Off-Road Capabilities of the 2023 Ford Bronco
The Versatile and Capable 2023 Ford Bronco
If your idea of a good time is exploring dirt trails and rough roads, then it’s time to exchange your Jeep Wrangler for a 2023 Ford Bronco. The compact SUV is loaded with off-road features that put other trail-ready vehicles to shame. With a handful of trims - all outfitted with everything needed for a dirt-filled joyride, the 2023 Ford Bronco is the king of the off-road hill.
Along with plenty of off-road features, the 2023 Bronco also has a substantial towing capacity, and you can explore this exceptional vehicle at Hilltop Ford near Hercules and Berkeley.
What Powers the Bronco For Off-Road Fun
The 2023 Ford Bronco engine begins with a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder. This engine delivers 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. This engine comes with a 10-speed automatic transmission, and a seven-speed manual transmission is available.
The other optional engines include a 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged V6 with 330 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque and a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with 418 horsepower. All models have standard four-wheel drive, which is expected for an off-road-ready SUV. The 3.0L EcoBoost engine is only available in the Bronco Raptor trim, while the 2.7-liter engine is standard in the new Bronco Heritage Edition trim.
The 2023 Ford Bronco towing capacity is 3,500 pounds which is the same maximum towing capacity as the Jeep Wrangler. The Bronco’s fuel economy ratings vary based on the trim, configuration, and engine. The 2.3-liter four-cylinder has an EPA-estimated fuel rating of 20/21 MPG, while the 2.7-liter V6 gets an EPA-estimated fuel rating of 16/17 MPG. The Raptor trim guzzles fuel with its EPA-estimated rating of 15/16 MPG.
Why the Bronco Leads the Pack for Off-Roading
The Bronco delivers exceptional off-road performance thanks to its independent front- and solid-axle rear suspension. The ground clearance ranges from 8.3 inches on the entry-level trim to 13.3 inches on the Bronco Raptor. Ford outfits the Bronco with several skid plates and available features include locking differentials, oversized all-terrain tires, Fox shocks, winch-ready bumpers, and more. All models come with the terrain-management system with G.O.A.T. modes that Go Over Any Terrain - including rocks, mud, and sand.
The 2023 Ford Bronco also has several features that make the ride comfortable whether you’re driving on rocks, sand, mud, or pavement. Several trims have rubberized flooring for easy cleaning, leather-trimmed seats for durability, and removable doors and tops for added fun!
