Not only is the 2027 Ford Bronco ready for off-road adventure, but it also introduces two new trim models to help you explore the wild. Keep reading to learn more about what’s new for this rugged midsize SUV.
Key Takeaways:
- The all-new Bronco RTR is designed for high-speed off-roading performance, with standard 33-inch tires and upgraded engine cooling.
- Another new trim model, the Bronco Filson, blends rugged capabilities with a unique dose of refinement, featuring upscale amenities and premium power.
- The 2027 Bronco doesn’t offer a V8 engine. But shoppers can check out a new version of the 418-horsepower 3.0-liter V6, designed to deliver a more refined performance!
What changes are expected for the 2027 Ford Bronco?
For 2027, two new Broncos join the lineup: the classy Bronco Filson and hard-hitting Bronco RTR. As part of a partnership with the outdoor outfitter of the same name, the Filson combines trail capabilities with a more refined performance, compliments of a specially tuned version of the Raptor’s twin-turbo, 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6. Meanwhile, the new Bronco RTR is a high-speed dune racer aimed at tighter budgets. If you want to speed through the sand but can’t afford a Bronco Raptor, this new trim model is for you!
Which engine comes with the 2027 Bronco Filson?
The all-new Bronco Filson borrows its 3.0-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 from the high-performance Bronco Raptor (418 horsepower, 440 pound-feet of torque), with a few adjustments. Since the Filson is designed to put a premium spin on outdoor adventure, its powertrain is specially tuned to deliver a more refined performance.
Which performance upgrades are included on the new 2027 Bronco RTR?
Designed for drivers who crave high-speed desert performance but lack a Raptor-sized budget, the Bronco RTR aims to conquer dunes with standard high-clearance suspension, 33-inch tires, and a turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine that borrows the Raptor’s 1,000-watt cooling fan.
Plus, the Bronco RTR’s lighter front end helps you glide over the sand without digging in. And its unique, race-derived anti-lag system delivers instant thrust to help you power out of a problematic sand wash. Better still, when you add the rugged Sasquatch package to your Bronco RTR, you’ll automatically get the HOSS 3.0 suspension setup, complete with FOX racing shocks. Just like the Bronco RTR, these Fox internal-bypass shocks are specially designed for off-road speed, helping you push past the limits of the standard HOSS 1.0 framework.
Which tech features come with the 2027 Ford Bronco?
Unfortunately, the 2027 Bronco doesn’t switch to the latest Ford infotainment system. On the bright side, though, its SYNC 4 technology comes standard on every trim model, including a 12-inch touchscreen and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity. Ford’s off-roading all-star also getsprops from Edmunds for its unique off-road driving aids. Trail Turn Assist (standard with an automatic transmission) helps you make tight turns on a narrow trail. And the Bronco Terrain Management System alters steering, handling, and powertrain performance to suit your surroundings, on-road or off!
Is Ford going to put a V8 in the 2027 Bronco?
Not this year. Though we can’t predict what the future has in store, the 2027 Bronco engine lineup doesn’t include a V8 option. Instead, last year’s engine options carry over for the new model year. Most trim models feature the 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (300 hp, 325 lb-ft of torque). The Stroppe Edition boosts speed with its 2.7-liter turbo V6 (330 hp, 415 lb-ft). And the Raptor and Filson models are the strongest of all, thanks to their 3.0-liter turbo V6 (418 hp, 440 lb-ft).
