The 2021 Ford Bronco has arrived. Here’s how to figure out which version of the new SUV is right for you.

2021 Ford Bronco

The 2021 Ford Bronco was, without a doubt, one of the most anticipated and hyped vehicle announcements of 2020.

Ford’s reservation site crashing shortly after its launch is proof of just how excited people are for this thing. And as Ford begins shipping the Bronco to dealers, the entire three-vehicle family of rugged SUVs will soon be rolling down streets and off-road trails.

Instead of one Bronco model, Ford has given us three: There’s a small Bronco Sport version (which started shipping late last year), along with larger two-door and four-door Bronco SUVs, which Ford started sending to dealers this week. If you’re looking to order a new Bronco, though, you’ll have to wait until next year to take delivery, as Ford has 125,000 orders it’s working through already.

All three models are 4x4s and off-road capable. And within those various models are subsequently available trims and packages.

How are they all broken down? Let us walk you through it.

Bronco

2021 Ford Bronco two-door and four-door.

The Bronco will have seven different trims to choose from. Within those trims, there are also five available package options. The trim you choose will determine which package is available to you. The packages are:

  1. Standard: you get LED headlights, black door handles, mirror caps, fender flares, fender tie-down hooks, manual air-conditioning, and push-button start.
  2. Mid: you get ambient footwell lighting, an automatically dimming rearview mirror, dual-zone temperature control, heated front seats, Reverse Sensing System, and a whole host of driver assistance features.
  3. High: here, you get hardware from the Mid package, as well as a 12-inch center touchscreen, a 360-degree camera, additional sound-deadening materials, a Forward Sensing System, and wing mirror LED approach lights and spotlight.
  4. Lux: building off of High package features, you get adaptive cruise control, a Bang & Olufsen 10-speaker sound system plus subwoofer, Evasive Steering Assist, a heated steering wheel, a universal garage-door opener, two extra front row charging ports, a voice-activated touchscreen navigation system, and a wireless charging pad.
  5. Sasquatch: you get 17-inch black-painted aluminum wheels, 35-inch mud-terrain tires, electronic-locking front and rear axles, high-clearance suspension, fancy shock absorbers, and high-clearance fender flares.

You can see a breakdown of everything here, or just keep reading.

Bronco Base

2021 Ford Bronco.
2021 Ford Bronco.

This is your base-model Bronco. It comes with the seven-speed manual transmission (six regular gears and one crawler gear for low speeds and heavy-duty usage). Your standard equipment includes the 2.3-liter EcoBoost engine, good for a claimed 270 horsepower and 310 pounds-feet of torque.

Ford says the Base consists of just the “absolute essentials” but is “ripe for customization.”

You can get the Base with the more powerful 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine – which produces a claimed 310 horsepower and 400 pounds-feet of torque – but if you do, you have to get it with the 10-speed automatic transmission.

Further standard hardware includes 16-inch silver steel wheels, 30-inch all-season tires, cloth seats, and 4×4.

Prices start at $28,500.

Available packages: Sasquatch.

Bronco Big Bend

Ford says the Big Bend is the one that gives you “creature comforts along with your standard Bronco features.”

These creature comforts include a leather-wrapped steering wheel, heated front seats, 17-inch aluminum wheels, 32-inch all-terrain tires, LED fog lamps, and cloth seats. Engine options include the 2.3-liter EcoBoost with the seven-speed manual or the 2.7-liter EcoBoost with the 10-speed automatic.

Prices start at $33,385.

Available packages: Sasquatch, Mid.

Black Diamond

The Black Diamond comes standard with 17-inch black-painted wheels and 32-inch all-terrain tires. It has a heavy-duty modular front bumper and a powder-coated steel rear. There are also rock rails, heavy-duty bash plates, auxiliary switches in the overhead console, rubberized flooring with drain plugs, and marine-grade vinyl seats.

Ford says this is the one for “next-level outdoor adventure complete with washout interior.”

Engine options, again, are between the 2.3-liter and the seven-speed manual or the 2.7-liter and the 10-speed automatic.

Prices start at $36,050.

Available packages: Sasquatch, Mid.

Outer Banks

This is the trim level that “puts off-road style and tech front and center,” according to Ford.

Your standard hardware includes the 2.3-liter Ecoboost, but of course, the 2.7-liter EcoBoost is an option. You also get 18-inch black-painted aluminum wheels, 32-inch all-terrain tires, signature LED head- and taillights, body-color exterior door handles, mirror caps, and fender flares, powder-coated tube steps, and cloth seats with a heated front row, though leather-trimmed seats are available.

Prices start at $38,955.

Available packages: Sasquatch, High, Lux.

Badlands

It has 17-inch gray-painted, machine-face aluminum wheels, 33-inch all-terrain tires, Badlands suspension with a front stabilizer bar disconnect, a heavy-duty modular front bumper, a powder-coated steel rear, auxiliary switches in the overhead console, rubberized flooring with drain plus, and marine-grade vinyl seats.

Basically, it’s like the Black Diamond trim, but with a few more features.

Ford says it’s for the folks who “crave the extreme in their off-roading.”

Prices start at $42,095.

Available packages: Sasquatch, Mid, High, Lux.

Wildtrak

With the Wildtrak, you lose the option of the smaller engine and instead only get the 2.7-liter EcoBoost, exclusively paired with the 10-speed automatic transmission.

Ford says this one is “styled and made for high-speed off-roading.” Hardware includes a modular black-painted hard top, a Wildtrak hood graphic, carpet floors, and cloth seats with a heated front row. Leather-trimmed seats are available.

Prices start at $48,875.

Available packages: High, Lux

First Edition

Sitting at the top of the Bronco’s trim levels is the First Edition. It comes standard with Sasquatch and Lux package hardware. Additionally, there’s a safari bar, carpeted floors, 35-inch tires, a unique interior, leather-trimmed seats with a heated front row, a 10-way power driver’s seat, modular black-painted hardtop, and First Edition hood and bodyside graphics.

The 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine and the 10-speed automatic are standard here, with Ford saying that it’s limiting production of the First Edition to just 3,500 examples.

Prices start at $59,305.

Unfortunately, all reservations for the First Edition have already been filled. Sorry.

Bronco Sport

The Bronco Sport is the small SUV member of the Bronco lineup. It’s not as off-road-dedicated as the other Broncos, but it still appears to be pretty capable in its own right. This is the one for folks who might want a more “normal” SUV, not something as hardcore as the other ones are.

Base
