Introduction
The 2027 Ford Bronco is expanding in two very different directions. The new Bronco RTR is designed around high-speed off-road driving, adding a high-clearance suspension, 33-inch tires and performance-focused tuning. At the other end of the lineup, the new Bronco Filson brings premium materials and additional comfort to a four-wheel-drive SUV that still retains serious trail equipment.
Key Takeaways
- The 2027 Bronco adds the new off-road-focused RTR trim.
- The RTR gets standard 33-inch tires, a high-clearance suspension and a 2.3-liter EcoBoost with anti-lag programming.
- The new Bronco Filson combines a 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 with the Sasquatch package and upgraded comfort features.
- The Bronco continues to offer two- and four-door configurations with removable doors and roof panels.
- Official 2027 pricing and availability vary by version, with the RTR and Filson arriving around the beginning of 2027.
What is new for the 2027 Ford Bronco?
The biggest 2027 changes are two new specialty versions. The Bronco RTR was developed with RTR Vehicles and is aimed at drivers who want high-speed desert performance without stepping all the way up to a Raptor. The Filson Edition takes a different approach, adding premium materials and comfort while maintaining the Bronco's off-road equipment. Ford says the RTR will sit near the top of the standard Bronco lineup, while its starting price will remain below a Badlands equipped with the Sasquatch package. The Filson is positioned as a premium four-door model and is expected to start in the mid-$70,000 range.
How powerful is the 2027 Ford Bronco?
*Ford has confirmed that the Filson uses a tuned version of the Raptor's 3.0-liter EcoBoost, but has not published final output figures. Raptor specifications shown are current published figures.
What makes the 2027 Bronco RTR different?
The Bronco RTR is built around high-speed off-road performance rather than simply adding appearance changes. Standard equipment includes 33-inch all-terrain tires, a high-clearance suspension, wider track, upgraded steering hardware and a 1,000-watt cooling fan.
Ford also developed a race-inspired anti-lag system for the 2.3-liter EcoBoost. Buyers who select the Sasquatch package get 35-inch tires, HOSS 3.0 suspension and FOX internal-bypass dampers, giving the RTR additional capability for rougher terrain. The visual changes are substantial as well. The RTR receives a distinctive grille, RTR-specific 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels and available Hyper Lime accents. Those details make it noticeably different from the more traditional Bronco trims without turning it into a separate model family (Edmunds).
What is the 2027 Ford Bronco Filson Edition?
The Bronco Filson is the more premium of the two new 2027 additions. Ford developed it with outdoor outfitter Filson and equipped every example with a 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 and Sasquatch package, including 35-inch tires, front and rear locking differentials and Fox suspension components. Inside, the Filson focuses on comfort and utility. It adds ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, an upgraded B&O audio system, water- and dirt-resistant storage bags and a digital rearview mirror with a camera that remains useful when the vehicle is loaded with gear. Ford also says acoustic improvements reduce perceived wind noise by nearly 20 percent compared with the 2021 Bronco (Edmunds).
How much can the 2027 Ford Bronco tow?
The standard Bronco can tow up to 3,500 pounds when properly equipped. That rating covers a range of configurations, while the Bronco Raptor raises the maximum to 4,500 pounds. Actual capability depends on the vehicle's configuration and equipment. The Bronco's towing capacity is useful for smaller campers, boats, utility trailers and recreational equipment, but buyers with larger trailers may need to consider a truck or a higher-capacity SUV.
How fuel efficient is the 2027 Ford Bronco?
The Bronco prioritizes off-road capability over fuel economy, and efficiency varies substantially with the engine, body style, transmission and tire package. Car and Driver lists EPA estimates of roughly 17–19 mpg city and 18–21 mpg highway for the standard Bronco lineup. The turbo-four with the automatic transmission reaches the highest highway rating at 22 mpg in its most efficient configuration.
Car and Driver has recorded 22 mpg during its 75-mph highway test with a turbo-four automatic Bronco, compared with 18 mpg for a twin-turbo V6 model. Larger off-road tires, particularly with the Sasquatch package, can reduce fuel economy further.
How much will the 2027 Ford Bronco cost?
Car and Driver currently estimates the 2027 Bronco starting around $43,000, with the broader lineup reaching approximately $65,000 before the Bronco Raptor and new premium Filson. The RTR is expected to start below the 2026 Badlands Sasquatch price of 52,000. Because the 2027 model year is still approaching its launch, final transaction prices and individual configuration pricing may differ once Ford opens ordering more broadly.
When will the 2027 Ford Bronco be available?
Ford plans to begin delivering the 2027 Bronco RTR in early 2027, with orders expected to open in October 2026. The Bronco Filson is also scheduled to arrive in showrooms in early 2027, with orders opening in fall 2026. That timing makes the 2027 Bronco particularly relevant for shoppers who are planning ahead rather than looking for an immediate purchase. Exact timing can vary by model, configuration and production availability (Car and Driver).
Summary
The 2027 Ford Bronco broadens an already extensive lineup without abandoning the features that made the sixth-generation SUV distinctive. Two- and four-door configurations, removable doors and roof panels, four-wheel drive and serious trail hardware continue across the range, while two new models take the Bronco in very different directions. The RTR is aimed at drivers who want more aggressive high-speed off-road capability, with 33-inch tires, high-clearance suspension and performance tuning. The Filson takes the opposite approach, pairing Sasquatch hardware with premium materials, additional comfort and utility features.
