The 2025 Ford Bronco in a Nutshell
Yes, we’re aware that it’s the new year, but the 2026 and 2025 Broncos differ little from each other. Those choosing between the two don’t have to worry about missing out on key features. With that in mind, it’s still largely similar to the model that first came out in 2021.
Instead of being based on the F-Series, the modern Bronco shares its underpinnings with the Ranger. That said, its chassis is extensively modified for its purpose, and has different spring and damper rates. The Bronco is well-equipped for the most part and has modern creature comforts despite its throwback looks. Its main competitor? It’s none other than the Jeep Wrangler.

Go for the Outer Banks, and that adds a power-adjustable driver’s seat, a heated steering wheel, and 18-inch alloys, while the Badlands comes with rubberized floors, an auxiliary switch panel, and all-terrain tires. As for the Heritage and Stroppe Edition models, those get a more retro-themed design inside and out, plus suspension upgrades.
For engines, most use a 2.3-liter Ecoboost four-cylinder with 300 hp, with the optional engine being the 2.7-liter Ecoboost V6 with 330 hp. The 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 with over 400 hp is exclusive to the Raptor. Base, Big Bend, Badlands, and Heritage Edition can be equipped with a seven-speed manual in lieu of the standard ten-speed automatic.
Final Thoughts
Yes, there are more practical, more comfortable, and sensible SUVs out there, but the Bronco is the type of car one buys with their heart and not their head. However, there are several practical points to it that make it a daily-friendly off-roader, and it also helps that it’s capable of the rough stuff even right off the showroom. It’s safe to say that Ford nailed the Bronco’s comeback by tapping into the original model from the ’60s and modernizing it in the right places.
