Below is a breakdown of trim levels and some select features found in Ford’s latest SUV offering. If you find a model (or two, or three) that you like, we encourage you to continue the research process on your own or reach out to one of our representatives to narrow down your choices even further.

While it may not be packed with all of the luxuries found at the higher trims, the Base Bronco still offers a number of high-end features, like an easily navigable eight-inch touchscreen display with SYNC® 4 capabilities. Affordable and functional, you’re sure to see a wave of these hit Bristol roads once the Bronco finally becomes available at Tennessee dealerships.Big Bend — 2-Door: $33,385* | 4-Door: $35,880*Immediately noticeable thanks to its slightly larger 17-inch carbonized gray-painted aluminium wheels and a carbonized gray grille, the Big Bend is a slightly more capable and stylized off-roading SUV. Receiving an additional G.O.A.T™ driving mode, the Big Bend adds another level of beauty and brawn to the revamped American icon. Whether you’re winding up the tight roads to Pinnacle Mountain Fire Tower or slowly creeping up mainstreet on a Saturday night in Kingsport, the Big Bend is a real crowd pleaser wherever it goes.Black Diamond — 2-Door: $36,050* | 4-Door: $38,545*The Black Diamond trim takes outdoor adventure capabilities to the next level. Packed with features designed to help you comfortably take the road less traveled all the way to its end, like: marine-grade vinyl-trimmed seas, rubberized washout flooring, a heavy-duty modular front bumper, and heavy-duty bash plates, the Black Diamond Bronco is equipped to climb, wind, and grind wherever you need to go.Outer Banks — 2-Door: $38,955* | 4-Door: $41,450*If you’re looking for supreme style and technology without sacrificing off-road capabilities, the Outer Banks trim is the Bronco for you.

The Badlands will meet the challenges of your next adventure with ease, and look pretty darn good doing it, if we do say so ourselves. Wildtrak — 2-Door: $48,875* | 4-Door: $51,370*The Wildtrak offers drivers a slightly more powerful standard 2.7-liter EcoBoost® engine and advanced 4x4 with automatic on-demand engagement.

This trim also features Mid Package and Sasquatch Package amenities as standard.
Sport (4-Door Only)Base — $26,660*Powered by a 1.5-liter EcoBoost® engine and still retaining the G.O.A.T.™ Terrain Management System, the Base Bronco Sport stays true to its aesthetic roots while adding cavernous cargo, a smoother road feel, and a safari-style roof to an already long list of desirable benefits. The Base Sport also benefits from a more robust suite of technological and safety features, including: an eight-inch touchscreen display, Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ capabilities, and Ford Co-Pilot 360™, among many others. Big Bend — $28,160*Adventure-ready at a moment’s notice, the Big Bend Bronco Sport puts more emphasis on off-road capabilities than the Base trim. With smart additions, like: easy-to-clean cloth bucket seats, rubberized cargo floor and second-row seat back protectors, and 17-inch carbonized gray-painted high-gloss aluminum wheels, the Big Bend is ready to go beyond where other vehicles can, and make it look absurdly easy in the process.Outer Banks — $32,160*Meticulously refined on the inside and out, the Outer Banks Bronco Sport somehow folds in an added level of luxury without sacrificing capability. With a sleek shadow-black roof, the Outer Banks trim fits in as well in the backcountry as it does opening night at the LampLight Theater. Drivers who opt for this trim enjoy, among other luxurious features, a leather-trimmed interior, ambient lighting, remote start system, and a 6.5-inch digital instrument panel all as standard. Badlands — $32,660* Stepping up to a 2.0-liter EcoBoost® engine for the Badlands trim, this variation is the most capable of the Bronco Sport trims. From the jump, it’s easy to see the performance potential oozing from every nook and cranny of this beautiful beast. From its 28.5-inch all-terrain tires, to special off-road suspension, to the metal bash plates, the Badlands Bronco Sport seamlessly combines comfort, convenience, and capability for those lucky enough to drive it.Summation By StyleTwo-DoorThe 2-door is the perfect option for drivers who still want all of the modern amenities found in today’s SUVs without sacrificing the nostalgic feel many Bronco buyers are looking for.
