It would be anyone’s guess whether Ford knew how popular the new Ford Bronco was going to be when they initially announced its re-release back in 2017. It’s been a long waiting game, and the slow drip of information has certainly kept the excitement up about the popular Ford model. The 2021 Ford Bronco is finally arriving this fall with a Sport edition and a larger version to arrive in the spring of 2021. Here’s everything that’s coming to the new Bronco models.
Tons of Off-Road-Ready Trim Levels
There’s a good reason for off-road enthusiasts to get excited about the 2021 Ford Bronco. Just about every trim they offer is built for tackling trails and tough terrain. Of course, it also looks great driving around town. There are six amazing trim levels to choose from if you don’t count the First Edition trim, which is already sold out. Don’t let that get you down though — the Base, Big Bend, Black Diamond, Outer Banks, Badlands, and Wildtrak trims will serve you well. If you had your heart set on the First Edition, the Wildtrak has the same performance features.
Even the base trim level offers off-road features that are sure to impress, such as removable doors and available off-road tires. As you work your way up the trim levels, you start to see even more off-road features such as multiple terrain modes and an advanced suspension.
G.O.A.T. Drive Modes
Another exciting feature on the new Bronco is what Ford has labeled G.O.A.T. drive modes, which stands for “Goes Over Any Terrain.” In total, there are eight different drive modes that you can select as you see fit. These consist of normal, eco, sport, slippery, sand, Baja, mud/ruts, and rock-crawl mode. Each mode adjusts how the suspension and drivetrain tackle the type of terrain you’re on.
Bronco and Bronco Sport
There are actually two different models of the 2021 Ford Bronco being released. The 2021 Ford Bronco is expected to hit the market in the spring of 2021 and includes the trim levels listed above. The Bronco Sport features roughly half of the trim levels featured on the standard Bronco but does include the G.O.A.T. drive modes and the other exciting off-road features.
Multiple Powerful Engine and Transmission Configurations
The 2021 Bronco features a lot of customizable parts. Some of the options are standard or add-ons based on which trim level you select. The two available transmissions are a 10-speed automatic or a seven-speed manual. There are also two different engine configurations. The first is an in-line four-cylinder engine with an output of 270 horsepower, and a V-6 with an output of 310 horsepower. If you want to take advantage of the more powerful engine, you’ll have to sacrifice the manual transmission, as it’s not available on the V-6.
The time has finally come for the new Bronco to hit the streets. Be sure to schedule your test drive as soon as it’s available, or check out our inventory to compare more features.
