Ford has a surprise in store for the Bronco Sport, and a mysterious video insinuates that it could involve an off-road-centric Yeti Bundle similar to what Ford provides for the larger Bronco.
The video, shared on Ford’s social media profiles on Monday, displays a Bronco Sport’s back covered in mud. A large shaggy limb resembling what is associated with the rumored creature called a Yeti (or Bigfoot) then emerges and inscribes the date August 26 in the mud.
The Yeti Bundle for the Bronco includes off-road enhancements like 35-inch tires, locking front and rear differentials, and Bilstein shocks. Comparable components are anticipated for the Bronco Sport’s package, potentially adjusted slightly to suit the smaller SUV.
The current most adept model of the Bronco Sport is the Badlands. Ford also provides a Black Diamond Off-Road Package for the Big Bend and Outer Banks editions.

Camouflaged test models for a more capable Bronco Sport have already been sighted. They seem to possess increased ground clearance compared to the current Bronco Sport, along with a distinctive wheel style and Goodyear Territory RT tires instead of the Falken Wildpeak AT tires that are presently offered on the Bronco Sport.
These same test models also showcase updated interiors featuring a larger entertainment screen. This suggests that Ford is likely preparing an overhaul for the Bronco Sport lineup, in addition to a Yeti Bundle.
Considering the timing of the unveiling, it is probable that the upgraded Bronco Sport equipped with the Yeti Bundle will be unveiled for the 2025 model year in the United States.
