That's a very good point.It’s great write up, but I really wish there was a video. How do they do a 36 mile trail ride and come back with just photos and an article?
I thought the same thing. Is the Cherokee TH markedly more expensive than the BL + BL? I never really looked at any of the Jeeps because I've never really been a fan, but I'm admittedly a "Ford guy"It's puzzling that MT is comparing the Jeep Compass TH to the BS BL. It's really the Cherokee TH that would be cross shopped to the BL. The real world pricing of Cherokee to BS is very close within $1k depending on incentives and offers, and the engines are very similar in hp & torque numbers, unlike the Compass. Plus the Cherokee TH low range and rear locker are additional reasons to compare to the BL. I didn't even look at the Compass when I went to the Jeep dealer, straight to the Cherokee V6.
Not attempting to be argumentative but this claim doesn't sound right. Maybe you meant "I find GRAND Cherokee shoppers are usually shopping and comparing the Explorer more so than they would the Bronco Sport based on interior capacity and overall size"? That would make a little more sense due to them being in the same class. The Explorer has an option for third-row seating, more cargo space, more engine HP, etc. than the Cherokee so they really don't compare well.I find Cherokee shoppers are usually shopping and comparing the Explorer more so than they would the Bronco Sport based on interior capacity and overall size.
I was cross shopping the BL (no options) to the Cherokee TH and BL was about $500 more. It depends a lot on incentives and offers available at the time but pricing was so close as to not be a factor.I thought the same thing. Is the Cherokee TH markedly more expensive than the BL + BL?

6’7” here and agree completely.I couldn't believe how brutal the headroom was in the Jeep Trailhawk and the Toyota 4Runner. I'm 6'3" and even with the moonroof, my hair isn't touching the top of the Bronco Sport. And the floor is deeper too which makes for way more comfortable upright seating. I love the 4Runners and the Tacomas but Toyota really seems to build them for guys 5'9" or less or with really short legs, cuz they bring the floor up so high to gain extra ground clearance that sometimes it feels like you are sitting on the floor!
I maintain that Ford has hit a home run with the BS, giving me everything I wanted in a daily driver: great looks, comfort, features and ergonomics....to go along with awesome power in the 2.0 and way more 4X4 capacity then I will ever need (but always nice to have, just in case). If I had anything to tow I doubt I would have even gone with a Big Bronco...probably just would have sucked it up and bought the F-150 or the Ranger.
