What is the Ford 2023 Electric Vehicle lineup?

Ford 2023 Electric Vehicle

If you're considering an electric vehicle (EV) for your next car purchase, Ford has a great range of options for you to choose from. Whether you're looking for an electric truck with impressive towing and hauling capabilities, a crossover to transport your family, or a van for the job site, Ford's rapidly expanding EV lineup has it all. Here at Brewster Ford in Brewster, New York, our auto experts are on hand to answer any of your questions about Ford's new EVs or what it's like to own one. Contact us today to learn more.

Ford F-150 Lightning

The F-150 Lightning is inspired by Ford's F-150 pickup, which has proven time and again to be the most popular truck in the country for decades. With this incredibly strong starting point, Ford retains what drivers like best about the F-150 during its shift to EVs.

A four-wheel-drive electric motor system powers the F-150 Lightning. This puts out an impressive 452 horsepower in its standard configuration and increases to 580 in extended-range Lightning models. The Lightning has one electric motor for the front wheels and another for the rear wheels to give it four-wheel drive. These two motors can shift the F-150 Lightning at an incredible speed, dashing zero to 60 mph in as little as 4.5 seconds.

The standard Lightning has a driving range of 230 miles when fully charged. You can increase this to 320 miles if you upgrade to the larger battery pack offered in the extended-range model. The Lightning's towing abilities are also impressive. The standard setup can tow 5,000 pounds, while the extended version can achieve 10,000 pounds when paired with the Max Trailer Tow Package.

Inside the cabin, the Lightning offers seating for five people. Unlike some gas-powered pickups, the F-150 Lightning is available in only one cab and cargo bed configuration. The Crew cab offers plenty of headroom and legroom for adults in both rows, while the cargo bed measures 5 feet 7 inches in length.

Mustang Mach-E

Ford offers this all-electric crossover in rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive (AWD) models. The rear-wheel-drive setup has an electric motor on the rear wheels, delivering an output of 266 horsepower and a driving range of 247 miles with the standard battery pack. All-wheel drive adds a second motor to the vehicle and reduces the driving range slightly to 224 miles. The Mach-E's extended battery pack can boost your driving range to 303 miles in rear-wheel drive or 277 miles with AWD.

If you use a 240-volt outlet to charge your vehicle, also known as a Level 2 charger, it'll take between 12 and 15 hours to fully charge the Mach-E. You can access 240-volt chargers at a public charging site or by installing one at your home.

The Mach-E has a spacious cabin for you and your passengers to ride in. Both rows of seats are well suited for tall passengers, and there's also equipment for installing child seating in the rear row. Behind the second row of seats, you'll find over 29 cubic feet of cargo space. If you're transporting bulkier items, you can fold down the rear row to open up close to 60 cubic feet in your storage area.

While the F-150 Lightning impresses with its towing abilities, the Mach-E stands out with an impressive infotainment system. Even base models have a huge 15.5-inch touchscreen paired with a six-speaker stereo. Other features include wireless device charging, Bluetooth connectivity, and a 10.2-inch digital gauge cluster. You can upgrade to a 10-speaker stereo for even better performance.

Ford E-Transit

The E-Transit van is an all-electric version of the Transit commercial van. Ford aimed the first versions of this van at commercial cargo carriers, but some reports have suggested that it may offer a passenger version in the coming years.

The E-Transit has a driving range of 126 miles. Its power train consists of an electric motor and a 67 kWh battery pack that puts out 266 horsepower. If you'd like an all-electric vehicle for hauling large items to work or delivering equipment to your clients, the E-Transit should be at the top of your list.

Ford Hybrid Vehicles

If you don't want to opt for an all-electric vehicle, remember that some of Ford's most popular models are available with a hybrid power train. Hybrid vehicles combine the benefits of an electric motor, which include improved fuel economy, with the support of a gasoline engine, so you don't have to worry about driving range and charging your battery.

Ford offers Explorer and Escape crossovers with a hybrid powertrain. The Explorer is the larger of the two models, providing a third row of seating for additional passenger capacity. The Escape is a two-row crossover that does the job on the daily commute or for city driving.

