The 2026 model year

Overview

Ford's April 2026 order guide lists Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, Badlands, Stroppe Edition, Raptor, and Heritage Edition, with two- and four-door bodies, three engines, and two transmission types across the range. A later production update returned Wildtrak as a package on four-door Badlands rather than as a separate series.

Year over year

What changed

  • The Stroppe Edition changed to a standard four-door body and dropped its two-door offering.
  • Heritage Edition gained availability of the 10-speed automatic with the 2.3-liter engine.
  • For Broncos assembled on or after March 23, 2026, Wildtrak returned as a package restricted to four-door Badlands, combining the 2.7-liter V6, 10-speed automatic, Sasquatch Package, and HOSS 3.0 suspension.
  • Ford introduced a 60th Anniversary Package with Wimbledon White availability while keeping it a package rather than a standalone powertrain model.

Worth knowing

Notable

  • Ford's order guide describes the 2026 Bronco as offering three engines and two transmission options across the model range.
  • The returning Wildtrak name became a Badlands equipment group, a material taxonomy change from earlier standalone Wildtrak series.

Living with it

Reliability & ownership notes

  • Build date matters for the midyear Wildtrak Package; verify the certification label and original window sticker before selecting package-specific chassis or appearance parts.
  • Do not treat Wildtrak as a separate 2026 series in fitment data, and continue to match parts to the installed engine, transmission, body, series, and VIN.

Maintenance & service parts
