2. Exterior Evolution: Trail-Ready & Attention-Grabbing

Bold Grille, Wider Fender Flares

The 2026 Bronco features a bold, full-width LED-illuminated grille. Reinforced bash plates protect the underbody for creek crossings and off-road adventures along Mudlick Creek.

New, wider flares fit optional 35-inch wheels, repelling mud and water on rugged trails while enhancing Bronco’s iconic look.

Advanced Lighting Options

• Available rock and puddle lights provide visibility for nighttime off-roading.

Lighter roof panels and a reinforced crossbar make removal faster and easier—perfect for weekend cruising at Herrington Lake or camping by the Kentucky River.

These updates balance rugged utility with standout style, making your Bronco ready for both city streets and backcountry trails.

3. Tech-Driven Interior for Every Adventure

12-Inch SYNC 5 Touchscreen

The upgraded SYNC 5 touchscreen delivers smoother performance, quicker navigation, and wireless Apple CarPlay & Android Auto—ideal for trips to Shaker Village or Louisville.

Optional Heads-Up Display (HUD)

Available on mid and high trims, the HUD projects speed, compass, and off-road data right onto your windshield—critical for steep Kentucky trails or night driving.

Redesigned Gear Tunnel

The rear gear tunnel is now deeper and padded, with integrated tie-downs and LED lighting—great for kayaks, coolers, or camping gear for days at Green River Lake or rafting on the Cumberland.

Durable & Climate-Ready Materials

• Water-resistant seat fabrics and rubberized floors make it easy to clean mud, sand, or creek water.
• Optional heated seats and steering wheel add comfort for chilly mornings.
• Removable, washable carpets simplify cleanup after beach days, trail runs, or rural adventures.

4. Off-Road Tech & Safety: Confidence on Every Surface

TrailCam Evolution

The TrailCam system now offers 360-degree views with high-res cameras—essential for rock crawling or finding the perfect campsite in Daniel Boone State Park.

Wildlife & Obstacle Detection

Advanced radar recognizes deer, livestock, and fallen trees, providing added safety for rural routes and nighttime drives on I-64.

Lane-Keep & Adaptive Speed

Enhanced Lane-Keeping and Adaptive Cruise Control make highway drives on the Bluegrass Parkway easier and safer.

Over-the-Air Updates

Bronco owners no longer need to visit the dealership for software updates. Our team keeps your vehicle current—whether it’s trail maps or performance enhancements.
