Ford and Filson just announced the 2027 Bronco Filson, and here's the number that actually matters: it runs a retuned version of the Raptor's twin-turbo V6, on the standard-width Bronco body, with Sasquatch standard. That combination hasn't existed in this lineup before. Here's everything confirmed so far.

What Is the 2027 Bronco Filson?
Ford and Filson announced the 2027 Bronco Filson on June 3, 2026, the production result of a relationship that started back in 2020 with a wildland firefighter concept vehicle. Here's what separates this from the usual special-edition announcement: it's a permanent trim in the Bronco lineup, not a limited build with a serial number ceiling. It slots in above the Badlands and below the Raptor, assembled at Ford's Michigan Assembly Plant alongside every sixth-gen Bronco built since 2021.
The Eddie Bauer Connection: Ford Has Run This Play Before
Ford launched the Eddie Bauer Bronco in 1985, and the badge did well enough that it spread to the Explorer, the Expedition, and the F-150 over a 26-year run before ending in 2010. The Filson picks up that same outfitter-collab lineage, but with one real difference worth knowing: the Eddie Bauer trucks were trim packages on capable platforms. The Filson starts from the most capable hardware in the regular Bronco lineup first, then adds the materials on top. Capability first, waxed canvas second.
2027 Bronco Filson Specs and Engine
The Filson runs the twin-turbocharged 3.0L EcoBoost V6 pulled from the Raptor, where it makes 418 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque. Ford says the Filson gets its own application-specific tune, and here's the part worth sitting with: final output numbers haven't been published yet. Before the Filson existed, the only way to get this engine in a Bronco was to buy a Raptor. That alone changes the math for a lot of buyers who wanted Raptor power without Raptor width.
The rest of the chassis hardware reads like a wish list: Fox internal-bypass shocks, front and rear electronic locking differentials, the full seven-mode G.O.A.T. terrain management system, Trail Turn Assist, and Trail 1-Pedal Drive. A surround-view camera system comes standard, and the cabin is acoustically treated to what Ford is calling the quietest interior ever offered in a Bronco.
What Comes Standard on the 2027 Bronco Filson
Every Filson ships with the Sasquatch Package built in: 35-inch tires, front and rear lockers, high-clearance suspension, and high-clearance fender flares. Here's the upgrade most people miss on a first read: the Filson swaps the standard Sasquatch Bilstein shocks for Fox internal-bypass dampers, hardware no regular Sasquatch truck gets from the factory. Inside, you get a B&O sound system, heated and ventilated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a digital rearview mirror, and Filson's fingerprints on the grille, wheels, interior trim, and a set of included Filson storage bags.
One fitment note worth flagging early: Sasquatch changes wheel, tire, and clearance specs in ways that ripple into aftermarket parts. Whatever applies to a Sasquatch-equipped 4-door Bronco applies to the Filson from day one.
Filson vs Raptor, Quickly
The Raptor is the speed truck: wider track, beefed-up suspension geometry, 37-inch tires, and the full-power version of the 3.0L V6, starting just over $81,000. The Filson takes that same engine in a retuned state, keeps the standard Bronco track width, runs 35s instead of 37s, and spends the difference on cabin refinement. Targeted starting price sits in the mid-$70,000s, and the track width gap matters for more than just looks, it determines which trail lines you can run and which aftermarket parts actually fit. We break the full comparison down in our complete Filson vs Raptor guide.
2027 Bronco Filson Price
Ford has targeted a starting price in the mid-$70,000s. Final pricing gets confirmed when order banks open in fall 2026, not before. For context: the 2026 Bronco Raptor starts just over $81,000, and a Badlands optioned with Sasquatch, Lux, and a hard top lands in the mid-$60,000s. The Filson sits right in the gap between them, which is exactly where Ford built it to sit.
Order Banks and Release Date
Ford is releasing a 2027 Bronco Filson First Edition for North America in Iron Sands Copper Metallic with a serialized console badge. Order banks open in fall 2026, with vehicles arriving in showrooms in early 2027. Ford is also running the Bronco Filson Tour starting July 2026. Here's the part that costs people their First Edition: dealers build allocation lists early, and the buyers calling in October are usually calling too late. Get your name on a list before order banks actually open.
What the 2027 Bronco Filson Means for the Bronco Aftermarket
Of every new Bronco trim announced in years, this is the easiest one to buy parts for on day one. Because Sasquatch comes standard, every aftermarket part that calls out Sasquatch compatibility applies to every Filson without exception. Because it rides on the standard 4-door body, parts built for the 4-door Bronco bolt up exactly the way they do on a Badlands or Wildtrak. That means rock sliders and side steps, steel bumpers, and skid plates all apply the day the truck hits your driveway, no waiting on trim-specific fitment charts.

2027 Bronco Filson FAQ
Is the 2027 Bronco Filson faster than the Bronco Raptor?
Unconfirmed either way. It uses the Raptor's 3.0L twin-turbo V6 with a different tune, but Ford hasn't published final Filson output numbers. The Raptor keeps its full-power tune along with the wider track and 37-inch tires.
Does the Bronco Filson come in a 2-door?
No. The 2027 Bronco Filson is 4-door only.
Does the Sasquatch Package come standard on the Bronco Filson?
Yes. Every Filson includes Sasquatch from the factory: 35-inch tires, front and rear lockers, high-clearance suspension, and Fox internal-bypass shocks.
When can I order a 2027 Bronco Filson?
Order banks open in fall 2026, with trucks reaching showrooms in early 2027. For a First Edition specifically, get on a dealer allocation list before order banks open.
Will 4-door Bronco aftermarket parts fit the Filson?
Yes. The Filson uses the standard 4-door Bronco body with Sasquatch, so any part listed as compatible with the 4-door Ford Bronco with Sasquatch fits.
