2022 Ford Bronco vs Toyota 4Runner
2022 Ford Bronco vs 2022 Toyota 4Runner
Choosing an SUV to buy between the 2022 Ford Bronco and the Toyota 4Runner is a matter of choosing the best features for your lifestyle. We break down the reasons why the 2022 Ford Bronco is the best SUV below.
Off-road Capabilities
The Bronco and 4Runner are superb SUVs for off-road use. However, the Bronco is a stronger contender with its long list of off-road features, including the G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) drive modes, its electronic locking differentials, trail control, turn assist, a transfer case, and bash plates.
Steering
For the Bronco, a smooth ride is imperative, and this includes steering. The Bronco, unlike the Toyota 4Runner, has BILSTEIN steering dampers. These race car-worthy steering dampers inhibit uncontrolled movement in the steering mechanism, sometimes known as wobble. With controlled movement in the steering wheel from dampers, the Bronco's steering handles better than the 4Runner.
Safety
For safety, the Bronco is ahead of the 4Runner. The front and rear seats of the Ford Bronco protect passengers better with shoulder belts equipped with pretensioners to tighten seat belts. This eliminates dangerous slack during a collision, holding passengers and drivers snug and safe. The Bronco also has force limiters to limit the pressure belts exert on passengers and drivers.
The 4Runner has less safety for its seat belts without offering rear seat belt pretensioners. This lack of safety extends to the 4Runner braking system. The Bronco has standard post-collision braking to automatically apply brakes during a crash and help prevent secondary collisions. The 4Runner doesn't have this post-collision braking.
With its superior off-road capabilities, steering, and safety, the 2022 Ford Bronco is the SUV to consider for your next purchase.
