Ranger, no mechanical changes: Ford changed no mechanical hardware on the Ranger for 2025, which
makes it the simplest of the four to judge. The rest was color and package work. Desert Sand, Marsh Gray and Ruby Red
Metallic Tinted Clearcoat were added, while Cactus Gray, Iconic Silver Metallic and Hot Pepper Red Metallic Tinted
Clearcoat were dropped. Tow hooks became black-painted on all 4x4 models.
The SecuriCode keyless-entry keypad went from body-color paint to black molded-in-color, meaning black through the
plastic rather than painted on, and became a dealer-installed item rather than one fitted at the factory. Four package
changes followed. A Black Appearance Package arrived. The Chrome Accent Package replaced the former Chrome Appearance
Package.
The Sport Appearance Package's wheel-lip moldings changed to black molded-in-color. The FX4 Off-Road Package dropped
its outline-white-letter tires, the ones with white lettering on the sidewall, and no longer required black running
boards. One subtraction is worth knowing about: the Technology Package was revised for 2025 and lost Connected
Built-In Navigation and Enhanced Active Park Assist. Inside, the Lariat 4WD moved from the electronic eShifter to a
mechanical shifter, an interior change rather than a mechanical one.
On the XL, privacy glass became standard and integrated trailer brake control became an option, but both arrived at a
mid-year production change, so a 2025 XL built earlier in the year may not have them. Ask us to confirm those two on
the truck you are looking at.
Super Duty, the gas engines changed by trim: For 2025 the 6.8L V8 gas engine became standard from the
XL up through the Lariat, and the 7.3L V8 gas became standard starting with the King Ranch and the Platinum. The 6.7L
Power Stroke diesel stayed optional across every trim, and every engine pairs with a version of the heavy-duty
10-speed TorqShift automatic. Ford also added Trailer Technology bundles offering auxiliary cameras, individual
trailer tire pressure monitoring and blind-spot coverage that extends over a trailer. The Ford Pro Vehicle Integration
System 2.0, which integrates work equipment with the truck, became optional on Super Duty and standard on Super Duty
Chassis Cab.
The optional Platinum Plus Package brought its own satin-finish grille and bright chrome inserts, a Smoked Truffle
interior in perforated Venetian leather with French stitching, Max Recline seats and 2kW Pro Power Onboard. The
Platinum trim itself was refreshed with a Black Onyx cabin and Platinum Blue accents, a painted black grille and
tailgate trim panel and body-color door handles, and the Lariat gained ActiveX seating material. Two new colors
arrived: Avalanche and, as an option, Ruby Red Metallic.
Bronco, screens, sound and trim structure: The 12.0-inch digital gauge cluster, the display behind
the steering wheel, became standard on all trims for 2025, replacing the previous 8.0-inch display and physical
speedometer. It is the Bronco Raptor display, with its own animation for each G.O.A.T. Mode, Ford's name for its
terrain drive modes. Worth being clear about what did not change: the 12.0-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen in the middle of
the dash had already been standard across trims since 2024, so a 2025 gives up nothing there.
Four-door Broncos gained dedicated second-row air-conditioning vents, and Ford added interior lighting and sound
insulation across the line. The Bang & Olufsen (B&O) audio system went from 10 speakers to 12, with upgraded
speakers, a new subwoofer and a higher-output amplifier. Sasquatch-equipped Broncos moved to 35-inch Goodyear
Territory rugged-terrain tires, quieter at highway speeds than the mud-terrain tires they replaced. Two changes to the
lineup matter when you read a window sticker.
The Base trim returned after a one-year hiatus. Black Diamond became a package on the Big Bend, so a 2025 Black
Diamond is a package and never a trim of its own. New options included a Black Appearance package: a Shadow Black
removable hardtop, plus black molded-in-color mirror caps, fender flares, door handles and grille with white BRONCO
lettering. On Sasquatch builds that package also brings gloss-black painted aluminum wheels with a black beadlock
ring. Ford also offered a factory-installed Matte Clear Film paint protection option over any color in the range.
Bronco Sport, the biggest change of the four: 2025 is the year the Sasquatch off-road package arrived
on the Bronco Sport for the first time, on the 1.5L Outer Banks and the 2.0L Badlands. It brings a twin-clutch
rear-drive unit with a locking rear differential, hardware that until then only the Badlands had, so it is new
equipment on an Outer Banks while a Badlands already carried it. New springs raise ride height by 0.4 inch over the
previous Badlands. A Badlands Sasquatch has up to 8.3 inches of front and 8.7 inches of rear suspension travel, the
distance the wheels can move up and down, and that is 0.6 inch more than a Badlands.
On the software side, two new G.O.A.T. Modes arrived: Rally, standard on Badlands and Badlands Sasquatch, and
Off-Road, standard right across the lineup. Trail One-Pedal Drive joined Trail Control among the off-road driving
aids. The center screen is a standard 13.2-inch display running Ford's SYNC 4 software with over-the-air updates,
paired to a reconfigurable 12.3-inch digital instrument display, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
standard.
New front and rear bumpers added modular points for mounting accessories, Bronco Bolts appeared inside and out, and
integrated fender tie-downs rated to 150 pounds appeared on Outer Banks Sasquatch, Badlands and Badlands Sasquatch. On
driver assistance, Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ is standard on every trim. It includes:
- Automatic high beams
- Blind spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert
- A lane-keeping system
- Pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking
- A rear view camera with rear parking sensors
- Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go and lane centering
-
Evasive steering assist Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0, the step above it, adds a 360-degree camera with Split View, reverse
brake assist and speed sign recognition, and is optional on Outer Banks and standard on Badlands. Towing is about
where you would expect for the size: 2.0L Bronco Sports tow up to 2,700 pounds standard. A Bronco Sport Big Bend
with the optional Black Diamond Off-Road package tows up to 2,200 pounds when properly configured, which is a
separate rating on a different vehicle rather than a lower one on the same vehicle. That package also brings 4
recovery points and added steel underbody protection.
