Ford Bronco Service Brewster, NY
Adventure seekers get a thrill out of driving the Ford Bronco midsize SUV. Ford equips this fun-to-drive SUV with three engine options, four-wheel drive, and a suspension system that can take you over rugged terrain. Whether going on fun backcountry adventures or driving down the freeway, keeping your Bronco serviced at Brewster Ford in Brewster, New York, is key to staying safely on the road.
About the Ford Bronco
The Ford Bronco SUV offers removable doors, either two or four, a removable top, and plenty of equipment to tackle the most challenging terrain. You have eight Bronco trims to choose from, and they all come standard with four-wheel drive, a beefy terrain management system, and protective skid plates to help keep the door panels and body from getting dented. Depending on the trim, the three engine options include the following:
- A 2.3-liter four-cylinder turbocharged engine that produces 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque with premium gasoline.
- A 2.7-liter turbocharged EcoBoost V-6 engine that delivers 330 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque with premium gasoline.
- A 3.0-liter V-6 engine that produces 418 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque, exclusive with the Raptor trim.
Depending on the engine option, you can get the Bronco with an interactive seven-speed manual transmission or a smooth-shifting 10-speed automatic transmission. When you choose the available Sasquatch Package, you get electronic-locking front and rear axles for better control on rough terrain.
Service Issues for Older Ford Broncos
Ford introduced the first Bronco SUV in 1966 and discontinued production in 1996. However, in 2021, we saw a new and modern generation of this beloved off-road SUV. During the early years of the current sixth-generation Bronco, it experienced some issues that required specialized attention.
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the 2021 and 2022 Broncos had trouble with the 2.7-liter turbocharged EcoBoost engine’s faulty valve train. The valve train is an essential component of a fuel-based engine, and a faulty one can reduce performance and fuel economy while increasing emissions. In addition, a defective valve train can cause the engine to seize up.
Other problems the NHTSA uncovered included premature wear of the camshaft lobe, which affects the performance of the valves, faulty lifters that help to open and close the valves, and irregular valve timing, which can cause the engine to misfire. As of late 2023, the NHTSA hasn’t issued a recall of the 2021 or 2022 Ford Bronco as the case is still under investigation.
Fortunately, Ford managed to smooth out these issues on the 2023 and 2024 Bronco models, and it appears these issues are resolved or being resolved. If you have a 2021 or 2022 Bronco, consider bringing it to us at Brewster Ford so we can inspect the vital engine components that may be affected before you have problems while driving down the highway or over rough off-road terrain.
Benefits of Regular Service for Your Ford Bronco
With several powerful engines, off-road-oriented suspension systems, and standard four-wheel drive, you need to bring your Bronco to a dealership with service technicians trained in servicing and repairing off-road parts.
Our service team at Brewster Ford has intimate knowledge of all Ford vehicles, including the mighty Bronco. In addition, off-road adventurers often drive this capable SUV over obstacles and through mud, ruts, sand, snow, and water. These natural elements can cause damage not experienced by urban drivers. Ford Bronco owners should take extra precautions and have specialized servicing to keep their Broncos performing, especially when driving deep in the backcountry.
Bringing your Bronco to our dealership is essential for regular maintenance, but you should also consider inspections and repairs before embarking on an off-road adventure. Preventive maintenance and service can help you drive safely over rugged terrain and reduce the chances of getting stuck or breaking down in the woods, desert, or sand.
Ford’s Recommended Maintenance Schedule
As previously mentioned, if you own a 2021 or 2022 Bronco, bring it to our service center for inspection and repairs if needed. Regardless of the year, always bring your Bronco in for general maintenance before a road trip or adventure.
According to Kelley Blue Book, Ford recommends the following regular maintenance schedule for the Bronco:
- At 10,000 Miles
- At 20,000 Miles
- At 30,000 Miles
- At 40,000 Miles
- Over 100,000 Miles
Our service technicians will change the oil and oil filter at this mile marker for your Bronco. In addition, the Bronco will get a multipoint inspection, which includes checking the fluid levels, belts and hoses, and brakes. While you should bring your Bronco in for this general maintenance every 10,000 miles, if you frequently drive off-road in dusty conditions or tow with your Bronco, consider having an oil change and inspection every 5,000 or 7,500 miles.
When your Bronco hits 20,000 miles, you’ll have the same regular maintenance as well as having the cabin filter changed, brake rotors and shoes inspected, nonsealed linkage parts looked at, and the rear axle lubricant inspected and replaced as needed.
At 30,000 miles, our service technicians will replace the engine air filter and inspect the cooling and exhaust system, the drive shaft, and universal joints.
As your Bronco puts on more miles, our technicians will thoroughly inspect all the major engine, transmission, and suspension systems, as well as replace the cabin filter once again.
Even though you’ve had general maintenance for your Bronco every 10,000 miles, once it reaches over 100,000 miles, it should have oil changes every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, thorough inspections of all components, and parts replaced with original equipment manufacturer parts.
