Short answer: The 2027 Ford Bronco comes in eight series — Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, Badlands, Heritage Edition, RTR, Filson and Raptor. The 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 is standard on six; the new 3.0L EcoBoost V6 (380 hp / 440 lb-ft, reported) is optional on Outer Banks, 4-door Badlands and Heritage and standard on Filson. The 2.7L V6 is gone, and the V6 is automatic only.
2027 Bronco pricing: Ford had not published full 2027 MSRPs as of October 31, 2026. Price signals here are reported (The Bronco Nation, Oct 12, 2026) and will be replaced with Ford's numbers once published.

Engines
| Engine | Code | Output | Transmission | Where |

| 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 | 99H | Ford has not published 2027 output | 7-speed manual (44Q) or 10-speed auto (44T) | Std Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, Badlands, Heritage, RTR |
| 3.0L EcoBoost V6 | 99N | 380 hp / 440 lb-ft (reported) | 10-speed auto only | Opt Outer Banks, 4-door Badlands, Heritage; std Filson (unique tune) |

Outputs are reported figures; we'll swap in Ford's published specs when available.
Manual buyers: the 7-speed (with crawler “granny” gear and hill descent) is available only with the 2.3L on Base, Big Bend, Badlands and Heritage. Outer Banks, RTR, Filson and Raptor are automatic only. Want a V6 and a clutch? That combination doesn't exist for 2027.
RTR's 2.3L gets its own calibration with anti-lag and a Raptor-style 1,000-watt cooling fan (The Bronco Nation, Oct 12, 2026); Ford hasn't published its horsepower.
4x4 systems and suspension
- Part-time selectable 4x4: Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks.
- Advanced 4x4 with automatic on-demand: Badlands, Heritage, RTR, Filson, Raptor — and any Bronco with Sasquatch (765) or Black Diamond (51D).
- Suspension: HOSS 1.0 (base), HOSS 2.0 with Bilstein dampers (Badlands), position-sensitive Bilstein with Sasquatch, HOSS 3.0 with FOX internal-bypass shocks (Badlands 52Z/Wildtrak 67B, RTR 67P, Filson), HOSS 4.0 with FOX Live Valve (Raptor).
Final drives
| Setup | Axle ratio | Lockers |
|---|---|---|
| Base manual / auto | 4.46 / 3.73 | Open |
| Badlands manual / auto | 4.7 / 4.46 | Front + rear e-lockers |
| Any Sasquatch | 4.7 | Front + rear e-lockers |
| RTR / RTR with 67P | 4.46 / 4.7 | Lockers std |
| Raptor | 4.7 | Lockers std |
Who each series is for
- Base — cheapest way in; 2-door gets the hard top, 4-door gets the soft top.
- Big Bend — most buyers' sweet spot; Mid (222A) adds heated seats and, for 2027, a heated wheel. Black Diamond (51D) adds steel bash plates, rear locker and a washout floor.
- Outer Banks — the road-trip Bronco; 18-inch wheels, body-color trim, the V6 option.
- Badlands — lockers, disconnecting sway bar with Sasquatch, Rock Crawl and Baja modes. The Wildtrak is now a Badlands package (67B).
- Heritage Edition — white hard top, red FORD grille, plaid, Sasquatch standard.
- RTR / Filson — new for 2027; see Filson and RTR.
- Raptor — 37-inch tires, HOSS 4.0, the most capable and most expensive.
How ordering works at Swant Graber Ford
- Pick series, engine, transmission, top and packages with us (or bring your ford.com Build & Price summary — images there can differ from production, so we confirm codes against the order guide).
- We review the window-build printout (WBDO) with you line by line — codes like 765, 51D, 41H.
- We order new Fords at invoice pricing with no mandatory dealer add-ons.
- Ford acknowledges the order (DORA) and it waits for allocation and scheduling. 2027 order banks were reported to open October 13, 2026 (The Bronco Nation, Oct 12, 2026); timing to delivery varies — see our factory order timeline.
Barron, Wisconsin notes
- Engine block heater (41H) is a factory option on every series — add it if the Bronco lives outside in January.
- Remote start moved out of several Mid packages for 2027; check that your build includes it.
- Soft top = no rear wiper. Salt spray makes that matter here.
- 35-inch R/T tires are capable in snow but louder on the highway; a set of winter tires on stock wheels is still the best winter setup. See 4WD modes in winter.
- Deer season: our deer-crash help page covers what to do after a hit.
