HOME OF PARKS PLUS WITH NATIONWIDE LIFETIME POWERTRAIN WARRANTY.

The most important Bronco Sport Badlands hardware is the stuff you cannot see from across the parking lot. This 2026 model pairs a 2.0L EcoBoost engine with an 8-speed automatic, a twin-clutch rear drive unit and a seven-mode Terrain Management System. Trail Control with 1-Pedal Drive adds another layer of control when speeds drop and the surface gets rough. Around Dade City, Zephyrhills or the sandy and uneven roads farther north toward Brooksville, that is the equipment that separates a Badlands from a Bronco Sport built mainly for pavement.

Ford backs it with the protection and recovery pieces you want when the route gets less predictable: a bash plate, front recovery hooks and a steel-plated front bumper. The rear seatbacks, cargo floor and cabin flooring are rubberized, so muddy shoes, wet gear and beach sand are easier to deal with after the fun is over. A flood light at the adjustable liftgate helps once daylight disappears, while the flip-up rear glass gives you quick access to the cargo area without opening the entire liftgate.

Velocity Blue Metallic gives this one plenty of personality, especially against the painted black roof and 17-inch matte black-painted aluminum wheels. LED fog lamps, LED headlamps and rear privacy glass finish the exterior without making it look overdone. Parks Plus adds protection that makes sense for Florida ownership, including paint protection, rain repellent, headlight protection and nitrogen tire serviceuseful whether this Bronco Sport spends the week in New Tampa traffic or the weekend coated in road dust.

The cabin moves well beyond basic utility. Dark Space Gray leather-trimmed seating, heated front seats, a premium-wrapped steering wheel and paddle shifters make the Badlands feel more finished from the driver's seat. The 60/40 split-folding rear seat and under-seat storage give you several ways to organize passengers and gear, while smart-charging USB ports and the illuminated entry system handle the small conveniences that matter every day. The Badlands Tech Package is included on this build as well.

A 13.2-inch SYNC 4 display anchors the technology, joined by a digital cluster and Ford Co-Pilot360 Assist 2.0. Intelligent access with push-button start, remote keyless entry and the rear-view camera make the daily routine simpler around Wesley Chapel and Land O Lakes. Ford app capability is supported through the included one-year Connectivity Package, and the one-year Secure Package adds another connected ownership benefit. SiriusXM with 360L includes the listed three-month trial.

Pro Power Onboard supplies 400 watts for smaller devices and equipment away from a wall outlet. That can mean charging electronics at a campsite, powering smaller accessories during a day outdoors or simply having another source of power available when the vehicle is parked. It is a small feature on the sticker that can become surprisingly useful once you start using the Bronco Sport for more than commuting.

The EPA rates this configuration at 23 MPG combined, with 21 city and 27 highway, so the extra Badlands capability does not turn everyday Tampa Bay driving into a full-size-SUV commitment. Every new vehicle from Parks Ford of Wesley Chapel also includes our Lifetime Powertrain Warranty.

This one makes its case through balance: real Badlands traction hardware, washable-minded interior materials, compact dimensions for daily use, and enough comfort and technology to make the drive home feel completely different from the trail that got you dirty.
