I’m here with the 2025 Ford Bronco, and this is the Heritage Edition. What’s really cool about the Heritage Edition—aside from the white wheels, white pinstriping, white roof, white grille, and some unique interior touches—is that it comes standard with the Sasquatch package. That means you get 35-inch all-terrain tires. And what does the Sasquatch package really do for you? Well, I’ll show you on the trails.
Today, we’re doing exactly what you’re supposed to do with a Bronco Heritage equipped with the Sasquatch package: heading up into the mountains in beautiful British Columbia. We’re going to take on some trails, and I wanted to bring you along with me. So let’s go.
Right now, we’re on a forest service road. These are backcountry roads used to service forests and for logging trucks. This is usually how it starts—you find some forest service roads up in the mountains, and the trails branch off from these gravel service roads.
It’s fall here in BC, as you can see, with some beautiful fall colors. There are a lot of potholes, but the Bronco is doing great.
I’ve just reached the trailhead. Now it’s time to head down the mountain, all the way to that lake you can see down there and the beach.
This one makes 330 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. As you can see, the articulation is very good. Good times.
That’s Harrison Lake in the background. Isn’t it beautiful?
With the Bronco, you have two engine choices: a four-cylinder or a V6. This is the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. It tows up to 3,500 pounds.
We did air down the tires a bit to give us more grip when rolling over rocks like this. Airing down gives you better traction, a slightly softer ride, and overall smoother progress. And that’s rock crawling in the Bronco Heritage with the Sasquatch package.
We’re getting close to the beach now. And we made it—we’re down at the beach. The only people down here are off-roaders. I’ll show you what they’re up to. This would be my ideal camping setup.
Look at these two Jeeps out here. They’ve got all their gear, a fire going, and they look pretty cozy and happy in this beautiful spot.
Now, as we leave the beach, we’re heading back to the trail.
With the Heritage Edition, the Sasquatch package includes steel bumpers, recovery hooks front and rear, a front skid plate for underbody protection, squared-off and more flared fenders, and those 35-inch all-terrain tires. The white wheels are part of the Heritage package. You also get Bilstein shocks, a rear steel bumper, and a rear recovery hook.
With the Bronco, you have several roof options: soft top, hard top, and this removable hard top. You can even get more than one top if you want. The panels come off easily—the front driver and passenger panels come off separately from the rear section. The driver’s side has to come off first, but you just lift it gently and it’s easy to remove, even for someone as vertically challenged as myself.
Inside, you get a nice, chunky steering wheel and a digital gauge cluster that’s customizable. Right now, I have it set to the Calm screen. There’s dual-zone climate control, heated seats, and a large touchscreen with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto. It’s been extremely responsive. The backup camera is very good—although it’s dirty right now from being off-road.
Up here, we have front and rear lockers and trail turn assist, along with auxiliary switches for light bars or off-road lighting. I love that we get two USB-C ports up front, plus a mounting point if you want to attach a GoPro or GPS equipment for off-road adventures.
This is the hard top, which does come off, and I’ll show you how that works. The plaid cloth seats are part of the Heritage Edition—kind of funky and fun. You’ve got two-high, four-high, and four-low here, along with the GOAT modes. Power window controls are located here because the doors come off. There’s a wireless charging pad, USB and USB-C ports, and a handy storage cubby.
The GOAT modes include Normal, Slippery, Eco, Sport, Mud/Sand, Mud/Ruts, and Off-Road. The system will automatically engage four-wheel drive when needed.
Since the doors come off, the window controls are mounted centrally. In the rear, you get two USB-C chargers, a household outlet, air vents, and the same plaid cloth seating that’s part of the Heritage package. I like the grab handles, and the entire rear section of the roof comes off as well.
At the back, the tailgate opens like this—you just need to be aware of it when parking. There’s lots of room back here, a 60/40 rear seat split, a 12-volt outlet, lighting, and the jack. Of course, the spare tire is mounted on the rear.
There’s plenty of cargo space, lots of tie-downs, and many configuration options. The Bronco is available as a two-door or four-door, with four-cylinder or six-cylinder engines, and multiple levels of off-road capability. Personally, I’d go with the Sasquatch package, and I especially love this Heritage Edition—although I still can’t say that properly.
The Bronco starts at around $51,000 Canadian, which is just under $40,000 US. This one comes in at about $75,000 Canadian as tested, or roughly $58,000 US based on the Ford website.

    Ford commercials: "Take our Bronco off road (accompanied by the screaming-guitar toxic masculinity soundtrack now featured on all our truck commercials)! Prove your manhood and run that sumb*tch over every craggy rock you can find!"


