2022 Ford Bronco

 The Ford Bronco has returned in all its old glory with modern technology and hit's it out of the park with the added toughness and versatility.  It has the total package for those who love to take their vehicle off the beaten path and still be a daily driver. 



When you visit the 2022 Bronco with the friendly folks at Hixson Ford of Leesville located at 11981 Lake Charles Highway in Leesville, Louisiana or by calling the dealership at 337.239.3434 the first thing that will impress you and yours is its bold appearance that really shows off the Bronco's retro exterior. 

This new 2022 Ford Bronco stays true to the old styling with flat no-nonsense surfaces, clear-cut edges, square proportions and the wide assertive stance enhanced by its flared fenders.  Nobody will mistake the new Bronco for another four-wheeler with the huge “BRONCO” stamped into the grille. 

This feisty Bronco can handle just about any obstacles in the outback with the best in class ground clearance. Optional 33-inch tires and a slew of factory-backed aftermarket accessories. To add to the fun, the Bronco can go topless and without doors.  The other plus is that it is so affordable.  Probably one of the differences from the previous model is the Bronco can now be had with two or four doors.



The two-door has a removable three-section roof while the four-door Bronco has had a four-section roof.  A cloth roof is standard on the four-door and a hardtop is available for both and the frameless doors can be removed and stored inside with the side mirrors still attached to the frame.  How cool is that?  Another cool thing is that the trail lights on the fenders also work as tie-downs for your stuff on the roof such as a Kayak. 

Inside the rugged theme continues with lots of modern tech with the multifunction LCD instrument panel with clear and concise gauges.  Pluses continue with what lives under the Ford Bronco's masculine flat hood. The standard engine is an energetic I4 four cylinder turbo that kicks out 300 ponies and 325 lb-ft of “get-up and go” torque. 

If you desire more grunt and power then you can opt for the 2.7-liter turbocharged V6 that punches out 330 aggressive horses and an amazing 415 lb-ft of asphalt/dirt grabbing torque.  The I4 comes with a seven-speed manual that is quick to throw and has crawler gear which greatly helps in the tougher areas. 

Then for those who prefer not to exercise the left leg and right arm, the 10 speed automatic is available.  The automatic is the only gearbox for the V6.  Yes indeed, the 2022 Ford Bronco checks all the boxes from being a first-class off-roader to getting groceries or going to work. 

No better time than now to find out how the Bronco can bring back that “fun factor” in your drive times.

2021 Ford Bronco

Better watch out Wrangler as a Bronco is about to kick some dirt into to your grille.  Yes indeed, after 25 years of absence, the new 2021 Ford Bronco is back on the scene with a vengeance and so ready to take on the main competition in the “off-road” arena.  This new updated Bronco is a hit already with more than 125,000 orders waiting to be sent to its lucky owners. 

If you are somewhat interested, you need to hurry on down to see the friendly folks at Hixson Ford of Leesville located at 11981 Lake Charles Highway in Leesville, Louisiana, or by calling the dealership at 337.239.3434 and just see if this new and exciting machine meets your expectations.  The bet is on that the Bronco will.

You and yours will discover that the new Bronco from Ford comes with either 2 doors or four.  The first-ever four-door has a standard soft top, but buyers can spec a rigid roof.  The two-door Bronco comes only with a hardtop.  Either way, the tops, doors, fender flares, and even the fenders are a snap to remove to make it look like the “beast” it plans to be.

The Bronco's frameless doors shrink the size and allow them to be stored in the cargo area.  Another thing that will grab your attention is its bold and aggressive styling showing off the Bronco's retro exterior with the flat no-nonsense surfaces, clear-cut edges, wide and assertive stance with, especially large tires. A head jerker for sure. 

Powering the Ford Bronco off and on the beaten path is the standard feisty 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder that kicks out 270 ponies and 310 lb-ft of “get-up and go” torque that has the power to surprise. If you desire more power, then also test drive the optional 2.7-liter turbocharged V6 that releases 310 anxious horses and an amazing 400 lb-ft of asphalt/dirt grabbing torque.  Both are paired with a smooth-shifting 10 speed automatic and a seven-speed manual can be had with the Bronco four-banger for those who rather throw their own gears. 



Another plus is that the 2021 Ford Bronco comes with an affordable base price that makes it so desirable and assessable to many buyers who want to explore off the beaten path and also at the same time have a suitable daily driver.  It really can tackle just about any off-road adventure with its 11.6-inch ground clearance, optional 35-inch tires, and a slew of factory-backed aftermarket accessories.

Inside the Bronco's cabin, the rugged theme continues adding modern high tech.  Seats are comfy, yet sturdy and will hold you in place as you roll over rough ground.  The 2021 Bronco represents a new and fresh beginning of off-roading for the Ford Motor Company and also the public.  No time like the present to find out why the Bronco is so popular.  You will not be disappointed.
