The 2025 Ford Bronco Badlands Sasquatch makes its strongest case through hardware, not luxury trim. Badlands brings a disconnecting front stabilizer bar, underbody protection and a washout-capable cabin; Sasquatch adds the larger tire specification. The question is whether you need that combination, rather than whether it looks more imposing than a lower-trim Bronco.
This guide accompanies our 2025 Badlands Sasquatch video. Specifications come from Canadian model-year sources. The dated pricing examples below are reference builds, not an invoice for the vehicle in the video, whose VIN and complete option list have not been established.

Models available
The Canadian 2025 Bronco lineup includes Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, Badlands, Heritage Edition, Stroppe Edition and Raptor. Sasquatch is a package, not a separate trim. Badlands is available with two or four doors; the Canadian price examples here use four-door builds so body style does not hide part of the cost difference.
Big Bend is worth considering if you want the removable-roof Bronco experience without paying for the Badlands specification. Outer Banks puts more emphasis on cabin appointments. Badlands is the more focused alternative when the stabilizer-bar disconnect, protective hardware and washable interior are the reasons for buying this type of SUV.
Engine and transmission
Ford Canada’s archived 2025 model page lists the 2.3-litre EcoBoost four-cylinder and seven-speed manual as the Badlands starting combination, with a ten-speed automatic and 2.7-litre EcoBoost V6 available. The published outputs are 300 hp and 325 lb-ft for the four-cylinder, or 330 hp and 415 lb-ft for the V6. Those ratings use premium fuel under SAE J1349; they are not measured results from our video.
The manual is paired with the four-cylinder, while the V6 uses the automatic. Sasquatch should not be treated as shorthand for the V6: engine, transmission and off-road package are separate configuration decisions. Check all three when comparing advertised vehicles.
What Badlands and Sasquatch add
Badlands starts with HOSS 2.0 suspension and Bilstein position-sensitive dampers, a front stabilizer-bar disconnect, rock rails and full-underbody bash plates in the Canadian specification. Its standard tire size is 33 inches. The disconnect is an important distinction from choosing a Bronco mainly for its exterior styling, although equipment alone is not a substitute for suitable tires, safe technique and appropriate trail conditions.
The Sasquatch specification brings 35-inch LT315/70R17 tires, 17-inch wheels, high-clearance fender flares and a 4.70 axle ratio with front and rear electronic lockers. Ford’s archived Canadian performance page explains the package hardware. On Badlands, this is an upgrade to an already off-road-oriented model, not the package that creates every Badlands feature.
There is another distinction to check: the 2025 Canadian Badlands equipment list also offers a separate HOSS 3.0 package with FOX internal-bypass dampers. Do not assume every Badlands Sasquatch has FOX suspension, or identify the installed dampers from the Sasquatch name alone. The actual build sheet matters.
Towing and payload
The 2025 Ford Canada towing guide lists 3,460 lb for the four-door Badlands with the 2.7-litre V6, automatic and Sasquatch 4.70 axle. That is not the commonly quoted 3,500-lb figure. The four-door 2.3-litre automatic Sasquatch entry is 3,500 lb, illustrating why the engine and exact configuration matter.
Dealer-installed towing equipment is required above 2,000 lb. A tow-preparation package is not the same as a fitted hitch and wiring. The guide’s receiver rating is 3,500 lb with a 350-lb tongue-load limit, but the lower vehicle-specific limit still applies. Check the certification and tire-loading labels for the actual payload available after passengers, accessories, cargo and trailer tongue weight.
Fuel economy
The Canadian 2.7-litre Badlands Sasquatch reference sticker used below gives 13.7 L/100 km city, 13.1 highway and 13.4 combined. These are standardized ratings for that configuration, not observed consumption or a figure that applies to every Bronco. At 20,000 km a year, 13.4 L/100 km represents approximately 2,680 litres before accounting for how and where you actually drive.
Interior, technology and safety
The Badlands cabin combines marine-grade vinyl upholstery with rubberized, washout-capable flooring and drain plugs. Ford lists heated front seats, dual-zone climate control and overhead auxiliary switches with pre-run accessory wiring. The four-door’s standard front seats are manually adjusted; do not assume a higher off-road trim automatically includes every power-seat upgrade.
A 12-inch digital instrument display accompanies a 12-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility. Available equipment includes the 12-speaker B&O system, adaptive cruise control and upgraded camera coverage. Confirm the equipment group rather than using a screen size as evidence that the luxury package is fitted.
Canadian Badlands equipment also includes pre-collision assist with automatic emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert, lane keeping and rear parking sensors. These assist the driver; they do not make the vehicle self-driving. Removable doors and roof panels remain a separate practical consideration: plan where to store them and compare the installed soft- or hardtop rather than assuming the roof in an advertisement is standard.
Canadian trim comparison and historical pricing
These are 2025 Canadian-dollar reference prices, checked October 28, 2026, not current offers. Each subtotal includes the listed engine, automatic transmission and equipment group but excludes roof/appearance accessories, excise tax, delivery and sales tax. Different sticker dates and equipment groups mean the gaps are not pure trim-only premiums.
| Reference four-door build | Dated subtotal (CAD) | What the extra money buys |
|---|---|---|
| Big Bend 222A, 2.3L automatic — Sept. 24, 2025 | $55,060 | Lower starting point: $53,565 base plus $1,495 automatic. Not a Sasquatch build. |
| Outer Banks 314A, 2.7L automatic, Sasquatch — Jan. 28, 2025 | $75,665 | Comfort-oriented trim with High/Lux, V6 and Sasquatch; $60,640 base + $3,550 group + $2,695 engine + $8,780 package. |
| Badlands 334A, 2.7L automatic, Sasquatch — Jan. 23, 2025 | $79,630 | Badlands hardware plus High/Lux: $66,810 base + $3,550 group + $2,695 engine + $1,495 automatic + $5,080 Sasquatch. |
The January 23 Badlands factory sticker totals $88,220 including its other options, $100 excise tax and $2,195 delivery, before GST/HST. The comparable subtotal is $3,965 above the dated Outer Banks Sasquatch example—not a universal Badlands upgrade charge. Compare matching quotes before deciding whether that difference is worthwhile.
The other references are Ford’s September Big Bend sticker and January Outer Banks Sasquatch sticker. Historical MSRP helps explain the original equipment choices; it does not establish today’s used-vehicle value.
Is Badlands Sasquatch the right trim?
Choose Badlands for equipment you intend to use, not simply because it sits above another model. If the disconnecting stabilizer bar, protective hardware and cabin materials are priorities, it has a clear purpose. If your main interests are the roof-off experience and interior convenience, compare Big Bend or Outer Banks first.
Sasquatch then becomes a second decision: are the larger tires and associated hardware worth their price to you? Include replacement tires, storage clearances and the exact towing requirement in that decision. This is an equipment-based assessment, not a claim that we road-tested ride comfort or proved which Bronco performs best on a trail.
Frequently asked questions
Does Sasquatch include the V6?
No. The engine is a separate choice; the reference Badlands sticker charges for it separately.
Does this Badlands tow 3,500 lb?
The four-door V6 automatic Sasquatch configuration is rated at 3,460 lb when properly equipped. Use the chart for the specific powertrain and axle, not a generic Bronco maximum.
Is the $88,220 example the price of the Bronco in the video?
No. It is an identified Canadian reference build with its own options. The video’s complete build sheet has not been verified.
