On August 11, 1965, Ford showed the world a small, boxy 4×4 called the Bronco and helped coin the term “sport-utility.” Sixty years later, Ford is marking the milestone with one of the best-looking Broncos it has ever built: the 60th Anniversary Edition.
It’s not a separate model, and it’s not cheap. But it does something no other 2026 Bronco does: it pairs a 1966-inspired look and full Sasquatch off-road hardware with a two-tone leather cabin. The Heritage Edition goes retro too, but with plaid cloth and a simpler interior. That mix of nostalgia and comfort is why so many people are searching for this one.
Quick answer: The Ford Bronco 60th Anniversary Edition is a $4,995 package for the 2026 Bronco Outer Banks four-door, and it requires the Sasquatch Package. It comes in Wimbledon White with a matching roof or Ruby Red with a white roof, and adds a retro Warm Alloy grille with red BRONCO lettering, 17-inch Gravity Gray wheels with “1966” center caps, 60th Anniversary badges and graphics, and Ebony-and-Alpine leather seats. Real window stickers run about $65,000 to $69,000. You can choose the 2.3L EcoBoost (300 hp) or 2.7L EcoBoost V6 (330 hp).
Below, we break down every feature, the real price once you stack the required packages, how it compares with the Heritage Edition, and whether it’s worth buying as a future collectible. New to the nameplate? Start with our Ford Bronco guides.
Why the Bronco’s 60th Anniversary Matters
Ford introduced the Bronco on August 11, 1965, as a 1966 model. It was small, simple and built for dirt roads, and it gave Ford a rival to the Jeep CJ and International Scout. That first-generation truck is the one the 60th Anniversary Edition is designed to remember.
| Generation | Years | What defined it |
|---|---|---|
| First | 1966–1977 | Compact, boxy 4×4; the design the 60th Anniversary Edition draws from |
| Second | 1978–1979 | Grew to full size, based on the F-Series pickup |
| Third | 1980–1986 | Lighter, more efficient full-size Bronco |
| Fourth | 1987–1991 | Updated styling and more comfort features |
| Fifth | 1992–1996 | Final full-size Bronco before a long hiatus |
| Sixth | 2021–present | The modern return: removable doors and roof, G.O.A.T. Modes, Sasquatch Package |
The Bronco disappeared from Ford showrooms after 1996 and didn’t return until the 2021 model year. That 25-year gap is a big part of why the modern Bronco’s heritage editions sell so well: many buyers grew up with an older Bronco in the family, or always wanted one.
The 1966 design cues on the 60th Anniversary Edition are deliberate. The wheel design and red center caps nod to the original hubcaps, Wimbledon White was a real color on early Broncos, and there’s a small “Bronco 1966” plate by the front wheel. If you love classic Fords, our guide to classic Ford trucks worth knowing covers more of that era.
What You Get With the Bronco 60th Anniversary Package
Colors: only two combinations
- Wimbledon White body with a matching Wimbledon White hard top. This is a historic Ford color offered on the original Bronco.
- Ruby Red Metallic body with a contrasting Wimbledon White hard top.
That’s it. You can’t order a 60th Anniversary Bronco in black, gray or blue, which is part of what makes it instantly recognizable.
Exterior features
- Warm Alloy-painted grille, inspired by the original, with Vermilion Red BRONCO lettering
- 17-inch Gravity Gray alloy wheels with Vermilion Red center caps showing the Bucking Bronco logo and “1966”
- 35-inch Goodyear rugged-terrain tires (from the required Sasquatch Package)
- Vermilion Red bodyside graphic that starts with a 60th Anniversary logo
- Cloisonné-style 60th Anniversary fender badges, inspired by the badges on the Mustang 60th Anniversary package
- Steel front bumper
- Wheelbase-length running boards
- Hard-center spare tire cover in Wimbledon White with red BRONCO lettering
- Matte black Ford badge on the tailgate
- A small “Bronco 1966” plate near the front wheel, plus a hidden Easter egg or two
The badges have a fun link to Ford’s other icon. They borrow the classic cloisonné look Ford used for the Mustang’s 60th birthday. Our story of every Mustang generation shows where that design language comes from.
