  • Ford has announced a handful of mid-year updates for the 2026 Bronco.
  • The Wildtrak returns as an $11,945 package that includes a 330 hp V6.

2027 models are already arriving at dealerships, but that hasn’t stopped Ford from announcing a handful of updates to the 2026 Bronco. The most notable development is the return of the Wildtrak, but this time it’s a package instead of a trim.

Offered exclusively on the four-door Bronco Badlands, the $11,945 Wildtrak Package adds the Black Appearance Package as well as the Sasquatch Off-Road Package. The former typically costs $600 and includes a black grille with white “Bronco” lettering as well as black mirrors and door handles. The package also includes a Shadow Black hardtop.

The $6,345 Sasquatch Package needs no introduction, but it adds electronic locking differentials, a front stabilizer disconnect, high clearance fender flares, and a HOSS 3.0 suspension with FOX internal bypass dampers. They’re joined by a more advanced four-wheel drive system as well as 17-inch black wheels wrapped in 35-inch tires.

On top of that, the Wildtrak includes a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 that typically costs $2,995. It produces up to 330 hp (246 kW / 335 PS) and 415 lb-ft (562 Nm) of torque, and is connected to a ten-speed automatic transmission.
