• Big Bend: This is the best-value trim for most buyers, adding Co-Pilot360 and serving as a smart upgrade path, especially if you want a more complete daily-driver setup.
• Outer Banks: This trim adds leather seating surfaces, a heated steering wheel, LED lighting, and available turbo V6 power, making it a strong comfort-focused choice.
• 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.
• Stroppe Edition: This two-door model is the race-ready special edition, with a red, white and blue theme and a matte black hood.

Should I buy a used Ford Bronco now or wait for the next model?

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: Most 2025 Bronco models are equipped with one of two engines, while the Bronco Raptor gets a unique, more powerful engine of its own, and the base 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine spins out 300 horsepower and 325 pound-feet of torque.
• Tech: The 2025 Ford Bronco comes standard with a 12-inch touchscreen that runs the latest Sync 4 infotainment software, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included.

• Starting price: The 2025 Bronco starts at $40,990 in base trim with either two or four doors.

If you're buying used today, the 2024 model year offers the best mix of value and availability. If you want the latest tech and features, it may be worth waiting for the next model year's inventory to build up.
