After being briefly stricken from the order books for the 2024 model year, the entry level 2025 Ford Bronco Base trim is back, aimed at making the off-road SUV more affordable for buyers. But just because it’s a base model doesn’t mean it’s lacking in the options department, even when it comes to wheels. Below, Ford Authority shows what wheels are available on the 2025 Bronco Base and what it takes to get them.
16-inch Bright Polished Silver-painted steel wheel
17-inch Black High Gloss-painted aluminum bead-lock capable wheel with Warm Alloy beauty ring
17-inch Carbonized Gray painted alloy wheel
The 2025 Ford Bronco Base is fitted with a set of 16-inch Bright Polished Silver-painted steel wheels as standard, meaning they don’t add any extra cost to the off-road SUV. While these wheels offer decent aesthetics in their own right, buyers can choose from two sets of optional wheels.
This includes the 17-inch Black High Gloss-painted aluminum bead-lock capable wheels with Warm Alloy beauty rings, which are bundled in the Sasquatch Package. The wheels themselves are priced at $995, but they require that the $8,460 Sasquatch Package first be equipped, adding $9,455 to the Bronco Base altogether. However, if buyers don’t want to spend extra on that particular set, the Sasquatch Package fits the 2025 Ford Bronco Base with a set of 17-inch Carbonized Gray painted alloy wheels for no additional cost outside of the price of the package itself.
As a reminder, the 2025 Ford Bronco brings numerous changes to the rugged SUV. While the Base trim rejoined the lineup, four other trims are no longer available, including Black Diamond, Wildtrak, Everglades, and Heritage Limited Edition. Other updates include the addition of a digital gauge cluster as standard, along with rear HVAC vents, improving passenger comfort. Meanwhile, six colors were deleted from the lineup to make way for three new hues known as Desert Sand, Marsh Gray, and Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat
With the reintroduction of the Base trim, the 2025 Ford Bronco is just as expensive as it was for 2024, starting at $37,995 excluding destination freight charges.
Comment
Ford got the base all wrong, just because we don’t need all the major off-road goodies doesn’t mean we want it to suck so bad. Maybe we would like to have the option to pick the exact wheels and tires we want, painted top, grill, fender flares, how about an option for a cold weather group. Maybe we want the V6, or the option for the locking diff. What about the signature lights, upfitter switches. I feel all interior options except for Ford 360 and B&O system should be standard across the whole line up. I would like to see other color packages, Oxford White, Carbonized Gray, Shadow Black, or straight up color matched (This means painter top, door handles, mirror caps, and fender flares). The new center console needs to be standard. I would love to see a rear seat delete option for the 2 door. Ford you need to do better for the price you’re asking. I would also like to see a hybrid top, hard top back area with BestTop front area. Oh well i can dream that you will let us truly build what we want, but we know you never will.
