What Ford Bronco do most buyers choose?

The Ford Bronco years with the most listings are 2024, 2023, and 2025.

Higher-volume years usually give you more choices across trims, colors, and equipment levels, which makes it easier to find the right match. They also tend to be the years shoppers cross-shop most often, so pricing and inventory depth are usually easier to compare.

What is the Ford Bronco's resale value?

The table shows broad downward movement across the Bronco lineup, which can work in your favor if you’re shopping used. Several years have seen double-digit declines, while the others are still down by nearly 10%, so recent-model buyers may find better value than they would have a year ago. The pattern also suggests that newer Broncos are giving up value quickly enough to create opportunities in the used market.

The 2022, 2023, and 2025 model years have held their value best, with the smallest year-over-year price changes.

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

• Sweet-spot year: The 2024 model has the most listings at a current average price of $43,682. The Ford Bronco offers a rugged, adventure-first character that makes it especially appealing if you want a distinctive SUV with real off-road personality.

Consider waiting if:

• Powertrain/efficiency: The latest Bronco pairs standard 4WD with a 300-horsepower, 2.3-liter turbocharged inline four-cylinder engine or a 330-hp, 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6, and the V6 brings fast, seamless acceleration plus strong low-end torque.
• Tech: The latest Bronco includes a 12-inch digital gauge cluster, a 12-inch infotainment screen, wireless Apple CarPlay, and wireless Android Auto.
• Safety: The latest Bronco adds standard automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, forward collision warning, dynamic brake support, and a rearview camera with backup assist grid lines.
• Starting price: The base trim starts at $43,290.

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.
