About the Ford Bronco
A fun 4x4 built for off-road adventure. The roof and doors come off. It rides rougher and uses more gas than a normal SUV.
Fun but rougher and louder than a regular SUV, especially with the top off. Uses more gas than most SUVs.
Tip: Lots of trims and packages. Pick only the off-road gear you will really use.
