I really like everything about it. The rims, paint, tire cover (looks just like my wife's Defender tho), etc. Only thing I am jealous of though, is the cooled seats. I have been complaining about it since day 1. A vehicle that is advertised with top off, on the beach, should have cooled seats as an option. I live in the south, and swamp ass is unavoidable with top off. Once the top is off (as mine is now) I dont put it back on till it gets cold. I would LOVE cooled seats.

360-370 hp??? 🤣😁😂 Why, so Braptors can stay superior???🫡 The other versions of the 3.0 i. RANGER raptor and explorer ST have 405hp, NOT a measly 360-370hp...why would they go backwards this much? Makes NOooo sense to me. 🤔. Im gonna say this prediction is WRONG.
Heard rumors about dropping the 2.7 and just having a 3.0 but I thought that was just f150. Who knows we will see.

As for the detuned 3.0 ford did this with the Lincoln aviator version of the explorer whereas the ST got the 400 hp.

This filson is targeted for the premium luxury crowd so I could see them doing the same deal and detuning it.

I hope. They are showing photos of copper with the green interior. Hope they change it. Jeep did something for the 20th anniversary rubicon where it only had red interior with black. Looks bad with the sarge (green) and blue exteriors.
Kinda like getting an Eruption Green with red/orange accents. Ford and their color pallets are something else. I would do a Filson Shelter Green on green or Desert Sand would actually work.

Agree. I love the first edition copper, but I'd get the Filson green unless they do something different with the interior on the first edition.

Ford Bronco Filson: Specs, Features, and Everything You Need to Know

June 3, 2026

Ford and Filson have introduced the first-ever Bronco® Filson™SUV — a new rugged premium 4x4 SUV that unites Bronco's Built Wild™ capability with Filson's promise of Unfailing Goods. Designed to take you to the most remote places on Earth in refined comfort and convenience, it's the newest member of the Bronco lineup and goes on sale early 2027.

"Bronco buyers don't just want a vehicle — they want a partner for wherever they're headed," said Andrew Frick, president, Ford Blue and Ford Model e. "Filson has spent more than a century making gear people trust and putting their products to the test in extreme conditions. That's exactly the standard we had in mind when we built this vehicle, and it's why our customers love Bronco."

What is the Ford Bronco Filson?

The Bronco Filson is the newest member of the Bronco lineup — designed with Built Wild extreme durability and the heirloom-quality craftsmanship of a Filson Tin Cloth short-lined cruiser jacket. It retains Bronco's original "Goes Over Any Type of Terrain" DNA while delivering premium features that elevate the comfort and functionality of a rugged SUV.

"For nearly 130 years, Filson has built products for people who depend on their gear in the harshest conditions imaginable," said Alex Carleton, chief creative officer at Filson. "The Bronco Filson is a natural extension of that legacy, combining uncompromising capability with thoughtful craftsmanship and utility-driven design. This vehicle was created for people who see the outdoors not as an escape, but as a way of life."


How capable is the Bronco Filson off-road?

Just like the gear Filson has supplied to pioneers and the U.S. Forest Service for more than a century, the Bronco Filson is built to deliver confidence and performance in harsh trail conditions.

The proven 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 — shared with Bronco Raptor and refined with application-specific tuning — gives Bronco Filson the power and torque to handle a wide range of conditions. Every Bronco Filson comes standard with the Sasquatch package, which includes:
  • Front and rear electronic locking differentials
  • High-performance Fox shocks with internal bypass technology to improve off-road durability and reduce harshness over rocky terrain
  • 35-inch rugged-terrain tires — the largest of any premium 4x4 SUV — that help reduce road noise without sacrificing off-road grip
Standard Trail Turn Assist tightens off-road turning radius, and Trail 1-Pedal Drive enables precise, confident slow-mode rock crawling. The Terrain Management System with G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) Modes offers seven driver-selectable modes: Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, Baja, Off-Road, and Rock Crawl. Fast 5G and Wi-Fi connectivity plus SYNC 4 infotainment with a standard 12-inch screen provide access to the standard 360-degree camera system and apps like onX off-road trail maps via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The backbone of every Bronco Filson is a high-strength steel ladder frame — built for this, not borrowed from elsewhere.

What makes the Bronco Filson cabin different?

Filson designers worked side-by-side with the Bronco team to curate a premium cabin — one where every material had to earn its place.

"There is a massive difference between premium and precious," said Paul Wraith, global design director, Sport Utility Vehicles. "If you're hesitating because you're afraid to get the cabin dirty, it doesn't belong in a Bronco. Every material we chose with Filson had to be honest, tactile, and relentlessly durable. And like a great piece of gear, this interior isn't meant to wear down, it's designed to wear in, aging beautifully alongside you and your adventures."

Colors and materials are inspired by Filson's legendary outdoor palettes and textures. The interior features perforated, quilted leather and durable woven fabric seat trim inspired by Filson's rugged twill, a leather-wrapped instrument panel and steering wheel, and brass accents on the steering wheel bezel and G.O.A.T. Modes dial.

