2025 Ford Bronco Revives Base Trim After 2024 Absence

When the sixth-generation Ford Bronco debuted for the 2021 year, it did so with an array of trim levels, starting with the ultra (at the time) affordable Base model. However, the Base Bronco went away for the 2024 model year – which was also true of the 2024 Ford Bronco Sport Base – leaving the Big Bend as the new entry-level offering in both lineups. Now, after a meager one-year absence, the 2025 Ford Bronco is set to bring back the Base trim as part of a rather comprehensive list of updates for the new model year.

According to Bronco Nation, the 2025 Ford Bronco will indeed mark the return of the Base trim, though it’s a late availability option, anyway. Pricing for the 2025 Ford Bronco lineup has yet to be revealed, but this is certainly good news for those that are seeking a basic, simple off-roader with scant few options, albeit also supreme capability in what was once a blank canvas for modification as well.

This change is one of a few for the 2025 Ford Bronco, as the Black Diamond (which has become an optional package for the Big Bend), Wildtrak, Everglades, and Heritage Limited Edition trims have all been deleted. At the same time, the 2025 Ford Bronco lineup is gaining two new offerings – the recently-revealed Free Wheeling Package, which adds gradient stripes and other unique retro touches to the Big Bend trim – as well as the Stroppe Special Edition, which pays homage to the Baja 1000-winning Stroppe Baja Bronco of 1969 that also inspired a handful of road-going variants that were sold to the general public.

The entire 2025 Ford Bronco lineup is gaining the 12-inch digital gauge cluster as standard equipment, as well as rear HVAC vents that have moved from the floor to the rear portion of the center console, at least, for four-door models equipped with the 10-speed automatic transmission. Finally, the 2025 Ford Bronco Raptor is adding a trio of new exterior color options – Marsh Gray, Desert Sand, and Ruby Red – though a total of six have been deleted, a list that consists of Cactus Gray, Iconic Silver, Hot Pepper Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, Peak Blue, Race Red, and Yellowstone.

Brett's lost track of all the Fords he's owned over the years and how much he's spent modifying them, but his current money pits include an S550 Mustang and 13th gen F-150.
