I gotta quit looking at these

[572 savoy]

Just don't try to drag race a 392 Rubicon....

There's 2 sizes?

Yes, Bronco and Bronco Sport. The Bronco Sport is the smaller of the 2.

I haven't seen any videos of any TRX's doing the degree of rock crawling these folks are doing. It's almost like they're intent on busting their rigs.

TRX is a rock crusher, not a rock climber at 8,000 lbs...

🤣🤣🤣

Wheelbase or overall?

Yeah.....it's like asking a fat chick to climb an extension ladder and get something off the roof

You're not comparing vehicles in the same class. Compare it to the Jeep.

Sounds like you've never seen a photo of my Jeep. And no, I wouldn't take the TRX on the same trails. It would be very obvious that it's been rolled a few times.

Not sure about wheelbase, but the "Sport" is the grocery getter smaller one. The regular Bronco is now considered the "full-size" Bronco.

When you see the two near each other you can definitely see the difference. Look them up on the web and you'll see the differences in the pics.

I'd rather just ask you as a piece of conversation. Not really interested in the bronco.

I didn't bring the TRX into the comparison, someone else mentioned it.

I have no problem comparing the Bronco to the peer Jeep model. There's +/- to both.

Always is. Nothing is perfect otherwise there would only be 1.

Blue one is the "full-size" Bronco, the other one is the Bronco Sport

I never noticed. The big one has a V8?

Unfortunately no. We all wish that it did. 4 banger or turbo V6 are your choices in the full-size one. Although some packages only come with one or the other, no option on powerplant.

I forgot that most fords are turbo these days.

I wish the 5.0 in my F150 was turbo'd or came with a blower, that would be awesome.

maybe a nice Whipple SC would be a good way to spend part of my tax refund.

If one of these had a V8 in it, I couldn't control myself. The TT V6 making over 400 ft/lbs is respectable though, but the engine is horrendous to look at.

When I heard rumors the Jeep would be getting a 392 my ears perked up. So I rented one for a week to get a feel for it. I hate to say it but it was the worst driving vehicle I've ever driven. So noisy I couldn't have a conversation with my wife without yelling, rattles, and wandered all over the road so much it made me nervous to drive it at hwy speed. Maybe you get used to all that over time, but for someone driving one for the first time it was very under whelming. If they only cost $30K since they're basically unchanged in 40 years I could forgive a lot of that, but the one we drove was a $50K model. Ridiculous.

I absolutely LOVE my Toyota 4Runner and have always wanted an FJ40, but it's more of the same as the Jeep. There's a company making a modern version with a supercharged 4.0L Toyota V6 and 5 speed manual that I'd be all over, but not for the $200K asking price!

The 392 Wranglers are going for the $80K+ range.

Exactly, that just stupid money for a Jeep and I didn't like that it was full time AWD either.

fender flares is a easy way to tell the difference. The bigger one has them