The Bronco Filson is also the quietest Bronco cabin ever built. Improved airflow, acoustic glass, and enhanced seals reduce wind and road noise — including nearly 20% less perceived wind noise versus the 2021 Bronco. Paired with new ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and an upgraded B&O audio system, it's a quiet, climate-controlled retreat when conditions outside turn harsh.

What storage and utility features does the Bronco Filson offer?

The Bronco Filson’s utility-first philosophy shows up in the details. Filson-inspired removable saddlebags are integrated throughout the interior — including door-mounted bags and optional cargo-area bags made from water- and dirt-resistant materials. The detachable bags feature customizable compartments for everything from fly boxes and first-aid kits to camera lenses, and carry easily from vehicle to campsite.

A digital rearview mirror with washer ensures clear sightlines even when the cargo area is fully loaded. New power running boards deploy automatically for easier entry and exit given the vehicle's high ground clearance.

Outside, the Bronco Filson features a unique front grille with distinct BRONCO lettering, heritage-painted wheel arches, painted mirror caps, and exclusive trail sight tie-downs designed to secure longer items like canoes. Available colors include Bronco Filson exclusive Field Green Metallic, Marsh Gray, Avalanche Gray, Desert Sand, Shadow Black, and Oxford White.


What is the Bronco Filson First Edition?

To commemorate the launch of this historic collaboration, Ford will offer an exclusive Bronco Filson First Edition for North America, featuring:
  • Exclusive Iron Sands Copper Metallic exterior paint color
  • Unique fender badge
  • Custom serialized console badge commemorating the Ford x Filson collaboration
  • Filson-inspired cargo storage bags

Where is the Bronco Filson built?

The Bronco Filson is assembled at Ford's Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, Michigan, the same factory that has assembled Bronco SUVs since the vehicle’s return in 2021.


When can you buy the Bronco Filson?

Orders open fall 2026, with vehicles arriving in showrooms early 2027. Interested customers can sign up now for updates and early access.

Beginning in July 2026, customers can experience the vehicle firsthand through the Bronco Filson Tour, a multi-city immersive showcase highlighting its design, materials, and capability.

To complement the vehicle, a limited-edition Bronco x Filson collection will be available beginning June 4 exclusively at Filson stores and Filson.com.


What does the Bronco Filson cost?

Bronco Filson has a targeted starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price in the mid $70,000s.

I like it, I have never heard of FILSON before. Am I the only one tho who has been expecting a bit of a redesign on the body etc? It’s been out since 2021 I’m surprised they haven’t done any cosmetic changes yet.
I’m also hoping for a 37” tire option for non Raptor and 40” for Raptor 😊

Keep waiting lol.
Bronco isn't getting a refresh, just jumping straight to a next-gen model......IIRC around the 2029/2030 timeline, with more special editions and whatnot in the meantime.

Truth. No need for a refresh, really. Bronco still establishing itself in the broader marketplace. And PS: I‘d guess there is next-to-zero broader market demand for 37s on the Bronco and 40s on the Raptor. While a not uncommon mod here, the vast majority of the buyers Ford is going after (with the Filson edition, especially) won’t even take the thing off-road.

Seriously? Not paying attention? All of the painted hard tops ARE the Modular hard tops.... they have been an option for a year now and this model seems to have them as well.
Nope, definitely paying attention since the beginning. Yes, we are getting what FORD is now calling a Modular hard top, but it is not "The" Modular top promised at launch.

https://thebronconation.com/all-new-2021-bronco-two-door-and-first-ever-four-door-models/

I'm just helping the Ford marketing algorithm by telling Ford that I will part with new Bronco Money again if they offer what was promised in 2021. Until then, my 2022 Soft top will suffice.

Jeep has solved open top experience with maximum convenience in both Wrangler and now the Recon.

Since you have been paying attention since the beginning, then you know the actual modular HT was released for MY'23 HEs and early MY'24 HEs. They are the only painted hard top that is modular with the rear windows removable. Ford has already discontinued it.

WTF???? reread that... That is describing EXACTLY the painted tops available today.... The only difference "TODAY" is that you can no longer get the removable rear quarter windows because the adhesive was failing...... SO they stopped offering those. Other than that the description is EXACTLY what the painted tops are.... That is why Ford calls them modular tops.... Obviously you read that description and "see" something else... I guess they do not live up to your expectations... I am just confused as to what that is....

Actually it is the same top... they just stopped offering the removable windows. It seems to be built differently than the "MIC top... I look at the painted tops and they appear to be built just like my 2023 MOD top with removable windows.... There are significant differences in how they are designed and built when compared to the MIC top.

It’s all good. This specifically is what was described.

“Four-door models have four removable roof sections –“

never happened…maybe some day.

And the removable glass side panels…. Jeep figured out before the Bronco launched.

It’s just marketing and a lame excuse to take more profit with less features.

I’m happy with my floppy loud roof Bronco. I switched to a soft top because I wanted my vehicle and the early MIC tops didn’t seem like a great option. I figured eventually I’d get that four removable panel roof with removable glass as a dealer item.

My ideal roof is still made of the illustrious unobtainium…
