford get in the IFS 4x4 game as it's nice to see another future option.

After some high speed fun...

You are not having fun till something breaks lol...
