When you’re looking for adventure, the 2022 Jeep Gladiator and the 2022 Ford Bronco can take you there. No matter whether your destination is a lake, a campground, or the nearest national park, these ready-for-anything models are here to help you confidently get from Point A to Point B.
Which model will be able to do it best? Our team at Country Chrysler Dodge Jeep RAM finds out with this Jeep Gladiator vs. Ford Bronco comparison below. After you’ve found out about the winner, you can take on the Oxford, PA, Lancaster, PA, and Elkton, MD trails by storm with it.
HORSEPOWER
TOWING CAPACITY
FOLD-DOWN WINDSHIELD
Under the hood of every good pickup truck is a high-strength engine, providing the power and the zip needed to complete your daily tasks. Starting with the Ford Bronco, you’ll have a standard 2.3L EcoBoost® engine that provides 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. This versatile truck can tow up to 7,500 pounds when properly equipped.
Their strength can truly be seen through their maximum towing capacities when properly equipped:
- Jeep Gladiator: 7,650 pounds
- Ford Bronco: 4,500 pounds
While the Bronco puts out a valiant effort, the Gladiator can tow heavier toys overall. So, if you own a camper or a boat, the Jeep may be the stronger option to choose when you’re ready to visit the campground or your favorite fishing spot.
What do mountain biking, hiking, and kayaking have in common? All of these require some form of safety equipment! Similarly, the Jeep Gladiator and the Ford Bronco allow you to indulge in Mother Nature’s playground.
To keep you out of harm’s way, both models can be equipped with these available safety systems:
- Full-Speed Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking Blind Spot Monitoring Rear Cross Path Detection
However, it is the Jeep that continues to watch your back, even after you’ve arrived at your destination. ParkSense® Rear Park Assist uses sonar sensors to detect obstacles behind the Gladiator when backing into a parking spot. Unfortunately, the Ford Bronco goes without similar parking sensors.
It also doesn't have an available Corning® Gorilla® Glass windshield—a durable windshield available in the Gladiator that offers greater resistance to cracks and chips caused by kicked-up off-road debris.
One of the key differences between the Jeep Gladiator and the Ford Bronco is that the Jeep is a truck while the Bronco is an SUV. Despite their difference in body style, both models allow you to experience open-air freedom with their removable tops and doors!
However, if you really want to experience your adventure, the Gladiator adds a few additional ways for you to do so:
- Fold-down windshield: This segment-exclusive windshield is perfect for those unafraid of experiencing the elements head on.
- Available half doors: You can increase your visibility by removing the windows from the doors.
Unfortunately, the Bronco doesn't offer either of these features, which creates a unique riding experience for everyone in the cabin. As an SUV, the Ford is also missing the Gladiator’s all-steel 5-foot cargo bed, which boasts a best-in-class 1,700-pound payload when properly equipped!
This extra utility space is perfect for loading up dirt bikes, camping gear, or home renovation supplies. The cargo bed can also function as a bed! If you want to experience sleeping under the stars, all you have to do is throw a blanket down and get comfortable.
While the Bronco has impressive trunk space of its own, it lacks a cargo bed, which can come in handy when you need room for any gear that doesn’t need to be towed.
Let’s be honest, both the 2022 Jeep Gladiator and the 2022 Ford Bronco will satisfy your next adventure. However, thanks to its greater towing power, unique safety features, and exceptional cargo bed, we believe that the Jeep Gladiator will be able to adapt to any Oxford, PA, Lancaster, PA, and Elkton, MD, adventures in your path.