Interior features
- Ebony leather on the seat outers and bolsters, with Alpine (off-white) leather inserts
- Embossed 60th Anniversary logos on the seatbacks
- Alpine marine-grade vinyl armrests
- Leather-topped dashboard with Alpine stitching
- Bronco Red accents on the instrument panel and grab handles
- New A-pillar grab handles (also offered across the 2026 Bronco range)
What comes from the Outer Banks and Sasquatch Package
Because the 60th Anniversary package sits on an Outer Banks with Sasquatch, you also get:
- Advanced 4×4 with automatic on-demand engagement
- Electronic-locking front and rear differentials and a 4.7 final drive ratio
- High-clearance suspension with position-sensitive Bilstein dampers and high-clearance fender flares
- Up to 11.5 inches of ground clearance and 33.5 inches of water fording
- Mid Package features standard on Outer Banks, including heated front seats, dual-zone climate, remote start and rear parking sensors
- 10-way power driver’s seat and 8-way power passenger seat
- 12-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
Bronco 60th Anniversary Specs

| Torque (premium fuel) | 325 lb-ft | 415 lb-ft |
| Transmission | 10-speed automatic | 10-speed automatic |

| Max towing | 3,500 lbs (with tow prep) | 3,500 lbs (with tow prep) |
| Fuel tank | 20.8 gal | 20.8 gal |
On 35-inch tires, don’t expect great fuel economy. One dealer-listed 2.7L 60th Anniversary model shows 19 mpg city and 21 mpg highway, with about 1,286 lbs of payload. You can compare any Bronco configuration on the EPA’s fueleconomy.gov.
Which engine should you pick? The 2.3L is plenty for daily driving and trails. The 2.7L V6 adds 90 lb-ft of torque, which you’ll feel when the Bronco is loaded, on highway on-ramps and when pulling a small trailer. If you plan to tow, read our Bronco towing capacity guide first; every non-Raptor Bronco tops out at 3,500 lbs.
How Much Is the Bronco 60th Anniversary Edition?
The $4,995 package price is only part of the story, because Ford requires the Sasquatch Package too. Here’s how a typical build adds up, before destination:
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| 2026 Bronco Outer Banks 4-door | $48,090 |
| Sasquatch Package (required) | About $6,470 |
| 60th Anniversary Package | $4,995 |
| Minimum before destination and options | About $59,555 |
| Popular add: Lux Package (360° camera, adaptive cruise, B&O audio) | About $2,850 |
| Popular add: 2.7L EcoBoost V6 | Extra cost |
In the real world, many 60th Anniversary Broncos on dealer lots have the Lux Package, and plenty have the V6. In late 2026, window stickers we found ranged from about $64,975 to $69,260, and dealers were advertising roughly $4,000 to $6,800 off MSRP through discounts and Ford rebates. In other words, there’s no need to pay a markup for this one.
How to get one
Orders for the 2026 Bronco and the 60th Anniversary package opened in October 2025, and trucks are now on dealer lots across the country. You can search inventory through any Ford dealer or custom-order through your local store.
Ford hasn’t published a production limit, so treat dealer labels like “Limited Edition” as marketing. The package is tied to the Bronco’s 60th birthday, and Ford’s 2027 Bronco news centers on the new Filson and RTR models, so expect 2026 to be the only model year for this exact look.
60th Anniversary vs Heritage Edition vs Outer Banks Sasquatch
If you want a retro-styled Bronco, you have two factory choices, plus the option of skipping the theme altogether. Here’s how they stack up.
| Outer Banks + Sasquatch | Heritage Edition | 60th Anniversary Edition | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starting price (before destination) | About $54,560 | $51,625 (Sasquatch included) | About $59,555 |
| Look | Modern, color-matched | 1960s-style graphics, white grille and roof | 1966-inspired grille, red accents, anniversary badges |
| Colors | Wide choice | Several ’60s-inspired colors with white roof | Wimbledon White, or Ruby Red with white roof |
| Wheels | 17-inch matte black | 17-inch white | 17-inch Gravity Gray with “1966” caps |
| Seats | Leather-trimmed/vinyl | Plaid cloth | Ebony and Alpine leather with 60th logos |
| Transmission | 10-speed automatic | 7-speed manual or 10-speed automatic | 10-speed automatic only |
| Front protection | Standard bumper | Front steel bash plates | Steel front bumper |
| Best for | Capability without a theme | Retro fun on a budget, or a manual | The most upscale retro Bronco |
The Heritage Edition is the value pick: it’s roughly $8,000 cheaper than a 60th Anniversary build, includes Sasquatch, and is the only retro Bronco you can get with a manual. The 60th Anniversary Edition costs more because it’s the more premium package, with leather, anniversary-specific details and a cleaner, classier look.
Is the Bronco 60th Anniversary Edition Worth It?
It depends on why you want it.
