If you're searching for a rugged, go-anywhere SUV at a price that makes sense, this 2023 Ford Bronco Sport Big Bend for sale at Madera Auto Center in Chowchilla, CA is exactly what you've been looking for. Finished in a sharp Shadow Black exterior and riding on a capable 4WD drivetrain, this Bronco Sport combines everyday versatility with genuine off-road credentials — all at a competitive $23,147 price point that puts a nearly-new adventure SUV within reach.

About This 2023 Ford Bronco Sport Big Bend

This 2023 Bronco Sport Big Bend carries 68,058 miles, which puts it firmly in a comfortable ownership window for buyers who want to skip the steep new-car depreciation without sacrificing modern features or powertrain reliability. The Big Bend trim is Ford's entry point into real off-road capability — not a softened crossover dressed up in trail clothing, but a purpose-built machine with the hardware to back up its looks. Shadow Black is one of the cleaner color choices in the Bronco Sport lineup, offering a bold, stealthy appearance that holds up well over time and doesn't show trail dust between washes.

2023 Ford Bronco Sport Performance and Engine

Under the hood sits Ford's 1.5L EcoBoost turbocharged three-cylinder engine, paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission and full-time 4WD. Don't let the displacement fool you — this engine produces a punchy 181 horsepower and 190 lb-ft of torque, with turbo-assisted power delivery that feels confident merging onto highways or climbing graded dirt roads outside Chowchilla. The 8-speed automatic is well-matched to the EcoBoost, shifting smoothly in everyday driving and holding gears efficiently on descents. The 4WD system on the Big Bend includes Ford's Terrain Management System with selectable drive modes including Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, and Sand. With 7.1 inches of ground clearance and a water-fording depth of 23.6 inches, this Bronco Sport is genuinely trail-capable right out of the box.

Ford Bronco Sport Big Bend Features and Interior

Technology and Connectivity

The Big Bend trim brings a solid standard feature set that makes daily driving just as comfortable as weekend adventure. Inside, you'll find Ford's SYNC 3 infotainment system with an 8-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto compatibility. The interior is designed with adventure in mind — easy-clean materials, handy storage throughout the cabin, and a rear that opens wide for gear loading thanks to the available hands-free power liftgate.

Comfort and Practicality

Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel come standard on the Big Bend, a feature set that genuinely surprises buyers stepping up from base compact SUVs. The cabin is well-organized with thoughtful touches like large door storage pockets, a rear cargo area designed for awkward-shaped gear, and enough rear passenger room for adults to sit comfortably on longer drives. Ford didn't cut corners on safety either — automatic emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert all come standard.

Ford Bronco Sport Reliability and Ownership

The Bronco Sport has earned a reputation as one of the more satisfying compact SUVs launched in recent memory. Ford hit the ground running with this model after years of development, and first- and second-generation owners broadly report strong satisfaction, particularly around off-road performance and powertrain smoothness. The 1.5L EcoBoost engine family has a long track record across multiple Ford vehicles and is generally considered durable and well-supported by an extensive service network. Being a 2023 model year vehicle, this Bronco Sport may still carry remaining portions of Ford's original powertrain warranty, and all Ford dealers nationwide can access service history and support for ongoing maintenance. Fuel economy typically lands around 25–28 MPG combined in real-world driving, which is a genuine plus for a 4WD SUV with this level of off-road capability.
