The modern Bronco returned for the 2021 model year, so most used Broncos are this generation; confirm the engine, transmission, 2- or 4-door body and whether it has the Sasquatch Package before you compare prices.
Certified used Bronco: how CPO changes the decision
Swant Graber Ford is a Ford Blue Advantage dealer: a Gold Certified Bronco (up to 6 years old, under 80,000 miles) adds a 12-month/12,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty and a 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty.
- Gold Certified: Ford models up to 6 years old and under 80,000 miles, 172-point inspection, 12-month/12,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty, 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty.
- Blue Certified: vehicles up to 10 years old and under 150,000 miles, 139-point inspection, 90-day/4,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty.
- Swant Graber Ford participates in Ford Blue Advantage's 14-day/1,000-mile Money Back Guarantee; Ford's conditions apply.
- Non-certified used vehicles at Swant Graber include 45 days / 5,000 miles powertrain, on used units 10 model years or newer with under 150,000 miles. See dealer for details.
How it changes the decision: Gold Certified's 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain coverage is longer than the 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty on a new Ford, so a 2–4-year-old Gold unit can be the value play if you don't need the newest changes.
