Ford introduced nine trim levels when they relaunched the iconic Bronco. This guide will focus on three of the top selling trims: The Badlands, Wildtrak, and Raptor.
Major Differences
The suspension and engine differences between the trim levels are the largest contributors to price change.
Badlands
The Bronco Badlands starts at around $50,000 and is equipped with Ford’s High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension (HOSS). The badlands contains a 2.0 HOSS, with the option to upgrade to the Sasquatch lift. Although it’s not the base level Bronco, the Badlands is still on the lower end of the nine trims.
It comes with a 2.3L EcoBoost engine with the option to upgrade to a 2.7L. Many other elements of the Badlands can also be upgraded. additions include a sturdier hard top, B&O Sound, and improved safety features.
Wildtrak
The Bronco Wildtrak comes standard as an off-road ready vehicle. The Sasquatch package is included, with HOSS 3.0 suspension, a hardtop, and the 2.7L EcoBoost engine.
Aftermarket lift kits can be paired with the HOSS suspension for an even bolder look. 2.25″ Zone upper control arms or a Rough Country 3.5″ lift allow just enough space for larger 35″ Tires and 22×12 wheels to fit on the Bronco.
Raptor
The Raptor is the top-level trim of the Ford Bronco. It’s the only trim out of the three listed here that comes with the powerful 3.0L EcoBoost engine. It’s slightly different in appearance as well, with unique “FORD” lettering and body color fender flares. The Raptor comes standard with a majority of the features that Ford offers via upgrade.
The Lux package, upgraded towing and safety features, and 4.0 HOSS suspension are all standard on the Raptor. Electronic locking front and rear axels, parking sensors, and a front stabilizer bar disconnect are also included.

Ultimately, most of the Bronco’s trim levels are eligible for a wide variety of the upgrade packages and features that Ford offers. Although this makes for a lot of overlap between the trims, the main components of the vehicle still set the trim levels apart. The exterior appearance, engines, and suspension options are the main things to consider when it comes time to pick your trim level.
