Overview
Ford announced on May 19, 2026, that it will produce a factory-backed Bronco Filson Edition in collaboration with Seattle-based outdoor outfitter Filson. The model is inspired by the 2020 Wildland Fire Rig concept and will debut on June 3, 2026, at an event in the Pacific Northwest.
Unlike limited-run special editions, the Bronco Filson Edition is positioned as a full member of the Bronco family lineup, joining the recently announced Bronco RTR as part of Ford's push to add premium, lifestyle-oriented variants to the brand.
Expected Specs
Based on the 2020 concept, the production model is expected to start with a four-door Bronco Badlands equipped with the Sasquatch package, including 35-inch all-terrain tires. Key features likely include:
- Ford Performance steel front bumper with Warn winch
- Custom roof rack with integrated LED light bars
- Forest Service green exterior paint
- Durable duck canvas interior trim on door handles, armrests, and seats
- Filson branding throughout the cabin
- 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-four engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission
The concept version carried a 50-gallon water tank for firefighting, which will not carry over to the civilian model. Filson, founded in 1897 to outfit Gold Rush prospectors, has a long history supplying gear to forest rangers who drove Broncos in the 1960s and 1970s.
Availability
The full reveal is scheduled for June 3, 2026. Orders are expected to open later in 2026 as part of the 2027 Bronco model year, with production at Ford's Michigan Assembly Plant alongside the standard Bronco and Bronco RTR.
