2025 Bronco Refresh design??

[BigFootie]

Refresh! I've only had mine now for 5 months and I reserved it back in 2020!

Actually, the Modtop is great from the outside. Inside its a hot mess. The window drop down thing is a pita but I hear that can be fixed.

My tranny is still silky smooth but it's only 5 months old and it's parked for the winter. Having a solid tranny is kind of a requirement in my opinion.

The dash is just stupid. Not sure what anyone was thinking with that.

Other than that, don't change a thing!

Definitely my greatest fear, They took away everything that was retro/right with the S197 design when they did the 2010. the 2005 Mustang was what got me to buy my first Ford in 15 years.

If they make those kinds of mistakes in a Bronco redesign, I'll cry..

I loved the S197 style. Had a 2008 Mustang GT deluxe with stick. Was a great car. 2010+ definitely got me looking at other cars.

Hope they keep the Bronco retro looking too.

The MY2025 refresh rumor came from someone here who works for a Ford supplier who said that they were prepping for a MY25 refresh, but that was a while ago, so things could have changed since then.

The refresh, whether its MY25 or MY26, will probably be pretty mild. No frame or hardpoint changes, so along the lines of the 2018 Mustang refresh:

My guess for the exterior is slightly different grilles and/or lighting, square fenders for everyone, black MOD top option, probably a new special edition (Oates?)
Interior hopefully gets the all digital dash and maybe some different colors & materials variations.

MIC doesn't change until at least the 7G.
The new 2.3L is probably 2 years after the refresh, based on Ford's usual recent tick-tock cadence of new model, new powertrain, refreshed model, refreshed powertrain.

At some point we'll get a hybrid. Then a full-electric down the road, but that might be a totally different model/platform to expand the Bronco brand.

Electronics go down in price because they get superseded by something better or the processes to make them become cheaper. Plus the costs of the 12in screen get spread across the entire Ford lineup, not so much with the 3.0 Rack-plus it could be a difference of couple hundred bucks vs the "ranger" rack vs the 3.0 one, that couldn't be closed with additional volume

I failed to mention reduced warranty claims using the better parts.

With Ford I won't hold my breath.
2004:

2026:

Hey come on they rotated it clockwise by at least 10 degrees. By 2224, it will be pointed straight down!

FWIW, spoke to my dealer today about a swap on mine (different topic for another thread) and specifically asked about a mid-cycle, my'25 refresh. He said they don't expect much for the Bronco. They've already heard preliminary info about the Explorer refresh and one other model (I forget which?) for '25 but nothing about a refresh for the Bronco.
He said they only expect some minor updates.

I know this is a dealer but I will say they have never mislead me and have proven to be very trustworthy in the years we've dealt with them. Rare but true.

Gen 1 was an 11 year run, I hope they keep it substantially the same for a half dozen more years.

The CEO talking about prioritizing hybrids/PHEV then almost immediately offering LESS (explorer/aviator) is wild. A 4XE competitor makes too much sense and I’m holding off on buying until one exists

Love the shape of the Bronco as is..I hope they don’t touch that. I like a refresh in interior colors and design and exterior trims and colors

Ford lost Billions on EV‘s ..it’s cutting 20 billion for new EV investment. They aren’t the only company .to lose money on EV’s. they may increase hybrids after a successful Maverick program..but pure EV’s just don’t sell.

I wasn’t referring to a pure EV

I remember the style differences from the 2005 vs the 2010 Mustangs. I wonder if the style differences will be that drastic for the Bronco.

I like the current design of the Bronco a lot. My guess will be subtle cosmetics differences, more tech, and more color options. Maybe a new model and retiring a model. All speculation…..

I would like to see a diesel option, digital dash, maybe HUD, and give the Heritage edition a retro digital dash option that you can select.

Diesel would be the perfect scenario, but of course they won’t do that because the Washington agenda is being pushed.

I agree, diesel is great. Gets good mpg and great range.
Just need to keep on top of the def fluid. Tons of torque.
I enjoy it in my 2500.
