DEARBORN, Mich. July 13, 2020– The all-new Bronco^® two- and four-door traditional midsize SUVs represent the flagship models for the Built Wild^™ Bronco brand and are ready to deliver thrilling off-road experiences with their heritage-inspired style, rugged engineering and smart off-road technology.

Built with the toughness of an F-Series truck and the performance spirit of Mustang, each comes wrapped in one of the most stunning off-road designs – true to the original DNA of Bronco while bringing forward innovative features that elevate the functionality of a rugged SUV.

The all-new Bronco re-enters the scene with an all-4x4 lineup arriving at Ford dealers beginning this summer. Bronco owners can choose from an extensive lineup of more than 200 factory-backed accessories for maximum personalization, enabling dealers to provide outfitting-on-demand for each customer’s individual adventure needs.

Built Wild 4x4 confidence
Just like the first-generation Bronco, nicknamed G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain), the mission of the all-new 2021 Bronco is to deliver maximum 4x4 capability and confidence. Bronco incorporates off-road mapping and drive technologies to give novice adventurers as much fun as hardcore off-road experts, while its Built Wild durability is designed for lasting performance in the harshest of conditions.

Advanced four-wheel-drive technologies and chassis architecture are the core of the Bronco SUV off-road capabilities, and at the heart of it all is the Bronco exclusive Terrain Management System^™ with G.O.A.T. Modes^™, designed to help drivers better navigate any type of terrain. Up to seven driver-selectable modes are offered including Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery and Sand, with Baja, Mud/Ruts and Rock Crawl for off-road driving.

Two 4x4 systems are offered – a base two-speed electronic shift-on-the-fly transfer case, and an optional advanced system that features a two-speed electromechanical transfer case with an auto mode for on-demand engagement to select between 2H and 4H. Power is distributed to a Dana^™ 44 AdvanTEK^® solid rear axle and Dana AdvanTEK independent front differential unit – both with available Spicer^® Performa-TraK^™ electronic locking differentials for improved traction over rough terrain in models equipped for higher capability.

Available Trail Toolbox gives Bronco owners a suite of off-road technologies to elevate their off-road experience. This includes available Trail Control^™, cruise control for low-speed trail driving, then adds class-exclusive^* available Trail Turn Assist to tighten off-road turning radiuses through torque vectoring, plus innovative available Trail One-Pedal Drive^†† acceleration/braking control for more precise and confident slow-mode rock crawling.

High-capability Sasquatch^™ Package-equipped Bronco two-door SUVs deliver confident all-terrain driving thanks to its wide 43.2-degree approach angle, class-leading^* 11.6-inch maximum ground clearance, 29-degree breakover angle and a generous 37.2-degree departure angle. Bronco four-door with optional Sasquatch Package offers equally impressive off-road attributes, with 11.5-inch ground clearance, 43.2-degree approach, 26.3-degree breakover and 37.0-degree departure angles. Both two- and four-door Bronco models offer available best-in-class^* water fording up to 33.5 inches with the optional 35-inch tires installed.

Strategically placed steel shields protect critical hardware on higher-capability Bronco models, including an available front bash plate, plus shields for the engine, transmission, transfer case and fuel tank. For those taking on the roughest rocky terrain, available side rock rails are strong enough to support the weight of each side of the vehicle. Exposed tow hooks are standard in the front and rear, with optional heavy-duty modular steel front bumpers featuring an integrated Ford Performance accessory winch mount for more extreme off-road use.

To make sure every Bronco two- and four-door SUV excels for the long run, they’re designed and built to the company’s Built Ford Tough durability and performance testing and yet, takes it even further off-road with Built Wild Extreme Durability Testing in the harshest possible environments, including the brutal trails of the King of the Hammers off-road competition.

Thrilling performance borne of Bronco DNA

Thanks to the legendary Bronco Baja racing DNA, each model brings forth a thrilling off-road experience and delivers it with modern, heritage-inspired style. It all began in a Ford design studio with a life-size digital scan of a first-generation model that served to influence the proportions and design of the all-new Bronco for maximum off-road capability and performance.

Similar to the square proportions of the first-generation model, today’s Bronco features short overhangs and a wide stance optimized for off-road adventure. The side profile features a flat, no-nonsense surface with clear-cut edges and robustly flared fenders. Large, open wheel wells are augmented by removeable bolt-on front and rear fenders, and fender flares with quick-release fasteners for easy customization.

All-new Bronco-specific Ford T-6 architecture features a fully boxed, high-strength steel chassis with seven crossmembers to deliver available maximum class-leading^* front and rear suspension travel over rough terrain. Every Bronco comes with a High-Performance Off-Road, Stability, Suspension (HOSS) System for optimum stability and control for thrilling off-roading at speed.

Up front is the HOSS independent front suspension with twin alloy A-arms and long-travel coil-over springs brings improved confidence and comfort. A rugged solid axle design at the rear features variable rate long-travel coil springs with five locating links to deliver both strength and off-road control.

In higher-capability configurations, with either the Sasquatch off-road package, which is available on all Bronco models and standard on Badlands^™ series, long-travel position-sensitive Bilstein^® dampers with end-stop control valves are featured to help improve off-road durability and reduce harshness.

Upping the slow-rock crawling capability, a semi-active hydraulic stabilizer bar disconnect with a class-exclusive^* design that is standard on Badlands, provides maximum articulation and increased ramp angle index for off-camber terrain. This innovative system bests class competitors by disconnecting during articulation; it can reconnect under all conditions to improve steering and stability at higher speeds.

Class-exclusive^* 35-inch off-road tires direct from the factory are available on every Bronco SUV series, while available beadlock-capable wheels allow customers to elevate off-road capability, regardless of price point.

Race-bred EcoBoost^® engines plus class-exclusive^* 7-speed manual and available 10-speed automatic transmissions give the all-new Bronco the optimal combination of power, torque and gear ranges to perform in a wide variety of terrains and uses.

The standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost I-4 engine delivers 275 horsepower and 315 lb.-ft. torque the most four-cylinder gasoline torque in its class^{* **}, while the available 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine produces 315 horsepower and 410 lb.-ft. torque, the most gasoline-powered six-cylinder horsepower and torque in its class^{* **}. 

With premium gasoline, the 2.3-liter I-4 engine achieves 300 horsepower and 325 lb.-ft. torque^† and the 2.7-liter also makes gains with premium fuel, producing 330 horsepower and 415 lb.-ft. torque^†.

For maximum low-speed rock-climbing capability, a class-exclusive^* 7-speed (6+1) manual transmission paired with the available advanced 4x4 system with automatic on-demand engagement generates a best-in-class crawler-gear ratio of 94.75:1. An available class-exclusive^* SelectShift^® 10-speed automatic transmission makes for easier driving on- and off-road, while offering a maximum 67.8:1 crawl ratio with the optional advanced 4x4 transfer case.
