2026 Ford Bronco Australia Right Hand Drive Buyer’s Guide: Trims, Engines, 2-Door and 4-Door

For years Australians have watched the Ford Bronco carve across Moab slickrock and Baja sand, waiting for a genuine way to enjoy that same spirit here. In 2026, Autogroup International is making it real. We are introducing the Ford Bronco to Australia in right hand drive, built to order, engineered to Australian expectations, and backed by our 5-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty with 24/7 roadside assistance. If you want a full-strength Bronco you can daily drive and point at the High Country on weekends, this is your complete, plain-English guide.

As with our right hand drive programs for the GMC Yukon XL, Chevrolet Tahoe, Dodge Durango, Hummer EV SUV and other American icons in Australia, we do not simply move a steering wheel. We design, engineer, manufacture key components and complete the conversion with the same discipline used by global automakers, then validate the result on road. That is how you get the authentic Bronco character, the refinement you expect in Australia, and support that lasts. And with full ADR compliance – backed by our 34 year’s

What makes the Bronco special

Bronco is a classic ladder-frame 4×4 reimagined for modern life. It comes as a two-door or four-door with removable roof panels and doors, upright visibility, proper low-range gearing and clever trail hardware. Ford’s HOSS suspension family was designed around high-speed rough-road control and rock-crawl articulation, with dedicated tunes for each trim. The cabin mixes glove-friendly switchgear with a contemporary infotainment stack, the driving position is purpose-built for scanning ruts, crests and traffic, and the whole package feels unflustered on long, broken bitumen.

Two-door or four-door

The two-door carries the classic short-wheelbase stance and is lighter on its feet in tight terrain, perfect for solo adventures or couples. The four-door adds easy rear access, more second-row legroom and a substantially larger cargo area, making it the smart pick for families, touring and camera gear. Doors and roof sections remove on both body styles for open-air driving. The four-door’s longer wheelbase also calms corrugations on remote-area roads.

Engines and drivetrains

Ford offers three turbocharged EcoBoost engines for Bronco. All pair to a 10-speed automatic, and the 2.3-litre is also available with a 7-speed manual in selected configurations. Your choice comes down to where and how you drive most.

Pick the 2.3-litre EcoBoost inline-four if you want the best balance for everyday use, touring and light accessories. It delivers strong low-rpm torque and the broadest availability across trims, with the option of a manual for purists.

Choose the 2.7-litre EcoBoost V6 if you plan long beach runs, more towing and heavier accessories. The extra muscle makes overtakes effortless and suits buyers who will fit larger tyres, protection and touring kit.

The 3.0-litre EcoBoost V6 is exclusive to Bronco Raptor. It is the flagship performance option, tuned for sustained high-load work and dune play. If you want the most headroom for heat, speed and suspension travel, Raptor is the answer.

Every Bronco we deliver in Australia is configured one-to-one with you. We lock in body style, engine, colour and factory options, then build to that exact specification. Our typical order-to-keys timeline is about six months, which includes right hand drive engineering, component manufacture, conversion, quality checks and delivery.

Trims explained

There are six headline Bronco flavours we recommend for Australia. Each can be tailored further with packages like Sasquatch and Black Appearance, different roof types and practical protection.

Big Bend is a great entry if you want daily usability with real trail capability. It adds key convenience features and useful wheel and tyre upgrades over base models, and it is the perfect canvas for the Sasquatch Package later on if you catch the off-road bug.

Outer Banks leans into comfort and coastal style. It brings premium interior touches and technology while keeping the core trail gear. If you commute during the week and air down on the weekend, this is a sweet spot.

Badlands arrives with serious off-road hardware from the factory. Low-speed control, articulation and rough-track protection are the focus, and it is the trim many enthusiasts recognise as the right starting point for remote travel builds.

Heritage Edition delivers retro paint and interior cues inspired by first-generation Broncos, complete with unique wheel designs and contrasting roof treatments. You get the nostalgia without giving up modern running gear and safety, which makes Heritage a surprisingly practical family choice.

