Although the automotive market has more SUVs than ever, few of them are truly designed to be worthy adventure companions. This is one of the reasons why Ford decided to revive the legendary Bronco in 2021. The goal was to create an SUV that could be driven anywhere but also included the comfort and infotainment features you'd expect from a modern vehicle. Given the Bronco's success, it's safe to say Ford succeeded. Read on to see five of the most compelling reasons why the 2025 Ford Bronco Sport is the right vehicle for your next Tacoma, Washington, adventure.
Off-Road-Oriented Trims and Feature Packages
If you're looking for the ideal adventure vehicle, you'll find it with the 2025 Bronco Sport's trims and feature packages. Even the basic Bronco Sport is a capable adventure companion, offering standard four-wheel drive and features such as 17-inch wheels, heated mirrors, a rear liftgate with a flip-up rear window and lighting, stain-resistant cloth upholstery, a rubberized cargo floor, LED headlights, and roof rails, plus safety and infotainment features.
Detailed below are optional packages and trims that enhance the Ford Bronco Sport's off-road capabilities.
Black Diamond Off-Road Package
This optional package boosts the standard Bronco Sport's overall capability. It includes 17-inch aluminum wheels, powder-coated steel bumpers, steel bash plates, and rock rails. It also comes with rubberized flooring, grab handles, and overhead auxiliary switches for a more functional and comfortable ride.
Sasquatch Package
This package is great for hardcore adventurers, as it turns your Bronco Sport into an all-terrain beast. It enhances the regular Outer Banks or Badlands trims by adding features such as a twin-clutch rear differential, steel bumpers with a front bull bar and rear recovery hooks, and all-terrain tires. It also comes with Ford's Trail Control, which is basically cruise control for off-road driving, so you only have to worry about steering.
Badlands Trim
The top Bronco Sport trim is specifically designed for adventurers. Some off-road-specific features include special suspension and tires, front tow hooks, and an upgraded 4 X 4 system. It also offers some unique features with its Sasquatch package, including an upgraded engine cooling fan that keeps your engine at optional temperatures even when pushing it to its limits, a higher suspension lift with Bilstein rear dampers, and unique interior seat designs with yellow trim and stitching.
Powerful and Capable Engines
Having the right off-road-oriented features is important when going on rough terrain adventures, but raw power is also essential. Most Bronco Sport trim levels come with a capable turbocharged 1.5-liter engine that can produce up to 180 horsepower and 200 pound-feet of torque. While this output should be enough for most off-road enthusiasts, the Badlands trim offers an upgraded turbocharged 2.0-liter engine that can deliver up to 238 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque, unleashing the Ford Bronco Sport's full off-road capability.

G.O.A.T. Modes
The term "off-road" has a pretty loose definition and can refer to many different surfaces. The Bronco Sport can easily adapt its handling and steering for whatever type of terrain it's on. The different available modes are:
- Normal: This is great for everyday driving, as it offers easy handling and great fuel efficiency.
- Eco: If you're short on gas or simply want to prioritize fuel economy, this mode will maximize fuel efficiency.
- Sport: This mode allows the Bronco Sport to accelerate faster.
- Slippery: If you're driving on wet or icy roads or surfaces covered in sand or gravel, this mode will help you keep things steady.
- Sand/Snow: Driving in deep yet soft sand or snow requires the Bronco Sport's four-wheel-drive capabilities, and this mode unleashes them.
- Mud/Ruts: This Badlands-exclusive mode is your go-to off-road mode, as it helps you control the Bronco Sport on uneven and slippery terrain.
- Rock Crawl: This mode is also exclusive to the Badlands trim and makes full use of the four-wheel-drive system and rear differential lock to help you when rock climbing and crawling.
Great Infotainment Features
Staying well-informed and engaged while you're on your adventures is also important. The Ford Bronco Sport comes with excellent infotainment features, even in its basic configuration. A large 13.2-inch touch-screen interface, a 12.3-inch configurable digital instrument cluster, satellite radio, a six-speaker sound system, and wireless smartphone connectivity through Android Auto or Apple CarPlay all come standard.
Excellent Active Safety Systems
Staying safe on your travels should be essential for any driver. Every Bronco Sport trim comes with the Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ suite of driver assistance technologies. This includes:
- Forward collision mitigation system: Alerts you in case of an imminent frontal impact and even hits the brakes automatically to mitigate it
- Evasive steering assistance: Steers to avoid frontal collisions, enhancing the forward collision mitigation system
- Blind-spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic warning: Alerts you if any vehicle is in your blind spot when you're reversing or changing lanes
- Adaptive cruise control: Keeps a steady speed on highway drives and maintains a consistent distance from the vehicle ahead
