Just when you thought you knew what to expect from the 2027 Ford Bronco, this rugged SUV surprises you with two new trim models. Keep reading to learn more about what’s changed for this iconic off-road SUV.
For 2027, two new trims join the Bronco lineup. First, there’s the limited-edition Bronco Filson, which offers a unique blend of style, refinement, and rugged performance. Then there’s the Bronco RTR, which is designed to deliver speedy off-road capabilities at a more attainable price (especially compared to the high-performance Bronco Raptor).
This new Bronco trim model blends pleasing aesthetics with high-performance off-roading gear. Or as Car and Driver so eloquently put it, the “Filson Edition has hipster vibes and the Raptor’s V6.”
Inside, you’ll find exclusive styling (like a wrapped dash and quilted leather trim) and upscale comforts (including ventilated front seats). When it’s time to hit your favorite mountain trail, you’ll appreciate the standard 35-inch all-terrain tires and Fox racing shocks. In the Filson Edition, the Raptor’s V6 is specially tuned to deliver a delicate balance of rugged off-road power and on-road refinement.
When Ford teamed up with RTR Vehicles to build a desert-racing Bronco that won’t break the bank, the Bronco RTR was born. To help you fly over dunes, this SUV comes standard with 33-inch tires, high-clearance suspension, and upgraded engine cooling. A lighter front end makes it easier to move freely over the sand. Should you need to power out of a sand wash, the RTR’s anti-lag system supplies instant thrust.mOutside, Hyper Lime accents and special RTR badging set this model apart from the rest.
Since engine options haven’t changed for 2027, you probably won’t be surprised to learn that the new Bronco delivers up to 418 horsepower and 440 pound-feet of torque with the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 engine (exclusively available on the top-tier Raptor and Filson trims). When you choose the desert-racing Stroppe Edition, your Bronco makes 330 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque via a 2.7-liter turbo V6. All other Bronco trim models supply 300 horses and 325 pound-feet of torque for your Colorado adventures, compliments of the standard 2.3-liter turbo four-cylinder engine.
If you’ve got your eye on the limited-edition Bronco Filson or the fun-yet-affordable Bronco RTR, it’s absolutely worth it to hold out for the 2027 model year! And for Colorado drivers, it can pay to build a Bronco from the ground-up — that way you know your SUV will have all the necessary gear to handle your favorite Rocky Mountain trails.
Then again, we won’t try to talk you out of an earlier model year, especially if you want to save money on a rugged SUV. But if you do decide on a brand new 2027 Bronco, you won’t have to wait long — order banks open October 2026!
