2025 Ford Bronco Sport Sasquatch

When Ford dropped the all-new Bronco in 2020, they also introduced the Bronco Sport. The Bronco Sport offered something more affordable, with solid off-road capability and a smoother ride than many modern SUVs. The issue was that the Bronco Sport launched before the full-size sixth-gen Bronco, which confused some buyers who expected it to be more similar to its big brother.

To help clear things up—and boost the Bronco Sport’s off-road cred—Ford has now introduced the 2025 Bronco Sport Sasquatch package.

This all-new Sasquatch package brings some of the capabilities previously reserved for the full-size Bronco. You get larger 29-inch tires, a standard rear locker, and new drive modes—including Rally Mode, which channels high-speed desert performance typically seen in models like the Raptor.

Ford invited us out to Borrego Springs, California, to put the new Sasquatch package to the test in extreme conditions. We drove through silt beds, scenic canyons, and every journalist’s favorite—rock crawling.

To start the trip, we got behind the wheel of a non-Sasquatch Bronco Sport, exploring the canyons of Borrego Springs. I was genuinely surprised by how capable it was. It handled some light suspension flexing with ease and offered a comfortable ride through the terrain.

After lunch (thanks, Ford!), we finally got to experience the Sasquatch-equipped Bronco Sport. Kelly was particularly excited to try out Rally Mode, and she had a blast sliding through the desert sand. Later in the day, we tested Rock Crawl Mode—making full use of the rear locker.

Ford chose Kelly to showcase the Bronco Sport Sasquatch as it climbed a steep rock face. She scaled the cliff with ease and noted afterward how little effort it took with the rear locker engaged. She was thoroughly impressed.

Overall, the Bronco Sport tends to get a bad rap from hardcore off-roaders. But from this journalist’s perspective, once you experience its true capability—especially with the Sasquatch package—it proves to be a real bargain. I’d compare it favorably to the Subaru Forester and even a base-trim Toyota 4Runner. Its compact size is ideal for tight trails, the 2.0L engine delivers solid performance, and it has plenty of cargo space for weekend adventures.

Be sure to check out our video on ATN OffRoad, where we walk around a fully built Bronco Sport Sasquatch. And definitely stop by your local dealer in the coming months to check one out for yourself.
