Ford Bronco vs Bronco Sport

However, while the prices of each model can vary by trim, the Ford Bronco Sport comes in at a more affordable entry price point than the Ford Bronco by and large. So, if you're on a strict budget and want the most cost-effective way to get behind the wheel, the new Ford Bronco Sport should be on your radar. Of course, if you've got a bit more flexibility in your budget and want a more rugged SUV, you'll get plenty of bang for your buck with the new Ford Bronco.

However, the smaller stature of the Ford Bronco Sport can actually be a benefit in some driving scenarios. For example, if you've ever had to weave your way through traffic near the Allentown Farmer's Market, you know that smaller SUVs like the Ford Bronco Sport fare better in crowded spaces. Couple that with the fact that the Ford Bronco Sport can be easier to parallel park than the larger Ford Bronco and it's easy to see why bigger isn't always necessarily better.

Additionally, the Ford Bronco can be had in both two-door and four-door variants. Comparatively, the the Ford Bronco Sport only has a standard four-door body style.

Finally, if you love open air driving, you should opt for the new Ford Bronco with its removable soft-top and removable doors. These options make it perfect for a summertime drive to Lenape Park in nearby Sellersville, PA. Now, the new Ford Bronco Sport doesn't have a removable soft-top or removable doors to speak of, but it can be had with a sunroof to let some air in on warmer days here in Quakertown, PA.

Interior Design

There are some key similarities and just as many differences to be found in the cabins of the Ford Bronco and Ford Bronco Sport. As you might expect of off-road-oriented SUVs, both offer durable, premium materials throughout their cabins, so whether you track in grass and sand on your golf cleats from the Mainland Golf Course in Harleysville or snow and mud, you can rest assured that the interiors of both the Ford Bronco and Ford Bronco Sport are made to weather the elements.

Interestingly, even though the Ford Bronco is slightly taller on the outside, the Ford Bronco Sport offers a bit more head room up front, making it a little bit better for taller drivers. Of course, the new Ford Bronco still has plenty of clearance up front, and it boasts more legroom in its four-door model than the Ford Bronco Sport.

Now, when it comes to seating capacity, the new Ford Bronco Sport can easily accommodate up to five passengers. The four-door Ford Bronco also offers space for up to five, but it's worth noting that its interior capacity drops to four with the two-door Ford Bronco body style.

Plus, as a unibody SUV, the new Ford Bronco Sport offers a more comfortable ride quality for longer drives. The ride quality of the Ford Bronco is much more similar to most pickup trucks with its body-on-frame design.

On the other hand, the Ford Bronco has more standard horsepower and more muscle overall. Whether you opt for the 300-horsepower 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine or the top end 418-horsepower turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 engine, the new Ford Bronco is much more muscular than the Ford Bronco Sport, making it the better pick overall for off-roading.

Of course, with extra power comes extra fuel consumption, so if you're looking for something you can drive daily in the greater Perkasie, PA area, the Ford Bronco Sport might be a better fit for your lifestyle. With an EPA-estimated 25 mpg city / 28 mpg highway, the Ford Bronco Sport boasts better fuel economy than the Ford Bronco.

Now, as a body-on-frame SUV with more power and a greater variety of rugged equipment on its trim list, the new Ford Bronco is better equipped for the most avid off-roader. It can be had with available HOSS 2.0™, HOSS 3.0™, or HOSS 4.0™ suspension systems, electronic locking front and rear differentials, and a front stabilizer bar disconnect, all of which make it easy to crawl over rocks, ford streams, cruise through sand, mud, or any other obstacle that nature can throw at you.

On top of that, if you'd like to take your toys on the trail, the Ford Bronco has a better overall towing capacity than its sibling. And with the ability to tow up to 4,500 pounds when properly equipped, the Ford Bronco is great for folks with camping trailers that they love to take to parks and campgrounds across the state.

That said, the Ford Bronco Sport has plenty of brawn for towing in its own right. It can confidently move 2,200 pounds when properly equipped, so if you're looking to take a small boat or kayak trailer out to Nockamixon State Park here in Quakertown, the Ford Bronco is great for just that.
