The Ford Bronco Sport is enjoying great sales results with September being the first month in which the Bronco’s little brother outsold the Escape, with which it shares a common platform. In some areas of the country, you can get good discounts for the 2021 Bronco Sport, and the dealers are preparing for the 2022 model to start arriving at the showrooms. According to a new report, it could be a little more expensive than the 2021 MY.
