Best Trim

We recommend the 2025 Ford Bronco Badlands 2-Door out of all the options available. Starting at $50,385, Bronco Badlands is a top choice for car buyers due to its unique blend of serious off-road prowess and everyday functionality.

Buyers especially love its advanced off-road features, including the HOSS 2.0 suspension with Bilstein dampers and electronic-locking differentials, which provide impressive capability on tough trails. The option for powerful EcoBoost V6 engines also draws in customers, offering robust performance for any adventure. Lastly, the 2-door's shorter wheelbase offers agility for tight trails, and its signature removable doors and roof panels create an immersive open-air experience that truly appeals to outdoor enthusiasts.
