The 2021 Ford Bronco has been spotted on multiple occasions, but this time, we get to see it in action. The Bronco Nation uploaded a video of the two-door and four-door Broncos having some fun in the Georgia mud. The short clip features three Broncos in their camouflaged avatars, showing off their off-roading prowess. The video is more than a blurred leak or a spy shot and gives a good idea of how the Bronco would do in its natural habitat.
This Is Pure Bliss
The Bronco Nation managed to get its hands on a 46-second hi-res clip that shows the engineers testing the Bronco in the wet Georgia mud.
In the video, you can spot three Broncos, with their skin on, traversing through the forest area.
As pointed out by a member on Bronco6g.com, this is perhaps due to a feature that’s similar to Toyota’s Turn Assist Control that is present on the Land Cruiser. If you go through the posts on that thread, you’ll see that a user has already spotted the button for this feature in the SUV. It looks like Ford wants to cover all the bases and not leave people yearning for anything in the Bronco.
2021 Ford Bronco Updates
We recently learned that the F-150’s production was pushed by a couple of weeks, and now Ford has delayed the Bronco’s production as well. There is no word on how long the delay would be, but Bloomberg reports a delay of at least two months. The delay is concerning the new launches only – the upcoming F-150, the Bronco, and the Mach-E. Ford opened the factories in the U.S. on May 18, but had to shut two of them down as employees tested positive for COVID-19. If this continues for long, the new launches could further get delayed as Ford will look to focus (pun unintended) on manufacturing current products to bounce back from an estimated $5 billion operating loss this quarter.
This, however, is not the case with the Bronco Sport.

Final Thoughts
The Bronco looks completely at home in the wild. Even with the camo on, the Bronco’s shape, size, and dimensions were easy to decipher and give the enthusiasts an idea of how it will be to take this beauty for off-roading. The Bronco needs to come with features that will make it stand out from the crowd and boast of stuff that even the Jeep Wrangler doesn’t have. So far, we’ve heard about things like G.O.A.T, a suspension system with 24 settings, different tires sizes on offer, one gear specifically for rock crawling in the manual transmission, and so on. All these things make the Bronco a drool-worthy offering, and it’ll be interesting to see what all will be offered with the SUV.
