2027 Ford Bronco: Release Date, Price, New Engine, RTR and Filson

Last updated: October 10, 2026. This article will be updated as Ford releases full 2027 Bronco details.

The 2027 Ford Bronco is not a full redesign. It is the biggest update to the sixth-generation Bronco since it arrived for 2021. Ford has confirmed two new models, the off-road-focused Bronco RTR (from just over $50,000 before destination) and the upscale Bronco Filson (reported target price in the mid-$70,000s). Ford has also confirmed that the 2027 lineup gets a new engine, but has not said what it is. A hybrid is widely expected, but Ford has not confirmed one for 2027. RTR orders open in October 2026, with deliveries expected from January 2027. The Filson is due in showrooms in early 2027.

This guide covers what Ford has confirmed, what has only been reported, and what is still speculation. Each claim is labeled so you know how far to trust it.

Is the 2027 Ford Bronco a Redesign?

No. The current (sixth-generation) Bronco went on sale for the 2021 model year and has not had a full redesign or a formal mid-cycle refresh. In February 2026, Bronco engineer and development driver Seth Goslawski told The Drive that the 2027 model would get an “obvious” update that even casual observers would notice, but not a ground-up redesign. He said the changes have been kept incremental on purpose and are largely driven by owner feedback.

That approach makes sense from Ford’s point of view. The Bronco had a record sales year in 2025, with 146,007 units sold in the U.S., up nearly 34% from 2024. A popular design with strong demand rarely gets a major overhaul.

What the spy photos show (unconfirmed)

Camouflaged prototypes photographed in spring 2026 showed a fine-mesh grille, new wheels, rocker guards built into the side sills, and dash-top stitching similar to the Raptor’s. Some of these details, such as the upgraded dash, likely previewed the Filson. Spy photos are not official, so treat any styling changes for other trims as unconfirmed until Ford publishes the full 2027 lineup.

2027 Ford Bronco Engine: What Ford Has Said

In early October 2026, Ford told Ford Authority that the 2027 Bronco lineup will get “a new engine.” Ford gave no further details. According to that report, the new engine is not the RTR’s recalibrated 2.3-liter four-cylinder or the Filson’s version of the Raptor V6.

Current Bronco engines for reference

Until Ford announces the new engine, these are the Bronco engines you can buy today. The figures below are for the 2026 model year and are rated on premium fuel.

Will there be a 2027 Bronco Hybrid?

Possibly, but it is not confirmed for 2027. Here is what the evidence actually says:

  • In March 2026, Ford CEO Jim Farley said the Bronco will get a hybrid option. He also mentioned extended-range electric vehicles (EREVs) for towing.
  • Farley has said customers want “more power options,” such as the ability to run tools or camping gear from the vehicle. That hints at Ford’s Pro Power Onboard generator system, which is offered on F-150 hybrids.
  • In August 2026, Automotive News reported, based on its product roadmap, that a Bronco hybrid will arrive in 2027.
  • Ford’s “new engine” statement fits a hybrid, but Ford has not said so.

One likely template is the plug-in hybrid Ford Ranger sold in some markets outside the U.S. The Ranger shares its T6 platform with the Bronco, and its plug-in version pairs the 2.3-liter EcoBoost with an electric motor built into the transmission. This is an educated guess, not a Ford announcement.

Also note that the electrified “Bronco New Energy” sold in China is a different vehicle. Farley has ruled out that powertrain for the U.S.

What about a V8 Bronco?

There is no official sign of one. Ford said in 2020 that emissions rules made a V8 Bronco impractical. Some publications have speculated that looser fuel-economy rules could change that, but this is speculation. Shoppers who want a factory V8 off-roader should not plan around one.

2027 Ford Bronco RTR

The Bronco RTR was developed with RTR Vehicles, the company founded by pro drifter and off-road racer Vaughn Gittin Jr. It was revealed in January 2026 at the Detroit Auto Show. Think of it as a desert-running Bronco that sits between the Badlands and the much pricier Raptor.

RTR specs and features (confirmed)

  • Engine: 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder, 300 hp and 325 lb-ft, with RTR-specific anti-lag tuning that keeps the turbo spooled when you lift off the throttle. Output is the same as the regular 2.3L.
  • Body style: Four-door only.
  • Tires and wheels: 33-inch tires standard on 17-inch beadlock-capable RTR Evo 6 wheels. Ford says 33s are a first for a factory Bronco.
  • Suspension: A new higher-clearance suspension with a wider track.
  • Raptor hardware: A high-output (1,000-watt) cooling fan borrowed from the Bronco Raptor, plus a reinforced steering system and rock rails.
  • Styling: Squared-off fender flares, an RTR grille with LED lights, topographic graphics, and Hyper Lime accents inside and out.

