Colorado Ford Bronco Sport Dealer

You’re the peanut butter to my jelly, the calm to my chaos, the cheese to my macaroni. Have you heard or used these phrases to describe your relationship with someone? As your Colorado Ford Bronco Sport dealer, we started thinking about how these pairings apply to the automotive industry and models like the Bronco and the Bronco Sport. Is the Bronco Sport a complement to the bigger Bronco? We like to think so.

The Bronco’s introduction in America came on the heels of the Mustang’s debut in the late 1960s and answered the growing demand from drivers looking for a rugged vehicle that could handle itself on and off the pavement. As Bronco sales soared over the next several decades, Ford introduced models like the Bronco II that, surprisingly, failed to impress with its smaller, two-door design and was later replaced by the Explorer. By the 1990s, the Explorer and larger Expedition overshadowed the Bronco, ultimately leading to its discontinuation by the end of the decade.

Loyal Ford customers never gave up on the Bronco with rumors circulating that Ford would one day reintroduce the iconic SUV. That day finally came and brought with it not one but two Broncos–the retro Bronco with a modern twist and the Bronco Sport. Affectionately dubbed the “Baby Bronco,” the Bronco Sport ignited a series of questions about its capability and how it differs from its larger, more rugged sibling. As your Bronco Sport dealer, Faricy Automotive Salida is your authority on the Bronco Sport and is happy to show you why the Baby Bronco is a great complement to the Bronco lineup.

What’s the Difference? Bronco vs Bronco Sport

There’s plenty of logic behind the Bronco Sport’s new nickname as the “Baby Bronco.” The logic starts with the obvious–its size. The Bronco Sport is noticeably smaller than the two and four-door Broncos, but there’s a caveat to this. The Bronco is measured from the front bumper to the spare tire mounted on the rear, which is unusable space. The Bronco Sport doesn’t come with a rear-mounted spare, which means its measurements reflect its more functional and versatile interior.

Beyond size, the Bronco Sport is also built on an entirely different platform than the Bronco that lends to its performance and handling on different terrain. The Sport shares the same platform as the Escape crossover, while the Bronco is built on the Ranger truck platform. This leads to various differences in powertrains, suspensions, and performance components that slate the Bronco as the more rugged off-road warrior. However, the Bronco Sport is still the peanut butter to the Bronco’s jelly and can handle its own on easy-to-moderate trails, making it a viable option for adventurers exploring a new hobby like off-roading or for those who don’t need the extreme capability of the bigger Bronco but want the look of the iconic SUV.

2021 Bronco Sport

Marketed as the “Bronco of small SUVs,” the 2021 Bronco Sport may be smaller, but it embodies the same “Built Wild” mentality as the bigger Bronco. The fleet comes standard with four-wheel drive and offers up to seven G.O.A.T. Modes that give you more control over how the SUV performs. Innovative technology like Trail Control extends the Sport’s performance on the trail by taking over the throttle and brake so that you can focus on navigating the terrain ahead.

The Sport’s smaller size makes it easy to maneuver in tight areas, and that means more possibilities for adventure. Ford makes those adventures enjoyable with tools like the class-exclusive front off-road camera with a lens washer that equips the SUV with a spotter and ensures your view is clear regardless of the condition. LED flood lamps on the liftgate add visibility when you’re immersed in the wilderness, while unique features like the MOLLE straps, zippered seatback pockets, flip-glass rear window, low-load floor cargo area, and roof rack add to the Sport’s functionality.

Beyond its agility, the Sport is also extremely capable on and off the pavement. The Sport’s four-wheel drive and G.O.A.T. Modes certainly play a part, but the heartbeat of the SUV is the 2.0-liter EcoBoost engine that sits under the hood of the Badlands and First Edition. The engine delivers best-in-class 250 horsepower and 277 lb-ft of torque, while the standard 1.5-liter EcoBoost holds its own at 181 horses and 190 lb-ft of torque.
