2025 Ford Bronco Outshines The Competition

Jul 11, 2025

2025 Ford Bronco vs Jeep Wrangler vs Toyota 4Runner: Kansas City’s Off-Road SUV Showdown

2025 Ford Bronco Updates

Kansas City SUV shoppers looking for a rugged, trail-ready ride in 2025 are comparing three legendary names: the Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler, and Toyota 4Runner. While all three bring a heritage of off-road prowess, only one combines old-school capability with modern technology and everyday comfort—the 2025 Bronco.

Off-Road Capabilities: Bronco Rips Through the Trails

  • Up to 13.1 inches of ground clearance
  • Available Sasquatch™ Package with 35” tires and front/rear locking differentials
  • Terrain Management System™ with G.O.A.T. Modes™
  • Trail Turn Assist, Trail Control™, and more

Wrangler still offers great capability, especially in Rubicon trims, but suffers from limited visibility and on-road manners. 4Runner hasn’t evolved much and lags in trail tech.

Powertrain Options: Bronco Brings the Heat

  • Turbo 2.3L I-4 (300 hp) or 2.7L EcoBoost V6 (330 hp)
  • Raptor 3.0L V6 (418 hp)
  • Wrangler: 2.0L Turbo, 3.6L V6, or 4xe PHEV (375 hp)
  • 4Runner: 4.0L V6 (270 hp)

On-Road Comfort and Daily Use

Kansas City drivers aren’t just hitting the trails—they’re commuting, shopping, and hauling. Bronco wins with:

  • Independent front suspension (vs Wrangler’s solid front axle)
  • Quieter cabin and modern interior finishes
  • Easier ingress/egress and more refined handling

Interior Tech and Features

  • 12” SYNC 4 touchscreen
  • Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™
  • 360° camera with off-road views
  • OTA updates and off-road navigation

Customization and Accessories

  • Removable doors and roof panels
  • Factory lift kits, snorkels, beadlock-capable wheels
  • Dozens of Ford Performance Parts accessories

Price Comparison and Value

  • Bronco Base: ~$39,000
  • Wrangler Sport: ~$38,500
  • 4Runner SR5: ~$41,000

Real Kansas City Driver Reviews

“I take my Bronco to Clinton Lake and back every weekend. Smooth on I-70, beast off it.” – Ethan W., Overland Park

“Switched from Wrangler to Bronco—better tech, better visibility, better ride.” – Natalie M., Kansas City, MO

Final Verdict: Bronco Wins Kansas City’s Off-Road SUV Battle

From daily drives to Ozark trails, the 2025 Ford Bronco outshines the Wrangler and 4Runner in performance, comfort, and trail-readiness. It’s modern, muscular, and made to roam.
