The Ranger easily tackles rough terrain, thanks to available 4WD, selectable drive modes, and an optional Tremor off-road package.

Regarding pickup trucks, Ford’s F-Series is among the most reliable and durable options available. The F-250’s state-of-the-art technology, high-end features, and sophisticated engine design let it contend with its rivals regarding towing capacity.

The powerful 6.7L V8 Power Stroke engine can easily pull heavy loads, thanks to its 475 horsepower and 1,050 pound-feet of torque. The maximum towing capability is 21,200 pounds and 4,260 lbs of payload capacity.

2024 Ford Bronco Sport

Via Ford

Specifications

MSRP: $31,000 USD / $35,900 CAD

Drivetrain: 4WD
0-60 mph: 8.9 seconds
Fuel Economy: 26 MPG combined / 8.6L/100km combined
Basic Warranty: 3 years / 36,000 miles

Our Take

The 2024 Bronco Sport roars onto the scene with rugged looks and off-road cred. The turbocharged engine packs a punch, and the available terrain modes handle light trails with aplomb.

The cargo space impresses for its size, while the cabin boasts quirky charm. However, plastics abound, rear seats are tight, and fuel economy isn’t stellar. Also, the hefty price tag might leave you wondering if the “Bronco” badge justifies the cost.
