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.

The 60th Anniversary Package is only available with the Outer Banks trim and requires selection of the Sasquatch Package.

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.
