Every Bronco starts with standard 4×4 and a 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder rated at 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque on premium fuel. Several trims offer a 7-speed manual for an old-school feel, and the available 10-speed automatic makes stop-and-go traffic on US-31 less tiring. For drivers who want more pull, the available 2.7L twin-turbo V6 puts out 330 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque on premium fuel and comes matched with the 10-speed automatic.
Then there’s the Raptor. Its 3.0L twin-turbo V6 makes 418 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque, backed by FOX Live Valve dampers and 37-inch tires that soak up rough terrain at speed. Most Bronco models can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped with dealer-installed towing equipment, while the Raptor is rated for up to 4,500 pounds. That covers a small camper or a loaded utility trailer.
The Bronco’s G.O.A.T. Modes, short for Goes Over Any Type of Terrain, match the drive system to conditions with a turn of a dial. Base, Big Bend, and Outer Banks come with five modes, including Slippery and Sand, which come in handy when January snow and slush cover the roads. Badlands and Raptor add Off-Road, Rock Crawl, and Baja for seven total.
Available Trail Control works like low-speed cruise control for tricky terrain, so you can focus on steering while the Bronco handles throttle and braking. Available Trail Turn Assist helps tighten your turning radius on narrow paths. Back in town, SYNC 4 with a 12-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keeps maps, music, and calls easy to reach.
Ford Co-Pilot360 is standard across the lineup, with forward collision warning, automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, and automatic high beams. Hill Start Assist and Trailer Sway Control come along too. The Mid Package, standard on Outer Banks and Raptor, adds blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alert and rear parking sensors, while the available Lux Package adds adaptive cruise control and a 360-degree camera.
Then comes the part everyone talks about. The doors and roof come off for warm evening drives. The 4-door seats up to five and offers up to 83.0 cubic feet of maximum cargo space with the soft top, while the 2-door seats four and provides up to 52.0 cubic feet of maximum cargo space. The available MOLLE strap system keeps small gear organized.
Put it all together, and the Bronco makes a strong case for drivers who want one vehicle for weekday errands and weekend trail days. From the simple charm of a Base model to the swagger of the Raptor, there’s a trim that fits the way you live.

The Ford Bronco can tow up to 3,500 pounds on most models when properly equipped with dealer-installed towing equipment, which is required for trailers over 2,000 pounds. The Raptor raises the maximum to 4,500 pounds. That’s enough for a small camper, a utility trailer, or a pair of jet skis.
The 4-door Bronco seats up to five and offers up to 83.0 cubic feet of maximum cargo space with the soft top. The 2-door seats four, rides on a shorter wheelbase, and is offered on the Base and Badlands trims. The shorter 2-door feels nimble on tight trails, while the 4-door makes more sense for families and road trips.
Badlands and Raptor are the most trail-focused Bronco trims. Badlands adds HOSS 2.0 suspension, 33-inch tires, and seven G.O.A.T. Modes, while the Raptor brings a 418-horsepower V6, FOX Live Valve dampers, and 37-inch tires.
