2021 Ford Bronco vs Land Rover Defender

The Ford Bronco and the Land Rover Defender are two adventurous SUVs that ruled off-road paths decades ago. They are making a comeback now, but the question is: Which SUV can conquer the trails that lay before you in Burlington, Lumberton, and Medford, NJ?

Our team at Lucas Ford is here to find out. It's the 2021 Ford Bronco vs. the Land Rover Defender. Let's see who ends up on top of the mountain!

Ford Bronco vs Land Rover Defender: Off-Road Performance

The Ford Bronco has the advantage over the Land Rover Defender when scaling rough terrain. It has a 43.2-degree approach angle, so you can stare down a steep path confidently. The approach angle of the Defender tops off at 38 degrees. The Bronco also boasts more ground clearance at 11.6 inches. Its competition tops out at 11.5 inches.

The new Bronco can be outfitted with several exclusive off-road performance features that you won't find on the Defender. They include:

• G.O.A.T. Modes™
• Trail Turn Assist
• Trail One-Pedal Driving
• Sasquatch Package™

Trail Turn Assist is a unique feature that lets the Bronco turn on a dime. It can be activated when traversing the trails at low speeds. It will lock the inside rear wheel so you can pivot around trees, boulders, and underbrush.

Adventure-Ready Interiors

The 2021 Ford Bronco and the Land Rover Defender are great home bases for every adventure. They both offer two- and four-door body styles, so you can decide how much space you need for your fellow explorers and their cargo.

The interior of the Bronco is more prepared to deal with sand, mud, snow, and any other grime the journey throws at it. It offers vinyl upholstery that's durable and easy to clean. There's also optional rubberized flooring with washout capable drain plugs, so you can hose out the dirt and prepare for another round.

If you're looking to get closer to nature, you'll want to take the helm of a Ford Bronco. It comes standard with a removable roof and removable doors. You'll be one with the outdoors in a snap. The Defender offers a folding fabric roof and a sliding panoramic sunroof, but it doesn't offer the same open-air feeling of freedom.

2021 Bronco vs Defender: Innovative Technology

These SUVs will keep you connected whether you're right around the corner or way off the map. They offer Apple Carplay™ and Android Auto™, so you can keep up with your favorite apps and music. You may find the available 12-inch touchscreen in the Bronco easier to use than the 10-inch touchscreen inside the Defender.

You can rock out to your favorite trail tunes in either SUV. They both offer a 10-speaker sound system that will immerse you in the music you love.

When your journey finally takes you back into the city, both off-roading SUVs have plenty of street smarts. They both offer a blind spot monitoring system that will warn you when a vehicle is lurking alongside you. It will give you more confidence when it's time to change lanes.

The Ford Bronco Stands Victorious!

The competition was close, but the 2021 Ford Bronco topped the Land Rover Defender with exclusive off-road performance features, a more durable interior, and advanced technology. If that sounds like the off roader you need to take on Burlington, Lumberton, and Medford, New Jersey, saddle up here at Lucas Ford.
