I am not an off-roading person at all but I find myself so attracted to this new Bronco. Ford really nailed this one. Now if only I can convince my wife to drive this when we replace our Highlander in 2-3 years.

One thing I hope they introduce is a blackout or shadow line type of styling. I like the gloss black contrast against white/lighter colors to look more aggressive

I would want the 4cyl manual probably, wonder what it could tow.
Edit: seems to be 3500 lbs I was just thinking of being able to throw a bike or two in the back. If I have to get a trailer then yeah I am going to get a truck that will actually be able to tow something, so I'd get a real truck with a diesel or v8.

Not going to buy a first year model but definitely getting a 2022. Nice to see competition in the Jeep Wrangler market space. Had a new Rubicon but it was such a complete FCA piece of shit it was sold after 9 months of ownership. Looks like Ford got this one right! Can't wait to see it in person.

MY 1999 F150 4x4 V6 5-speed manual with 210 HP/250lb-ft torque had a tow rating of 5,000 pounds. Two dirt bikes weigh what, 500 pounds total plus a 800 pound trailer. Any 100 HP car could tow that.

I found the C&D articles I read earlier today:
"The Bronco Sport is rated to tow 2000 pounds with the 1.5-liter engine and 2200 pounds with the 2.0-liter engine." https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a3...pecs-revealed/ "Both the two- and four-door [Bronco] models are rated to tow 3500 pounds—same as the Wrangler." https://www.caranddriver.com/ford/bronco |

The point is the New Bronco should be able to handle a dirt bike trailer and 2 bikes easily.
