2026 Ford Bronco Trims Comparison

The Big Bend is the sweet spot for buyers who want genuine capability without crossing into specialty-trim pricing. It builds on the base model with meaningful upgrades that make it a smarter daily driver and a more capable trail rig.

Standard features include:

• 17-inch aluminum wheels
• 12-inch touchscreen with Ford SYNC 4
• Heated front seats
• Leather-wrapped steering wheel
• Terrain management with selectable drive modes
• Ford's G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) system, with Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, Sand, Mud/Ruts, and Rock Crawl modes

Engine options:

• 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder (300 horsepower), available with a 7-speed manual including a crawl gear
• 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 (330 horsepower)
• Both engines pair with a 10-speed automatic

The Big Bend is a strong choice for mixed on-road and off-road use. It's also a practical primary vehicle for families who want adventure-ready versatility without a premium price tag.

The Heritage Edition takes you back in time with design cues inspired by classic Bronco models of decades past. It shares its 2.3L EcoBoost engine with Big Bend, so the mechanical foundation is familiar, what sets this trim apart is everything you see and feel.

Standout features include:

• White-painted hard top and white-painted grille with red "FORD" lettering
• Heritage Bodyside Graphic
• Plaid cloth seating and a white-accented dashboard, straight out of the 1960s
• Unique Heritage Style floor liners for easy cleanup after a day outdoors
• HOSS 2.0 suspension system with Bilstein position-sensitive dampers and a high-clearance ride height
• A curated selection of five '60s-inspired retro color options, exclusive to this trim

If the classic look speaks to you and you still want genuine off-road-tuned suspension underneath it, Heritage Edition delivers both.

The Badlands is where the 2026 Bronco gets serious. Built for buyers who spend real time off-pavement, this trim includes factory hardware that most competitors charge heavily for as options or don't offer at all.

Standard Badlands features include:

• Front and rear locking differentials
• Front sway bar disconnect system
• Bilstein position-sensitive dampers
• 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels
• High-clearance suspension with increased approach, departure, and breakover angles
• Reinforced bash plates and skid plates
• 35-inch all-terrain tires (included on specific configurations with Sasquatch)

The Badlands handles rock crawling, deep mud, and steep grades with equipment that's genuinely up to the task. Inside, you're not roughing it either. The trim includes the 12-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen, heated seats, wireless charging, and enough refinement to make it a comfortable daily driver.

New for 2026, the Stroppe Edition replaces the outgoing Wildtrak and pays tribute to Bill Stroppe, the legendary Baja racer behind Ford's off-road racing heritage in the 1960s and 70s. It's the only Bronco below Raptor with a standard step up in power, built to bring you closer to Raptor-level capability without stepping on the flagship's toes.

Key features include:

• Standard 2.7L EcoBoost V6, producing 330 hp and 415 lb-ft of torque, the only engine offered on this trim, paired exclusively with a 10-speed automatic
• HOSS 3.0 suspension system with FOX Internal Bypass dampers, tuned to soak up high-speed bumps
• 17-inch Matte Black-painted alloy wheels with Gloss Black trim rings, exclusive to this trim
• A distinctive tri-color graphics package (Oxford White, Code Orange, and Atlas Blue) with a matte-black hood to cut glare
• Code Orange interior stitching and unique Stroppe badging throughout the cabin
• Advanced 4x4 with seven G.O.A.T. Modes, standard

For 2026, Stroppe Edition is four-door only, the two-door body style offered in 2025 has been dropped. MSRP starts at $69,995, not including destination freight charges.

The Raptor sits at the top of the lineup, Ford's answer for buyers who want factory-built, high-speed desert performance with nothing left to upgrade aftermarket. Enthusiasts often call it the "Braptor," and once you see the spec sheet, it's easy to understand why.

Raptor-exclusive highlights include:

• 3.0L EcoBoost V6 producing 418 horsepower and 440 lb-ft of torque
• 37-inch off-road tires, the largest in the Bronco lineup
• Advanced 4x4 with Automatic On-Demand Engagement and a 10-speed automatic
• Trail One-Pedal Drive for low-speed stability over technical terrain
• Raptor-exclusive Performance View display, monitoring critical drive data right from the dash
• Standard marine-grade vinyl upholstery with rubberized washout flooring, or available leather-trimmed seats for buyers who want comfort alongside capability
• SYNC 4 with a 12-inch touchscreen, standard
• Exclusive graphics, body panels, and Code Orange accents throughout the cabin

If your weekends genuinely involve high-speed off-road running rather than technical crawling, Raptor is purpose-built for exactly that.