Ford EV Plans

Ford has big ambitions for its EV sales over the next year. By late 2023, the automaker intends to sell 600,000 all-electric vehicles worldwide. This will include 270,000 Mach-E crossovers, 150,000 each of the F-150 Lightning and E-Transit, and 30,000 units of a new SUV for the European market.

This is just the first step in a transformational plan that will see Ford invest $50 billion in EV production. The goal is to have EVs account for half of its global production by 2030, with the company hoping to produce 2 million units worldwide by 2026. Over the longer term, Ford intends for its vehicles to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050.

Black 2027 Ford Expedition Platinum

Family First: Inside the Refreshed 2027 Ford Expedition Interior & Safety Tech

Family road trips look different in Putnam County than they do almost anywhere else. Between carpool runs to soccer practice, weekend hauls to the Adirondacks, and grocery loads that never seem to fit right, families need a vehicle that keeps pace with real life. The 2027 Ford Expedition interior was built with exactly that in mind, and it's worth a closer look before you browse 2027 Ford Expedition inventory or schedule a test drive at our Brewster showroom. A Family-Focused Refresh: What's New Inside the 2027 Ford Expedition The 2027 Expedition doesn't reinvent itself from the ground up, but Ford made a handful of updates that matter to families. The headline change is the new 30th Anniversary Appearance Package, available exclusively on the Expedition Platinum. It adds special badging and 22-inch Ebony-painted wheels, plus a Blue Ember Metallic paint option that gives the SUV a distinct look on the road. Beyond that styling package, the core of the Ford Expedition interior carries forward the strengths from the prior redesign, polished up rather than overhauled. Families already familiar with the Expedition lineup, including Active, Platinum, Tremor, King Ranch, and the longer-body MAX variants, will find a cabin that feels familiar but a bit sharper. Comfort and connected tech get continued attention, and the driver-assist safety features remain a focus throughout. Spacious 3-Row Seating Built for Brewster Families Flexible Second- and Third-Row Configurations Every family has a different idea of the "right" seating setup, and the Expedition gives you room to choose. The 40/20/40 second-row bench seat accommodates up to 8 occupants, which works well for carpools packed with teammates after practice. Families who prefer more separation between siblings can opt for second-row captain's chairs, which seat 7 total. On the MAX Platinum, seating flexes between 7 or 8 depending on how you configure the cabin. The third row uses a standard 40/20/40 PowerFold® design with power recline, and it folds flat when you need the space back for cargo instead of passengers. That flexibility matters when one weekend calls for hauling the whole travel team and the next calls for hauling mulch from the garden center. Comfort Features for Every Carpool and Road Trip Comfort scales as you move up the lineup, but the basics don't. Tri-zone automatic temperature control and third-row auxiliary climate controls are standard on every trim, so nobody in row three is negotiating with the driver over the vents. A heated steering wheel is standard from the Tremor up and optional on Active. From there it separates. Heated and ventilated front seats and heated second-row captain's chairs with PowerFold arrive on the upper trims, and King Ranch alone gets the Mesa and Ebony interior with Del Rio leather on the seats, console, doors, and steering wheel. Ambient lighting, a universal garage door opener, memory mirrors, and Pro Power Onboard all come standard from the Tremor up. For families who want to rethink how the front cabin works, the available Flex Powered Console slides to create a more open, connected space up front, and certain configurations allow seating for up to 8 total occupants. It's a small detail, but for parents constantly passing snacks and water bottles back and forth, that kind of flexibility adds up. Cargo Versatility for Life in Putnam County The Power Split Gate: Smarter Loading for Sports Gear & Groceries If you've ever tried to wrestle a soccer bag, a folding table, and three grocery bags through a single tailgate opening, you'll appreciate what Ford built here. The available Power Split Gate splits into powered upper and lower sections, with a combined loading capacity of up to 500 pounds. The lower gate doubles as a loading platform or even a seat, which comes in handy at Friday night football games or field hockey tournaments when gear needs sorting before it all goes in the back. An available Open On Approach feature lets the gate sense you coming with your hands full, and the optional Cargo Tailgate Manager adds a fold-out shelf or table rated for 35 pounds, useful for tailgating or quick roadside organization. Adventure-Ready Space for Adirondack Getaways Cargo room in the Expedition scales across the lineup rather than being locked to a single trim. Behind the third row, you'll find 22.9 cubic feet in the standard-body Expedition and 37.4 cubic feet in the Expedition MAX. Behind the second row, that grows to 69.9 cubic feet standard and 84.5 cubic feet in the MAX. Fold every row down, and total cargo space reaches 108.5 cubic feet in the standard Expedition and 123.1 cubic feet in the MAX. The Expedition MAX runs roughly a foot longer than the standard model, which makes a real difference if you're hauling