The Ford Bronco has earned its reputation the hard way, by actually going places other SUVs would politely decline. The 2026 Bronco Badlands in Shadow Black takes that legacy and cranks it up a few notches on the trail difficulty dial. Under the hood sits a 2.7L EcoBoost V6 paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and full 4WD, which means this thing has enough horsepower to make your excuses for staying on the pavement completely run out of road. The Sasquatch Package adds high clearance suspension and a 4.7 final drive ratio, so you can tell your friends you drive something with bigger feet than they do.
The Badlands trim is not shy about its off-road credentials, but it also cleans up nicely for everyday life. HOSS 3.0 with FOX Internal Bypass Dampers and Position-Sensitive Bilstein shocks handle the bumps, while the 360-degree camera and front and rear parking sensors handle the part where you try to fit it into a parking garage and immediately regret your choices. Inside, you get Marine Grade Vinyl Heated Bucket Seats, a B&O Sound System by Bang and Olufsen, SYNC 4 with Connected Navigation, and Dual-Zone Electronic Automatic Temperature Control. The Bang and Olufsen audio is so good, your off-road playlist will sound better than it deserves to.
Comfort-minded features are stacked in here too. The heated steering wheel, ambient footwell lighting, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and adaptive cruise control make the cabin feel genuinely enjoyable on long highway stretches, where you will average around 18 MPG highway. Pro Power Onboard at 400W means you can plug in gear at the campsite, or just charge your phone while you pretend you are about to do something adventurous. The Hard Top Sound Deadening Headliner keeps trail noise from turning your commute into a percussion recital.
This 2026 Ford Bronco Badlands is priced at $68,504 and ready to steer your weekends in a much more interesting direction.
