Ford Bronco 4x4 Update: Engine, Transmission, Paint Options, And More

With so much speculation swirling about the soon-to-be-released Ford (F) Bronco, here is everything we know so far about the 4x4 SUV.

For those buyers that are looking to deck out their Bronco from head-to-toe, Ford is offering an array of accessory options that will rival its Jeep competitor. There is said to be over 150 accessories options to choose from that will not only help owners customize their ride, but are expected to generate additional revenue for Ford.

Also, revealed is the paint options for the Bronco’s livery. According to Automotive Touch Up, the 2021 Ford Bronco 4x4 will be available in 10 paint colors, which include Antimatter Blue Metallic, Cyber Orange Pearl, Fighter Jet Gray, Carbonized Gray Metallic, Oxford White, Race Red, Lucid Red Pearl, Area 51, Absolute Black, and Iconic Silver Metallic.

It has also been revealed that the Bronco will come with what is called a 5.6.7MTI550 manual transmission, according to a leak on Reddit. The transmission will reportedly be offered in rear- or all-wheel drive and could be configured to five, six, or seven speeds with a low crawler mode available for off-road driving.

If the Bronco is equipped with the seven-speed drivetrain, it is thought that two engine options will be offered – a turbocharged 2.3-liter inline four-cylinder option or a two-turbo 2.7-liter V6 powertrain, Car and Driver reported. In either configuration, there is expected to be plenty of power to give the SUV some serious performance on- and off-highway capabilities.

Ford has remained quiet on the details of the Bronco, only teasing that it is coming. The automaker is expected to launch a smaller Sport version of the 4x4 as well as the full-size Bronco, which will reportedly debut later this month.

Shares of Ford stock were down 2.15% as of 3:30 p.m. EST on Tuesday.
