After 25 years, the legendary Ford Bronco returns and we here at Vivid Racing are thrilled to have the iconic SUV in our possession. Join us as we give you an up-close and personal look at our brand-new 2021 Ford Bronco Sport in the video below. Watch as we share our first thoughts, take it out onto the road for a quick test drive, and then pull it onto our in-house AWD Mustang Dyno to find out just how much power the turbocharged 2.0 Ecoboost engine produces to the wheels!
We are going to start modifying the Bronco and conduct some performance tests to see what the new EcoBoost engine can produce. And, as you may recall, we have some experience playing with the EcoBoost platform in the Ford Focus ST and the Raptor. So we will really be able to cram some extra power out of the Bronco’s engine and make this SUV a proper off-road vehicle.
If you’ve done your research, you know that the Ford Bronco Sport with the 2.0-liter turbocharged engine makes 250 horsepower. On our dyno, the Bronco was pushing around 200-210 all-wheel horsepower and 280-300 pound-feet of torque. But there is so much more you can get out of that engine and that’s exactly what we are setting out to prove.
What upgrades should we do first? We want to know what you think. Let us know your suggestions in the comment section below.
While the 2021 Bronco is certainly an exhilarating adventure partner, this isn’t its first rodeo (no pun intended). The new breed of off-road vehicle debuted in 1966, winning the hearts of outdoor enthusiasts everywhere while also setting the mold for the future (and what is now the modern) SUV. And now that it has returned, fans of the sport utility vehicle are beyond excited to see what it can do and just how far you can take it.
Ford describes the all-new Bronco Sport as being your wilderness guide with four unique series engineered to match the way you experience the outdoors. Each one is expertly designed and fully equipped to get exploring – whether it be to the woodland trails, scenic shores, or mountain ranges. The Ford Bronco Sport is where your adventure begins but never ends; the possibilities are virtually endless.
To encourage your journey into the wild, this rugged SUV puts utility in the foreground with a purposeful design, standard 4×4, G.O.A.T. Modes (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain), and a H.O.S.S. suspension system, to help you tackle any terrain with impressive levels of comfort and power.
This is so nice, it seems to be the best in the market. Am waiting for it.
