Badlands is the trail-focused end of the Bronco Sport lineup at Apple Sport Ford, and the hardware backs that up. It steps up to a 2.0L EcoBoost engine and 8-speed automatic, and every one we carry adds a steel-plated front bumper, front recovery hooks, and active grille shutters on top of the standard 4WD. This is the Bronco Sport built for a buyer who actually intends to leave pavement, not just look like they might.

The tradeoff is fuel economy and everyday simplicity. The larger 2.0L engine trades some of Big Bend's efficiency (21 city and 27 highway on the Badlands we read, against 25 and 30 on the Big Bend) for real low-end power and a bash plate you will actually use, and Badlands carries more standard off-road equipment than either Big Bend or Outer Banks. If your Bronco Sport is mostly going to see Hwy 6 and the school parking lot, that hardware is more than you need.

Badlands is the pick for the buyer running ranch gates and river-access roads around Marlin who wants a smaller footprint than the full-size Bronco but does not want to give up front recovery hooks and a real skid plate to get it. Ask our sales team about availability, since Badlands is one of the lowest-volume trims we carry.

Most shoppers on this page are coming from Waco, about a half hour up Highway 6 from our lot in Marlin, and a Badlands built for ranch gates and gravel around Marlin works just as well for the rougher county roads outside Waco.

Buying a Bronco Sport at Apple Sport Ford: Common Questions

Can I order a Bronco Sport if you don't have the one I want in stock?

Yes. If the trim, color, or option package you want isn't on our lot, we can search other Ford stores or place a factory order in your name. Order timing varies by configuration, and we'll give you a realistic estimate before you commit. Call 254-237-9134 with the build you have in mind.

What makes Badlands different from the other Bronco Sport trims?

Badlands steps up to a 2.0L EcoBoost engine and adds a steel-plated front bumper, front recovery hooks, and active grille shutters that Big Bend and Outer Banks don't carry. It's the trim built for buyers who actually plan to leave pavement, not just look like they might.

Will you take my current SUV on trade?

We do, and you don't have to buy anything to find out what it's worth. Submit a free trade appraisal and we'll give you a real number you can put toward your Bronco Sport. Trade equity often covers the down payment outright. High-mileage and older vehicles are still worth appraising.

Is Badlands hard to find on your lot?

Yes. It's one of the two lowest-volume trims in our Bronco Sport lineup, alongside Heritage. Call our sales team to check current availability, or ask about a factory order if you want this exact build.

What financing options do you offer, and can I get approved with imperfect credit?

We work with Ford Credit and a range of regional lenders, which means we can usually find an option for first-time buyers, commercial buyers, and customers rebuilding credit. Run the numbers yourself with our payment calculator, then submit a secure finance application. It takes a few minutes and doesn't obligate you to anything.

Who services the SUV after I buy it?

We do. Our factory-certified Ford service department and parts department are on site, using genuine Ford parts. Schedule service online anytime.

Feature availability and capability ratings vary by configuration and package selection, and are subject to change. Contact Apple Sport Ford at 254-237-9134 to confirm details on a specific vehicle.
