The powertrain. that's what my comment was about. Go drive it then reply. I'd be curious of your thoughts afterwards.
So you are referring to the engine only.

2020 Jeep Gladiator Overland
The Broncos aren't as good off road as a Jeep , why just recently a IFS Broncos rolled on its side and a Gladiator winched it out .
The 2.7eco-boost feature a powerful engine built to go many miles "IF" the rubber belt as wide as your pinky finger doesn't start cracking. At around 100k miles it starts to show cracks and could pop leaving ypu seconds to shut down before catastrophic damage is done to the engine.
Look to each their own . I got 130k on mine Engine runs good. I dont care what brand you go with it will have problems the Fird transmissions had a lot of priblem way more than the ZF's.
The aftermarket world for Jeep is the strongest in the entire World period !!!
No other vehicle on the planet are more parts and upgrade or just life style change pieces available than for the Jeep.
As a mattef if fact those parts stretch clear back to the early years of Jeep.
Again no other vehicle has that kind of aftermarket support. Ya want to know why ??
Because Jeep's are cool and the rest are just trying to grab a piece of the market .
Jeeps rock Fords suck. The End.
They are called "Eco-Booms" for a reason. My past experience with one, led me to JEEP. History, I was a "Died" in BLUE Ford guy.
