I think it would be an absolutely fascinating experience to drive in the outdoors with a silent motor. Just for that alone, I would lean toward the Wrangler.

This off road video has everything. TFL just hit on so many competitive points among LR, Jeep, Bronco, and EVs (29 mins)

Care to provide a summary? But would love to know how the Sasquatch and Rubicon

From this video I think Sasquatch buyers and Rubicon buyers will come away feeling good.

Nice to see some actual off roading in one of these reviews. Shows that there’s

Great find Tok, thanks. I've been back and forth about 100 times on whether to

Lumbar support was the difference? Jeep wins, imo.

Funny enough, something like that does become a big consideration. There are at least two of us, in this thread, who...

Okay. Jeep still wins for me regardless of lumbar support advantage to Bronco.

I agree. Here is what I said in a sub-thread of this thread that may not be visible...

My Rubicon does have lumbar support.....? Manual, but it's there

Didn't realize the Bronco was wider than a Wrangler. The extra maneuverability with a slimmer vehicle makes sense....

So if you are trailering your rig to the trail, that video is excellent. I would be interested in how the Jeep drives on

Advantage Rover then Bronco. But Jeeps are now comfortable enough to road trip.

That would be cool — for a few miles — until the gas engine kicked in.

It's been a few days since I watched the vid, but didn't it only go like 2 miles on a full charge?

Hank Rearden

7/30/21 11:08am

Yeah. Going that slow seemed to really drain the battery.

crack

7/30/21 11:09am

Which is why full EV off roaders are impractical, but a hybrid would rock. Sure it went a few miles, but that

I may be misremembering, but I think the guy said Jeep only went about 25 miles on the highway in EV mode before battery

SierraCoug

7/30/21 11:17am

Correct. 25-30 miles rated highway is about 3 miles on the trail. It's a mild hybrid. The 400 mile rated Rivian during
