The Bronco has been back on the road since 2021, and it hasn’t lost its appeal. In fact, it's only gained fans who love its mix of throwback looks and real off-road strength. For 2026, Ford isn’t rewriting the playbook—it’s sticking with what works while adding a 60th Anniversary edition to celebrate this SUV’s big milestone. Here’s the rundown of what’s coming.
Key Takeaways
- Ford Bronco trims for 2026 run between $42,000 and $55,000, as of September 10, 2025.

What Updates and Features are in the 2026 Ford Bronco 60th Anniversary Edition?
The main addition for 2026 is the Bronco’s 60th Anniversary edition. To celebrate six decades of this SUV, Ford created a special model that builds off the Outer Banks trim and includes the popular Sasquatch package. The anniversary Bronco stands out with a unique red-and-white exterior and also comes with exclusive touches, like bucking bronco logos and “60” badging spread across the body and cabin. While it isn’t a full redesign or a mechanical overhaul, it’s a tribute to the Bronco’s heritage—and it’s the kind of special edition that long-time fans and collectors will notice right away.
Here’s where pricing lands for 2026:
- Base: $42,000 (est)
- Big Bend: $44,000 (est)
- Free Wheeling: $46,000 (est)
- Black Diamond: $48,000 (est)
- Outer Banks: $51,000 (est)

- 60th Anniversary: $55,000 (est)
Will the Bronco’s Engine Options Stay the Same?
Yes. Ford isn’t making any changes under the hood for the 2026 model year. The base engine remains the turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder. On regular gas, it delivers 275 horsepower and 300 lb-ft of torque, but when you switch to premium fuel, those numbers climb to 300 horses and 325 lb-ft.
Fuel economy stays about the same, too—expect 16–20 mpg in the city and 17–21 mpg on the highway. The 10-speed automatic transmission is still standard, but Ford continues to offer the seven-speed manual with the 2.3-liter. Every Bronco also sticks with four-wheel drive, keeping its off-road cred intact.
For those who want more muscle, the optional 2.7-liter V6 is still available with the 10-speed automatic. It delivers stronger performance than the four-cylinder, though it doesn’t do much to improve mileage. Ratings should remain close to 17–18 mpg city and 17–20 mpg highway.
Top Tech and Features Inside the Bronco
Step into the 2026 Bronco, and you'll find a 12-inch touchscreen that runs Ford’s Sync 4 system at the center of the dash. It supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and it gets over-the-air updates so the software stays current without a trip to the dealer. Built-in navigation is also available on many trims.
The standard seven-speaker audio system gets the job done, but higher trims and options add premium upgrades for drivers who want better sound quality.
Production for the 2026 Ford Bronco began in summer 2025, and we expect models to reach our dealership by fall. If you want to be one of the first behind the wheel, now’s the time to lock in a reservation. The Bronco may not be changing much this year, but the 60th Anniversary edition makes 2026 a milestone worth considering but don't wait too long to see it!
