When the sixth-generation Ford Bronco debuted for 2021, every trim with a molded-in-color (MIC) hardtop was fitted with a sound deadening headliner as standard. That policy stuck around for several years – at least, until the 2025 Ford Bronco hit the off-road SUV scene, now offering that sound deadening headliner as an optional extra on several trims.
The sound deadening headliner is now optional on four-door 2025 Ford Bronco Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, and Badlands models when the hardtop or dual top is selected. Previously, that headliner was standard on the aforementioned trims – and if buyers want to add it to their off-road ponies, they must shell out $495 for the option, plus the cost of their preferred top.
The sound deadening headliner is still standard on certain trims, however. The two-door 2025 Ford Bronco Base and Stroppe Edition models get the feature as standard, as do the four-door Bronco Raptor and Heritage variants.
The 2025 Ford Bronco received some other notable updates to its model line. This includes the reintroduction of the Base trim, which was stricken off the order books for the 2024 model year, while four trims are no longer available: Black Diamond, Wildtrak, Everglades, and Heritage Limited. It also gets a digital gauge cluster as standard, along with rear HVAC vents, improving passenger comfort.
Additionally, three new colors – Desert Sand, Marsh Gray, and Ruby Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat – were added to the exterior color lineup, while six were slashed from the options list.
The Blue Oval recently tweaked pricing for the the 2025 Ford Bronco, which did not deviate from the price of its 2024 model year counterpart upon launch. While the entry level Base trim saw its pricing increase by $1,000 to $38,995, excluding destination freight charges (DFC), the Bronco Raptor’s price was cut by $10,040, now starting at $79,995 in response to fluctuating demand across the board.

Hopefully the next Bronco platform update tools a variant with a welded in, fixed steel roof. It would improve EVERYTHING (lower cost, less weight, reduced NVH, wind noise, body torsional rigidity). I would guess this would be a high take option considered most Bronco owners never remove the hardtop. It would also create a platform for Lincoln to compete with competitors like Defender, Land Rover and Lexus GX550
… sounds like you either are jealous of Bronco owners, or, haven’t ever spoken to one. Driving with my 4 door top off is one my best times during the summer …
I literally don’t know any bronco owner that actually removes their hardtop.
This is why I e been wanting the Everest to some to the US
….. OLD news. this headliner has been around for MONTHS now. My May 2025 purchase has this …

The story isn’t about it being new. It’s about it not being standard on all trims anymore.
