The Ford Bronco has been making off-road lovers absolutely wild since it came back, and the Badlands trim is the one that means serious business in the dirt. This 2026 Ford Bronco Badlands in Shadow Black is ready to tackle trails that would make a lesser vehicle weep into its floor mats. Under the hood sits a 2.7L EcoBoost V6 paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and full 4WD, plus the legendary Sasquatch Package, High Clearance Suspension, and a 4.7 final drive ratio that gives this thing the kind of low-end grunt to climb things your GPS will flatly refuse to acknowledge. The HOSS 3.0 system with FOX Internal Bypass Dampers and Position-Sensitive Bilstein shocks keep you planted when the road gets rowdy, which around here in New England happens approximately every March. We like to think this Bronco is very good at handling rough situations. You could say it really knows how to keep its composure under pressure. We will see ourselves out.
At $67,804, you are getting a truck loaded with gear that would make a mountain goat jealous. The Lux Package brings heated Marine Grade Vinyl Bucket Seats, dual-zone automatic temperature control, a heated steering wheel, and a B&O Sound System by Bang and Olsen that makes your favorite road trip playlist sound like a concert hall somehow followed you into the wilderness. A 360-degree camera, front and rear parking sensors, adaptive cruise control, evasive steering assist, and Pro Power Onboard 400W round out a features list long enough to impress the whole campsite. The connected navigation via SYNC 4 will steer you in the right direction even when cell service gives up, and the SiriusXM with 360L keeps the tunes rolling when radio stations do the same. At 17 city and 18 highway MPG, you will not be stopping for fuel quite as often as the Badlands will stop you in your tracks with how good it looks doing it.
The Black Onyx interior is sleek and tough at the same time, with ambient footwell lighting, illuminated entry, and a hard top sound deadening headliner that makes highway cruising noticeably quieter than you might expect from something wearing mud-terrain hardware. Dual Smart Charging USB ports, steering wheel mounted audio controls, an auto-dimming rearview mirror, and a split folding rear seat round out the inside nicely. The 17-inch Carbonized Gray-Painted Aluminum wheels tie the Shadow Black exterior together in a way that makes other trucks in the parking lot feel a little under-dressed. We think this Bronco looks like it is always about 10 minutes away from an adventure, which honestly is a great way to look at all times.

Our team at AutoFair Ford of Haverhill would love to walk you through the details, answer your questions, and get you behind that heated steering wheel for a test drive you will not soon forget.
