2024 Ford Bronco Raptor

Price Range: $90,035

Keith Buglewicz | Edmunds

The latest 2024 Ford Bronco takes advantage of its heritage without being overly retro or silly. This is a traditional SUV that has a lot going for it, including loads of potential off-road capability and a wide range of configurations. Poor fuel economy and excessive wind noise on the highway are its main drawbacks.Read full review

Overview

Written by automotive expert Nick Yekikian

8/26/2025

Now in its fourth year of production, the new Bronco is a truck-based SUV that's designed for off-roading. It's got four-wheel drive, plenty of ground clearance, and many available hardware add-ons to keep you moving over rough terrain. It even has a removable roof and doors, so you can drive topless for that extra bit of sunshine while you're on the street or tackling a trail.

Edmunds spotlight: What you don't get for 2024

The biggest change for 2024 isn't what's new, but what Ford has taken away from the Bronco. The Base Bronco is no longer available for purchase, which means the lineup now starts at the Big Bend trim level. Not only that, but the optional 2.7-liter turbocharged V6 is no longer available on the Big Bend, so those who want extra power will have to move to the Black Diamond or higher. Lastly, Outer Banks models can no longer be had with just two doors. But when Ford taketh away, Ford also giveth, and for 2024 every single Bronco will get a 12-inch center touchscreen.

Competitors to consider

We're impressed with the Bronco's strong off-road capability and consider it a great rival to the Jeep Wrangler and Toyota 4Runner. If you want something with a little more in the way of luxury, take a look at the Land Rover Defender. While just as capable as the Bronco, it offers a far more refined experience, albeit at a higher price. Read our test team's Expert Rating to learn more about the Bronco's biggest hits and misses.

What’s it like to live with?

Edmunds bought a 2021 Ford Bronco First Edition to find out what the Bronco ownership experience is really like. Check out our experiences with our Ford Bronco First Edition here. While there have been a few changes since 2021, most of our observations still apply to the 2024 Bronco.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

Driven, tested, rated by automotive expert Brent Romans

Good

7.9

out of 10

We drove the 2024 Ford Bronco on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.

Performance

7.5/10

How does the Bronco drive? Whether you stick with the turbo four-cylinder or opt for the turbo V6, the Bronco has sufficient and smooth power for daily driving with a quick-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission. The extra oomph from the V6 makes on-ramps and short merges easier and more fun, and the V6 Bronco reaches 60 mph from a standstill in 7.3 seconds, an average showing considering the big tires and four-door configuration.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the Bronco? While far from a luxury vehicle, the Bronco is more comfortable on the road than an equivalent Jeep Wrangler, its most direct competitor. The Bronco's seats feature better support and enough adjustments to reduce fatigue on long freeway drives. A truck-based construction means it has a bit firmer and bouncier ride than other SUVs, but it's not enough to make you want to drive it any less.

The dual-zone climate control allows you to adjust the intensity of the auto setting, and the available heated front seats work extremely fast, which is excellent if you've got the doors off on a cold day. The removable hardtop lets in a significant amount of wind noise at pretty much any speed, dragging down the Bronco's score in this category. There were also several rattles and vibrations during our off-road testing.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? Like other off-road vehicles, getting in and out of the Bronco can require a decent step up or down, but there are plenty of grab handles placed throughout the cabin to help. We'd prefer the front grab handles be placed on the windshield pillars instead of the dashboard, but they'll do in a pinch. Inside, the generous adjustment ranges for the driver's seat and steering wheel will ensure that all controls and gauges are within easy view. We appreciate the large and chunky physical controls — their size and placement make them easy to see and use when you're wearing gloves.

Lots of headroom makes the Bronco's interior feel large. This feeling continues in the rear seat, even in two-door models, but accessing those seats in the two-door Bronco can feel like a pinch because the front seats don't slide forward far enough.

Build & Price

Technology

8/10

How’s the tech? The Bronco offers a decent collection of advanced driver aids. The adjustable drive modes also make it pretty easy to optimize the SUV's traction depending on what kind of off-road surface you're driving on. Unfortunately, we found some of the driver aids, including the adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assistance, don't operate as smoothly as those on some rival SUVs.

Otherwise, the Bronco benefits from the latest Ford infotainment and connectivity software. The center display boasts clean graphics and easy integration with Android and Apple smartphones whether you want to use a cable or go wireless. The stereo in our test vehicle had trouble covering up road noise at freeway speeds.

Storage

7/10

How’s the storage? The Bronco's bigger size compared to the Wrangler translates into a larger interior with more cargo volume. The Bronco's rear swing gate opens to the passenger side and stays in place thanks to a strut. On hardtop models, the rear glass folds up easily, but the soft top doesn't open as far and needs a prop rod to stay up. Interior storage options are adequate, with an appropriate number of cupholders and nooks and crannies for personal items. Properly equipped, the Bronco can tow up to 3,500 pounds. That's enough for a small trailer but ultimately less than what the Wrangler and Toyota 4Runner can pull. All Broncos can be flat-towed (all four wheels on the ground).

Continue reading Edmunds Expert Rating below

Fuel Economy

6.5/10

How’s the fuel economy? Depending on the configuration and engine, the Ford Bronco gets an EPA-estimated 17 to 20 mpg in combined city/highway driving. Generally these figures are lower than those for comparable Jeep Wrangler models. Our test vehicle, a kitted-out four-door Bronco with the 2.7-liter V6 got an underwhelming 17 mpg in our real-world testing.

Value

7/10

Is the Bronco a good value? Some people might be disappointed with a few cheap-looking interior materials in the Bronco, especially in higher-end models, but others may see the benefit to long-term durability when the interior is exposed to the elements. The Bronco delivers off-road hardware more broadly through its pricing spectrum than the Jeep Wrangler, providing greater access for shoppers at different price points. Warranty and ownership perks are about average.

Wildcard

10/10

The Bronco offers praiseworthy capability and character in equal measure. Its rugged design looks cool without trying too hard. As with the Wrangler, removing the Bronco's roof and doors makes for a highly enjoyable driving experience, but the Bronco has more on-road appeal with its superior ride and handling.

The off-road driver aids are helpful not just for rookies, and tools such as the Trail Turn Assist add genuine fun even for seasoned off-roaders. And if getting a manual transmission wasn't a bragging right already, the Bronco does one better by giving you a super high-ratio crawler gear.

2024 Ford Bronco trim level differences

The 2024 Ford Bronco is a four-wheel-drive SUV available in nine primary trim levels. In order of price, they are: Big Bend, Black Diamond, Heritage Edition, Outer Banks, Badlands, Wildtrak, Heritage Edition Limited, Everglades and Raptor. All Broncos can be kitted out with a long list of options, ranging from appearance and personalization options to different roofs to off-road hardware, wheels and other accessories. Keep reading for what you need to know about the Bronco's most significant standard and optional features.

Which Bronco trim does Edmunds recommend?

We suggest going for the Big Bend trim. It offers the quintessential Bronco experience at an attainable starting price. When equipped with the nifty Mid and Sasquatch packages, which include major comfort and off-road features, respectively, the Bronco becomes one of the most well-rounded off-roaders on sale.
