We finally have the pricing and spec details for the highly anticipated Bronco RTR. We’re getting two different variations of this off-road beast, and as someone who spends plenty of time out on the trails, I have some strong thoughts on how Ford and RTR have put this together. Let’s break down exactly what you get for the money so you’re ready when the order banks open up. The Main Event: Base RTR vs. Sasquatch RTR For 2027, the Bronco RTR is coming in two distinct packages. Here is how they stack up on paper and at the cash register: Feature / Spec Base RTR Sasquatch with RTR Suspension Starting MSRP ~$50,000+ (before destination) ~$60,000 (before destination) Suspension System Wide-track HOSS 1.0 + Lift HOSS 3.0 Fox Internal Bypass Dampers Tires & Wheels 33-inch tires / 17-inch beadlock-capable 35-inch aggressive off-road tires Engine / Tuning 2.3L calibration w/ anti-lag & upgraded cooling 2.3L calibration w/ anti-lag & upgraded cooling Exterior Highlights Squared fender flares, RTR lighting & graphics Heavy-duty modular front bumper, RTR graphics Interior & Accents Optional Hyperlime graphics packages Standard Hyperlime interior accents The Base RTR: This setup is going to start right over the $50,000 mark (MSRP before destination). For that price, you're getting a unique wide-track HOSS 1.0 suspension that combines a suspension lift with 33-inch tires. Under the hood, it features the 2.3L calibration with anti-lag and upgraded engine cooling. Visually, it stands out with 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, squared-off fender flares, signature RTR lighting, and RTR spec design elements. You can also option it with the exclusive Hyperlime appearance and graphics packages. The Sasquatch with RTR Suspension: If you want to go all-out, this package will run you just under $60,000 before destination. It adds serious off-road goodies, including 35-inch tires, a Ford Racing heavy-duty modular front bumper, and the coveted HOSS 3.0 Fox internal bypass dampers. This price point also includes those aggressive exterior graphics and the Hyperlime interior accents right out of the gate. Deep Dive: Suspension Mysteries and Missing Lockers Now, let’s get into the weeds, because there are a few things about this spec sheet that have me scratching my head. First, the base RTR information doesn't explicitly mention a rear locker. As an off-roader who has tackled difficult trails like Top of the World out in Utah, a rear locker is essential to me. While the RTR is heavily inspired by desert running—where you might not need a locker to blast through the dunes—it's a crucial piece of equipment if you get bogged down in deep ruts. I really hope Ford clarifies this, because a standard off-road package bearing the RTR name absolutely needs a rear locker. Second, let's talk about the Sasquatch RTR package featuring the HOSS 3.0 dampers. With Ford officially calling this the "RTR Suspension package," I'm making a prediction: I think the HOSS 3.0 is going to be taken away from the standard Badlands trim for 2027. If the HOSS 3.0 becomes exclusive to the RTR or Raptor trims, that’s going to dramatically shift how we build and price out our Badlands orders. Let's hope I'm wrong, but that's my gut feeling right now. Customer Focus: What Does This Mean for Your Order? So, where does the RTR sit in the overall Bronco lineup? Based on the numbers, I expect the base RTR to slide in just under a standard Badlands build (which currently runs around $50,550 with an automatic transmission). However, the Sasquatch RTR at $60,000 is going to come in higher than a Badlands Sasquatch equipped with the HOSS 3.0 upgrade. You’ll have to decide if the exclusive RTR appearance, Hyperlime accents, and unique RTR engine tuning are worth the premium over a similarly equipped Badlands. For die-hard RTR fans, the aggressive styling and anti-lag calibration might make it an absolute no-brainer. Conclusion & Call to Action We are going to find out exactly how these configurations look on the system very soon, because the 2027 Bronco order banks are scheduled to open up on October 13th!
