Ford brings back the Baja legend, then quietly drops the two-door
Ford just rewrote the rules on its retro Bronco. The 2026 Stroppe Edition is bolder, four-door only, and somehow cheaper than the 2025 model. Here is the catch.
Ford has come back to the legend — and rewritten the rules. The 2026 Bronco Stroppe Edition leans even harder into the original Stroppe Baja Bronco, the one that became the first and only factory 4×4 to win the Baja 1000 back in 1969. The headline detail you spot from twenty meters away is the Frozen White grille with the Bronco wordmark painted in the brand’s signature Code Orange. The contrast hits you instantly and separates this version from every other Bronco in the lineup.
Orange is scattered across the truck like it was drawn from a blueprint. Code Orange covers the steel powder-coated front tow hooks, select elements of the fender flares, the door net cord, the GOAT Mode dial bezel, the interior grab handles and the seat stitching. Inside and out, the visual signal is the same.
The equipment list includes a heavy-duty Ford Performance modular bumper, an Atlas Blue hardtop, a hood and tailgate finished in matte black wrap, the Stroppe Edition graphics package, 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels and 35-inch Goodyear Territory RT tires. A bonus — removable side steps with integrated rock rails. Pull off the steps and you are left with proper rock sliders.
And now the main story. The 2026 Bronco Stroppe Edition comes in four-door form only — the two-door variant has been wiped from the lineup. Strangely enough, the trim got cheaper because of it: the starting price is $69,995 before destination, against $77,530 for the 2025 model. Ford trimmed the catalog and lowered the entry ticket at the same time. A paradox you do not often run into among 2026’s top-shelf off-roaders.
