After hundreds of hours of research, test driving, and assessment—and three rounds of independently verified voting—the 2022 Ford Bronco was named the North American Utility Vehicle of the Year the previous year. It beat contenders like the Genesis GV70 and the electric Hyundai IONIQ 5. This all-terrain vehicle is ready to hit the road no matter the conditions. 

Residents of Norwalk, Bellevue, Port Clinton, and Sandusky, OH, can get their own award-winning 2022 Ford Bronco at Mathews Ford Sandusky.

Why Consider Last Year’s Model?

Suppose you’re buying a car. In that case, you may have realized some of the best deals are on “leftover” models—vehicles that carry an earlier model year even as new models arrive at dealers. For instance, a 2022 model may be steeply discounted once 2023 models come.

Since dealers need to sell earlier models fast, they’ll likely negotiate more in every aspect of the deal—including trade-ins. As a result, you’ll likely get more money for your trade-in if you get last year’s model. With lower pricing, you could pocket considerable savings by choosing an outgoing car.

Features of the Utility Vehicle

Utility vehicles are unique because they are designed for a specific purpose—like carrying small loads over rugged terrain. Authentic utility vehicles generally have all-wheel drive, a truck-like bed, and an open cab. Popular utility vehicles include Ford Expeditions, Jeep Wranglers, and the Ford Bronco.

The Ford Bronco was at peak popularity in the mid-80s and early 90s. Its open frame and truck bed gave it a rugged look, and it was perfect for off-roading in pretty much any terrain. 

The award-winning 2022 Ford Bronco is a thoughtful and successful update of a beloved classic. It even won a design award from German-based iF International Forum Design GmbH. Its retro-inspired modern chic and a “pragmatic, emotional design” were hailed as a major international success.

And it doesn’t just look good, the retro aesthetic has been paired with cutting-edge technology! With 360-degree off-road cameras and a top-of-the-line terrain management system, you can easily navigate sandy, muddy, or mountainous terrain!

Two 2022 Models

In its 2022 line, Ford released two special edition Ford Bronco models—the Raptor and the Everglades. The Raptor was designed for high-speed off-roading, while the Everglades builds off the Bronco Black Diamond model but will have all-new features and updates! 

Both models could be fitted with the HOSS 3.0 suspension package or the all-new slide-out tailgate, among other features and packages.
