2026 Ford Bronco 60th Anniversary Package channels 1966 style with modern Sasquatch hardware
Ford is celebrating 60 years of Bronco heritage with a special 2026 Ford Bronco 60th Anniversary. Instead of tinkering with the powertrain or chassis, the Blue Oval doubles down on nostalgia, adding heritage-inspired touches inside and out—and making the coveted Sasquatch off-road package standard. Based on the Outer Banks trim, this limited-run edition stands apart from the rest of the Bronco lineup with a blend of retro style and ready-for-anything capability.
Retro cues meet current Bronco proportions
Exclusivity is part of the appeal—Ford’s 60th Anniversary Package is reserved for the four-door Bronco Outer Banks, and only when paired with the Sasquatch bundle. That combination equips every example with 35-inch Goodyear Territory rugged-terrain tires, a 4.7:1 final drive, and electronically locking Dana axles front and rear. Distinctive 17-inch Gravity Gray alloy wheels feature beadlock-ready rims tucked behind nostalgic Vermilion Red center caps, each stamped with “1966” and the bucking-horse logo—a direct homage to the hubcaps on first-generation Broncos.
Up front, a redesigned grille finished in Warm Alloy paint wears bold Vermilion Red block lettering, setting the Anniversary model apart from other 2026 Broncos that stick with white, gray, or body-color scripts. Paint choices are limited to Wimbledon White or Ruby Red, both available with a contrasting Wimbledon White modular hardtop. A slim red side stripe starts at the front fender with a stylized “60” badge, while the tailgate is capped with a Wimbledon White spare-tire cover featuring matching red script—a clean, retro-flavored send-off that ties the look together.
Interior trim steps up a notch
The standard Outer Banks already boasts one of the Bronco lineup’s most upscale interiors, but the 60th Anniversary edition layers on materials and details you won’t find anywhere else. Ebony leather bolsters frame Alpine leather seat inserts, each seatback embossed with a commemorative 60th Anniversary crest. Alpine-grade vinyl covers the armrests for added toughness when the doors come off, while the dashboard picks up contrasting Alpine stitching and Bronco Red accents around the grab handles and infotainment surround.
Practical updates join the style upgrades. Newly designed A-pillar-mounted grab handles—making their debut here—will become standard across the 2026 Bronco range. Standard wheelbase-length running boards replace the rock rails that typically accompany Sasquatch-equipped models, sacrificing some break-over clearance for easier step-in access. Tech and comfort remain familiar, with a 12-inch digital gauge cluster and a 12-speaker B&O audio system carried over from other 2025-and-newer Broncos.
Powertrains carry over—by design
There are no mechanical surprises here. The 60th Anniversary Bronco sticks with the familiar pair of engines: a 2.3-liter EcoBoost inline-four producing 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque, or a 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6 rated at 330 horsepower and 415 lb-ft. The seven-speed manual gearbox remains exclusive to the four-cylinder, while the 10-speed automatic is available with either engine. Equipped with the V6 and Sasquatch hardware, the Outer Banks sprints to 60 mph in the mid-six-second range—impressive for a vehicle shaped like a wind-cheating cinder block.
Ford hasn’t added the High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension (HOSS) 3.0 here—that’s still reserved for the Badlands, Everglades, and Raptor trims. Instead, the Anniversary model keeps the Sasquatch package’s Bilstein position-sensitive dampers. Off-road geometry is identical to a standard Sasquatch-equipped Outer Banks, with unchanged approach, departure, and break-over angles, while low-range gearing works alongside seven G.O.A.T. drive modes displayed on the digital instrument cluster.
Pricing and availability
Ford hasn’t announced official pricing yet, but insiders expect the 60th Anniversary Package to land above the 2025 Outer Banks Sasquatch’s roughly $58,000 starting price. Production will be capped—though Ford isn’t saying by how much—and order books will open alongside the rest of the 2026 Bronco lineup late next summer, with first deliveries slated for early 2026.
When it arrives, the commemorative model will share showroom space with other returning special editions, including the vibrant Free Wheeling, the retro two-door Stroppe Special Edition—both introduced for 2025—and the range-topping, 418-horsepower Bronco Raptor.
Worth the birthday price premium?
The 2026 Ford Bronco 60th Anniversary Package blends authentic heritage cues with the proven off-road hardware that has long defined the nameplate. For devoted Bronco fans, the retro-inspired details and carefully chosen color combinations will feel like a respectful nod to 1966. That said, buyers hoping for deeper mechanical changes or cutting-edge tech upgrades may find this milestone edition more about style than substance. Still, with its bold red-on-white—or white-on-red—livery, it injects classic Bronco character into a thoroughly modern 4×4 that remains among the most capable and versatile SUVs on the road today.