It’s worth it if:
- You love the look; Wimbledon White with a red-lettered grille is one of the best Bronco designs Ford has done
- You were going to buy an Outer Banks with Sasquatch anyway; the 60th package adds about $5,000 on top
- You want a leather interior with real personality, not just another black cabin
- You plan to keep it long term and enjoy owning a milestone model
Think twice if:
- You want a manual transmission; get the Heritage Edition instead
- You plan heavy off-road use; Badlands offers more trail hardware for less
- You’re buying mainly as an investment; there’s no announced production cap, and current dealer discounts show supply is healthy
Will it be a collectible?
Anniversary models tend to stay desirable, but value depends on condition and originality more than the badge. If you hope it appreciates, keep the window sticker, the build sheet and all original parts, including the anniversary spare tire cover. Avoid permanent modifications and keep a full service history. A clean, documented, unmodified example will always be the one collectors want.
Buying Tips for the Bronco 60th Anniversary Edition
- Read the window sticker line by line. Look for “60th Anniversary Package,” “Sasquatch Package,” and whether it has the Lux Package (equipment group 314A) and the 2.7L V6. Two trucks with the same badge can differ by $4,000 or more.
- Compare out-the-door prices, not MSRP. Ford rebates and dealer discounts on 2026 Broncos have been common. Get quotes from at least three dealers, including ones a few hours away.
- Decide on fuel before you buy. Ford’s horsepower ratings are measured on premium fuel, but both the 2.3L and 2.7L only require regular. You’ll get slightly less power on regular, which most owners never notice.
- Budget for 35-inch tires. Replacement rugged-terrain tires in this size cost far more than standard SUV tires, and they shorten fuel range.
- Check recalls before delivery. Run the VIN through NHTSA’s recall lookup and make sure any open campaigns are fixed before you sign.
- Keep the special parts. The anniversary spare tire cover, badges and wheels are unique to this package. If you add aftermarket parts, store the originals; they matter for resale.
- Inspect the paint and graphics. On delivery, check the Wimbledon White finish and the red bodyside graphic for scratches or bubbles from transport. It’s much easier to get fixed before you take the keys.
Doing your own Bronco maintenance?
Whether you’re swapping wheels, checking the 10-speed’s fluid or wiring trail lights, factory procedures and torque specs take the guesswork out of DIY work.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is the Ford Bronco 60th Anniversary Edition?
The 60th Anniversary Package costs $4,995, but it requires a Bronco Outer Banks ($48,090) and the Sasquatch Package (about $6,470). That’s roughly $59,555 before destination. Most trucks on dealer lots sticker between about $65,000 and $69,000 with options.
What colors does the 60th Anniversary Bronco come in?
Only two: Wimbledon White with a matching white hard top, or Ruby Red Metallic with a Wimbledon White hard top.
Is the Bronco 60th Anniversary a limited edition?
Ford hasn’t announced a production cap. It’s a package for the 2026 model year, tied to the Bronco’s 60th birthday, so it’s special, but some dealer “limited edition” labels are marketing.
Which Bronco trim gets the 60th Anniversary package?
Only the four-door Bronco Outer Banks, and only when it’s also ordered with the Sasquatch Package.
What engine does the 60th Anniversary Bronco have?
You can choose the 2.3L EcoBoost four-cylinder (300 hp, 325 lb-ft) or the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 (330 hp, 415 lb-ft). Both use a 10-speed automatic.
Does the 60th Anniversary Bronco come with a manual transmission?
No. The Outer Banks uses the 10-speed automatic. If you want a manual and a retro look, the Heritage Edition offers a 7-speed manual.
When did the Ford Bronco first come out?
Ford introduced the Bronco on August 11, 1965, as a 1966 model, which is why the 60th Anniversary Edition’s wheel caps and badges read “1966.”
What’s the difference between the Bronco Heritage Edition and the 60th Anniversary Edition?
The Heritage Edition is cheaper, has plaid cloth seats, white wheels and offers a manual. The 60th Anniversary Edition is more upscale, with two-tone leather, a 1966-inspired grille, anniversary badges and red accents, and it’s automatic only.
The Bottom Line
The Ford Bronco 60th Anniversary Edition is the most stylish way to celebrate six decades of the Bronco. It takes a capable Outer Banks with Sasquatch hardware and adds a 1966-inspired grille, “1966” wheel caps, cloisonné badges and a two-tone leather cabin that feels special every time you open the door.
It isn’t cheap, and it isn’t the best value Bronco; that title belongs to the Heritage Edition. But if you love the look and were already shopping for a loaded Outer Banks, the extra $4,995 buys a Bronco you’ll still be proud of in another 20 years. Just shop around, because dealers are discounting, and keep it original if you hope it becomes a collectible.
