Have you ever seen a phoenix? What about two? This year the Ford Bronco SUV joins the recently revived Ford Ranger on the list of classics to be risen from the ashes. The all-new Ford Bronco SUV rides on a modified version of the same platform used to create the Ford Ranger midsize truck, but the similarities pretty much end there.
This comparison from the team at Akins Ford outlines some major differences that buyers shopping between the 2021 Ford Bronco and 2021 Ford Ranger will want to consider.

2021 Ford Ranger |
---|---|---|
$26,820 (2 Door), $33,200 (4 door)Â | Starting MSRP | $24,820 |

8.3 - 11.6 inches | Ground Clearance | 8.4 inches |
Up to 3,500 lbs. | Towing Capacity | Up to 7,500 lbs. |
Choosing between the 2021 Ford Bronco and the 2021 Ford Ranger is about defining your needs as a driver. In a nutshell, the Ford Ranger is geared more towards payload and towing capability with class-leading figures that blow away the rest of the midsize truck segment. If that sort of capability is a necessity, the Ranger is a no-brainer of a choice.
The Ford Bronco, on the other hand, is an all-out off-road-specialized SUV. The new Bronco boasts a higher available ground clearance, up to 33.5 inches of water fording, a removable roof and doors, and more standard off-road features like the Advanced 4WD with Terrain Management Systemâ„¢, Trail Controlâ„¢, Trail Turn Assist, Trail One-Pedal, and Electronic Traction Control. The 2021 Bronco has approach, departure, and breakover angles of 43.2, 37.0, and 26.3 degrees, respectively.
