Are there any changes to the 2026 Bronco Sport?

26's may have additional color options, but that's likely about it. 2025 was the big refresh year, so don't expect anything much beyond what's available today.

2026 Order banks open on Wednesday October 15th. If you plan on keeping it a long time, I’d get the best deal you can on a 2025. If you plan on only keeping it a few years, I’d order a new one to avoid the loss of a years value. JMO.

If you get a 2026 you will have given them a year to work out any 2025 bugs.
Yep, that's my thinking. The 25 BL seems to be pretty well sorted out and the 26 will hopefully address further issues if they exist. I'm asking Santa for ventilated seats in the 26, but that's about it.

Is it rude to ask why you're wanting to get rid of the 2021?

I've had my '25 since March, about 7000 miles. No problems thus far!

The major change to the 2025 was the addtion of the Sync 4 infotainment system which has been around since 2020 on the 2021 F150, Mach E, Edge and Bronco. There is little to work out at this point.

What about the issues some ‘21-‘24 owners are having with 8F35 transmission and the RDU?

Good question. I am not sure if any mechanical improvements have been made to the 2025 and up models to address those issues.
