A Bronco's trim (Big Bend, Badlands, Wildtrak) and a Bronco's package (Mid, Lux, Sasquatch) are two separate things, and Ford's own configurator makes that confusing fast. Multiple trims can carry the same package, and the same trim can be built with different packages depending on what a buyer picks. Here's what's actually in each package, what it costs to add, and which trims it shows up on.
In This Guide
What's Standard on Every Bronco
Every Bronco, regardless of trim or package, ships with LED headlights, black door handles and mirror caps, black fender flares, fender tie-down hooks, manual air conditioning, push-button start, and Ford's base HOSS (High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension) system. Everything covered below builds on top of this baseline.
Mid Package
The Mid Package adds a set of everyday comfort and tech features: Intelligent Access with lock/unlock (which also locks and unlocks the swing gate), connected navigation with a 1-year subscription, dual-zone climate control, front row heated seats, a power outlet, rear parking sensors, Ford Co-Pilot 360 driver assistance, BLIS blind-spot monitoring with cross-traffic alert, and an 8-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Remote start through the FordPass app works on every automatic-transmission Bronco regardless of package, including a base-package truck, since it runs through the FordPass Connect modem rather than being gated behind Mid; a key fob button for remote start is the part tied more specifically to trim and package.
Pricing runs around $1,645 to $1,675 as an upgrade on Big Bend, Black Diamond, and Badlands. It comes standard, at no added cost, on Outer Banks, Heritage Edition, Everglades, and Wildtrak.
High / Lux Package
Ford originally split this into separate High and Lux tiers on early model years, then consolidated it into one combined package on most current trims. Either way, it builds directly on top of Mid Package content rather than replacing it. Added features include a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, a Bang & Olufsen sound system with 10 to 12 speakers and a subwoofer, Evasive Steering Assist, SYNC 4 with enhanced voice recognition, front parking sensors, LED approach lamps and a spotlight built into the side mirrors, a 12-inch touchscreen, a wireless charging pad, and additional sound deadening. Unlike some other Ford SUVs, no Bronco trim or package includes a factory sunroof or moonroof, since the removable hard top and soft top are Ford's answer to open-air driving instead.
Pricing varies significantly by trim: roughly $2,285 to $2,825 on Outer Banks and Big Bend, and up to $4,500 to $4,575 on Badlands. The gap reflects how much of this content Badlands doesn't already carry standard compared to the other trims.
Sasquatch Package
This is the package most people mean when they talk about a factory-built off-road Bronco. Sasquatch includes 35-inch LT315/70R17 mud-terrain tires, 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, electronic-locking front and rear Dana axles, a 4.7:1 final drive ratio, a high-clearance suspension with position-sensitive Bilstein shocks and a track nearly 2 inches wider than stock, and wider fender flares to cover the larger tires.
Combined, these bring ground clearance up to 11.6 inches and, on manual-transmission models, push the crawl ratio to 94.75:1. The upgrade runs roughly $5,000 to $6,500 depending on trim and model year. It comes standard on Wildtrak, Everglades, Heritage Limited Edition, and Raptor, and is available as an option on Base, Big Bend, Black Diamond, Outer Banks, and Badlands.
HOSS 3.0 Package
HOSS 3.0 is a separate, more specialized suspension upgrade available specifically on the Wildtrak trim, built around a prerunner-style setup rather than a rock-crawling one. It centers on 5-zone, rate-sensitive FOX 2.5-inch internal-bypass shocks with remote reservoirs, tuned to handle repeated high-speed impacts, like whoops in the desert, without needing manual adjustment between hits.
The package also includes a severe-duty steering rack borrowed from the Raptor, rated for 40% more maximum load than the standard rack, inner and outer tie rods rated 32% stronger, a rear stabilizer bar, a front skid plate, front tow hooks, steel bash plates, and a powder-coated front steel bumper with integrated fog lights. On non-Sasquatch Wildtraks, it adds roughly 2 inches of lift, improving front approach angle to 44.3 degrees from a stock 35.5 degrees, and rear departure angle to 37 degrees from a stock 29.7 degrees. Pricing has run around $2,500 to $2,965 depending on model year.
Smaller Cosmetic and Prep Packages
Beyond the core Mid, Lux, and Sasquatch lineup, several narrower packages exist tied to specific trims:
Black Appearance Package, available on Big Bend, Outer Banks, and Badlands, adds black molded-in-color trim, a blacked-out grille, and, on Big Bend and Outer Banks specifically, black-painted 17-inch wheels.
Free Wheeling Package adds painted door handles, a silver-painted grille with red accent lettering, Free Wheeling graphics, and 17-inch high-gloss black steel wheels.
Raptor Code Orange and Raptor Black Appearance packages are Raptor-exclusive cosmetic options built around unique wheel finishes, fender graphics, and trim-specific accent colors.
Trailer Tow Prep Package is available on every trim except Raptor, which already includes upgraded towing hardware as standard equipment.
A separate Sasquatch Graphics Package can be added once Sasquatch itself is equipped; it's a cosmetic option layered on top rather than a functional one.
Which Trims Get Which Packages
Package availability by trim shifts somewhat from year to year, so it's worth confirming the current lineup on Ford's build and price tool before ordering. As a general pattern that's held across recent model years: Big Bend, Black Diamond, and Badlands treat Mid and Lux as paid upgrades, while Outer Banks, Heritage Edition, Everglades, and Wildtrak carry Mid standard. Sasquatch is standard on Wildtrak, Everglades, Heritage Limited Edition, and Raptor, and optional everywhere else in the lineup except Raptor, which builds in an even more capable version of the same concept from the factory.
FAQ
What's the difference between a Bronco trim and a Bronco package?
A trim (Big Bend, Badlands, Wildtrak) is the base model you choose. A package (Mid, Lux, Sasquatch) is a bundle of features added on top, and the same package can be available across several different trims.
What does the Sasquatch package actually include?
35-inch mud-terrain tires, 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, electronic-locking front and rear axles, a 4.7:1 final drive ratio, a wider high-clearance suspension, and wider fender flares to match the larger tires.
Is HOSS 3.0 the same as the Sasquatch package?
No. Sasquatch is built around off-road crawling capability with bigger tires and locking axles. HOSS 3.0 is a separate, Wildtrak-specific suspension upgrade built for high-speed desert running, centered on FOX internal-bypass shocks rather than tire size or axle locking.
Which trims come with Sasquatch standard?
Wildtrak, Everglades, Heritage Limited Edition, and Raptor. It's available as a paid option on Base, Big Bend, Black Diamond, Outer Banks, and Badlands.
How much does the Sasquatch package cost?
Roughly $5,000 to $6,500 depending on trim and model year, when added as an option on a trim that doesn't already include it standard.
