Bronco Trim Level Guide
2027 Bronco Trim Levels Explained: Which of the Eight Fits the Lakes Region?
Updated October 2026 with the latest 2027 Bronco details from Ford.
Eight trims, two engines, and a stack of packages can turn a Bronco search into a puzzle, and the 2027 model year adds two brand-new names to the list. We sort the Bronco trim levels one at a time, so you can match the right Bronco to your commute, your winters, and your weekends.
The 2027 Ford Bronco trim levels are Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, Badlands, Heritage Edition, RTR, Filson, and Raptor. Every trim comes with 4x4, and a twin-turbo V6 rated at an estimated 380 hp now joins the 2.3L EcoBoost on select trims, with the Raptor reaching up to an estimated 418 hp.
At Irwin Ford Lincoln, a family-owned dealership in Laconia since 1951, our team helps Bronco shoppers from Laconia, Gilford, Meredith, Belmont, and Tilton choose the right trim. This guide covers what each 2027 Bronco trim adds, where each one sits on price, and who it suits, so you can start your search with a clear first pick.
Key Points: 2027 Bronco Trim Levels
- Every 2027 Bronco is a true 4x4, starting with the Base. Standard 4x4 on all eight trims means your trim changes how far you can push the Bronco, not whether it can handle a Lakes Region winter.
- The V6 is no longer a Raptor-only engine. The 3.0L twin-turbo V6 is now available on the Outer Banks, Badlands, and Heritage Edition, and it comes standard on the new Filson.
- A short commute frees your budget for trail gear. Laconia drivers average about a 17-minute commute, so the money often does more work in the hardware than in the cabin.
What Are the 2027 Bronco Trim Levels? All Eight at a Glance
Shoppers around Laconia usually ask the same thing first: what actually separates one Bronco trim from the next? Here is the full 2027 lineup side by side, with each trim's place on the price ladder, before we go deeper on each one.
| Trim | Engine | Standout Gear | Price Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base | 2.3L EcoBoost, est. 300 hp | 4x4, HOSS 1.0 suspension, 12-inch touchscreen | Entry |
| Big Bend | 2.3L EcoBoost, est. 300 hp | Heated steering wheel available with Mid Package | Entry |
| Outer Banks | 2.3L EcoBoost; 3.0L V6 available | 18-inch wheels, heated seats, Lux Package | Mid |
| Badlands | 2.3L EcoBoost; 3.0L V6 available (four-door) | HOSS 2.0, locking axles, bash plates, rock rails | Mid |
| Heritage Edition | 2.3L EcoBoost; 3.0L V6 available | 1966-inspired styling | Mid |
| RTR (new) | 2.3L EcoBoost, unique tune | Wide-track HOSS 1.0, 33-inch tires, rock rails | Mid (just over $50,000) |
| Filson (new) | 3.0L V6, est. 380 hp | Sasquatch Package, ventilated seats, saddlebags | Premium (targeted mid-$70,000s) |
| Raptor | 3.0L V6, up to est. 418 hp | HOSS 4.0, FOX Live Valve dampers, 37-inch tires | Top |
Price tiers compare the trims against each other. For reference, 2026 Bronco starting MSRPs ran from around $40,000 for the Base to around $80,000 for the Raptor. The RTR figure is Ford's announced starting MSRP before destination, and the Filson figure is a target. Ford has not yet published 2027 pricing for the other trims. Prices exclude destination, taxes, fees, and dealer charges, and horsepower figures are manufacturer estimates. Contact Irwin Ford through our website for current availability and pricing.
EcoBoost is Ford's turbocharged engine family that adds power without adding cylinders, and the 2027 Bronco offers it in two sizes: a 2.3L four-cylinder and a 3.0L V6. The new RTR starts roughly $30,000 below the 2026 Raptor's starting MSRP, which surprises shoppers who assume desert-ready hardware always means Raptor money. The 3.0L V6 also takes the place of the 2.7L V6 that some trims offered in 2026. And below the Raptor, the Filson is the only trim with the V6 as standard equipment.
What Changes on the 2027 Bronco Compared With 2026?
The 2027 Ford Bronco adds two new trims, the RTR and Filson, and brings the 3.0L twin-turbo V6 to the Outer Banks, Badlands, and Heritage Edition. The Stroppe Edition and the 2.7L V6 do not return, and Neptune Blue replaces Velocity Blue as a paint option.
