Ford Bronco
History of the Ford Bronco
The Ford Bronco, an iconic off-road vehicle, traces its origins back to its debut in 1965. Designed to compete with the rising popularity of compact SUVs, the Bronco quickly garnered attention for its ruggedness and versatility. Its square-jawed design and exceptional off-road capabilities made it a favorite among outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers. Over the years, the Bronco went through several generations, each marked by innovative upgrades and improvements. From its initial release as a compact SUV to its transformation into a larger, more refined model in the late 1970s, the Bronco consistently adapted to the changing needs and preferences of consumers.
While the Bronco enjoyed decades of success, Ford made the difficult decision to discontinue its production in 1996 due to shifting market demands. However, the Bronco’s legacy endured through its devoted fan base and iconic status. In response to the growing demand for rugged SUVs in recent years, Ford decided to revive the Bronco brand. The 2021 reintroduction of the new Ford Bronco marked a triumphant return, capturing the essence of its heritage while incorporating modern technology and design. The fifth-generation Bronco features a body-on-frame construction, advanced four-wheel-drive systems, and an array of off-road features designed to tackle the most extreme terrain, making it the ideal choice for Ford Bronco enthusiasts.
In the most current iteration of the Ford Bronco, the focus has expanded to include performance as well as off-road capabilities. The latest model is equipped with turbocharged engine options, such as the EcoBoost powertrains, delivering impressive power and efficiency, essential for conquering challenging terrain. This turbocharged approach enhances both on-road acceleration and rough country crawling ability, catering to a wider range of enthusiasts. With its innovative features, including the available Sasquatch Package for extreme off-roading and a suite of advanced infotainment and safety technologies, the modern Ford Bronco continues to capture the spirit of adventure while embracing the demands of contemporary drivers. As Ford’s commitment to innovation persists, the Bronco’s future appears promising, solidifying its position as a timeless icon in the automotive world.

Ford Bronco Intercoolers
Ford Bronco Intercoolers
With nearly a decade of experience modifying EcoBoost powered Fords, we at COBB have found that the factory equipped intercooler can represent a significant performance limitation. Add on the sort of big front and rear bumpers, winches, and other Bronco accessories found on many new models, and the limitation can get even more severe. We’re happy to have introduced an industry-leading intercooler solution for the 2.3 and 2.7 EcoBoost Broncos!
Ford Bronco Intake
COBB Intake Upgrade for Ford Bronco
The COBB Intake System for the 2021+ Ford Bronco 2.3L & 2.7L mirrors the design of the vehicle and offers the best of both worlds. There are two interchangeable window options included in the kit, a clear polycarbonate window that seals the airbox but allows you to view the filter perhaps to be used in environments when a sealed box is beneficial such as extreme off-roading or foraging through water, and an aluminum mesh grate that is open to the elements and allows for a bit more airflow and sound when on-road performance or personal preference of the aesthetics is key. No matter the look you choose, you can guarantee that the look and performance of this intake is second to none!
Removing restriction and giving your Ford Bronco more airflow is key to increased performance and throttle response in all driving scenarios and with our testing, we saw an increase of ~9% over stock when using the sealed clear polycarbonate window and ~21% when using the open aluminum mesh window attachment.
