2025 Bronco Refresh? Do I wait or buy now?

[WarthogJr]

Definitely wait! There is going to be a SFA edition with a 500 hp V8 and 37’s standard. It’s called the Clydesdale.

I was really hoping for a plugin hybrid, like the 4xe. That feels doubtful right now. I'm going to be tempted if the Gladiator gets a 4xe version for 2025, but I don't think I'd be tempted enough to switch over.

I would buy now there are lots of 2024 Broncos on the lots, and the dealers seem ready to make some deals to get ready for the 2025s! Just my two cents!

I know the two dealerships in my area, Northern Virginia, are offering discounts between $5 and $7k below MSRP on all models on the lot, including Raptor. I wish I had $89K for a Raptor!!! But getting a Wildtrak for $61k ain't bad.

I was hoping for the same as well. A Bronco with decent gas mileage would be perfect, but so far, nothing is hinting at it happening from Ford. Just lots of people wishing for it to come.

Hoping for an additional brighter paint color other than blue, red, green and all the shades of grey. Wanted orange before they killed it.

im hoping for antimater blue to come back.

What change could you possibly want now that Ford has finally delivered on rear cupholders?

 

[Brian_B]

They should make some extra sweet interior and tech package which will at least be "better".

Think that’s what the new blackout edition is all about. It’s a crock, mind you, but I think that’s what Ford was thinking

Deals to be had on 24s (I’m sure leftover 23s too) if you buy now. My local dealer down the street has 26!!! Broncos in stock with 6 more on the way. They just aren’t selling.

The incoming ones are actually cheaper Big Bend models with minimal options (under 50K). Everything I stock is high 50s and well into the 60s.

Concur with the others, we've seen facelifted mules for the Bronco Sport and Maverick being tested, nothing for the Bronco, and being that they'd announce a refresh in September/October, means it probably isn't coming for 2025 unfortunately. I imagine they'll replace Velocity Blue with Atlas Blue, and maybe offer body color-matched hardtops as an option, otherwise I expect nothing big.

My philosophy originated during the days of scarcity but remains the same. Having a Bronco is more than half the battle. Eighteen months, and I still love mine. Saved 6 months buying off the lot versus waiting for the ordered bronco, and definitely had six months of fun in that time period.

A mid cycle refresh is usually only cosmetic, so maybe something done to the grille, new color, wheel options, etc. The core of what a Bronco is; an off-roader, has already been refreshed for the Wildtrak with the HOSS 3.0 and updated rack, so what exactly would you be waiting for?

Also, saw you mention gas in another post. Dude, just let that topic go. A Bronco isn’t for the eco crowd; they’ve got their own junk; a ton of it actually, so this truck ain‘t that. The mpg is only a waste if you only use it to make mall runs and commute in traffic; again, a ton of better options for those tasks. A Bronco is for dirt, mud, and rocks.

It’s not about miles per gallon, but smiles per gallon with a Bronco in it’s element.

If you see discounts today, it’s silly to wait, as you have no idea where things will turn later. Some of the waiters here ended up paying through the nose as the prices increased dramatically.

I'm not so sure there is any need for a refresh, nothing to be gained. Subtle or not so subtle tweaking, I wouldn't be surprised to see the disappearance of a trim level, or less combinations to order within trims.

With that said, who knows about 'special editions' Ford seems to love that concept.

Bottom line, unless you have a crystal ball, buy today, if that's what you want.

With sales slowing down I wouldn't be surprised if they start reducing options to streamline manufacturing and even maybe scrapping a trim level.

To be fair the Bronco Sport is getting a new dash and all the mules I have seen are the new Wildtrak trim level so clearly they have to hide that. I don't think the Bronco is getting an all-new dashboard nor an all new trim. The Bronco updates will be much more subtle not requiring test mules.
