There are few vehicles as iconic as the two-door Ford Bronco. From its introduction in 1966 to the current sixth-generation these rugged SUVs are instantly recognizable both on the road and on the trail. In 1966 it cost consumers $2,194 to get a brand new two-door Bronco. Adjusted for inflation, that’s about $22,015 in today’s money. Unfortunately, getting into a two-door 2025 Bronco will set you back more than double that figure.
From Six Broncos To Three
For the 2024 model year Ford offered six different Bronco trims available in two-door configuration. These included Big Bend, Black Diamond, Heritage, Badlands, Wildtrak, and Heritage Limited. All but the base Big Bend could be fit with the optional 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine. This made the least expensive two-door V6 Bronco a Black Diamond, which started at $49,960.
Digging into the 2025 Bronco configurator we’ve found that Ford has not only dropped the number of trims available in the two-door arrangement but has also dropped the V6 option from all but one. Down from six in 2024, the 2025 Bronco two-door trims include only Base, Badlands, and Stroppe Edition. And of those, only the fully kitted Stroppe Edition offers a V6 engine… and starts at a whopping $77,530.
The 2025 Stroppe Edition Ford Bronco Is Badass
It’s not all bad news, however, as the 2025 Stroppe Edition Bronco is quite a righteous beast. This limited-edition Bronco features a design inspired by the legendary Stroppe Baja Bronco. Bill Stroppe raced a Bronco with a similar livery in the Baja 1000 numerous times in the 1960s and ‘70s. Standard equipment on the Stroppe Edition Bronco closely mimics that of a Wildtrak.
Geared as a high-speed desert-runner, the Stroppe Edition Bronco sports Fox Live Valve 3.1-inch internal bypass semi- active shocks. The dampers are part of the High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension 3.0, known as HOSS 3.0. There’s also a standard stabilizer bar disconnect to improve wheel travel. The Sasquatch package is standard and that includes 35-inch Goodyear Territory RT tires on beadlock-capable 17-inch wheels, along with front and rear electronic differential lockers. The Bronco’s 2.7-liter V6 engine is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and the SUV has 4.70:1 axle gearing.
Wild Colors Inside And Out
The exterior of the Bronco Stroppe Edition features Code Orange, Oxford White, and Atlas Blue colors. Ford says this is a modern take on the original Calypso Coral, Wimbledon White, and Astra Blue coloring of the Stroppe Baja Broncos. The hood is matte black, which helps to reduce sun glare. Up front, there’s a Frozen White grille, while the towhooks and standard steel bumper feature Code Orange. There’s also branding on the SUV’s front fenders that leave no doubt it’s a Bronco Stroppe Edition. Other features include Code Orange squared-off high-clearance fenders and removable side steps equipped with integrated rock rails.
Inside, the Stroppe Edition Bronco has a white instrument mid-panel, which was first introduced in the Bronco Heritage. There’s also Code Orange accents throughout. This includes the “Bronco” branding on the dashboard, accents on the G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) mode dial bezel, and details within the grab handles. Code Orange contrast stitching is also found on the dash topper and seats. And each Stroppe Edition has model-specific badging on the center console.
Is There A Cheaper Ford Bronco?
There is good news to be found in all of this, however. If you’re willing to settle for a 2.0-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine, anyway. The 2025 Bronco Base starts at just $39,890, for either a two or four-door model. You can also get a four-door Outer Banks with the 2.7-liter V6 for just $51,980. With just a little flexibility, there’s plenty of Bronco bargains still to be had.
