Since 1966, the Ford Bronco has been an icon of adventure, blending rugged capability with timeless design. The 2026 Ford Bronco continues that legacy, offering unmatched versatility for those who refuse to be confined by pavement. With its commanding stance, removable roof and doors, and trail-ready hardware, the Bronco delivers an authentic off-road experience that’s built for explorers, weekend warriors, and everyday adventurers alike.
Inside, you’ll find a cabin that strikes a rare balance—tough enough to handle mud-splattered boots and gear, yet refined enough for comfortable highway cruising. Whether you’re tackling rocky trails, cruising down scenic highways, or navigating city streets, the Bronco feels right at home. Its range of available trims and accessories means drivers can tailor it for their ideal mix of capability, comfort, and style.
From its confident performance to its advanced technology and trail-tested engineering, the 2026 Bronco stands as a true embodiment of Ford’s adventurous spirit. It even helps you celebrate six decades of this automotive icon with a new 60th Anniversary Package. The Bronco is not just transportation—it’s a passport to freedom, discovery, and the open road ahead.

Performance and Capability
The 2026 Ford Bronco is engineered for adventure, offering a lineup of powerful engines and a platform designed for serious off-road performance. You can expect robust torque, impressive towing capacity, and the kind of trail dominance that only a purpose-built 4×4 can deliver.
Capable Powertrain Options
Under the hood, the Bronco offers a range of turbocharged engines designed to provide responsive power while maintaining efficiency. The standard 2.3L turbocharged I-4 engine delivers strong performance for both daily driving and off-roading, with 300 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque for a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 lbs.
Meanwhile, the available 2.7L turbocharged V6 brings extra muscle for those who crave more punch when climbing steep grades or powering through sand and snow, producing 330 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque, with a maximum towing capacity of 4,100 lbs.
Lastly, the 3.0L turbocharged V6 engine, exclusive to the Bronco Raptor, takes things one step further, delivering 418 hp and 440 lb-ft of torque for a maximum towing capacity of 4,500 lbs.
Each engine is paired with a smooth-shifting transmission that’s tuned to handle both highway and low-speed rock-crawling conditions. For those who demand ultimate control, the available seven-speed manual transmission—complete with a crawler gear—offers an engaging driving experience that puts power right where you need it. Meanwhile, Ford’s advanced 10-speed automatic transmission delivers optimal gearing for every terrain, balancing fuel economy with off-road capability.
Built for Off-Roading
Sophisticated 4×4 systems back the Bronco’s terrain-conquering credentials. You can choose between part-time and full-time four-wheel drive, both supported by Ford’s exclusive Terrain Management System featuring GOAT Modes (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain). These selectable drive modes—such as Sand, Slippery, Mud/Ruts, and Rock Crawl—optimize throttle response, transmission mapping, and traction control for each unique surface.
When it comes to off-road geometry, the Bronco doesn’t compromise. With up to 13.1 inches of ground clearance, impressive approach and departure angles, and a high-mounted air intake, it’s ready to take on deep water, loose gravel, and jagged rocks. Available features, such as electronic locking front and rear differentials, an electronic sway bar disconnect, and heavy-duty skid plates, make it a true beast in the wild.
For those who prefer the toughest Bronco experience, the available Sasquatch Package equips the SUV with 35-inch all-terrain tires, high-clearance fender flares, and unique Bilstein position-sensitive dampers for optimal shock absorption on rough trails. Add in the available Trail Turn Assist and Trail Control systems, and you have one of the most capable off-road SUVs on the market, ready to make every journey an adventure.
Interior and Technology
Inside the 2026 Ford Bronco, rugged meets refined. Designed for drivers who love the outdoors but also appreciate modern convenience, the cabin offers both comfort and utility. Every surface feels purposeful and durable, yet premium materials and thoughtful design touches make it a pleasant place to spend long hours on the road or trail.
