Ford's vintage revival lives up to the hype. Nicer to drive than the Wrangler on-road and just as capable off, the Bronco checks every box you'd expect from a modern off-roader.

Pros: Go-anywhere capability; unique style; trim level variety; two- and four-door options; strong engines; it’s a convertible! Cons: LOUD!; strange digital instruments; interior materials quality; wonky cloth roof fitment; parking the ultra-wide Raptor So you’re considering a 2024 Ford Bronco, huh? We totally get it. The Bronco is one of the coolest new vehicles on the road, whether you’re talking about a modest Big Bend, a mighty Raptor or the multitude of versions in between. Two doors or four. Four cylinders or six. Manual or automatic. Soft top, hard top, no top. Doors on, doors off. There really is something for everyone. But, as you’re reading a review, chances are you want to make sure the Bronco really is a good choice, so let’s take a moment to dwell on the negative. Every Bronco is extremely loud, including a hard top with the acoustic liner, and even when compared to other off-roaders. The interior quality is awfully meh for such an expensive vehicle, and while we’re talking about prices, the $2,540 destination/acquisition fees seem like extortion (speaking of which, dealer markups are still a thing). There’s also the matter of imprecise handling and poor fuel economy relative crossovers, strange digital gauges, and some wonky cloth roof fitment. Finally, there’s just a decent chance you’ll like the Jeep Wrangler more, or given the Bronco’s elevated price tags, the new Lexus GX and its Toyota Land Cruiser twin. In other words, make sure you look around and to really know what you’re in for. Otherwise, the Bronco is rad! Enjoy! Interior & Technology | Passenger & Cargo Space | Performance & Fuel Economy What it's like to drive | Pricing & Trim Levels | Crash Ratings & Safety Features What's new for 2024? Every Bronco now comes standard with a 12-inch touchscreen, but the keyless entry keypad is no more. All trim levels but the Raptor also now come with a trailer tow pack. Now for some trim-level-specific news. The Base trim level is dead. The Big Bend can no longer be equipped with the V6. The Outer Banks is no longer available as a two-door. The Badlands is now V6-only unless you want a manual transmission, in which case you can still get it with the four-cylinder. The Badlands and Wildtrak get the previously optional Ford Performance Heavy-Duty Modular Front Bumper standard, while the Raptor’s black fender flares are now optional. Body color ones are now standard. What are the Bronco interior and in-car technology like? The Ford Bronco interior delivers a suitably rugged and retro-inspired design that goes well with its exterior. Those models that get an extra splash of color here are there are standouts, but in general, it's appropriately one of the more characterful cabins out there. There are also a number of thoughtful details well-suited for the Bronco's rugged use: rubber-lined grips that help you climb aboard (and keep you in place), rubber-encased buttons, roof-mounted auxiliary switches, a lockable center console bin, MOLLE strap connectors on the …
