Powerful Performance From Three Powertrain Options

Ford offers so many choices for the 2025 Bronco, and one of the best is the ability to decide on the powertrain for your vehicle. A 2.3L EcoBoost turbocharged I-4 gas engine comes standard on the Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, Heritage Edition, and Badlands trims. This engine offers the choice of a seven-speed manual transmission or a 10-speed automatic transmission, while the other engines come with the automatic transmission only. Whichever you choose, this turbocharged and intercooled engine delivers 300 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, which helps propel the Bronco from zero to 60 mph in around seven seconds.

You can also choose a larger engine for your 2025 Bronco. The Outer Banks, Heritage Edition, and Badlands offer an optional 2.7L EcoBoost turbocharged V6 gas engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. This is the standard engine on the Stroppe Edition trim as well. This is a twin-turbocharged and intercooled gas engine that delivers 330 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque. As a result, you can go from zero to 60 mph in the Bronco with this engine in just 6.2 seconds. 

Drivers who have a need for speed can opt for the top-of-the-line Bronco Raptor. This features a unique 3.0L EcoBoost turbocharged V6 gas engine with a 10-speed automatic transmission. This also has twin turbochargers, but it produces an exceptional 418 hp and 440 lb-ft of torque, giving you the ability to accelerate to 60 mph in just 5.6 seconds with a top speed of 114 mph.

Off-Road Capabilities Built Into the Bronco

The key to the Ford Bronco is that it is built from the ground up for off-roading. Every Bronco has a specialized four-wheel drive system that allows you to choose between different GOAT modes, which stands for “Goes Over Any Type of Terrain.” This allows you to select the type of terrain or road conditions you are navigating. The Bronco will then direct the right amount of horsepower to each wheel, giving you the traction you need to deal with the conditions your vehicle is experiencing.

The Bronco also has a High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension (HOSS) that is built to handle the rough and uneven terrain on the trail. This will cushion the ruts, giving you and your passengers a very comfortable ride. Depending on the trim you choose, you will get a different HOSS system with advanced dampers that are designed for off-roading. 

There are other features that are standard or available on the 2025 Bronco to enhance your off-road experience. For example, the Heritage Edition has a front bash plate to shield the undercarriage of the vehicle, while the Badlands, Stroppe Edition, and Raptor offer full underbody protection. This is something to consider depending on the types of trails you want to explore in your Bronco.

The same is true of the available front and rear electronic-locking axles. These are standard or optional on all trims of the Bronco, and can help if you are going to be encountering muddy terrain. This feature locks the axles so the wheels can turn in unison, helping you power out of a slippery predicament.

The 2025 Bronco offers some impressive off-roading capabilities. Depending on the trim you choose, you can get up to 13.1 inches of ground clearance. This will help you maneuver over logs, rocks, and other debris that could potentially damage your vehicle. This ground clearance will also improve your Bronco’s approach, breakover, and departure angles, making it easier to traverse obstacles in your vehicle’s path. The Bronco can also ford up to 37 inches of water, which is a lot of river for a Ford to ford. 

The Options You Need to Make the Bronco Your Own

One of the most wonderful things about the Ford Bronco is the ability to choose from so many different options. This allows you to configure the Bronco to look and perform the way you desire.

For example, the Base and Badlands trims offer two-door and four-door designs, while the Stroppe Edition comes with two doors only. The remaining four trims come standard with four doors. You should keep in mind that a two-door Bronco can seat up to four passengers, while the four-door model has room for five passengers.

Ford also lets you decide on the type of roof you want. Most trims come with the choice of hard top or soft top, as well as a retractable top that combines the best of a hard top and soft top. All of these can be removed, along with the Bronco’s doors, so you can let the sunshine in when you are out hitting the trail in warm weather.

Interestingly, your choice of roof will affect the amount of cargo space in your vehicle. While two-door models offer 22.4 cu.ft. of trunk space, a four-door Bronco with a hard top roof gives you 35.6 cu.ft. in the trunk, compared to 38.3 cu.ft. if you opt for a soft top.

Big Foot Bronco With a Sasquatch

“Take It to the Limit” should be the theme song of the 2025 Bronco. This is especially true if you opt for the Sasquatch Package, which is available for all the trims. This adds a set of 35-inch rugged terrain tires, giving you better grip, while improving your Bronco’s ground clearance. This is why this package is called Sasquatch, since your Bronco is going to get a big foot on each wheel. The package also includes a set of Bilstein shock absorbers and high clearance fender flares, so you won’t have to worry about something damaging your Bronco’s exterior.

Stay in Sync With the Bronco’s SYNC 4 System

The Bronco has built a reputation as a rugged SUV with retro looks. This is especially true if you choose the Heritage Edition trim or opt for the Free Wheeling package on the Bronco Big Bend. But don’t let the retro looks fool you. The 2025 Bronco features Ford’s latest technology for staying connected and entertained.

Every trim comes with the SYNC 4 system on a massive 12-inch touchscreen. This is easy to use, with swipe capability allowing you to scroll through your apps. There is even enhanced voice recognition, so you can use SYNC 4 without taking your hands off the steering wheel.

Ford makes it easy to connect to the system, as it features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. This allows you to make hands-free calls and texts, even if you left your charging cables at home. The Bronco features a standard seven-speaker audio system with a subwoofer, so you can stream your own soundtrack for your next adventure.

If you are a serious audiophile, then you can opt for the B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen that is an option on many trim levels. This has 12 speakers strategically located throughout the Bronco’s cabin, courtesy of one of the leading stereo companies in the business.

Make Your Next SUV a Ford Bronco

If you want a powerful, capable, and versatile SUV that is out of the ordinary, then the 2025 Ford Bronco is for you. This model offers so many different options that it is easy to configure one that will be ideal for your next adventure.
