2026 Ford Bronco Model Review with Prices, Photos, & Specs

The Ford Bronco is an absolute icon of the off-roading world, one that has evolved over the years into something its competitors simply can’t keep up with. Some of this comes from the huge range of customization options that let you outfit your Bronco for exactly what you need. In fact, there are both two-door and four-door body styles, seven different trim levels, three engines, and the Bronco is one of the few vehicles still available with a manual transmission. The body-on-frame construction of the Ford Bronco makes it tough, an absolute must for a serious off-roader, as is the best-in-class available 11.6 inches of ground clearance. Add to that a highly advanced 4X4 system with features like Trail Control™ and six different off-road modes, and it’s clear why the Bronco outperforms the competition on the trails. The Ford Bronco has plenty of creature comforts to go with all of this like the available dual-zone automatic climate control and the powerful SYNC® 4 infotainment system complete with a standard 12-inch touchscreen.

In keeping with tradition, the Ford Bronco remains synonymous with exceptional off-road prowess made possible by rugged engineering. Drivers can choose from the robust four-cylinder torque from the 2.3L EcoBoost® 4-cylinder or muscular 2.7-literEcoBoost® V6, each offering their own unique experience. Its segment-first 7-speed (6+1) manual transmission can be paired with the available advanced 4x4 system with automatic on-demand engagement, perfect for maximum low-speed rock-crawling control. An available 10-speed automatic transmission delivers even more responsiveness both on and off the road. Topping the Bronco model range is the purpose-built 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 that produces 418 horsepower for the Bronco Raptor.

All Bronco variants come standard with an independent front suspension for superior control and a durable solid axle design featuring coil springs with five locating links at the rear. There are also two distinct 4X4 systems for you to choose from. These include a two-speed electronic shift-on-the-fly transfer case and the advanced system which features a two-speed electromechanical transfer case with auto mode. The exclusive Terrain Management System™ with G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Terrain) Modes™ is standing by to help drivers better navigate any type of off-road situation.

Balancing supportive comfort and trail-ready ergonomics, the cabin of the Ford Bronco is purpose-built and ready for adventure. No matter how messy your endeavors get, optional washable rubberized floors with integrated drains and marine-grade vinyl seating surfaces make cleanup effortless. Interior color choices were inspired by both natural palettes and outdoor gear. True to its history, the dashboard of the Bronco features gauges and controls which are both prominently visible and intuitive to use. For maximum connectivity, you can access your favorite multimedia features via a standard 12-inch SYNC® 4 system. This system works intuitively with the FordPass Performance app which allows Bronco owners to easily plan, navigate, and share their off-road adventures with over 1,000 curated trail maps. Another exclusive feature offered inside the Bronco are attachment points integrated directly into the instrument panel for easily mounting 12-volt power devices such as cameras, navigation units, phones, or other devices.
