Is Ford going to majorly change the look of the bronco as the years go by?

[Jrl]

My hope would be a upgrade to Sync 4. Also, a 360 degree camera view like the 2023 Escape has.

I think that would be helpful in some offroad situations.

Iam guessing 2.3 4cyl full 360 cameras and 30 inch tires.

I'm only curious, And i don't hate the look of the bronco currently obivously.

Basically what i'm asking is,

Will there be a big redesign or are they expected to look the exact same for 10-20 years down the road with maybe some minor changes? Since every vehicle out there eventually gets a refresh. I just wonder if there's an aspect ford could 'update' / 'change' the bronco's styling.

Who knows if they will change the "Bronco" look in the future or if there will even be a Bronco. Currently the updated throwback look still seems popular among some manufacturers including Ford.

You ask a lot of Bronco questions in various thread's, are you going to buy or just kick tires.

• Seriously would like to see a hybrid option - NOT full eclectic.
• More robust front seats with flip down armrest for long drives- that low tiny one makes me lean over like I'm Mr. Cool cruising down the highway but I want to be Mr. Comfortable at my age.
• Bigger cup holders- the YETI bottle I got from FORD does not fit easily.
• Screen adjustment- Brightness/Contrast for front camara when in use.
• Record option on Front Camara when in use- microSD port
• For fun: Sisimito (Mexican Big Foot) Package
  • 3" Lift
  • 32" tires or smaller for better high speeds in Baja?
  • Full under armor w/rock siders
  • Tow Package, 7 pin- 3000-3500#
  • Full face grill guard with winch and bull horns
  • Overland roof rack with lights- all 4 sides
  • Snorkel- yes I said it.....discuss
  • High performance tuned for Baja
  • 21 gallon tank
  • Full size spare on rear swing out (leaves room for the bigger tank)

I think the biggest value ads on the mid-cycle refresh are going to be Sync 4 and the 360 camera.

We might even see a phone-as-a-key option, it exists already on the Sync 4 equipped Mach E and Lightning. These are easy ad-ons comparatively.

The 2025 spy shots would indicate a tweak in the front and rear ends. Most likely the grille and headlights will get a subtle change, the rear may add on some new badging but outside of that I'd not expect any major body work.

I would expect Ford to drop an option package to compete with the Subaru Wilderness models. They've been a runaway success for Subaru and every other automaker is rushing to get their macho off road trim into production.

I'm guessing it will be a specialty higher end variant...ST or Tremor. Think of it as a replacement for the Heritage Limited without diluting the emotional and economic value of the Limited.

It's hard to improve on perfection.?

Something I remind my wife with each day.

Ford got the memo with this and I think it'll be the 25 Badlands. People wanted more clearance...they get more clearance....people wanted more aggressive tires...they'll get more aggressive tires.

It'll be interesting for me to see if Ford offers that factory lift as I want to lift my car but I would prefer a Ford kit instead of after market.

I'm hoping for a Sasquatch package, which would include 360 degree cameras, 235/70/17 or 245/70/17 tires (though either may require something $$ be done about the spare tire situation) revised gearing (more spaced out to account for the larger diameter tires but still get good gas mileage) a revised front end to accommodate a factory optional winch. Greater than the Subaru wilderness ground clearance of 9.5", let's say 10". Maybe they could make some minor adjustment in the spare tire well and fit one of Goodyear‘s new Duratrac R/T’s, in a 235/70, in there but let’s hope they don’t water it down like they did with the Falken AT3W.

I expect they would want to include fender flares, which I have no desire for but it wouldn't stop me from getting it, if it was standard equipment. And as someone else mentioned a brightness/contrast screen adjustment and record function for the front camera, would be great. Also, fully wired with switches in place, for some optional exterior lighting.

This still leaves room for a future Raptor version with the 2.3 Eco boost and a 10 speed tranny, down the road.

I don't think it'll happen only
Because the default 8 speed in the bronco sport is a transaxle, transaxles are transmissions but for FWD platforms

The 10 speed is a RWD platform, it wont fit you cant use that one.

maybe look a little like this , I currently have 235/70/17 on my first edition badlands , rides perfectly

Waiting for the ford factory lift . Will not settle for anything less . I have a 8 year warranty on my first edition. Actually the clearance is around 10.5 inch

The styling is great. Though I wouldn't mind a little more luggage and rear seat legroom, but that would entail a major redesign. Just updating the electronics and switches a bit would go a long way with me:

Sync 4.
Infotainment screen that tilts towards the driver.
Music/radio titles that are synchronized between the screen and the dash.
More customization such as digital gauges that look retro for oil pressure, gas, temp, etc etc.
One toggle or wiggle switch for the side-view mirrors.
Auto-retracting side mirrors.
Console shifter knob instead of that stupid rotary dial.
Manual gear shifter on knob instead of paddle shifters (retro but much much more intuitive).
Rear-view camera that actually works well and clearly at night and in the rain.

Are you listening Ford?

Do you think a set up like yours (235/70/17) would fit on a non lifted Big Bend without any rubbing?

1) ICE/electric hybrid. 2) ICE/electric hybrid. 3) ICE/electric hybrid.

IMHO, Ford missed the mark on not making the Bronco Sport an ICE/electric hybrid from the very beginning.
