The Comeback Continues With the 2024 Ford Bronco

Everyone loves a great comeback story. When the story is about a vehicle that once captured the hearts of millions of drivers returning to make a victory lap, we can’t help but be moved. This is the story of the Ford Bronco. One of the vehicles responsible for what the SUV boom would eventually turn into, its return during the 2021 model year was a cause for celebration. The Bronco is again en route to reclaiming its rightful position as one of the most iconic SUVs in the marketplace.

Having the chance to experience this level of pedigree is as easy as taking a trip to Pauli Ford and looking at a Ford Bronco for sale. Today, we take a look at a vehicle that’s not only made a triumphant return but one that continues to build upon its legacy and continue to surpass the expectations of Ford devotees and SUV owners alike.

The Excitement of a Bold Exterior Design

One of the things that has made the new Bronco attain such a captive audience is the exterior design that pays homage to the vehicle’s roots but also adapts to the modern sensibilities of style and aesthetics. The Bronco retains the box-shaped design of its predecessors but also possesses curvatures that make it appealing to a broader audience.

The front grill and circular headlights are a blast from the past, and its wheels exhibit a modernized chic. For those who plan on utilizing the Bronco for their adventures on the path less traveled, the top and doors can be removed, and the SUV can be turned into a reincarnated dune buggy.

Putting the Word “Power” in Powertrain

The exterior of the Ford Bronco certainly captures the attention and provides a certain level of excitement. However, when one looks at the level of performance and capability of the vehicle’s powertrain, one can’t help but be completely blown away. This is where the rubber meets the road, so let’s look at what the Bronco offers.

Remarkably, the Ford Bronco is available with three unique powertrains. The standard engine is a 2.3L four-cylinder engine, which delivers 300 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque. A twin-turbocharged 2.7L V6 raises those figures to 330 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque for those looking for a little more. Finally, the available turbocharged 3.0L V6 offers an impressive 418 hp and 440 lb-ft of torque. All three engines pair with a 10-speed automatic transmission for optimum performance, while a 7-speed manual transmission is available on the 2.3L engine.

The four-cylinder engine offers better fuel economy, achieving 20 MPG when driving within city limits and 22 MPG during highway driving. The Bronco is a 4WD-exclusive vehicle, and considering its penchant for hp and one singular drivetrain, these figures are still admirable.

The Real “G.O.A.T.”

A common acronym that’s entered our modern vocabulary is “GOAT.” At the same time, this is commonly used to describe certain people as the “greatest of all time.” The terminology takes a different meaning entirely when it’s used to describe the Ford Bronco. For the Bronco, this represents a collection of different driving modes known as “Goes Over Any Terrain.” These modes make any hostile ground easily domesticated. We’ll take a few moments to describe these modes in greater detail.

Sport

Ideal for highway travel, Sport mode provides increased acceleration and also focuses on giving the Bronco better handling at higher speeds.

Eco

Driving in the city can sometimes mean a great deal of stop-and-go traffic patterns. Eco mode emphasizes conserving fuel by making adjustments to the engine.

Normal

Relatively self-explanatory, Normal mode is best used for short trips and daily commutes. By balancing acceleration, shifting, and braking, you’re treated to a drive that is relaxing and convenient.

Slippery

Much like life itself, the weather can tend to be unpredictable, which can alter your commute in an instant. When the roads become compromised by ice and rain, this mode can make traveling much more effortless. Traction control is maximized, and the throttle response is lowered to ensure you stay on course.

Sand/Snow

Any experienced off-roader will attest to the exhilaration one experiences while traveling across dunes and snow banks. This driving mode allows you to retain control even when either condition becomes arduous to navigate.

Mud/Ruts

You might be too big for the sandbox, but that doesn’t mean you’ve outgrown the joy of playing in the dirt and mud. Traction and stability are emphasized to keep the Bronco from getting stuck and ensuring an enjoyable playtime.

Rock Crawl

By engaging the rear differential lock, you can quite literally turn into a mountaineer. A camera view is operated at slower speeds to assist you in avoiding roadblocks and obstacles.

Baja

Are you looking to go full throttle while traveling off the beaten path? Baja mode increases torque and throttle response for an exhilarating experience.

A Spacious Interior That Keeps You Connected and Entertained

We’ve looked under the hood and explored some of the aspects of the G.O.A.T. modes, and now it’s time to get behind the wheel and look at the intricacies and advantages that the Bronco has to offer. No matter what your plans might be for the Ford Bronco, this is where you’ll be spending the majority of your time.

We mentioned earlier that the Bronco manages to embrace the traditions that made it such a popular vehicle while also blending in a modern aesthetic. The interior of the Bronco is this concept fully realized. While Broncos of old inspire the seating and dashboard, the standard 12-inch infotainment screen that comes standard on all trims grants access to a variety of technologies that you’ll be thrilled to experience.

The infotainment system includes the latest version of Ford’s SYNC 4 software, which also received over-the-air updates to ensure you have the latest version. Apple and Android products are compatible with this setup. Available upgrades include a high-end stereo system from B&O and navigation to ensure you reach every destination on time.

Because the Bronco comes in two and four-door configurations, available storage space varies, but both offer more than enough room to facilitate long journeys and short trips to the grocery store. The two-door Bronco offers an available 52.3 cu.ft. of storage capacity, which is more than triple the trunk space of a four-door sedan (15 cu.ft.) Storage in the four-door Bronco varies depending on whether you opt for the hard or soft top version. The hardtop version offers a generous amount, 77.6 available cu.ft. to be precise, and the soft top provides the most out of them all with an available 83 cu.ft.
