Why This Vehicle

Why the 2025 Ford Bronco Big Bend at McGraw Ford in Aransas Pass?

Imagine rolling off the SH-35 bridge over Corpus Christi Bay at sunrise — Desert Sand paint catching the first Gulf light, Bronco roof panels stowed, the Portland, TX waterfront materializing to your right, and nothing between you and the salt air but open Texas sky. That specific Gulf Coast moment is precisely what VIN 1FMDE7BH0SLB05651 was engineered to deliver, and it's waiting on McGraw Ford's lot in Aransas Pass right now. This isn't a crossover wearing adventure marketing; the 2025 Ford Bronco Big Bend is a body-on-frame, purpose-built trail SUV with removable doors, a detachable modular roof, and a factory terrain management system that no competitor in this price class can match. McGraw Ford has priced this Desert Sand example at $56,799 — $4,750 below the $61,549 MSRP — making it one of the most aggressively positioned new Bronco Big Bends within reach of Corpus Christi and Portland buyers. Under the hood, the turbocharged 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder generates 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission that delivers smooth highway acceleration and responsive low-speed crawl control when the terrain demands it.

Equipment Group 222A loads VIN B05651 with the Mid Package — a content upgrade that includes the 12-inch SYNC 4 LCD touchscreen, SiriusXM with 360L satellite radio (active in all 50 states), a digital instrument cluster with off-road telemetry display, leather-wrapped gear knob and steering wheel, locking glove box, and cruise control. FordPass Connect provides onboard 4G LTE WiFi for up to 10 devices and remote smartphone vehicle control via the FordPass app. The interior's vinyl black seating is a deliberate choice for Coastal Bend lifestyle: it wipes clean after a day on Padre Island sand, shrugs off the saltwater and humidity that fabric upholstery absorbs over time, and holds up to the repeated load-bearing and entry demands of a vehicle that genuinely gets used off-road. Kelley Blue Book rates the 2025 Bronco 4.3 out of 5.0, with owner feedback consistently citing the Bronco's rugged capability, head-turning design, and surprisingly comfortable on-pavement ride — exactly the combination that coastal buyers who also commute daily need from a single vehicle.

Technology Built for Gulf Coast Adventure: SYNC 4, GOAT Modes, and Connected Capability

12-Inch SYNC 4 Touchscreen with Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto

The 12-inch portrait-orientation LCD display running SYNC 4 is the operational center of the Big Bend's cabin — a genuinely modern system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, over-the-air update capability, and a dedicated off-road trail map feature accessible via FordPass. Navigation, media, climate, and vehicle settings are organized into a swipe-and-pinch interface that responds without the lag common in touchscreen systems from Toyota and GM in this segment. Paired with SiriusXM with 360L — active across all 50 states, including the remote stretches of Padre Island National Seashore where FM signals fade to static — the infotainment system delivers connectivity whether you're parked at a Corpus Christi office or a Rockport fishing pier.

GOAT Terrain Management System — 7 Selectable Drive Modes

GOAT — Goes Over Any Type of Terrain — is the Bronco's factory terrain management architecture, and it operates at a depth of calibration that no aftermarket system can replicate. Seven modes (Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, Sand, Mud/Ruts, Rock Crawl) each simultaneously reconfigure throttle input mapping, 10-speed transmission shift scheduling, ABS modulation thresholds, and traction/stability control intervention points. Sand mode alone makes VIN B05651 more capable on Mustang Island and Matagorda Island sand than most SUVs equipped with aftermarket lift kits and mud-terrain tires. The system integrates with Hill Start Assist and — on Bronco models equipped with the optional front locking differential — coordinates with axle lock engagement for maximum articulation.

