2022 Ford Bronco Badlands Advanced

Overview
The 2022 Ford Bronco Badlands Advanced pairs the EcoBoost 2.7L twin-turbo V6 (315 hp, 410 lb-ft) with Ford’s off-road engineering to deliver a capability-focused SUV designed for demanding terrain. Factory configuration emphasizes rugged hardware, selectable drive modes, and a practical, modular interior suited to outdoor use.

Powertrain and drivetrain
- Engine: EcoBoost 2.7L twin-turbo V6 rated at 315 horsepower and 410 lb-ft of torque (factory spec).
- Transmission: 10-speed automatic transmission (the 2.7L is paired with the 10-speed automatic as factory standard).
- Transfer case and 4x4: Two-speed transfer case with electronic 4x4 engagement and multiple selectable drive modes for on-road and off-road operation.
- Differentials: Electronic locking differentials are part of the Badlands specification to maximize traction in low-grip conditions.

Off-road capability and chassis
- Off-road tuned suspension: Badlands is factory-set with a suspension package tuned for off-road use, including monotube dampers designed to control wheel motion over rough terrain.
- Underbody protection: Factory skid plates protect key components such as the transfer case and fuel tank.
- Recovery hardware and approach protection: Heavy-duty towing/recovery hooks and reinforced attachment points are fitted from the factory.
- Trail systems: Trail Control (low-speed cruise control for technical sections) and Trail Turn Assist are included to ease rock crawling and precise low-speed maneuvers.
- G.O.A.T. Modes: Factory selectable drive modes (“Goes Over Any Type of Terrain”) let the driver choose preconfigured settings — examples include Normal, Sport, Eco, Slippery, Sand, Baja and Rock Crawl — to alter traction control, throttle response and shift strategy for varying surfaces.

Exterior and utility
- Modular roof and doors: Removable roof panels and doors are standard Bronco features and retained on the Badlands for an open-air experience; roof and door configurations are designed to be removed and reinstalled without special tools.
- Exterior protection: Rock rails and reinforced body mounts are part of the vehicle’s build to help protect rocker panels and lower bodywork during off-road use.
- Lighting: Projector or LED headlamps and integrated fog lamps (factory lighting specifics vary by equipment level) to support low-visibility driving.
- Spare and wheel setup: Full-size spare and wheels/tires sized for off-road use are part of the Badlands orientation; larger off-road tire packages (for example the Sasquatch package with beadlock-capable wheels and 35-inch tires) are available as factory options.

Interior and comfort
- Durable finishes: The interior uses washable, rugged materials in areas subject to dirt and moisture, supporting outdoor activity and easy cleaning.
- Seating: Supportive front seats with available heating and power adjustments; rear seating designed to fold for additional cargo capacity.
- Climate: Automatic climate control is factory-integrated to maintain comfort during demanding drives.
- Cargo and storage: Multiple modular storage points and tie-down locations are built into the cargo area and interior for gear.

Technology and connectivity
- Infotainment: SYNC infotainment system with touchscreen is factory standard; larger center displays and additional software functionality (navigation, enhanced audio) are available as factory options or as part of an Advanced Technology package.
- Smartphone integration: Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility are included.
- Connectivity: FordPass Connect with available 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, remote vehicle features and connected services are offered from the factory as part of the tech suite.
