2026 Ford Bronco Sport Sasquatch Package and Off-Road Features
The Sasquatch Package: Built for the Upstate
For years, full-size Bronco owners have utilized the Sasquatch Package to conquer extreme trails. Now, Ford has brought that same off-road pedigree to the compact Bronco Sport. When you are navigating the unpaved, rutted paths deep within the Jocassee Gorges, you need hardware that can withstand severe impacts and maintain traction over loose rocks.
The Sasquatch Package adds robust steel skid plates to protect the undercarriage from jagged stones and equips the vehicle with larger 29-inch all-terrain tires. These tires provide a larger contact patch with the ground, which translates directly to superior grip when crawling over wet tree roots or muddy Upstate inclines. Furthermore, the package includes upgraded Bilstein position-sensitive dampers. These specialized shock absorbers absorb harsh impacts at high speeds while providing extra travel for slow-speed rock crawling, ensuring you maintain a stable and controlled ride over unpredictable terrain.
You can view the exact engineering specifications of this equipment on the official Ford Bronco Sport capability page.
Advanced 4x4 and G.O.A.T. Modes
The foundation of the Bronco Sport Badlands model is its advanced 4x4 system, which features a twin-clutch rear drive unit. Unlike standard all-wheel drive systems that simply brake a spinning wheel, this twin-clutch system can actively send virtually all rear axle torque to a single rear wheel. This translates to absolute forward momentum even if three of your tires are suspended in the air or completely lacking traction.

| Off-Road Feature | Technical Function | Upstate SC Driver Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Bilstein Dampers | Position-sensitive hydraulic shock absorption | Prevents the vehicle from bottoming out when hitting deep ruts on logging roads. |
| Twin-Clutch 4x4 | Directs rear torque to a single wheel | Ensures you never get stuck in deep mud near Upstate lakes and rivers. |
| G.O.A.T. Modes | Calibrates steering, shifting, and throttle | Instantly adapts the vehicle to drive smoothly over sand, slippery rocks, or deep snow. |
With up to seven available G.O.A.T. Modes (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain), including a dedicated Rock Crawl mode on the Badlands trim, you do not need to be a professional off-road driver to conquer difficult trails. The vehicle's computer systems automatically adjust the mechanical components to handle the environment, letting you focus entirely on enjoying the South Carolina wilderness.
