Like its larger counterpart, the 2023 Ford Bronco Sport is all about excitement on the roads less traveled. Even the standard edition of this compact SUV has impressive on and off-road capabilities. However, the Bronco Sport suspension takes things to new heights and, combined with the Bronco Sport ground clearance, can really boost your ability to hit the trail. Find the new 2023 Ford Bronco Sport at Joe Machens Capital City Ford with low-interest financing for qualified Columbia buyers. Keep reading to get the inside scoop on the Ford Bronco Sport and its offroad worthiness. Keep in mind the features listed below are spread among all of the Bronco Sport trims.
While the new Bronco Sport was made to look exciting and sporty, it’s actually far more capable than the average “sporty-looking” SUV.
Much of this stems from the HOSS independent front and rear suspension. These systems are tested on the most unforgiving terrains, giving you the stability that makes the Bronco Sport dominate the trail. When the terrain gets rougher, the Bronco gets better, allowing you to maintain control even on the bumpiest of trails. The 2023 Ford Bronco Sport ground clearance is intentionally higher than most SUVs from this class, designed specifically to get you over those larger obstacles and avoid high burning.
The four-wheel drive systems were made specifically for the Bronco Sport – and they’re standard across the entire lineup regardless of the trim. This setup, known as the Terrain Management System, has 5 or 7 different GOAT modes. GOAT stands for “go over any type of terrain.” Standard systems include a mode designed specifically for wet surfaces and a sand mode for desert-like off-road conditions. Opting for the Bronco Sport Badlands gives you the Mud/Ruts and Rock Crawl modes to help even the most white-knuckle trails.
The Ford Bronco Sport is incredibly efficient despite its off-road accolades. It comes with a 1.5L Ecoboost engine that cranks out 181 HP and 190 lb-ft of torque. The 8-speed auto transmission provides a wide range of gears for a more optimized and enhanced form of travel. This allows you to shift between multiple lower gears for slow-speed trail riding and rock climbing.
Fuel efficient and smart, the 1.5-liter Ecoboost engine generates 181 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque. An 8-speed automatic transmission provides a broad gear range for better road travel and enhanced slow-speed trail riding. There’s also the available 2.0L Ecoboost, delivering 250 HP and 277 lb-ft of torque. The Badlands version comes with an additional transmission cooler and rear drive cooler, ensuring top performance even during the hottest, demanding conditions.
When you have four metal bash plates, there’s not much that can attack your vehicle from beneath. The Badlands models are able to ford up to 23.6 inches of water through intensive waterproofing, Ford Bronco ground clearance, and tight, efficient construction.
The Rock Crawl mode changes how the electronic power steering reacts to its commands. This gives Fulton drivers a much higher level of precision during low-speed crawling and climbing. Trail Control is a new feature that’s designed to give the Bronco Sport a cruise-control-like ability at speeds of 20 MPH and reverse speeds as low as 6 MPH. This incredible feature guarantees you maintain a steady output of power and avoids engine shuttering and bursts of speed when you want to maintain a constant RPM level.