Depending on the trim level, the Bronco offers cloth, marine-grade vinyl, or available leather-trimmed seating. The marine-grade vinyl option is perfect for those who like to get dirty—it’s resistant to moisture and easy to clean, making it ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. Drain plugs built directly into the rubberized flooring allow for quick washouts after muddy adventures, letting you spend less time cleaning and more time exploring.
Advanced Tech Features
Even with its rugged personality, the Bronco doesn’t cut corners on technology. The centerpiece of the cabin is the SYNC 4 infotainment system with a large touchscreen display that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. With crisp graphics and intuitive menus, it provides quick access to navigation, music, and communication features without distraction. The standard 12-inch touchscreen is crisp and gorgeous, seamlessly integrating Ford’s available 360-degree camera to provide a full view of your surroundings when navigating tight trails or parking lots, including a bird’s-eye view.
Additional tech highlights include a premium Bang & Olufsen (B&O) sound system, which delivers crystal-clear audio throughout the cabin. Over-the-air updates ensure your Bronco stays current with the latest features and improvements, updating overnight while the vehicle is turned off. You can also access trail maps and off-road navigation directly through the infotainment system, providing an extra layer of confidence on unfamiliar terrain.
Comfort for Every Adventure
Comfort is equally prioritized. Dual-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, and a heated steering wheel are available, making the Bronco as accommodating in the winter as it is in summer. Generous legroom and smart storage compartments make it practical for families or gear-heavy trips. The rear seats fold flat to expand the cargo area, providing up to 52.3 cu.ft. in two-door models and 83 cu.ft. in four-door models, providing room for camping equipment, coolers, or even bicycles.
For those who crave open-air freedom, the Bronco’s removable roof panels and doors offer an authentic outdoor driving experience. These panels are designed for quick removal and storage, transforming the cabin into an open cockpit that connects you directly with nature. Whether you’re driving through town or through wooded trails, few SUVs offer this level of freedom and versatility.
Safety and Driver Assistance
The 2026 Ford Bronco doesn’t just deliver excitement—it also provides peace of mind. Built with Ford’s high-strength steel frame and a suite of advanced safety technologies, it’s engineered to protect you both on and off the road.
Built Safe
Standard safety features include multiple airbags, an advanced traction control system, and Ford’s Safety Canopy system for side-curtain protection. The Bronco also features the Ford Co-Pilot360 suite of driver-assist technologies, which offers confidence-enhancing tools such as Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, a Lane-Keeping System, and Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with Cross-Traffic Alert. These features work seamlessly to monitor your surroundings, helping you avoid potential hazards whether you’re in city traffic or exploring backcountry roads.
Available Adaptive Cruise Control takes the stress out of long drives by automatically adjusting your speed to maintain a safe following distance. Meanwhile, Evasive Steering Assist can provide extra steering support if you need to maneuver quickly to avoid an obstacle. Hill Descent Control and Hill Start Assist give you confidence when navigating steep grades, and the Rear View Camera with Backup Assist ensures that even tight spots are manageable.
All Aspects Covered
For off-road adventures, Ford extends its commitment to safety beyond paved roads. The available Trail Control system acts like low-speed cruise control for off-roading, letting you focus on steering while the Bronco maintains consistent traction. High-intensity LED headlamps and available LED fog lamps enhance visibility in dark or dusty environments, while the roll cage-style structure and reinforced underbody protect critical components during extreme conditions.
The Bronco also supports available connected features that enhance safety and convenience. With the FordPass app, you can remotely start your vehicle, locate it in a crowded parking lot, and even check maintenance alerts—all from your smartphone. This blend of mechanical toughness and digital intelligence makes the Bronco one of the most secure and capable SUVs in its class.
What truly sets the Bronco apart, however, is how seamlessly its safety technology complements its rugged performance. The Bronco’s intelligent sensors and stability control systems are calibrated for both paved roads and unpredictable terrain, ensuring stability when cresting steep inclines or descending loose gravel trails. Optional off-road camera views and real-time traction monitoring let you react faster to changing conditions, while advanced lighting systems improve visibility when daylight fades. In short, the Bronco doesn’t just protect you—it empowers you to tackle every challenge with greater control and peace of mind.
