2024 Ford Bronco: Best Off-Road & Daily Driver SUV

The 2024 Ford Bronco is tough, fun, and built for adventure. People love it for its classic, rugged look, removable doors and roof, and serious off-road capability. But what really sets it apart is that it’s not just great on the trails; it’s actually comfortable for daily driving. If you’re looking to buy the Ford Bronco, here’s what you need to know.

 

Engine Options 

The 2024 Ford Bronco offers two main engine choices, plus a high-performance option for the Bronco Raptor.

2.3L Turbocharged Inline-4 (Standard)

• 300 horsepower / 325 lb-ft of torque
• Comes standard on Big Bend, Black Diamond, Outer Banks, and Badlands
• Available with either a 7-speed manual transmission or a 10-speed automatic

 

2.7L Twin-Turbo V6 (Optional)

• 330 horsepower / 415 lb-ft of torque
• Standard on Wildtrak and Everglades, optional on other trims (except Base)
• Only available with a 10-speed automatic transmission

 

3.0L Twin-Turbo V6 (Exclusive to Bronco Raptor)

• 418 horsepower / 440 lb-ft of torque
• Comes only in the Bronco Raptor
• Paired exclusively with the 10-speed automatic transmission

 

Performance, Ride, and Handling

The Bronco is built to take on rough terrain without breaking a sweat. It’s got plenty of ground clearance, solid approach and departure angles, and a smart 4WD system that helps it tackle just about anything. 

Right from the factory, it’s adventure-ready with off-road drive modes (G.O.A.T. modes), available locking differentials, and the Sasquatch package for extra capability. With skid plates and reinforced underbody protection, it’s tougher than most off-road SUVs out there.

The independent front suspension gives it better steering control and stability than most hardcore off-roaders. It feels more planted at highway speeds and doesn’t have that constant steering correction you’d expect in something like a Wrangler. That said, you’ll still feel some body roll around corners, especially on models with the big 35-inch Sasquatch tires.

 

Towing Capacity

The 2024 Bronco can tow up to 3,500 lbs, which is on par with the Jeep Wrangler. While it’s not built to be a towing powerhouse, it’s more than capable of pulling small trailers, boats, or off-road toys.

 

Fuel Economy

The best fuel economy comes from the 2.3L turbo-four with the 10-speed automatic, rated at 20 mpg city / 22 mpg highway. The 2.7L twin-turbo V6 and Sasquatch package bring those numbers down to 17 mpg city / 17 mpg highway.

The 2024 Ford Bronco isn’t exactly a fuel-sipper, but it outperforms the 4Runner’s aging 4.0L V6 and some Wrangler models, making it one of the more fuel-efficient hardcore off-roaders.

 

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo 

The 2024 Ford Bronco has a practical cabin built for adventure. It’s spacious, easy to clean, and durable. The four-door model offers better rear-seat space than the two-door models. Cloth seats come standard, marine-grade vinyl is water-resistant, and leather is available on higher trims. 

The front seats are supportive, but vinyl can feel stiff on long drives. A dash-mounted rack secures devices, and a 360-degree camera helps with off-roading and parking. Window and mirror controls are on the center console since the doors are removable.

Cargo space is solid. The two-door holds 22.4 cubic feet, while the four-door has 35.6 cubic feet behind the rear seats. With seats folded, the four-door expands to 77.6 cubic feet, among the best in its class. There’s underfloor storage, tie-downs, and a built-in bottle opener. The swing-out rear gate can be awkward in tight spots but opens wide for loading.

 

Infotainment & Tech Features

Every 2024 Ford Bronco comes with a 12-inch touchscreen running Ford’s Sync 4 system. It’s fast, easy to use, and comes with physical knobs for volume and tuning, so you’re not stuck tapping through menus while driving. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard. Bluetooth and voice controls are also included.

USB-C ports and wireless charging are available on higher models. A Wi-Fi hotspot is optional with a data plan. Built-in navigation is also an option, but since CarPlay and Android Auto are standard, you may not need it. 

The standard six-speaker sound system is decent, but if you want better audio, go for the 10-speaker Bang & Olufsen (B&O) upgrade with a subwoofer. A 360-degree camera system is also available as an option. 

 

Safety Rating and Driver-Assist Features

The 2024 Ford Bronco two-door model has earned a 5-star overall safety rating from the NHTSA. Ford equips the Bronco with a solid set of standard safety features, including: 

• Forward Collision Warning
• Automatic Emergency Braking
• Blind-Spot Monitoring
• Rear Cross-Traffic Alert
• Lane Departure Warning
• Lane-Keeping Assist
• Automatic High Beams

For added convenience and safety, buyers can opt for additional driver-assist features like adaptive cruise control, parking sensors, trail control, and a 360-camera.
