2025 Ford Bronco Up Close: Same Capability, Now More Affordable

[@JimThompson-i3u]

Base models for all manufacturers could be even cheaper if they didn't include all the surveillance tech. Just give me analog gauges, real knobs to twist and buttons to push. I don't need or want: always-on Wi-Fi, a unique Bluetooth address, or built in GPS. MSRPs could drop quite a bit without all this unnecessary crap.

[@nickdeagle3271]

But those things only cost the consumer more. Profit will be lost.

[@donwyoming1936]

Those of us still not living in the 1970s, would like Bluetooth & cameras in our cars. Go buy a baseline Kia is you want to go back in time.

[@JamesChechele]

I totally agree. Probably be 10,000 cheaper. All these electronic items are gonna fail.

[@JamesChechele]

And also rubber flooring manual windows and manual transmission. And above all no stop and start. I would consider one.

[@basquo2]

​@@donwyoming1936yes, keep paying for the overpriced tech that is going to break down in no time. I guess you like paying extra for repairs as well, don't you?

[@akiranaski2280]

Almost 40k for base model ? F Ford and your bronco, I’ll keep my money. Big 3 thinks most people are stupid, not me though.

[@edhcb9359]

That’s because most people ARE stupid.

So, you're more of a Kia guy than a Ford guy. I get it.

[@christophertyacke6019]

Welcome back, the $29.995 base model. Oh, wait. $39.995 base model. Thank you Ford for making us feel like we're getting a real deal. Feelings > reality.

[@albertorbinati5511]

I'm a lifelong Wrangler owner. I dig the Bronco. Unfortunately, these auto manufacturers (especially Jeep) are trying to reset what we all think of as a "base model price." It ain't gonna work, Ford/Stellantis! We're not as dumb as you think we are. $40K for a base model Bronco and Wrangler is ridiculous. We're not getting $40K worth of value.

[@ScottHelmintoller]

The check engine light is on from the factory awesome.

right! i remember base model wrangler was 25k new

BIDENOMICS FOLKS

[@brianklamer3328]

I like the simple looks of the new base model, but 40K for a turbocharged 4 cylinder in a vehicle of that size and weight is still a deal breaker.

[@angelotero7729]

I remember when they first announced the Bronco base was around 25,000 to 27,000 and couldn't even get the Bronco because of demand very disappointed

[@jp23x]

they brought back the base trim, but not the base MSRP lol

[@ericschultz1073]

I want one of these sooooooooo bad. 2 door in either green or black with the retro stripe package. I just wish they had actual gauges though.

[@WandererofTheAlgorithm]

I just bought a black 4 door big bend bronco almost 2 weeks ago now for 50k, I love my car but man these prices are getting up there.

Looks good BUT you may expect a recall anytime

[@yetiskies9240]

too expensive for the base model :(

[@KMJ187]

$40K when the BRONCO Came out - the base was $28k - so the base model is more than this current years upscaled mid range model. No wonder sales are slumping at ford.

[@estlerd]

Base model $10K too high. Not interested!

[@JustSaiyan9k]

39,000 for the base model? Affordable my ass. The original base model started at 30,000.

[@timlay4855]

I was excited about the base model coming back until I saw the price! Such a disappointment! For 40,000 you can get so much more with a Jeep. Or you could buy a base Jeep for way less.

[@JRPGGUY]

Welcome back base model

[@hunterstokely8438]

I thought the New Tacoma ‘s were expensive 😂 looks like Ford is here to stick it to the customers

[@ready4sea301]

Still out of my league price-wise.

[@TopSecretVid]

😂😂😂……How on earth is the Base more ‘affordable’.. $37k before taxes n fees..Yeah I built a 2025 Base and I was up to almost 50k and that is WITHOUT the option to have the Aux Switches. I’m so happy with my 2023 2door Big Bend, Sandstone interior, tow package, Aux Switches, Modular bumper and SAS..for less than a similar 2025 built Base.

[@seththomas9105]

40k for a base…G R E E D

[@larrys9879]

The depreciation on any new vehicle is significant. The vehicle will lose thousands of dollars when it’s driven off the dealers lot. Thousands of dollars can be saved simply by purchasing a one or two year old vehicle. Buying a new vehicle only makes sense if it’s kept for at least five years.

[@canyonproductions7683]

Still overpriced but looks sick! Great review man

[@bearatts]

Lol. I laughed when you said 39k was affordable.

[@John-kx3ng]

Give me a base Bronco for 30 to 35k and I’m in.

[@gregelliott3556]

Is available with a automatic transmission ??

[@richardthompson6366]

Let's just go back to the Bronco 2 for 20 grand less.

[@cynic5581]

Base model looks like something the USPS would have in their fleet. Not only do I not need a digital cluster I want and prefer an analog cluster. Vents in the rear? Ok, how about not having 4 spare tires on an off-road vehicle instead? The Bronco looks to me to be one of those lifestyle vehicles (like a Jeep) while a more practical person would consider a Subaru Forester/Outback or a Toyota 4Runner or something like that.

[@ryanyoder7573]

We need a V8 base for 29k

[@tipsovr2626]

Looking at Ford's website, for 2024 the "base" model appears to be the Big Bend edition. It sells for $39,630 and has a host of standard equipment. For 2025 Ford introduces a "base" model that is going to cost $39k+ but doesn't have the equipment list of the current "base" model. But the new base model is more gooder for cosumers; right Ford?

[@edharma1069]

More Affordable ???

[@refused1]

[@jbcub81]

Hey! I know that guy! 😊 Seriously though, great to hear that a base model is available again.

Yeah, if it was at base model price. And a 4 banger with a turbo? Eh, too bad FoMoCo don't make the 300 I-6 anymore.

[@corporalpunish6089]

Going to drive my 2014 Taco until it falls apart. The inflation in autos is crazy. Too much for a depreciable asset.

[@rediron44]

Why buy the base at 40k, when you can get the Sasquatch package for 49k?. 9k is cheap for all the upgrades, and you keep your warranty

[@rickmcsheridan4949]

40 grand for a impractical underpowered 4 cylinder SUV. Stick it, Ford, you have priced the middle class out of your show room's. Ford must think they're too big to fail. they're going to find out.

[@hugoglenn9741]

Black out package, How about the black obliterated packaged! Especially on the interior, I live down south and I need black in the summertime like I need the plague. Try to order a 2 door without a black interior. No thanks Ford
