Since its debut in 2021, the Ford Bronco has maintained its strong presence in the market. While a complete redesign isn’t yet on the horizon, Ford is rolling out several updates for the 2025 model year to keep the Bronco competitive.

These changes include the return of the base trim, new special editions, and the addition of more standard features. Starting at $39,890, the new base model is $1,635 less expensive than its 2024 counterpart, making it more accessible for buyers.

The interior of the 2025 Bronco receives the most outstanding improvements, including the introduction of the 12.0-inch digital gauge cluster that was previously exclusive to the Raptor.

This new setup replaces the previous 8.0-inch screen and traditional speedometer. In addition, the digital cluster is paired with a 12.0-inch central touchscreen, which became standard last year.

Rear passengers in four-door models will benefit from new climate control vents on the center console, along with additional interior lighting and enhanced sound insulation, including an acoustic windshield.

Broncos with the Sasquatch package will now come equipped with 35-inch Goodyear Territory R/T tires, which Ford claims offer a quieter ride compared to the M/T tires used in previous models. Additionally, a new 12-speaker B&O sound system replaces the previous 10-speaker setup, complete with a new subwoofer and upgraded amplifier.

The Bronco lineup sees some changes as well. After being absent for a year, the base trim returns, available with both a manual transmission and the Sasquatch package. The Black Diamond trim is now available as a package on the Big Bend model, and the vibrant Free Wheeling package is offered on four-door Big Bends.

The Wildtrak trim has been replaced by the Stroppe Edition, and three new exterior colors—Marsh Gray, Desert Sand, and Ruby Red—are now available. A new Black Appearance package has also been introduced, featuring black side-view mirrors, fender flares, door handles, and grille with the “Bronco” logo in white.

Additionally, a black graphics package and a Shadow Black-painted removable hardtop complete the look. For Bronco models equipped with the Sasquatch package, gloss black aluminum wheels with a black beadlock ring are included.

Ford is also offering a Matte Clear Film as an option, which provides a matte finish to the paint while also serving as a protective wrap. Available for all two-door and four-door Broncos except the Raptor trim, it cannot be applied to models with decals or the Stroppe Edition. The 2025 Bronco is expected to begin deliveries in early 2025.
