Performance & Capability

Under the hood, the 2026 Ford Bronco Big Bend is powered by the EcoBoost 2.3L I-4 gasoline direct injection engine, featuring a DOHC, Ti-VCT variable valve control, and an intercooled turbo. This powerplant delivers a robust 275HP, providing the necessary muscle for both highway merging and off-pavement excursions. Mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission with overdrive and electronic control, the power delivery is smooth and efficient, achieving an EPA-estimated 18 city / 22 hwy MPG.

The Four Wheel Drive system is a part-time 4WD setup, complemented by an Electronic transfer case shift and Two-Speed Transfer Case. For those who venture off the beaten path in the surrounding area, the HOSS 1.0 off-road ride suspension utilizes an independent front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension with a rigid axle to soak up imperfections. The Terrain Management System allows you to select specific drivetrain modes to match the surface beneath your tires, while Trail Control acts as an off-road speed control, letting you focus on steering through challenging sections.

Technology & Connectivity

Staying connected while exploring the surrounding area is effortless thanks to the SYNC 4 system. The interior features a 12 inch primary display with a responsive touchscreen, paired with a 12.00-inch full gauge cluster screen that provides clear, digital instrumentation. With Smart device integration, you can enjoy Apple CarPlay and Android Auto wireless mirroring, allowing your favorite apps and maps to transition seamlessly from your phone to the vehicle.

The Ford Connectivity Package ensures you stay linked to digital services, while the Ford Connect mobile hotspot provides internet access for your passengers. For charging and data, there are 4 USB ports conveniently located throughout the cabin. Audio is delivered through a 7-speaker system with SiriusXM with 360L and Bluetooth wireless audio streaming, all of which can be managed via Steering wheel mounted audio controls or SYNC 4 voice activated audio controls.

Comfort & Interior

Inside the 2026 Ford Bronco Big Bend, you will find a functional and durable cabin featuring CLOTH GRAY/BLACK SEATS. The Front Bucket Seats offer 6-way manual directional controls for both the driver and passenger, ensuring a comfortable position for long drives through the surrounding area. The rear features 60-40 folding rear seats that can also manually recline, providing flexibility for passengers or additional gear.

Practicality is at the forefront with Locking floor console storage, Cargo area tie downs, and Concealed cargo storage to keep your valuables secure. The Leather and metal-look steering wheel adds a touch of refinement to the rugged interior, while Manual climate control and Rear under seat climate control ducts keep the environment pleasant for all five occupants. Additional conveniences include Remote keyless entry, Push-button start, and Power windows with one-touch up and down functionality for the first row.

Safety & Driver Assistance

Safety is a paramount consideration for any driver in the surrounding area, and the 2026 Ford Bronco Big Bend comes equipped with a comprehensive suite of protective features. The Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection acts as a forward collision warning system, while the Post Collision Braking system helps prevent secondary impacts. The vehicle is protected by a total of 6 airbags, including the Safety Canopy System with curtain overhead airbags for both rows.

Maneuvering in tight spaces is made easier with the Rear mounted camera, and the 4-Wheel Disc Brakes with a 4-channel ABS system provide confident stopping power. For those with younger passengers, the Manual rear child safety door locks and Rear seat check warning offer peace of mind. The MyKey restricted driving mode allows for set parameters when others are behind the wheel, ensuring that safety remains the top priority regardless of the driver.

Exterior & Design

The exterior of this Bronco is finished in a striking AVALANCHE GRAY, a monotone paint that perfectly complements the Black grille and Black fender flares. It sits on 17-inch Carbonized Gray-Painted Aluminum wheels wrapped in P255/75SR17 AT BSW tires, with a Full-size spare tire mounted prominently on the Swing-out rear cargo door.

The Manual convertible soft top allows you to quickly embrace the fresh air of the surrounding area, while LED low and high beam headlights and LED daytime running lights provide excellent visibility. Functional elements such as 2 front tow hooks, a Rear tow hook, and Active grille shutters highlight the vehicle's utilitarian roots.
