With a rich history dating back to the 1960s, the Bronco has long been a favorite among off-road enthusiasts and adventurers. After the grand comeback in 2021, Ford is raising the stakes with the 2025 model.

Spoiler alert—you’ll want to keep reading to find out why this beast is a must-have and why you might just curse the day you bought one (but in a fun way of course).

Release Date: When Can You Get Your Hands on It?

The big question everyone has been asking: When is the 2025 Ford Bronco dropping? Well buckle up because Ford has officially announced that the 2025 Bronco will hit dealership lots by late summer 2024. Yes, you read that right. While it may seem like an eternity away for diehard fans, it's closer than you think!

The Sneak Peek Test Drives

If you can't wait until late summer to see it in person Ford will also be offering sneak peek test drives starting in early spring 2024. So if you're eager to get behind the wheel and tear up some trails you might just want to sign up for one of those test drives. But remember... the demand is expected to be insane so be sure to get in line early.

What’s New for the 2025 Model?

Ford promises to make the 2025 Bronco the ultimate adventure SUV, loaded with cutting-edge features, powerful engine choices, and some seriously cool tech updates. Let’s dive into the best of what’s to come:

1. Enhanced Engine Options

Ford isn’t holding back with the engine options this time around. The 2025 Bronco will offer:

• 2.7-liter V6 EcoBoost: Producing up to 330 horsepower, perfect for those who want power without sacrificing efficiency.
• 3.0-liter V6 twin-turbo: A new option aimed at boosting performance, offering an impressive 400 horsepower for serious off-roaders.
• And if rumors are true, a hybrid version is in the works too. Ford has been teasing this option but hasn’t confirmed anything just yet.

Now here's the fun part: more power means more... fuel stops! Get ready to know every gas station within a 100-mile radius because the mileage isn't exactly going to wow you. It's a small price to pay when you're cruising in a powerhouse though.

2. Updated Tech Features

The 2025 Bronco is set to get a ton of new tech upgrades, making it both smart and rugged at the same time. Some of the highlights include:

• Ford’s SYNC 5 infotainment system: An upgraded user interface that promises faster response times and more intuitive features.
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto: Now standard across all trims because who still uses cords these days anyway?
• Off-Road Navigation: A new advanced system that maps out trails and off-road paths in real-time so you won’t get stuck in the middle of nowhere unless that’s exactly where you want to be.

But here's where it gets funny—yes it's all great until the screen inevitably freezes up while you’re knee-deep in mud trying to figure out how to get back home. And yes you’ll probably swear at it for a minute before it kicks back to life. But hey, no adventure is complete without some hiccups, right?

3. Wild New Exterior Colors

A new year means new looks! The 2025 Ford Bronco will introduce some bold new color options such as:

• Cyber Orange
• Velocity Blue
• Cactus Gray

These colors are designed to make your Bronco stand out on and off the road. But if you’re like me and can’t decide whether you want your SUV to look like a superhero's sidekick or blend in with the trees... good luck choosing.

Trims and Pricing: What’s the Best Bang for Your Buck?

When it comes to trim levels, Ford continues to offer a wide variety of choices, making sure there’s a Bronco for everyone’s taste and budget. The 2025 model is expected to continue the same trim lineup with slight improvements and perhaps a couple of surprises. Here’s a breakdown:

1. Base Model

Starting at an estimated $35,000 the base Bronco offers a no-frills approach to off-roading, though you'll still get the standard 4x4 drive, a manual transmission, and plenty of adventure-ready features.

Drawback: You’ll feel like you got a steal of a deal until you start adding in options. Then suddenly you’re asking yourself if you’re buying a Bronco or a small vacation home.

2. Big Bend

For those looking to balance comfort and capability, the Big Bend trim priced around $40,000 is a solid choice. You get some of the nicer interior features plus extra off-road gadgets.

Drawback: The name sounds like an amusement park ride but the real thrill is navigating narrow trails where you start second-guessing that wider frame.

3. Wildtrak

With a starting price around $55,000 the Wildtrak is for serious adventurers who want all the bells and whistles. You’ll get Ford’s Sasquatch Package which includes 33-inch tires, advanced suspension, and more.

Drawback: You’ll be off-roading like a champ but once you see the insurance bill for all that equipment you might wish you’d stuck to biking.

4. Everglades Edition

This special edition Bronco comes with a snorkel for water crossings and a winch for pulling yourself out of sticky situations. It starts at $60,000.

Drawback: Don’t be surprised if your friends start calling you “that guy” when they see the snorkel... and no you can't use it to scuba dive either.

Interior: Rugged Meets Refined

Inside the 2025 Bronco you’ll find a great blend of ruggedness and comfort. Ford designed the interior to be practical yet modern with easy-to-clean surfaces and plenty of room for gear.

The Seats

You’ll love the marine-grade vinyl seating option which is perfect for those days when your Bronco looks like it’s been through a mud wrestling match. If you’re going for the leather option though... just don’t spill anything. You’ll be paying the price at the detailer later!

The Dashboard

The dashboard comes with a 12-inch touchscreen as standard in higher trims while base models feature an 8-inch screen. Either way, you’re getting the latest tech features but be prepared for that classic dashboard glare when the sun hits just right.

What Are People Saying?

I sat down with Alex Collantes a Ford enthusiast who had this to say about the upcoming model:

"I’m super excited about the 2025 Bronco. The engine options look amazing and I’m definitely curious to see how the hybrid performs off-road. But let’s be real... the colors are what really sold me. Who doesn’t want to drive a Cyber Orange SUV through the desert? It just screams adventure!"

Alex's Final Thoughts: "I might wait for the first batch to roll out though. You never know if the early models will have a few bugs... like you know... the stereo blasting music randomly while you're trying to enjoy nature."

Potential Drawbacks (With a Laugh)

No car is perfect and even though we’re raving about the 2025 Ford Bronco there are always a few funny quirks and potential drawbacks that could pop up:

1. Fuel Economy

Let’s face it—you’re not buying a Bronco for the MPG numbers. Expect to be in the high teens for fuel economy if you’re lucky. If you’re tackling rough terrain regularly you might want to start a separate gas fund. Maybe ask for a Costco membership for Christmas this year?

2. Size Matters

With its wide stance the Bronco is fantastic off-road but might give you a hard time parking at your local grocery store. Good luck fitting into those tiny parking spots without becoming “that person” who takes up two spaces.

3. Noise

The removable roof is a highlight but be prepared for wind noise that might have you cranking up the stereo just to drown it out. On the plus side the open-air experience is totally worth it!

Conclusion: Should You Buy the 2025 Ford Bronco?

In a word: Yes! The 2025 Ford Bronco continues to build on the success of its previous models adding more power more tech and even more adventure-ready features. Sure it has a few drawbacks like fuel economy and the occasional tech hiccup but that’s all part of the fun right?

Bottom Line: If you’re looking for a rugged SUV that can handle anything you throw at it (and still look cool doing it) the 2025 Bronco is a top contender. Just be ready for a few funny stories to tell when things don’t go exactly as planned!

And remember as Alex Collantes said: “You buy a Bronco for the adventure not the smooth ride home!”