plywood for a home project or strapping in kayaks for a weekend on the water. Towing a boat or camper up toward the Adirondacks is no problem either; the Expedition can handle up to 9,600 pounds when properly equipped, giving families real flexibility for bigger adventures. Before you settle on a configuration, it's worth exploring your financing options or asking about certified pre-owned alternatives if you want Expedition capability at a different price point. Our team can walk you through what fits your budget and your family's hauling habits. Standard 24-Inch Panoramic Display & Connected Technology Every 2027 Expedition, starting with the Active trim, comes with a 24-inch panoramic display as part of the Ford Digital Experience, paired with a 13.2-inch center display for infotainment and navigation. It's a standard feature across the lineup rather than something reserved for the top trims, so every family gets the same connected foundation regardless of which configuration they choose. Wireless Apple CarPlay comes standard, along with four USB-C ports up front, two in the media hub and two in the instrument panel. Third-row USB ports come standard from the Tremor up but aren't offered on Active or MAX Active, so if you regularly have teenagers in the back row, that's a reason to look past the base trim. A 360-degree camera and front and rear parking sensors are standard lineup-wide, which makes school pickup and crowded shopping center lots noticeably easier. Higher trims add 360-degree Zone Lighting from the headlamps, roof rails, liftgate, and spoiler, useful for illuminating the driveway on early winter mornings. Hands-Free Confidence with BlueCruise Driving Tech Long highway stretches, whether you're heading toward the Adirondacks or just commuting across Westchester County, are where BlueCruise really pays off. Ford's hands-free driving technology works within mapped "Blue Zones," which cover 97% of controlled-access highways across the U.S. and Canada. A driver-facing camera continuously monitors eye position, so it's worth being clear: hands-free doesn't mean eyes-free. Drivers still need to stay alert and watch the road. Here's the part worth knowing: Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering, Predictive Speed Assist, and Stop & Go is standard on every 2027 Expedition, right down to the Active. You don't climb the trim ladder to get it. What changes by trim is BlueCruise. Tremor and Platinum come BlueCruise-equipped with a 90-day trial. King Ranch steps up to a full one-year plan plus the 90-day trial included. On the Active, BlueCruise is available rather than standard, and a one-time seven-year purchase is offered across the lineup if you'd rather buy it outright than subscribe. Ford Co-Pilot360® Assist 2.0: Quick-Reference Safety Checklist Safety technology is a strong focus across the 2027 Expedition lineup, though feature availability varies by model and trim. Here's what comes standard with Ford Co-Pilot360® Assist 2.0: Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering, Predictive Speed Assist, and Stop & Go holds your following distance and keeps you centered on I-84 Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, Pedestrian Detection, Forward Collision Warning, and Dynamic Brake Support BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert and Trailer Coverage extends blind-spot monitoring the length of a trailer Lane-Keeping System with Lane-Keeping Alert, Driver Alert, and Road Edge Detection 360-degree camera with front and rear parking sensors Reverse Brake Assist for tight reverse maneuvers Pro Trailer Backup Assist steers the trailer with a dial instead of the wheel Auto High-Beam Headlamps Safety Canopy System with curtain airbags across all three rows Every item on this list is standard on all seven configurations, from Active to MAX King Ranch. This suite of safety features is a big part of why so many Putnam County families feel comfortable putting the Expedition on daily carpool duty. Why Brewster Families Choose the 2027 Expedition Families across Putnam, Fairfield, Dutchess, and Westchester counties keep coming back to the Expedition for a few clear reasons. Configurations That Match Real Family Life Most three-row SUVs give you one seating layout and expect you to adapt. The Expedition gives you a real choice. The 40/20/40 second-row bench puts eight people in the vehicle, which is what a full carpool actually looks like after practice. Second-row captain's chairs drop that to seven but make third-row access dramatically easier, which matters more if a kid is climbing back there twice a day than if you're filling every seat twice a year. Add the MAX body and you're choosing again, this time between standard length that still fits a Brewster garage and 14 extra cubic feet behind the third row. Most families land on one of those four combinations pretty quickly once they've sat in them. Standard Safety, No Upsell This one holds up under scrutiny. Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, BLIS with Cross-Traffic Alert and Trailer Coverage, the Lane-Keeping System with Road Edge Detection, Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Centering and Stop & Go, Reverse Brake Assist, a 360-degree camera, and front and rear parking sensors are all standard on every 2027 Expedition, from the Active to the MAX King Ranch. Plenty of competitors reserve adaptive cruise or blind-spot monitoring for the second or third trim up. Ford doesn't, which means the safety equipment your family rides with isn't a budget decision.

