For 2023, Ford's body-on-frame Bronco range stretched from the Base model to the 418-horsepower Bronco Raptor. Heritage Edition and Heritage Limited Edition arrived as late-availability models, pairing Oxford White roof treatments and period-inspired details with modern Bronco hardware.
This page covers the U.S.-market Bronco, not the smaller Bronco Sport and not the competition-only Bronco DR. Because equipment varied by trim, body style, powertrain and package, a buyer should confirm any individual vehicle by VIN, door-jamb certification label and its original window sticker.

EPA values are configuration-specific; do not use this range in place of the exact label for a particular vehicle.
Capability and specifications
- Maximum trailer rating
-
Up to 3,500 lb for many properly equipped standard Bronco configurations and up to 4,500 lb for Bronco Raptor.
Actual rating depends on engine, axle ratio, body style, trim, equipment and load. Consult the door label and towing guide for a specific vehicle.
- Factory assembly
-
Ford's calendar-year production table identifies Michigan Assembly as the Bronco plant.
- U.S. calendar-year sales
-
Ford reported 105,665 Bronco sales in the United States during calendar year 2023, down 9.7% from 117,057 in 2022.
This is U.S. calendar-year sales for the Bronco nameplate, not model-year production and not a trim breakdown.
Colors and interiors
- Exterior palette
-
The order guide lists Area 51, Azure Gray Metallic Tri-Coat, Cactus Gray, Carbonized Gray Metallic, Eruption Green Metallic, Hot Pepper Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat, Iconic Silver Metallic, Oxford White, Race Red, Shadow Black and Velocity Blue Metallic, with Code Orange restricted to Raptor and Robin's Egg Blue associated with the Heritage models.

Owner and buyer notes
- Verify the build
-
Match the VIN and door-jamb certification label to the original window sticker. The order guide uses body codes E5A/E5C for two-door, E5B/E5D for four-door, E5J for Raptor, and E4C/E4D/E4E/E4G for Heritage variants.
- Check open campaigns
-
Run the VIN through both NHTSA and Ford's recall lookup. Model-year lists include vehicles that may not share the exact build date, body style or equipment involved in a campaign.
- Confirm towing hardware
-
Do not infer tow capacity from trim name alone. Confirm the engine, axle ratio, body style, installed towing equipment, payload label and loaded vehicle weight.
