Changes to the 2025 Ford Bronco You May Not Know

Great info as always, Tim, thank you!

The running boards update for 2025 should help serve as a type of mud flap for the front, though not as thoroughly. I'm not a fan of the new console compartment, and the loss of the rear locker/aux switches would be a shame for me. Better lighting, sound deadening, and the vents in the rear are awesome, of course.

Great info. Love the new instrument panel. It looks so much better. I think the running boards are a big improvement. They cover the area under the door so much better.

Seems they really neutered the OB since you can't get auxiliary switches and no rear locker unless you Squatch it.

Yeah the pinch seams were unsightly.. Not sure who at Ford thought that exposing them was a good idea on the previous models.

I am not a fan of the new lower console area and I am not a fan of people losing the locker and the aux switches.

I might be weird but I actually like the pre 2025 instrument panel with the 'calm screen'. Not sure why it gets so much hate but like I said, I am weird and I dig it..

Thanks for the updates Tim. For now I am keeping my original Desert Sand Bronco.😆

Pretty much the same machine that it was 4 years ago, biggest change is the price. Who designs these “ hodgepodge” colored interiors?
History has shown that if it isn’t “Sasquatched”, it’s not a Bronco…

Thanks again, @fordvideoguy for delivering another quality video. You've earned that moniker and then some! Videos like these are also helpful to my dealer, who would hate to have me crawling around their new inventory to see what's been changed. LOL

I look forward to attending the half-day Bronco Off-Roadeo in Texas later next month. It will be nice to meet you. I wish Sarah could be there, too. For those who haven't seen them, Tim's "Ford Video Guy" YouTube videos are incredibly insightful, educational and entertaining. Totally worth viewing and becoming a subscriber.

Nice Video Tim, but based on what I've just seen there seems to be multiple discrepancies already in the builds.

I posted a bunch of pics yesterday from a brand new 2025 with painted roof and it seems to be different then the one you video'd. So is yours a left over white roof or is this color matched a left over?

I think the difference is the trim level. I can see your pictures are from a Badlands.

Yes

Yep, still weird though.

I have seen conflicting information online. Does anyone know if you get the “stitched dash” on a Badlands if you order the Marine Grade Vinyl vs. the Leather? I have seen it quoted both ways and the build and price doesn't say.

I have also heard the conflicting information.

I can tell you for a fact that the leather interior comes with a stitched dash—verified in person myself. I have been told by a salesman at my dealer that the vinyl interior comes without the stitched dash, but haven't put eyes on one myself. Online I've seen people say that both interiors come with a stitched dash, so we absolutely have conflicting info.

Checked out a 2025 Bronco Raptor myself with the paint-matched hard top.

Honestly... I didn't think I would like it at all going in—I prefer the contrasting look the Bronco has with the darker top and the lighter paint. BUT... I expected to hate the paint-matched top and I definitely didn't—noticeably better build quality than the older tops.

Always wondered what Darryl would look like with a color matched top. Now I think I want one.

Yeah, that’d be cool. It’s on the morning of Friday, March 21st. 🤟🏻

I like the stitched dashpads. They look great. It reminds me of the difference between the vinyl dashpad in my 2005 Mustang GT and the stitched leather dashpad in my 2007 Mustang GT. It also had a stitched cover on the console. I think it lends an air of refinement to the interior.

Having the plastic dash on my Badlands Bronco seems more appropriate. That, along with the marine-grade vinyl seats, literally gives it a "washable" interior. Leather is nice, but it seems out of place on the Badlands. It's like adding carpet; it's just one more thing to get stained and hold onto dirt. With my rubber flooring, it's easy to hose out the interior (which I've already done). That said, not everyone has the same intended use.

Where is the ashtray?
Jim Farley you seeing this...

Yep that’s exactly why I went with Carbonized Gray. Not a perfect top to body match but it was the most integrated looking Bronco at the time.

Yeah my brothers Basesquatch was carb gray. I really like that look. Don’t have a better picture he sold it after 4 months he needed a truck for his job.
