Blue Ford Bronco driving up the rocks

As the Ford Bronco enters its fifth model year, the 2025 lineup brings significant changes to the trim structure while maintaining the vehicle’s legendary capability and appeal. Ford has streamlined the 2025 Bronco lineup by discontinuing several familiar trims, including the Wildtrak, Everglades, and Black Diamond while introducing new configurations and special editions. This article explores the latest trim levels along with their exterior and interior features to help you make an informed decision.

Exploring the 2025 Ford Bronco Trim Levels: A Comprehensive Guide

Selecting the ideal Bronco trim depends on your specific needs and intended use.

2025 Ford Bronco Base

The Base trim is back for 2025 after being temporarily discontinued. It has a standard 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine that generates 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. A seven-speed manual transmission comes standard, though you can opt for the 10-speed automatic. The interior features a standard 12-inch digital gauge cluster, previously exclusive to the Bronco Raptor. 

Four-door models receive additional refinements with rear passenger climate control vents, enhanced sound insulation, and an acoustic windshield for improved comfort. The optional Sasquatch Package transforms the Base trim into a serious off-road machine. 

2025 Ford Bronco Big Bend

The Big Bend trim elevates the Bronco experience through thoughtful additions and is now exclusively available in a four-door configuration. It retains the capable 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with the choice of a manual or automatic transmission. The trim comes in different packages, such as the following:

  • The Mid Package enhances comfort with heated front seats, driver-assistance systems, and dual-zone climate control.
  • The Black Diamond Package, formerly a separate trim level, adds robust off-road features, including heavy-duty bumpers and bash plates.
  • The retro-inspired Free Wheeling Package adds multicolor stripes reminiscent of the 1970s, enhancing the vehicle’s aesthetic appeal.
  • The Black Appearance Package offers darker exterior accents for a more aggressive look.

2025 Ford Bronco Heritage

The Heritage Edition expertly blends classic Bronco styling with modern technology and capability. It features a white grille with bold red Ford lettering, complemented by classic steel wheels and a vintage-inspired graphics package. It pays homage to the original Bronco’s iconic design. The trim comes with a standard 300-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder or an optional 330-horsepower twin-turbo V-6 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. 

The retro-inspired theme continues in the vehicle’s interior, with unique floor liners and a white-painted instrument panel. The Heritage Edition comes with Ford’s advanced 12-inch touch-screen infotainment system that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. 

2025 Ford Bronco Outer Banks

The Outer Banks represents the luxury-oriented choice in the lineup, offered solely in a four-door configuration. You can choose a standard 2.3-liter four-cylinder or upgrade to a 2.7-liter V-6, which produces an impressive 330 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque when running on premium fuel. The exterior has a distinctive black grille featuring white lettering, complemented by LED signature lighting, fog lights, and 18-inch Gloss-Black wheels. The cabin features leather-trimmed seats, a heated steering wheel, and carpeted floors for a more refined driving experience.

The available Lux Package further elevates the Outer Banks with premium features, including adaptive cruise control and a sophisticated 12-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system. The Sasquatch Package remains available to enhance the vehicle’s off-road capabilities without sacrificing luxury amenities.

2025 Ford Bronco Badlands

The Badlands trim is the ultimate expression of off-road capability in the standard Bronco lineup. Available in two-door and four-door configurations, it has an advanced on-demand four-wheel-drive (4WD) system and a sophisticated seven-mode terrain management system. The high-performance off-road stability 2.0 suspension system with BILSTEIN position-sensitive dampers provides exceptional control and comfort on and off the trail. Durability features include robust steel bash plates, rock rails, and reinforced steel bumpers, providing comprehensive protection during aggressive off-road use.

The Badlands’ capability extends beyond its rugged underpinnings with a front stabilizer bar disconnect system and four strategically placed tow hooks. The interior combines durability and functionality, featuring marine-grade vinyl seats equipped with the MOLLE strap system for securing gear. You can opt for the Sasquatch Package for maximum off-road potential or add the Mid and Lux Packages for additional comfort and convenience features.

2025 Ford Bronco Stroppe Edition

The Stroppe Edition pays tribute to legendary Baja racers while delivering modern performance capabilities. Available exclusively in a two-door configuration, this special edition features a striking exterior combining white, orange, blue, and black in a distinctive color scheme that commands attention.

The interior continues the bold theme with vibrant orange accents throughout the cabin. Power comes from Ford’s V6 engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and on-demand 4WD system, providing exceptional performance on and off the road.

While the Stroppe Edition maintains its exclusivity through limited configuration options, you can choose the Sasquatch Package for enhanced off-road capability, which adds larger tires and upgraded suspension components.

2025 Ford Bronco Raptor

The Raptor represents the pinnacle of Bronco performance and capability. This range-topping model comes exclusively in a four-door configuration and is powered by a potent 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged V-6 engine that produces 418 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque. The sophisticated FOX Live Valve dampers provide continuously adaptive suspension performance, while massive 37-inch all-terrain tires deliver unmatched traction and ground clearance.
