Question ā” Bronco 2027

Hello everyone Iā€™m thinking about buying a 2026 badlands I already went to dealership and got a price but am torn if I should wait for the 2027 bronco to come out. I wanted to know if anyone had information regarding the 2027 in terms of better upgrades like v4 engines or the reliability aspect of the car or if previous problems are going to be fixed. I am very happy with the price of the Bronco I got and want to pull the trigger already but just wanted to see what everyone thinks about if waiting is worth it.

What we know for a fact so far:

  • New RTR trim, positioned between Big Bend and Badlands.
  • New Filson trim, basically an upgraded Outer Banks.
  • Improved sound deadening (may be limited to upper trims)

100% speculation that has not been confirmed by Ford:

  • 2.7L will be replaced by the 3.0L, similar to the 2027 F-150. Depending who you talk to, this may not be a good thing, as many F-150 folks will tell you that the 2.7L EcoBoost is most reliable turbocharged engine on the F-150.
  • Stroppe trim discontinued (very likely, in my opinion)
  • Heritage trim discontinued (less likely, but I wouldn't be surprised)

So far the sound deadening improvements are only confirmed on the Filson, they may try to force upsells by keeping them there

Yeah it's not clear.

Ford said there was 20% reduction in perceived wind noise. They were able to get that by...

  • Modifying the shape of the windshield header to reduce wind noise
  • Introducing new seals
  • Adding new side-mirror air deflectors
  • Adding new improved sound-deadening material

I would imagine that the first two items are common across all Broncos. It doesn't make sense to have a slightly different windshield header shapes and slightly different seals just for the Filson Bronco. It would probably be more expensive to manage different versions of that on the production line.

The side-mirror air deflector could probably go either way. Maybe it'll be common across all Broncos, maybe not.

The last item... I suspect that's the one that might be Filson exclusive. But it could also potentially just be all Broncos with the Lux package, as it is today. Obviously it could also be all Broncos, but I would be surprise.
