Ford marks the Bronco's 60th birthday with a special anniversary edition finished in a red-and-white color scheme.

Powertrains, Performance, and Towing for the 2026 Bronco
You get two very different experiences in the Bronco's powertrains. The 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6 delivers 330 horses and pairs with a 10-speed automatic; however, if you prefer to shift yourself, the four-cylinder model still offers a seven-speed manual.
Where the Bronco really feels in its element is off-road. Its four-wheel-drive system isn't always on (you have to engage it when the trail starts and switch it back when you return to the pavement), but that's part of what makes it a legitimate off-roader.
For anyone who wants a more extreme setup, Ford offers plenty of additional hardware. You can get 35-inch mud-terrain tires, beadlock-capable wheels, locking differentials at both the front and rear, and a disconnecting front anti-roll bar that lets the suspension stretch farther when the terrain gets uneven.
The Bronco's max towing capacity is 3,500 pounds.
What Does the Bronco's Mileage Look Like for 2026?
The EPA hasn't posted mileage figures for the 2026 Bronco yet, but they're unlikely to move much from the current numbers. For 2025, a four-cylinder Bronco with an automatic transmission tops out at an estimated 18 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway. Choosing the manual drops the highway figure by a single mpg.
The six-cylinder Outer Banks trim ends up being the best around town, with a 19-mpg city estimate; its highway rating is 21 mpg. Once you add the Sasquatch package, however, its fuel economy dips firmly into the teens.
The Bronco's Interior and Tech Creature Comforts
Up front, the Bronco's cabin is noisy but spacious, with comfortable seats and durable materials that suit its open-air design. Hard plastics, rubberized floors, and available marine-grade vinyl are all meant to survive dirt, weather, and constant use. The second row is workable in both body styles--two adults fit in the back of the two-door, while the four-door adds more legroom and a third seat. Cargo space also favors the four-door, which can store all the removable doors; the two-door requires you to fold the rear seats if you want to haul them home.
The Bronco uses a 12.0-inch touchscreen with Ford's Sync 4 system, offering wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto plus over-the-air updates. Many trims include built-in navigation, and some upgrade the basic seven-speaker audio system to a higher-quality setup.
Are You Ready for the 2026 Ford Bronco?
The familiar engines, trail hardware, and open-air design are still, with a new Anniversary addition to keep things interesting. If you're waiting for the major overhaul, this isn't it--but if you want a Bronco that keeps getting a little sharper each year, 2026 hits the mark. Contact us today for more information!
