2027 Ford Bronco Filson 3.0L Twin-Turbo V6: Power, Specs, and Off-Road Capability
The 2027 Ford Bronco Filson is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 producing 300 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque. This engine is shared with the Bronco Raptor and carries application-specific tuning exclusive to the Filson trim. This page covers how the engine works, which trims get it, and what it means on the trail. Browse Koons Ford Bronco inventory online.
Feature Overview: The 3.0L Twin-Turbo V6 in the Bronco Lineup
The 3.0-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6 sits at the top of the 2027 Bronco engine family. The Bronco lineup offers three engines total: a 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline-4 on base trims, an optional 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 on Outer Banks, and the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 reserved for the Filson and Raptor.
That 310 lb-ft of torque is what matters most in off-road situations. Torque is what pulls you out of a ditch, carries you over loose rock, and handles sustained climbs when momentum stalls. The 3.0-liter produces that torque across a usable RPM band, which means the engine does not need to be wound hard before the power arrives.
Ford developed this engine alongside the Bronco Raptor, the most capable factory Bronco ever built. For the Filson, engineers applied tuning adjustments specific to the trim's character: more composed on pavement, still relentless on dirt.

How It Works: Twin-Turbo EcoBoost Architecture
Twin-turbo means two smaller turbochargers instead of one large unit. The advantage is response time. Two smaller turbos spool faster than one large one, which reduces lag between the moment the driver asks for power and the moment it arrives. For a vehicle used on technical trails where throttle modulation matters, that response time has a practical effect.
The EcoBoost architecture combines direct fuel injection with the twin-turbo system. Direct injection puts fuel precisely where combustion needs it, which contributes to both output and thermal management. The result is a 3.0-liter displacement that performs well above what the displacement number alone suggests.
The 3.0-liter pairs exclusively with the 10-speed automatic transmission in the Bronco Filson. That transmission spaces its gear ratios to keep the engine in its torque band across a wide range of speeds, from crawling over boulders to steady highway cruising.
Every Bronco Filson also comes standard with the Sasquatch Package, which includes front and rear electronic locking differentials, Fox shocks with internal bypass technology, and 35-inch rugged-terrain tires. The Sasquatch Package is what puts the engine's output to the ground effectively in challenging conditions.

Across the Trims: Which Bronco Gets the 3.0L Engine
The 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 is not available on every Bronco trim. Here is how the engine options break down for 2027:
Bronco RTR
The Bronco RTR uses the 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline-4. Buyers looking for a capable, lighter powertrain with the 7-speed manual option will find it here. The RTR also offers the 10-speed automatic. This is the trail-ready entry point for the 2027 Bronco.
Bronco Outer Banks
The Outer Banks trim makes the 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 available as an option. The 2.7-liter adds displacement and output over the base engine but does not reach the output level of the 3.0-liter twin-turbo.
Bronco Filson
The Bronco Filson receives the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 as its standard, only engine. There is no 4-cylinder option on the Filson. Every Filson buyer gets 300 hp and 310 lb-ft of torque.
This distinction matters for buyers who want the Filson's premium interior and expedition-grade capability without choosing between them. The powertrain is not a separate decision on this trim. It is part of the package.

Real-World Benefit: What 300 HP and 310 lb-ft Deliver on the Trail
Three hundred horsepower sounds strong on a spec sheet. What it translates to in daily and off-road use is a vehicle that does not hesitate.
On technical trails, the twin-turbo V6 works alongside Trail 1-Pedal Drive, a Filson-exclusive feature that gives the driver precise throttle and brake control through a single pedal input. Slow-speed rock crawling requires exactly the kind of linear, predictable power delivery that the 3.0-liter and 10-speed automatic combination provides.
The G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) system offers seven selectable modes: Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, Baja, Off-Road, and Rock Crawl. Each mode adjusts throttle mapping, traction control, and transmission behavior to match conditions. The 3.0-liter's broad torque band means that even in Rock Crawl mode, where wheel speed is minimal, the engine has enough torque to respond without stalling.
Trail Turn Assist tightens the turning radius off-road by braking the inside rear wheel. It requires torque to keep the vehicle moving while that braking happens. The 3.0-liter provides that reserve.
For buyers in Annapolis who use a Bronco as a daily vehicle and a weekend trail machine, the engine's on-road character is also worth noting. Ford and Filson collaborated specifically on noise reduction for the Filson cabin, achieving nearly 20% less perceived wind noise compared to the 2021 Bronco. The 3.0-liter's tuning contributes to a composed, quiet driving experience when conditions allow. Ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, and the B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen complete a cabin that treats silence as a feature.
How It Compares: The 3.0L in Context
The 2027 Bronco Filson's 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 competes in a segment where most premium off-road SUVs rely on naturally aspirated or mild-hybrid V8 configurations. The twin-turbo approach gives the Bronco Filson a weight advantage over V8-powered rivals while delivering competitive torque figures.
The Filson's 35-inch factory tires, full Sasquatch Package hardware, and front and rear electronic lockers represent a more capable out-of-box configuration than most competitors at a comparable price point. Other premium 4x4 vehicles often require aftermarket upgrades to match the ground clearance and articulation that the Filson delivers from the factory.
The fact that this engine is also found in the Bronco Raptor, a vehicle developed specifically for high-speed desert and Baja-style terrain, signals its durability ceiling. The Filson uses the same foundation but tunes it for refinement, which makes it the more versatile daily choice of the two.
