Background Info:

For off-road enthusiasts who demand next-level capability, the 2025 Ford Bronco Badlands is the go-to trim. Designed to handle the toughest trails, rocky paths, and deep mud, the Badlands trim stands out with its advanced suspension system, rugged features, and a purpose-built design. Whether you’re conquering Moab or testing your limits on challenging terrain, the Bronco Badlands is engineered to thrive where others hesitate.

Design Changes:

The 2025 Bronco Badlands builds on the Bronco’s rugged heritage with a more aggressive stance and off-road-ready enhancements. This year, the Badlands trim receives an upgraded HOSS (High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension) 2.0 system, increasing wheel articulation and delivering superior control on uneven surfaces. The heavy-duty modular front bumper now offers improved approach angles and integrates mounting points for off-road accessories. The interior is designed for durability, featuring marine-grade vinyl seats and rubberized washout flooring for easy cleanup after a muddy trail ride.

Key Features:

• 2.7L EcoBoost® V6 Engine (Optional): Producing 315 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque, the available 2.7L engine gives you even more muscle for off-road adventures.
• Bilstein™ Position-Sensitive Dampers: These high-performance shocks allow for superior control over extreme terrain.
• Front & Rear Locking Differentials: Automatically distributes power evenly to all wheels, maximizing traction in extreme off-road conditions.
• Disconnecting Front Sway Bar: A game-changer for rock crawlers, this feature increases wheel articulation for better grip on uneven terrain.
• 33-inch All-Terrain Tires: Standard on the Badlands, these tires give you the traction you need for any environment.
• G.O.A.T. Modes™ (Goes Over Any Terrain): The Badlands trim includes Rock Crawl mode, exclusive to this trim, along with Baja, Mud/Ruts, Sand, Slippery, Sport, and Normal.

Benefits:

If you’re serious about off-roading, the Bronco Badlands is the trim for you. It comes fully equipped with the mechanical upgrades needed to take on the roughest trails. Unlike the Big Bend, which is more balanced for everyday use, the Badlands prioritizes performance over luxury. The washout interior and marine-grade upholstery make cleanup a breeze after tackling muddy terrain. Plus, with front and rear locking differentials, you’ll have confidence in any environment, whether it’s deep snow, loose gravel, or steep inclines.

Color Options:

• Cyber Orange: A bold, high-energy color that reflects the Bronco’s adventurous spirit.
• Cactus Gray: A rugged, earthy tone that blends in with natural landscapes.
• Shadow Black: A sleek and commanding choice for those who want a stealthy look.
• Oxford White: Classic and clean, giving the Badlands a timeless appearance.
• Eruption Green: Inspired by the outdoors, this deep green hue is perfect for nature lovers.

Comparison:

The Badlands trim is the ultimate off-road package in the Bronco lineup, sitting above the Big Bend and Black Diamond trims in terms of capability. Unlike the Big Bend, which is designed for casual off-roading, the Badlands trim is built for extreme terrain. It also surpasses the Outer Banks trim, which prioritizes style and luxury features over hardcore off-road performance. If you’re looking for an even more extreme off-roader, the Raptor trim offers higher-output performance and wider stance for Baja racing.