RTR with the Sasquatch Package

The optional Sasquatch Package upgrades the RTR to 35-inch Goodyear tires and the HOSS 3.0 suspension with Fox internal bypass shocks.

RTR price and release date

Ford says the RTR starts at just over $50,000 before destination. A fully loaded RTR lands just under $60,000 before destination. The 2026 destination charge was $1,995, so expect the real starting price to be around $52,000. For comparison, the 2026 Bronco Raptor starts at $79,995 before destination. Ordering opens in October 2026, with deliveries expected from January 2027.

2027 Ford Bronco Filson

The Bronco Filson is a collaboration with Filson, the Seattle outdoor-gear brand founded in 1897. Ford revealed it on June 3, 2026. It is the most comfort-focused Bronco so far and is aimed at buyers who want serious off-road hardware with a quieter, nicer cabin.

Filson engine and performance

The Filson uses the Raptor’s twin-turbo 3.0L EcoBoost V6 with its own tune. A 10-speed automatic is expected, as in the Raptor. Ford has not published official output figures, and reports disagree:

  • One early report listed the Raptor’s 418 hp and 440 lb-ft.
  • Filson chief engineer Ed Krenz later said output will be lower than the Raptor’s because the Filson’s quieter exhaust restricts airflow, but still a big step up from the 2.7L V6.

The engineer’s statement is the stronger source, so expect less than 418 hp until Ford publishes final numbers. Ford says the Filson reaches 60 mph about half a second sooner than a Bronco with the 2.7L V6.

Filson off-road hardware

The Sasquatch Package is standard. It includes front and rear electronic locking differentials, Fox internal bypass shocks with a Filson-specific tune, 35-inch tires, and Ford’s G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) drive modes. Two Raptor and Badlands features are missing: the Filson has no paddle shifters and no sway bar disconnect.

Filson interior and comfort

  • Quilted, perforated leather seats inspired by Filson jacket liners
  • Leather-wrapped dash with brass accents
  • Ventilated front seats and heated rear seats, both new for the Bronco
  • Removable, water- and dirt-resistant saddle bags in the doors, with magnetic closures
  • Acoustic glass, new seals, and extra insulation. Ford says perceived wind noise is down nearly 20% versus a 2021 Bronco
  • Power-deployable running boards and a camera-based rearview mirror
  • 12-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen, 360-degree camera, and an upgraded B&O audio system

The interior materials are Filson-inspired rather than Filson’s own waxed cotton and bridle leather. According to Edmunds, those materials did not meet automotive fire and UV requirements.

Filson colors and First Edition

Colors are Field Green Metallic (Filson exclusive), Marsh Gray, Avalanche Gray, Desert Sand, Shadow Black, and Oxford White. The Filson First Edition adds exclusive Iron Sands Copper Metallic paint, a unique fender badge, a serialized console badge, and Filson-inspired cargo storage bags.

Filson price and release date

Ford has not published a final MSRP. Edmunds and other outlets covering the launch report a target starting price in the mid-$70,000s, just below the Raptor. Orders open in fall 2026, and vehicles are expected in showrooms in early 2027.

2027 Bronco Price: Where Each Model Fits

Ford has not released pricing for the full 2027 lineup. The table below combines the 2026 prices of existing trims with the announced or reported 2027 RTR and Filson figures. All prices are before the destination charge, so expect 2027 prices for carryover trims to change slightly.

In short, the RTR is for buyers who want an off-road look and real trail upgrades without paying Raptor money. The Filson is for buyers who want a Bronco they can live with every day and still take off-road. The Raptor remains the choice for maximum suspension travel and power.

2027 Ford Bronco Trim Levels Explained

Ford has not yet published the full 2027 trim list. The RTR and Filson are confirmed additions, and the trims below are expected to carry over from 2026 unless Ford says otherwise. Here is what each one is built for, so you can match a trim to how you actually drive.

Base

The Base trim is the entry point, offered as a two-door or four-door with the 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. It keeps the Bronco’s core strengths, including removable doors and roof, a solid rear axle, independent front suspension, and four-wheel drive, while skipping most comfort extras. It suits buyers who plan to add their own aftermarket parts or simply want the Bronco look and capability at the lowest price.

Big Bend

Big Bend adds more everyday features than the Base for only a small price increase, which makes it one of the better values in the lineup. It is now a four-door-only trim. Many owners use it as a starting point for a mild build, and it is also the trim several dealers and reviewers compare most often with the new RTR.