Stroppe Edition is a modern tribute to Bronco racing heritage with bespoke colour blocking and stance. Beyond graphics, it can be optioned with HOSS 3.0 suspension that adds high-performance FOX internal bypass dampers for sustained control on rough tracks, plus a long list of functional upgrades.

Bronco Raptor is the ultimate. Wide-track suspension, heavy-duty axles, a reinforced frame and the 3.0-litre EcoBoost V6 deliver dune-crossing speed and brutal heat management that conventional 4x4s cannot match. Raptor is four-door only and rides on serious off-road rubber, so think of it as a purpose-built desert runner that remains civilised for the school run.

Key factory packages and options for Australian buyers

Sasquatch Package is the single most asked-for upgrade. It bundles 35-inch tyres, high-clearance suspension, locking differentials and the right gearing to keep the engine in its sweet spot. It transforms the Bronco’s footprint and breakover angles while maintaining day-to-day manners. Available on multiple trims.

HOSS 2.0 and HOSS 3.0 suspension bring real benefits on our roads. HOSS 2.0 improves control and comfort across corrugations and broken bitumen. HOSS 3.0 adds FOX internal bypass dampers that hold composure at higher speeds and over repeated hits, ideal for outback tracks and desert trips. Stroppe can be optioned with HOSS 3.0 from the factory.

Black Appearance Package darkens key exterior accents for a tougher look that pairs well with lighter paint colours and red dust. It is purely a styling pack and does not compromise functional options you may want for touring.

Hard-top and soft-top roof choices are both available. The modular hard-top is quieter on the highway and better for roof loads. The soft-top makes open-air motoring quick at camp and suits owners who regularly remove roof sections. We will guide you to the right choice based on climate, garage height and travel plans.

Removable doors and roof panels are core to the Bronco experience. Mirrors remain in place when the doors are off for visibility, and storage solutions can be planned during your build to manage panels safely on the move.

Trail tech and protection options deserve careful selection. From steel bash plates and rock rails to advanced camera views that help you place a tyre, Bronco’s option set is genuinely useful. We work with you to prioritise the hardware that pays off in Australia rather than loading up on showroom trinkets.

Interior, comfort and everyday use

Bronco’s cabin is more refined than the old school 4x4s we grew up with yet still built to handle mud and sand. Big controls can be used with gloves, there are thoughtful grab handles for rough tracks, and the screen layout is clean and responsive. On the four-door, second-row access is easy and packing for long trips is straightforward thanks to the wider cargo aperture. Soft luggage and recovery kits are simple to organise with modular storage. During your build we can integrate drawer systems, fridge power, accessory switching and airline-style lashing points that keep heavy gear low and secure.

How our Australian right hand drive program works

Autogroup International has engineered and delivered more than 5,000 right hand drive vehicles over 30 years. We are Australia’s leading end-to-end right hand drive design, engineering, automotive component manufacturing and conversion company, with more than 250 specialists and a global footprint. That matters because it determines how your Bronco feels on day one and how it holds up in year ten.

We begin with a consult to specify body style, engine, paint and all factory options. You are not choosing from a pre-set spec. You are building your Bronco. We then design and manufacture the right hand drive components, complete the conversion, and run a multi-stage quality process that covers fit, finish and function. Typical timing from order to delivery is about six months. Every Bronco is backed by our 5-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty with 24/7 roadside assistance, national service coverage and a parts pipeline that keeps you moving.

Which Bronco is right for me

If you need a daily driver that can handle weekend trails, start with Big Bend or Outer Banks with the 2.3-litre, then add Sasquatch if you want the 35-inch stance and capability. For remote touring and towing smaller toys, Badlands with the 2.7-litre V6 balances off-road hardware and highway confidence. Add the modular hard-top, skid protection and a tailored storage and power package. If retro cool with modern comfort is your vibe, Heritage Edition brings first-gen looks with the safety and tech you expect. For high-speed desert and dune work, Stroppe Edition with HOSS 3.0 delivers serious rough-track control without going all the way to Raptor width. If you want maximum headroom in suspension travel and heat management, Bronco Raptor is your pick.
