Ford Bronco is 2022 North American Utility Vehicle of the Year
With its versatile and high-tech accommodations, heritage-inspired style, and top-tier trail-tackling tenacity, the all-new Ford Bronco was a smash hit before it even launched. Now that it's out, the flagship model of Ford's Built Wild™ 4x4 brand has more than lived up to the hype and proven itself as the industry's new standard-setting off-road titan.
Acclaimed by both customers and critics, the Ford Bronco has accumulated quite the haul of accolades in just its first year of production-earning top honors from renowned outlets and publications like SEMA, Motor1, Top Gear, Forbes, CarBuzz, and more. And in January 2022, Bronco added another prestigious award to its already full trophy shelf, as it was named the North American Utility Vehicle of the Year for 2022.
Judged by a panel of 50 professional automotive journalists from the United States and Canada, the North American Car, Truck, and Utility Vehicle of the Year Awards (NACTOY) are the longest-running new-vehicle awards not associated with a single publication. Jurors spend months evaluating a long list of eligible vehicles, eventually narrowing it down to three vehicles in three categories. Votes are then sent to Deloitte and Touche in Detroit to be tallied, with winners announced in partnership with Detroit North American International Auto Show.
NACTOY jurors praised Ford for not simply resting on the laurels of the Bronco's nostalgic logo and pulling out all the stops to "deliver on the promise of its legendary name."

Rave Reviews For The Ford Bronco From Car and Driver and MotorTrend
The Ford Bronco is presenting a formidable challenge to the Jeep® Wrangler and it's the first SUV to do that in more than a generation. The success of the Ford Bronco in developing a powerful new alternative to the Wrangler has been recognized by the editors at both Car and Driver and MotorTrend. In fact, Car and Driver ranked the Bronco as the best mid-size two-row SUV and MotorTrend found that the Bronco beat the Toyota Land Cruiser and the Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 4xe. Here's what the experts had to say about the Ford Bronco and why it's worth a test drive at Cavender Ford in Columbus, Texas.
Car and Driver ranks the Ford Bronco #1 in its Class
Car and Driver evaluated the best mid-size two-row SUVs based on 200 data points that include acceleration, handling, cargo space, comfort, fuel efficiency, value, and how much fun they are to drive. When the dust settled, Car and Driver gave its #1 rating to the 2025 Ford Bronco. They stated that whether you buy the two- or four-door body style, the new 2025 Bronco can work well as a daily commuter in communities like La Grange, Texas and take you off the grid on the weekend.
Car and Driver's High Level Overview Gave High Marks to the Bronco
The automotive experts at Car and Driver were impressed that even base models of the Bronco can tackle the trails while higher-end trims come with rugged off-road features for serious adventures far from your home in Schulenburg, Texas. They mentioned that desirable options include big 35-inch mud-terrain tires, electronic locking front and rear differentials, beadlock-capable wheels and a sway-bar-disconnect feature. With all those strengths, the Bronco won a spot on Car and Drivers Editors' Choice list for 2025 and it earned the #1 rating in the two-row SUV category.
How Car and Driver Rated the Bronco's Performance
Car and Driver commended the Bronco's standard 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 300 horsepower and the available twin-turbo 2.7-liter V6 with 330 horsepower. They noted that every new Bronco comes with an off-road-style four-wheel drive system that you can select manually and it also has an independent front suspension that's more advanced than Jeep's front stick axle. They also pointed out that the steering is more precise than the Jeep Wrangler and the Bronco delivers better overall handling as you drive around a city like Sealy, Texas.
The Ford Bronco Faced a Rugged MotorTrend Contest Against the Jeep Wrangler
The automotive fanatics at MotorTrend took the Ford Bronco, the Jeep Wrangler 4xe and the Toyota Land Cruiser to Coyote Flats, a destination at 10,000 feet of elevation in the eastern Sierra Nevada region. The trip required traveling over more than 16.5 miles of steep trail with big rocks, deep ruts from winter rains and massive holes, testing the underbody protection of all three vehicles. The Toyota Land Cruiser was quickly eliminated as more suitable for commuting, leaving the Ford Bronco to challenge the Jeep Wrangler 4xe.
The Result: The Ford Bronco Won Overall
The 2025 Ford Bronco beat the Jeep Wrangler 4xe in the road-trip challenge because the independent front suspension system keeps it from wandering like the Wrangler with a front live axle. The Bronco had more cargo space and the best overall off-road specifications with 11.5 inches of ground clearance. Motor Trend appreciated the fact that the Bronco didn't toss the editors around like the Jeep Wrangler did, something that Eagle Lake, Texas off-roaders will appreciate.
The Bronco was also faster on the trail because of its superior ground clearance, along with shocks that get better as you drive faster and because its electronically disconnecting front anti-roll bar stays unlocked at higher speeds. Bottom line: The Ford Bronco gave MotorTrend everything they wanted for the least amount of money, including interior space and off-road ride quality.
