Changes to the Exterior
The 2026 Bronco has an extremely aggressive stance with the addition of a wider front fascia, making it look very dominant from any angle and in any light. Broader fender flares will allow for larger tires, and with the addition of improved skid plates, the Bronco will be even more capable of taking on tough terrains. The 60th Anniversary package is truly unique, based on the Outer Banks trim with the Sasquatch package. It brings back memories of the earlier days of the Bronco with its signature grille design, 17-inch wheels with the bucking bronco logo, and the exclusive 60th Anniversary badging that pays tribute to the incredible legacy of the Bronco.
Interior & Technology
The interior of the Bronco has a more sophisticated feel but retains its off-road capability. The materials have been upgraded, the overall quality controls increased, and the Bronco has a digital cockpit centred around the new 12.0-inch touchscreen. Additionally, the interior has been designed for improved comfort for both everyday and long-distance driving. For the 60th Anniversary model, there is an upgrade to the leather seats, which now have Ebony leather with Alpine inserts, Alpine stitch accents, and seatbacks embossed with a bold “60” logo to create a premium collectible appearance.
Engine Choices
The Bronco has carried over its lineup of engines from 2025, which includes a 2.3L turbocharged I-4, a 2.7L twin-turbocharged V6, and a 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 available only to Raptor models. Although the horsepower and torque ratings of these engines remain largely unchanged from last year, Ford has re-engineered the performance characteristics of all three engines to produce quicker throttle response and higher fuel economy ratings than previous years. In addition, a hybrid model is expected to be added to the lineup, indicating that Ford is working on adding electric powertrains to the Bronco’s lineup.
Advanced Off-Road Technology
The ability of the Bronco to handle off-road conditions is enhanced with the implementation of new suspension tuning, Trail Turn Assist, and an upgraded 360-degree camera system that features mud-cleaning lenses. The Badlands trim can be equipped with the front stabilizer bar disconnect, which is helpful when breaking traction in extreme situations. The Bronco Raptor is still the most extreme off-road version of the Bronco, built on FOX Live- Valve dampers and fitted with 37-inch tires.
Trims and Prices
The lineup of trims for 2026 includes the Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, Badlands, Heritage, Stroppe (now a four-door) and the Raptor. The starting price for a two-door Base Bronco is approximately $42,490.
