2022 Ford Bronco
Starting at $32.395

Highs Gets looks everywhere it goes, a better daily driver than a Jeep Wrangler, configurable for a multitude of tastes.
Lows Twin-turbo V-6 could sound better, suffers from some refinement issues, cabin materials look mediocre on priciest models.
Verdict Not only is the Bronco a cool and capable off-roader, but it's also surprisingly satisfying to drive every day.

Overview

The 2022 Ford Bronco rocks a nostalgia-inducing design along with both civil on-road driving manners and big-time trail-tackling ability. The sheer bandwidth of its capabilities is what makes Ford's off-roader such a hit. While the Jeep Wrangler has ruled the off-road world as the de facto SUV for people seeking a vehicle with bona fide trail-eating cred—even if they never plan to tackle a boulder-strewn two-track—the Bronco is similarly configurable with a convertible top, two- and four-door body styles, and removable doors. Inside, the durable materials and simple design recall the original, old-school Bronco, but the interior aesthetic looks cheap on upper trim levels. All Broncos have all-wheel drive and either a turbo-four or a twin-turbo V-6. Neither are very fuel-efficient or sound particularly pleasant, but they're quick and responsive. The optional Sasquatch and Everglades packages—beefier tires and other enhancements—help make the 2022 Bronco the ultimate off-road SUV and earn it a spot on both our 10Best and Editors' Choice lists.

What's New for 2022?

With its first model year in the books, the 2022 Bronco lineup grows with the addition of the Everglades model, which builds on an off-road-oriented Sasquatch package. Along with distinct visual clues–including an exclusive Desert Sand paint color–the Everglades adds a snorkel air intake, a Warn winch that can pull up to 10,000-pounds, and 17-inch rims on 35-inch tires. However, it's limited to the four-door body style and the 300-hp turbo-four powertrain. Sadly, the engine only pairs with the 10-speed automatic and not the seven-speed manual. Ford has also introduced a $2505 Hoss 3.0 package for the Wildtrak model, which adds sturdier Fox adaptive dampers and other chassis upgrades. However, it's currently only offered to reservation holders and unscheduled order holders. For the most extreme Bronco model, the newly introduced Raptor version (reviewed separately) has a 400-plus-hp twin-turbo V-6, a beefier suspension, and available 37-inch tires.

Pricing and Which One to Buy
Base: $32,395
Big Bend: $36,880
Black Diamond: $39,545
Badlands: $46,090

The base two-door Bronco starts at just under $30,000 but upgrading to upper trims gets expensive quickly. Our ideal configuration would be a four-door with the more powerful engine, and it needs to have the off-road hardware to live up to its roots. That points us towards the Bronco Wildtrack, which comes standard with 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels and huge 35-inch mud-terrain tires.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Sorry, folks. The Bronco doesn't come with eight cylinders. Instead, there's a standard 300-hp turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder or an optional 330-hp twin-turbo 2.7-liter V-6. A 10-speed automatic transmission bolts to both gas engines, but a seven-speed manual is only compatible with the smaller one. Unfortunately, neither engine has an enthusiastic soundtrack. Every Bronco sends power to all four wheels, and its independent front suspension is more sophisticated than Jeep's front stick axle. Other noteworthy options include 35-inch mud-terrain tires, beadlock-capable wheels, electronic locking front and rear differentials, and a sway-bar-disconnect feature. After our first driving impressions, the Bronco most impressed us with its on-road refinement. Not only is its steering more precise than the Wrangler's wheel, but the Ford simply handles better overall. Of course, equipped with the largest tires and softest suspension, there's significant brake dive, and its body-on-frame construction isn't kept secret. Still, the Bronco isn't a one-trick pony, and it's capable of conquering truly treacherous terrain. Both the two- and four-door models are also rated to tow 3500 pounds—same as the Wrangler.
