Overview: The Bronco RTR Price Range
The Bronco RTR price now has a range. Ford says the 2027 Bronco RTR starts a bit over $50,000, while a fully equipped one lands under $60,000. Neither figure includes destination or delivery.
Ford posted the numbers on its Bronco RTR specs page on October 5, 2026. The page also opens a multi-week rollout of the 2027 Bronco lineup. Ford gave ranges instead of exact MSRPs, so final sticker prices are still to come.
The RTR is the second chapter of Ford’s collaboration with RTR Vehicles, which began with the 2026 Mustang RTR. Ford positions the new SUV for high-speed desert driving. For background, we covered RTR Vehicles’ new headquarters in July. Below, see what the range includes, what Ford has not said, and how the RTR compares with a Badlands.
Ford aims the RTR at high-speed desert driving, so tire pressure matters on soft sand. Also, a 12V air compressor, tire deflator and plug repair kit suit 33-inch and 35-inch tires.

Bronco RTR Price and Order Timing
Ford defines the starting figure as the MSRP of the base vehicle. It excludes destination and delivery, taxes, fees and optional equipment. The top figure covers a fully specified RTR. It adds the Hyper Lime appearance package, the Sasquatch upgrade with RTR Suspension and the RTR Appearance Graphics Package.
At the January debut, Ford said order banks would open in fall 2026, with sales starting in early 2027. However, Ford has not posted an exact order date, so check with your dealer.
| Key Fact | Details |
|---|---|
| Starting MSRP | A bit over $50,000, before destination |
| Fully equipped | Under $60,000, before destination |
| Engine | 2.3L EcoBoost, RTR calibration with anti-lag |
| Standard tires | 33-inch, on 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels |
| Sasquatch with RTR Suspension | 35-inch tires, HOSS 3.0 dampers, Ford Racing front bumper |
| Sales start | Early 2027 |
| Not on Ford’s page | Exact MSRP, horsepower, torque, clearance |
What the Standard Bronco RTR Includes
Ford says the base RTR arrives ready for the trail without a long list of add-ons. The standard suspension is a wide-track HOSS 1.0 setup, which pairs a lift with 33-inch tires. Notably, Ford calls the combination new for the Bronco.
The engine is the 2.3L EcoBoost, tuned with a software-operated, race-derived anti-lag system. Per Ford, it gives instant thrust when you power out of a soft sand wash. Ford also lists upgraded engine cooling and rock rails as standard.
Also, styling includes squared fenders, signature LED lighting and 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels. Still, Ford’s page lists no horsepower or torque figure for the RTR calibration. It lists no ground clearance, approach angle or departure angle either.
Options: Sasquatch, Hyper Lime and Graphics
The Sasquatch package with RTR Suspension steps up the hardware. Specifically, Ford says it adds 35-inch tires and a Ford Racing heavy-duty modular front bumper. It also brings HOSS 3.0 Fox internal bypass dampers. However, Ford does not list a separate price for it.
Two appearance options round out the list. The Hyper Lime and RTR Appearance Graphics packages add exclusive RTR accents and Hyper Lime design details, per Ford. Ford says the fully specified truck includes all three options.
Bronco RTR vs. Badlands
The Badlands is the Bronco to weigh against the RTR, because it shares the RTR’s 33-inch tire size. Ford’s site lists Fox dampers as an option on the 2026 Badlands. I have rented a Bronco Badlands several times for Big Bear camping trips. It is the one I would price against the RTR first. Ford’s RTR page includes no Badlands prices, so a true price comparison has to wait.
Owners on the Bronco forums are split. For example, some say a Sasquatch Bronco plus an aftermarket Fox kit costs less and does more. Others like a factory warranty and one payment for the whole package. Some owners say the base RTR looks short on features such as a 360-degree camera. Ford’s page does not list the full equipment, though.
At the top of the ladder, our Bronco Raptor price report shows a 2026 Raptor starting at $79,995 before destination. In comparison, even a fully equipped RTR sits well below the Raptor.
What This Means for You
If you plan to run desert and sand, the RTR is built for you. The anti-lag tune, upgraded cooling and standard 33-inch tires all target desert driving. However, treat those claims as Ford’s until independent reviews arrive.
Of everything on the spec list, the HOSS 3.0 dampers are the part I would pay for. Owners who run them on other Broncos say the ride is plusher than the older Sasquatch shocks. On the other hand, the engine is the trade-off I would flag. Ford lists only the 2.3L EcoBoost, and some owners want more than four cylinders for a desert truck.
Therefore, wait for the exact MSRP before you commit to a deposit. A spread of close to $10,000 leaves room for a surprise on the options. While you wait, look at the Bronco Filson Edition, one of the other special editions Ford is rolling out. Beyond the Filson, more Bronco models are coming.
While you wait for exact pricing, any desert-bound truck still needs recovery gear for soft sand. Traction boards, a soft shackle and a folding shovel get a stuck truck moving again.

Final Thoughts
Ford has now shown what it wants to charge for a factory desert Bronco. The numbers look reasonable for the hardware Ford lists. Among the options, the Sasquatch upgrade with RTR Suspension stands out.
It will not suit everyone. Because Ford lists only a four-cylinder engine, V6 fans should look elsewhere for now. If lime is not your color, Ford lists Hyper Lime and the graphics as options, so you are free to skip them.
Watch for exact pricing, drive a Badlands if you have not, and compare both on one sheet. Then you will choose with real numbers in front of you. I hope the final prices make the decision easy.
