Conquer Every Trail: How the 2025 Ford Bronco Handles Midwest Adventures

Chicago winters, suburban trails, and weekend escapes demand a vehicle that can handle it all. The 2025 Ford Bronco® delivers rugged capability that lets you explore every corner of the Midwest without hesitation. Navigating muddy forest paths, rocky trails, or waterlogged roads becomes effortless with engineering designed for control and confidence. Bronco combines performance, practical off-road features, and thoughtful interior design to keep you comfortable and in command during every adventure.

The 2025 Ford Bronco’s Off-Roading Excellence

The Bronco lineup features suspension systems built for trail dominance. High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension (HOSS) Systems provide strong handling and responsive control in harsh conditions. Raptor models feature HOSS 4.0 with FOX™ Live Valve Technology, internal bypass semi-active dampers, and integrated front and remote rear reservoirs. Badlands and Heritage Editions offer HOSS 3.0 with heavy-duty steering racks, steel bash plates, and long-travel dampers. Base and Outer Banks models include HOSS 1.0, delivering long-travel coil-over springs and tuned dampers for confident handling on rough terrain.

Ground clearance reaches 13.1 inches, and water fording extends up to 37 inches. Approach, breakover, and departure angles allow the Bronco to conquer steep inclines and obstacles without hesitation. Stabilizer bar disconnect and steel bash plates protect the undercarriage while improving maneuverability on technical trails. Large 35-inch tires on select models help maintain traction over mud, sand, and rocks.
