10 Cool Features of the Ford Bronco

The Ford Bronco returns to the automotive market to thunderous applause. We’ve waited with bated breath for this impressive off-road machine.

If you’ve been waiting for that Wrangler challenging off-road machine, it’s here, and the name is Bronco. While the name is something brought from the past, everything about this incredible SUV is brand-new and ready to give us an impressive drive to wherever we want to go. Let’s take a look at some of the cool features you’ll find when you tackle the wilderness in this Ford.

The Ground Clearance is Ides for this SUV

The new Bronco gives you 11.6 inches of ground clearance, making it easy for you to ride over nearly every obstacle in your path. When you need a bit more wheel travel at the corners, there’s a semi-active disconnecting front sway bar that allows the wheels to travel farther without causing the vehicle to flip over. Of course, if you’re going over obstacles, you need skid plates, and the Bronco has them, which keeps the underside of your vehicle protected.

You Can Enjoy the Outside Air in the Bronco

Similar to the Jeep Wrangler, you can take the doors and roof off of the Ford Bronco. This means you’ll have the off-roading experience that you see others enjoy in their Wrangler models, but you’ll do it in the new Bronco. This gives you more fun and more open-air driving, whether you’re heading deep in the wilderness or taking this impressive SUV out on the beach. Take the top off and experience the fun of rolling around with the wind blowing through the cabin.

That Tailgate Doesn’t Belong on an SUV

Most SUV models we see in the market today have a flip-up tailgate that opens the hatch for you to access the items you’ve got stored inside. That’s not the case with this Ford. Similar to the Wrangler, the Bronco offers a hinged tailgate that swings open. When you’ve got the roof off, you can use this rear area like a truck, which makes this SUV more versatile and capable than ever before. This is the perfect tailgate for an off-road SUV.

Ford Designed a Ton of Accessories

You can’t have an off-road SUV that doesn’t accept accessories. Every trail riding off-road enthusiast knows you need some extra gear attached to your rig to head deep into the wilderness. The Ford Bronco can accept more than 200 available unique accessories that make driving this SUV more enjoyable for you. Some of the most common items are fender flares, door panels, trail lights, roof rails, winches, and special wheels. Find the right accessories for your fun out on the trails and let the personality of your Bronco come to life.

You’ll See Several Trim Levels

The Ford Bronco comes in six different trim levels with some cool names. Each of these models adds a little more to the mix to give you features specific to the driving experience you’ll enjoy. These different trim levels are:

• Big Bend
• Black Diamond
• Outer Banks
• Badlands
• Wildtrak
• First Edition

Select the trim that works right in your budget and gives you the impressive package of features you want to use when taking this SUV out into the wilderness.

Put the GOAT System to Work in this Ford SUV

The new Bronco features a new terrain management system with a special name. This name is GOAT, and it stands for Goes Over Any Terrain, which gives you an idea of its capabilities. You’ll find several selectable driving modes to make it simple for you to figure out which terrain you need the settings for during your drive. You can choose from hill-descent control, trail control, rock crawl, and Baja, to name a few.

The Sasquatch is Real in the Ford Bronco

You don’t have to see Bigfoot when you can have the real thing in your Bronco. The Sasquatch package adds more off-roading equipment to an already impressive machine. Some items you’ll find include an electronic-locking differential for both front and rear axles, trail control, 17-inch wheels, and 35-inch tires. This package allows the Bronco to sit up higher and offer more trail-riding fun than you find in the standard models. Add a bit of extra gear to your SUV and let the Sasquatch ride along into the wilderness.

There are Two Powertrains for the Bronco

Unlike the Ford Ranger when it returned, the Bronco brings you a pair of impressive powertrains to handle the drive. The base setup gives you a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine that delivers 275 horsepower and 315 lb.-ft. of torque. Use premium fuel, and the power increases to 300 horsepower and 325 lb.-ft. of torque. T

he upgraded engine is a 2.7-liter turbocharged V6 delivering 310 horsepower and 400 lb.-ft. of torque for the drive. Both engines make use of an impressive ten-speed automatic transmission. Compared to the 105-horsepower engine from the original 1966 Bronco, this is a huge improvement.

You can Hose Down this SUV; On the Inside

One of the best parts of a vehicle made to handle the trails is knowing you can clean it properly afterward. You can hose out the Ford Bronco after returning from your adventures. The interior can handle the water, and there are removable drain plugs that let you rinse out the water when finished cleaning the interior. This is a big deal in an SUV made to get dirty.

Cross the Rivers in the Bronco

Other SUVs can’t go where you go in the Bronco. This Ford handles streams and rives up to 33-inches deep without any trouble at all. The engine compartment is watertight, ensuring nothing will get damaged when you cross a stream. This impressive SUV can go wherever you want to, and it never needs any consolations made for it. Forget about building a bridge; your SUV is a bridge to the other side.

With so much to love about the Ford Bronco, isn’t it time you head to your local dealer and see which model will come home with you today?
