2021 Bronco HOSS Suspension Overview: Baja Technology For The Masses
The 2021 Bronco is Ford?s most highly-anticipated rendition of its iconic off-road nameplate. Bronco is available in two-door and four-door body styles and as a crossover ? the Bronco Sport ? based on Ford?s C2 platform for the Escape and Focus. No matter which model you choose, each one will come with the Bronco HOSS suspension or High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension, a cacophony of nifty upgrades to cement the Bronco’s reputation as the ultimate Built Wild SUV.
?We listened to what off-road enthusiasts wanted in terms of capability and control ? and heard a lot about what could be improved in the current off-road SUV offerings ? namely harsh ride, sloppy steering, and discomfort above crawling speeds,? said Mark Grueber, Bronco consumer marketing manager. ?Our answer was to design a lighter, more agile suspension system tuned to deliver more confident off-road capabilities without having to trade comfort and control.?
Like Surefooted Horses
Ford claims the Bronco delivers high-speed off-road capability and confidence akin to wild horses running in the desert. The surefooted nature of Bronco SUVs over rugged and inhospitable terrain has a lot to do with Ford?s Baja-inspired HOSS suspension. Based on the Ranger?s T6 underpinnings, Bronco has an independent front suspension with forged twin aluminum alloy A-arms with long-travel coil springs, HOSS-tuned shock absorbers, and a stabilizer bar adopted from the F-150 Raptor.
