2026 Ford Bronco Heritage
2026 Ford Bronco Heritage Edition
The 2026 Ford Bronco Heritage Edition combines unmistakable old-school Bronco design with modern off-road capability. Standard Sasquatch equipment, 35-inch tires, white wheels, an Oxford White hard top, plaid cloth seats and a white grille with red FORD lettering give Heritage a personality unlike any other Bronco in the lineup.
A Modern Tribute to the Original Ford Bronco
Heritage Edition doesn't simply add a graphics package. Ford builds its retro personality into the wheels, roof, grille, interior and off-road hardware.
The 2026 Ford Bronco Heritage Edition is for buyers who want their Bronco to look unmistakably different from the rest of the lineup. Its visual inspiration comes from early Bronco models, but underneath the retro details is modern Bronco hardware designed for legitimate off-road use.
Heritage Edition includes advanced 4x4, standard Sasquatch equipment, 35-inch rugged-terrain tires, locking front and rear axles, Bilstein shocks and high-clearance suspension. It also includes the Mid Package, meaning features such as heated front seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, BLIS and Connected Navigation are already part of the package.
The 2026 model becomes even more flexible because buyers can now pair the standard 2.3L EcoBoost engine with either the 7-speed manual or available 10-speed automatic transmission. Ford also offers the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 with the automatic.

2026 Bronco Heritage Engine & Transmission Choices
One of the biggest 2026 Heritage updates is the expanded transmission choice with the 2.3L EcoBoost engine.
| Engine | Transmission | Availability | Notable Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 | 7-Speed Manual | Standard | Granny Gear, Crank-in-Gear function and Hill Descent Control. |
| 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 | 10-Speed Automatic | Optional | Trail Control, Trail Turn Assist and Trail One-Pedal Driving. |
| 2.7L EcoBoost V6 | 10-Speed Automatic | Optional | Additional V6 power while retaining the Heritage Edition's standard Sasquatch hardware. |
The available 2.7L EcoBoost V6 is automatic-only. The manual transmission is paired exclusively with the standard 2.3L EcoBoost engine.
What's New for the 2026 Bronco Heritage Edition?
One of the most meaningful changes to the 2026 Bronco Heritage Edition is transmission flexibility. Ford now allows buyers to order the standard 2.3L EcoBoost engine with the 10-speed automatic transmission.
That gives Heritage shoppers three distinct powertrain configurations: a 2.3L with the traditional manual, a 2.3L with the automatic, or the available 2.7L EcoBoost V6 with the automatic.
Ford also expanded Heritage exterior-color availability for 2026, including Marsh Gray and Oxford White.
Is Sasquatch Standard on the 2026 Bronco Heritage?
Yes. Unlike several lower Bronco trims where Sasquatch is optional, the Heritage Edition comes with Sasquatch capability built into its standard equipment.
Standard Sasquatch Hardware
- LT315/70R17 Rugged-Terrain Tires
- 35-Inch Tire Diameter
- 4.7 Final Drive Ratio
- Electronic-Locking Front Differential
- Electronic-Locking Rear Differential
- High-Clearance Suspension
- High-Clearance Fender Flares
- Position-Sensitive Bilstein Shock Absorbers
Why It Matters
Heritage buyers don't have to choose between the visual personality of a special-edition Bronco and serious trail hardware. The capability is already part of the vehicle.
That makes Heritage particularly appealing to buyers who like the nostalgic styling but still want a Bronco equipped from the factory with 35-inch tires, locking axles and high-clearance suspension.

Who Should Buy a 2026 Ford Bronco Heritage Edition?
Heritage is a particularly good fit for someone who wants a Bronco that already feels customized when it leaves the factory. Instead of starting with a conventional exterior and modifying it later, Heritage combines a highly recognizable visual identity with factory-engineered off-road hardware.
The white roof, white wheels, red FORD grille lettering and plaid interior give the Heritage Edition a connection to early Broncos that you won't get from Base, Big Bend or Outer Banks.
At the same time, buyers aren't giving up capability for looks. Advanced 4x4, Sasquatch, locking front and rear axles, Bilstein shocks and 35-inch tires are already standard.
Add the available 2.7L EcoBoost V6 and Heritage becomes an especially interesting combination of classic Bronco styling and modern turbocharged performance.
2026 Bronco Heritage vs. Outer Banks
These two trims approach the Bronco experience from very different directions.
| Feature | Heritage Edition | Outer Banks |
|---|---|---|
| Primary Focus | Retro Design + Off-Road Capability | Premium Comfort + Technology |
| Body Style | 4-Door 4x4 | 4-Door 4x4 |
| Standard Engine | 2.3L EcoBoost | 2.3L EcoBoost |
| Available 2.7L EcoBoost V6 | Yes | Yes |
| Manual Transmission | Standard | Not Available |
| Standard Sasquatch Equipment | Yes | No |
| 35-Inch Tires | Standard | With Sasquatch |
| Front & Rear Locking Axles | Standard | With Sasquatch |
| Standard Seating | Plaid Cloth | Leather-Trimmed/Vinyl |
| Standard Mid Package | Yes | Yes |
| Heated Front Seats | Standard | Standard |
| Heritage White Hard Top | Standard | No |
Choose Bronco Outer Banks if premium seating and luxury-oriented technology matter most. Choose Heritage if you want unique styling and serious off-road hardware already included from the factory.
