If you want a car that’s every bit as adventurous as you, the new Ford Bronco is the vehicle for you. Read on to learn more about the different models and all the rugged features you can look forward to.
Basics of the Bronco
For drivers who crave adventure, the new Ford Bronco is a dream to own. The new Bronco has survived the Johnson Valley desert, as well as the Baja 1000, two of the world’s hardest off-road endurance races. This is a car that can take you across deserts, under dazzling night skies, up mountains, past lakes and oceans, and to every other wild adventure, you’ve ever dreamed of.
There are seven different Bronco models for you to choose from, depending on what capabilities you need. Each comes with a two- or four-door option, and each is fully customizable. Choose from over 200 different features to create the perfect car to take you on your next adventure.
Off-Road Features
The Bronco has a variety of off-road features that make it perfect for tackling everything from mountain trails to rivers and streams. The new Bronco earned a Best in Class Departure and Breakover title. It has a departure angle of 37.2 degrees and a stunning 29-degree breakover, angle, as well as a 43.2-degree approach angle.
The Bronco can also keep you clear of rocks, branches, and other obstacles with its best-in-class 11.6-inch ground clearance. And in the new Bronco, you’ll never have to worry about splashing across another river. The vehicle has a stunning best-in-class water-fording capability of 33.5 inches.
Cockpit
Although the new Bronco is a vehicle built for rough terrain, you’ll be riding in comfort as you head out on the trail. The cockpit comes equipped with a purpose-built instrument panel that puts all the gauges and controls you need at your fingertips. There are up to six different switch packs you can access depending on your model that allows you to stay in control of your next adventure with the push of a button.
The Bronco gives you plenty of room to bring your family and friends along on your adventures with available 60/40 split-fold second-row seats. And when you need a little less talk and a lot more action, the seats fold down to give you plenty of space to pack extra gear in. Don’t worry about keeping your Bronco pristine either – you can get your Bronco equipped with rubberized washable floors, integrated drains, and marine-grade-vinyl seating.

The Outer Banks comes standard with leather-trimmed seating that’s as luxurious as it is functional. A twelve-inch LCD capacitive touchscreen with Swipe capability and enhanced voice recognition will keep you connected on the road or off.

The Badlands model features a front stabilizer bar disconnect that allows increased articulation across the vehicle when you’re navigating large obstacles. The differential electronic-locking front and rear axles will help you optimize traction and improve your off-road performance.
