The legendary Ford Bronco is making a return late in the spring of 2020. It will still be a rugged SUV with a truck-based design and have all the off-road equipment you need to take it up and over rough terrain. It will share a platform with the Ranger pickup truck and come in both a two-door and four-door model. Here is what we know so far about the 2020 Ford Bronco.
The Exterior Look
The biggest news with the new Bronco is that it will feature a removable roof and removable doors. It will come with a hardtop roof that you can take off, and if you want to take the doors off, you can stow them away in the cargo area. The side mirrors will stay mounted on the A-pillars, and the patents for the doors is a system that makes them easy to remove using a set of latches.
The new Bronco will use the same body-on-frame design as the Ranger, and you can expect to see two wheelbase lengths to support either two or four doors.
The Power
Power for the new Bronco will come from a 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine, which is the same engine for the Ranger. There is also some speculation that a V-6 will be available, and Ford confirmed that a new hybrid powertrain will also be a part of the Bronco lineup. Ford’s 10-speed automatic transmission is expected to work with either of the gas engines, and the lower will come standard with rear-wheel drive and offer all-wheel drive as an option. The higher-end trim levels are expected to come standard with all-wheel drive.
The Interior
Ford has not revealed what the interior of the new Bronco will look like. Some experts believe that based on the retro look of the exterior, the cabin will also have a retro look, but this is just speculation. You can expect to see all the latest technology, including the Sync 3 infotainment system, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and hands-free capabilities.
The Baby Bronco Will Come First
Before the release of the full-size Bronco, Ford will introduce the baby Bronco. This is a smaller crossover SUV similar to the 2020 Escape but with a more rugged look. The baby Bronco will also sit up higher than the rest of the SUVs in the Ford lineup and have an all-wheel-drive system designed for rugged terrain. The real name of this smaller Bronco has not been released yet, but you can expect to see it before the larger version makes an appearance.
The Bronco R
As Ford slowly releases information about the Bronco, they also revealed an off-road version of the SUV called the Bronco R. Experts believe this version gives us an idea of what the shape of the Bronco will look like and what size it will be.
There is still a lot to learn about the all-new Bronco. It should arrive sometime in the late spring of 2020, so we will just have to wait a little while longer for more details. In the meantime, stop by for a test drive of any of our vehicles.
