Astounding Performance Along with standard four-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic transmission, you can choose between two engines, a 181-horsepower 1.5-liter and a 2.0-liter with 249 horses. These two engines allow you to tow between 2,000 and 2,200 pounds, respectively. more Four trim levels are available, Big Bend, Outer Banks, Badlands, and a Base model, and all come with both an optimized off-road suspension setup and a terrain management system, so every single model is rugged and ready for trails. A Tech-Savvy Interior With a capacity to seat up to five passengers, this is one SUV that's ready for group outings. Folding the second-row seating down expands the vehicle's cargo space to 65.2 cubic feet, so camping gear, groceries, or even a pair of bicycles can be accommodated. For entertainment, there's SYNC 3, an infotainment solution that you can control with voice command to do everything from making phone calls to accessing satellite radio music and podcasts. A wireless charging pad, a 10-speaker audio system, and a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot are all available as well. Resilient on the Outside With a modern appearance, distinctive, round LED lighting, and a bold-looking front grille, you can't have an SUV as beautiful as this one riding around on trails without some exterior protection. That's why you'll find wheel arch molding and rocker panels beneath the vehicle, which help protect it from debris that can kick up when driving over rocky surfaces. When opening the hatch at night or in the early morning hours, you'll find rear floodlights illuminating the area. This can help keep you safe, as well as help you find lost items in the dark. The Badlands model, the most rugged among the four trims, offers 8.8 inches of ground clearance, so you'll have no problem maneuvering your way over rocky terrains. Predictive Safety Monitoring Keeping you safe in unpredictable scenarios is Ford's Co-Pilot360 suite, which includes standard features, such as a Lane-Keeping System, Pre-Collision Assist, Auto High-Beam Headlamps, and the Blind Spot Information System. All of these systems utilize the latest radar technology to self-activate and monitor conditions while warning you when there are dangers present. Also available is the Evasive Steering Assist feature, which can make a split-second decision to maneuver around an obstacle if it's deemed necessary. As an agile, unique variant of the Bronco, the 2022 Sport model has been a hit with drivers because of its versatility on trails, strong performance, and stunning, hi-tech entertainment and safety options. Come see this one-of-a-kind Ford SUV today at Hunt Ford in Franklin, and we'll be here to show you its many other standout features.
