The Ford Bronco is a nameplate associated with ruggedness, adventure and off-road ability. After reemerging in the automotive market, it didn't take long for the Bronco to once again become a top player within the world of SUVs; renowned for both its unmatched level of ruggedness and power. Whether crawling up a rugged mountain trail, rolling over rocky pursuits or just hustling through daily adventures this may be the most versatile and capable Bronco you have driven.
1. Strong Construction and Durable Build
Ford has engineered the Bronco to be extremely durable so it can tackle any trail, handle rough terrain and hold up over time.
- Fully boxed, high-strength steel frame: Bronco’s foundation is a fully boxed, high-strength steel chassis with six crossmembers for structural stiffness. The Ladder Frame has been designed to withstand impacts from rocks and uneven terrain. This gives the vehicle added strength (for safety and stability), as well.
- Rugged Exterior Materials: The Bronco is made with high-strength materials that are built to withstand just about anything Mother Nature or the trail throws at them. Body panels are a blend of high-strength steel and aluminum, intended to provide strength as well save weight. The exterior of the Bronco is designed to be corrosion-resistant, so it can withstand mud and water along with salt.
- With heavy-duty suspension: The Bronco has a robust, trail-tackling system built in. This is a system that uses independent front suspension with forged steel parts and once more a solid rear axle, but one equipped instead with a five-link mechanism. This set-up will ensure the required strength but adequately comfort and control for riding around town as well. Available Bilstein™ monotube shocks with end-stop control valves deliver a combination of tuning for on-road comfort and off-road performance, helping the Bronco remain in its envelope at high speeds while providing improved cornering under higher simulated-wind conditions.
2. Off-road capability: Ready for adventure
- Astute 4-Wheel-Drive Systems: Two available advanced 4-wheel-drive systems allow the new Bronco to go just about anywhere. The base system has a two-speed electronic shift-on-the-fly transfer case, while the more advanced setup is based around a full-time 4x4 twin-clutch rear-drive unit with an auto mode that automatically varies between 2H and 4H for grip when you need it.
- G.O.A.T. Modes™ (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) – The Bronco two-door and four-door models deliver an array of can-do features thanks in part to exclusive terrain management technology, plus innovative design with heritage-inspired DNA that puts the rough-and-ready top-of-the-line capability they offer at center stage when it goes on sale next spring: Those modes tailor the Bronco's performance characteristics for specific scene-recognition data— recalibrating throttle response, transmission shifts and traction control settings to be optimized on the fly when attacking obstacles that make trailheads look rather banal.
- Sasquatch Package (Late Availability): For maximum off-road capability, the optional Sasquatch™ package is available. The package consists of 35-inch Goodyear mud-terrain tires, paired with available 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels) an electronic-locking front and rear Dana axles (Dana® M210 Wide Front Axle & Dana Spicer® Tru-Lok™ eLockers), a high-clearance suspension, FOX shocks. A new Sasquatch Package heightens the Bronco's off-road ability, making it a verifiable trail master.
- Trail Control™ and Trail Turn Assist: The Bronco is the only non-luxury SUV to offer a dedicated off-road cruise control for low-speed trailing driving, while Trail Turn Assist tightens off-road turning radiuses through torque vectoring. Trail Turn Assist also joins the party, which combines torque vectoring to tighten turning radius while hiking through off-road grounds with tight corners and switchbacks.
3. We can see that in the competitive nature of its powerful and efficient engine options.
That powertrain choice is just one reason the Ford Bronco can be a genuinely quick off-roader.
- 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 EngineIn its standard configuration, the Bronco comes with a 300-horsepower twin-scroll turbocharged inline-four producing 325 lb-ft of torque from displacing only 2.0 liters thanks to the magic within these features: It's a great power/fuel economy compromise of an engine. It boasts lots of low-end torque from the turbocharged engine, so it's great for off-roading and pulling trailers.
- The Bronco also has an available 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6 engine, which bumps the power up to 330 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque for those who prefer more muscle in their vehicles. And this engine packs more punch, with smooth power delivery and the ability to take up steep inclines under heavy loads. The V6 is mated to a 10-speed automatic which shifts smoothly and generates efficient power delivery across numerous use cases.
- 7-Speed Manual Transmission : The Bronco is available with a 7-speed manual transmission that features a crawler gear for those who would like to take over full control of their driving. Its manual transmission makes for great throttle precision and gear selection — useful when tackling technical off-road driving.
4. For Boosted Performance: Technology That Thinks Outside the Box
The Bronco comes with advanced technology that improves its performance, safety and convenience.
- SYNC® 4 Infotainment System: The Bronco accompanies the SYNC® 4 infotainment framework with a tremendous touchscreen show and Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Ford+Alexa coordination. This system allowing drivers to be entertained and connected while taking advantage of all the best navigation, music apps access they need on and off road.
- Ford Co-Pilot360™: Safety is paramount in the Bronco, and as part of its standard equipment list, it includes Ford's incredible suite of advanced driver-assist features known as Ford Co-Pilot360. This suite comprises Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Information System (BLIS®) and Cross-Traffic Alert, Lane-Keeping System,axis overflow:[""keyframeLoader""],""precisionType"":""Absolute"",""substyles"":[""ccontrols-globalText-notification""]});,,,axis overflow:[""panelModule""],[""insetFlatFormTitle-label""]}) These function with both on-road and off by helping you keep whatever control is in your hands while dealing with traffic or climbing over rocks.
5. Agile and Functional Interior
Modular Interior Design: Bronco's modular interior design represents the maximum in desirability and functionality. The Wrangler can also be had with removable doors and roof panels for the ultimate open-air experience, while its hard-wearing interior will cope if it needs a sprucing up post-trail bashing. The cabin of the Bronco also boasts a range of storage solutions, such as MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) straps and tie-down points to lock in gear.
Comfortable Seating: The Bronco’s seats are designed to be comfortable and easy to clean, with optional marine-grade vinyl. Front seats are comfortable and roomy, with lots of adjustment to help drivers position themselves perfectly. The rear seats are forgiving to passengers and there is plenty of legroom and headroom for adult comfort.
ADVANCED CLIMATE CONTROL: The Bronco has an optional dual-zone automatic climate control system, which enables the driver and front passenger to set individual temperature preferences. This feature makes sure that both drivers are all comfortable regardless of the weather out.
6. Built For Customisation And Personalisation
- Five Trims and Packages: The Bronco is offered in five different trims, each with its own specific attributes. The Bronco is aimed at a wide range of drivers, from the occasional weekend away to deep in the wilderness. Ford also has packages and accesesories available, that have almost anything to buttress such as off-road gear and exterior styling enhancements semantics.
- Accessory Choices: Ford has teamed up with a number of aftermarket suppliers to offer an extensive lineup of accessories for the Bronco. Things like roof racks, winches, off-road lights and so on. Whether you want to improve the Bronco's all-terrain prowess or modify its exterior appearance, there are numerous possibilities available.
