The 2023 Wrangler is expected to have a slightly below average reliability rating. However, other sources give it a rating of 3.5 out of five for its trust score, making it average.

The 2022 Wrangler and 2022 Bronco both have four recalls, but the 2023 Wrangler has two, while the 2023 Bronco has none yet.

People are still putting miles on the new Bronco, so it’s hard to determine how many miles it can last. But the Jeep Wrangler should make it between 250,000 and 300,000 miles. Some are still going after 400,000 miles.

Also, the Ford Bronco has slightly better road handling than the Jeep Wrangler. It has independent front suspension to improve its cornering, while the Wrangler has a solid axle setup.

The Bronco is less stiff and stiff, with a quieter interior. But the solid axle makes the Wrangler more durable.
