2026 Ford Bronco Australia buyers guide, right hand drive trims, engines, 2 door and 4 door
For years Australians have watched the Ford Bronco tearing across Moab slickrock and Baja sand, waiting for a real path to own that same capability here. In 2026, that becomes reality. Autogroup International is introducing the Ford Bronco to Australia in right hand drive, built to order, engineered to Australian expectations, and backed by a full vehicle warranty (5 year, unlimited kilometre in Australia including 24/7 roadside assistance).
This guide explains how to choose your Bronco the smart way. We cover body styles, engines, trims and factory packages, and how Autogroup International delivers a mirror image right hand drive Bronco that you can daily drive in the city and point at the Victorian High Country or the Pilbara on the weekend.
Just like we do with other large American SUVs and performance trucks we convert to right hand drive, including GMC Yukon XL, Chevrolet Tahoe, Dodge Durango, Hummer EV SUV and more, we are not simply relocating a steering wheel. We design, engineer and manufacture critical components, complete the conversion in our ISO 9001:2015 environment, validate the vehicle on road, and ensure ADR compliance for Australia. The goal is simple: keep authentic Bronco character, meet Australian refinement and safety expectations, and support you long term.
Autogroup International has delivered more than 5,000 vehicles in right hand drive over the past 30+ years, and operates with a team of about 250 specialists across Australia, Sri Lanka, North America and the United Kingdom. That scale and experience is what protects you on day one and in year ten.
Although this article is written for Australia, we also supply Bronco in right hand drive to other right hand drive regions, particularly in Asia and Africa, using the same engineering workflow, documentation and aftersales model.
What makes the Bronco special
Bronco is a classic ladder frame 4×4 reimagined for modern life. You can choose a two door body or a four door body. Both offer removable roof panels and removable doors, upright visibility, proper low range gearing and serious trail hardware. Ford’s HOSS suspension program was developed to handle both high speed rough road control and slow rock crawl articulation, and each Bronco trim has its own suspension tune.
Inside, the cabin blends glove friendly physical switchgear with a modern infotainment stack. The driving position is upright and intentional, built so you can read ruts, crests and traffic. On Australian secondary roads that are long, broken and corrugated, Bronco feels planted instead of nervous.
Two door or four door
Two door Bronco keeps the classic short wheelbase stance. It is lighter on its feet in tight terrain, which suits solo exploring or a couple’s weekend away.
Four door Bronco adds easier rear seat access, more second row legroom and a much larger cargo space. That extra wheelbase also settles the body over corrugations and loaded touring weight, which matters in remote Australia. Roof sections and doors can be removed on both body styles for proper open air driving.
Engines and drivetrains
Ford offers three turbocharged EcoBoost engines in the Bronco program. All can be paired with a 10 speed automatic transmission, and in selected configurations the 2.3 litre can also be ordered with a 7 speed manual, which appeals to purists. Your engine choice should match how you will actually use the vehicle.
The 2.3 litre EcoBoost inline four is the smart all rounder for everyday driving, touring and lighter accessories. It delivers useful low rpm torque and is widely available across multiple trims.
The 2.7 litre EcoBoost V6 is the step up for buyers planning long beach runs, more towing and heavier accessory fitment. The extra muscle makes overtakes easier when you are carrying gear, and it suits people who will add protection, communications gear, fridge power and camping drawers.
The 3.0 litre EcoBoost V6 is exclusive to Bronco Raptor. It is tuned for sustained high load work, high speed dune running and serious suspension travel. If you want maximum thermal headroom and chassis control, this is it.
Every Bronco we deliver into Australia is configured one to one with the customer before we build it. We lock in body style, engine, colour and factory options, then we engineer and manufacture the right hand drive components, convert the vehicle, and complete a multi stage quality and compliance process. Typical order to keys timing is about six months, which includes specification, conversion, quality checks and delivery.
