The Bronco Is Back: 4 Things to Know About the Ford Bronco

Having been off the market for over 20 years, the iconic Bronco makes its debut back into the Ford lineup this year. Designed to be one of the maker’s most rugged SUVs, the 2021 Ford Bronco performs great off-road as well as around town for everyday family use. This year’s retro styling makes this vehicle hard to resist. Perfect for the adventurous family, this is a five-seater SUV that truly delivers.

1. Strong Engines

The well-liked standard 2.3-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder engine is available in other Ford vehicles, but in the Bronco it is calibrated to produce 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. This amount of force causes effortless power delivery which gives drivers excellent acceleration. Most people choose the 10-speed automatic transmission while others will opt for the 7-speed manual gearbox.

The Bronco’s standard engine is a satisfying, well-performing choice, but some drivers will still want a bit more power. The twin-turbo V6 will be an upgrade that will optimize this SUV’s strength and ability. Rated by Ford to deliver 310 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque, the additional power will give the vehicle extra muscle while towing. This upgraded powertrain is only available as an upgrade with an automatic transmission.

2. Off-Road Ready

The base 2021 Bronco is prepared for an off-road excursion, and a vigorous 4WD comes equipped on every trim level. This means that every model enjoys better traction on even the muddiest of trails when the 4WD system’s low-range gearing is activated. Standard Dana Corporation front and rear axles accentuate the tough-nosed design of the Bronco. Over rough terrain, travelers will appreciate its heavy-duty skid plates. The aptly-named Sasquatch Package will add upgraded shocks and 35-inch tires.

3. Removable Top and Doors

Easily hop in and out of the cabin on your excursions with the 2021 Bronco’s removable hardtop and doors. Available in a variety of options, this fantastic feature satisfies drivers who need the ruggedness of an SUV but love the feel of a convertible sports car. The top must be removed manually by hand, but it doesn’t take much time or effort to do so. More so than a sunroof, removing the top entirely provides a much more immersive experience.

4. Iconic Styling

It’ll be hard to not immediately recognize the signature look of the Bronco on the road. Ford reimagined the vehicle by giving it modern updates while still paying homage to the original look of the 1960s with the iconic Bronco lettering on the grille and throwback headlamps so people can see you making your entrance.

Lovers of the great outdoors may find the 2021 Bronco to be the SUV of their dreams. Loaded with essential high-tech features, the tough nature and exclusive body styling make this SUV a great choice to handle unpredictable terrains. Call or stop into Crown Ford today to check out what made the Ford Bronco a best seller over two decades ago, and what continues to make it a driver-favorite today.
