Proven Performance and Off-Road Capability
Under the hood of this 2025 Ford Bronco Outer Banks lies the potent EcoBoost 2.3L I-4 gasoline direct injection engine. This sophisticated powerplant utilizes a DOHC, Ti-VCT variable valve control system and an intercooled turbo to deliver an impressive 275HP. This engine is perfectly paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, which provides smooth, precise shifting whether you are accelerating onto the highway or navigating the gently rolling plains around Tuscola, IL. The inclusion of an overdrive transmission and lock-up transmission technology ensures that power delivery is efficient and responsive across all ten gears.
The drivetrain is a robust Four Wheel Drive system featuring Part-Time Selectable Engagement, allowing you to adapt to changing road conditions on the fly. To further enhance your control, the Terrain Management System offers driver-selectable drivetrain modes, ensuring the vehicle is optimized for everything from slick pavement to loose gravel. The foundation of this Bronco is built on the HOSS 1.0 off-road ride suspension, featuring a Short And Long Arm Front Suspension w/Coil Springs and a Solid Axle Rear Suspension w/Coil Springs. This setup provides a stable, comfortable ride on the pavement while maintaining the articulation needed for light trail work. With gas-pressurized shock absorbers and front and rear anti-roll bars, the Bronco maintains its composure through every turn, making it as capable on rural backroads as it is on the interstate.
Advanced Technology and Seamless Connectivity
Modern life requires staying connected, and the 2025 Ford Bronco Outer Banks excels with its suite of advanced digital features. The centerpiece of the cabin is the massive 12 inch primary display featuring a primary monitor touchscreen that serves as your command center.

With 4 USB ports distributed throughout the cabin, everyones devices stay charged and ready for action. The inclusion of SYNC 4 with Enhanced Voice Recognition even allows for a built-in virtual assistant, making it easier than ever to find a new restaurant or check the weather while on the move.
Premium Comfort and Interior Refinement
The interior of the Outer Banks trim is a masterclass in balancing durability with luxury. The LTHR-TRIM/VINYL BLACK SEATS offer a premium feel and are easy to maintain after a day spent outdoors. Both the driver and front passenger enjoy heated front seats, with the driver benefiting from an 8-way directional control seat including 2-way power lumbar support. The leather and metal-look steering wheel is also heated, providing extra comfort during those brisk Illinois mornings. The cabin environment is managed by a dual-zone front climate control system with voice-activated climate control, ensuring both the driver and passenger can find their perfect temperature setting.
Practicality is woven into the design, with features like 2 12V DC Power Outlets and 1 Interior 120V AC Power Outlet, perfect for charging larger electronics or powering small accessories during a tailgate. The 60-40 folding split-bench rear seat provides versatility for hauling gear, while the carpet cargo area floor and cargo area tie downs keep your belongings secure. Thoughtful touches like selectable color ambient lighting, metal-look interior accents, and a leather and metal-look gear shifter elevate the overall aesthetic of the cabin. Whether you are stuck in traffic or cruising through the countryside, the fade-to-off interior lighting and deep tinted glass create a private, serene atmosphere for all five occupants.
Comprehensive Safety and Driver Assistance
Safety is paramount in the 2025 Ford Bronco Outer Banks, which comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of driver-assist technologies. The Ford Co-Pilot360 system includes BLIS (Blind Spot Information System) and Cross-Traffic Alert, providing an extra set of eyes when changing lanes or backing out of tight spaces. The Lane-Keeping System helps prevent unintended drifting, while the Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection and Predictive brake assist system work proactively to help mitigate or avoid potential frontal impacts.
Parking and maneuvering are made simple with the Reverse Sensing System rear parking sensors and a high-resolution back-up camera. The vehicle also features Post-Collision Braking, which automatically applies the brakes after an initial impact to help prevent a secondary collision. For families, the manual rear child safety door locks and the Safety Canopy System with curtain first and second-row overhead airbags provide peace of mind.

Striking Exterior Design and Utility

The Black grille and Body-colored fender flares provide a sophisticated, cohesive look that distinguishes the Outer Banks from more basic trims. This model features a Hard Top with a manual convertible roof and a first-row targa composite sunroof, giving you the flexibility to enjoy the open air whenever the weather permits.