Serving Corpus Christi, Portland, and All 13 Coastal Bend Communities

Shoppers searching for a 2025 Ford Bronco Big Bend near Corpus Christi or Portland, TX will find McGraw Ford's Aransas Pass location an easy and worthwhile drive. We sit approximately 35 miles northeast of downtown Corpus Christi via US-181 North — a route that takes you across the Nueces Bay Causeway and into the heart of the Coastal Bend's most authentic Ford dealer. Portland buyers coming south on SH-35 are just 30 miles away and can see our lot from the bridge approach on a clear day. VIN 1FMDE7BH0SLB05651 — this Desert Sand Big Bend — is priced at $56,799, a $4,750 savings from the $61,549 MSRP, making it one of the most competitive new Bronco prices available to buyers throughout the Corpus Christi metropolitan area and the Portland waterfront corridor. Both primary markets are underserved by local Bronco inventory; McGraw Ford's stock and transparent pricing give Corpus Christi and Portland buyers a clear alternative to inflated big-city dealer markups.

Rockport and Port Aransas buyers understand Coastal Bend terrain in ways that inland customers don't — oyster-shell county roads, salt-air corrosion cycles, beach sand that swallows unprepared vehicles, and boat ramps that demand 4x4 confidence. The Bronco Big Bend's AdvanceTrac with RSC, GOAT Sand mode, and standard all-terrain tires were engineered for exactly this environment. Ingleside residents on SH-361 and Gregory neighbors just north of Portland have some of the shortest commutes in the region to reach our Aransas Pass showroom. Kingsville buyers making the trip across Jim Wells and San Patricio counties and Alice customers crossing the Wild Horse Desert will find that McGraw Ford's pricing on VIN B05651 justifies every mile — and our finance team's experience with all credit profiles means you won't leave empty-handed.

Marcus T. — Corpus Christi, TX
★★★★★
"Drove up US-181 from Corpus Christi to McGraw Ford specifically for this Desert Sand Bronco Big Bend. From the moment I crossed the Nueces Bay Causeway and saw it sitting on the lot, I knew it was mine. The finance team worked around my situation — multiple lenders, no pressure, honest monthly payment. Two months later I've taken it to Padre Island, run the sand trails near Bob Hall Pier, and used every one of those GOAT modes. The 2.3L EcoBoost pulls strong and the 10-speed auto is smooth on the highway. Zero regrets on the drive or the deal."

Tanya R. — Portland, TX
★★★★★
"I came down SH-35 from Portland because McGraw Ford had the exact color and trim I wanted when every dealer in Corpus Christi was asking over MSRP. The McGraw price was $56,799 and they honored it — no surprise fees, no bait and switch. The 12-inch SYNC 4 screen is light-years ahead of the Toyota infotainment I traded in, and pulling the roof panels off for the first time on the Nueces Bay Causeway was one of those moments you remember. If you're in Portland or anywhere near the Coastal Bend, just drive to Aransas Pass and let these folks put you in one."
2025-12-19 · Google
Derek S. — Rockport, TX
★★★★★
"I run a fishing guide service out of Rockport and needed something that could tow my bay boat to the Goose Island boat ramp, handle the oyster-shell roads in Aransas County, and still present well enough for a client pickup in town. The Bronco Big Bend does all three without complaint. McGraw Ford is 12 miles from my house — practically my neighborhood dealer — and their service department has handled two previous Fords for me without a hiccup. The AdvanceTrac with RSC gave me confidence towing through some gusty crosswinds on the way to Port Aransas last month. This thing was engineered for exactly where we live."

Safety & Driver Assist

2025 Ford Bronco Big Bend: 4-Star NHTSA Safety for Coastal Bend Conditions

Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking

Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking is standard on the 2025 Bronco Big Bend — a forward-facing radar and camera system that detects vehicles and pedestrians up to highway distances, delivering progressive visual and audio alerts before autonomously applying maximum brake force if the driver doesn't respond. On the SH-35 corridor between Portland and Aransas Pass, where traffic slows unpredictably near the Nueces Bay Causeway approach, and on US-181 near the Corpus Christi interchange, this system provides a critical collision-mitigation backstop.

AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control (RSC)

AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control is Ford's active chassis management system that monitors lateral acceleration, yaw rate, and individual wheel speeds simultaneously — intervening with targeted brake application and throttle reduction within milliseconds of detecting a loss-of-control trajectory. The RSC component adds roll-rate monitoring specifically designed for higher-center-of-gravity SUVs. Coastal Bend conditions test this system directly: crosswind gusts on the Nueces Bay Causeway, evasive maneuvers on narrow SH-361 between Aransas Pass and Portland, and the variable traction of wet shell-rock county roads all create dynamic instability scenarios that RSC is calibrated to address.

The 2025 Ford Bronco earned a 4-Star Overall Safety Rating from NHTSA — a meaningful benchmark for a body-on-frame off-road SUV designed to operate in demanding conditions. VIN 1FMDE7BH0SLB05651 carries the full standard safety technology suite: Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping System, AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Cross-Traffic Alert, Rear Automatic Emergency Braking, park assist, and a standard rearview camera. Dual-stage front airbags protect the driver and passenger in high-severity frontal events; side curtain airbags deploy for both first and second-row occupants. The Personal Safety System coordinates seatbelt pretensioners with airbag deployment force based on crash severity. This technology suite reflects Ford's position that off-road capability and active safety technology are not in conflict — they are complementary engineering goals in a vehicle built for real-world use.

Competitor data from manufacturer specs. Performance figures are program/test results and vary by conditions.

vs. Toyota 4Runner TRD

The Toyota 4Runner TRD makes 278 hp from a naturally-aspirated 4.0L V6 and posts a 6.8-second 0-to-60 — solid numbers built on a ladder-frame platform that dates to 2010. At this price point, you're buying a proven but aging architecture with 6,000-pound towing capacity and no open-air capability whatsoever. The 4Runner's Toyota 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty matches Ford's base coverage, but the 4Runner cannot remove its doors, has no equivalent to GOAT terrain modes, and lacks the Bronco's Trail Turn Assist. For Coastal Bend buyers who want to run the sand flats near Bob Hall Pier, explore Padre Island National Seashore backroads, or simply drive with the roof off between Aransas Pass and Port Aransas on a Saturday morning, the 4Runner's fixed-roof crossover body style is a fundamental limitation that no amount of TRD badging can overcome.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About This Vehicle

What are the GOAT terrain modes on the 2025 Ford Bronco Big Bend?

GOAT stands for Goes Over Any Type of Terrain — Ford's proprietary seven-mode terrain management system standard on the 2025 Bronco Big Bend. The seven modes are Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, Sand, Mud/Ruts, and Rock Crawl. Each mode simultaneously recalibrates throttle mapping, transmission shift logic, ABS intervention thresholds, and traction/stability control parameters to maximize capability on that specific surface type. Sand mode, for example, is purpose-tuned for the loose beach conditions at Padre Island National Seashore and Mustang Island — allowing controlled wheelspin to maintain momentum without bogging. Rock Crawl mode sets throttle to feather-light sensitivity and engages Trail Turn Assist for low-speed precision. No competitor in this price range offers a factory terrain management system with this depth of calibration.

Can you actually remove the doors and roof on the 2025 Ford Bronco Big Bend?

Yes — door and roof removal is a core Bronco design feature, not an option package. VIN 1FMDE7BH0SLB05651 includes the TOOL KIT-DOOR/TOP REMOVAL as standard equipment at no extra charge, confirmed on the window sticker. All four doors can be unbolted and safely stored using the included hardware. The modular roof panels lift free without requiring specialized dealership tools. The process takes under 30 minutes once you've done it a time or two, and the Bronco's frameless door mirrors allow full legal visibility after removal in most states. This open-air capability is unique to the Bronco in its class — no Toyota 4Runner, Chevy Colorado, or mainstream crossover SUV offers factory door removal at any price.
