The 2025 Jeep Wrangler is here, and to show you why it should be your next vehicle, we’ll be putting it up against the Bronco to show you why the Wrangler is the best off-road vehicle on the market.
Key takeaways
- The Bronco was taken down by a Wrangler, proving that it is better in more ways, both off-road, and in the hearts of many.
- The Wrangler comes with some of the best factory options, ranging from massive wheels, to snorkels.
- Despite the Wrangler having a rugged look, and feel, it still comes with a larger infotainment screen. All while being cheaper.
- When you get a Wrangler, you join the Jeep family, and with it comes a rich heritage. The same can't be said about the Bronco.
Which is better at off-roading: Wrangler
When looking at the two models, there’s only one model that has enjoyed decades of dominance, and that’s the Jeep. Having been around since 1986, Jeep has been perfecting the Wrangler for decades.
The 2025 model comes with some of the best, and easiest to use, features. Car and Driver designated it as the “OG off-roader”. While this vehicle can go on the road, it shines better off-road. This is thanks to the massive 37-inch tires that can be found when properly equipped. If you so choose, you can even add a snorkel straight from the factory. This helps you conquer even more terrain.
While the Bronco also offers traditional Wrangler features like removable doors, and roof, it doesn't offer the same 37-inch tires, and snorkel from the factory. If you do decide to opt for more off-roading gear, Car and Driver notes that “fuel economy takes a big hit with the good off-roading gear.” Just another reason to go with the Wrangler. While this doesn’t mean that it’s a bad off-road SUV, the Ford Bronco just can’t hang with the original.
Which has a better price: Wrangler
When it comes to price, the Wrangler is a bit cheaper. For the two door builds, the Wrangler starts at $32,690, while the Bronco starts at $37,995 for their two door build. While the Bronco may come with more features, the beauty of the Wrangler is its primal feel. This comes with a few manual features to help keep it feeling like it did since it was first introduced.
That doesn't mean that it doesn't come with some modern tech features, though. The Wrangler comes with a 12.3-inch infotainment system, which is larger compared to the Bronco’s 12-inch system. At $5,000 more, you would expect the Bronco to have the best features, but that is not the case.
Which is more appealing: Wrangler
When it comes to the appeal of either model, the one that the Wrangler has is unmatched. If you’re wanting to be a part of a community, you have the Jeep Wave. And have you heard of the Duck Duck Jeep movement? If you want some of the best aftermarket support, Jeep offers tons. If you want something that is proudly American, and has been for almost 100 years, there’s the Jeep. Having its roots being operated by the Greatest Generation the world has seen.
The Bronco just can’t match that level of prestige, having been discontinued at one point due to lack of interest. Giving another reason why the Wrangler should be your next off-road model.
Which off-roader is better: 2025 Wrangler or 2025 Bronco?
The answer is clear, the 2025 Wrangler is not only cheaper, but offers more off-road prowess, and does it at a better price. Owning a Jeep brings you into a great community, and on that helped shape America into what it is today. The Wrangler is the best there is, and the best there will be.
