The 2026 U.S. Ford Bronco has three engine choices: a 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder, a 2.7-liter turbocharged V6 and a 3.0-liter turbocharged V6. Ford offers a 7-speed manual only with the 2.3-liter; a 10-speed automatic is available with that engine and is standard with both V6s. Power ratings vary by fuel grade, and engine-transmission availability depends on trim.
2026 Ford Bronco engines and transmissions at a glance
The figures below are Ford specifications for the 2026 U.S. Bronco. Where Ford publishes ratings for both regular and premium fuel, both are shown. Ford’s technical table does not list a regular-fuel output for the 3.0-liter.
| Engine | Ford engine description | Transmission | Ford-rated output |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2.3L EcoBoost | 2.3L Ti-VCT GTDI I-4 | 7-speed manual or 10-speed automatic | Regular: 275 hp, 315 lb-ft; premium: 300 hp, 325 lb-ft |
| 2.7L EcoBoost | 2.7L Ti-VCT GTDI V6 | 10-speed automatic | Regular: 315 hp, 330 lb-ft; premium: 410 hp, 415 lb-ft |
| 3.0L EcoBoost | 3.0L Ti-VCT GTDI V6 | 10-speed automatic | Premium: 418 hp, 440 lb-ft; regular-fuel output: not listed by Ford |
Ford’s consumer-facing pages headline premium-fuel figures, while its technical table also gives regular-fuel ratings for the 2.3L and 2.7L. Use the figure that matches the fuel grade specified, rather than treating the premium rating as the only output figure. Ford’s 2026 Bronco specifications and 2026 technical specifications describe the lineup and ratings.
Which Bronco engines can be paired with a manual?
2.3L EcoBoost: the only manual option
Ford lists a 7-speed Getrag manual for the 2.3L EcoBoost. Ford describes it as a “6+1 crawler gear” transmission: six conventional forward gears plus a very low crawler gear. The 2.3L can also be ordered with the 10-speed automatic.

No. The engine and transmission combinations vary by series, so the three engines and two transmissions should not be read as a menu available on every trim.

How to choose among the 2026 Bronco powertrains
- If you want a manual: choose a trim that offers the 2.3L EcoBoost with the 7-speed manual.
- If you want a V6: the 2.7L and 3.0L are both paired with the 10-speed automatic.
- If comparing output: compare like fuel grades; Ford’s stated horsepower and torque differ between regular and premium fuel for the 2.3L and 2.7L.
- If you have a particular trim in mind: verify its engine and gearbox in Ford’s current model-year order guide, because lineup-wide availability does not mean every trim offers every combination.
