This Video Of The 2021 Ford Bronco Sport Holding Its Own In Moab Is Impressive-April 2024

The all-new may have been pitched by the marketing department and media as a softer version of its bigger off-roading sibling, but newly “leaked” video of the company’s development team driving the baby Bronco Sport through Moab is very promising.

While we already saw how torn up from the floor up the new 2021 Ford Bronco gets on Jeep’s “Trail-Rated” 20-mile off-road , The channel has now uploaded the baby Bronco Sport taking some challenges in Moab, Utah for all of our (compact) off-roading ASMR needs:

The Base will start at $28,155, while the Big Bend trim level starts at $29,655, the Outer Banks at $33,625, the Badlands trim at $34,155 and the First Edition option at $34,155. All of those include the $1,495 destination charge.

On the forums, there’s chatter that the team could have possibly aired-down the tires more for better grip and less wheel spin. My biggest takeaway from the clips is just how affirming those “steelies” are as an option, and I hope it’s a popular one.

The 2021 Ford Bronco was unveiled tonight, alongside the Bronco Sport. The smaller Sport has a…
