Which Ford Bronco trim should I buy?

• Bronco: The base model gives you the Bronco's core open-air, off-road-ready character, and it is the entry point if you want the lowest starting price.

• Outer Banks: This trim adds leather seating surfaces, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, LED lighting, and the option to pair the turbo V6 with a more upscale setup.
• Heritage: This trim leans into the retro look and includes the Sasquatch package as standard equipment.
• Badlands: This trim adds bigger tires, an upgraded suspension package, a classier interior, and a front sway-bar disconnect for more serious trail use.
