Key Features of the 2026 Ford Bronco

G.O.A.T. Modes®

Bronco® gives you up to seven G.O.A.T. Modes®—Goes Over Any Type of Terrain—so the SUV can adapt to changing surfaces at the turn of a dial. These modes fine-tune throttle, shift mapping, stability, traction control, and available 4x4 engagement to support everything from deep sand to slippery pavement. On technical routes, dialing into the right mode maximizes control and confidence, letting you focus on lines and wheel placement rather than constantly modulating inputs. Combined with available locking differentials, aggressive off-road tires, and a low crawler gear on manual-equipped models, Bronco® makes trail driving feel intuitive and controlled. Whether you’re easing over roots or powering through a soft dune face, G.O.A.T. Modes® help the Bronco® behave like multiple vehicles in one, which is exactly what you want when weather or terrain changes without warning.

HOSS (High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension) Systems

The available HOSS Systems are purpose-engineered for high-speed desert running, rock-strewn tracks, and sudden transitions. Across the lineup, you’ll find calibrations designed to keep tires planted and body motions settled. Step up to the HOSS 3.0 with FOX™ Internal Bypass Dampers for even more control over repeated hits and undulating landscapes, or go all the way to HOSS 4.0 with FOX™ Live Valve 3.1 Internal Bypass Semi-Active Dampers on Bronco Raptor® for race-inspired composure. The effect is tangible: steering feels more precise off-road, the chassis remains calm over chatter, and the suspension keeps working—corner after corner, mile after mile—so you have the bandwidth to place the vehicle exactly where it needs to be.

EcoBoost® Engine Lineup

Choose your power to match your mission. The standard 300 hp 2.3L EcoBoost® I-4 brings robust low-end torque that’s perfect for technical obstacles and daily commuting alike. The available 330 hp 2.7L EcoBoost® V6 ups the ante with effortless highway passing and confident towing. For the pinnacle of desert-bred performance, Bronco Raptor® delivers 418 hp from its 3.0L EcoBoost® V6, turning wide-open terrain into a playground. Pair your engine with either a 7-speed manual or 10-speed automatic, then add the hardware that fits your goals, like the Sasquatch® Package with tall tires and advanced driveline components. With this spread of powertrains, you can build a Bronco® that feels purposeful every day, yet always ready to head for the trailhead after work.

Removable Doors

Few experiences capture the spirit of Bronco® like removing the doors and feeling the open air as you navigate a coastline road or summit trail. Ford engineered this open-air freedom with real-world usability in mind. Class-exclusive cowl-mounted side-view mirrors stay put even when the doors are off, preserving visibility where you need it most. The process is thoughtfully designed, and handy storage bags help protect the doors when you’re parked or back at home. Pair your door-off setup with roof choices and new roof color combinations to make your Bronco® look and feel exactly how you envisioned—classic, bold, or stealthy. This is a vehicle that encourages spontaneity without compromising on practical details.

Trail Tech

Bronco® stacks the deck in your favor when trails get tight or conditions get unpredictable. Trail Turn Assist can help pivot the vehicle around sharp bends by applying braking force to the inside rear wheel, effectively tightening your line. Trail Control acts like low-speed cruise control for off-road, managing throttle and braking so you can concentrate on steering and scanning for obstacles. Add the available 360-Degree Camera, and you’ll appreciate front and side perspectives that reveal rocks and ruts otherwise hidden from the driver’s seat. Together, these technologies support confident exploration, reduce fatigue on long trail days, and bring an extra measure of safety and precision to off-road driving.
