Got my '25 Black Diamond Bronco Sport… Loving it so far

I’ve been checking out this forum for about 6 months now, and I finally get to post here! Also, just wanted to say hi to everyone.

Love it! Reminds me of a frenchie with an underbite :rofl:

Haha, now I can’t unsee that :joy:

I might be in the minority here, but I’m not a fan of the new bull bar bumper. I was hoping for something that looked more rugged for off-road use. Most of the other updates are nice, though. I just miss having more physical buttons for when you’re out in dirt or snow.

@Jaden
I totally agree. The gray plastic and that bull bar just seem off. I could be wrong, but it doesn’t look like it’s even attached to anything solid behind the plastic.

I have one on order, and I get what you mean about the gray. But it’s actually steel.

…a standard front brush guard, steel skid plates, and modular bumpers with steel bash plates as the first point of contact.

@Dacey
Oh wow, I didn’t know that. The color just threw me off and made me think it was plastic.

Beautiful! I wanted the Black Diamond package on my Outer Banks, but I don’t really live near any off-road parks, so the OB works for beach trips. The Black Diamond upgrade looks even better this year.

@Dorian
The Black Diamond Package is only an option for the Big Bend. The Sasquatch Package is what’s available for the Outer Banks.

Maybe for 2025, but back in 2023, the Black Diamond package was available on both the OB and Badlands, not just the Big Bend.

@Dorian
You’re right about the older models. For 2025, it’s different. And now the package comes with about 15 features, making it a much better deal.

Ah, I see what you mean. Thanks for clearing that up. And yeah, the upgrade this year is definitely worth it. I love the two-door Broncos, but the four-door doesn’t do it for me.

@Dorian
Totally get it. Broncos are great overall, though.

Oh, I love it!

The Black Diamond package is such a great addition. I like the Badlands too, but a Big Bend with skid plates and recovery points can handle almost everything, and it’s more fuel-efficient.

Does this package come with the tow package as well?

@Hollis
Yep! It includes the “Class II Trailer Tow Package with Trailer Sway Control and a full-size spare tire.”

Congrats! I made the first video of a 2025 model at a dealer lot, but it looks like you’re the first to post about owning one. Awesome! Waiting on my Outer Banks to arrive in February.

Thanks! I kept bugging my rep for updates, and as soon as this one got off the delivery truck, I grabbed it. Took about a week. Still learning all the features, but I’m really happy with it.

Is that your Bronco Sport Badlands next to it? What’s the biggest difference you’ve noticed?
