WIth many new updates on paint and packages the Bronco Sport for the 2024 year will be quite the contender. If you are looking for a classy and robust SUV this will be the one for you. In this in-depth preview we will look at the new updates coming to the Ford Bronco Sport.
Key Takeaways:
- Ford has ensured that the Ford Bronco Sport would not be left behind when they designed it to tow as well. With the towing capacity you will be able to take along whichever trailers, campers, or gear that you may need for your adventures.
- There is a new trim level which has an updated look to it. Along with this new paint there are a couple new packages that can be added onto some trim levels to make them truly off road worthy.
- The technology that couples with this compact SUV will keep you truly connected whether you are in the city or on the backroads. Between camera and GPS there will be plenty of technology to keep you and your crew going.
Engines, Drivetrains, and Towing Capacity:
Two engine options are available for this compact SUV, with both of them delivering a good amount of power and torque. Both of these engines will be mated to an eight speed manual transmission. If that wasn’t good enough all of the models in the 2024 Ford Bronco Lineup will come with standard all wheel drive.
Engine Options:
- 1.5 liter 3 cylinder engine (181 horsepower, 190 pounds of torque)
- 2.0 liter turbocharged 4 cylinder engine (245 horsepower, 277 pounds of torque)
In regards to towing capacity the larger 2.0 liter turbocharged engine will give the best results. When properly equipped with this engine and the available towing packages you will be able to tow up to 2200 pounds. This may not seem like a lot, however, for a compact SUV it is a good amount of towing capacity. The smaller engine can tow up to 2000 pounds, putting it pretty close to the larger engine's capacity as well.
Updated Trims and New Packages:
One of the biggest announcements that Ford has made in regards to the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport is that there will be a throwback trim level.

This trim level will have a starting price of $33,000, which is an increase of about $2,000 from the previous year's base level price.
There is also an off road specific package marketed as the Black Diamond Offroad Package. This package features some of the premium offroading components that we have seen from the years past.
