The biggest advantage of the 2021 Ford F-150 is that it can manage much loftier trailer weights than the new Bronco SUV. If you can’t see yourself making use of that massive weight capacity, the 2021 Ford Bronco poses some off-road advantages that might make it worth your consideration.
The 2021 Ford Bronco shares a platform with the smaller Ford Ranger truck, making for a shorter wheelbase but overall better off-road geometry. Bronco four-doors boast approach, departure, and breakover angles of 43.2, 37.0, and 26.3 degrees, respectively. In that same order, the Ford F-150 measures in on the protractor at 27.6 , 24.3, and 21.2 degrees. Top that with a standard Intelligent 4x4 system and an onslaught of standard off-road-specialized goodies, and the 2021 Ford Bronco makes an excellent case for itself in the eyes of any avid adventurer.
