With first deliveries underway, eager enthusiasts are finally getting a chance to experience the reborn Ford Bronco and see if it lives up to expectations. We've already seen the Ford Bronco take on the Jeep Wrangler in a drag race, and now Late Model Restoration has acquired a 2021 Bronco and hooked it up to a dyno to find out how much power it really makes. Finished in Carbonized Gray, the Bronco being tested is a Big Bend model with the Sasquatch Package.

Under the hood, Ford officially claims the Bronco's 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder is rated at 270 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque.

However, the model being tested is running on high-octane fuel, which boosts the power up to 300 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque. Fitted with a seven-speed automatic, the Bronco was running in seventh gear for the dyno test, which is the 1:1 ratio.

With the Sasquatch Package installed, the Bronco used for the dyno run has 4.70 rear gears and massive 35-inch tires. During the dyno run, the results show that the Bronco's 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine generated 225.37 hp at 4,750 rpm and 303.92 lb-ft at 3,410 rpm - a drivetrain loss of 25 percent, so Ford's claims are accurate. However, the Bronco hit the speed limiter during the test, so the engine could potentially produce even more power

Late Model Restoration also had access to a 1996 Ford Bronco with a 351 Windsor V8, so the YouTuber decided to see how it stacked up against the new Bronco just for fun.

To compare, the 1996 Bronco generated 165 hp and 259 lb-ft at the dyno, which is 60 hp and 45 lb-ft less than the modern version, showing the progress that has been made over the last 25 years. Late Model Restoration also plans to hook up a Bronco with the more powerful 2.7-liter turbo V6, which generates 330 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque when running on high-octane fuel according to Ford.
