The Bronze Package is new for 2026 and exclusive to the Big Bend trim. It’s an appearance package with a specific aesthetic: Sinister Bronze wheels, bronze badge and grille lettering, a Shadow Black roof, and bronze-stitched sport seats. For buyers who want a distinctive look at a lower price point than stepping up to Outer Banks or Badlands, it’s a worthwhile option to understand.
This guide covers exactly what the Bronze Package includes in both configurations, what it costs in terms of capability trade-offs, and who it actually makes sense for.
What is the Bronze Package on the 2026 Bronco Sport?
The Bronze Package is a new option for 2026, available only on the Big Bend trim. It comes in two versions: the Bronze Package (order code 60F) and the Bronze + Black Diamond Off-Road Package (order code 60H). Both are appearance-focused additions that build a visual identity around a bronze color theme applied to exterior and interior details. The 60H variant also adds off-road and towing capability hardware.
Key Facts About the Bronze Package
- Available only on Big Bend — not offered on Heritage, Outer Banks, or Badlands
- New for 2026 — not carried over from 2025
- Two configurations: 60F (appearance only) and 60H (appearance + off-road hardware)
- Exterior theme: Sinister Bronze wheels, bronze badge and grille lettering, Shadow Black roof
- Interior theme: Sport contour seats with bronze stitching, all-weather floor liners with bronze accents
What does the Bronze Package (60F) include?
The base Bronze Package (60F) is a pure appearance package. It changes how the vehicle looks — inside and out — without modifying the drivetrain, tires, or off-road capability from the standard Big Bend.
| Component | What's Included |
|---|---|
| Wheels | 17” Sinister Bronze painted aluminum wheels |
| Tires | All-season (A/S) tires |
| Roof | Shadow Black painted roof |
| Badges and grille | Bronze badge lettering, bronze grille lettering, body-color door handles |
| Seats | Sport contour premium seats with bronze stitching |
| Floor liners | All-weather floor liners with bronze accent |
The 60F package does not include the Class II Trailer Tow Package, A/T tires, or any suspension upgrades. The Big Bend’s standard 4×4, HOSS 1.0 suspension, and all-season tires remain unchanged.
What does the Bronze + Black Diamond Package (60H) include?
The Bronze + Black Diamond Package (60H) is the 60F appearance package combined with the Black Diamond Off-Road Package. This combination adds meaningful capability hardware on top of the visual upgrades: A/T tires replace the A/S tires, and the Class II Trailer Tow Package is included, raising the tow rating to 2,200 lbs.
| Component | What's Included |
|---|---|
| Everything in 60F | All Bronze Package appearance items listed above |
| Tires | A/T tires — replaces A/S tires in the 60F base package |
| Towing | Class II Trailer Tow Package included — max tow rating 2,200 lbs (SAE J2807) |
The 60H combination is the version that makes functional sense for buyers who also need towing capability or who want A/T tires without moving to a higher trim. It delivers the Bronze Package’s look alongside Big Bend’s highest available tow rating.
How do the Bronze Package (60F) and Bronze + Black Diamond (60H) compare?
The decision between 60F and 60H comes down to whether you need A/T tires and towing capacity above 1,500 lbs. Both carry the same appearance changes — the functional difference is entirely in the tire and tow package.
| Feature | 60F Bronze Package | 60H Bronze + Black Diamond |
|---|---|---|
| Bronze appearance items | Included | Included |
| Tires | All-season (A/S) | All-terrain (A/T) |
| Class II Tow Package | Not included | Included |
| Max tow rating | 1,500 lbs | 2,200 lbs |
Is the Bronze Package worth adding to a Big Bend?
The Bronze Package is an honest appearance upgrade. It doesn’t inflate the truck’s mechanical capability — it changes the way it looks, and it does so with a coherent visual theme rather than a scattered set of trim additions. The Sinister Bronze wheels against the Shadow Black roof give a Big Bend a significantly more distinctive appearance than the base configuration.
Worth It If
- You want a visually distinctive Bronco Sport at a Big Bend price point
- You prefer the bronze/black exterior theme over the standard Big Bend look
- For 60H: you need A/T tires and occasional towing up to 2,200 lbs without stepping to a higher trim
Skip It If
You need heated seats, dual-zone climate, or remote start — those are Outer Banks features the Bronze Package doesn’t add. If cold-weather comfort is a priority, consider the Outer Banks rather than a Bronze Package Big Bend.
The 60F package is purely cosmetic. The 60H package adds real capability alongside the look. If towing or off-road tires matter, go with 60H over 60F — the A/T tires alone make it a more complete package for buyers who drive rural SD roads regularly.
Who is the Bronze Package actually for?
The Bronze Package makes the most sense for buyers who want a visually individualized compact SUV without the price of the Outer Banks or Badlands. It positions the Big Bend as something distinct — not a base-model look, but a specific visual package that stands apart from both the standard Big Bend and the higher trims’ aesthetic.
For buyers in north-central SD who need both the appearance and functional capability — A/T tires for gravel roads and occasional towing — the 60H combination delivers that at a lower total price than Heritage + A/T tires through dealer add-ons. The Heritage gets A/T tires standard on its own, but in a different visual direction (retro white roof and plaid) without a tow package. If towing is part of your need, 60H Big Bend is the only way to get that combination at the Big Bend price level.
The full trim comparison — where the Bronze Package fits alongside Heritage, Outer Banks, and Badlands — is covered in the 2026 Bronco Sport trim guide, and the complete 2026 model year overview is at the 2026 Bronco Sport overview page.

- Neither Bronze Package configuration adds heated seats, dual-zone climate, or remote start — those are Outer Banks features.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get the Bronze Package on a Heritage, Outer Banks, or Badlands?
No. The Bronze Package (60F and 60H) is only available on the Big Bend trim. It is not offered on any other 2026 Bronco Sport trim. If you want bronze accent styling on a higher trim, that’s not currently an available configuration.
Does the Bronze Package work with all exterior colors?
The Bronze Package is designed to be applied to available Big Bend exterior colors, with the Shadow Black painted roof as part of the package itself. Confirm color pairing availability when configuring your order — not all exterior colors may be available with the Bronze Package depending on production scheduling. Check with Beadle Ford in Bowdle for current availability.
Is the Bronze + Black Diamond (60H) worth it over just ordering the Heritage?
They serve different priorities. The Heritage gives you A/T tires standard and the retro-white aesthetic — but no tow package path. The 60H Bronze + Black Diamond Big Bend gives you A/T tires and the Class II tow package at potentially a lower price point than the Heritage, with a different visual theme (bronze/black vs white/retro). If towing above 1,500 lbs matters, 60H is the only Big Bend path to that capability. Confirm current pricing at Beadle Ford.
Was the Bronze Package available on the 2025 Bronco Sport?
No. The Bronze Package is a new addition for the 2026 model year. It was not available on 2025 Bronco Sports in any configuration.
My Take on the 2026 Bronze Package
The Bronze Package is a straightforward option — Ford added it to give Big Bend buyers a distinctive appearance path without pushing them up to the Outer Banks price point. For some buyers that’s exactly what they want: a Bronco Sport that looks different from the standard Big Bend without paying for features they don’t need.
When buyers come into Beadle Ford in Bowdle asking about it, my typical advice is: if you’re going to add the Bronze Package, go with 60H over 60F. The A/T tires and tow package make it a more functional vehicle for the kinds of driving people do around here — gravel roads, occasional trailer hauls, boat launches. The appearance upgrade is there either way.
