The is coming out swinging with seven trim levels and five packages to pick from at launch. There’s a lot of good stuff here so let’s break it all down and figure out which version will be the best to buy.
2021 Ford Bronco Revealed
Baseline Bronco specs and info can be found in our , but just to bring everyone up to speed the top-level info is:
A two-door (100.4-inch wheelbase) and a four-door (116.1-inch wheelbase).
A 2.3-liter EcoBoost I4 turbo with a 10-speed auto or a seven-speed manual (it’s a six-speed with one crawler gear), or a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 twin-turbo that you have to pair with the automatic. Both come with four-wheel drive exclusively.
The prices are pulled from Ford’s site, but don’t include destination fees and other fees. So, use them for comparative purposes but understand you’re going to pay at least a little more.
Base is the entry-level bare-bones Bronco, naturally.
Ford says: “Designed for customers who want a no-frills 4x4 SUV or for those looking to customize their very own vehicle for rugged off-road adventure.”
Base pricing two-door: $28,500 (plus destination charge and fees)
Base pricing four-door: $33,200 (plus destination charge and fees)
Axle ratios: 4.46:1 (manual); 3.73:1 (auto)

I have a feeling that this model is going to be the defacto base that dealers try to get people into. The LED headlights and sexier wheels alone will increase the vehicle’s curb appeal a lot and since the list price probably won’t be too much higher than Base, the monthly payment bump will be an easy sell on a lot of people. Also, it doesn’t seem to be available as a two-door.
Ford says: “For customers looking for off-road capability with greater comfort, technology and convenience”

This looks like it’s going to be the “lower-budget off-roady one,” as it steps up the exterior with bigger bumpers and adds earnest LT (thicker) off-road tires. It’s also got skid plates, a broad color pallet, just generally looks mean. How sweet are those big steelies?
Ford says: “Next-level outdoor adventure adds heavy-duty off-road hardware and marine-grade washout interior.”
Base pricing two-door: $36,050 (plus destination charge and fees)

This seems like it will be the semi-lux roadgoing version, essentially the equivalent of the Jeep Wrangler Sahara. Instead of armor and a boat-inspired interior, it ships with heated seats and prettier wheels.
Ford says: “For customers who prefer style and technology on-road and off.”

This is basically the closest thing to a “Raptor SUV” Ford is officially turning out right now. It’s focused on off-road desert driving in comfort and is only available with the bigger 2.7-liter engine, which sadly, means you can’t have it with a manual transmission.
Ford says: “The all-out desert runner, Bronco Wildtrak comes with the Sasquatch Package, 35-inch tires, and seven G.O.A.T. Modes including Baja.”
Base pricing two-door: $48,875 (plus destination charge and fees)

This is pretty much the Wrangler Rubicon rival. All the off-roady options, geared slightly more toward rock-crawling than desert running. So if the Wildtrak is the Raptor-pick for the southwest, this might be the play for Rubicon Trail-type wheeling or any other off-road adventures you might do in other corners of the country that don’t have desert.
Ford says: “Designed for the ultimate in Bronco 4x4 off-road capability, Bronco Badlands comes with its own unique heavy-duty suspension that includes a front stabilizer bar disconnect.”
Base pricing two-door: $42,095 (plus destination charge and fees)

If you really want to feel special, Ford has provided this opportunity to lighten your wallet for some decorative bits.
Ford says: “Bronco First Edition debuts with Badlands mechanicals, Outer Banks interior appointments and rugged Wildtrak exterior features. Only 3,500 are slated to be built.”

There’s nothing left, this Bronco has everything. (You’d sure hope so for $60,000.)

You might have noticed a few packages listed as standard or optional within the various trim levels, so here’s what’s included within each of those.
This is what comes with all Broncos at a minimum, before you order anything.
LED headlampsBlack door handlesMirror capsFender flares and fender tie-down hooksManual air conditioningPush-button start
This is the first “step-up,” most significantly adding heated seats (woo!) and a suite of safety features.
Two-door Intelligent Access with lock and unlock functionality110V/150W AC power outletAmbient footwell lightingAuto-dimming rearview mirrorDual-zone electronic automatic temperature controlHeated front seatsIlluminated visor mirrorsRemote Start System (automatic transmission only)Reverse Sensing SystemSubscription navigation with three month trialSYNC 4 with enhanced voice recognitionFord Co-Pilot360 including Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, BLIS with CrossTraffic Alert, Lane-Keeping System, Auto High-Beam HeadlampsRear view camera with backup assist grid lines
The big touchscreen and 360-camera in this kit make the Bronco quite a bit more modern than it is otherwise.
Mid Package content12-inch center stack touchscreen360-degree cameraAdditional sound deadeningForward Sensing SystemSideview mirror LED approach lamps
These are just toys you really only need to order if you’ve got plenty of bucks to burn. Although, I will say, a heated steering wheel is sweet.
High Package contentAdaptive Cruise Control10-speaker B&O Sound SystemEvasive Steering AssistHeated steering wheelUniversal garage door openerTwo extra front row USB smart-charging portsVoice-Activated Touchscreen Navigation SystemWireless charging pad
This kit elevates the Bronco’s off-road abilities significantly. The big tires, soft suspension, and aggressive axle ratio would make it a solid crawler.

I tried to organize this information as well as Kinja would let me, and most importantly, make it Control-F searchable. But if you’d rather ingest this through spreadsheets try these:
That’s as comprehensive of a rundown as I could come up with. The 2021 Ford Bronco is squarely targeting the Jeep Wrangler, but also posting up as a rival for the Toyota 4Runner and Land Rover Defender. And it looks like it’s taking one hell of a shot.