Blue 2027 Ford Explorer

Inside the 2027 Ford Explorer: Top Family-Friendly Cabin Features

Family SUVs live or die by what happens inside the cabin, not the horsepower number on a spec sheet. The 2027 Explorer carries forward the cabin Ford overhauled for 2025, which is good news if you liked it and worth a close look if you haven't sat in one since. It's built around real family logistics: sports gear in the back, school pickup lines, long stretches on I-684 with everyone buckled in. If you're weighing it against your current ride, the 2027 Ford Explorer interior features are where it has to prove itself. Browse our current inventory of family SUVs while we walk through what's inside. What's New Inside the 2027 Ford Explorer The 2027 Explorer carries forward the cabin Ford overhauled for 2025, with pricing now published across all five trims: Active from $38,465, ST-Line from $44,200, Tremor from $49,200, Platinum from $50,660, and ST from $53,660. The Ford Security Package comes standard on Active, and a new Sinister appearance package joins the ST. Inside, the story is choice. Five trims span cloth, Miko Suede, ActiveX, and leather, with ten available packages layered on top. A Platinum build with massaging front seats and leather inserts sits in the same lineup as a work-ready Active, sharing the same three-row layout and the same 13.2-inch Ford Digital Experience screen. Seating Built for Putnam County Families Getting kids, gear, and grandparents in and out of an SUV without a hassle matters more than most spec sheets let on. The Explorer's seating strategy is built around that reality. E-Z Entry Captain's Chairs vs. 35/30/35 Bench Seating Most 2027 Explorer trims start with six-passenger seating, meaning second-row captain's chairs with E-Z Entry and armrests. The exception is ST-Line, which comes with the 35/30/35 bench as standard. Going the other way, the seven-passenger bench is available on every trim except Tremor, so a Tremor buyer is locked into six seats. That's the first fork in the road for a family shopping this lineup. Captain's chairs make third-row access dramatically easier, which matters if a kid is climbing back there twice a day. The bench adds a seventh seat, which matters if you run a carpool. Decide that before you fall for a trim, because on ST-Line and Tremor the choice is partly made for you. Second and Third Row Access and Legroom All 2027 Explorer models come with a third row, built as a 50-50 split bench that folds flat into the floor. For families who fold and unfold seats constantly between soccer practice and Costco runs, Ford's PowerFold third row is a genuine time-saver, dropping the seats with a single button press from the cargo area. It's standard on ST and Platinum and available on Tremor. Here's how the space breaks down: Head room: 40.7" first row / 40.5" second row / 38.9" third row Leg room: 43" first row / 37.5" second row / 31.8" third row Seating: six standard on most trims, seven with the available bench Third row: 50-50 split, folds flat, PowerFold on ST and Platinum Materials shift by trim as well. Active gets heated cloth, ST-Line adds unique cloth with red stitching, Tremor and ST step up to heated and ventilated Miko Suede, and Platinum runs ActiveX with leather inserts. Third-row leg room at 31.8 inches is honest for the class: fine for kids on the ride to a rink in Brewster, tight for adults on a run to Danbury. Comfort Features for Long I-684 Commutes Anyone who commutes from Putnam County toward Danbury, Connecticut, or south through Westchester County knows that comfort features stop being a luxury and start being a necessity after the first hour in traffic. Multicontour Front Seats with Active Motion® Massage Multicontour front seats with Active Motion massage come standard on Platinum and are optional on Tremor and ST. For parents doing the daily grind on I-684, this is the feature that earns its keep after the first hour, working the lower back while you sit still in traffic. Platinum also gets heated, ventilated seats with leather inserts as standard, and the available Platinum Ultimate Package adds the 3.0L V6, premium leather-trimmed seating, unique 21-inch wheels, and a chrome quad-tipped exhaust. The panoramic Vista Roof with power shade is optional on every trim. Tri-Zone Climate Control Tri-zone electronic automatic temperature control is standard on every 2027 Explorer, from the Active up. Driver, front passenger, and rear rows each get their own setting, which matters more than it sounds when you've got a toddler who runs hot and a teenager who runs cold in the same vehicle. Rear auxiliary climate control, which adds a dedicated control panel back there rather than routing everything through the front, is standard from ST-Line up and optional on Active. Ford Digital Experience and Cabin Technology Tech expectations have shifted fast, and family buyers increasingly judge an SUV by how well it keeps kids occupied and parents connected on the road. Schedule a test drive and get a firsthand look at the Explorer's digital layout. 