2027 Ford Bronco
The Ford Bronco has always been a little different than the average SUV. Removable doors and roof are only part of the appeal for drivers who like taking the long way to their destination. What's new for the Bronco in 2027, you ask? We have all the tea you need below!
Key Takeaways:
- Ford adds two new trims to the Bronco's lineup, which stays otherwise unchanged.
- For more power, the Bronco has an available twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 cranking out 330 ponies.
- Two- and four-door body styles provide seating for four or five passengers.
How Do the RTR and Filson Edition Expand the Bronco Family?
Two additions give Bronco shoppers new directions to consider for 2027. The RTR emphasizes off-road performance with a high-clearance suspension, 33-inch all-terrain tires, and anti-lag programming for the 2.3-liter turbocharged engine.
The Sasquatch package takes the RTR further with 35-inch tires and a HOSS 3.0 suspension featuring Fox internal bypass shocks. Exclusive styling includes 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, a unique grille, hood graphics, and Hyper Lime accents.
Ford takes a different approach with the Filson Edition. The special model draws design inspo from outdoor outfitter Filson and uses a detuned version of the Bronco Raptor's twin-turbocharged V6.
Can You Still Get a Manual Bronco?
You sure can! The turbocharged four-cylinder pairs a seven-speed manual transmission. A 330-hp twin-turbocharged 2.7-liter V6 is the other primary engine choice. Ford pairs the V6 exclusively with a 10-speed automatic transmission.
What Gives the Bronco Its Off-Road Ability?
A four-wheel-drive system allows drivers to engage additional traction as conditions require instead of relying only on AWD. The Bronco also uses independent front suspension and responsive steering. For more difficult trails, Ford offers front and rear locking differentials, a disconnecting anti-roll bar, beadlock-capable wheels, and 35-inch mud-terrain tires.
And inside, the emphasis is on materials that can handle outdoor use. Hard plastics are prominent, while rubberized flooring and marine-grade vinyl upholstery are available.
Can the Bronco Handle a Trailer?
Yes it can. Its max towing capacity is 3,500 pounds.
Does the Bronco’s Manual Transmission Change Its Fuel Economy Numbers?
It makes a small difference. Car and Driver lists the turbocharged four-cylinder (paired to an automatic transmission) at 18 mpg city and 22 mpg highway.
The seven-speed manual keeps its 18-mpg city rating but drops to 21 mpg on the highway. The V6-powered 2027 Ford Bronco Outer Banks gets 19 mpg city and 21 mpg highway.
Which Bronco Body Style Has More Room?
The two-door accommodates four passengers, including two adults in the rear. Choosing the four-door increases seating capacity to five and provides more rear legroom. Its longer body also offers more cargo flexibility. There's enough space in the four-door to store the removable doors in the cargo area. Doing the same in the two-door requires folding the rear seats.
How Does Sync 4 Work in the Bronco?
A 12-inch touchscreen houses Ford's Sync 4 infotainment system with Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Over-the-air software capability allows updates to be handled remotely. Built-in navigation and an upgraded audio system are also available depending on your choice of trim.
