The 2027 Ford Bronco Filson arrives in the US as an upscale take on the Ranger-based SUV, developed through a partnership with the established outdoor label.

Ford previously teamed with Filson on the Bronco Filson Wildland Fire Rig concept shown in 2020, which illustrated a firefighting forestry configuration for the Bronco.

Drawing from that idea, the production Bronco Filson marks the first retail model from the joint effort, with design teams from both firms working together.

Based in Seattle, Washington, Filson dates back to 1897 and makes outdoor apparel and gear such as footwear, fishing vests, beanies, water canteens and hunting knives.

The company also maintains ties with the United States Forest Service.

Initial customer deliveries of the Bronco Filson in the US are slated for early 2027, with pricing set in the mid-$US70,000s ($A106,319), versus $US79,995 ($A113,400) for the top Bronco Raptor.

Ford Australia has informed CarExpert it has no intention of importing the Bronco Filson or any Bronco variant, even though it shares architecture with the locally sold Ford Ranger.

The Filson becomes the first sixth-generation Bronco besides the Raptor flagship to receive the 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6 petrol engine, while other versions use the smaller turbo 2.3-litre four-cylinder or twin-turbo 2.7-litre V6 petrol units, though Ford has not confirmed whether it matches the Raptor's 418 horsepower (312kW) and 440 lb-ft (597Nm) figures.

It arrives standard with the Sasquatch package, bringing 35-inch all-terrain tyres, front and rear locking differentials and Ford's Goes Over Any Type of Terrain (GOAT) drive modes. The Filson also features custom-tuned Fox shock absorbers with bypass valves.

Ford states this combination aims to boost off-road performance while preserving on-road comfort, helped by a redesigned roof that cuts cabin noise by 20 per cent when fitted, relative to a 2021 Bronco.

Ford positions it as the quietest Bronco produced to date.

Filson supplied a selection of outdoor-themed colours from its range, highlighted by exclusive Field Green Metallic paint, while distinctive styling elements encompass a custom grille, Bronco lettering and heritage-painted wheel arches, mirror caps and tie-down points.

The Bronco Filson First Edition comes in exclusive Iron Sands Copper Metallic paint, plus unique badging, a custom centre-console plaque and Filson-inspired cargo storage bags.

Filson-inspired removable saddle bags, built to resist dirt and water, appear throughout the cabin, which is reached via new power-deployable side steps.

Inside, twill seat fabric covers the heated and ventilated front seats and heated rear seats, with premium details including a perforated leather steering wheel and leather-wrapped instrument panel.

Brass accents appear on the steering wheel and drive-mode selector, and an upgraded B and O audio system comes standard.

Ford will reciprocate with a limited-edition Bronco x Filson merchandise collection sold via the Filson site.

Filson is not the first outdoor apparel partner for Ford. Between 1984 and 2010, the company offered special Eddie Bauer editions across various SUVs, pickups and people movers.