13.2-Inch Touchscreen and Digital Instrument Cluster Standard on the Active trim and up, the 13.2-inch touchscreen runs on the Ford Digital Experience platform, giving you a large, clear interface for navigation, media, and vehicle settings. Ford Co-Pilot360 driver-assist technology is standard across the lineup, including adaptive cruise control on the Active. What varies is the camera and sensor package: the 360-degree camera with split view, front parking sensors, and reverse brake assist are standard from ST-Line up but aren't offered on the Active at all. If parking-lot confidence is high on your list, that's the reason to start at ST-Line. Connectivity and Charging for the Whole Family The 2027 Explorer is equipped with a 5G modem and wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, so phones connect without hunting for a cable. Families who want more can add the available Ford Connectivity Package, which includes unlimited Wi-Fi for streaming, podcasts, karaoke, Google Maps, video, and games while parked, active for one year from the vehicle's warranty start date. The built-in hotspot supports up to 10 devices within a 50-foot range, which comfortably covers a packed road trip. Active and ST-Line get three 12-volt power points, one each in the first row, second row, and cargo area, while Tremor, ST, and Platinum run two, in the first row and cargo area. Sound system options range from a B&O 10-speaker setup, standard on ST-Line, up to a 980-watt 14-speaker system, both including a subwoofer and Sound Stage, a fabric-wrapped acoustic sound bar. Cargo and Storage Space for Weekend Trips to Brewster Weekend trips into Brewster, whether for hiking near the Hudson Valley or a quick run down Route 22, tend to come loaded with strollers and coolers and whatever gear bag didn't make it out of the trunk last time. The Explorer's cargo numbers vary by trim, so it's worth knowing which one applies to the configuration you're considering. Trim-Specific Maximum Cargo Volume Cargo volume shifts slightly by trim, and it's worth knowing which number applies to the configuration you're looking at: Behind the third row: 16.3 cu ft on every trim Behind the second row: 46 cu ft on every trim Maximum, both rows folded: 85.8 cu ft on Active and ST-Line, 85.3 cu ft on Tremor, ST, and Platinum That 16.3 figure is the one to pay attention to, since it's what you have with all seven seats occupied. It handles a week of groceries or a couple of duffel bags, but a full carpool plus everyone's hockey bags will mean folding a third-row seat. The 46 cubic feet behind the second row is the everyday configuration for most families, and that's where the Explorer is genuinely roomy. Everyday Storage Solutions The big cargo number matters less on a Tuesday than where the small stuff goes. The Explorer handles that well: Underfloor storage bin behind the third row, useful for the jumper cables and the emergency kit you don't want sliding around Reversible cargo cover with a non-carpeted side, so muddy cleats and wet gear go on the wipeable surface Cargo hooks standard on every trim for bags that would otherwise tip over on the first turn Center console with armrest and storage bin, standard across the lineup, leather-covered on Platinum Dome and map lights in all three rows, so nobody's hunting for a dropped water bottle in the dark Overhead console with sunglasses holder Available cargo area management system and a folding soft-sided organizer, both dealer-installed options The reversible cover is the one families notice after the fact. If your weekends involve a field in October, it's the difference between hosing something off and shampooing your cargo carpet. Standard Ford Co-Pilot360® Safety Technology Safety technology is where the Explorer lineup does a lot of heavy lifting, though it's important to understand which pieces come standard and which are trim-dependent. The core Ford Co-Pilot360® suite includes Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert, a Lane-Keeping System, a Rear View Camera, and Auto High-Beam Headlamps. These appear across multiple trims, including Active, though availability isn't uniform across the entire lineup. Families who want more can look at available premium add-ons, including Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop & Go and Lane Centering, Evasive Steering Assist, and Post-Collision Braking. There's also an available camera system offering front, rear, side, and top-down views with a split-view display active under 6 mph, handy for tight parking lots outside a school or rink. These features vary by trim, so it's worth checking exactly what comes with the configuration you're looking at rather than assuming everything is standard.

