At DePaula Ford, we aim to give you the best possible experience when considering a brand-new Ford Bronco purchase.

The Ford Bronco is one of Ford's most legendary vehicles. Even though it's been off the market for quite a while, it was a top-rated SUV for decades, starting in 1966. It underwent five generations of improvements and legacy until Ford stopped producing the Bronco in 1996. To truly appreciate the magnitude of the 2021 Ford Bronco, we have to understand the entire history of the Bronco.
The first Ford Bronco came to market in 1966. From the beginning, the Bronco set the standard for rugged capability, increased performance, and iconic design. The first-generation Bronco offered many different capabilities that enhanced off-roading and soon made a name for itself in the Baja 500 and Baja 1000. It's easy to see that the Ford Bronco began setting its legacy right from the start.
The second and third generations of the Bronco ran from 1978 to 1986. In 1978, the Ford Bronco saw record sales and improved off-roading capability. Going into the 1980s, Ford redesigned the Bronco for a more comfortable ride and better fuel efficiency on the road. This improvement was a game-changer because now the Bronco could appeal to a broader audience. We also saw more luxury features added to the Bronco, meaning you could have rugged with premium.
In 1987, the legacy of the Bronco continued with the debut of its fourth generation. Performance was the focus of this generation, and it was built on the tougher F-150 chassis rather than the F-100 chassis. Ford continued the aerodynamic design, adding better safety features and even a new powertrain. The fifth generation of the Ford Bronco debuted in 1991 and was especially noteworthy because it celebrated the 25th anniversary of the Bronco. It was a huge milestone and spoke to this vehicle's impact on the market.
From 1992 until 1996, the fifth-generation Bronco wowed drivers with improved interior and exterior designs, creating a perfect balance between luxury and convenience. Drivers were confident in its performance and capability both on and off-road, and the Bronco became the first choice for government agencies in need of off-road trucks, including the United States Forest Service and Border Patrol. This legendary SUV lasted for 30 years, and even though we wouldn't see another Bronco for decades, it wasn't done turning heads yet, returning to wow drivers in 2021!
If you thought the Bronco couldn’t get any better, you haven’t met the 2023 lineup, which includes even more options to make your time in the driver’s seat absolutely epic. New for 2023, the Bronco is available in a Heritage trim, which pays tribute to the Bronco’s roots throughout history, with 1966-era styling cues and plenty of timeless design inside and out. From an Oxford white two-tone roof to a throwback grille and distinctive badging, the Heritage edition will take you back in time to the Bronco’s first year in the industry. You’ll also find a Heritage Limited trim available, which showcases sleek styling elements, like leather-trimmed plaid seats, metal Bronco fender lettering, and more exclusive badging throughout.
You’ll find a number of outstanding trim levels in the Bronco arsenal, from wild adventurers to elegant travelers, making the Bronco lineup as versatile as ever. Tested and tormented, the Bronco is capable of handling virtually any environment you come across. With a front bumper winch system, roof rack, and ingenious tailgate storage, the Bronco proves that it’s ready for anything on the road and off. Its adventurous tendencies extend inside, with its durable and easy-to-clean interior cabin space, complete with drain plugs, rubber floor mats, and a rugged style that makes it easy to tackle your next adventure when the Bronco is involved.
Like the Bronco, the subcompact Bronco Sport can be found in the Heritage and Heritage Limited trims to add a touch of timeless class to this respected traveler. It’s also been equipped to showcase even more thrill off-road, with a Black Diamond Off-Road package available on some of its trims. Featuring 17-inch wheels, steel bash plates, and more durable elements, the Bronco Sport is exceptionally capable of handling whatever the great outdoors tosses its way. Whether it’s the Bronco or the smaller Bronco Sport that has captured your attention, you’ll find that both models are ready to deliver the heightened experience you’re looking for on the road and beyond.
The 2022 Bronco features even more engaging elements to make your time on the road absolutely exceptional. New for 2022, the first-ever Bronco Raptor joins the lineup, which amplifies your time on the trails, armed with a specialized HOSS 4.0 suspension system with off-road-tuned FOX shocks, massive 37-inch tires, and a ready-for-anything design that takes command on the trails. You’ll also find a new Everglades model, which features a first-ever specialized WARN winch kit and air-intake snorkel to tackle the swamps, muddy trails, and other wet environments like a seasoned pro. When it comes to flexibility on the road or off, the Bronco takes this very seriously. For 2022, it adds an available slide-out tailgate capable of acting as a work surface, access step, or table to maximize its versatility on the go.
Its Wildtrak model gets a boost in capabilities as well, with an available HOSS 3.0 package equipped with FOX 2.5-inch Internal Bypass Dampers and a specialized steering rack to add control and agility to any type of adventure. You’ll also find durability elements added to this wild machine by way of a front steel bash plate and bumper to allow you to take on some of the most challenging obstacles during your expeditions. Named the 2022 North American Utility Vehicle of the Year, the Bronco and its plethora of models available, brings a level of excellence to the Ford lineup that can’t be rivaled. The Bronco is certainly back, and it’s even more riveting than ever before.
The Bronco’s reign of excellence doesn’t end here, though, and if you’re in the market for a smaller version of this icon, the Bronco Sport is ready to wow you. Debuting alongside the reinvented Bronco for 2021, the Bronco Sport showcases the perfect blend of Bronco style and capabilities all wrapped up into a versatile and ready-for-anything subcompact SUV. The 2022 Bronco Sport showcases a bold, truck-inspired stance and standard all-wheel drive capabilities, offering drivers a smaller version of a legend with its own unique personality to enjoy. When the journey consists of ultimate excitement on the road and off, you can rest assured that you’ll find a Bronco or Bronco Sport among the mix, ready and willing to take your travels to a whole new level of invigorating thrill.
The Ford Bronco made its grand return for the 2021 model year, and it came back better than ever. The new Ford Bronco and the smaller Ford Bronco Sport stay true to their Bronco legacy and are more powerful and capable than ever. With a variety of packages and trims for each of these Broncos, you can be sure you will find the right one for your needs. Whether you're new to off-roading or an old pro, there is a 2021 Ford Bronco designed for you.
The 2021 Ford Bronco features all the power and capability you could want from a midsize SUV. It has a standard 4x4 system that allows you to take on nearly any terrain––quite literally. The Bronco is equipped with a Terrain Management System with G.O.A.T. Modes (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain). There are seven possible G.O.A.T. modes in the 2021 Bronco, including Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, Mud/Ruts, Sand, Rock Crawl, and Baja. The trim level of your 2021 Bronco will determine how many of these modes are available.
It's obvious the 2021 Bronco already stands out in its segment with best-in-class ground clearance, water fording, and break-over angles. The powertrain options also stand out with an available best-in-class four-cylinder and six-cylinder horsepower. All of this means you can take adventures off-road like you never have before. Choose from seven different 2021 Ford Bronco trims to find the perfect level of luxury, features, performance, and capability you need.
The 2021 Ford Bronco Sport is a new addition to the Bronco family, and it's quickly making its way to the top. Smaller and more nimble, the Bronco Sport has a distinctive modern exterior design and plenty of features. The large interior brings a best-in-class cargo volume of 65.2 cu.ft. All of that extra cargo storage makes packing for adventure much more fun. Each 2021 Bronco Sport comes standard with a 4x4 system and G.O.A.T. modes to keep the experience constantly moving.
The other defining feature of the Ford Bronco Sport is the safari-style roof. It's built to withstand up to 150 lbs on its roof cargo rack while driving and 600 lbs while parked.