- New trims: The RTR focuses on high-speed desert driving, and the Filson focuses on premium comfort with trail gear.
- New V6 option: The 3.0L makes an estimated 380 hp and 440 lb-ft of torque.
- Seat and cabin updates: The Outer Banks with the Lux Package gets premium vinyl in place of leather, and the Badlands gets a power-adjustable Marine Grade Vinyl seat.
- Cold-weather comfort: The Big Bend with the Mid Package can add a heated steering wheel.
- Paint: The Filson adds Field Green and Iron Sands Metallic.
What Do the Bronco Base and Big Bend Offer a First-Time Bronco Buyer?
The Bronco Base is the entry point to the lineup, with standard 4x4, HOSS 1.0 suspension, and a 12-inch touchscreen. HOSS (High-performance Off-road Stability Suspension) is Ford's suspension system tuned for rough terrain.
The Bronco Big Bend uses the same 2.3L EcoBoost, an estimated 300 hp, and now offers a heated steering wheel with the Mid Package, a welcome extra on a cold New Hampshire morning.
Both trims offer the Sasquatch Package, an off-road option bundle that adds 35-inch tires and upgraded trail hardware.
Is the Bronco Outer Banks the Right Trim for Everyday Laconia Driving?
The Bronco Outer Banks puts comfort and technology first, with 18-inch wheels, heated seats, and a more refined cabin. For 2027, the Lux Package swaps standard leather for textured premium vinyl, a practical surface for wet boots and lake gear.
The 2.3L EcoBoost comes standard, and the 3.0L V6 is a new option at an estimated 380 hp and 440 lb-ft of torque. With a commute near 17 minutes, a well-equipped cabin earns its keep all week.
Does the Bronco Badlands Earn Its Place on Lakes Region Back Roads?
The Bronco Badlands is the trim built for trail work. It upgrades to HOSS 2.0 suspension with Bilstein position-sensitive dampers, plus locking front and rear axles, a front stabilizer-bar disconnect, steel bash plates, and rock rails. For 2027, the four-door Badlands can add the 3.0L V6, and a power-adjustable Marine Grade Vinyl seat arrives as a first for the Bronco.
G.O.A.T. Modes (Goes Over Any Terrain) are Ford's selectable drive settings tuned to the surface under your tires, and the Badlands offers up to seven. Snowy back roads and gravel trails around the lake country are where this hardware earns its keep.
What Does the Bronco Heritage Edition Add Beyond the Retro Look?
The Bronco Heritage Edition nods to the original 1966 Bronco with an Oxford White grille, white wheels, and vintage plaid cloth seats. The style sits on real hardware: standard 4x4, the 2.3L EcoBoost, and for 2027, an optional 3.0L V6 at an estimated 380 hp. If the original Bronco is the reason you started shopping, the Heritage Edition is the trim that honors it.
What Is the 2027 Bronco RTR, and How Is It Different From the Raptor?
The Bronco RTR is a new trim tuned for high-speed desert running rather than slow rock crawling. It starts just over $50,000 MSRP before destination and runs a 2.3L EcoBoost with a unique calibration. Standard gear includes a wide-track HOSS 1.0 suspension with a lift, 33-inch tires, 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, and rock rails.
The optional Sasquatch Package adds 35-inch tires and HOSS 3.0 suspension. Ford expects first RTR deliveries in January 2027.
What Does the 2027 Bronco Filson Include as Standard?
The Bronco Filson is a new premium trim built with the outdoor-gear brand Filson. It comes standard with the 3.0L twin-turbo V6, tuned separately from the Raptor's, plus a Sasquatch Package with electronic-locking front and rear differentials, FOX shocks with internal bypass, and 35-inch tires.
Inside, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and an upgraded B&O sound system set the Bronco Filson apart. Power running boards and removable saddlebags finish the outside. Ford targets a starting MSRP in the mid-$70,000s, with deliveries expected in early 2027.
What Makes the Bronco Raptor Different From Every Other 2027 Trim?
The Bronco Raptor sits at the top of the lineup with a 3.0L twin-turbo V6 rated at up to an estimated 418 hp and 440 lb-ft of torque. Its HOSS 4.0 suspension uses FOX Live Valve semi-active dampers, which adjust damping as the terrain changes. Standard 37-inch tires and 13.1 inches of ground clearance separate the Bronco Raptor from every trim below it. It also tows up to 4,500 lbs when properly equipped.
