2027 Ford Bronco Guide: Trims, Engines, RTR, Raptor & Towing
Woody Anderson Ford • Huntsville, Alabama • Reviewed November 11, 2026
The 2027 Ford Bronco comes in eight series — Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, Badlands, Heritage Edition, RTR, Filson and Raptor — and every one is 4×4. A 2.3L EcoBoost is standard on most models, a new 3.0L EcoBoost V6 replaces the previous 2.7L V6, and Raptor uses a high-output 3.0L V6. Properly equipped, most 2027 Broncos are rated to tow up to 3,500 pounds and Raptor up to 4,500 pounds. This guide explains how the trims, engines, 4×4 systems, suspensions and packages differ so you can narrow the right Bronco before you visit.

What’s new for the 2027 Ford Bronco?

- New RTR and Filson series: RTR brings Hyper Lime styling and standard front and rear lockers; Filson is a premium four-door with leather-trimmed seating and the Sasquatch, Mid and Lux packages standard. The Stroppe Edition is discontinued.
- Colors: Neptune Blue is new, Field Green Metallic is exclusive to Filson, and Iron Sands Copper Metallic comes with the Filson First Edition Package. Orange Fury and Velocity Blue are discontinued.
- Technology: a 5G modem is now standard on every series, and the blue Ford oval replaces the black oval.
- Equipment moves: LED signature headlamps and LED taillamps become an option on Outer Banks and Badlands, Outer Banks seating now depends on the Mid or Lux package, and the Lux Package B&O system moves to 10 speakers with a 12-speaker system offered separately.
Equipment information is based on Ford’s 2027 Bronco order guide dated October 13, 2026 and Ford product-training materials. Features and availability can change; check the current order and the individual vehicle’s window sticker.

Two-door or four-door? Hard top or soft top?
For 2027, the two-door Bronco is offered on Base and Badlands; every other series is four-door only. Both body styles have removable doors and roof panels for open-air driving.
- Base and Badlands two-door: a Carbonized Gray molded-in-color hard top is standard.
- Four-door models: a black cloth soft top is standard on most series, with molded-in-color and painted hard tops available. Dual Tops adds a soft top alongside the hard top.
- Series-specific tops: Heritage Edition has an Oxford White hard top, Filson a painted hard top, Raptor a Carbonized Gray hard top, and RTR a black soft top.
If you plan to remove the doors often, ask about storage bags and where the doors will live at home. Four-door models with the soft top can store doors on the vehicle with available door bags.
How much can the 2027 Bronco tow?
Ford’s 2027 towing guide rates most Bronco configurations at up to 3,500 pounds and Raptor at up to 4,500 pounds. A few 2.3L and 3.0L combinations are rated at 3,440 or 3,480 pounds, so check the exact configuration.
- Equipment required: trailers over 2,000 pounds require dealer-installed towing equipment — including the hitch receiver, 7-wire harness with 4-/7-pin connector and trailer module. Ford notes the New Vehicle Limited Warranty may be voided if you tow without it.
- Raptor: includes its tow package with hitch receiver, auxiliary transmission cooler, Tow/Haul mode and trailer sway control.
- Hitch limits: the Bronco hitch receiver is rated for 3,500 pounds with a 350-pound maximum tongue load; Raptor’s for 4,500 and 450 pounds.
- Trailer frontal area: limited to 30 square feet with dealer-installed equipment and 40 square feet for Raptor.
Can a Bronco be flat-towed behind an RV?
Yes. Ford lists the 2027 Bronco as approved for four-wheel-down towing with both the automatic and manual transmissions when the Owner’s Manual procedure is followed. Ford does not approve towing a Bronco on a tow dolly, because four-wheel-drive vehicles cannot be towed with two wheels lifted.
Confirm ratings and procedures for the actual vehicle in Ford’s 2027 RV & Trailer Towing Guide or with our team. Maximum towing varies with cargo, configuration, accessories and passengers.
Bronco RTR vs. Filson vs. Raptor: which special model fits?
RTR is the styled, trail-ready 2.3L model; Filson is the premium V6 model; Raptor is the high-speed desert machine.
2027 Bronco RTR
RTR pairs the 2.3L EcoBoost and 10-speed automatic with standard front and rear lockers, high-clearance suspension, 33-inch rugged-terrain tires on beadlock-capable wheels, Hyper Lime exterior accents and marine-grade vinyl seats with Hyper Lime stitching. The Mid Package with B&O audio is standard, and the Sasquatch Package with RTR Suspension adds HOSS 3.0 with FOX dampers. Ford’s 2027 towing guide notes RTR availability in early 2027.
2027 Bronco Filson
Filson combines the 3.0L V6 with the Sasquatch, Mid and Lux packages, HOSS 3.0 with FOX dampers, 35-inch tires and power running boards. Inside are leather-trimmed, heated and ventilated front seats with 10-way power for the driver, heated rear seats, Radiant Copper accents and Filson-specific trim.
2027 Bronco Raptor
Raptor uses a high-output 3.0L V6, HOSS 4.0 with FOX Live Valve dampers, 37-inch all-terrain tires, a wide-body stance, front and rear lockers and heavy-duty steel bash plates. It is the only Bronco rated to tow up to 4,500 pounds.
Bronco vs. Bronco Sport: what’s the difference?
Bronco is the larger, body-on-frame off-roader with removable doors and roof panels; Bronco Sport is a compact five-passenger SUV built for everyday driving with Bronco styling. Bronco offers manual transmissions, two-door models, locking differentials across much of the lineup and up to 37-inch tires on Raptor.
