2025 Ford Bronco

For 2025, the Ford Bronco is offered in seven distinct trims: Base, Big Bend, Heritage Edition, Outer Banks, Badlands, Stroppe Edition, and Raptor. The Base model features practical 16-inch steel wheels, while the Big Bend model adds heavy-duty skid plates for protection. The Heritage Edition model boasts retro styling elements, including body-colored door handles. The Outer Banks trim offers body-colored fender flares and mirrors for a more refined look. Badlands and Raptor models come with 35-inch mud-terrain tires, high-clearance fenders, and powder-coated steel bumpers with bull bars. The Stroppe Edition stands out with matte black wheels and racing-inspired styling cues.

The 2025 Bronco offers three engine choices. Base, Big Bend, Heritage Edition, and Outer Banks models come standard with a 300-horsepower turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine, paired with either a seven-speed manual transmission (featuring a trail-friendly crawler gear) or a 10-speed automatic transmission. Most trims can upgrade to a 330-horsepower twin-turbo 2.7-liter V-6 with the 10-speed automatic transmission. The Raptor trim tops the range with a 418-horsepower twin-turbo V-6, making it the most powerful Bronco. This engine is matched to a performance-tuned 10-speed automatic transmission, which delivers both quick shifts and smooth operation.

These models can tow between 3,500 to 4,500 pounds depending on the configuration. A range of off-road performance characteristics make the Bronco ready for anything, but the real standout is Ford's G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) system. It offers seven drive modes: Normal, Eco, Sport, Sand, Mud, Rock Crawl, and Slippery. The HOSS (High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension) system comes in four versions, from the capable HOSS 1.0 to the Raptor's advanced HOSS 4.0 with FOX Live Valve semi-active dampers. With ground clearance reaching up to 11.6 inches and impressive angles of approach, breakover, and departure, the Bronco can truly take on any obstacle.

Inside the 2025 Bronco is a 12-inch touchscreen running SYNC 4 software, which connects wirelessly to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Badlands trim gets practical with rubberized floors and marine-grade vinyl seats, meaning you can go ahead and get them muddy. For more luxury, you might prefer the leather seats in Outer Banks, Badlands, or Raptor models. The Bronco's cabin is designed for real life, with mounting points built into the dashboard for all your gadgets, from phones to action cameras. Hardtop Broncos offer between 97.6 and 103.6 cubic feet of passenger space, while soft tops are a bit roomier at 108.2 cubic feet. Two-door models seat four, and four-doors handle five passengers comfortably. The Stroppe Edition trim adds some flair with vinyl seats featuring bright Orange Code stitching and a special edition badge on the console. It's the right balance of rugged and civilized. You can dump gear on the seats or track in mud and not feel bad about it, yet it's still comfortable enough for that long drive home after a weekend in the mountains.

The 2025 Bronco packs standard forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking, and automatic high beams across all models. Parking sensors help you navigate tight spaces, whether at the mall or on narrow trails. Outer Banks, Badlands, and Raptor models offer an optional 360-degree camera system for precise maneuvering. Trail Control works like off-road cruise control at between 1 to 20 mph, working in all four-wheel-drive modes. It directs power to wheels with traction, allowing you to focus on steering while the system handles power management. Tough trails are manageable with the Bronco.
