5 Famous Film Ford Broncos
The Ford Bronco has been an icon of American vehicles since its first model year in 1965. Though it took a hiatus in the mid-'90s, the Bronco is back, dressed to impress a new generation. Below are a few of the most famous films that feature a Ford Bronco. more Rampage "Rampage" is a movie starring Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, who whips around in a prototype Ford Bronco. When the movie came out, the 2021 Ford Bronco hadn't been revealed yet, so Ford gave the production a concept version of the Bronco. This movie was released in 2018, three whole years away from the new generation of Ford Broncos. Luckily, Ford had the 2004 concept handy. Originally, the movie was going to feature a Jeep Wrangler, but Johnson, who is a big fan of Ford models, requested they switch to the Bronco. Though you will likely not be able to take a spin in this model, you can get pretty close to it by jumping behind the wheel of the 2021 Bronco. No Country for Old Men The thriller "No Country for Old Men" features a 1979 Ford Bronco. A fun fact about this Bronco is that it's technically a mistake in the movie's timeline. The movie is set in 1980, so the 1979 model year makes sense. What doesn't make sense is that the Bronco featured in the movie sports a grille with the blue Ford oval, which wasn't made available until 1982. At some point in the last few decades, someone switched the original grille out. Either way, it's a good-looking truck. Terminator 2 You can see a tough-looking 1982 Ford Bronco with Arnold Schwarzenegger behind the wheel in the sequel to "Terminator." With its massive wheels and old-school light bar upgrade, this Bronco looks like the only thing tough enough to be an appropriate ride for the Terminator. Speed "Speed" is another top-notch '90s classic that features an even older Bronco. Keanu Reeves — before he finds himself stuff on a bus that will explode if it stops — is driving a beautifully maintained gray 1970 Ford Bronco. With its dual rooftop lights and iconic round headlamps, this Bronco looks almost as good as Reeves and his costar Sandra Bullock. Charlie's Angels Surprisingly, the only one of these movies that feature the Bronco doing what it's supposed to do — kick up some serious dust off the pavement — is "Charlie's Angels." The 1970 Bronco in this movie gets a lot of screen time. The blue Bronco with the top removed gets to take on some jumps, take on the trails, and even has Bill Murray behind the wheel. Jump in a new 2021 Ford Bronco or Bronco Sport to discover why this SUV model has maintained its place in the American psyche. Once you experience the Bronco for yourself, you'll see why it's such a big deal that it's back. Visit our dealership today to schedule your test drive of the wild new 2021 Ford Bronco.
4 Truly Impressive Features of the 2021 Ford F-150
If you want a pickup that's full-size but not as heavy-duty as other models, the 2021 Ford F-150 is one to consider. Light duty and easy to handle, this large and in-charge truck packs in tons of desirable features that you don't want to miss. more 1. Incredible Engine Options If you like a vehicle with a lot of variety, here's one that you may enjoy: customize your truck from the first day by selecting one of the many available engines from a range of six. Here are the two that drivers recommend the most: The base: 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost, 500 lb-ft of torque, 40 horsepower Most powerful: 5-liter V8, 400 lb-ft of torque, 400 horsepower If fuel efficiency is important to you, then you should go with the 2.7 V6, but if easy maintenance is more your thing, then the turbo-diesel could be your perfect fit. Weigh up your options against your needs and preferences, then make your choice. 2. Top-Notch Towing If you select the most powerful engine then the towing capacities will really blow you away. While all of the engines offer impressive performance, none are quite as special as that V8. With that one you can haul 14,000 pounds; almost double what some slightly smaller trucks can handle so you know you're getting a huge advantage if you select the Ford F-150. Of course, not everyone has such heavy loads to haul around, but you still might have something substantial to transport. In that case, you can take advantage of the 3,325-pound payload in the truck bed. Again, you'll only get this maximum with the best engine, but the other engines offer power that's not far off the maximum too. 3. All-Terrain Action Although it's only a light-duty pickup, the Ford F-150 can handle just as much as something more rugged. It works wonderfully on various terrains with its four-by-four drive and smooth acceleration no matter what's under the wheels. The solid suspension system helps with whatever ground you're on, too, as does the high ground clearance. If you're going to be on some really unruly roads, consider the Ford F-150 Tremor. This trim adds twin-tube rear shocks and monotube front shocks that make wild roads feel more comfortable and easier to drive on. 4. Incredible Handling Superior handling comes with being light-duty, but drivers feel that the Ford F-150 handles more like an SUV than a full-size pickup. Not only that, but it steers and handles well in general, with next to no body roll no matter how sharp the turn. Alongside that drivers praise the dynamics of the steering. Come and see us at Pat Milliken Ford if any of these features wowed you. We'll get you behind the wheel for a test drive so you can see if you still find them as impressive in person as they are in writing.

However, the Bronco Sport's standard 1.5-liter turbocharged 3-cylinder engine helps you get up to 25 MPG in the city and 28 on the highway. Another fun aspect that makes this SUV unique is its easter eggs! These easter eggs are surprise little decals, stickers, and engravings that make this model even more fun. Some are standard across all Ford Bronco models, like the lasso and the bottle opener. However, some are unique to the individual model, so you'll want to look out for your own special easter eggs when you purchase a 2021 Ford Bronco Sport!
