The 2021 Ford Bronco and the 2021 Ford Bronco Sport both have much to offer. If you're trying to decide which vehicle would better suit you and your lifestyle, you'll want to have all the information at your disposal so you can have confidence in your decision. At Rockdale Country Ford in Rockdale, TX, we're just like you. We're Texas friendly and proud to call this place our home.
 Â
While both the Ford Bronco and the Ford Bronco sport provide impressive capabilities for off-road driving, there are some differences between the two. The Ford Bronco includes a standard 300-horsepower, 2.3-liter four-cylinder gas engine with 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive. There is an available 2.7-liter V-6 with 330-horsepower. The Bronco's body-on-frame construction and longitudinal engine are designed to send power where it's needed, as are the available locking front and rear differentials.
 ÂThe Sasquatch package comes standard on the higher level trims, and it is available on all other Bronco trims. This popular package adds 35-inch mud terrain tires and Bilstein shocks for more traction and comfort.
The smaller Ford Bronco Sport, which serves as a smaller alternative to the Bronco, offers drivers in Taylor, TX, a standard 181-horsepower, turbocharged 1.5-liter three-cylinder gas engine with eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. It has an available 245-horsepower, turbocharged 2.0-liter inline four-cylinder gas engine.
ÂIndependent front suspension gives both the Ford Bronco and the Bronco Sport a tight, accurate steering capability and a smooth ride. Standard wheels are 16-inch on all base models. Higher trim levels come with available 17- and 18-inch wheels.
 ÂThe Ford Bronco has a removable roof and frameless doors that can be stored in the trunk. It has a rugged, road-worthy appearance and comes standard as a four-door design, but also offers an available two-door model. Available features include side steps, running boards, and rock rails. The Bronco Sport offers a similar exterior but on a smaller scale.
ÂThe Ford Bronco has an interior that is both functionally and thoughtfully designed. Rubberized grab bars are strategically placed throughout the cabin so that your passengers will have something to hold onto. The window and mirror controls are located ahead of the center armrest instead of on the door. This makes sense, considering that the doors are designed to be removed easily. Drivers in Caldwell, TX, will notice that the side mirrors are mounted on the hood for the same reason.
ÂThe Ford Bronco Sport offers seating for five. Standard upholstery is cloth, but leather is available, as are heated front seats and steering wheel. The rear liftgate boast flip-out glass for easy loading of small articles. Creative cargo space like under-seat storage helps drivers in Cameron, TX, when they're planning for off-roading adventures, as do built-in power outlets, rear floodlights, and even a bottle opener built into the liftgate. There are several available outdoor-themed accessory packages, including ones intended for biking, snow, water, and camping adventures. Best of all, the interior is designed to be hosed out!
Â
The Bronco comes standard with Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay® smartphone integration, which includes wireless functionality, allowing you to connect your Smartphone's apps to the touchscreen without requiring the use of a USB cord. There is a standard eight-inch touchscreen and an available 12-inch version. Also available is a navigation system featuring trail recommendations, and an available 360-degree exterior camera system which offers comprehensive views to help you when choosing the right trail or when parallel parking.
 ÂThe Bronco Sport also comes standard with Android Autoâ„¢ and Apple CarPlay® smartphone integration and an eight-inch touchscreen. Integrated navigation is available on the higher level trims.
The Bronco offers plenty of electronic aids to help you meet off-roading challenges. Trail Control works like a slow-speed cruise control that can be adjusted in half-mile increments. Trail One-Pedal Drive automatically applies the brakes as you release your pressure on the gas pedal, making it unnecessary for you to control both pedals simultaneously while maneuvering on unstable rocks and other terrain. Trail Turn Assist applies the brake of the inside rear wheel as you steer, which simplifies three-point turns.
 ÂAll Bronco Sport trims come with a suite of active safety features including forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, a blind-spot monitor, and lane keeping assist.
