Ford Bronco
The original Ford Bronco launched in 1966 as Ford's answer to the Jeep CJ and International Harvester Scout, building a loyal off-road following across five generations before Ford discontinued it in 1996 in favor of the larger, more truck-like Expedition. Ford revived the Bronco for the 2021 model year on a body-on-frame platform shared with the Ranger pickup, built specifically to compete head-on with the Jeep Wrangler — removable doors, a fold-down windshield on some trims, and a modular roof system all directly mirror the Wrangler's own open-air off-road formula. The Bronco's available "Sasquatch Package" adds 35-inch off-road tires, a locking front and rear differential, and a beadlock-capable wheel design, giving buyers a factory-built alternative to the aftermarket lift-and-tire upgrades off-road enthusiasts have traditionally had to source separately for other stock SUVs. Built at Ford's Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, the revived Bronco's rapid rise as a genuine direct rival to the Wrangler — something no other manufacturer had managed for decades — reflects both Ford's own off-road engineering investment and a broader surge in consumer demand for factory-capable off-roaders through the 2020s.
VS
Toyota 4Runner
The Toyota 4Runner has kept its body-on-frame truck-based construction across every generation since its 1984 debut, a deliberate holdout even as most other midsize SUVs, including several of Toyota's own models, shifted to unibody car-based platforms for better fuel economy and on-road ride comfort. That truck-frame construction, shared with the Tacoma pickup, gives the 4Runner genuine towing capacity and off-road durability that unibody crossovers generally can't match, and the TRD Pro trim adds Fox Racing shocks, a locking rear differential, and off-road-tuned suspension specifically aimed at serious trail use rather than just a rugged look. The 4Runner has built one of the strongest long-term reliability reputations of any SUV sold in the US, regularly topping long-term dependability surveys and holding resale values well above most competitors, a track record that's made it a particularly popular choice among overlanding and vehicle-based camping enthusiasts specifically planning to keep and modify a single vehicle for a decade or more. Built primarily in Tahara, Japan, the 4Runner's continued commitment to body-on-frame construction long after most of the segment abandoned it has made it one of the last genuinely truck-based midsize SUVs still sold new, prized specifically by buyers who value off-road durability and long-term reliability over car-like on-road refinement.
