The Ford Bronco is a reigning champion of the rugged off-roading world. This iconic SUV, made with a high-strength steel frame, is designed to find adventure at every turn. It has some of the best capabilities for conquering various terrains, far outperforming other SUVs of its size and stature. Let's check out some of our favorite off-roading features and see how they might work for your lifestyle. Breakdown the Off-Road Capability of the Ford Bronco Advanced 4x4 System Flexibility is key to your off-roading success, and the Bronco's 4x4 system allows you to choose between two modes: 2H (two-wheel drive high range for smoother surfaces) and 4H (four-wheel drive high range for rough and slippery surfaces). Plus, this vehicle has an available electronic shift-on-the-fly (ESOF) transfer case that allows you to switch on the fly while you're moving at speeds up to 55 mph! Engine Power and Performance Ford's Bronco has a 2.3L EcoBoost engine that generates 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque. In other words, this SUV is a turbocharged powerhouse able to easily tackle rough terrain. You could be navigating sandy hills, rocky slopes, or a mix of both and more. No matter what you're tackling on your drive, this engine will help maintain traction and control over your ride—not the elements. Suspension and Ground Clearance Need to get over rocky obstacles without hesitation? One of our favorite features Ford gave to the Bronco is its impressive suspension and ground clearance. All of the High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension (HOSS) Systems allow you to feel confident in your driving abilities. Compared to other off-roading SUVs, this vehicle has an independent front suspension and solid rear axle setup that allows your wheels to stay firmly planted on the ground. Even the base trim boasts 8.4 inches of ground clearance, which can help you go up against some of the most uneven surfaces! Off-Road Driving Modes You want your off-roading SUV to adapt to various conditions, as nature is unpredictable. Thankfully, Ford created the Bronco's G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) Modes to help you adjust quickly. A number of selectable modes are available: Sport, Eco, Normal, Slippery, Sand/Snow. Mud/Ruts, Rock Crawl, and Baja drive modes are not available on every trim. Tow-Haul and Off-Road drive modes are standard on the Bronco Raptor. With each selection, you can adjust the transmission gearing, throttle response, and traction control settings to optimize your vehicle's performance based on your surroundings. If you're looking for the king of all off-roading vehicles, the Bronco is one of Ford's best SUVs and is up for a challenge.

Come check out the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport and the 2024 Bronco at your Ford dealer in Lanham, MD. Battle of the Bronco: Which Are You Getting? 2024 Bronco The Ford Bronco is an excellent choice if you're looking for an SUV for serious off-roading, including navigating uneven terrain and cruising through shallow creeks. Although both the Bronco and the Bronco Sport have off-road capabilities, the Bronco is specifically designed for all-terrain use, with unique features like a snorkel system, advanced four-wheel drive, and locking differentials. The Bronco is also the largest and most rugged of the two vehicles, and it comes in both two-door and four-door configurations. It's perfect for off-roading, camping, hiking, fishing trips, and more. 2024 Ford Bronco Sport The Ford Bronco Sport is a terrific option if you enjoy off-roading but also need an SUV capable of navigating city streets, squeezing into tight parking spaces, and darting around town. The Bronco Sport is slightly smaller and is highly capable on the road. It also excels in features you'll find useful while driving around town, like door cubbies and a center console set up to keep your belongings organized. Don't worry; the Bronco Sport still offers many features to satisfy your adventurous spirit. When you're driving a Bronco Sport, you'll be able to adjust your driving mode to any condition, including sand, slippery, sport, eco, and normal. The Sport Badlands trim has two additional modes: Mud/Ruts and Rock Crawl. When you're in Mud/Ruts or Rock Crawl mode, the available front 180-degree camera helps with trail visibility. Tech and Safety Features Both the Bronco and the Bronco Sport offer helpful tech and safety features. Both SUVs have a touchscreen supporting SYNC, Ford's in-vehicle communications and entertainment system. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and other contemporary infotainment features are also in place on both SUVs. Both SUVs can be had with advanced safety features like forward-collision warning and automated emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-departure and lane-keeping assist. Automatic high-beam headlights, rearview cameras, and airbag systems also help support the safe operation of each SUV.
