Exploring the Top Safety Features of the 2024 Ford Bronco
Rugged Safety: The 2024 Ford Bronco
The 2024 Ford Bronco combines rugged off-road capability with advanced safety technology, making it a standout choice for adventure-seekers who prioritize protection. This iconic SUV, revived in 2021 after a 25-year hiatus, continues evolving with cutting-edge safety features designed to keep occupants secure on and off the beaten path.
Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems
The 2024 Bronco comes equipped with Ford's Co-Pilot360 technology, a driver-assistance feature suite that enhances safety across various driving scenarios. Available features include:
- Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking: This system uses sensors to detect potential frontal collisions with vehicles or pedestrians, alerting the driver and applying brakes if necessary.
- Lane-Keeping System: Helps prevent unintentional drifting by gently steering the vehicle back into its lane when it detects unintended lane departure.
- Blind Spot Information System with Cross-Traffic Alert: Monitors blind spots and warns of approaching vehicles when changing lanes or backing out of parking spaces.
- Adaptive Cruise Control: Maintains a set speed and distance from the vehicle ahead, automatically adjusting to traffic flow.
- Evasive Steering Assist: Provides additional steering support during emergency maneuvers to help avoid collisions.
Off-Road Safety Enhancements
Recognizing the Bronco's appeal to off-road enthusiasts, Ford has implemented several available features specifically designed for rugged terrain.
Ford Trail Control™
This off-road cruise control system manages throttle and braking on challenging surfaces, allowing drivers to focus on steering in low-speed scenarios.
Trail Turn Assist
Trail turn assist reduces the vehicle's turning radius on tight trails by applying brakes to the inside rear wheel, enhancing maneuverability in confined spaces.
Trail 1-Pedal Drive
This system automates acceleration and braking in off-road conditions by using brakes when lifting your foot and releasing them when you press down on the pedal.
Steel Bash Plate Protection
These protect vital undercarriage components, including shields for the fuel tank, engine, transmission, and transfer case.
Electronic Front-and Rear-Locking Differentials
The rear Dana 44™ AdvanTEK® M220 and front Dana™ AdvanTEK® M210 locking differentials work together, and when activated, each wheel rotates at the same speed and torque.
Front Stabilizer Bar Disconnect
This class-exclusive feature can disconnect, regardless of articulation. The bar reconnects automatically at speeds over 20 and 40 miles per hour.
Intelligent Traction and Stability Systems
The Bronco incorporates available advanced traction and stability control systems to enhance safety in various driving conditions:
- AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control: Automatically monitors vehicle motion, applies brakes, and modulates engine power to help maintain control.
- Trailer Sway Control: Works in conjunction with AdvanceTrac to detect trailer sway and selectively apply brakes to bring the trailer under control.
- Terrain Management System with G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) modes: Offers multiple drive modes—Eco, Sport, Normal, Slippery, Sand/Snow—tailored to different surfaces, optimizing vehicle performance and enhancing safety across various terrains.
Visibility and Lighting Innovations
Enhanced visibility is crucial for safety, especially in off-road situations. The 2024 Bronco addresses this with several standard and optional features, including:
- LED lighting: Signature LED lighting and fog lamps provide superior illumination and visibility.
- Auto High-Beam Headlamps: Automatically switches between high and low beams when it detects oncoming vehicles.
- Rain-sensing wipers: Activate automatically when moisture is detected on the windshield, ensuring clear visibility in inclement weather.
