After a long hiatus, the Ford Bronco is making a comeback! However, the 2021 Ford Bronco is different than the old model. Its boxy frame and round headlights resemble that of the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon. Clewiston drivers who enjoy driving up mountainsides, fording streams, and crawling through canyons will appreciate the Bronco's off-road skills. Like the Wrangler, the new Bronco will also be available in two-door and four-door models and have a removable top. Although the Ford Bronco and the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon have many similarities, there are some key differences between them that you should know. Keep reading to see why we at LaBelle Ford think the Bronco is a better SUV for people in Fort Myers, FL.
