2027 Ford Bronco Filson Edition Debuts: Premium Craftsmanship Meets Built Wild Capability​

Ford has officially unveiled the all-new 2027 Bronco Filson Edition, a special collaboration that blends Bronco’s legendary off-road capability with the rugged heritage and craftsmanship of Seattle-based outdoor outfitter Filson.



Inspired by the same spirit that made the classic Eddie Bauer Broncos icons of the 1990s, the Bronco Filson is designed for owners who want a vehicle capable of tackling remote backcountry adventures while offering a premium, durable interior built to age gracefully over time.

A Bronco Designed for Real Adventure​

Unlike many appearance packages, Ford says the Bronco Filson was developed around a shared philosophy between the two brands: creating products that are durable, purposeful, and built to last.

The Bronco Filson comes standard with the Sasquatch Package, including:
  • 35-inch rugged-terrain tires
  • Front and rear electronic locking differentials
  • FOX performance shocks with internal bypass technology
  • High-clearance suspension
  • Advanced off-road hardware and protection

Ford also equips the Bronco Filson with several trail-focused technologies:
  • Trail Turn Assist
  • Trail 1-Pedal Drive
  • 360-Degree Camera System
  • Seven-mode Terrain Management System with G.O.A.T. Modes

Raptor Power Without the Raptor Badge​


One of the biggest surprises is what’s under the hood. The Bronco Filson becomes the first non-Raptor Bronco to receive Ford’s twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6.

Power is routed through a 10-speed automatic transmission specifically calibrated for the Bronco Filson, giving this special edition significantly more performance than the standard Bronco powertrains while maintaining everyday drivability and long-distance comfort.

Filson’s Influence Is Most Visible Inside​


Where the collaboration truly shines is in the cabin.

Rather than creating an interior that feels overly luxurious or delicate, Ford and Filson focused on materials designed to withstand years of outdoor use while developing character over time.

Key interior features include:
  • Perforated quilted leather seating surfaces
  • Filson Rugged Twill-inspired woven seat fabric
  • Bronze-accented steering wheel and trim pieces
  • Premium wrapped dashboard
  • Ventilated front seats
  • Heated rear seats
  • Bang & Olufsen audio system
  • Removable cargo storage bags inspired by Filson gear

Built to Wear In, Not Wear Out​


Ford’s design team emphasized that the goal wasn’t to create a luxury Bronco that owners would be afraid to use.

Instead, the interior materials were selected because they develop character over time. Similar to a well-worn Filson jacket, the Bronco Filson is intended to look better after years of adventures rather than worse.

Exclusive First Edition Model Available​


To celebrate the launch, Ford will offer a limited Bronco Filson First Edition.

Exclusive features include:
  • Iron Sands Copper Metallic exterior paint
  • Unique Filson fender badging
  • Serialized center console plaque
  • Special Filson cargo storage accessories

Production and Availability​


The Bronco Filson will be assembled at Ford’s Michigan Assembly Plant in Wayne, Michigan, alongside the rest of the Bronco lineup.

Orders are scheduled to open in Fall 2026, with first deliveries expected in early 2027.

Final Thoughts​


The 2027 Bronco Filson represents one of the most interesting additions to the Bronco lineup since the vehicle’s return. Rather than simply adding cosmetic upgrades, Ford has combined serious off-road hardware, near-Raptor performance, premium materials, and genuine outdoor utility into a package aimed squarely at adventure-focused buyers.

For those who love the idea of a Bronco capable of exploring remote trails, overlanding across the country, or simply serving as a premium daily driver that embraces the outdoors, the Bronco Filson may be one of the most compelling special editions Ford has produced in years.
 
Interesting that it's the first non-Raptor Bronco to receive Ford’s twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6.
