2025 Ford Bronco Stroppe Special Edition: Retro Desert Runner
Earlier in October, Ford unveiled a retro-styled Free Wheeling version of the 2025 Bronco. Now the company has dipped into the history books again and rolled out another throwback special-appearance variant: the 2025 Bronco Stroppe Special Edition. Most die-hard fans of the original first-generation Bronco will be familiar with the name and legacy of Bill Stroppe, a Southern California-based racer and fabricator who had a long history of building Ford competition vehicles.

Stroppe’s Baja Broncos of the late 1960s and early ‘70s were among his shop’s most famous creations, sporting a distinctive three-tone paint scheme of Astra Blue over Calypso Coral with a swath of Wimbledon White in between. The 2025 Stroppe Special Edition replicates this livery using current Ford colors — Atlas Blue, Oxford White and Code Orange — and also includes a matte-black hood and tailgate, along with other trim touches like a Frozen White grille with Code Orange “Bronco” lettering, Code Orange tow hooks and Stroppe Edition logos. The interior gets a Stroppe Edition badge along with a white dashboard mid-panel and various Code Orange accents.
The Stroppe Special Edition is offered only as a two-door that’s a mechanical near-twin to the upper Wildtrak trim (Ford says the Stroppe Special Edition takes the place of the Wildtrak in the Bronco lineup). Standard features include the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6 engine, Fox internal-bypass dampers tuned for high-speed desert running, and a Baja G.O.A.T. drive mode that improves performance over sand and other loose terrain. Among the other standard off-road-focused gear are 35-inch Goodyear Territory RT tires on black-finished 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, a stabilizer-bar disconnect and High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension 3.0. Like its Free Wheeling sibling, the Bronco Stroppe Special Edition is set to arrive in January 2025.
