Few vehicles have captured America’s imagination like the Ford Bronco. After returning from a long hiatus, the Bronco lineup has expanded into one of the most diverse off-road families on the market, rivaling the ever popular Jeep Wrangler. Whether you’re looking for a stylish daily driver, a trail-tuned desert machine, or a hardcore rock crawler, there’s a Bronco variant built to match your lifestyle. At Lifted Trucks, we see every version of these SUVs come through our stores, and each trim has its own personality, strengths, and ideal audience. Here’s a complete breakdown to help you choose your perfect Bronco.
Base (Discontinued After 2021)
The Base trim was designed as the pure, no-frills Bronco—simple, rugged, and ready for modification. With standard 4×4, removable doors and roof, and classic Bronco proportions, the Base was a blank canvas. Because of its rarity and affordability in the used market, it’s a favorite among builders looking to start from square one.
Big Bend
The Big Bend is the first step into additional comfort. Featuring upgraded wheels, LED fog lamps, leather-wrapped steering wheel, and the option for the Mid Package technology bundle, it blends off-road capability with everyday practicality. It’s a strong choice for families or commuters who want Bronco style without going extreme.
Black Diamond
One of the best value trims in the lineup, the Black Diamond includes heavy-duty steel bumpers, rock rails, rubberized flooring with drain plugs, and marine-grade vinyl seats. This trim is built for people who actually plan to get dirty. If you love mud, rivers, sand, and the great outdoors, the Black Diamond is your dependable workhorse.
Outer Banks
The Outer Banks is the most street-oriented Bronco in the family. With body-colored fenders, signature LED lighting, upgraded interior materials, and available 12-inch touchscreen, it brings refinement to an off-road platform. This is the Bronco for drivers who want comfort, technology, and upscale design—without sacrificing 4×4 performance.
Badlands
If you’re searching for serious trail performance, the Badlands is your trim. Think of it as the Rubicon of the Bronco lineup. It offers the advanced front stabilizer bar disconnect, Bilstein position-sensitive shocks, locking front and rear differentials, and a host of drive modes designed for technical trails. This is the Bronco for rock crawlers, overlanders, and off-road purists.
Wildtrak
The Wildtrak is the high-speed desert runner—Ford’s answer to the Raptor in a more compact form factor. It includes standard Sasquatch Package equipment (35-inch tires, beadlock-capable wheels, locking diffs, high-clearance fenders) and the twin-turbo 2.7L EcoBoost V6. If you dream of Baja-style driving, sand dunes, and wide-open terrain, the Wildtrak is your ideal match.
Everglades
Introduced as a purpose-built adventure trim, the Everglades comes from the factory with a snorkel, heavy-duty front bumper, integrated Warn winch, all-terrain tires, and water-resistant interior. This Bronco is meant for deep-water crossings, backcountry travel, and swampy environments. The Everglades is uncommon and highly desirable on the pre-owned market.
Heritage Edition
The Heritage Edition brings retro Bronco style to the modern era. With Oxford White styling elements, vintage-inspired wheels, plaid seat inserts, and classic color combos, this version blends nostalgia with capability. It’s perfect for drivers who want something unique with a nod to the original Broncos from the 1960s.
Heritage Limited Edition
For collectors and enthusiasts who want rarity, the Heritage Limited is the top of the styling spectrum. It includes premium leather, exclusive colors, a powerful 2.7L engine, upgraded suspension, and all the Heritage visual cues in a limited-production package. These are highly sought after and hold value exceptionally well.
Bronco Raptor (Raptor R Not Yet Released for Bronco)
The Bronco Raptor is the extreme performance flagship. With a 3.0L twin-turbo V6, oversized Fox Live Valve shocks, reinforced frame, massive 37-inch tires, and widened stance, it's built for high-speed off-road dominance. This is the most capable Bronco ever sold and competes directly with the Jeep Wrangler 392 and the full-size Ford Raptor. It’s loud, aggressive, incredibly powerful, and engineered to defy terrain.
