The Ultimate Guide to Ford Bronco Trim Levels
The Ford Bronco is back, and it’s better than ever. Built for off-road enthusiasts, the Ford Bronco lineup offers everything from trail-ready base models to high-performance beasts like the Ford Bronco Raptor. Whether you're looking for a weekend adventure vehicle or a rock-crawling machine, choosing the right trim level is key. Let’s break down the standard and premium features of these trim levels, but most importantly, help you find the best fit.
Base Model: A Solid Foundation
The base model Ford Bronco is a no-frills, mod-ready platform built for adventure. Its standard features come with 16-inch steel wheels, terrain tires, marine-grade vinyl seats, an 8-inch touchscreen with SYNC 4, and Android Auto. Five G.O.A.T.(Goes Over Any Terrain) modes provide traction for a variety of terrains, while the high-strength steel frame ensures durability. If you’re looking for a Bronco that’s ready for upgrades and customization, this is your perfect starting point.
Big Bend: Comfort Meets Capability
Stepping up to the Big Bend trim adds convenience features without sacrificing off-road potential. This model upgrades to 17-inch aluminum wheels, LED fog lamps, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and a sixth G.O.A.T. mode for sportier handling. Heated mirrors and remote start add comfort for daily driving, while its off-road performance remains strong. If you need a balance between weekday practicality and weekend adventure, Big Bend is a solid choice.
Black Diamond: Built for the Tough Trails
The Ford Bronco Black Diamond trim is made for serious off-road use. Heavy-duty steel bumpers, rock rails, and skid plates protect vital components, making it trail-ready straight from the factory. It rolls on 17-inch black-painted steel wheels with 32-inch all-terrain tires, offering excellent grip on rugged terrain. Seven terrain management system modes, including Rock Crawl, enhance off-road control. Black Diamond is for drivers who demand absolute accuracy when tackling unpredictable trails.
Outer Banks: Off-Roading in Style
For those who want off-road capability with added refinement, the Bronco Outer Banks trim delivers. Body-colored fender flares, LED signature lighting, and 18-inch black-painted aluminum wheels give it a premium look, while leather-trimmed seats and a 12-inch touchscreen provide a luxurious interior experience. If you want a stylish daily driver that still delivers solid off-road performance, Outer Banks is an excellent choice.
Badlands: The Ultimate Trail Conqueror
The Ford Bronco Badlands trim is engineered for extreme off-roading. It features an advanced terrain management system with additional G.O.A.T. modes (Goes Over Any Terrain), a front stabilizer bar disconnect for increased articulation, and Bilstein position-sensitive dampers. Its aggressive terrain tires and steel bumper setup allow it to handle the toughest trails with ease. If you’re serious about rock crawling and trail riding, Badlands is your go-to trim.
Wildtrak: High-Speed Desert Performance
For those who love high-speed desert runs, the Wildtrak trim is the best fit. It comes with the Sasquatch package, featuring 35-inch mud-terrain tires, front and rear locking differentials, and tuned suspension. Powered by the 2.7L EcoBoost V6, it produces 330 horsepower, making it one of the most powerful models in the lineup. If open terrain and fast off-road travel excite you, Wildtrak is your perfect match.
Everglades: Built for Water Crossings
Designed for deep-water adventures, the Bronco Everglades trim features a factory-installed snorkel, raised vent lines, and a standard WARN winch. With enhanced water-fording capabilities and extra durability, this model is perfect for tackling muddy and swampy terrains. If you love unpredictable environments and need a Bronco that can handle it all, Everglades is the way to go.
Bronco Raptor: Extreme Off-Road Power
The Ford Bronco Raptor is the pinnacle of off-road performance. It features a widened stance, FOX suspension, and 37-inch terrain tires for ultimate control on any terrain. Powered by a 3.0L EcoBoost engine, it’s built to dominate the trails with superior speed, power, and agility. If you’re looking for the most capable and extreme Bronco in the lineup, this is it.
Heritage Edition: A Classic Reimagined
The Heritage Edition pays tribute to the classic Bronco with retro-inspired design elements like white fender flares, plaid seats, and unique badging. While it embraces nostalgia, it still offers modern tech like a 12-inch touchscreen and enhanced off-road capability. For those who appreciate vintage style with modern features, this trim is a must-have.
