“The Synch system is not the best. It has dropped my CarPlay at times and have to resynch.”
2024 Ford Bronco: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The biggest change for the 2024 Ford Bronco is that a 12-inch touchscreen with Ford’s SYNC 4 system is standard across the lineup. This is otherwise a light update rather than a redesign.
About the 2024 Ford Bronco
6th generation (2021-present), fourth model year; minor update year with no redesign.
Ford positions the Bronco as a Built Wild, open-air 4x4 SUV made for trails first but still usable every day. Its core appeal is standard four-wheel drive, removable doors and roof, strong off-road hardware, and a simple, rugged layout that feels more purpose-built than most midsize SUVs. Versus softer crossovers, Bronco is about real trail capability and outdoor flexibility; versus Jeep Wrangler, Ford leans on modern tech, broad trim variety, and factory-engineered off-road systems.
Big Bend is the practical starting point, while Black Diamond and Badlands add tougher hardware for rougher trails. Everglades is the specialist for mud and water crossings, with a raised air intake and factory winch, while Outer Banks emphasizes everyday comfort with leather-trimmed and heated front seats. At the top of the performance range, Bronco Raptor uses a 418-hp twin-turbo V6 and heavy-duty suspension for faster off-road driving.

4.3
2024 Ford Bronco
(177 reviews)
“I would not recommend the Bronco. The windshield cracked the first time I drove it on the highway and the gas mileage is terrible. My 2008 Suburban was getting better mileage than the Bronco gets. The overall ride of the Bronco is good but it is noisy and the inside temperature is hard to control, it is either too hot or too cold.”
“My legs don't work as well as they used to and the Bronco lets me get in and out without any problem.”