Bronco trims explained for Australia
There are six Bronco flavours we recommend for Australia. Each one can then be tailored with packages such as Sasquatch or Black Appearance, roof type, underbody protection, touring electrics and storage.
Big Bend
Big Bend is the ideal starting point if you want a daily driver that can still handle real tracks. It upgrades convenience features, wheels and tyres over the base vehicle, and it takes to the Sasquatch Package later if you decide you want the taller stance and 35 inch tyre look.
Outer Banks
Outer Banks leans into comfort and coastal style. You get premium interior touches and more tech while keeping proper four wheel drive hardware. If you commute during the week and air down on the weekend, this is a sweet spot.
Badlands
Badlands is the hardware forward choice for tough tracks and serious touring. This suits buyers who want to head remote, carry gear and tow smaller toys, but still want confidence and refinement on the highway. Pair Badlands with the 2.7 litre V6, modular hard top, proper skid protection and a tailored power and storage setup, and you have a smart Australian touring platform.
Heritage Edition
Heritage Edition brings first generation Bronco retro styling, matched with modern safety, drivability and comfort. It is for people who love classic Bronco visuals but will not compromise on airbags, stability systems, cameras and cabin tech.
Stroppe Edition
Stroppe Edition is a racing inspired special. It is available with HOSS 3.0 suspension and FOX dampers tuned for rough track speed and control. Think Baja attitude and real heat management, without going all the way to the extreme Bronco Raptor wide track stance.
Bronco Raptor
Bronco Raptor is the flagship. It runs a wide track suspension layout, heavy duty axles, a reinforced frame and the 3.0 litre EcoBoost V6. This is a dune runner and high speed desert tool that still behaves in school traffic. Raptor is four door only and sits on serious off road tyres. If you want maximum suspension travel, heat management and headroom for abuse, this is it.
How Autogroup International builds your Australian right hand drive Bronco
Autogroup International is Australia’s leading end to end right hand drive engineering, design, automotive component manufacturing and conversion company. We have delivered more than 5,000 vehicles over three decades, we operate with about 250 specialists across Australia, Sri Lanka, North America and the UK, and we supply vehicles into more than 40 right hand drive countries worldwide.
That capability matters for Bronco owners in Australia because it affects how the vehicle feels when you pick it up, and how it holds up in year ten.
The process is straightforward:
1. We consult with you to lock in body style (two door or four door), engine (2.3 litre, 2.7 litre or 3.0 litre where applicable), exterior colour, roof style and key factory options such as Sasquatch Package, modular hard top, HOSS suspension and interior trim level. You are not stuck with a pre selected spec. You build your Bronco.
2. We engineer and manufacture the mirror image right hand drive components, complete the conversion in our ISO 9001:2015 environment and verify ADR compliance.
3. We run a multi stage quality process that covers fit, finish and function, then complete delivery. Typical order to delivery timing is about six months.
Your Bronco is backed in Australia by our 5 year, unlimited kilometre warranty with 24/7 roadside assistance, plus national service coverage and an on the ground parts pipeline to keep you moving.
For buyers in other right hand drive countries across Asia and Africa, we provide the same core engineering and build process, along with region appropriate compliance documentation and aftersales support.
Which Bronco is right for me
If you want a daily driver that can handle weekend trails, start with Big Bend or Outer Banks with the 2.3 litre engine. Add Sasquatch if you want the taller 35 inch tyre stance and upgraded off road hardware.
If you plan remote touring and you will tow smaller toys, Badlands with the 2.7 litre V6 is a strong balance. Add the modular hard top, proper skid protection and a tailored storage and power system so you can actually live out of the back.
If you want retro cool without giving up comfort and safety, Heritage Edition is your vibe.
If you want high speed rough track control and proper heat management in Australian conditions but you do not necessarily want the full wide track Bronco Raptor stance, Stroppe Edition with HOSS 3.0 is the smart answer.
If you want maximum suspension travel, maximum cooling headroom and the most capability Bronco offers from factory, Bronco Raptor is your pick.
