If you're looking for a vehicle that's stylish and capable of going off-road, the Ford Bronco and Ford Bronco Sport are two excellent choices.
These sibling models are similar but have some key differences in engine power, space, and off-roading ability. While you can't go wrong with either automobile, Richmond Ford West wants to help our friends from Glen Allen, Ashland, and Rockville, VA, pick the one that's right for them.

Ford Bronco vs Ford Bronco Sport: Off-Roading Capabilities
When you're heading off-road, you'll be in good hands behind the wheel of the Ford Bronco or Bronco Sport. They both handle well but have a few differences.
The Ford Bronco Sport has standard 4x4 capability and a Terrain Management Systemâ„¢ with five G.O.A.T. Modesâ„¢ (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain). These modes are:
- Sand
- Slippery
- Sport
- Eco
- Normal
The Bronco Sport also has the option for available Ford Trail Controlâ„¢. This system acts like cruise control, maintaining the speed and throttle while you focus on steering. If you have the available 180-degree split-view camera, you can use that as a spotter to help boost visibility.
The Bronco has much of the traditional needs for off-roading. You get underbody protection with steel bash plates securing the engine and transmission.
You'll also get a standard High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension (HOSS) System, which helps you tackle uneven terrain. You can get an available rear locking differential, as well.
