The UK has finally got a taste of ‘Bronco Fever’, with the first examples of the retro-inspired Ford SUV arriving on British shores.
Such was the excitement for the new Bronco, Ford received more than 125,000 orders when the truck was launched. The demand has seen production quotas filled until 2023.
However, luxury vehicle dealer Clive Sutton has secured a ‘pipeline’ of models for British enthusiasts.
Built for the wilds of America
Built with serious off-road action in mind, the sixth-generation Ford Bronco comes with all-wheel drive as standard.
Buyers can pick from 2.3-l or 2.7-l turbocharged engines, with the choice of seven-speed manual or ten-speed automatic transmissions. All will come in left-hand-drive only.
Like any true 4×4, the Bronco has high and low ranges for its all-wheel-drive system. Front and rear electronically locking rear differentials are standard, too.
Ford offers multiple body and trim options for the Bronco, with the first examples secured by Clive Sutton in four-door form. Owners can remove the doors and replace the roof panels with a convertible soft-top.
Standing out from the SUV crowd
Clive Sutton states that UK buyers can secure a Ford Bronco for between £45,000 to £85,000 ($61,225 to $115,500). This will be dependent on specification, and how wild customers go with optional extras.
Included in this price is a two-year or 30,000-mile warranty, which Clive Sutton notes would not apply to Broncos imported privately.
Company founder Clive Sutton commented: “As soon as Ford announced the new Bronco 4×4 SUV, we had enquiries from customers far and wide. Alongside our core luxury and supercar services, we pride ourselves on being the first to bring the most desirable models to the UK from the US. The Bronco offers British buyers a way to stand out from the crowd in a vehicle that is as capable as it is distinctive.”
Earlier this year the Bronco won the North American Utility of the Year Award, while Ford recently released a 400hp Bronco Raptor.
