Performance & Capability
Under the hood of this 2025 Ford Bronco Badlands sits the powerful EcoBoost 2.7L V-6 engine, featuring port and direct injection along with twin turbochargers to deliver a robust 315HP.

Mated to a sophisticated 10-Speed Automatic Transmission, the Bronco ensures smooth power delivery whether you are cruising toward the bay or navigating a technical off-road path.
The capability of the Badlands trim is truly defined by its Four Wheel Drive system, featuring Automatic On-Demand Engagement and a Two-Speed Transfer Case. This setup allows for seamless transitions between driving modes, supported by the Terrain Management System which allows the driver to select the optimal calibration for the ground beneath them. To ensure you never get stuck when the pavement ends, this Bronco is equipped with both a Driver selectable front locking differential and a Driver selectable rear locking differential. The HOSS 2.0 off-road ride suspension utilizes Bilstein remote reservoir shock absorbers, providing incredible damping over washboard roads and rocky outcrops.

The Vinyl Black Seats are not only stylish but practical, featuring Marine Grade Vinyl that is easy to clean after a day at the lake. Both the driver and front passenger can enjoy Heated front seats, a must-have feature for those crisp Michigan mornings. The Heated steering wheel adds an extra layer of luxury when the temperature drops, ensuring your hands stay warm during the winter commute from Greilickville, MI.
Climate comfort is managed by the Dual-zone front climate control, allowing both occupants to set their preferred temperatures. The cabin is also highly functional, featuring 12V power outlets and a 1 interior 120V AC power outlet to run small electronics. For those who enjoy an open-air experience, the Hard Top features a Sound Deadening Headliner to keep the cabin quiet on the highway, while the first-row and second-row targa composite sunroofs are easily removable. Storage is abundant with a Locking floor console, Seatback storage pockets, and a Vinyl/rubber cargo area floor that stands up to heavy use.
Safety & Driver Assistance
Safety is paramount, whether you are navigating a busy intersection or a narrow forest trail. The Bronco Badlands is equipped with Ford Co-Pilot360, a suite of driver-assist technologies designed to enhance confidence. The BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert provides an extra set of eyes when changing lanes or backing out of tight parking spots. To help prevent accidents before they happen, the Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection and Forward collision warning monitor the road ahead and can apply Predictive brake assist if a potential impact is detected.
The vehicle also features a Lane-Keeping System to help you stay centered during long drives. When maneuvering in tight spaces, the Rear-View Camera and Rear parking sensors provide clear guidance to avoid obstacles. In the event of a collision, the Safety Canopy System provides overhead protection for both rows, part of a comprehensive 6 airbag system. Additional features like Post-Collision Braking and the Driver Alert monitor further demonstrate Ford's commitment to occupant protection.
Exterior & Design
Dressed in a commanding Shadow Black non-metallic paint, this Bronco Badlands looks every bit as tough as it performs. The front is highlighted by a Ford Performance Heavy-Duty Modular Front Bumper and a distinctive Gray grille, flanked by LED low and high beam headlights and LED daytime running lights. The rugged aesthetic is completed by 17-inch Carbonized Gray-Painted Aluminum wheels wrapped in aggressive LT285/70QR17 AT BSW tires, which are housed under High Clearance Fender Flares.
