2026 Ford Bronco 60th Anniversary Package channels 1966 style with modern Sasquatch hardware
Ford is marking six decades of Bronco history with a limited-run 60th Anniversary Package for the 2026 model year. Rather than rework the powertrain or chassis, the Blue Oval leans into heritage-inspired details—both outside and inside—while baking the popular Sasquatch off-road kit into every example. Here’s a closer look at what separates this commemorative Outer Banks-based model from the rest of the herd.
Retro cues meet current Bronco proportions
The 60th Anniversary Package is available only on the four-door Bronco Outer Banks and only when optioned with the Sasquatch bundle. That means each truck rides on 35-inch Goodyear Territory rugged-terrain tires, a 4.7:1 final drive, and electronically locking Dana axles front and rear. Unique 17-inch Gravity Gray alloy wheels hide beadlock-ready rims behind a nostalgic Vermilion Red center cap stamped with “1966” and the bucking-horse logo—a nod to the original hubcaps seen on first-gen Broncos.
A redesigned grille finished in Warm Alloy paint carries Vermilion Red block letters, instantly separating the Anniversary model from other 2026 Broncos that continue with white, gray, or body-color text. Buyers can choose Wimbledon White or Ruby Red bodywork; either can be paired with a contrasting Wimbledon White modular hardtop. A thin red side stripe kicks off with a stylized “60” emblem up front, and a Wimbledon White spare-tire cover with matching red script cleans up the tailgate.
Interior trim steps up a notch
The regular Outer Banks already delivers one of the nicer Bronco cabins, but the 60th Anniversary truck adds upholstery and trim you won’t find on the option sheet. Ebony leather bolsters wrap Alpine leather inserts, while the seatbacks wear an embossed 60th Anniversary crest. Alpine-grade vinyl now appears on the armrests for extra durability when the doors come off, and the dash gains contrasting Alpine stitching plus Bronco Red accents around the grab handles and infotainment surround.
Ford also bolts in new A-pillar-mounted grab handles, a feature that will spread across the 2026 Bronco lineup. Standard wheelbase-length running boards replace the rock rails found on Sasquatch-equipped trim levels, trading maximum break-over clearance for easier entry. As with other 2025-up Broncos, occupants still face a 12-inch digital gauge cluster and a 12-speaker B&O audio system.
Powertrains carry over—by design
No surprises under the hood. Buyers can stick with the 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline-four (300 hp, 325 lb-ft) or move up to the 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6 (330 hp, 415 lb-ft). A seven-speed manual remains exclusive to the smaller engine, while the 10-speed automatic is available across the board. With the 2.7-liter and Sasquatch gear, the Bronco Outer Banks typically scoots to 60 mph in the mid-six-second range—plenty brisk for an SUV with the aerodynamics of a cinder block.
High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension (HOSS) 3.0 remains limited to Badlands, Everglades, and Raptor variants, so the Anniversary model sticks with the Sasquatch’s conventional Bilstein position-sensitive dampers. That said, approach, departure, and break-over angles are unchanged from a standard Sasquatch Outer Banks, and 4LO still pairs with seven G.O.A.T. drive modes displayed on the digital cluster.
Pricing and availability
Ford has not released formal pricing, but insiders expect the 60th Anniversary Package to slot above the 2025 Outer Banks Sasquatch’s roughly $58,000 starting point. Production will be limited, although Ford declined to share allocation numbers. Order banks are slated to open alongside the broader 2026 Bronco lineup late next summer, with deliveries starting in early 2026.
The 60th Anniversary truck will share showrooms with returning special editions such as the technicolor Free Wheeling and two-door Stroppe Special Edition—both introduced for 2025—and, of course, the fire-breathing 418-horsepower Bronco Raptor.
Worth the birthday price premium?
The 2026 Ford Bronco 60th Anniversary Package delivers genuine design touches that should resonate with longtime Bronco fans without sacrificing the real-world off-road chops that define the nameplate. Still, shoppers looking for deeper mechanical upgrades or fresh technology may wonder why the milestone edition doesn’t push the envelope beyond cosmetics and upholstery. Either way, the red-on-white (or white-on-red) aesthetic brings a dose of 1966 personality to a modern 4×4 that remains one of the market’s most capable everyday SUVs.
