2025 Ford Bronco Big Bend

The 2025 Bronco is Ford's dedicated off-road SUV, available in two-door and four-door body styles with a removable roof and doors. It squares off against the Jeep Wrangler and the Toyota 4Runner, with the Raptor version taking on the Wrangler 392. On pavement the Bronco feels composed for a body-on-frame SUV, with direct steering and strong brakes, though the ride is firm on rough roads. The cabin is functional and easy to clean, with washable surfaces and a simple layout, but rear-seat space is tight in two-door models. Standard tech includes a large touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a suite of driver assists like blind-spot monitoring. The Big Bend is the step up from the base Bronco, adding the 12-inch screen and a leather-wrapped steering wheel while still keeping the cloth soft top and manual locks. The 2.3L I4 makes 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque, and the seven-speed manual includes a granny gear for crawling and a crank-in-gear mode if the battery dies. The Big Bend rides on 32-inch all-terrain tires and the HOSS 1.0 suspension, so it handles trail work well but the ride is firmer on pavement.
