The 2025 Bronco near Cincinnati offers four engines to match your driving: a 2.3L EcoBoost (300 hp) for efficient daily use, 2.7L V6 (330 hp) for balanced performance, 3.0L EcoBoost V6 (418 hp) for power, and 2.7L V6 in Raptor (418 hp) for extremes. All pair with a 10-speed automatic and standard 4x4, delivering up to 11.6 inches ground clearance and 35-degree approach angles.
For Cincinnati-area drivers, the 2.3L hits 20 mpg combined—perfect for I-275 commutes—while maintaining trail-ready torque. Sasquatch packages add 35-inch tires and lockers across trims.
Ford's 10+ G.O.A.T. modes (Goes Over Any Terrain) automatically tune throttle, transmission, steering, and differentials for conditions like Mud/Ruts (perfect for Little Miami River banks), Rock Crawl (Eastgate limestone), or Slippery (Kentucky snow). Trail Control acts as low-speed cruise for technical sections, letting you focus on line choice.
Trail cameras (one-to-five views) show obstacles through 360 degrees, while stabilizer bar disconnects (Badlands+) maximize articulation over logs or boulders near Caesar Creek.
Marine-grade vinyl or leather-trimmed seats resist mud from Red River Gorge day trips. Washout interiors hose clean, with MOLLE panels and lockable storage for gear. Removable doors/roofs invite Ohio breezes on SR-32; four-door models seat five with 38.3 inches rear legroom.
Cargo spans 22.4 (rear seats up) to 83 cu ft folded—ample for kayaks or Pike Street Market hauls. Tech includes 12-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen, wireless CarPlay, B&O audio, and FordPass remote services.
Bronco's high-strength steel frame and five-star ratings pair with Co-Pilot360: automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping, adaptive cruise, and 360 cameras. Pre-Collision Assist detects pedestrians; rear cross-traffic braking aids trailhead parking.