Outer Banks

Outer Banks is the comfort-oriented, road-trip Bronco. It emphasizes nicer interior materials, body-colored exterior trim, and more convenience features. It is a good fit if most of your driving is on pavement and you only plan light trail use. The 2.7-liter V6 is available for buyers who want stronger acceleration.

Badlands

Badlands is the serious off-road trim among the regular models. It comes with off-road-focused hardware, including front and rear locking differentials, upgraded suspension, and the full set of seven G.O.A.T. drive modes. For 2026, Ford made the front stabilizer bar disconnect optional on Badlands models without the Sasquatch Package. Badlands is available as a two-door or four-door.

Heritage Edition

The Heritage Edition leans into classic first-generation Bronco styling, with retro graphics, a white-painted grille and wheels, and heritage-inspired color combinations. For 2026, Ford allowed the Heritage to be ordered with the 2.3-liter engine and 10-speed automatic. In 2025 it required the 2.7-liter V6.

Stroppe Edition

The Stroppe Edition honors Bill Stroppe, whose team raced early Broncos in Baja. It combines retro red, white, and blue graphics with serious off-road hardware and the 2.7-liter V6. It became four-door only for 2026.

RTR (new for 2027)

As covered above, the RTR is a desert-running, four-door Bronco with 33-inch tires, an anti-lag-tuned 2.3-liter engine, Raptor cooling hardware, and an optional Sasquatch Package. It fills the gap between the Badlands and the Raptor.

Filson (new for 2027)

The Filson is the quietest and most upscale Bronco, with a detuned Raptor V6, a standard Sasquatch Package, and a leather-rich cabin. It sits just below the Raptor in price.

Raptor

The Bronco Raptor remains the flagship performance model. It has the most power (418 hp), 37-inch tires, a wider body, the highest ground clearance, and Fox Live Valve semi-active shocks. It is the right choice only if you plan to use its high-speed off-road ability. Otherwise, the RTR or Badlands delivers most of the trail capability for far less money.

Bronco Off-Road Hardware Explained

Bronco shoppers run into a lot of Ford-specific terms. Here is what the most important ones mean in plain English.

Sasquatch Package

Sasquatch is Ford’s factory off-road upgrade package. Since the 2021 launch, it has included 35-inch tires on 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, a shorter 4.7:1 final-drive ratio that improves low-speed crawling and helps turn the bigger tires, front and rear electronic locking differentials, high-clearance fender flares, and upgraded suspension. On the 2027 lineup, Sasquatch is optional on the RTR and standard on the Filson.

HOSS suspension levels

HOSS stands for High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension. Ford offers several levels, and the exact availability by trim has changed from year to year:

  • HOSS 1.0: Conventional twin-tube shocks tuned by Ford. Used on entry and comfort trims.
  • HOSS 2.0: Bilstein position-sensitive monotube shocks with remote reservoirs. Found on Badlands and Sasquatch-equipped models.
  • HOSS 3.0: Fox 2.5-inch internal-bypass shocks that firm up as the suspension compresses, for better control over big bumps at speed. Ford expanded its availability in 2025, and it comes with the RTR’s Sasquatch Package.
  • HOSS 4.0: Fox 3.1-inch Live Valve semi-active shocks that adjust in real time. Exclusive to the Bronco Raptor.

G.O.A.T. modes

G.O.A.T. stands for “Goes Over Any Type of Terrain.” These are drive modes that change throttle response, transmission shifting, traction control, and four-wheel-drive behavior. Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, and Heritage models get five modes: Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, and Sand. Badlands, Stroppe, and Raptor models get seven: Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, Off-Road, Rock Crawl, and Baja. The Filson also gets the seven-mode set.

Trail Toolbox

Ford’s Trail Toolbox is a group of low-speed off-road assists:

  • Trail Control: Works like cruise control for trails. It holds a set low speed so you can focus on steering.
  • Trail Turn Assist: Brakes the inside rear wheel during tight, slow turns to shrink the turning circle on narrow trails.
  • Trail 1-Pedal Drive: Applies the brakes automatically when you lift off the accelerator, making rock crawling smoother with one foot.

Locking differentials and sway bar disconnect

A locking differential forces both wheels on an axle to turn together, so the Bronco keeps moving even when one tire is in the air or on slippery ground. A sway bar disconnect lets the front axle articulate more freely at low speeds, keeping tires on the ground over uneven rocks. The Filson skips the disconnect because Ford tuned it more for on-road comfort.

