The Real Off-Road Icon Returns 

By Sameer Uchi – MotoroxTV

The 2025 Ford Bronco Big Bend is more than just an SUV — it’s a modern revival of an American icon. In Bahrain and across the GCC, this rugged machine has quickly become one of the most popular off-road choices, striking a balance between adventure, daily usability, and unmistakable personality. In this in-depth MotoroxTV review, we take the Bronco across city roads, sand, gravel, and trails to see whether it truly lives up to the hype.

This article highlights everything you need to know: performance, G.O.A.T. Modes, tech, comfort, build quality, unknown historical facts, hidden features, and why this SUV stands out from its competition.

A Quick History: The Legend Reborn

Long before the 2025 model, the Bronco name first appeared in 1966 as a challenger to the Jeep CJ. What many people don’t know is that the team behind the modern Bronco actually 3D-scanned a 1976 model to capture its original lines and DNA.

This is why the body still looks delightfully boxy, muscular, and retro-styled — a design that feels both classic and futuristic at the same time.

Engine & Performance: The EcoBoost That Surprises

The 2025 Big Bend trim is powered by a 2.3L EcoBoost I-4, producing:

• 294 horsepower
• 315 Nm of torque
• 10-speed automatic transmission
• Selectable 4×4 with locking axle

On road, the Bronco feels refined for a rugged SUV. The independent front suspension makes the ride noticeably smoother than many old-school body-on-frame competitors. Whether cruising on the highway or navigating Bahrain’s tight city turns, the Bronco feels planted and easy to maneuver.

Off-road, it transforms into a completely different beast.

G.O.A.T. Modes: Goes Over Any Terrain

The Bronco features a terrain management system called G.O.A.T. Modes — Goes Over Any Terrain.
Not goats. Not animals. Just pure capability.

Available modes include:

• Normal
• Eco
• Sport
• Slippery
• Mud/Ruts
• Sand

Turn the dial, and the system adjusts traction, throttle response, gear shifts, and 4×4 engagement so that even a beginner can drive confidently off-road. Whether you’re hitting dunes, rocky paths, or wet terrain, the Bronco makes the process simple and almost addictive.

Interior & Comfort: Rugged but Practical

Inside, the Bronco is designed to be both functional and surprisingly premium:

• Marine-grade vinyl seats (easy to clean)
• Dual-zone climate control
• 12-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen
• 12-inch digital instrument cluster
• Rubberized flooring with drain plugs
• Removable doors and roof
• Storage bags for roof panels
• Heated front seats

The layout feels modern and rugged at the same time — built for adventure, but comfortable for daily use.

The MOLLE Panel Secret (Most Owners Don’t Know This)

Behind the front seats, you’ll find MOLLE panels — a military-inspired storage system. They’re perfect for hanging:

• Flashlights
• GoPros
• First-aid kits
• Water bottles
• Snacks
• Communication devices
• Recovery gear (shovels, rope, fire extinguishers)
• Small tools
• And much more

Think of them like having a mini organizer from IKEA inside your adventure SUV — simple, clever, and extremely practical.

A Hidden Surprise: The Built-In Bottle Opener

One of the coolest Easter eggs in the Bronco is a hidden bottle opener built into the rear tailgate. Most owners don’t know it exists. It’s perfect for beach days, barbeques, camping, or just having a refreshing drink after a drive. It’s a small touch, but it perfectly reflects the vehicle’s adventure-ready personality.

Tech & Safety: Modern Confidence

The Bronco comes equipped with Ford Co-Pilot360 technology, including:

• BLIS blind spot monitoring
• Cross-traffic alert
• Rearview camera
• Lane-keeping system
• Auto high-beam headlamps
• Pre-collision assist

Combined with the high driving position and excellent visibility, the Bronco feels safe and confidence-inspiring both on and off the road.

Exterior: Retro Toughness Meets Modern Design

With its boxy body, wide stance, and signature grille with bold “BRONCO” lettering, the SUV stands out anywhere. Some notable exterior highlights include:

• LED headlamps
• Active grille shutters
• Removable hard top
• Roof rails
• 17-inch carbonized grey alloy wheels
• All-terrain tires
• Front and rear tow hooks

It’s built to look tough — and it backs it up with real capability.

Daily Driving: Surprisingly Comfortable

Despite being a hardcore off-road machine, the Ford Bronco remains easy to drive every day. The suspension tuning and steering feel well-balanced, making city driving smooth and stress-free. And thanks to rubberized flooring and washable surfaces, it’s extremely practical for families, beachgoers, and weekend adventurers.

Why the 2025 Ford Bronco Stands Out in the GCC

Many SUVs claim to be off-road capable — but the Bronco offers something rare:

• True heritage
• Real capability
• Modern comfort
• Rugged design
• Easy-to-use tech
• A fun personality

In Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, and the wider GCC, where outdoor trips and desert drives are a lifestyle, the Bronco hits the sweet spot between lifestyle and performance.
