2027 Ford Bronco Sport Guide: Trims, Engines, Sasquatch & Towing
Woody Anderson Ford • Huntsville, Alabama • Reviewed November 11, 2026
The 2027 Ford Bronco Sport comes in four trims — Big Bend, Heritage, Outer Banks and Badlands — and every one is 4×4. Big Bend, Heritage and Outer Banks use a 180-horsepower 1.5L EcoBoost; Badlands steps up to a 250-horsepower 2.0L EcoBoost with Advanced 4×4. Properly equipped, Bronco Sport can tow up to 2,200 pounds with the 1.5L and 2,700 pounds with the 2.0L. This guide explains what changed for 2027, how the trims differ, which off-road and comfort packages matter, and what to check before you choose a small SUV that can leave the pavement.

What’s new for the 2027 Ford Bronco Sport?
The lineup and engines carry over, but Ford reshuffled standard equipment and packages for 2027. The four trims — Big Bend, Heritage, Outer Banks and Badlands — return, Auto Start-Stop is removed from every trim, and several comfort features move from standard equipment into packages.
- New colors: Glacier Gray Metallic Tri-Coat, Gladwin Green Metallic and Neptune Blue Metallic join the palette. Azure Gray, Carbonized Gray and Space White are discontinued.
- Blue Ford Oval: a blue oval is now standard, replacing the black oval previously used with the Black Appearance Package.
- New and expanded packages: a Heritage Tech Package with B&O audio and Connected Navigation; a Camping Package for Outer Banks and Badlands; the Black Appearance Package now offered on Outer Banks; an Interior Protection Package on Badlands; and a seven-year Ford Security Package available on every trim.
- Badlands Premium Package: the former Badlands Tech Package is renamed. Dual-zone climate control, an 8-way power driver’s seat, one-touch up/down windows, illuminated visor mirrors and an auto-dimming rearview mirror now come with this package instead of as Badlands standard equipment.
- Big Bend updates: 17-inch black steel wheels and new cloth seats are standard. A 17-inch Carbonized Gray high-gloss aluminum wheel is optional, and the Convenience Package now adds heated mirrors, easy-to-clean cloth and a rear center armrest.
- Outer Banks seating: the standard passenger seat changes from 6-way power to 6-way manual; power returns with the Outer Banks Tech Package, which also adds the 12.3-inch digital cluster and auto-dimming mirror.
- SYNC 4 voice change: Enhanced Voice Recognition is removed from SYNC 4 for 2027. Owners can still use voice through wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Alexa Built-in.
Equipment information is based on Ford’s 2027 Bronco Sport order guide dated November 2, 2026 and Ford’s 2027 Bronco Sport Product Information Guide (v1.0, August 17, 2026). Features and availability can change; check the current order and the individual vehicle’s window sticker.
2027 Bronco Sport Big Bend vs. Heritage vs. Outer Banks vs. Badlands
Pick the trim for the equipment you want, then confirm the packages on the specific vehicle. Every 2027 Bronco Sport is a five-passenger 4×4 with an 8-speed automatic, a 13.2-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+. The differences are in powertrain, off-road hardware, styling and comfort features.

| Big Bend | 1.5L EcoBoost, five G.O.A.T. Modes, HOSS 1.0 off-road-tuned suspension, 17-inch black steel wheels, cloth seats and an 8-inch digital cluster. | The value starting point. Look for the Convenience Package (heated front seats, 8-way power driver’s seat, heated mirrors) or the Black Diamond Off-Road Package (skid plate, steel bumper plates, tow package, all-terrain tires). |
| Heritage | Retro styling: Oxford White roof and grille with red “BRONCO” lettering, 17-inch Oxford White wheels, all-terrain tires, plaid cloth seats and Navy Pier interior accents. | Offered in three colors (Shadow Black, Ruby Red and Robin’s Egg Blue).

Driver-assistance features support the driver and have operating limitations. They do not replace attention or responsibility for controlling the vehicle; consult the Owner’s Manual.
Which engines and 4×4 systems does the 2027 Bronco Sport offer?
Big Bend, Heritage and Outer Banks use a 1.5L EcoBoost rated at 180 horsepower; Badlands uses a 2.0L EcoBoost rated at 250 horsepower. Both engines are paired with an 8-speed automatic and four-wheel drive. Badlands adds SelectShift paddle shifters.

