The Ford Bronco® earned its reputation by going places conventional SUVs couldn't. For 2026, that tradition continues with body-on-frame construction, standard 4-wheel drive, and an extensive selection of trail-ready equipment. Seven models, three turbocharged engines, and specialized suspension systems give drivers around Hilo, HI, plenty of choices for tackling rocky trails, coastal roads, and everything between. Seven Models Cover the Off-Road Spectrum The lineup begins with Base, featuring standard 4-wheel drive and a 12-inch digital instrument cluster. Big Bend® adds convenience features, while Outer Banks® emphasizes comfort and upscale appointments. Badlands® introduces more aggressive off-road equipment, including protective skid plates and an electronic front stabilizer-bar disconnect. Heritage Edition recalls the original Bronco® with distinctive styling. Stroppe Edition celebrates the nameplate's racing history, while Raptor® occupies the top position with the lineup's most powerful engine and advanced suspension hardware. Three EcoBoost® Engines Deliver the Power The standard 2.3L EcoBoost® 4-cylinder develops 300 hp and 325 lbs. ft. of torque on premium fuel. Depending on configuration, it pairs with a 7-speed manual or 10-speed automatic transmission. The available 2.7L EcoBoost® V6 increases output to 330 hp and 415 lbs. ft. of torque, using a 10-speed automatic. Raptor® receives a specially tuned 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 producing 418 hp and 440 lbs. ft. of torque. That's substantial output for an SUV engineered to negotiate obstacles at low speeds. HOSS Suspension Takes Center Stage Ford's High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension systems distinguish the Bronco® from ordinary sport utilities. Entry models feature HOSS 1.0, while Badlands® upgrades to HOSS 2.0 with Bilstein® position-sensitive dampers. Raptor® goes further with HOSS 4.0 and FOX™ Live Valve semi-active dampers. Every Bronco® combines independent front suspension with a solid rear axle. Properly equipped, Raptor® provides up to 13.1 inches of ground clearance and 37 inches of water-fording capability. Available Trail Control™, Trail Turn Assist, and Trail 1-Pedal Drive help manage difficult terrain. The Sasquatch® Package Means Business For drivers seeking additional traction, the available Sasquatch® Package brings 35-inch rugged-terrain tires, electronic-locking front and rear differentials, and high-clearance fender flares. Big Bend® offers a Black Diamond™ Package with additional protective equipment. Outer Banks® can be equipped with the 60th Anniversary Package, featuring Wimbledon White styling and heritage-inspired details. These upgrades provide distinctly different approaches to trail performance and appearance. Open-Air Freedom with Practical Capability Two-door Bronco® models accommodate 4 passengers, while four-door configurations seat up to 5. Removable doors and available roof systems deliver an authentic open-air driving experience. Select models feature washable flooring with drain plugs and marine-grade vinyl seating, particularly appealing after muddy excursions. Most properly equipped models tow up to 3,500 lbs., while Raptor® increases capacity to 4,500 lbs. Modern Technology Goes Along for the Ride A standard 12-inch SYNC® 4 touchscreen supports wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™. Available features include heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, a B&O® premium audio system, and driver-assistance technologies. Auxiliary switches, MOLLE storage panels, and off-road displays further support adventurous driving.
