The 2021 Ford Bronco Sport is wasting no time, Penticton. Ahead of its release in B.C. just a bit later this year, the machine has already scored a win in an off-road race.

Driver and navigator tandem, Shelby Hall and Penny Dale, drove the 2021 Bronco Sport to victory at the prestigious Rebelle Rally event this past Saturday. They grabbed first place in the X-Cross class event, which is a week-long journey that requires each participant to trek across 1,200 miles of California and Nevada desert. Only compass-and-map navigation may be used—no new-fangled GPS technology.
 

“Just finishing Rebelle is an impressive feat – we’re proud of all three Bronco Sport teams,” said Mark Grueber, Bronco brand marketing manager. “The results really underscore that Bronco Sport delivers, both for seasoned pros and off-road novices. All of these women embody what Built Wild™ stands for, and the first-place finish by Shelby and Penny helps establish this all-new vehicle as the Bronco of small SUVs.”

The all-new Bronco Sport will bring an available 2.0-liter EcoBoost® engine offering segment-best torque and horsepower with it when it arrives later this year.

Can’t get enough of the upcoming 2021 Bronco? You’re certainly not alone, and Ford knows it—which is why they’re debuting “Bring Back Bronco: The Untold Story” on August 10.

“Bring Back Bronco” is an eight-part podcast series that takes a look at how Ford’s celebrated SUV came to be. Hosted by former National Public Radio transportation and economics correspondent, Sonari Glinton, the series will cover the original debut of the Bronco through its cancellation in 1996—and the efforts of Ford’s “Bronco Underground” employees who covertly worked to bring the automobile back to life.
 

"The Bronco is an iconic vehicle, with an unusual history of twists and turns, ascents and descents,” said Ford Chief Communications Officer, Mark Truby. “It demands a fresh storytelling approach to shed light on what makes it special and so compelling to its huge fan base, as well as for new fans who will discover the rich history along with the new Broncos.”

“Bring Back Bronco” will be available on Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, and more come August 10. Call us to learn more!

The 2021 Ford Bronco is ready to inspire enthusiasts, prospective owners, and industry copycats upon its release early next year. A large part of its undeniable appeal—aside from its sensational look—is its emphasis on power and performance. Let’s dive in!

The 2021 Bronco is equipped with an independent front suspension that delivers increased comfort, confidence, and control. The rear of the machine has a solid axle design sporting coil springs outfitted with five locating links for enhanced control on the trails. Plus, position-sensitive Bilstein® dampers can be had to further ramp up durability when off-roading.
 

Of course, we can’t neglect to mention what’s under the hood. The all-new two- and four-door Broncos are set to come standard with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost producing a targeted 270 HP and best-in-class four-cylinder torque of 310 lb.-ft. There’s also an available 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 capable of a targeted 310 HP and 400 lb.-ft. of torque.

Get ready, Penticton! The 2021 Ford Bronco two- and four-door models are set to take B.C. by storm early next year. If you’re a fan of off-roading, this machine is poised to blow your mind with sophisticated trail technology that likely outstrips anything you’ve experienced prior.

Off-road capability hits segment-leading levels in the 2021 Bronco thanks to reinforced, exposed front tow hooks and available heavy-duty modular steel bumpers with an integrated Ford Performance accessory winch mount. Additionally, you’ll benefit from a maximum 29-degree breakover angle and 37.2-degree departure angle, available best-in-class 11.6-inch ground clearance, and best-in-class water fording capability that exceeds 33 inches.
 

The 2021 Ford Bronco doesn't stop there. Its first-in-its segment Trail Toolbox elevates the experience further with improved off-road turning radiuses through torque vectoring thanks to Trail Turn Assist. Also, Trail One-Pedal Drive provides better slow-mode rock crawling as a function of enhanced acceleration and braking control.

2021 Bronco to Bring Driver-Selectable Modes to Penticton

Tags:

The upcoming two- and four-door Broncos—set for release early next year—are set to provide thrilling off-roading experiences for owners throughout B.C. Today, we want to discuss two incredible aspects of these upcoming vehicles—driver-selectable modes and available 4x4 systems.

The 2021 Bronco will supply drivers with seven selectable modes depending on the use case of their outing. First up is “Normal” (self-explanatory, right?), followed by “Eco” and “Sport,” the former of which puts a focus on fuel conservation and the latter of which firms things up for a fun ride. There’s also “Slippery” and “Sand” for traction control, and “Baja,” “Mud/Ruts,” and “Rock Crawl” specifically for off-road driving.
 

The new Broncos are also offered with the option of two separate 4x4 systems. The base system relies on a two-speed, electronic shift, on-the-fly transfer case. The advanced system ups the ante with a two-speed electromechanical transfer case with an auto mode for on-demand engagement and 2H/4H selection.

Unless you’ve been completely off the grid the past week, you’ve likely heard about the new Ford lineup that’s completely at home, well, off the grid—the new 2021 Bronco. These machines are all “Built Wild,” and the particularly burly two- and four-door Broncos are ready to take Penticton and B.C. by storm starting early next year.