Fuel Economy, Towing, and Safety

The EPA has not yet published 2027 Bronco ratings. For reference, 2026 Broncos with the 2.3L four-cylinder are rated around 18 mpg city and 22 mpg highway, while the Raptor is rated around 15 city and 16 highway. Expect the Filson to fall closer to the Raptor than to the four-cylinder models.

Most current Broncos are rated to tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped, and the Bronco Raptor is rated for 4,500 pounds. A hybrid with Pro Power Onboard, if it arrives, could change the Bronco’s capability story more than towing would.

On safety, the 2026 Bronco carries a 4-star frontal crash rating and a 3-star rollover rating from NHTSA. Ratings for 2027 have not been published. You can check the latest results on NHTSA.gov.

Dimensions, Cargo Space, and Off-Road Numbers

The 2027 Bronco keeps the current body, so its dimensions should match the 2026 model closely. Ford has not yet published 2027-specific figures for the RTR and Filson. The numbers below are Ford’s 2026 specifications.

Specification2-door4-doorRaptor
Length173.7 in189.4 in191.0 in
Wheelbase100.4 in116.1 inNot listed
Ground clearance (Base)8.3 in8.4 in13.1 in
Ground clearance (Sasquatch)11.6 in11.5 inn/a
Max water fording33.5 in33.5 in37 in
Max towing3,500 lb3,500 lb4,500 lb
Cargo behind rear seat20.6 cu ft33.3 to 38.3 cu ftVaries
Max cargo space52.0 cu ft72.8 to 83.0 cu ftVaries

Two practical takeaways stand out. First, the four-door has about 60% more cargo space behind the rear seat than the two-door, which matters for families and camping gear. Second, the Sasquatch Package adds more than 3 inches of ground clearance and much steeper approach and departure angles. With Sasquatch, a four-door’s approach angle rises from 35.7 to 43.3 degrees, which makes a real difference on steep ledges. Most Bronco trims need the Trailer Tow Prep Package to reach the 3,500-pound towing limit, so check the window sticker if you plan to tow.

Interior and Technology

The Bronco’s cabin is designed to be used outdoors. Doors and roof panels come off, and the interior is built to tolerate dust and the occasional splash. Current models offer a 12-inch center touchscreen running Ford’s SYNC 4 system, along with a 12-inch digital instrument cluster. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported, and the Filson adds onX off-road trail maps through those phone apps.

Ford has steadily added comfort features in response to owner feedback. Recent updates include standard ambient footwell lighting, heated steering wheels on more trims, A-pillar grab handles on every trim, and wider availability of auxiliary switches for accessories such as light bars. The Filson goes further, with the first ventilated front seats and heated rear seats offered in a Bronco, plus extra sound insulation.

Spy photos of 2027 prototypes suggested upgraded dash materials and stitching. Ford has confirmed these for the Filson, but not yet for other trims.

2027 Ford Bronco vs. Jeep Wrangler

The Jeep Wrangler is the Bronco’s direct rival. Both are body-on-frame SUVs with removable doors and roofs, two- and four-door versions, and strong off-road hardware. The table below compares the 2026 Wrangler with the Bronco lineup, since 2027 specs for both are still being finalized.

Ford BroncoJeep Wrangler
Base engine2.3L turbo I-4, 300 hp / 325 lb-ft3.6L V6, 285 hp / 260 lb-ft (2.0L turbo I-4 with 270 hp also offered)
Top engine3.0L twin-turbo V6, 418 hp (Raptor)6.4L V8, 470 hp (limited-production 392 models)

Max towing3,500 lb (4,500 lb Raptor)Up to 3,500 lb (four-door)
Starting price (2026)About $40,500 before destinationAbout $39,000

Key differences

  • On-road ride: The Bronco’s independent front suspension generally gives it steadier steering and a smoother highway ride than the Wrangler’s solid front axle.
  • Extreme rock crawling: The Wrangler’s solid front axle offers excellent articulation, which hardcore rock crawlers often prefer, especially in Rubicon form.
  • Power: The Bronco’s base four-cylinder makes more horsepower and torque than the Wrangler’s base V6. The Wrangler still offers a V8 in limited 392 models, which Ford does not.
  • Electrification: This is where 2027 could shift the rivalry. Jeep has stopped producing the Wrangler 4xe plug-in hybrid. If Ford launches a Bronco hybrid, the Bronco would become the only electrified option in this specific segment.
  • Doors and roof: Both offer removable doors. The Bronco’s frameless door design lets the side mirrors stay on the body when the doors come off.

