Ford has gone back in time for a new look on its 2024 Bronco Sport, adding a new Free Wheeling special-edition trim, along with a new Black Appearance Package. Both will be based on the Bronco Sport’s Big Bend trim level.
The Free Wheeling’s most noticeable styling cue is a five-colour reflective graphic that’s inspired by the appearance of the Ford Freewheeling series in the 1970s and early 1980s, used on the F-100 and F-150 pickup trucks, Econoline van, and on the Bronco. The package usually included graphics with red, orange, and yellow lines that were intended to evoke a sunset.

On the 2024 Bronco Sport, the Free Wheeling also adds 17-inch high-gloss black wheels with red accents; silver-painted grille with two-tone Bronco badge; black roof, mirrors and bumpers; orange accents on the dash; and the exterior graphic hues in the seat inserts and stitching.
The idea for the new trim package was first launched as a concept at Ford’s display in at SEMA Show, the Speciality Equipment Market Association trade event in Las Vegas, featuring the newly-launched Bronco Sport reimagined with the 1970s-style graphics.

Ford said it is offering the Black Appearance Package due to the popularity of similar option packages on the F-150, Maverick, and Mustang.
The new editions are available for ordering, although Canadian pricing is yet to come. Also new for 2024, the Bronco Sport will offer Azure Grey and Desert Sand exterior colours on other Bronco trims apart from these two new packages.
