Ford Bronco vs Bronco Sport: Engines, Towing & Cargo
The Ford Bronco offers two potent engine options, including a 2.3L EcoBoost® engine and a 2.7L EcoBoost® engine. Certain configurations offer a 3,500-pound towing capacity with the right equipment. That’s enough to tow oversized toys like a:
- Pop-up camper
- Utility trailer
- Small boat
The 2022 Ford Bronco Sport comes standard with a 1.5L EcoBoost® engine and offers an available 2.0L EcoBoost® engine. When properly configured and equipped with the available Class II Trailer Tow Package, the Ford Bronco Sport can tow up to 2,200 pounds.
Although the Ford Bronco Sport can tow slightly less than the Ford Bronco, it has a few features that enable you to bring extra gear. For example, it comes standard with a safari-style roof that can hold up to 150 pounds of cargo on it as you drive.
2021 Ford Bronco vs Bronco Sport: G.O.A.T. Modes™
Both epic models also come standard with a Terrain Management System™ that includes five standard G.O.A.T. Modes™ (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) modes, including Eco and Sand, as well as:
- Sport
- Normal
- Slippery
Along with these adaptable modes, you can upgrade with available Mud/Ruts and Rock Crawl modes in both the Ford Bronco and the Ford Bronco Sport. If you want to race across sand dunes, you can do so with the optional Baja mode offered on the 2021 Ford Bronco.
Ford Bronco vs Bronco Sport: Ford Co-Pilot360™ Technology
To boost your senses and help you enjoy the open road, both the 2021 Ford Bronco and the Ford Bronco Sport offer plenty of supportive Ford Co-Pilot360™ Technology features too. With the Rear View Camera, you can check your surroundings before backing into a parking spot or pulling out of your driveway. A few of the other features include:
- Lane-Keeping System
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
- BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert
By providing you with audio and visual alerts, these features raise your awareness and keep you focused. They can even intervene by applying corrective steering torque or braking in certain situations to avoid or mitigate a collision.
