Dealer told me not until January at the earliest. Not until they stop 2025 production. And when you order a 2026, look for a June delivery date. I wanted to get that new Bronze Edition BL but I'm not waiting 6 months.
I waited 7 months for mine. Yeah, it’s frustrating, but worth it to get exactly what you want instead of “settling” for something else. Did I question my decision? At the time, absolutely. Do I regret waiting? Not a bit.
Here's my personal data point. I placed a retail order at the dealership for a 26 BL about ~12 days ago. On Nov 6 I received notice from Ford confirming receipt and 3 days later an order # with VIN arrived which stated: "The production of your 2026 Broncosport Badlands™ vehicle is slated to begin during the week of January 5, 2026."
And a thank you to the forum for the heads up on the veteran discount.
Tim Bartz thinks it will be next month before Ford puts the 2026 on their build site. Long McArthur has a 2026 build site they set up at the Long McArthur Ford web page, under the drop down for Order Your New Ford. It doesn't include pictures of the 2026 because Ford hasn't released any yet. Take a look at that site.
I'm quite satisfied with my 25.
Aside from some color options, there are no major updates to get thrilled about. Eruption green is not a 26 option so boo to that.
