Comparison Review

Comfort
Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Ford Bronco than in the Toyota 4Runner. The Ford Bronco will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Toyota 4Runner.

Convenience
With the Toyota 4Runner, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Ford Bronco, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Whether you pick the Ford Bronco or the Toyota 4Runner, it's going to cost you about the same.

Dimensions
Since the Ford Bronco is much slimmer than the Toyota 4Runner, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. The Ford Bronco is slightly shorter than the Toyota 4Runner, which may make it easier to park.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Toyota 4Runner is clearly the choice over the Ford Bronco for pulling heavy loads. In terms of horsepower, it's a virtual tie between the Ford Bronco and the Toyota 4Runner.

Powertrain
With similar torque, the Ford Bronco and the Toyota 4Runner are about even in transmitting their respective horsepower to the wheels.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit about the same number of people in both the Ford Bronco and the Toyota 4Runner. The Ford Bronco has less cargo space than the Toyota 4Runner, which is okay if you don't need to move a lot in one trip.
