You Can Get What You Wish For: The Highly Customizable 2025 Ford Bronco

At this point, most drivers are familiar with the Ford Bronco. It was associated with the ultimate in off-road journeys when it first debuted in 1966, and the brand’s 2020 relaunch proved that the Bronco spirit would last forever. With its G.O.A.T. modes (Goes Over Any Terrain) and HOSS Suspension Systems, it’s clear that the Bronco is one of the most capable vehicles on and off the road today. What drivers may not know, even those actively looking for a Ford Bronco for sale, is that it is also one of the most customizable vehicles on the market.

The 2025 Ford Bronco lineup includes seven standard models, each with its own distinct driving personality and approach to off-roading. Each model offers its own set of options, from additional packages to accessories that make it even more livable for daily drivers. Let’s look at the 2025 Ford Bronco models and their options to see which best fits your adventurous driving spirit.

A Brief Overview

Ford has made a few changes to the Bronco lineup for the 2025 model year. The Base trim, which was discontinued for 2024, has returned, and an off-road racing Stroppe Special Edition has joined the lineup. The Black Diamond, Wildtrak, and Everglades trims have been discontinued, but the Black Diamond name resurfaces as an optional package that we’ll discuss in more detail momentarily. Therefore, the official 2025 Ford Bronco lineup includes the Base, Big Bend, Heritage Edition, Outer Banks, Badlands, Stroppe Edition, and the unparalleled Bronco Raptor model.

Like its ancestors, the 2025 Bronco is offered in two- and four-door configurations, depending on the model selected. The Stroppe Edition is offered as a two-door model only, while the Base and Badlands models are offered with your choice of two or four doors. The rest of the lineup is offered exclusively with four doors. The standard outfit for two-door models is a removable hard top, while four-door models wear a foldable soft top that accommodates a variety of positions.

Here’s where the customization begins. If you want a body-color hard top or a different-colored hard top, just ask. Perhaps you want a soft canvas top or a retractable twill top. Would you like tube door replacements for when you drive with the doors off? Which of the spare tire covers best matches your overall color palette? Let’s take a look at what you start with and what you can get for each model.

Base Trim

The Base trim is anything but basic, offering a grand array of standard features. That includes the high-strength HOSS 1.0 Suspension System, which is specially tuned for higher speeds and less challenging articulation, and a part-time selectable 4×4 system. With its 300 hp 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 engine, the Base model is ready whenever you are.

But what if you want a little more? Consider the Sasquatch package, which is optional on the Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, and Badlands models as well. It’s standard on the Heritage and Stroppe Editions. The Sasquatch Package includes Bilstein position-sensitive dampers, electronic-locking front and rear differentials, an advanced 4×4 system with automatic on-demand engagement, and a suspension system tuned for higher clearance. A Base model with the Sasquatch package is an affordable yet capable off-road Bronco.

Big Bend

Though the Big Bend model is offered as a four-door only, drivers do have the choice of the seven-speed manual or ten-speed automatic transmission. The Black Diamond name reappears here as an optional package. Adding the advanced 4×4 system, full vehicle steel bash plates, rock rails, washout-capable rubberized flooring, and an open front differential paired with an electronic-locking rear axle, models equipped with this package are prepared for when the going gets rough. 

For those looking for a more unique appearance, the Free Wheeling Package adds the vintage sunset-inspired ombre reflective stripes to your Bronco Big Bend, while the Black Appearance Package coordinates the exterior to the same shade of chic black.

Heritage Edition

If “unique” is your thing, the Heritage Edition provides drivers with plenty of ways to express their individuality. With the Sasquatch Package already loaded as standard equipment, drivers can personalize this model with a more powerful 330-hp 2.7L EcoBoost V6 Engine and plenty of style.

Bronco Heritage Edition models include some vintage paint options, such as a pale Robin’s Egg Blue, along with an exclusive Oxford White hard top. You can still elect for the optional twill or canvas soft tops under the hard top, of course. Inside, Heritage Edition models wear an exclusive plaid upholstery that’s subtle yet funky. 

Outer Banks

Stepping up to the Outer Banks trim unlocks a new array of exterior paint choices, including the opportunity to add a matte film to your Bronco, which gives it a stealthier appearance. You’ll also have your choice of marine-grade vinyl or leather-trimmed seats to round out your vision.

As with the Heritage Edition, drivers can choose between the 2.3L and 2.7L engine options. At this level, the Lux Package also becomes available, adding a 360-degree exterior camera, adaptive cruise control, and a 12-speaker Bang and Olufsen audio system to the Bronco Outer Banks.

Badlands 

Standard features for this trim include power-adjustable heated seats, an automatic dimming rearview mirror, a heated steering wheel, and auxiliary switches for external equipment. You can also add a 360-degree exterior camera, adaptive cruise control, and a 12-speaker Bang and Olufsen audio system to your Badlands Bronco. 

This is also where things get interesting for off-road drivers. The Badlands model includes a HOSS 2.0 Suspension system, which includes passive damping, twin-forged alloy A-arms, specifically tuned dampers, and an independent front suspension. This is also where the G.O.A.T. drive modes change. While the Base, Big Bend, Heritage, and Outer Banks models include Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, and Sand modes. The Badlands, Stroppe Edition, and Raptor drop the Sport mode and add Mud/Ruts, Baja, and Rock Crawl modes to help you overcome some serious terrain.

Stroppe Edition

Named after the famous Baja 1000 driver who took his Broncos all the way, the Stroppe Edition has more of everything. The more powerful engine, the Sasquatch Package, and even the 12-speaker audio system are standard here. The HOSS 3.0 Package is also standard, which includes a heavy-duty steering rack, FOX Live Valve 3.1 internal bypass semi-active dampers, and a rear stabilizer bar. A front stabilizer bar that disconnects at the push of a button is optional.

Raptor

This model is named the most powerful off-roader in the Bronco family for a reason. With its 3.0L V6 engine offering a very peppy 418 hp and custom full-vehicle heavy-duty bash plates, the Raptor seems pretty unstoppable. The HOSS 4.0 Suspension System is something of a legend in off-roading. Its real-time suspension telemetry and uniquely designed components smooth out even the rockiest roads. While the Raptor may seem to offer everything you could possibly want in an off-roading SUV, there are still options to be had, like the slide-out tailgate or tailgate table. Who doesn’t want a mid-trail snack?
