Out of all seven available trims, the Bronco Badlands is the most focused on all-terrain capability. It has its own unique suspension settings and can be powered by two different engine options.

Dimensions

The 2021 Bronco Badlands 2-door model measures 174 inches long, 76 inches wide, and about 72 inches high. And the 4-Door Badlands is 189 inches long.

According to Ford’s estimation, total cargo volume in the Bronco Badlands 4-door is 35.6 cubic feet, versus a little more than 22 cubic feet in the 2-door (when both are fitted with the hardtop).

Engine

The Badlands trim is available with a choice of two turbocharged 4-cylinder engines.

A turbocharged 2.3-liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder coupled to a 7-speed manual transmission serves as the base powertrain. This engine’s 270 horsepower and 310 lb-ft of torque is routed to an upgraded 4-wheel drive system with seven driver-selectable drive modes, including a Rock Crawl mode.

Optional is a turbocharged 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 paired to a 10-speed automatic. This combo delivers a total of 310 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. Adding the Towing Capability package results in a maximum tow rating of 3,500 pounds with either engine or body-style choice.

Tires

The Badlands comes equipped with 17-inch gray painted alloy wheels with 33-inch all-terrain tires. The available Sasquatch Package adds larger 35-inch tires, beadlock-capable wheels, wider fenders, and beefier suspension.