    Also Ford: "You blew out your turbo, transmission and transfer case over that craggy rock? Well, who told you could take your Bronco off road? No warranty for you. That'll be $16,000, please (cue screaming-guitar toxic masculinity soundtrack)".

    Translated: for 97% of these rigs, "off road" means you went up a dirt road on your way to the pumpkin patch.

      @FreedMike LOL. For the most part, true. I had joined a Bronco site but left it because I got sick and tired of all the posers.

    Great review! The 2025 Ford Bronco Heritage really stands out as a love letter to off‑road enthusiasts, blending nostalgic styling with modern capability. From an inspection and quality perspective, it’s encouraging to see Ford paying attention not just to looks but to chassis strength, suspension articulation, and build consistency — all critical factors for buyers who take their Broncos off paved roads. The Heritage’s combination of rugged capability with thoughtful heritage design cues makes it a compelling option for those who want both performance and character in a sport utility vehicle. Looking forward to seeing how it holds up through real‑world use!

  • Amwhalbi My 1972 Mercury Capri was my first stick shift car. God, I miss that thing. It was a blast to drive.
  • Vid169489471 The technology exists today to produce a variable color temperature (kelvin) LED lamp. It can vary from 2700k that soft orange look to 6500k the bright daylight with the bluish tint.Since everything in a late model car is computer controlled, it would be an easy task to write a few lines of code that enables your vehicle to not only dim down from hi to low beam but to shift color temp down to the 2700k range for oncoming traffic, then back up to 5000k once oncoming traffic has passed. For the operator it would be automatic and seamless. For older cars they could be retrofitted with LEDs that are 2700k on low beam and 5000k on hi beam. As far as standards, there could be a lumens max, and a minimum. Several States already have minimum lumen standards going back to the old incandescent bulbs. Why not update these to national standards.
  • Jam169859557 More regulation is needed for ALL vehicle lighting systems. [list=1][*]The lighting that is most blinding are the rapidly flashing red, blue and amber lights on emergency vehicles. The lights themselves are blinding, flashing so rapidly that it's impossible for even the sharpest eyes to adjust. What's worse, is the nature of the emergency requires a careful view of the area surrounding the emergency vehicle. There is something going on that needs to be seen. More flashing lights is not the solution.[/*][*]Brighter headlights need to be regulated. The tall riding vehicles do not need headlights positioned so high that they blind drivers in lower riding vehicles. And those heasdlights need to be aimed properly. When I first started driving my 2020 Subaru Outback, many drivers would flash their lights, hoping I would dim my lights. This stopped after I performed am easy adjustment that tilted the beam lower. Late model Subaru headlamps are designed with a sharp cutoff that project less glare above the hood line. When the headlights are properly aimed, other drivers are not blinded by the beam.[/*][*]Customized light assemblies make it more difficult to see the marker lights (tail lamps, turn signals and side marker lamps) that have been tinted. There are many municiple codes that prohibit this tinting, but these laws are seldom enforced.[/*][/list=1]Solutions: Tight controls on emergency vehicle lighting. In trying to make these vehicles more visible, a dangerous side effect is reducing the ability of drivers to see the surrounding perils.Headlight design regulations that reduce the height of the headlight assemblies. Just because a pickup truck has a hood that sits 4 feet abouve the pavement, it does not mean the headlights need to be so high. Owneres should maintain proper adjustments to their vehicle headlights.Establish and enforce regulation requiring a illumination standard be followed.
  • Stl170698708 as someone who hates big government, and their interference;but you can add me to the list of people that are blinded by the lights.unfortunately "the poop is out of the horse and no way is it going back in"They have had 5 years to make lights bigger, badder and brighter because in the vehicle work it is go big or go home!Trucks are the worst because so many people use them to express their dominance and that is big, big, big $$ both at the Original Purchase and in the Aftermarket world.If, we are so lucky to get some good government regulation on this it will also take some very good Court enforcement to get the aftermarket people with fines and lawsuits.Much like the EPA did with the Diesel Tuner Industry that felt emission regulations didn't apply to them.This is from someone that owns said pickup truck with the same bright headlights,but i only use the truck when I have too and always turn off the Fog lights when driving in traffic.
  • Art65765977 I saw a porsche 911 with the most amazing headlights from behind approaching the Sunshine skyway in Florida. The pattern was 108 degrees across sweeping the road like a broom. My brother and I were amazed. I don't know what it looked like from the front but i am sure it was better than American cars
