2025 Ford Bronco, 2025 Jeep Wrangler, 2025 Toyota 4Runner: Full Comparison
The Jeep Wrangler fields the widest trim range at 13 trims. The Toyota 4Runner tows the most of the group at 6,000 lb. None of these is a flat upgrade over the others — the right pick depends on which of those axes matters for the job. This comparison weighs Ford Bronco, Jeep Wrangler, Toyota 4Runner using each vehicle's own verified manufacturer and EPA-sourced facts instead of a single averaged rating: together they cover 28 trims across 9 linked sources, so any one of them can be checked against its own primary record instead of taken on this page's summary alone. Configuration, not badge name, decides which one actually fits a specific job. Check the exact trim and powertrain before treating any single vehicle's specification as settled, and open each full record below for the complete sourced trail.

6,000 lb, ahead of the Jeep Wrangler's Up to 5,000 lb, the Ford Bronco's Up to 4,500 lb. Maximums require the specific powertrain and equipment noted in each full record.
Widest trim choice: Jeep Wrangler

Technology and what changed
3 answers, one per truck's tech and latest model-year change.
Q01What changed for the 2025 Bronco?
Ownership
Stroppe Edition joins the range. Bronco Raptor specifications and towing should remain separate from the standard Bronco family.

Q02What changed for the 2025 Wrangler?
Ownership
Body, powertrain and axle configuration control towing and capability. A Rubicon 4xe is not the same record as a gas Rubicon or Rubicon 392.

Q03What changed for the 2025 4Runner?
