Get Ready to Go Further in a Ford Bronco Sport Sasquatch

A blue 2025 Ford Bronco Sport Badlands Sasquatch off-roading through a sandy area.

It's only been a few years since Ford brought the Bronco back onto the road and trail and, along with it, introduced the smaller Bronco Sport model. In that time, this sporty and reliable compact SUV has earned a massive number of fans and turned heads everywhere it goes with the perfect combination of sleek style and rugged capability. If you're interested in a Ford Bronco Sport for sale in Rhinebeck that offers unbeatable off-road capability, then you're about to find precisely what you're looking for. With the 2025 Bronco Sport, Ford is delivering a number of updates, including two new stunning displays inside, a revised exterior that's easier to customize, and more. Eclipsing many of these other remarkable features (at least for off-road fans), however, is the fact that Ford's incredible off-road focused Sasquatch Package will now be available on select Bronco Sport models for the first time ever.

What's the Sasquatch Package All About?

That's a great question, and knowing more about it helps to explain why so many of us are excited to see it as an option for the Bronco Sport. After several decades away, Ford finally brought the Bronco back for the 2021 model year as an all-new, midsize off-road SUV. Alongside it, we got the new Bronco Sport, a smaller subcompact model that has many comparable off-road features to elevate its performance and capabilities. You'll find the Goes Over Any Type of Terrain (GOAT) Modes on both models, for example, along with the High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension system. These are key elements in making these two SUVs such fantastic options for going off-road.

And yet, certain features have only been offered on the larger Bronco and not the Bronco Sport—the Sasquatch Package being one of the most notable among them. This package is designed to take the already impressive off-road capabilities of the Bronco to the next level. It's only offered on select models that are most attractive to those folks looking to leave Rhinebeck streets behind and head out onto challenging trails that most other SUVs can't hope to approach. And for the last four model years, only Bronco Sasquatch models have been available, but for the 2025 model year, that's going to change.

What Does the Sasquatch Package Include?

Essentially, the Sasquatch Package takes the impressive off-road features you can find on many Bronco Sport models and elevates them to another level. For example, all Bronco Sport Sasquatch models come with an incredible twin-clutch rear-drive unit and locking rear differential as part of their four-wheel drive system. Up until now, this was only offered on Bronco Sport Badlands models, but now Outer Banks models with the Sasquatch Package will also deliver this enhanced traction out on the trail. This is one of those things that a description doesn't do justice to; you need to feel the difference that it provides for yourself to fully appreciate how transformative it is.

All Sasquatch models also have larger tires than you'll find on other Bronco Sport trims and versions out there. The Sasquatch Package includes incredible 29-inch Goodyear Territory All-Terrain tires, the largest for a vehicle in this class. These tires are similar to ones found on Bronco Sasquatch vehicles, but they were developed specifically for the Bronco Sport Sasquatch to provide remarkable traction in all kinds of conditions. They have an open-tread design along with reinforced sidewalls to ensure you remain in control, even in rough and sloppy terrain far from Rhinebeck streets. Plus, Sasquatch includes class-exclusive Bilstein rear shocks with position-sensitive damping along with new front and rear springs for remarkable stability and enhanced underbody protection to create the ultimate trail-ready machine.

We mentioned the GOAT Modes earlier, which are part of a terrain management system designed to let you easily adjust traction and control in different kinds of conditions. Badlands and Badlands Sasquatch models now come with an exclusive Rally Mode to provide better performance for high-speed driving while off-road, plus all models come with a new Off-Road Mode for enhanced traction and control in other conditions. We love seeing Ford make these kinds of additions that aren't exclusive to the Sasquatch models since it gives more drivers access to incredible capability in any situation.

On top of this, the Sasquatch Package brings more off-road tech features to the Bronco Sport such as Trail One-Pedal Drive that lets you use a single pedal for acceleration and braking, making it easier to focus on maneuvering. This joins Trail Control—think of it like cruise control for going off-road—to create a vehicle that is incredibly capable and that works with you while you're on the trail. All of this comes together to create an amazing new standard for the best a subcompact off-road SUV can be.

Which Models Have the Sasquatch Available?

Much like with the Bronco, the Sasquatch Package is only available for select Bronco Sport models, so keep that in mind if you're interested in it and want to experience it for yourself. It's being offered for 1.5L Bronco Sport Outer Banks models and 2.0L Badlands models, giving you two distinct options to take off-road power and performance to the next level. Other trims won't have this package available since its design works best for those models already intended as off-road beasts, for those drivers looking to take things further. This also keeps things simple for folks not interested in high-performance off-road options since they don't have to navigate through more packages and available features when trying to put together the perfect SUV.

What About Other 2025 Bronco Sport Updates?

As much as we love the addition of the Sasquatch Package for the Bronco Sport, that's not the only big update for the 2025 model. Ford is taking things further inside and out, with new looks on the exterior that include enhanced features for customization. A new modular design with updated front and rear bumpers and front fenders makes it easier to add accessories and make the 2025 Bronco Sport exactly what you want. When combined with the Sasquatch Package, this takes off-road performance to a new level while giving you more options for adding lights, protective bars, and more features to your trail-ready vehicle.

The Bronco Sport is also getting a massive new 13.2-inch Infotainment system running on updated SYNC 4 software. This new system includes support for added functionality like over-the-air updates for the Bronco Sport, plus it makes it easy to take full advantage of everything the Sasquatch Package includes. You'll also find a stunning 12.3-inch digital instrument display for the driver, which includes unique animations when changing GOAT Modes and utilizing other aspects of the Bronco Sport. All of this comes together to create an exciting SUV that's perfect for any outdoor adventure, as well as for taking care of business around town when you're not out on the trail.

The Perfect Off-Road Experience for Rhinebeck Drivers

As you can see, the 2025 Bronco Sport with its newly available Sasquatch Package is something special: a powerful and sophisticated off-road beast that's ready to tear up any trail. Even if you're not interested in one of the trim levels that can go full Sasquatch, the new Black Diamond Off-Road Package is an interesting option that adds four recovery points and additional steel underbody protection to elevate off-road capabilities on other trim levels. Ford has made this Bronco Sport better than ever, with features inside and out that are designed to meet a wide range of needs. Of course, if you are interested in tearing up the most demanding trails out there, then the Bronco Sport has never been a better choice. The Sasquatch Package takes things to a new level, creating a compact SUV that's perfect for the most adventurous lifestyle.
