I came here to read all the whiner and hater comments and y’all didn’t disappoint. Too many doors, the Bronco wasn’t produced continuously, not a badlands, blah blah blah. I think it looks good but I won’t be replacing my Bronco anytime soon, and if I had to it would be a badlands. If my wife wanted a new vehicle in the next year or two and liked this I guess we’d end up with one.

the A-pillar grab handles are nice (maybe can order those for previous models)
No thanks, they look like they are going to block my view. Also, is it just me or do they look cheap? Not as beefy as the other grab handles. Maybe it is just the video I saw.

Update: Just sat in my Bronco and imagined a grab handle on the A frame. Definitely no! It's going to be a head bonker for sure when rolling out of the seat head first while getting out of the vehicle.

Price = irrelevant

One per dealer allocation = price gouging

Why bother hyping this up when it’s not really available for the average consumer.

I don’t get it.
Because Ford hates us

I'm totally underwhelmed. Nothing that special. I like the badge and the grab handles, I wonder if we will be able to retrofit? Other than that it really is pretty vanilla and those wheels just look too busy. Why would you base it on the OB and not the BL? At least with the BL you could have had a 2dr. No way I'd ever give up my HLE for that not to mention no 2dr.

Guessing these will never see a trail.
Most Sasquatch Broncos never see a trail. But with those wheels, who TF wants to clean them?

Ford shouldn't have bothered designing a new wheel. The Sasquatch Free-Wheeling turbine wheels are certainly readily available as the take rate on that package has to be low. The turbine wheels at least pay homage to a retro design.

This looks very nice, wheels are sick and the overall appearance falls in line with fords anniversary editions of other models. not sure why people expected another heritage model for the anniversary or a new model just to celebrate an anniversary. If you expected a new Bronco you need to layoff the interwebs click bait videos or crack.
If you wanted a heritage look well ford already did that so go buy one.

I’m disappointed in no 2 door but not shocked. The price will be $76k or more and that will limit sales so I get it, no 2dr.
My small dealer has had 2 Stroppe on the lot for over a month now, they just don’t seem to be selling well, due to the price I suspect.
I think it looks great and it’s what I expected, cosmetic changes for collectors.

So much for a refresh. Keep milking it Ford.

Nothing about these design choices resembles an homage. WTF are those wheels?! They’re a fine design. But, not retro at all.
Hey, they figured out how to put rear vents in the 2025 (just forgot to connect them in many cases based on the forum). Give them a break!

I agree though, everyone who was hyped up for BIG CHANGES in 2026 is like...

OK - like the WW top. Anyone gets one and wants to trade for a MIC let me know 😂

The handles are a head knocker. Hope they are removable.

I guess we can eliminate the following rumors:

Drop down tailgate with swing out tire carrier
All fenders go to heritage
V8
LED square headlights

If all we get for a refresh is head knocker handles - welp…

4-Door? That’s stupid.

The wheels look interesting but they also look like a pain to clean off mud and dirt. No thanks.

I like the idea of the three piece and two tone grill with inserts that can be printed painted. Unlike all the other Ford grilles, this one has more of a prominent raised brow around the entire grille like the ‘66 and recessed grille area. But the pattern looks nothing like the original design which is a huge miss. It looks too “technical” and modern. Nice grille but strange choice for the 60th Anniversary.

The wheel cover, like the grille, also looks nice but also too modern. The shell reminds me of Mercedes G wagon or a Land Rover.

Not much else besides those big three things except badging and accents.

Overall nice looking 4-door but a total miss as a 60th Anniversary edition. Probably looks better in the Ruby Red color.*

EDIT: *oh there it is in one photo.
