The 2026 Ford Bronco is one of those SUVs where the interesting stuff is visible before you even start the engine. The doors come off. The roof can come off. There are 2-door and 4-door configurations, serious 4x4 hardware, and enough suspension and powertrain variation to make one Bronco behave very differently from another. That's the key for Davenport, IA drivers: the lineup doesn't force everyone into the same definition of an off-road SUV. Start With the Body and Build from There The 2026 lineup includes Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, Badlands, Stroppe Edition, Heritage Edition, and Raptor, with 2-door and 4-door configurations available depending on model. Removable doors and roof options aren't merely styling exercises; they fundamentally change the experience when conditions allow open-air driving. Ford includes a tool kit for removing the doors and tops, which is a small detail but an important one. Bronco was engineered around this transformation instead of having the feature added as an afterthought. Three Turbo Engines Create Three Levels of Performance The standard 2.3L EcoBoost 4-cylinder produces 300 hp and 325 lbs. ft. of torque, already a healthy output for trail work and road driving. The available 2.7L EcoBoost V6 raises that to 330 hp and 415 lbs. ft. of torque. Raptor gets its own 3.0L EcoBoost V6 with 418 hp and 440 lbs. ft. of torque. Depending on engine and model, a 10-speed automatic transmission is offered, while select 2.3L configurations can be equipped with a 7-speed manual. That manual deserves attention because genuine transmission choice has become increasingly rare in modern SUVs. G.O.A.T. Modes Change with the Mission Every Bronco includes 4x4 and a Terrain Management System™ with G.O.A.T. Modes. Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, and Heritage Edition provide Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, and Sand modes. Badlands, Stroppe Edition, and Raptor expand the selection to 7 with Normal, Eco, Slippery, Off-Road, Sport, Rock Crawl, and Baja. Drive modes alone don't make an off-road vehicle, of course, which is why the hardware surrounding them is important. Raptor provides a particularly extreme example with HOSS 4.0 suspension and FOX™ Live Valve 3.1 Internal Bypass semi-active dampers. Wheel travel reaches 13 inches up front and 14 inches at the rear. Towing Capability Depends on Which Bronco You Choose Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, Badlands, Stroppe Edition, and Heritage Edition configurations can provide up to 3,500 lbs. of towing capacity when properly equipped. Raptor increases that figure to 4,500 lbs. Vehicle configuration, passengers, cargo, accessories, and towing equipment all influence final capability, so buyers planning to pull a trailer should check the specifications of the exact Bronco they're considering instead of treating the maximum figure as universal. The Cabin Technology Doesn't Start Small A 12-inch SYNC® 4 center touchscreen is standard across the 2026 Bronco lineup, with wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility. The available Ford Connectivity Package adds connected services including Wi-Fi hotspot capability and connected navigation, while Ford Co-Pilot360® technologies provide available driver-assistance features for pavement driving. It's a modern technology package inside an SUV that can still be ordered with a manual gearbox and dismantled with hand tools, which is an unusual combination. Service Can Come to the Bronco Ownership support extends beyond the dealership through Ford Mobile Service and Ford Pickup & Delivery at participating locations.
