2025 Ford Bronco Off-Road Capabilities
An SUV that provides on-road comfort and off-road performance opens up many possibilities. The 2025 Ford Bronco has both; it’s comfortable enough to use as an everyday vehicle around Cabot but also has the size and features to make it a highly competent off-roader. Let’s look into the Bronco’s off-road capabilities.
Detailed Analysis: Suspension, Traction, and Ground Clearance Upgrades
Many features make the 2025 Ford Bronco an off-roading beast. Some of our favorites are detailed below.
A Four-Wheel-Drive Traction System With Part-Time Selectable Engagement
Unpredictability is a defining characteristic of off-road driving, and your vehicle needs the tools to help it instantly adapt to new environments. That starts with the 2025 Bronco’s four-wheel-drive (4WD) part-time selectable engagement system. The available traction configurations are:
- Two-wheel drive high: This is your standard everyday traction system, making the Bronco a very comfortable vehicle for driving on paved roads. It only sends power to the rear wheels, improving comfort and fuel efficiency.
- 4WD high: This is the first of the two 4WD systems and sends equal power to both the front and rear wheels. It’s great for regular off-roading or driving in difficult conditions such as snowy, muddy, or sandy roads.
- 4WD low: This system also sends power to all four wheels but with a much lower gear ratio, enhancing the torque at low speeds. It’s ideal if you’re in highly challenging off-road situations, such as very steep terrains, deep sand, or when pulling a heavy load on uneven or slippery surfaces.
Special Off-Road Accessories
The 2025 Bronco has many dedicated off-road accessories that can make your adventures safer and more exciting. Some highlights include:
- Rock rails with removable running boards: When off-roading, your vehicle’s underbody is exposed to damage from rocks and other elements of the off-road terrains. The rock rails and running boards are metal elements that protect the edges of the Bronco’s underbody.
- Skid plates: The skid plates cover the middle underbody area. They help protect your Bronco’s key elements, such as the engine and fuel tank, from being damaged off-roading.
- Heavy-duty front bumper: The Bronco’s front bumper is specially engineered to withstand difficult driving conditions.
- Air snorkel: An air snorkel can help keep water and dust from entering your engine compartment.
Dedicated Off-Road-Oriented Trims and Packages
By providing dedicated trims and optional packages, Ford makes it easy to configure your 2025 Bronco for off-road performance. The Ford Bronco Sasquatch package is available with most trim configurations and turns an already off-road-capable vehicle into an exceptional off-roader. Some of its features include:
- Goodyear 35-inch mud-terrain tires on 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels enhance traction and stability on difficult surfaces like mud and sand
- Front and rear electronic-locking differentials instantly distribute power to the wheels with the best traction at any given time during your off-road adventures
- A 4:7 final drive ratio provides excellent low-speed torque, enhancing power and control in difficult off-road situations
- Fender flares accommodate the larger tires while also keeping mud and debris from hitting the Bronco’s body
Some trims come with everything you need for your next off-roading adventure. These include:
- Badlands: This all-purpose off-roading trim provides excellent versatility and is a great choice for a wide variety of rough terrains around Cabot.
- Raptor: This is the ultimate Bronco off-roading trim. It adds several features, including the HOSS 4.0 suspension system with internal bypass semi-active FOX shocks that instantly adjust their stiffness based on terrain characteristics.
Tech Innovations Driving the Future of Off-Road Exploration
Modern off-road vehicles aren’t just big and sturdy but also come with innovative tech features to make driving on rough terrains easier and safer. We describe some of the Bronco’s most useful ones below.
G.O.A.T. Modes
The Ford G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Terrain) Mode traction management system helps the 2025 Bronco tackle any terrain by optimizing the SUV’s features to match the distinct characteristics of each terrain type. The available modes are Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, Sand, Mud, and Rock Crawl.
Hill-Descent Control
Going downhill on a slippery surface without any help from technology can be challenging. The hill-descent control system automatically engages the braking system when going downhill, preventing your Bronco from skidding.
Trail 1-Pedal Drive
This innovative system makes low-speed crawling easier by enabling you to use a single pedal for both accelerating and braking. It activates the brakes when you take your foot off the accelerator pedal.
Trail Control
Driving over a large off-road area can be tiring, but this feature makes everything easier. Similar to cruise control, the trail control system automatically accelerates and brakes when going over rough terrain at low speeds. This lets you focus exclusively on steering, making avoiding potential dangers like steep inclines and large rocks easier.
Trail Turn Assist
The Trail Turn Assist system greatly improves the Bronco’s turning radius if you are off-road and must make a sharp turn to avoid a large object or dangerous area. This system helps the Bronco pivot and turn much more effectively by applying brakes to the inside rear wheel.
