I was asked if I had to decide between my 2026 Ranger or my 2024 Bronco, and had to keep only one, which one would I choose?
Here is the Ranger:
With 405 horsepower, and it being new to me, it has the advantage.
Here is the Bronco:
It is a 2-Door with the 2.7 twin turbo and a quite rare Bronco with the Badlands Package and the LUX package. 4-Doors are most common. In 2025, this package was only available in the Stroop Edition, which with the color scheme, it looks like a candy corn with blue mold on one end (opinion).
The Bronco is definitely better for rock crawling off-road parks, which this one has proved worthy.
The Ranger is still capable off-road, but in a different environment as opposed to the Bronco when it tries to prove itself.
The Bronco handing is kinda mushy... the Ranger is more planted.
The Bronco is more fun to drive off-road, and the Ranger is better on road.
The Ranger is quicker.
The Bronco is cuter.
If I had to pick only one, I would pick the Ranger Raptor.................. but I will NEVER get rid of the Bronco!
I do love the Bronco and always look forward to driving it.
The Raptor is just on a different level...!!!
