A Sneak Peek at the 2021 Ford Bronco

February 14, 2020 · 3 min read

From 1966 to 1996, the Ford Bronco was a familiar mainstay of the company's SUV lineup. Its impressive capabilities made it a favorite among American families for decades. The Bronco returned in 2020, and the 2021 model year is going to be better than any before it. Take a look at what we know about this next-generation SUV below.

The Book's Cover Then and Now

The exterior design for the 2021 Ford Bronco harkens back to its earliest years, but with some higher-tech alterations. The old lamp-style headlights have been replaced with rounded LED versions, and a grille made from space-age materials replaced the old steel one from 1966. Back in those days, the Bronco had the company name on the grille, but the 2021 version bears the word Bronco in large, bold lettering. The body style of the new Bronco is sleek and more city-like than its more farm-reminiscent ancestor, carrying smoother lines and a fiber-material body rather than a solid steel one.

Turbo and EcoBoost Engine Options

The 2021 Bronco will come with one of two reported engines, including a DOHC turbocharged 2.3-liter Inline-4 version and a 2.3-liter EcoBoost Inline-4 version. The EcoBoost will generate 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, but those statistics haven't been released for the DOHC engine yet. The most likely transmission for the next-generation Bronco is a 10-speed automatic with auto-manual and overdrive capabilities.

The Nuts and Bolts

The 2021 Bronco will share a body platform with the next Ranger model, a mid-sized pickup truck. The classic rear-mounted spare tire with the storied Bronco design will make a comeback on the 2021 version. Reports suggest that a hybrid version of the 2021 Bronco may be forthcoming, but they have not been confirmed by the company.

If Ford does decide on a hybrid, it may use the same generator system that's on the F-150 hybrid. As in the old days, the roof and doors of this classic vehicle will be removable. A pickup variant of the Bronco is very likely since it shares a body frame with one.

Production Location

For decades, Michigan and the states around it were known for the production of the best cars, trucks, and SUVs ever made in the United States of America. Now Ford has decided to bring back that old prosperity by having the Bronco for the 2021 model year produced in the same communities that, not so long ago, ensured the ability of Americans to cross the grand breadth of these United States.

In a time when production is so often outsourced to other nations, it's admirable that Ford has decided to reinforce the economy at home through the production and sale of its new Bronco.

Configurations and Capabilities

The 2021 Ford Bronco will come in both two- and four-door forms. The Bronco is expected to come standard with four-wheel-drive, but it's possible that two-wheel-drive versions will be released, particularly when the Bronco's expected pickup truck version hits the market. This Bronco is expected to be able to tow up to 7,500 pounds, or 3.75 tons.

The 2023 Ford Ranger

It's coming soon - the next generation Ford Ranger! A video of the 2023 Ranger prototype has recently been released by Ford, showing the truck undergoing durability tests in the mud, sand, and snow. The brand new look is still under wraps, but is anticipated to be fully revealed later this year. The official launch will happen in late 2022. The next generation Ranger will share a platform with the Ford Bronco, and is expected to have a standard 2.3L EcoBoost engine. Other engine options may include a hybrid and the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 that is found in the Bronco. The Ranger Raptor has also been highly anticipated, and is expected to feature the same 3.0L EcoBoost V6 engine that is in the Explorer ST. Ford is describing the next generation Ranger as "the toughest, most capable, most connected, and most versatile Ranger yet."
