2025 Bronco Refresh design??

[Sherminiator]

No one thinks they'll release a Hybrid for '25?

At this point no, because the 2.3L Ecoboost Hybrid hasn't been even launched in North America...

I thought we might see it on the 2025 Explorer, but the hybrid option was dropped for non-fleet markets (though haven't seen anything about the '25 PIU from Ford either)

Plus the rumors I've heard from someone at the plant said its not coming anytime soon, maybe when both the Ranger and Bronco get a major refresh in another 3-4 years.

I’d like to see more choices within each edition. If it’s available, make it an option.
And for goodness sake, put the 3.0 rack on all of them. Cutting down parts inventory saves money and almost pays the difference in the better parts cost. Case in point, everybody gets the 12” screen for 2024.

If you’re gonna claim to be better than Jeep, be better than Jeep.

Electronics go down in price because they get superseded by something better or the processes to make them become cheaper. Plus the costs of the 12in screen get spread across the entire Ford lineup, not so much with the 3.0 Rack-plus it could be a difference of couple hundred bucks vs the "ranger" rack vs the 3.0 one, that couldn't be closed with additional volume

Body color hardtop would be a nice option to see.

That’s would be a really nice option.

I wouldn't expect too much, maybe some new colors, different wheels, interior improvements. Pretty much like the Wrangler.

I doubt we'll see a refresh until the 2026 models. Of course I could be wrong.

The Bronco Sport is getting a 2025 mid cycle refresh, but it came out as a 2020 model. If Ford sticks to that schedule the Bronco refresh will be 2026. Note that people are already seeing disguised Bronco Sports betting tested. Nobody has seen any disguised Broncos. If they were being refreshed for 2025 there would be some prototypes out there getting tested by now.

Mid cycle refresh usually is limited to minor front and rear fascia changes and a slightly refreshed but still very similar interior. Mechanically they remain essentially the same. A hybrid may be a possible addition for the refresh as well.

I'm still pinching myself Ford actually delivered a legit rugged body on frame 4x4 with removable top/doors, two speed tcase and all. It could have gone Chevy Blazer or something like that.

I still contend that the Bronco Sport was a head fake by Ford that tricked Cheby into producing a neutered Blazer and ultimately boxing themselves out of an emerging market. My theory is that Ford leaked the Sport design early on as the return of the Bronco, Cheby responded and was allowed to beat Ford to the market with their all new Blazer!, meanwhile Ford was designing the real Bronco in the background. However, the Sport was well enough received that Ford decided to bring it to market it as well. But that is just a theory, a conspiracy theory.

I'm sure the 2025 refresh will have mods similar to the chinese bronco with fenders, software and possible better hard top options...hopefully the modular

Bronco Sport started production earlier, but still came out as a 21MY. But I agree there has been no credible evidence yet of a 2025 refresh for full size Broncos. I’d expect just small changes for 2025.

Jumped into the late 70's Bronco with those square head lights! I don't mind it!

Just adding to the chorus that I would like to see the digital dash, some more vibrant colors (bring back Rapid Red!), and an improved hardtop (black or body color is too much to wish for). Maybe a better stereo and speaker system (even for the B&O). Otherwise, I would change little.

After spending some time in a relative's OBX over the holidays and plenty of time on this board, three things are keeping me from buying one (2-door):

One, the crap hardtop quality (interior finish is terrible, let alone the cracking issues), and the lack of an OEM soft top that doesn't flip up at the rear for access like a damn Tupperware lid (easily the worst top design I've ever seen).

Two, the horrific instrument panel design. Had to be the work of an intern. Jeep has this nailed down with the JL, simple analog speedo and tach with a configurable center. Not a fan of the floppy frameless windows either.

Three, no cloth seats unless you get a Heritage. Dumb.

I don't think Bronco needs an aesthetic refresh at all on the outside, but it needs a little finessing otherwise. I'm holding out hope of returning my 3-car second garage to all-Ford, but I'm not holding my breath either.

more choices with in each edition but make everything the same across editions to cut down on costs I love the bi polar thoughts here.

I remember the style differences from the 2005 vs the 2010 Mustangs. I wonder if the style differences will be that drastic for the Bronco.

Definitely my greatest fear, They took away everything that was retro/right with the S197 design when they did the 2010. the 2005 Mustang was what got me to buy my first Ford in 15 years.

If they make those kinds of mistakes in a Bronco redesign, I'll cry..
