The 2026 Ford Bronco arrives with its most significant update since relaunch: the two-door model has been discontinued, making the four-door the only available body style, alongside a redesigned front end with full-width LED lighting, a new 12-inch SYNC 5 infotainment system, and a new 60th Anniversary Package exclusive to the Outer Banks trim. TrueCar’s transaction data from 70 recent sales shows buyers averaging 3.4 percent below MSRP, with the base model averaging $41,341 against its $42,790 sticker. KBB’s Fair Purchase Price confirms discounts across the full lineup: base at $40,700 against $42,490 MSRP, Big Bend at $41,100 against $42,990, Badlands at $51,300 against $53,620, and Raptor at $78,500 against $81,990. KBB’s 54 verified owner reviews give the Bronco a 4.7 out of 5 rating with 93 percent recommending it, among the highest owner satisfaction scores in this guide series. The 2026 Bronco spans six trim levels from $42,490 to $81,990 with the $2,095 destination charge, all with standard 4×4 and Ford’s G.O.A.T. Modes terrain management.

KBB confirms the full 2026 Bronco lineup with destination: Base at $42,490, Big Bend at $42,990, Heritage Edition at $50,085, Outer Banks at $50,885, Badlands at $53,620, Wildtrak at $71,990, and Raptor at $81,990. All 2026 Broncos are four-door following the discontinuation of the two-door configuration. Four-wheel drive with low-range transfer case is standard on every trim. The Bronco competes against the Jeep Wrangler (covered separately in this guide series) and the Toyota 4Runner. Our Insider Access to Dealer Pricing tool puts real competing local dealer quotes in front of you before you ever step onto any lot.
The invoice price is what a Ford dealer paid Ford Motor Company for the vehicle on their lot, sitting below the MSRP by a margin the dealer has no reason to share. On the 2026 Bronco, the gap between MSRP and dealer invoice typically runs approximately $1,300 to $2,500 depending on trim, with the wider dollar spread on Wildtrak and Raptor given their higher price points. The invoice figure is your negotiating anchor, not the window sticker.
Ford’s dealer holdback adds roughly 2 to 3 percent of base MSRP back to the dealer after each vehicle sells, which on a $53,620 Badlands represents approximately $1,072 to $1,609 in additional margin beneath the invoice figure. TrueCar’s 3.4 percent discount across 70 recent transactions confirms real savings are achievable across the lineup. KBB’s Fair Purchase Pricing adds transaction-level confidence: $40,700 on the Base, $41,100 on the Big Bend, $47,900 on the Heritage Edition, $48,700 on the Outer Banks, $51,300 on the Badlands, $68,900 on the Wildtrak, and $78,500 on the Raptor. Getting competing quotes from multiple local Ford dealers consistently produces better outcomes than accepting any first offer.
The 2026 Bronco’s changes are the most significant since the model’s relaunch. The two-door body style has been discontinued entirely, making the four-door the only available configuration. The front fascia is redesigned with full-width LED lighting that gives the 2026 a more modern and distinctive appearance than the previous generation’s separate headlight units. The interior gains a 12-inch SYNC 5 touchscreen across the lineup, an upgrade from the SYNC 4 system on prior models. The 60th Anniversary Package at $5,995 is new exclusively for the Outer Banks trim, adding unique exterior styling and leather seats with cashmere inserts to celebrate the Bronco nameplate’s 60th year. New exterior colors include Avalanche Gray available on most trims and Wimbledon White exclusive to the 60th Anniversary Edition. Robin’s Egg Blue joins the palette on select trims.
Buyers who specifically wanted the two-door Bronco’s shorter wheelbase, lighter weight, and classic silhouette should know that configuration is no longer available new and would require searching used 2021 through 2025 inventory. The 2026 four-door is the only new-vehicle option.
The engine choice meaningfully affects both performance and price on the Bronco lineup, and making that decision before comparing trim prices prevents mismatched comparisons.
The 2.3-liter EcoBoost turbocharged four-cylinder produces 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque and is standard on the Base, Big Bend, Heritage Edition, and Badlands trims. It is also available on the Outer Banks. This engine delivers genuine trail capability and more than adequate everyday performance, and it is available with either a seven-speed manual or a ten-speed automatic depending on trim.
The 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 produces 330 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque on premium fuel and is standard on the Outer Banks and available on select other trims. For buyers who want meaningfully stronger torque for rock crawling and heavy trail use, the 2.7-liter’s 90 additional lb-ft over the four-cylinder is a real-world advantage on steep grades and in technical off-road situations.
The 3.0-liter EcoBoost High Output V6 produces 418 horsepower and is exclusive to the Bronco Raptor. It is not available on any other trim level.
The Sasquatch Package is available on most Bronco trim levels and deserves its own section because it changes the vehicle’s capability more fundamentally than any other single option. The Sasquatch Package adds 35-inch Goodyear all-terrain tires on 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, electronic-locking front and rear axles, a high-clearance suspension with additional lift, and larger front and rear stabilizer bars. For buyers who specifically intend to use the Bronco on technical trails, rock gardens, or demanding off-road terrain, the Sasquatch Package delivers capability that the standard Bronco’s 32-inch tires and non-locking axles cannot match. For buyers whose primary use is daily driving and occasional mild trails, the standard setup with 32-inch all-terrain tires covers the use case at a lower price. Deciding whether Sasquatch is appropriate before comparing trim prices ensures you are comparing equivalent capability rather than mixing standard and Sasquatch-equipped configurations.
