If off-roading is your life, you will aim for the Ford Bronco. If off-roading is simply an enjoyable pastime or a means to an end to get to a favorite camping or fishing spot while the rest of the time, you need an efficient crossover, the Bronco Sport is for you. For 2025, Benna Ford is pleased to tell you that the capability gap between the Bronco Sport and its bigger sibling has become narrower as it now has its own Sasquatch Package.
The Bronco Sport Advantage
Car and Driver states it quite clearly in their review overview: “If you’re looking for a small SUV with off-road capability, the one with the most to offer is the 2025 Ford Bronco Sport.” Ford has an advantage by offering two models in the compact crossover segment. The Escape covers the conventional compact crossover territory as a comfortable model whose owners are expected primarily to use the available AWD system to optimize on-pavement traction. That leaves the Bronco Sport to channel the spirit of the model with which it shares its name by having standard all-wheel drive and offering better clearances for off-pavement use or when the pavement is buried in yet-to-be-plowed snow.
“Bronco Sport customers love the outdoors and go off-roading 3.5 times as often as the owners of competitive vehicles, and camping twice as often. They want to know they can overcome obstacles that come their way, which drove our designers and engineers to push Bronco Sport to a new level of capability and performance to let our customers do more and have more fun off-road.”- Matt Simpson, Ford Enthusiast Vehicles General Manager.
New Sasquatch Package
The new for 2025 Sasquatch Package is available on the Outer Banks and Badlands grades, which are already equipped with a suspension lift and skid plates, with the Badlands adding a twin-clutch rear axle with a locking differential. The Sasquatch package adds the twin-clutch rear axle and locking differential to the Outer Banks model. It adds to both grades steel bumpers with the front bumper overlayed by a formidable steel skid plate with additional protection via a large front bull bar. Two rear recovery hooks are built into the steel rear bumper, and the whole package rides on knobby 29-inch 235/65/R17 Goodyear Territory All-Terrain tires, which are the largest in the class.
The package adds Bilstein rear dampers on the Badlands model, including position-sensitive damping and piggyback reservoirs. For the Badlands model, the package also provides new front and rear springs that increase ride height by four-tenths of an inch and offer up to 8.3 inches of front suspension travel with 8.7 inches for the rear.
Enhanced G.O.A.T. Modes
Every Bronco Sport model comes standard with a new Off-Road G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) Mode. Badlands models add a new Rally Mode designed to optimize high-speed sand running by holding gears longer for increased accessible power, sharpening the throttle response, and increasing feedback through the steering. Also available for 2025 is a 360-degree Camera with a Trail View. It engages automatically when Off-Road or Rally G.O.A.T. Modes are selected to show width-accurate tire overlays showing where the tires are headed to help you avoid obstacles.
Walking the Talk
While competing compact crossovers offer “off-road” trims that are little more than appearance packages with all-terrain tires, the Bronco Sport with the Sasquatch Package is the real deal, providing unmatched capability in the class.
