Frequently Asked Questions About the 2026 Ford Bronco Sport
What engine options are available on the 2026 Ford Bronco Sport?
The 2026 Bronco Sport offers two EcoBoost engine choices: the 1.5L three-cylinder (180 hp / 200 lb-ft torque) standard on Big Bend, Heritage, and Outer Banks trims, and the more powerful 2.0L four-cylinder (250 hp / 280 lb-ft torque) that comes standard on the Badlands. Both pair with an 8-speed SelectShift automatic transmission and standard 4x4.
How does the Bronco Sport differ from the full-size Bronco?
The Bronco Sport is a compact crossover SUV built on a car-based platform, making it more efficient, easier to park, and better suited for everyday use — while still offering impressive trail capability with standard 4x4, G.O.A.T. Modes, and available off-road packages. The full-size Bronco is a body-on-frame SUV designed for serious rock-crawling with removable doors and roof. The Bronco Sport is the smarter pick for drivers who split time between trails and daily errands.
What is the Sasquatch Package on the Bronco Sport?
The Sasquatch Package upgrades the Bronco Sport with the largest available tires in its class — 235/65R17 Goodyear Territory All-Terrain tires — along with HOSS 3.0 off-road suspension and Bilstein rear position-sensitive shocks. It's available as an add-on for the Outer Banks and Badlands trims. The Sasquatch Badlands package represents the absolute peak of Bronco Sport off-road capability.
Is the 2026 Ford Bronco Sport good for everyday driving in Northern Virginia?
Absolutely. The Bronco Sport is purpose-built for dual-purpose life. All trims include a 13.2" SYNC 4 infotainment screen, wireless CarPlay and Android Auto™, and Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist+ driver-assistance technology. The Outer Banks adds heated seats and a heated steering wheel, making it just as comfortable on Route 7 or the Dulles Toll Road as it is on a weekend trail. The 1.5L EcoBoost also delivers an EPA-estimated 25 city / 30 highway MPG.
What is the towing capacity of the 2026 Ford Bronco Sport?
When properly equipped with the available Class II Trailer Tow Package, the Bronco Sport can tow up to 2,700 lbs on Badlands models and 2,200 lbs on Big Bend and Outer Banks models. That's enough for a small boat, personal watercraft, or a loaded cargo trailer — perfect for Northern Virginia adventurers heading to Lake Anna or the Shenandoah Valley. Towing capacity varies by trim and configuration, so ask a Ted Britt specialist for details.
