Job #1 when developing the return of the Bronco was to make it as off-road capable as possible, with models within the lineup ranging from very to extremely capable. Having succeeded in that, Ford has responded to customer requests to make the Bronco a more congenial companion on the road. In response, Ford has produced a package or two that are sure to find audiences. Benna Ford gives you the rundown of Bronco changes for 2025.
“Our customers asked for a smarter, better equipped, and more stylish Bronco that was more livable everyday and just as capable of off-road adventures,” said Bronco Brand Manager Jason Hyde. “We responded with new standard technology and comfort features, heritage-inspired trims and options, and a durable exterior protection option, all so Bronco remains unmistakable on the road.”
Bigger and Better Tech
Topping the list of the new standard technology is that all 2025 Broncos now have the 12.0-inch digital gauge cluster introduced in the 2024 Bronco Raptor. Replacing the previous 8.0-inch display, the new display features vivid graphics, dedicated animations for each G.O.A.T. mode, and a more attractive presentation of basic driving information. Now all Broncos feature dual 12.0-inch display screens.
The previous 10-speaker audio system has been replaced by a Bang & Olufsen system featuring a more powerful amplifier, 12 high-quality speakers, and a new subwoofer. All four-door models now have air conditioning vents for second-row passengers. Additional interior lighting and sound insulation also improve the quietness of the ride. Even Sasquatch-equipped models can be quieter on the road with new 35-inch Goodyear Territory rugged terrain tires, which are quieter at highway speeds than the previously offered tires—without impacting off-road capability. The 2025 model line expands with the return of the base trim, a Stroppe Special Edition, and new packages to spice up existing models.
Stroppe Special Edition Brings the Baja 1000 to Your Driveway
The Stroppe Special Edition recalls the Stroppe Baja Broncos of the 60s and 70s that were tough and often victorious in the Baja 1000. “When you purchased a Stroppe Baja Bronco in 1971, it rolled out of Bill Stroppe’s factory ready to tackle the Baja 1000,” said Jason Hyde, Bronco brand manager. “That capability was at the core of our development process for the new Bronco Stroppe Special Edition, including Fox Internal Bypass Dampers designed for performance and improved control during high-speed desert running, a standard EcoBoost 2.7-liter V6 engine, and Baja G.O.A.T. Mode.”
Like the original, the Stroppe Special Edition is exclusive to the two-door model and includes modern off-road features the originals would have loved, such as Stabilizer Bar Disconnect, High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension 3.0 (HOSS 3.0), and 35-inch Goodyear Territory RT tires. The Edition has a modern take on the color scheme of the original, using an Atlas Blue roof, Code Orange sides, and Oxford White sandwiched in between, including the grille with Code Orange BRONCO lettering. Also, like the original, the hood is matte black to diffuse reflections from the desert sun.
Matte Finish for All Exterior Colors
You can now have a matte finish on every color the Bronco offers thanks to a Matte Clear Film that can be applied to any external color. There is also a new Black Package that features a black removable hardtop and applies molded-in black to:
- Fender flares
- Door handles
- Mirror caps
- Grille (with white BRONCO lettering)
The Black Package also adds gloss-black painted aluminum wheels with a black beadlock ring when combined with the Sasquatch Package.
Get Bold with the Free Wheeling Package
If you prefer more color on your Bronco, check out the wild Free Wheeling Package. Inspired by Ford’s Free Wheeling graphics on trucks, vans, and Broncos of the 70s and 80s, this package applies bold graphics on the sides, featuring a gradient from dark red through reds and oranges to golden yellow. The colors reappear on the seatbacks, with additional red trim on the dash and wheel rims. Upfront, the package features a unique silver grille with BRONCO in red-outlined lettering.
“Bronco has always been about fun and capability since day one and Free Wheeling’s looks kick that up a notch with its sunset inspired beach vibes,” said Steve Gilmore, Ford Vehicle Personalization chief designer.
Even more than before, there is a Bronco for every off-road adventurer, and you can find or order yours at Benna Ford.
