The two-door Ford Bronco V6 got way more expensive for 2025

Want to buy a two-door Ford Bronco with the 330-horsepower turbo V6? Of course you do. It's the raddest Bronco configuration there is — the Mustang GT of 4x4s. It looks way better than the four-door while being a whopping 16 inches easier to park, and it launches to 60 mph in about 6 seconds with a chest-thumping six-cylinder soundtrack that puts the base turbo four to shame.

Unless you need to put a child safety seat in the back, it's quite clearly the Bronco to have.

Trouble is, it's just a wee bit dearer for 2025, a fact that largely seems to have escaped public notice. Until this year, you could easily buy a two-door Bronco V6 for about the same price as a four-door, in various trim levels. Like a number of things in America, this is no longer the case.

How much does the 2025 Bronco V6 2-Door cost?

I'll cut to the chase: you're not getting into a 2025 Bronco V6 2-Door for less than $75,635 plus fees. Why? Because that's the base MSRP of the new Stroppe Edition, which is now the only way to pair the 2.7-liter turbo V6 with the two-door body.

To be clear, this is no knock on the Stroppe Edition, which seems to be a fantastic machine. The Orange Creamsicle graphics may not be to everyone's taste, but Ford's homage to Baja Bronco racer Bill Stroppe comes standard with a bunch of neat stuff, including 35-inch tires, Fox internal-bypass dampers and the G.O.A.T. drive-mode selector (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain, in case you weren't aware, and yes, that would technically be G.O.A.T.T.). If you've got the means and dig the colors, why not? There are far less interesting vehicles in the $75k price bracket.

But Ford hasn't taken down the 2024 Bronco configurator yet, and the options there are revealing. Turns out the Stroppe Edition is 61 percent more expensive than the cheapest 2024 Bronco V6 2-Door.

That's a price hike worth scrutinizing.

How much was a two-door 2024 Bronco V6?

Was, or is? As of this writing, there appear to be plenty of new 2024 Broncos on dealer lots, so if you really do want an unsullied V6 2-Door, now's the time to pounce.

But let's look at the base prices for last year's crop, and I'll throw in the 2025 Stroppe Edition for comparison. Notably, the Wildtrak and Heritage Limited Edition came standard with the 2.7-liter V6, just like the Stroppe Edition this year, hence its omission from their model names. For the other models, the V6 was optional, and the cost of adding it is included in the price.

What jumps out? Well, there were all sorts of ways to buy a two-door 2024 Bronco V6 — five, to be exact — starting with the Black Diamond, which was fitted with 32-inch all-terrain tires as standard. Need more inches? The Heritage Edition came standard with all-terrain 35s, matching the Stroppe Edition's rubber while costing a jaw-slackening $23,145 less. The very slightly pricier Badlands dropped to 33s but boasted the G.O.A.T. drive-mode selector, just like the Stroppe Edition, plus a unique suspension with a disconnecting front stabilizer bar.

Point being, you could technically have an off-road-ready 2024 Bronco V6 2-Door for less than $47k before fees, and you could get an indisputably badass one for less than $55k.

In the span of a year, then, the two-door Bronco V6 has gone from offering a lot of appealing variants for around $50k to offering a single variant for $75k. That's possibly the biggest Bronco news for 2025, even though no one seems to be talking about it.

MotorDonkey Says

Given the above, a leftover 2024 Bronco V6 2-Door looks like a pretty smart buy right now. Personally, I dig the Heritage Edition with its standard 35s and white wheels (and bonus plaid upholstery!).

Right? That's a fresh-looking truck right there, and there are a bunch of other colors if you don't want the red. Grab one now and people will be fighting to take it off your hands a few years down the road.

So that's the silver lining, but it's still a bummer that Ford decided to make the two-door Bronco V6 a luxury item going forward. It's arguably the Bronco that's truest to the original formula, yet its future appears to be in serious doubt. ⛐ md
