The 2021 Ford Bronco will soon start reaching the hands of customers and while it has taken a little longer to launch than initially expected, those who have ordered a new Bronco will be pleased to know it will arrive with more power than originally expected.
When Ford first unveiled the new-age
Bronco, it revealed that the entry-level turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost
four-cylinder was good for 270 hp and 420 Nm of torque, both very
respectable figures. Ford also offers the 2021 Bronco with a turbocharged
2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 that was rated at 310 hp and 542 Nm. As it
turns out, these figures were rather conservative, Bronco6g reports.
A booklet recently published by Ford
detailing all of the technical specifications of the new Bronco states that the
2.3-liter model is actually rated at 300 hp and 440 Mm with premium
fuel or 275 hp and 427 Nm with regular fuel. By comparison, the
2.7-liter V6 actually has 330 hp on premium fuel and 562 Nm,
figures that reduce to 315 hp and 555 Nm with regular fuel. Hearing
of these boosts in horsepower and torque will no doubt be music to the ears of
Ford Bronco customers and make it a little easier to deal with the production
delays.
Late last week, it was revealed that the
ongoing semiconductor shortage has prompted Ford to idle production at its
Michigan Assembly site where the Bronco is produced during the weeks of May 17
and May 24.