Bronco vs. Bronco Sport: Don’t Confuse Them

The Bronco Sport is a different, smaller vehicle that shares the Bronco name. Many searches for “2027 Bronco” are really about the Bronco Sport, so here is the difference:

Ford BroncoFord Bronco Sport
ConstructionBody-on-frame, like a pickupUnibody, like a crossover
Engines2.3L I-4, 2.7L V6, 3.0L V61.5L turbo three-cylinder (180 hp) or 2.0L turbo four-cylinder (250 hp)
Removable doors and roofYesNo
Max towing3,500 to 4,500 lb2,200 to 2,700 lb
Starting price (2026)About $40,500 before destinationAbout $33,840 (KBB-listed MSRP)

Choose the Bronco if you want serious off-road capability, a removable roof and doors, or the RTR, Filson, or Raptor. Choose the Bronco Sport if you want a more affordable, efficient, compact SUV that can still handle dirt roads and light trails.

Warranty, Recalls, and Reliability

Warranty

Ford’s current Bronco warranty coverage is expected to carry over for 2027:

  • Bumper-to-bumper: 3 years or 36,000 miles
  • Powertrain: 5 years or 60,000 miles
  • Safety restraint system: 5 years or 60,000 miles
  • Corrosion (perforation only): 5 years, unlimited miles
  • Roadside assistance: 5 years or 60,000 miles

A new hybrid powertrain, if it arrives, would likely come with additional coverage for its hybrid components, as Ford’s other hybrids do. Ford has not announced this yet.

Recalls

The current-generation Bronco has had a number of recalls since 2021, which is common for a new vehicle platform. One recent example is NHTSA campaign 25V788, issued in November 2025, which covers about 229,609 Bronco and Bronco Sport vehicles. The instrument cluster could fail to display warning lights or speed at startup, and the fix is a free software update by a dealer or over the air.

Before buying any Bronco, new or used, enter its 17-digit VIN at NHTSA.gov to check for open recalls. Recalls for the 2027 model will only appear after it goes on sale.

Reliability

Reliability data for the 2027 model does not exist yet. New models like the RTR and Filson share most of their mechanical parts with existing Broncos, which usually helps. A brand-new powertrain, such as a hybrid, carries more first-year uncertainty. If reliability is your top priority, consider waiting a few months after launch to see early owner reports.

Cost of Ownership: Fuel, Insurance, and Resale

Fuel

Ford rates Bronco horsepower on premium fuel. The engines run on regular gasoline, but with slightly less power. Expect real-world fuel economy to drop further with bigger tires, lift kits, roof racks, or a removed hardtop. 35-inch and 37-inch tires add weight and aerodynamic drag.

Insurance

Insurance costs for a Bronco depend heavily on your location, driving record, and trim. High-value trims such as the Filson and Raptor generally cost more to insure than a Base or Big Bend. Removable doors and roof panels can also raise theft and damage concerns. Get quotes for the exact trim before you commit. You can start with our car insurance calculator without personal info.

Resale value

The Bronco has had strong demand since launch, and 2025 was its best U.S. sales year with 146,007 units sold. Strong demand usually supports resale values, but it can also mean dealer markups on new, popular versions like the RTR and Filson. Compare offers from several dealers, and ask for invoice or MSRP pricing in writing.

A Short History of the Ford Bronco

Ford introduced the original Bronco for the 1966 model year as a compact, go-anywhere utility vehicle. Later generations grew larger and shared parts with the F-Series pickup, and the Bronco was discontinued after the 1996 model year.

The nameplate returned in 2020, when Ford revealed the sixth-generation Bronco for the 2021 model year. It came back with modern technology but kept the original’s boxy shape, round headlights, and removable roof and doors. Ford added the high-performance Bronco Raptor for 2022 and has introduced several special editions since, including the Heritage Edition and the Stroppe Edition. The 2027 RTR and Filson continue that strategy of building distinct personalities on the same core platform.

Ford has also tested other directions for the brand. A Bronco-branded electrified SUV, the Bronco New Energy, is sold in China and is unrelated to the U.S. model. Ford Authority has reported, citing industry roadmaps, that a Bronco pickup could arrive by the end of the decade. Neither is part of the 2027 U.S. lineup.

Should You Wait for the 2027 Bronco?

  • Wait if you want the RTR or Filson, the new engine, or a possible hybrid. None of these are available on a 2026 Bronco.
  • Buy a 2026 if you are happy with the current engines and trims. With the 2027 models arriving, dealers may offer incentives on remaining 2026 stock.
  • Be cautious with early RTR and Filson orders if price matters. Dealer markups are common on new, in-demand Broncos.

Frequently Asked Questions

When does the 2027 Ford Bronco come out?
