[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I much prefer the Bronco to a Jeep Wrangler.  Bronco is much roomier inside, and the base 2.3L EcoBoost® Engine has been used for several years in the Mustang and Explorer.  [/quote]

The Jeep engines, in particular the NA 3.6L, are a better engine the 2.3/2.7 EcoBoost. Ford has had numerous issues with the boost intercooler, bearings in the turbocharger, oil sludge formation, piston ring erosion, and bad valve springs. Basically the turbocharger beats the engine to death over time because of the boost pressures.

The Jeep 3.6L, other than being a VVTi engine with hydraulic lifters, is still a pretty primitive motor, and that lends durability and long term reliability. There’s about 2 million Jeeps running around with the 3.6L right now, not too mention several dozen million more Ram pick ups and Dodge minivans with the same motor. That’s a much better track record than the EcoBoost.

As for roomier? They’re virtually identical.

Just say you hate Jeeps. At least be honest about it.