The six Bronco trims organize naturally into two groups based on buyer purpose.
The everyday and trail group (Base, Big Bend, Heritage Edition) serves buyers who want the Bronco’s iconic character for daily driving and recreational trail use at the most accessible prices. The Base at $42,490 delivers 4×4 with low-range, the new 12-inch SYNC 5, G.O.A.T. Modes, and the 300-horsepower 2.3-liter as standard. The Big Bend at $42,990 adds body-color fender flares, a soft top, and trail features over the Base for only $500 more. The Heritage Edition at $50,085 brings throwback styling with two-tone paint, unique badging, exclusive interior details, and vintage-inspired design elements that celebrate the original Bronco’s aesthetic without the performance focus of the Badlands or Raptor.
The performance and premium group (Outer Banks, Badlands, Wildtrak, Raptor) serves buyers who want enhanced off-road hardware, the 2.7-liter V6, or the Raptor’s maximum performance.
Outer Banks ($50,885)
The Outer Banks is the first trim exclusively equipped with the ten-speed automatic, and the 2.7-liter V6 is available here alongside the 2.3-liter. Standard equipment adds 18-inch wheels with 32-inch all-terrain tires, all features from the Big Bend’s optional Mid package, leather-wrapped seating, and a more refined interior presentation. The optional Lux Package at $2,825 adds a 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, a 12-speaker Bang and Olufsen audio system, and wireless charging. The new 60th Anniversary Package at $5,995 is exclusively available at this trim, adding unique exterior styling, Wimbledon White paint, and leather seats with cashmere inserts for buyers who want the heritage-inspired look in a premium configuration. KBB confirms the Outer Banks at $48,700 Fair Purchase Price against its $50,885 MSRP.
Badlands ($53,620)
The Badlands is the dedicated off-road performance trim below the Raptor, adding Bilstein position-sensitive monotube dampers, front and rear electronic-locking axles, underbody rock rails, bash plates, and high-clearance fender flares as standard. The 2.3-liter is standard with the 2.7-liter available. Sasquatch Package is available. For buyers whose primary Bronco use involves serious trail driving rather than pavement and light trails, the Badlands’ factory off-road hardware delivers genuine capability at a meaningful savings over the Wildtrak and Raptor. KBB confirms the Badlands at $51,300 Fair Purchase Price against its $53,620 MSRP.
Wildtrak ($71,990)
The Wildtrak steps significantly above the Badlands with additional premium content and capability. KBB confirms the Wildtrak at $68,900 Fair Purchase Price against its $71,990 MSRP.
Raptor ($81,990)
The Bronco Raptor is the maximum-performance off-road configuration, delivering 418 horsepower from the exclusive 3.0-liter High Output V6, Fox Racing Live Valve Internal Bypass shocks, 37-inch tires, a widened body, and the most complete off-road engineering available from Ford on any SUV. KBB confirms the Raptor at $78,500 Fair Purchase Price against its $81,990 MSRP, a $3,490 documented discount. For buyers whose priority is the most capable factory off-road Bronco available, the Raptor is the purpose-built answer at its confirmed price.
Manufacturer incentives on the Bronco stack on top of any negotiated price reduction below MSRP, and Ford Credit regularly offers promotional APR financing for well-qualified buyers. Ford maintains military appreciation pricing for active duty and veteran buyers, college graduate pricing for recent graduates, and first responder discounts. The Bronco carries Ford’s standard 3-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain coverage. Getting a competitive local dealer quote through our Insider Access to Dealer Pricing tool gives you the most accurate picture of your real out-the-door cost before committing to anything.
Based on TrueCar’s 3.4 percent average discount across 70 recent transactions and KBB Fair Purchase Pricing confirmed across all six trim levels, here is what a strong negotiated outcome looks like. On the Base at $42,490, targeting $40,500 to $41,500 is achievable with competing quotes, consistent with KBB’s $40,700 Fair Purchase Price. On the Big Bend at $42,990, targeting $41,000 to $42,000 is realistic. On the Heritage Edition at $50,085, targeting $47,500 to $49,000 reflects competitive pricing, consistent with KBB’s $47,900. On the Outer Banks at $50,885, targeting $48,000 to $49,500 is achievable, consistent with KBB’s $48,700. On the Badlands at $53,620, targeting $50,800 to $52,500 reflects what prepared buyers are achieving, consistent with KBB’s $51,300. On the Wildtrak at $71,990, targeting $68,000 to $70,500 is achievable. On the Raptor at $81,990, targeting $77,500 to $80,000 reflects the KBB Fair Purchase Price of $78,500.
These benchmarks assume you have decided on engine choice and the Sasquatch Package before comparing trim prices, confirmed whether the 60th Anniversary Package is a priority on the Outer Banks, gathered competing quotes from multiple local Ford dealers, and kept the trade-in conversation completely separate from the new vehicle price negotiation.
