Overview
The 2027 Bronco colors lead Ford’s latest model year update, and Neptune Blue replaces Velocity Blue. Ford also gave the Filson trim two series-specific colors. Premium vinyl and a heated steering wheel reach more trims too. Ford detailed the changes in its From the Road release on October 12.
The release does not list prices. However, Bowen Scarff Ford posted a 2027 Bronco price breakdown from Ford’s October 13 order guide and October 10 price list. This article uses those figures and labels them dealer-listed. Confirm each number with your own dealer before you order.
I have rented Bronco Badlands trims from Budget at John Wayne Airport for Big Bear camping trips, so I checked the Badlands changes first. Ford also announced a new engine. Our 2027 Bronco V6 breakdown covers the 380 horsepower option.
Premium and marine vinyl arrive on more 2027 trims, and a muddy day still leaves grime in the seams and stitching. A vinyl and leather cleaner lifts the film from the surface, a soft interior detailing brush set reaches the creases, and microfiber towels finish the wipe-down without scratching. These universal picks are not vehicle specific, so test any cleaner on a hidden spot first.

|---|---|---|
| Every series except Filson | New blue replaces Velocity Blue | $495 paint |
| Filson | Field Green and Iron Sands Metallic | Field Green $995; Iron Sands Copper Metallic $995 (First Edition) |

New 2027 Bronco Colors by Trim
Ford says Neptune Blue joins the palette and replaces Velocity Blue. A footnote in the release marks the paint as available at additional cost. The dealer listing puts the paint at $495 on every series except Filson.
Filson gets its own pair. Field Green and Iron Sands Metallic are series-specific, so you will not find them on other trims. The dealer prices Field Green Metallic at $995. It calls the second color Iron Sands Copper Metallic, also $995, and lists it for the Filson First Edition only. Ford uses the shorter name, so check the exact wording at order time.
The dealer also reports Velocity Blue and Orange Fury as discontinued. Shadow Black and Oxford White carry no charge, while Avalanche Gray, Desert Sand, Marsh Gray and Ruby Red list at $495 each. The dealer also says Avalanche Gray no longer appears on Outer Banks.
2027 Bronco Seats: Vinyl Replaces Leather
Ford says Outer Banks buyers who add the Lux Package now get premium vinyl instead of the previously standard leather. The dealer lists Lux at $3,825 on Outer Banks. It also describes the Mid Package as cloth with manual seats and Lux as premium vinyl with power seats.
Badlands gets a different upgrade. Ford upgrades its Marine Grade Vinyl seating option across the series, including the first power-adjustable marine vinyl seat on Badlands. The dealer lists a Dark Khaki marine vinyl option at $595 and says Badlands no longer offers leather seats.
On Big Bend, the dealer lists marine vinyl seats as part of the Black Diamond package at $4,495. Camping trips are where I would want a seat you wipe clean, so vinyl makes more sense to me than leather.
Heated Wheel Moves Down to Big Bend
Ford adds the available heated steering wheel to Big Bend with the Mid Package. Per Ford, only higher series had the feature before.
The dealer lists the Mid Package at $1,675 on Big Bend and Badlands. Per the listing, the package also includes heated seats, dual-zone climate control and BLIS blind spot monitoring. It adds lane keeping, rear sensors, Pro Power Onboard at 400 watts and connected navigation.
The dealer shows Big Bend at $41,995. Add the Mid Package and the total reaches $43,670 before any other options. The dealer says prices exclude destination and delivery, tax, title, license and a $200 doc fee.
For me, the Mid Package on Big Bend is the value pick of this update at the dealer’s prices. The heated wheel, heated seats and driver aids arrive in one $1,675 step.
Cold mornings reward a little preparation, and the heated wheel only helps once you are inside. An ice scraper with brush clears the windshield, a portable jump starter revives a weak battery, and a windshield cover keeps frost off the glass overnight. These universal basics are not vehicle specific, so confirm the size and engine range on each listing before you buy.

Smaller Changes Owners Should Check
Bronco Nation reports a 5G modem on all trims. It also reports B&O audio dropping from 12 to 10 speakers on Outer Banks and four-door Badlands with Lux. Raptor and Filson keep 12 speakers.
The dealer lists LED signature lighting as a $595 option on Outer Banks and Badlands. Bronco Nation also reports Ford dropped the Stroppe Edition, the 60th Anniversary Package and the Free Wheeling Package.
The dealer lists 2027 fuel economy as TBD. Treat any fuel economy figure you see before Ford publishes it as unconfirmed.
What This Means for You
If you want the new blue, order any series except Filson. The paint adds $495 on the dealer list, on top of the trim price. On a Big Bend with the Mid Package, the new blue brings the dealer-listed total to $44,165 before other options. Filson buyers instead pick Field Green at $995, or Iron Sands Copper Metallic at $995 on the First Edition, per the dealer.
If you own a 2026 Bronco, none of the color, seat or heated wheel changes adds capability. They change finish and comfort, so they are a weak reason to trade.
If you shop Badlands, ask your dealer how the power vinyl seat and the Dark Khaki option combine, since the dealer says Badlands no longer offers leather. Outer Banks shoppers choose between Mid with cloth seats and Lux with premium vinyl.
RTR shoppers should compare these dealer prices with our Bronco RTR price breakdown. Our guide to new Bronco models covers the other trims Ford has coming.
Final Thoughts
The 2027 Bronco colors and seating changes alter finish and comfort, not capability. Ford’s release does not list prices, so confirm each dealer-listed figure with your dealer. Then order the trim whose seat and color suit your use.