| Engine | Horsepower | Torque (lb.-ft.) | Max. towing (lbs.) | Trims and drivetrain |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.5L EcoBoost | 180 | 200 | 2,200 | Big Bend, Heritage and Outer Banks. 4×4 standard; Advanced 4×4 with the Sasquatch Outer Banks Package. |
| 2.0L EcoBoost | 250 | 280 | 2,700 | Badlands. Advanced 4×4 with twin-clutch rear drive unit; SelectShift paddle shifters. |
Ford horsepower and torque ratings are based on premium fuel per SAE J1349; your results may vary. Maximum towing requires the factory Class II Trailer Tow Package and varies with cargo, accessories and passengers. The November 2, 2026 order guide lists 2027 fuel-economy ratings as TBD; we are not substituting prior-year figures.
What does Advanced 4×4 add?
Advanced 4×4 uses a twin-clutch rear drive unit that can send up to 100% of available rear-axle torque to either rear wheel, which helps on uneven terrain, mud, snow and rocky trails. It is standard on Badlands and included with the Sasquatch Outer Banks Package.
Which Bronco Sport is best for off-roading?
Badlands is the most trail-ready trim as delivered, and the Sasquatch packages push Outer Banks and Badlands further. Big Bend can add useful protection and towing hardware with the Black Diamond Off-Road Package.
On a phone, swipe comparison tables sideways to see every column.
| Package or trim | Available on | Key off-road equipment |
|---|---|---|
| Black Diamond Off-Road Package | Big Bend | Steel-plated front bumper, front D-ring recovery hooks, under-engine skid plate, Class II tow package, 17-inch Carbonized Gray wheels and all-terrain tires. |
| Sasquatch Outer Banks Package | Outer Banks (requires Outer Banks Tech Package) | Advanced 4×4 with twin-clutch rear drive unit, HOSS 2.0 suspension, Trail Control with Trail One-Pedal Drive, steel-plated bumpers, front and rear D-rings, high-clearance fender flares, skid plate and fuel-tank shields, 235/65R17 all-terrain tires. |
| Badlands (standard) | Badlands | 2.0L EcoBoost, Advanced 4×4, HOSS 2.0, seven G.O.A.T. Modes with differential lock, Trail Control, front bash plate, skid plate, fuel-tank shields, front D-rings and 360-degree camera with Trail View. |
| Sasquatch Badlands Package | Badlands | HOSS 3.0 suspension with rear Bilstein position-sensitive dampers, 850W engine cooling fan, steel-plated rear bumper, rear D-rings, high-clearance fender flares and 235/65R17 all-terrain tires. |
What are G.O.A.T. Modes?
G.O.A.T. Modes are Ford’s Terrain Management settings. Big Bend, Heritage and Outer Banks have five: Normal, ECO, Sport, Slippery and Off-Road. Badlands has seven, adding Rock Crawl and Rally, plus a differential lock and a rotary terrain-mode controller on the console.
What is HOSS suspension?
HOSS stands for High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension. Big Bend, Heritage and standard Outer Banks use HOSS 1.0, tuned for everyday driving and moderate trail speeds. Badlands and the Sasquatch Outer Banks Package use HOSS 2.0, with heavy-duty dampers and hydraulic rebound stops for better articulation on rocky ground. The Sasquatch Badlands Package steps up to HOSS 3.0 with rear Bilstein position-sensitive monotube dampers.
What are Trail Control and Trail 1-Pedal Drive?
Ford Trail Control works like low-speed cruise control off-road: the driver sets a speed between 1 and 20 mph and steers while the system manages acceleration and braking. Trail 1-Pedal Drive lets the driver control speed with just the accelerator, down to a stop. Both are standard on Badlands and included in the Sasquatch Outer Banks Package. They are driving aids and do not replace the driver’s attention or judgment.
Always consult the Owner’s Manual before off-road driving, know your terrain and trail difficulty, and use appropriate safety gear.

Is Bronco Off-Roadeo included with a 2027 Bronco Sport?
Yes. Ford includes a Bronco Off-Roadeo experience with the purchase of a Bronco Sport. It is a full-day, hands-on program with expert-led trail rides and instruction on G.O.A.T. Modes and Trail Control. Vehicles are provided; owners cover their own travel and lodging.
Ford lists two Bronco Sport locations: the Great Smoky Mountains in Maryville, Tennessee — the closer option for North Alabama owners — and Moab, Utah. Eligibility, scheduling and terms are set by Ford; see broncooffroadeo.com/broncosport for details.
Bronco Sport vs. Bronco: what’s the difference?
Bronco Sport is the smaller, everyday-friendly member of the Bronco family; Bronco is the larger body-on-frame off-roader with removable roof and doors. Bronco Sport shares the Bronco look and G.O.A.T. Modes in a compact, five-passenger SUV that is easier to park and drive daily.
If you want removable doors and roof panels, two- or four-door body styles or more extreme off-road capability, compare the Ford Bronco and read our 2027 Bronco: What Changed? guide. If you mainly need a small, practical vehicle with an open bed, compare the Ford Maverick. Bring your garage measurements, passenger needs and gear list so we can compare specific vehicles.
