The Ford Bronco was built for people who want a vehicle that feels as comfortable heading off-road as it does running errands on a Monday morning. At Ray Skillman Hoosier Ford, we love showing drivers near Indianapolis, Indiana, what this iconic 4×4 can do, from its removable doors and roof to its serious trail hardware.
Ford has spent decades building a reputation for tough, go-anywhere SUVs, and the Bronco carries that legacy forward with modern engineering. Whether you spend your weekends chasing trails or you just want something that turns heads on the school run, this SUV brings a mix of grit and personality that few competitors can match.
The Bronco starts with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder that makes 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque, giving you responsive acceleration for merging onto I-465 or passing on the open highway. If you want more muscle, an available 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 raises output to 330 horsepower and 415 lb-ft, which comes in handy when you are towing a trailer or loading up for a camping trip. The range-topping Raptor pushes things even further with a 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 rated at 418 horsepower.
Every Bronco comes standard with four-wheel drive and a two-speed transfer case, so traction is never an afterthought. The 2.3-liter engine offers a rare seven-speed manual transmission with a dedicated crawler gear for drivers who like full control on the trail, while a smooth 10-speed automatic is available across the lineup. Properly equipped, most models tow up to 3,500 pounds, and the Raptor handles as much as 4,500 pounds.
Behind the wheel, a 12-inch touchscreen running Ford’s SYNC 4 system anchors the dashboard with clear menus and quick responses. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come standard, so your maps, music, and messages stay within easy reach without fumbling for a cable. A 12-inch digital instrument cluster gives you a crisp, customizable view of your speed, trail data, and navigation.
For the off-road crowd, Ford packs the Bronco with genuinely useful tools. Trail Control works like off-road cruise control, holding a steady low speed so you can focus on steering, while Trail Turn Assist tightens your turning radius on narrow paths. An available 360-degree camera helps you spot rocks and ruts before they become a problem.
Ford Co-Pilot360 comes standard on every Bronco, bundling forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, and automatic high beams. Higher trims add blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and lane-keeping assistance, giving you extra confidence on busy stretches of highway.
The Bronco’s signature trick is its modular design. The doors come off, the roof panels lift away, and a routine commute turns into an open-air cruise. Marine-grade vinyl seats and washout flooring with drain plugs on select trims mean a little mud or a surprise rain shower is nothing to stress about. This is a vehicle designed to be lived in, not babied.
Add it all up, and the Bronco delivers a rare blend of everyday usability and weekend capability. It is the kind of SUV that fits a busy family calendar during the week and a muddy trail on Saturday, all without asking you to compromise.
One of the best things about the Bronco is how many ways you can configure it. From the value-focused Base to the trail-ready Badlands and the high-flying Raptor, there is a version tuned for the way you drive. Ground clearance reaches up to 11.6 inches with the available Sasquatch Package, and water fording depth climbs as high as 33.5 inches, so a rainy-season creek crossing on the way to your favorite trailhead is no problem. Here is a quick look at how the trims stack up.
