Ford Bronco 60th Anniversary Edition Blends Past and Present

From Trailblazer to Heritage Icon

Introduced on August 11, 1965, as a 1966 model, the Ford Bronco was designed to bring the simplicity and excitement of the Mustang into a rugged, off-road-ready vehicle. It marked Ford’s entry into what it termed the “sport-utility” space, a phrase that would later define an entire segment.

For decades, the Bronco became a recognizable presence in both everyday use and off-road circles, earning a reputation for toughness and adventure-readiness. After a 23-year production gap, Ford revived the Bronco in 2020 with a design that leaned heavily on its vintage roots.

In 2026, the model marks its 60th anniversary. To commemorate the occasion, Ford is rolling out a 60th Anniversary Package for the Bronco, designed to highlight the vehicle’s legacy while maintaining its off-road utility and modern comfort.

Designing with Restraint and Reference

Built on the Outer Banks trim, the 60th Anniversary Bronco comes exclusively with the Sasquatch Package. It features 35-inch Goodyear rugged terrain tires, an advanced four-wheel-drive system, high-clearance suspension, and locking differentials. A new 17-inch Gravity Gray alloy wheel design nods to the past with a Vermilion Red center cap stamped with the year “1966” and a bucking Bronco logo.

A reworked grille with Warm Alloy paint and red “BRONCO” lettering is paired with body color options that evoke classic Ford tones. Wimbledon White – a color used on the original Bronco – is available for the body or as a contrast roof when paired with Ruby Red paint. Vermilion Red accents appear throughout the exterior, including a rocker panel graphic with a 60th Anniversary logo and a Wimbledon White spare tire cover with a red Bronco wordmark.

The interior receives a modest upgrade with Ebony and Alpine leather seats embossed with anniversary logos, Alpine-stitched dash accents, and marine-grade vinyl door trim. Red detailing on the dashboard and grab handles continues the subtle nod to classic design. Newly introduced A-pillar-mounted grab handles and standard running boards enhance everyday usability.

Available to Order in a Few Months

The 60th Anniversary Package is only available with the Outer Banks trim and requires selection of the Sasquatch Package. Buyers can choose between a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder producing 300 horsepower or an optional 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 rated at 330 hp found in other Fords. Both are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission and full-time four-wheel drive.

Ford says the special edition will be available to order starting October 2025, with pricing to be announced shortly beforehand. More will be revealed on August 4.
