Ford's 2026 Bronco Celebrates Sixty Years of Adventure

The Bronco's 60th Anniversary Package Debut Marks a New Era in Off-Road Adventures

Over the last sixty years, the #Ford #Bronco has transformed the SUV landscape with its exceptional capability and off-road prowess. In honor of this legacy, Ford is introducing the 2026 Bronco 60th Anniversary Package. This special edition features striking colors and accents in the interior, classic design elements on the exterior, and maintains the rugged off-road performance that Bronco enthusiasts have come to expect. It’s a celebration of a Built Wild SUV that caters to diverse lifestyles.

Capability is an integral part of Bronco's identity. The 60th Anniversary package begins with the Outer Banks series, offering a choice between a standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine or an optional 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6. This special edition is exclusively available with the Sasquatch package, which enhances the vehicle with an Advanced 4x4 system, high-clearance suspension, a more aggressive final drive ratio, and electronic-locking front and rear differentials. It also boasts 35-inch Goodyear rugged terrain tires paired with distinctive 17-inch Gravity Gray alloy wheels, featuring a striking Vermilion Red center cap adorned with a Bucking Bronco logo and the year "1966" inscribed on the outer ring, commemorating the inaugural production of the Bronco.

The wheel design, complemented by a striking Vermilion Red center cap, pays homage to the classic hubcaps of the 1966 Bronco, evoking a sense of nostalgia for automotive enthusiasts. Meanwhile, the new grille takes cues from the original aesthetic, enhanced by a contemporary Warm Alloy finish and bold Vermilion Red “BRONCO” lettering that adds a modern twist. Additionally, the iconic Wimbledon White, a color that holds historical significance for the original Bronco, is offered with a matching roof, creating a timeless look. For those seeking a bolder statement, a contrasting Ruby Red body paired with a Wimbledon White roof is also available, allowing customers to personalize their vehicles while celebrating the rich heritage of the Bronco lineage.

The body sides of the Bronco feature a striking Vermilion Red graphic that begins at the front, showcasing the Bronco 60th Anniversary logo. This eye-catching design is complemented by distinctive 60th Anniversary badging on the fenders, which draws inspiration from the classic cloisonné badges seen in the Mustang's 60th Anniversary package, clearly marking this Bronco as a unique and special edition. In true Ford fashion, the design team has cleverly incorporated a few hidden Easter eggs within this special package, adding an element of surprise for enthusiasts.

Beyond its visual appeal, the Bronco 60th Anniversary package delivers the style and rugged capability that owners have come to expect, while also elevating the interior experience. The cabin boasts a luxurious feel with Ebony leather upholstery on the seat outers and bolsters, enhanced by Alpine leather inserts and embossed 60th Anniversary logos on the seatbacks, creating a sophisticated atmosphere that reflects the vehicle's heritage and exclusivity.

The addition of Alpine marine-grade vinyl armrests enhances the overall comfort and experience within the vehicle, while the distinctive Alpine stitching on the leather-topped dashboard beautifully complements the Bronco Red accents found on the instrument panel and grab handles. Furthermore, the 60th Anniversary Package introduces standard wheelbase-length running boards, making it easier for passengers to enter and exit the vehicle. This package also features new A-pillar-mounted grab handles, which are now available across all 2026 Bronco models. At the rear, a striking hard-center tire cover in Wimbledon White, adorned with a bold Vermilion Red "BRONCO" wordmark, elevates the vehicle's aesthetic, lending a more premium appearance. Additionally, the matte black Ford badge on the tailgate further enhances the sophisticated look of the Bronco, making it a standout choice for enthusiasts and casual drivers alike.

The 2026 Bronco, along with the special 60th Anniversary Package, will be available for order starting in October, with pricing details expected to be released shortly before that time. For those interested in learning more, Ford.com will have additional information available on August 4.
