Sherminator98 Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 Yeah that product description is about as clear as mud (I was having issues with adding that to my reply for some reason) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted November 3 Author Share Posted November 3 13 minutes ago, Sherminator98 said: Yeah, I looked that up on the build and price, and was like what is the "add-in". That could either mean 1) they just "add-in" a soft top to your order of whatever hardtop you got (which is identical as before, just not a group with every top combo....i.e. "add in" to whatever top replaces "soft top + MIC hardtop", "soft top+ black painted hardtop", soft top+ velocity blue body color hardtop, etc etc) or 2) they're doing one of those soft inserts for front/second row. The option 1 sounds more likely to me - I'd imagine that would be far simpler on the back end of just adding a soft top to whatever order instead of having 57 different individual combo options like before.

T-dubz Posted November 3 Share Posted November 3 Bout time for the free wheelin. I still can’t believe it stuck around on the Bronco for another year. Heritage needs to go next for the Bronco sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lariat doesn't come standard with AWD anymore, it's an option. That's where the big price reduction comes from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trader 10 Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 If memory serves correct AWD was a $2000 option so those XL and XLT ecoboost buyers that want AWD will see about a $1000 increase. I wonder if the article has correct pricing for the Lariat. Otherwise, as has been mentioned, there’s no way Ford is cutting prices that much without a commensurate cut in features.

The article is accurate regarding 2026 Maverick Lariat pricing, and AWD is standard: https://shop.ford.com/configure/maverick/config/summary/Config[|Ford|Maverick|2026|1|1.|...PCW...LAR.99A.77F.]?intcmp=vhp-bb-fbc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford’s build and price tool doesn’t have a price for the AWD option yet but it will likely be about 2 grand. Ok? You questioned whether the article is accurate regarding Lariat pricing. It is (and AWD is standard on Lariat). So yes, the price has been reduced significantly on Lariat 2.0L EB trim for 2026.

rmc523 Posted November 10 Author Share Posted November 10 In the latest round of decontenting - the '26 Bronco Sport loses the standard 12.3" digital cluster - I'm guessing it'll have regular gauges surrounding a smaller screen again? Black Diamond package also loses a bunch of standard features. 2026 Ford Bronco Sport Ditches 12.3-Inch Cluster Display For Three Trims According to sources familiar with the matter, the 12.3-inch instrument cluster display is being killed off from the 2026 Ford Bronco Big Bend, Heritage, and Outer Banks trims. In its place, these three trims get the eight-inch cluster display as standard, a modest step down. For context, the 12.3-inch cluster display was formerly standard on all Bronco Sport trims. There are also some changes headed to the 2026 Ford Bronco Sport Black Diamond Package. The bundle loses its cargo mat, cargo management system, rubberized second-row seatbacks, fender tie-downs, interior grab handles, molded-in-color (MIC) bumper with a steel plate, and the two D-ring rear recovery hooks - although these can still be purchased as standalone, extra-cost options. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted November 20 Author Share Posted November 20 (edited) Ford’s Work Van Just Got A Lot Smarter, But You’ll Pay The Price | Carscoops Starting outside, there’s new badging and updated taillights that now offer integrated blind spot sensors. Fleet customers will also find a new Wild Green Metallic paint job. While the exterior styling changes are easy to overlook, the 2026 Transit has an all-new electrical architecture. Ford said it “enables new digital capabilities, over-the-air software updates, and future scalability.” There’s also an updated 8-inch digital instrument cluster as well as a newly standard 12-inch SYNC 4 infotainment system. The model also gains a 5G modem and a keyless push button ignition. All Transits come equipped with Ford Co-Pilot360, which now includes a Forward Sensing System as well as a Reverse Sensing System on Cargo and Passenger variants. Customers can also upgrade to the optional Co-Pilot360 2.0 suite, which provides additional capabilities. Given the Transit is a commercial vehicle, there are a number of fleet-friendly upgrades. This includes Ford Pro Telematics, which enables managers to keep track of their vehicles and how they’re being used. The van also has a newly standard Vehicle Maintenance Monitor, which helps customers stay up-to-date on maintenance to prevent downtime. Additional changes are limited, but the E-Transit gains a vapor injection heat pump that promises to increase efficiency. The E-Transit Chassis Cab and Cutaway also gain a new variant with a 156-inch (3,962 mm) wheelbase. Rounding out the highlights are several new and updated options including a Connectivity Package, which includes a year of unlimited Wi-Fi, audio and video streaming, Alexa Built-in, and available Connected Navigation. The Delivery Package for Cargo Van and Cutaway variants also gains Delivery Assist, which automatically activates the hazard lights and closes all open windows when the vehicle is put in park. It also locks the doors when the driver exits the vehicle. Pricing starts at $44,890, while the E-Transit begins at $48,150. The latter is a huge price hike as the 2025 E-Transit Cutaway began at $45,700. Likewise, the E-Transit Cargo Van has gone from $51,000 to $53,260.

The decontented 8" digital cluster for '26 Bronco Sport is almost identical to the one in Maverick. It is of course a smaller, lower resolution screen, but doesn't have regular gauges surrounding the screen. 12.3" digital cluster standard in '25 Bronco Sport: 8" digital cluster standard in '26 Bronco Sport (similar to Maverick): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
