INTERIOR, SOLACE & BAGGAGE
Ford planned out the 2022 Ford Bronco interior space to be perfect for those adventurous spirits out there. It offers some open-air capabilities as well as some cabin luxuries that can’t be found on its competitors. It has a smartphone and camera rack available as well as frameless doors for easy removal. The passenger capacity depends on whether you get the 2-door or 4-door variants, but usually it can host 4 to 5 passengers. For cargo capacity, the 4-door models have 83 cubic feet of rear space for items you can’t stow in the cubies and compartments of the passenger space.
TOWING CAPACITY
Although there’s no mention of axle ratios on its specs sheet, we know that the 2022 Ford Bronco towing capacity sits at about 3,500 pounds for both 2-door and 4-door variants. This changes with the Bronco Raptor as it has a max towing capacity of 4,500 pounds.
TECHNOLOGY
The infotainment suite of the Ford Bronco is mostly provided by the SYNC 4 infotainment suite – a solid collection of features which we’ve given high praise to. The base model starts off with an 8-inch LCD capacitive touchscreen but is further improved to a 12-inch display with voice recognition capabilities on the higher trim levels. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come supported for both streaming uses and app compatibility. Although the base model’s sound system is a simple 6-speaker AM/FM setup, the Raptor finishes it with a 7-Speaker AM/FM Stereo system with a subwoofer unit installed.
SAFETY
The Ford Bronco comes equipped with a host of safety features and driver-assistive technologies that are basically a necessity these day. The safety suite includes features such as AdvanceTrac, Roll Stability Control, Trailer Sway Controls, a 360-degree Camera, and a Rear View Camera as well. Drivers may also opt for a Keyless-Entry Keypad as an optional feature on most of the Bronco lineup.
WARRANTY
Ford offers a limited warranty plan which spans for 3 years or the first 36,000 miles driven, whichever comes first. They also offer a powertrain warranty that covers for 5 years with a mileage limit of 60,000 miles driven. Although they don’t offer any plans for complimentary scheduled maintenance, all the other warranty offers seem to align with those offered by their competitors.
