Ford Releases the Bronco's Coastal Package Just in Time for Summer
Ford's new Coastal Package pays respect to the Bronco's heritage The Ford Bronco has received yet another styling package that calls back to the model's earlier days. The new Coastal Package is available for its 4-door Base, Big Bend, Black Diamond, and Outer Banks trims, as well as the 2-door Bronco Base and Badlands trims. This performance upgrade kit doesn't touch the Bronco's powertrain. Instead, it centers around a two-inch lift, Bilstein shocks, and vintage-inspired styling. The styling cues include silver 17-inch wheels, a matching grille and fender flares, a Bimini top featuring a silver Bronco horse, and body graphics with a pastel gradient stripe on the shoulder line that nods to first—and second-generation Bronco models of the 1960s and 1970s. The Coastal Package, which is compatible with 2.3L and 2.7L engines, also includes a pro cal tool for speedometer accuracy with larger tires. Drivers can pair the Coastal Package with auto or manual transmissions, but the upgrade isn't compatible with the Sasquatch Package. While it may be an ideal fit for summer drives, some might take issue with its price tag. Beauty doesn't come cheap Owners of a 4-door Bronco Base, Big Bend, Big Bend with Black Diamond package, Outer Banks Series, and 2-door Base will pay $5,400, while a 4-door and 2-door Badlands Bronco driver can get the package for $2,850. The price discrepancy lies in the less-expensive version not featuring the pro cal tool and 2-inch suspension lift. Drivers can order the Coastal Package on the Ford Custom Garage website or add it to their new Bronco order. While the bundle doesn't include tires, it's designed around the 33-inch all-terrain tires from the Bronco Badlands, according to Ford. Drivers who purchase the Bronco's Coastal Package receive a 3-year or 36,000-mile warranty, whichever comes first, when the upgrade is installed by a Ford dealer or ASE/Red Seal certified technician. Final thoughts There's no doubt that the Coastal Package's $5,400 price tag isn't a small sum to pay, given that it doesn't include powertrain upgrades, but it may still find an audience with its distinct aesthetics and seasonal timing. One of the 2025 Bronco's special editions, the Stroppe Edition, boasts unique styling features showcased on stages like the 2025 New York International Auto Show. However, the Stroppe Edition Bronco starts at a hefty $75,635. Alternatively, drivers who don't want to fork over the money for a Stroppe Edition or pay $5,400 for a lifted Bronco Coastal Package can select the Bronco Big Bend's Free Wheeling Appearance Package, which adds red, orange, and yellow stripe side graphics reminiscent of 1970s and 1980s Bronco, F-150, F-100, and Econoline van models. In addition to dynamic graphics, the Free Wheeling Appearance Package contains painted steel wheels and black finishes on the grilles, mirrors, and bumpers, forming an appearance that's equally fit for the beach. Would you pay that much for the Coastal Package?

Bronco SUV's New Ford Performance Coastal Package Adds Beachy Theme
Special editions quickly become the life blood of niche vehicles like the Bronco SUV, keeping interest alive well after the initial novelty has worn off. Ford is the master—look at the Mustang lineup over the decades—and while we are trying our best to be jaded and cynical, there is something about this new Ford Performance Bronco Coastal Package that makes us want to jump into our vintage Ocean Pacific jams, crank up the Bangles and, like, head for the beach, dude. The Coastal Package is designed for four-door Broncos, and consists of a 2-inch suspension lift and new silver wheels with matching silver grille, fender flares, and a see-through 'Bimini' top with a silver bucking Bronco logo. The job is rounded out by a full-length stripe decal in chill 1980s colors. Go on, grab Cory Feldman and head down to the beach at Malibu, where you'll find a film crew waiting to feature you in a movie involving lots of women in bikinis. Dude! The Coastal Package is a $5,400 kit available from Ford Performance, and it can be installed by the dealer or an ASE Red Seal–certified technician, which we presume will cost extra. (Actually, you can download the instructions and do it yourself, but then you'll miss out on the 3 year/36,000 mile Ford Performance warranty.) The package can be applied to any 2025 Bronco, provided that Bronco has four doors and was originally ordered in Base, Big Bend (with or without the Black Diamond Package), or Outer Banks trims, but is independent of powertrain—four or six cylinder and manual or automatic are all okay. And hey, why not? The Coastal Package is a cool theme that, like the coast itself, makes every day feel like a vacation. We'd get one.

2025 Ford Bronco Is Ready to Hit the Beach with New Coastal Package
Ford Performance adds a new beach-centric appearance package for the 2025 Ford Bronco, just in time for summer. Along with visual changes, including silver wheels, silver fenders, and a silver grille, the Coastal package also includes a two-inch lift. The Coastal package is available on most four-door Bronco models and runs $5400 on the Ford Performance website before dealer installation fees. If you wanted to turn heads in a Ford Bronco this summer, you could shell out the roughly $90,000 required for a Bronco Raptor—that would certainly do the trick. Or you could take your pick of less expensive Broncos and add Ford Performance's new Coastal package. Ford Performance Ford Performance The appearance package is available on four-door versions of the Bronco in the Base, Big Bend, Black Diamond, and Outer Banks trims. Most of the changes are purely visual, with the beach-focused package adding silver 17-inch wheels, silver fender flares, and a silver grille. The sides of the Bronco get bright striping, and the soft-top is emblazoned with the Bronco logo. Since the package doesn't do anything to the Bronco's powertrain, either the 2.3-liter four-cylinder or the 2.7-liter V-6 is A-OK. The same is true for the transmission; both the 10-speed auto and seven-speed manual are compatible. Outside of the visuals, the Coastal package adds a two-inch lift to the Bronco to make navigating sandy beaches a little easier. A Pro Cal Tool is included in the kit to calibrate the speedometer accordingly. Ford Performance While the Coastal package does come with five wheels (including the rear-mounted spare), it doesn't include any new rubber, so customers will have to source tires on their own. The package is available on and carries a $5400 price tag before any dealer installation fees.
