The legendary 1970s Ford Bronco made its way back onto Ford’s showroom floor back in 2021, and it is more popular than ever before the third year of production. Let’s dig into the details of one of its lower-end trims of this SUV, the Outer Banks to see how it can meet your needs.
Key Takeaways:
- The Ford Bronco Outer Banks has a starting MSRP of $47,940—quite reasonable for one of the most popular SUVs on the road.
- If you want to customize your Bronco, you may have to wait up to six months to get it. The sooner you put in your order, the better.
- The Outer Banks is much like the Big Bend, however there are amenities like a 12-inch infotainment touchscreen system that the Big Bend does not have.
What Features Are Seen From the 2024 Ford Bronco Outer Banks?
The 2024 Ford Bronco Outer Banks has an MSRP of about $47,940 MSRP, which is a very affordable price for such a powerful SUV. This trim is outfitted with a 300 horsepower turbo 2.3 liter four cylinder engine, mated to a seven speed manual transmission. A ten-speed automatic transmission is an optional upgrade. A 330 horsepower twin turbo 2.7 liter V6 engine is also available as an option to give you even more off-roading prowess.
When it's not on rough terrain, the Bronco makes for a smooth ride, which is unusual for a vehicle designed for off-roading, as they can be uncomfortable on pavement. The Outer Banks has a seven mode terrain management system that can tackle any terrain you attempt.
Its 32 inch tires ensure that you can handle any variety of obstacles in comfort and safety.
Is There a Wait Time When Purchasing a Custom Built Ford Bronco Outer Banks?
If you want a customized 2024 Outer Banks, be prepared to wait—there's a four to six month build range; however, there have been some reports of buyers getting their custom Bronco in less time. The timeline depends on how many orders Ford has, when you order it, and the automaker's current production rate.
How Does the Outer Banks Differ from the Bronco Big Bend?
The lower Bronco trims, the Big Bend and Outer Banks, are nearly the same, but do get a little more bang for your buck with the latter. The Big Bend is priced much lower, $39,130—that’s nearly $9,000 less than the Outer Banks, but comes with more features that expand its comfort and capability.
The Big Bend does have a few off-roading features—the terrain management system and all terrain tires are certainly included here. But the Outer Banks ups the ante with a 12-inch infotainment touchscreen system to make connectivity and entertainment that much more accessible to every occupant, as well as:
- Powder coated tubes
- A dual climate control system
- A leather-wrapped steering wheel
- Push-button start
- Remote start
- Heated front seats
