The 2025 Ford Bronco is already in dealerships

Ford began delivering the 2025 Bronco in late 2024, so the model is currently available for purchase rather than something you are waiting for. If you are shopping now, you can see them on dealer lots and test drive them. The rollout started with higher-trim models first, and lower-priced versions became available as production ramped up through the fall and winter.

Availability varies by dealership and trim level. Some dealers have multiple units in stock; others may have a waiting list. If you want a specific configuration — a particular color, interior, or feature package — your dealer can place a factory order, which typically takes several months to arrive.

Key Takeaways

  • The 2025 Bronco adds a new 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine option alongside the existing 3.0-liter V6, giving buyers a more fuel-efficient choice without sacrificing power.
  • The interior touchscreen expanded to 12 inches with faster infotainment software, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are now standard across all trims.
  • Pricing increased modestly across most trims, with the base Big Bend starting in the mid-$30,000 range and the Raptor exceeding $60,000.
  • Off-road capability and suspension geometry carry forward unchanged from 2024, so the core driving experience remains the same.
  • Factory orders typically take 8 to 12 weeks, and you can place one through any Ford dealer if you want a specific color or feature combination.

Engine and Performance Updates

The new EcoBoost engine is a 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged four-cylinder that produces 325 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. It pairs with a 10-speed automatic transmission and is available on most trim levels except the base Big Bend model. This engine uses less fuel than the standard 3.0-liter V6 (which remains available and produces 400 horsepower), making it a practical choice if you drive the Bronco on pavement more than off-road.

The V6 remains the default engine and is still the better choice if you plan to tow frequently or tackle heavy off-road terrain. Both engines connect to Ford's terrain management system, which adjusts throttle response, transmission behavior, and traction control based on whether you are driving on sand, rock, mud, or pavement. The V6 has been proven in the 2024 model year, while the EcoBoost is new to the Bronco lineup.

Interior Technology and Comfort

The 2025 model upgrades the central touchscreen to 12 inches (up from 8 inches on some 2024 models), and Ford replaced the infotainment software with a faster, more responsive version. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration is now standard across all trims, and the system responds to voice commands more reliably than before. The larger screen makes it easier to read maps and control climate settings while driving.

Seat materials improved slightly, with higher-end trims receiving leather that is easier to clean — a practical change for a vehicle that sees dirt and mud. The climate control system now includes rear-seat vents on higher trims, and the steering wheel is available with a heated option on more trim levels than in 2024. These comfort upgrades make longer drives and cold-weather driving more pleasant without changing the vehicle's core design.

Trim Levels and Pricing Structure

The 2025 Bronco lineup includes Big Bend, Black Diamond, Outer Banks, Wildtrak, and Raptor trims. The Big Bend is the entry-level model and comes with the 3.0-liter V6 only. The EcoBoost engine becomes available starting at the Black Diamond trim. Pricing varies by region and dealer, but the base Big Bend typically starts in the mid-$30,000 range, while the Raptor exceeds $60,000.

Each trim adds specific features: Black Diamond includes more off-road hardware like electronic locking differentials and skid plates, Outer Banks emphasizes comfort and technology with premium audio and leather, Wildtrak combines both off-road and comfort features, and Raptor adds performance suspension and unique styling. Ford also offers numerous factory packages that bundle features together, which can be more economical than adding options individually. Your dealer can show you which packages are available for each trim.

Off-Road Capability and Suspension

The 2025 Bronco carries forward the same four-wheel-drive system and suspension geometry as 2024, so off-road performance is unchanged. The standard suspension uses coil springs and independent front suspension, which provides a smoother highway ride than traditional solid axles. The Raptor variant uses Fox shock absorbers and a slightly stiffer setup designed for faster off-road speeds and more aggressive terrain.

All Broncos include electronic locking differentials front and rear, hill descent control, and the terrain management system mentioned earlier. The removable roof and doors remain standard features that let you customize the open-air experience. Ground clearance is 10.8 inches, and the approach and departure angles are designed to handle steep terrain without the bumpers catching. If you drove a 2024 Bronco off-road, the 2025 will feel nearly identical in capability.

How to Find and Order a 2025 Bronco

Start by visiting Ford's official website and using their dealer locator tool to find Broncos in stock near you. Call the dealer directly to confirm what they have available and whether it matches what you want. If nothing on the lot suits you, ask about factory ordering — the dealer can walk you through the process and give you a realistic timeline based on current production schedules.

Factory orders typically take 8 to 12 weeks, depending on how busy Ford's production schedule is and whether your configuration requires any special requests. You will usually need to put down a deposit to place a factory order, though the amount varies by dealer. Test drive a model on the lot first if possible, so you understand the driving position, visibility, and controls before committing to an order. Your dealer can also explain which colors and options have shorter or longer lead times.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 2025 Bronco significantly different from the 2024 model?

The changes are refinements rather than a complete redesign. The new EcoBoost engine and larger touchscreen are the most noticeable upgrades. If you are deciding between a 2024 and 2025, the choice depends on whether the new engine option or technology matters to you, since the core driving experience and off-road capability are very similar.

Which engine should I choose, the EcoBoost or the V6?

The EcoBoost is better if you drive mostly on roads and want better fuel economy. The V6 is better if you tow regularly, carry heavy loads, or spend significant time off-road. The V6 produces more torque and is proven in the 2024 model, while the EcoBoost is new to the Bronco and offers a good balance of power and efficiency for lighter use.

Can I still get a 2024 Bronco, or should I wait for 2025?

Some dealers still have 2024 inventory, and you may find better pricing on leftover stock. If the 2025 features matter to you, the new model is available now. If budget is your main concern, comparing prices on remaining 2024 units versus 2025 models at nearby dealers will show you which offers better value.

How long does a factory order take?

Most factory orders arrive within 8 to 12 weeks, though this varies based on Ford's production schedule and your specific configuration. Some colors and options may have longer lead times. Your dealer can give you a more precise estimate once you place the order.

What warranty comes with the 2025 Bronco?

Ford includes a three-year or 36,000-mile basic warranty and a five-year or 60,000-mile powertrain warranty on all new Broncos. Extended warranty options are available through Ford and third-party providers. Ask your dealer about the specific coverage details before you purchase.
