Ford has rolled out a series of updates for the 2025 Bronco, adding more standard equipment and a few strategic options aimed at keeping the model fresh in a crowded off-road market. Among the changes, the company has restructured the trim lineup, reintroducing the long-absent base model to broaden its market appeal. All trims of the 2025 Ford Bronco come standard with a 12-inch digital instrument cluster, a feature that, until now, was reserved for the Bronco Raptor. This upgrade replaces the former 8-inch display and traditional analog speedometer, aligning with the 12-inch infotainment touchscreen that became standard last year. Audiophiles may also notice the difference, as Ford has swapped out the previous 10-speaker setup for an upgraded 12-speaker B&O audio system.

The cabin has been further enhanced with the addition of rear A/C vents on four-door Broncos, improved sound insulation throughout the interior and more ambient lighting. Furthermore, the Sasquatch package rides on a new set of 35-inch Goodyear Territory rugged terrain tires, which are said to be quieter on the highway compared to the previous all-terrain rubber. Ford has also reshuffled the trim hierarchy for the 2025 model year. The base model makes a comeback, riding on classic steel wheels and starting at US$ 37,995—just a US$ 565 bump over the 2023 version. The Wildtrak trim, however, has been axed, replaced by the more expensive Stroppe Special Edition. Another change sees the Black Diamond trim shifting to an optional package for the Big Bend.

Engine choices remain familiar but are now more tightly linked to each trim. The entry-level 300hp 2.3-liter four-cylinder turbo engine is the only option for the Base, Big Bends, and Badlands trims. The more potent 2.7-liter V6 with 330hp can be had as an option for the Outer Banks, and Heritage Edition, and is standard on the Stroppe. At the top of the food chain, the Raptor retains its exclusive 418-hp 3.0-liter V6, providing the Bronco’s peak performance without concessions. Transmission options vary depending on the engine. The 2.3-liter four-cylinder offers a choice between a 7-speed manual and a 10-speed automatic, while both V6 engines are exclusively paired with the 10-speed auto.

For those inclined to customize, the new Black Appearance package (US$ 1,395) serves as an alternative to the colorful Free Wheeling Appearance package. It features black mirror caps, fender flares, door handles, grille, and matching graphics, combined with white Bronco lettering and a Shadow Black removable hardtop. When combined with the Sasquatch package, it also adds a gloss-black finish on the beadlock wheels. Another highlight is the new Matte Clear Film option, available for all non-Raptor trims. The film adds a matte finish to the paint, while keeping it protected from the “road salt, bug splatter, and asphalt residue that drivers can encounter in everyday driving”.

Ford is now taking orders for the 2025 Bronco, with first deliveries expected to commence this winter.
