Compare the 2023 Defender 130Near Columbus, OH
Somewhere in the world, a 2023 Defender 130 is traversing wide-open grasslands or steep mountain passes, its driver aiming toward once-impossible destinations. Elsewhere, a Defender 130 sits gleaming at a country club valet stand, freshly washed from its latest adventure and turning the heads of everyone passing by. And right here in Greater Columbus, Defender SUVs are fresh from the factory, awaiting the chance to show off their incredible breadth of capability.
To give you a taste of what this legendary model can do, our Defender dealership near Columbus compared the 2023 Defender 130 specs to those of the 2023 Ford Bronco. In our Defender vs. Bronco matchup, one thing is clear: the Bronco just doesn't compete with the inimitable Defender 130.
2023 Defender 130Specs vs. Competition
The 2023 Defender SUV is known for excellent performance both on and off the road, and the various Defender engine options all support that reputation. The most powerful of these is a 493-horsepower V8, which delivers exceptional power. The top Bronco engine, by contrast, is down two cylinders and 65 horsepower.
Comparing the Bronco and Defender towing capacity figures further underscores how the new Ford SUV simply isn't at the same level of its British-engineered counterpart. With the Bronco, tow ratings top out at 4,500 pounds. The Defender? You can trailer up to 8,201 pounds without the Defender 4WD system, transmission or chassis ever breaking a sweat. That's what world-beating capability looks like -- and it's now available at our Ohio Defender dealer.
