The legendary Ford Bronco is in its fourth year of production, since its reintroduction in the market. This classic SUV has been revamped for the modern age and the owner who loves to play as much as work, as it is designed for the trail. Let's take a closer look at its two lowest trims, the 2024 Ford Bronco Big Bend and the 2024 Ford Bronco Black Diamond.
What’s New for the 2024 Ford Bronco Big Bend?
The Bronco hasn’t changed much this year as compared to last. However, there are two major differences. Last year’s Base Bronco is nowhere in sight for ‘24. The line starts with the Big Bend, followed by the Black Diamond. Secondly, Big Bend owners no longer have the option of a 2.7-liter turbocharged V6.
On the plus side, no matter the Bronco trim, they all get a 12-inch center touchscreen.
The starting MSRPs for 2024 are:
- Big Bend: $39,630
- Black Diamond: $43,330
- Outer Banks: $47,190
- Heritage Edition: $48,555
- Badlands: $50,095
- Everglades: $55,720
- Wildtrak: $60,225
- Heritage Limited Edition: $69,685
- Raptor: $90,035
Is the 2024 Ford Bronco Big Bend Good For Off-Roading?
The Ford Bronco Big Bend is real beauty—it’s distinctive and striking with its Carbonized Gray17-inch alloy wheels and front grille. And it’s as elegant on the inside too, with its leather-wrapped steering wheel and gear shift knob.
But let’s talk off-roading turkey, which is what the Big Bend was made for. It’s Terrain Management System featuring six G.O.A.T. Modes— Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, Sand/Snow, and Mud/Ruts—so you’ll be prepared for nearly every terrain. The Big Bend’s 32-inch all-terrain tires only enhance the experience.
Is the 2024 Ford Bronco Black Diamond Good For Off-Roading?
The Black Diamond, of course, follows suit. Its strong 32-inch all-terrain tires offer the utmost in traction and durability when on the trail. To further enhance its off-road capabilities (and aesthetic) its powder-coated steel front bumper and back steel bar offer added protection, as its LED fog lamps lead the way.
If you’ve taken part on off-road excursions, you know your SUV can take a beating, particularly its undercarriage. To combat this, Ford has taken extra precaution for the Black Diamond with the addition of rock rails and bash plates. When it’s time to clean, the automaker makes everything a little easier with rubberized flooring and drain plugs. The stylish seats are made of durable marine-grade vinyl and can also easily be wiped down.
What Safety Features Are Seen From the 2024 Ford Bronco Big Bend?
With all this adventure ahead of you, you’ll be secure in knowing that the Ford Bronco has a history of top-tier safety ratings and you can add the 2024 model year to this prestigious list, thanks largely to the automaker's head air bag system, backup camera and automatic emergency braking with available adaptive cruise control.
