2021 Bronco

I forgot about Fords new 3.0 diesel, would be another good option

Considering Ford botched the 1/2 ton diesel option in F150, maybe they offer it in Bronco as a mea culpa.

Sid,
Do you know when they are supposed to release more info? Everything I am finding says 2.3 EB but I imagine its all to get the clicks coming in....

It'll be shown in June.

I imagine it'll depend on how the diesel Wrangler sells. I wouldn't expect it anytime soon.

What do you mean botched? I havent been following the F150 diesel too much

Ford only offered the 3.0L Power Stroke V6 Turbo Diesel in the highest trim levels of the F150 at launch; Limited and Platinum . People who wanted the 3.0L PS in a more affordable truck couldnt get it. Its now offered in the XLT+ trim level. Its better but its slow roll out (like everything else Ford does these days) didnt do them favors.

Meanwhile at FCA, you can get the EcoDiesel in the lowest Trim level in both the Ram 1500 and now the Wrangler. I believe that will continue with the Gladiator later this year and Dakota when its relaunched.

It would be silly and unfortunate if Ford was willing to offer an EcoBoost, but not a high torque diesel in the Bronco.

Looks like rear control arms at 16 seconds and sure looks like a solid axle around the 40 second mark as well. All info to this point has suggested it will be a solid axle ifs setup.

i think you’re right, but the rear at 41 seconds was playing tricks on me lol. i see them earlier at 16s like you mentioned now. i was having a huge wtf moment.

It's the same basic suspension as the Ford Everest:
