Chuck Anderson Ford | Excelsior Springs, Missouri
The 2026 Ford Bronco remains one of the most configurable and genuinely off-road-focused SUVs available. Choose from seven distinct models, three EcoBoost engines, 2-door or 4-door configurations on select trims, removable doors and tops, available Sasquatch capability and everything from a customizable Bronco Base to the 418-horsepower Bronco Raptor.
Shop 2026 Bronco Inventory View Bronco SpecsBronco shopping can get complicated quickly—and that is part of what makes the vehicle so interesting. A basic 2-door Bronco Base with a manual transmission is a very different SUV from an Outer Banks Lux, Badlands Sasquatch, Heritage Edition, Stroppe Edition or Bronco Raptor.
This page brings the important pieces together so you can understand the complete 2026 Ford Bronco lineup before digging deeper into individual models, engines, packages and off-road equipment.
Use it to compare trims, understand the three EcoBoost engines, decide whether Sasquatch makes sense, compare 2-door and 4-door Broncos and determine how much off-road capability you actually need.
Bronco is not simply a conventional SUV dressed up to look rugged. Ford builds every 2026 Bronco around a fundamentally different formula.
Four-wheel drive is standard. Removable doors and removable roof configurations let drivers open the cabin to the outdoors. G.O.A.T. Modes help adapt the vehicle to different surfaces and terrain.
From there, Ford lets buyers decide how far they want to go. Bronco can be a relatively simple manual-transmission 2-door, a comfortable Outer Banks daily driver, a trail-focused Badlands, a retro Heritage Edition, a Baja-inspired Stroppe Edition or the wide-body 418-horsepower Raptor.
That range is why two Broncos parked next to each other can look, drive and perform very differently.
The 2026 Bronco lineup includes Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, Badlands, Heritage Edition, Stroppe Edition and Raptor.
Bronco Base delivers the essentials and leaves plenty of room for customization.
Big Bend adds features and available packages that make Bronco easier to use every day while preserving its off-road personality.
Outer Banks moves Bronco in a more premium direction while keeping the removable-door, 4x4 Bronco experience intact.
Badlands is the enthusiast choice for buyers who want significant trail capability without stepping all the way to Raptor.
Heritage Edition combines recognizable classic-Bronco styling with modern EcoBoost power and advanced four-wheel-drive capability.
Stroppe Edition pays tribute to Bronco's Baja racing history with a more performance-focused configuration.
Bronco Raptor sits at the top of the lineup with a wider stance, unique suspension engineering and the most powerful Bronco engine.
Base is ideal for buyers who want authentic Bronco capability and plan to personalize the vehicle themselves.
Big Bend adds useful comfort and package options without moving too far from Bronco's practical starting point.
Outer Banks makes sense for buyers who spend more time on pavement but still want Bronco style and 4x4 capability.
Badlands is the sweet spot for serious off-road enthusiasts who do not necessarily need Raptor.
Heritage Edition combines classic Bronco visual cues with modern capability.
Raptor is the answer when maximum power, suspension capability and off-road performance matter most.
Ford offers three turbocharged EcoBoost engines across the 2026 Bronco lineup.
The 2.3L EcoBoost is the core Bronco engine and offers plenty of capability for daily driving and trail use.
It is also the engine that keeps the available 7-speed manual transmission in the Bronco lineup.
The 2.7L EcoBoost V6 gives select Bronco configurations stronger acceleration and substantially more torque.
It is paired with the 10-speed automatic transmission and is a popular choice for heavily equipped off-road Broncos.
Exclusive to Bronco Raptor, the 3.0L EcoBoost is the most powerful factory engine in the 2026 Bronco lineup.
It is paired with a 10-speed automatic and engineered to work with Raptor's specialized high-performance off-road chassis.
Body style changes more than the number of doors. It affects the Bronco's wheelbase, passenger access, cargo room and overall personality.
The 2-door has classic Bronco proportions, a shorter wheelbase and a compact footprint that can be appealing on tight trails.
The 4-door is generally the more practical choice for families, rear-seat passengers and anyone carrying substantial cargo.
Big Bend, Outer Banks, Heritage Edition, Stroppe Edition and Raptor focus on 4-door configurations, while Base and Badlands provide additional 2-door flexibility.
Sasquatch is one of the most important names to understand when shopping for a Bronco.
The package can transform the stance and capability of an otherwise more conventional Bronco by adding serious off-road hardware.
Depending on trim and configuration, Sasquatch equipment can include 35-inch tires, a 4.7 final drive ratio, electronic-locking front and rear axles, high-clearance suspension and specialized dampers.
On certain 2026 configurations, additional suspension and stabilizer disconnect equipment can further increase trail capability.
If you love the appearance of a Sasquatch Bronco but plan to spend nearly all of your time commuting, consider the tradeoffs too: larger tires and aggressive gearing can affect ride, efficiency, road noise and replacement-tire cost.
Every Bronco starts with four-wheel drive rather than offering it merely as an optional upgrade.
Ford's Goes Over Any Type of Terrain drive modes help adjust vehicle behavior for different road and trail conditions.
Available electronic-locking differentials can help keep power moving when traction becomes uneven on difficult terrain.
Sasquatch and more aggressive Bronco configurations increase clearance for rougher trail conditions.
Available front stabilizer disconnect equipment can increase wheel articulation during demanding low-speed off-road driving.
Available and standard protective hardware on more rugged configurations helps protect critical components underneath the vehicle.
The most flexible choice for serious trail users. Badlands can be configured with a manual 2.3L or automatic V6, Sasquatch hardware, lockers and additional suspension equipment.
A more specialized Baja-inspired Bronco built around the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 and higher-speed off-road personality.
The extreme end of the lineup with 418 horsepower, wide-body engineering and specialized hardware designed for high-performance off-road driving.
Most properly equipped 2026 Bronco configurations have a maximum trailer tow rating of up to approximately 3,500 pounds.
Bronco Raptor can tow up to 4,500 pounds when properly equipped.
That gives Bronco useful capability for smaller campers, recreational trailers, utility trailers, motorcycles, ATVs and certain smaller boats.
Bronco should not be chosen as a substitute for a full-size Ford SUV or pickup when heavy towing is the primary mission.
Always verify the specific vehicle's tow rating, hitch equipment, payload limit and trailer setup before towing.
The Bronco may look purpose-built for dirt, but modern 2026 models can include substantial comfort, connectivity and driver-assistance technology.
Bronco's large center display provides access to SYNC technology, navigation, vehicle settings and available camera views.
Wireless smartphone integration and Ford's connected infotainment technology help make Bronco practical for everyday use.
Available 360-degree camera technology is useful both in parking lots and when positioning the vehicle around trail obstacles.
Available on higher equipment packages to make longer highway trips more comfortable.
Available Bang & Olufsen audio gives premium Bronco configurations a more refined cabin experience.
Available 400-watt power capability can help operate small devices and equipment while camping, tailgating or working outside.
Bronco's removable doors and roof are more than styling details. They fundamentally change the ownership experience.
Ford positions the side mirrors on the cowl rather than attaching them to the doors, helping preserve rearward visibility when the doors are removed.
Depending on body style and configuration, Bronco can be equipped with removable hard-top or soft-top solutions.
For Missouri owners, that means the same vehicle can be enclosed during winter and opened up when spring and summer weather arrives.
Start with Big Bend or Outer Banks. You can retain genuine Bronco capability while emphasizing comfort, technology and road manners.
Big Bend with the right off-road package or a moderately equipped Badlands can provide a strong middle ground.
Badlands with Sasquatch and appropriate suspension hardware should be high on the list.
Focus on 2.3L EcoBoost configurations that retain Ford's 7-speed manual transmission with crawler gear.
Heritage Edition provides distinctive retro details without giving up modern technology and 4x4 capability.
Raptor is the 418-horsepower answer when price, width and aggressive off-road hardware are secondary to maximum performance.

| Stroppe Edition | 2.7L EcoBoost V6 | 4-Door | Baja-Inspired | Performance trail driving |

Bronco makes particular sense in northwest Missouri because it can deal with environments that change quickly.
One day can involve normal commuting into Kansas City. Another can involve gravel roads, a trip to Smithville Lake, camping near Watkins Mill or winter conditions around Excelsior Springs, Liberty, Kearney and Lawson.
Standard four-wheel drive and available Sasquatch equipment give Bronco genuine capability for those conditions without requiring owners to give up modern connectivity and everyday comfort.

Two Broncos carrying the same trim badge can have very different engines, transmissions, axle ratios, tire sizes, suspension systems, locking differentials, comfort packages and technology.
