What Happened
Ford introduced the Bronco on August 11, 1965, and coined the term "sport-utility." Over the past six decades, the Bronco has helped redefine what an SUV can be. Now Ford is celebrating that heritage with the 2026 Bronco 60th Anniversary Package. The package blends bolder colors and cabin accents with timeless exterior visuals and the same off-road capability owners expect. It is based on the Outer Banks series, with a standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder or an optional 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6.
The anniversary Bronco is only available with the Sasquatch package, which adds an Advanced 4x4 system, high-clearance suspension, a more aggressive final drive ratio, and electronic-locking front and rear differentials. It rides on 35-inch Goodyear rugged terrain tires and unique 17-inch Gravity Gray alloy wheels with Vermilion Red center caps featuring the Bucking Bronco logo and "1966" on the outer ring, echoing the original 1966 Bronco hubcaps. A new grille inspired by the original design is finished in Warm Alloy paint with modern Vermilion Red "BRONCO" lettering. Historic Wimbledon White is available with a matching roof, or buyers can choose a Ruby Red body with a Wimbledon White roof. Vermilion Red side graphics begin with the 60th Anniversary logo, and fender badging is inspired by the Mustang 60th Anniversary package's cloisonné style.
The package brings a richer cabin experience with Ebony leather on seat outers and bolsters, plus Alpine leather inserts and embossed 60th Anniversary logos on the seatbacks. Alpine marine-grade vinyl armrests add to the premium feel, and Alpine stitching on the leather-topped dash pairs with Bronco Red accents on the instrument panel and grab handles. Ford's design team has also hidden an Easter egg or two for this special edition.
The package also includes standard wheelbase-length running boards to help with entry and exit, and it introduces new A-pillar-mounted grab handles that will be available across the 2026 Bronco lineup. At the rear, a hard-center tire cover in Wimbledon White with a Vermilion Red "BRONCO" wordmark and a matte black Ford badge on the tailgate add a premium finish. The 2026 Bronco and the 60th Anniversary Package are available now, and customers can build and price theirs at Ford.com.
Why this matters
The special edition honors the original 1965 Bronco and its legacy, giving buyers a chance to own a heritage-themed SUV with unique styling and off-road capability. It also adds features like A-pillar grab handles to the entire 2026 Bronco lineup, showing how anniversary models can refresh a vehicle family. Ford says the package is available now, so customers considering a Bronco can choose this celebratory version.
