If you love adventurous driving, you'll love the agile and rugged capabilities of the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport. Below, we're highlighting five reasons you need to test drive this compact SUV and experience the thrill for yourself.

1. The Excellent 4x4 System

No matter which trim you choose, your Bronco Sport will come with a great 4x4 system that improves traction as you navigate rough terrain. The Badlands trim comes with an advanced 4x4 with a twin-clutch rear drive for added capabilities. This gives you more traction, and the ability to send propulsion to a single rear wheel. When the other wheels have no traction, the single wheel can help you get out of slippery off-roading conditions.

2. The Smooth Performance

You'll want to get behind the wheel of a Bronco Sport this year to experience the smooth everyday performance of the EcoBoost engine for yourself. The standard 1.5-liter engine is complemented by an eight-speed automatic transmission that is responsive and ready to go.

3. The G.O.A.T. Modes

Every Bronco Sport comes with five selectable driving modes, known as G.O.A.T. modes (goes over any type of terrain). This great system offers enhanced off-roading performance for Normal, Sport, Eco, Slippery, and Sand modes. The Badlands trim adds Rock Crawl and Mud/Ruts modes to this list, for exciting performance when you're on the trail.

4. The 180-Degree Camera With Split-View

This available feature adds to the experience when you're driving in Rock Crawl or Mud/Ruts mode in the Badlands trim. The camera will work as an up-close spotter, giving you a unique view of the trail so you can make more informed off-roading decisions.

5. The Colorful Exterior Options

The Bronco Sport comes in so many fun exterior colors and styles this year, and you'll definitely want to come to the dealership to see these for yourself in person. Ford has added two cool new colors to the lineup for 2024: Azure Gray and Desert Sand. These join the familiar options of Shadow Black, Cactus Gray, Hot Pepper Red, Atlas Blue, and Oxford White.

Additionally, different rims have different styling. The Heritage trim comes with a stylish Oxford White painted roof, while the Free Wheeling trim comes with a two-tone Black roof. The Free Wheeling trim is new for 2024, and also comes with body graphics inspired by vehicles from the 1970s. This trim also adds ombre stitching with a sunset weave cloth to the cloth seats.

Drivers looking for a sporty and small SUV they can take on big adventures really need to test drive the Bronco Sport this year. Visit Banister Ford of Marlow Heights in Suitland, MD now to see our selection of excellent new vehicles.

Routine Maintenance: The Key to Your Ford's Durability

As your Ford dealer, we have a wide range of services to keep your vehicle in great condition. We want to tell you more about some of the types of Ford maintenance we provide. Starter Repair The starter cranks your engine, and this craning action starts the combustion process. Once combustion begins, it continues until you switch your engine off. The starter is powered by a strong electrical charge provided by the battery when you hit the start button. A worn or damaged starter can make starting slower or prevent your engine from starting at all. A starter can wear out, but it's more common for a small component called the starter solenoid to fail. The solenoid receives the electrical charge from the battery and passes it to the starter. If the solenoid fails, the starter won't power up. We'll examine your starter and replace the solenoid if it's failed. If the starter is damaged, we'll repair or replace it. Rectifier Replacement The alternator is a very strong component with few internal pieces. It spins at high speed and produces electricity for all your car's systems. The spinning motion produces magnetic energy, which is captured by the stator and converted to AC. The AC is then converted by the rectifier to DC to supply your Ford's electricity needs. The rectifier can fail due to age, and this prevents the conversion of AC to DC. Without this conversion, your car's systems will draw DC power from the battery. This can quickly exhaust the battery's reserves, causing it to fail in less than 40 minutes on average. Replacing the rectifier is a quick process, and your alternator will produce usable electricity again. Brake Fluid Leak Brake fluid is vital for your braking system as it provides the hydraulic power that forces the braking system to engage and stop your Ford. The fluid operates in an airtight environment and is highly pressurized to provide the force needed to engage the brakes. The heat and pressure in the braking system, together with natural wear and tear, can cause a brake fluid leak. A brake fluid leak is difficult to detect, as the fluid is thin and looks like cooking oil. You'll feel the effects of a leak, as the brake pedal provides less resistance than it previously did. The loss of fluid will cause slower reactions from your brakes and increase your braking distance. Our technicians will find and seal the leak, then refill your brake fluid and you'll be able to brake safely again.
