If you’re in the market for the raddest version of the Ford Bronco, a two-door with a powerful turbocharged V6, you might want to sit down for this. For 2025, Ford has made a drastic pricing shift, effectively turning this configuration into a luxury item.
The days of grabbing a two-door Bronco with the 2.7-liter turbo V6 for a reasonable price are gone. The only way to get this setup for 2025 is through the new Bronco Stroppe Edition, which starts at a hefty $75,635 before fees. That’s a 61% price increase over last year’s cheapest V6 2-Door Bronco.
Meet the Stroppe Edition
To be fair, the 2025 Bronco Stroppe Edition isn’t just about the engine, it’s a tribute to off-road legend Bill Stroppe, complete with bold Orange Creamsicle graphics, 35-inch tires, Fox internal-bypass dampers, and Ford’s G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Terrain) drive-mode selector. It’s a rugged, Baja-inspired beast that pays homage to the original race-ready Broncos.
But while the Stroppe Edition brings unique styling and performance upgrades, it also brings sticker shock. Just a year ago, you could get a comparably equipped Bronco Heritage Edition V6 with similar off-road capabilities for $52,490—a jaw-dropping $23,145 less than the new Stroppe Edition.
How Much Was the 2024 Two-Door Bronco V6?
The shift in pricing becomes even more striking when looking at last year’s Bronco lineup. Here’s a quick comparison of 2024 vs. 2025 Bronco V6 2-Door pricing:
-
2024 Black Diamond V6 – $46,970
-
2024 Heritage Edition V6 – $52,490
-
2024 Badlands V6 – $53,735
-
2024 Wildtrak 2-Door – $60,225
-
2024 Heritage Limited Edition – $69,685
-
2025 Stroppe Edition – $75,635
In 2024, Ford offered five different ways to get a two-door Bronco with the V6, with prices starting under $47,000. Now, there’s only one option, and it costs over $75,000.
Why the Massive Price Hike?
Ford hasn’t explicitly stated why they made this move, but there are a few likely factors:
-
Market Positioning – Ford may be shifting the two-door V6 Bronco toward a more premium, collectible segment, similar to how Jeep positions its high-end Wrangler variants.
-
Demand vs. Supply – The two-door model makes up a small fraction of Bronco sales, and Ford could be using exclusivity to maximize profits.
-
Trim Simplification – By eliminating lower trims with the V6, Ford reduces manufacturing complexity, potentially improving margins.
Is a 2024 Bronco a Better Buy?
For those who don’t want to pay 75 grand for their Bronco, the best move might be snatching up a leftover 2024 model while they’re still on dealer lots. Not only are they significantly cheaper, but they also come in more trim and color options.
A standout deal? The 2024 Heritage Edition, which comes standard with 35-inch tires, retro styling, white wheels, and plaid upholstery for $52,490. It’s a head-turning truck that delivers much of what the Stroppe Edition offers—at a fraction of the price.
The Future of the Two-Door Bronco V6
The two-door Bronco V6 has long been considered the purist’s choice, capturing the spirit of the original model. However, with Ford shifting it into premium territory, its future seems uncertain.
If sales of the Stroppe Edition don’t take off, Ford could reconsider bringing back more affordable V6 two-door options in 2026. But for now, if you want this setup without breaking the bank, your best bet is finding a 2024 model before they disappear.