The new two- and four-door Broncos come loaded with your choice of powerful EcoBoost engines, including an available 2.7L EcoBoost V6 that churns out a sensational 310 horses and 400 lb.-ft. of torque. While an automatic transmission is available, buyers will have their choice of a hands-on, segment-exclusive seven-speed manual. Also available are tremendous 35-inch tires (also segment-exclusive) and a best-in-class 94.75:1 crawl ratio, suspension travel, water fording, and ground clearance.
 

Oh, and want to show off a bit? The 2021 Bronco comes with segment-exclusive digital trail mapping functionality that allows for the planning, recording, and sharing of off-road experiences through an all-in-one app.

Penticton Awaits the New 2021 Bronco Sport

While Ford announced the exciting new 2021 Bronco two-door and four-door models this week, they also had another thrilling reveal—the compact, rugged, and stylish 2021 Bronco Sport. Built using the Big Blue Oval’s C2 platform, the Sport offers a different take on the Bronco without sacrificing the off-road focus.

The 4x4 2021 Bronco Sport is powerful and capable—and more than ready for you to put it through its paces in Penticton and B.C. when it goes on sale in North America later this year. The SUV is set to impress with its available 2.0-liter EcoBoost® engine offering segment-best torque and horsepower. Its architecture also boasts a class-exclusive twin-clutch rear-drive unit with a differential lock feature, as well as cargo area to support stowing two 27.5-inch-wheel mountain bikes and a safari-style roof that boasts class-leading headroom.
 

That’s not all. The new Bronco Sport offers class-exclusive (you’ll be hearing that phrase a lot over the coming months) Trail Control™ tech that enhances off-road performance. It works by enabling a cruise control-esque experience up to 20 MPH forward and 6 MPH in reverse, providing for vehicle-controlled braking and throttle.

Penticton Rejoices as Ford’s Bronco Returns

Bronco is back! Earlier this week, Ford revealed the all-new two- and four-door models of the Bronco to wildly positive feedback from the automotive community. Last seen in 1996, these rough-and-tumble SUVs are returning for 2021 and are packing a ton of power and utility.

You’ll love what’s under the hood. The new Bronco is outfitted with your choice of spectacular engines. The 2.3L EcoBoost option was designed to hit “best-in-class” four-cylinder torque numbers of 310 lb.-ft. alongside an expected 270 horsepower. Even better, the available 2.7L EcoBoost V6 variant is slated to crank out 310 HP and 400 lb.-ft. of torque. There’s also the option of a segment-exclusive 7-speed manual transmission for those drivers that elect to forgo the automatic.
 

Notably, the 2021 Bronco is modular. You can break down both the two-door and four-door models in almost any way you can imagine. Select versions provide quick-swap, fast-release stowable doors and roof panels. This combined with the standard 4x4 functionality across the entire lineup ensures these machines are truly Built Wild.



The 2021 Bronco two- and four-door models will become available early next year. Ring us at Skaha Ford now to learn more!

Penticton, the Ford Bronco Has a Rich History

Tags:

(Posted on Jul 13, 2020 at 06:40AM )
In one of our previous postings, we discussed the legacy of the Ford Bronco dating back to World War II. Now, ahead of this week’s unveiling of the all-new 2021 Bronco, we wanted to take a moment to once again revisit history and speak on the vehicle’s racing impact.

That’s right. The original Bronco—first released in 1966—made an appearance at the 1969 Baja 1000 motorsport race. Founded by Ed Pearlman and run on the Baja California Peninsula in northwestern Mexico, it’s one of the world’s most prestigious off-road races… and drivers Larry Minor and Rod Hall captured an overall win in a Bronco at the grueling event in ’69. It’s a feat no other production 4x4 has achieved in 50 years.

Now, Ford is set to bring the Bronco back. The 2021 iteration will be revealed on National Geographic, ESPN, and ABC at 8 p.m. EDT this Monday, July 13th. It’s an event set to inspire enthusiasts in Penticton and beyond.
 

“Rugged vehicles are in our heritage and we see strong growth opportunities with this ever-more popular segment,” said Kumar Galhotra, Ford president, Americas, and International Markets Group. “The Bronco brand meets that need by creating a family of truly capable off-roaders to take our customers further into the wild. We’ve leveraged our extensive off-road experience from vehicles like F-150 Raptor to ensure that every Bronco delivers the Built Wild toughness and durability our customers expect.”

Ring us later this week to get the scoop on the all-new Bronco!

Penticton, Enjoy a Short History of the Ford Bronco

Tags:

Penticton, do you know just how far back the lineage of Ford’s venerable Bronco goes? Contrary to popular belief, the SUV, last seen in 1996 and ready for a return this upcoming week, can trace its history well before the 1960s.

Ford first dived into the world of SUVs during World War II, developing technology and engineering prowess that would eventually be used in the Bronco. Joining an American government competition to construct tough carry-all utilities for GIs on the battlefield, the Big Blue Oval created the GP, short for “general purpose.” More than 270,000 were built for Allied forces and, upon returning home, many GIs brought surplus GPs with them. 
 

Following the war, Ford realized the GPs were too small for civilians, so in the early ’60s they redeveloped the machine into an off-road vehicle for the masses—the Bronco. Nicknamed the G.O.A.T. by Donald Frey, Ford president, the machines would come to be known for their “go anywhere roadability” upon their reveal on Aug. 11, 1965 and release in 1966.

Call us at Skaha Ford later this upcoming week to hear all about the new Bronco!
