Which Bronco models have heated seats?
Heated front seats are available on most newer Bronco trims, usually via a Cold Weather Package, and are standard on some higher-end editions.
This article explains how the feature is offered across the Bronco lineup, clarifying which models commonly include heated seats and how to verify for your specific year and build.
Where heated seats show up in the Bronco lineup
In Ford's Bronco family, heated seats are not universal on the base model. The feature is typically packaged with cold-weather comforts and often appears on mid-to-high trim levels, including special editions. Availability can vary by model year and region. The following trims most often offer heated front seats, either as standard equipment or via the Cold Weather Package.
What the Cold Weather Package typically includes
The Cold Weather Package is the most common route to heated front seats on Bronco models. In many years, it also includes features like a heated steering wheel and remote start. Exact contents can vary by year and trim, so check the specific build when you’re shopping.
- Outer Banks
- Badlands
- Wildtrak
- Everglades
- Raptor
Note: Whether heated seats are standard or require the Cold Weather Package depends on the model year and the dealer's configuration. Always confirm with the window sticker or the dealer for the exact setup on your Bronco.
How to verify heated-seat availability for your Bronco
To confirm heated seats for a specific Bronco you’re considering, use these steps:
- Review the vehicle’s window sticker or Ford’s Build & Price page for the exact model year to see if heated front seats are included or part of a package.
- Ask the dealer to confirm whether the Cold Weather Package (or equivalent interior upgrade) is installed and what it includes.
- If you’re ordering, request the package that includes heated seats and, if desired, a heated steering wheel.
- Consider test-driving a higher trim to experience the standard vs optional features firsthand.
Availability can shift with model-year changes or regional options, so this verification step is important before purchase.
Summary
Heated front seats are a common feature in the Bronco lineup, typically delivered through the Cold Weather Package or as standard on some higher-end trims and special editions. If you’re shopping across 2021–present Broncos, target trims like Outer Banks, Badlands, Wildtrak, Everglades, or Raptor for the best odds of heated seats. Always verify the exact configuration with the latest brochure, window sticker, or your dealer to ensure the setup meets your needs.
