Ford has officially announced pricing details for the highly anticipated 2027 Ford Bronco RTR, confirming that the factory-backed off-road model will start at $50,790 before standard destination charges. Revealed earlier at the Detroit Auto Show, the new model stems from a collaboration between Ford and RTR Vehicles, an aftermarket powerhouse specializing in OEM-plus conversions.
When factoring in an estimated destination fee of $1,995 based on previous model years, the starting cost for the base Bronco RTR reaches approximately $52,785. This strategic price placement positions the RTR trim directly between the existing Bronco Badlands and the high-performance Bronco Raptor, offering enthusiasts a dedicated high-speed desert runner without pushing into the $80,000 territory of the flagship Raptor.
Performance Hardware and Engineering Upgrades
Engineers built the 2027 Ford Bronco RTR around agility, balance, and high-speed responsiveness in sand and open dirt. Rather than using a larger engine, the development team selected a 2.3-liter turbocharged EcoBoost four-cylinder engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. This choice keeps the nose lighter, helping the midsize SUV maneuver more dynamically across rough terrain.
To ensure the powertrain and chassis can handle aggressive driving, the RTR incorporates several components derived from the heavy-duty Bronco Raptor. Key mechanical enhancements include:
- A software-operated anti-lag system that activates in Baja Mode to keep the turbocharger spooled up when lifting off the throttle.
- Reinforced steering hardware and heavy-duty tie rods.
- A high-capacity 1,000-watt cooling fan for improved thermal management during high-speed desert runs.
- A wide-track High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension (HOSS) 1.0 system.
- Squared fenders and 17-inch unique beadlock-capable wheels wrapped in 33-inch tires.
The Sasquatch Package Option and Customization
Buyers looking for even more capability can opt for the optional Sasquatch Package. This upgrade pushes the Bronco RTR to beefier 35-inch rubber and swaps the standard suspension for a HOSS 3.0 system equipped with FOX Internal Bypass shock absorbers. Adding the Sasquatch Package, signature Hyper Lime color accents, and optional RTR topographic graphics brings the total MSRP to just under $60,000.
Cosmetically, the factory RTR stands out with its own unique front grille featuring integrated auxiliary lighting elements, heritage-style wheel arches, and distinctive interior branding with Hyper Lime details and a specialized startup screen.
