Ford Bronco 60th Anniversary Edition

June 19th, 2026 by

In 2026, Ford Motor Company marks six decades of the legendary Bronco with a special edition that honors its storied past while delivering modern capability. At Stivers Ford of Birmingham, we’re excited to offer this commemorative package that transforms the capable Outer Banks trim into something truly distinctive. If you’re ready to own a piece of automotive history, contact our team to discuss reserving your 60th Anniversary Edition.

The Ford Bronco 60th Anniversary Edition celebrates a legacy that started in 1966 when the original compact off-roader challenged conventions and redefined adventure vehicles. This isn’t just another trim package. It’s a carefully crafted tribute featuring exclusive design elements that directly reference the first-generation Bronco.

Six Decades of Ford Bronco: A Legacy Worth Celebrating

The Bronco’s journey spans six distinct generations, each reflecting its era while maintaining the adventurous spirit that made the nameplate iconic. The original 1966-1977 Bronco introduced removable doors and tops, competing directly with Jeep’s CJ-5. Through full-size iterations in the 1980s and early 1990s, the Bronco evolved before its 25-year hiatus.

When Ford Motor Company relaunched the Bronco in 2021, it returned to the vehicle’s roots with modern engineering. Today’s sixth-generation models feature G.O.A.T. modes for varied terrain, modular hardtops, and the legendary removable door design. The 60th Anniversary Edition builds on this foundation, adding commemorative touches that connect directly to 1966.

What’s Included in the Ford Bronco 60th Anniversary Package

Exclusive Exterior Design Elements

Ford designed this package around distinctive visual elements that immediately set it apart. The 17-inch Gravity Gray alloy wheels feature Vermillion Red accents and center caps displaying the Bucking Bronco logo with a “1966” commemorative ring, directly referencing the original Bronco’s iconic badging.

Body color choices honor classic palette options: Wimbledon White or Ruby Red, both paired with a Wimbledon White roof. The Warm Alloy grille incorporates Vermillion Red “BRONCO” lettering, while 35-inch Goodyear rugged terrain tires come standard through the mandatory Sasquatch Package. Every exterior element reinforces the anniversary theme while maintaining the aggressive stance that makes the 2026 Ford Bronco such a commanding presence.

Premium Interior Appointments and Technology

Inside, Ebony leather seats feature Alpine leather inserts with embossed 60th Anniversary logos on the seatbacks. It’s a subtle but important detail that distinguishes this edition from standard Outer Banks models. The 12-inch center display manages the B&O Sound System and provides access to connectivity features that keep you connected whether you’re navigating Birmingham streets or exploring remote trails.

Ford Co-Pilot360 comes standard, delivering forward collision warning, pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, and automatic high beams. The interior balances heritage-inspired design with modern convenience, creating a cabin that feels both nostalgic and contemporary.

Performance and Off-Road Capability

The 60th Anniversary Edition requires the Sasquatch Package, immediately elevating capability beyond the standard Outer Banks configuration. This package integrates high-clearance suspension with Bilstein shock absorbers, electronic-locking front and rear differentials, and an advanced 4×4 system engineered for serious off-road work.

Two EcoBoost powertrains deliver the performance needed for varied terrain:

 

Engine Horsepower Torque Transmission
2.3L EcoBoost I-4 (standard) 300 hp 325 lb-ft 7-speed manual or 10-speed automatic
2.7L EcoBoost V6 (optional) 330 hp 415 lb-ft 10-speed automatic

The standard 2.3L I-4 provides strong low-end torque for confident rock crawling and hill climbing. Want maximum capability? The 2.7L V6 delivers 415 lb-ft of torque through a 10-speed automatic transmission. Both engines pair naturally with the Sasquatch Package’s enhanced suspension geometry and locking differentials.

G.O.A.T. modes allow quick terrain adjustments, letting you optimize performance for sand, mud, rock crawling, or highway driving. Those 35-inch tires provide substantial ground clearance while maintaining on-road manners that make daily driving comfortable. We encourage Birmingham drivers to explore our 2026 Bronco inventory and experience how this capability translates to real-world confidence.

How the 60th Anniversary Edition Compares to Standard Bronco Models

Understanding what makes this edition special requires comparing it directly to the Outer Banks trim it’s based on:

 

Feature/Package 60th Anniversary Edition Standard Outer Banks
Base Configuration Outer Banks + Sasquatch (mandatory) Outer Banks (no mandatory off-road upgrades)
Wheels/Tires 17-inch Gravity Gray alloys, 35-inch Goodyear rugged terrain 18-inch Bright Machined Black High Gloss-painted aluminum-alloy wheels
Exclusive Styling Vermillion Red accents, 1966 Bucking Bronco caps, Warm Alloy grille Standard grille, no anniversary badging
Suspension/Off-Road High-clearance Sasquatch (Bilstein shocks, lockers, advanced 4×4) Optional Sasquatch; standard lower clearance
Interior Ebony and Alpine leather seats with anniversary embossing Leather-trimmed seating surfaces

The mandatory Sasquatch Package represents the most significant functional difference. While Outer Banks buyers can add Sasquatch as an option, the Anniversary Edition includes it as standard equipment. This ensures every unit delivers maximum off-road capability. The commemorative badging, unique color combinations, and anniversary-specific design elements transform the Outer Banks from capable to collectible without compromising practical features.

Standard 2026 Ford Bronco models like Badlands offer different capability packages, while variants such as the 2026 Bronco Raptor push performance boundaries even further. The Anniversary Edition occupies its own space, balancing heritage tribute with genuine capability.