2026 Ford Bronco driving off-road

2026 Ford Bronco Drivetrain Options Explained: 4×4 Choices & Trail Tech

Picking the right 4x4 setup on a 2026 Ford Bronco isn't just a spec-sheet decision. It changes how the truck feels on an icy I-84 on-ramp, and it changes how it handles a rock ledge near Nimham Mountain. If you're weighing 2026 Ford Bronco drivetrain options, we want to break down what each system actually does before you commit to a trim. You can schedule a test drive at Brewster Ford while you read through the details below. Why the 2026 Ford Bronco's Drivetrain Matters for Hudson Valley Drivers Hudson Valley driving throws a lot at a vehicle. One week you're scraping ice off the windshield before an I-84 commute, the next you're bouncing down an unpaved access road in Putnam or Dutchess County. Ford built the Bronco's drivetrain lineup with that in mind, offering a part-time system for daily-driver trims and a more capable on-demand setup for trims aimed at off-road use. Knowing the difference helps you match the truck to how you actually drive, not just how it looks in a brochure. Part-Time 4x4: The Foundation for Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, and Heritage Edition Trims Ford equips the Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, and Heritage Edition trims with a part-time 4x4 system built around a 2-speed electronic shift-on-the-fly (ESOF) transfer case. There's no automatic mode here. The driver manually selects between: 2H, for standard two-wheel-drive street driving. 4H, for added traction at higher speeds on snow or wet pavement. 4L, for low-range power during slow, technical situations. This setup rewards drivers who want simplicity and a direct feel for when four-wheel drive is engaged. How Part-Time 4x4 Handles Snowy I-84 Commutes When snow starts falling on I-84, part-time 4x4 asks a little more of the driver. Shifting into 4H before conditions worsen gives the Bronco added grip through slush and packed snow, and dropping into 4L handles a steep, snow-covered driveway with ease. Since there's no automatic engagement, drivers stay actively involved in choosing the right mode, which suits commuters who prefer predictable, manual control over their traction settings. Advanced 4x4 with Available Sasquatch Package: Badlands and Above Step up to Badlands or Raptor, and the Bronco comes standard with an advanced 4x4 system that adds automatic on-demand engagement through a 4-Auto mode. This same system is available as an option on Base, Big Bend, and Outer Banks trims, giving buyers on those trims a path to more capability without jumping to a higher trim. Badlands stands out since it's the only trim below Raptor that comes with front and rear electronic-locking differentials standard, without needing the Sasquatch Package at all. Automatic On-Demand Engagement Explained The system's electromechanical 2-speed transfer case offers four drive modes plus Neutral. In 4-Auto mode, it continuously varies power to the front wheels, reading terrain conditions in real time and sending torque forward without the driver needing to shift anything manually. That means less guesswork on a mixed-surface drive, whether you hit pavement, gravel, or mud in the same trip. The Sasquatch Package and Front/Rear Locking Differentials A locking differential forces both wheels on an axle to spin at the same speed, which keeps power going to the wheel with traction instead of the one that's spinning freely. Badlands and Raptor get front and rear lockers standard. On any other trim, adding the Sasquatch Package brings both front and rear lockers as well, along with the Advanced 4x4 system (including 4-Auto), 17-inch matte-black alloy wheels, a 4.70 final-drive axle ratio, high-clearance suspension and fender flares, LT315/70R17 Rugged-Terrain tires, and position-sensitive Bilstein shocks. It's built on the HOSS suspension system (offered in four tiers, 1.0 through 4.0) and delivers up to 11.6 inches of ground clearance on two-door models. Sasquatch is available on every trim except Raptor, where the equivalent hardware is already standard, and it's the least expensive way to add lockers outside of Raptor. Worth noting: Base, and the standard versions of Big Bend and Outer Banks, run open differentials, so keep that in mind if locking capability matters to your typical routes. G.O.A.T. Modes™: Matching Terrain Management to the Trail Ahead G.O.A.T. is short for Goes Over Any Type of Terrain, Ford's name for the Bronco's terrain management system. Turning the dial adjusts throttle mapping, shift points, traction control, and locker behavior all at once. Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, and Heritage Edition trims get five modes: Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, and Sand. Badlands and Raptor swap in Off-Road, Rock Crawl, and Baja for a total of seven G.O.A.T. Modes, with Rock Crawl holding low gears and fine-tuning throttle response for maximum mechanical 4WD engagement over obstacles. Trail Tech That Sets the Bronco Apart Several of the Bronco's most useful trail features depend on the 10-speed automatic transmission, which is why they're not universal across every build combination. Understanding which technology pairs with which trim and engine helps you avoid surprises after you've already ordered. Trail Turn Assist for Tighter Turns Near Nimham Mountain Trail Turn Assist™ reduces the Bronco's turning radius by braking the inside rear wheel during slow, sharp-angle maneuvers. It's activated through a hero switch on the dash and works below 12 mph, with the rear differential unlocked and the steering wheel turned near its limit. On a technical trail with a tight switchback, that's the difference between a three-point turn and a clean pivot. With roughly 10 miles of trails and unpaved access roads at Nimham Mountain Multiple Use Area, this feature comes in handy a lot closer to home than you'd expect. Trail Control for Confident Low-Speed Crawling Trail Control™ works like a low-speed, off-road version of cruise control. Engage it through the button on the center-console G.O.A.T. dial, set your pace, and the system manages throttle and braking so you can focus entirely on steering around whatever the trail throws at your tires. Pair it with the 2.7L EcoBoost V6, and you also get access to Trail One-Pedal Drive, a related feature exclusive to that engine where the accelerator alone controls speed and releasing it brings the Bronco to a controlled stop. Electronic Sway Bar Disconnect for Maximum Articulation The electronic sway bar disconnect is standard on First Edition and Badlands, and it's also available when you add the Sasquatch Package to other trims. Below 20 mph, the system disconnects the sway bar and shows an amber dash indicator, letting the suspension flex more freely for better wheel articulation over uneven ground. Climb back above 20 mph, and it automatically reconnects, switching the indicator to gray standby. That balance of trail flex and highway stability is part of what makes serious articulation possible without sacrificing on-road manners. Choosing the Right 4x4 System for Your Hudson Valley Adventures If your routine leans mostly toward I-84 commuting with the occasional trail outing thrown in, part-time 4x4 on a Big Bend or Outer Banks trim covers nearly everything you'll need, and it keeps things simple. If you're regularly heading out toward rougher terrain near Nimham Mountain, the advanced 4x4 system with the Sasquatch Package on a Badlands adds the lockers, terrain modes, and clearance that make a real difference on technical ground. Either way, matching your drivetrain to how you actually drive means fewer surprises and a build that works across Putnam, Fairfield, Dutchess, and Westchester counties. Engine choice works alongside your drivetrain pick. The 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 is standard at 300 hp, the 2.7L EcoBoost V6 is available at 330 hp and unlocks Trail One-Pedal Drive, and the 3.0L high-output EcoBoost V6 is standard on Raptor at 418 hp, the top output in the 2026 Bronco lineup. All three pair with the 10-speed automatic transmission.
