This twin-turbocharged powerhouse ensures you have plenty of low-end torque for crawling over obstacles or merging effortlessly onto the highway.

Heavy-duty LT285/70QR17 AT BSW tires wrap around the stylish wheels, providing the ultimate grip on mud, gravel, or snow.
Advanced Technology and Seamless Connectivity
Inside the cabin, the Bronco Badlands proves that rugged capability does not mean sacrificing modern convenience. The centerpiece of the dashboard is a stunning 12-inch primary display touchscreen running the intuitive SYNC 4 infotainment system. This setup features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, allowing you to mirror your smartphone's navigation and media apps without messy cables. Drivers will appreciate the 12-inch gauge cluster screen, which displays vital vehicle metrics and off-road telemetry in clear, high-definition detail. With the Ford Connectivity Package and a built-in virtual assistant, staying connected and in control is easier than ever.
