What is New For the 2024 Ford Bronco Big Bend?
You may be wondering what’s new with the Bronco for ‘24. This year, there are two major differences—the Base Bronco long gone, and the line now starts with the Big Bend, which no longer has the option of a 2.7-liter turbocharged V6. Aside from that, there’s only been one change and that’s in the center touchscreen, which is now 12 inches across all models.
The starting MSRPs for entire 2024 Ford Bronco line are:
- Big Bend: $39,630
- Black Diamond: $43,330
- Outer Banks: $47,190
- Heritage Edition: $48,555
- Badlands: $50,095
- Everglades: $55,720
- Wildtrak: $60,225
- Heritage Limited Edition: $69,685
- Raptor: $90,035
What Engine Is Found in the 2024 Ford Bronco Big Bend?
Both trims are outfitted with the same engine—a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine generating 275 horsepower and 315 lb-ft of torque on regular gas. With premium gas, there’s a bit more power available to you—300 horses and 325 lb-ft of torque. You also have the option of a 2.7-liter twin-turbo V-6 delivering 330 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. Both engines use EcoBoost technology.
The Bronco Was Made for Off-Roading
The Bronco was made for the road, even in its lower trims. Both feature Ford’s Terrain Management System with six G.O.A.T. Modes (Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, Sand/Snow, and Mud/Ruts) to prepare you for any terrain you may encounter. And the Big Bend’s 32-inch all-terrain tires get you over the trail safely.
The Black Diamond follows suit. It, too, features 32-inch all-terrain tires that offer the utmost in traction and durability. Its powder-coated steel front bumper and back steel bar offer even more protection, further enhancing its off-road capabilities. The trail can do some real damage to an SUV, particularly its undercarriage. Ford is quite aware of this possibility and is one step on the Black Diamond’s rock rails and bash plates for extra protection. And when you’re ready to head home, you can clean easily, thanks to its rubberized flooring and drain plugs and durable marine-grade seat vinyl.
Is the Ford Bronco Big Bend Safe?
Ford is known for making safety a priority and its Bronco models are no exception. The Bronco has a history of top-tier safety ratings, and you can add this year to that prestigious list, thanks largely to the auto giant’s head air bag system, backup camera and automatic emergency braking with available adaptive cruise control.
Is the 2024 Ford Bronco Big Bend Better than the Ford Bronco Black Diamond?
Whether you’re more of an off-roading adventurer or need a powerful, reliable SUV for everyday driving, the Big Bend and Black Diamond are extremely affordable options from the Bronco line.
