2021 Ford Bronco Specs
2021 Ford Bronco Specs The Ford Bronco will be back. Ford confirmed the return of the legendary SUV in the Detroit Auto Show in 2017, and we hope that the 2021 Bronco will debut there next January. Naturally, Ford has not published much more details on the Bronco 2021, apart from a teaser image, but we know it is based on the 2019 Ranger, which debuted earlier this year.
Here, we’ve compiled everything we’ve heard about the new Bronco, including the details we can get from the Ranger. Ford released the very veiled teaser image earlier this year, and graphic designer Michael Clark gathered speculative representations for us. This is what we think the Bronco will look like, at least in profile: The last generation Bronco was based on the F-150, but Ford’s product manager, Joe Hinrichs told us that 2021 will be based on the new Ranger. Someone who claims to be a Ford designer on Reddit said the Bronco will be similar to Everest, a Ranger-based SUV sold in other markets.
Ford’s former technical director, Raj Nair, however, Contrada that claim — he said the new Bronco will be a unique vehicle, not a redrafted Everest. As for the size, he said that we expected something smaller than the original Bronco but bigger than the Bronco II of 1980. And if you’re worried that the new Bronco is a glorified scout, don’t be. He kept saying “people have an idea of what a Bronco should be. Certainly, we have an idea of what a Bronco must be, and we’ll be willing to take that to our customers. “
We would not be surprised if the new Ford Bronco shares the engine and transmission offerings with the Ranger as they will share a platform. For the American market, the new Ranger obtains a turbocharged cylinder of 2.3 liters derived from the Focus RS. Ford has not published detailed specifications for the Ranger’s engine but has confirmed that it will be equipped with a 10-speed automatic. Ford, however, confirmed in its 2018 Q1 earnings call that the Bronco will get a hybrid transmission train of some sort.
Interestingly, there is a possibility that the 2021 Bronco can get a manual transmission. by anonymous sources who spoke with Madonna Tatarevic in Jalopnik, Ford is working with Getrag on a new seven-speed manual (!) for possible use in the Bronco. There is a possibility that this gearbox, or any manual, for that matter, cannot come to the Bronco production, but here’s the hope. A Bronco manual might not be a great seller, but it would give this 4×4 a serious enthusiastic CRED, and better position it against the Jeep Wrangler, which offers a six-speed stick.
The alleged Ford developer on Reddit said the Bronco will get an off-road version to take on the Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. That fits with Nair’s claim that the Wrangler will be Bronco’s main competitor. As for a Raptor, that’s what no one guesses. Ford is making a Raptor Ranger, but will only be sold in the Asia-Pacific markets. Ford Performance chief Jamal Hameedi did not rule out the possibility of a Raptor Everest at the launch of Ranger Raptor, so there may be some hope for the Bronco.
It is unclear whether Ford will offer a real kick, two-door Bronco, or only a four-door, which would surely be a larger seller. Previously, we heard that Ford does not plan to build a two-door Bronco, but a teaser shared by the car manufacturer makes it look like a two-door gate is possible.
We’ve also heard that the Bronco could get solid axles front and rear. Dana, the same company that manufactures the improved axles for the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, recently said that it will supply transmission components for the Bronco and Ranger.

Interestingly, as Jalopnik discovered for the first time, it seems that Ford’s Bronco 2004 concept will make an appearance on Dwayne “The Rock ” The upcoming Johnson movie, Rampage, which is due next spring. While we do not expect Bronco production to look like this, it is likely that inclusion in the film has something to do with the Ford association with the Rock. In other words, the fact that the Rock is Instagramming this is not a coincidence.
Bronco’s production is tentatively scheduled to begin at the Ford assembly plant in Michigan in 2021. That means that it will make its debut in 2019, possibly in the Detroit Auto Show, and the first examples will arrive in rooms in time for the model year 2021. The price will probably start in the vicinity of $30,000.
