2026 Ford Bronco Sasquatch Package and Removable Roof and Doors Explained
The 2026 Ford Bronco Sasquatch Package lifts ground clearance to 11.5 inches on 35-inch all-terrain tires. Adding Sasquatch to most 4-Door trims also unlocks 33.5-inch water fording depth, up from the base standard. This page covers how Sasquatch and the removable roof and doors work, which trims include them, and where to find inventory at Koons Ford.
Feature Overview, Sasquatch Package and Open-Air Architecture
Two features define the 2026 Bronco more than any other: the Sasquatch Package and the removable roof and doors system. Together they transform a factory-built SUV into a vehicle that operates comfortably in environments most paved-road machines cannot reach.
The Sasquatch Package is Ford's factory-engineered off-road upgrade. It centers on a set of 35-inch all-terrain tires mounted on 17-inch Matte Black alloy wheels with beadlock-capable construction. Those tires sit on a widened track, and the package pairs them with upgraded HOSS (High-Performance, Off-Road, Stability, Suspension) hardware and a front disconnecting sway bar on Badlands and above. Ground clearance climbs to 11.5 inches on equipped 4-Door trims, compared to 8.3 inches on a base 2-Door or 9.4 inches on a standard Big Bend/Outer Banks 4-Door.
The removable roof and doors are a separate but equally significant capability. Every Bronco body panel that opens to the sky or removes from the frame does so by design, not as an afterthought. The combination of open doors, a removable hardtop or folding soft top, and the platform's G.O.A.T. Modes (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) creates a genuinely configurable vehicle.

How It Works, Sasquatch and the Removable Roof and Doors in Detail
The 35-inch tires do the most visible work, but the HOSS suspension system behind them is what makes the package function at trail speeds. Base trims running Sasquatch receive HOSS 1.0 with twin alloy A-arms and coil-over springs front, and a solid five-link rear axle with coil-over springs. Badlands models gain access to HOSS 2.0 with Bilstein Position-Sensitive Dampers. The Raptor runs HOSS 4.0 with FOX Live Valve 3.1 internal bypass semi-active shocks, which is a different tier entirely.
On Badlands trims, Sasquatch also activates the front disconnecting stabilizer bar. Connected, the bar improves high-speed stability. Disconnected, it increases wheel articulation on uneven terrain. The Ramp Travel Index for a Badlands 4-Door reads 500 with the bar connected and 620 with it disconnected.
Water fording depth reaches 33.5 inches on any 4-Door trim with the Sasquatch Package installed, which covers stream crossings and flooded trail sections that would stop a standard SUV. On the Raptor, fording depth reaches 37 inches without requiring the Sasquatch Package, because the Raptor rides on its own suspension and wheel architecture.
Removable roof and doors mechanics
The Bronco's roof comes in two primary forms: a hardtop and a soft top. On the 4-Door hardtop, the modular panels are designed for a one-person removal process. The soft top folds back on 4-Door models, adding about 5 inches of headroom over the hardtop configuration (43.3 inches soft top vs. 40.8 inches hardtop for front-row passengers). Cargo capacity behind the second row expands from 35.6 cubic feet with a 4-Door hardtop to 38.3 cubic feet with the soft top open.
Doors remove from all Bronco models using a straightforward hinge-release process. Ford engineered exterior mirrors that stay functional even with doors removed, since mirror pods mount to the A-pillar rather than the door itself. Driving without doors on public roads is legal in Maryland, though occupants should check applicable regulations for any state they travel through.
The 2-Door body style does not offer a soft top configuration in the standard lineup, and its second-row headroom with the hardtop is 39.8 inches.

Across the Trims, Which Trims Get Sasquatch and What Comes Standard
The Sasquatch Package is an available option on Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, and Badlands trims. On Heritage Edition and Stroppe Edition trims, it is also available. The Raptor does not use the Sasquatch Package because it arrives with its own wider track (73.2-inch front track vs. 65 inches on non-Sasquatch trims), 13.1 inches of ground clearance, and FOX Live Valve dampers as standard equipment.
Here is how ground clearance and water fording change by configuration:
| Trim / Configuration | Sasquatch Package | Ground Clearance | Water Fording |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base 4-Door | No | 8.4 inches | Not specified at base |
| Base 4-Door | Yes | 11.5 inches | 33.5 inches |
| Big Bend / Outer Banks 4-Door | No | 9.4 inches | Not specified |
| Big Bend / Outer Banks 4-Door | Yes | 11.5 inches | 33.5 inches |
| Badlands 4-Door | No | 10.5 inches | Not specified |
| Badlands 4-Door | Yes | 11.5 inches | 33.5 inches |
| Raptor 4-Door | No Sasquatch needed | 13.1 inches | 37 inches |
| Stroppe Edition 4-Door | Yes | 11.5 inches | 33.5 inches |
Approach angle with Sasquatch on most 4-Door trims reaches 43.3 degrees, compared to 35.7 to 41.3 degrees without it, depending on the base trim. The Raptor's approach angle of 47.2 degrees is the highest in the Bronco lineup without Sasquatch.
Regarding the roof: the soft top is available on 4-Door versions of Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, Badlands, and Heritage Edition. The Stroppe Edition and Raptor do not list soft top configurations in the current spec data.

Real-World Benefit, What This Means on the Road and on the Trail
Buyers in the Annapolis area who use their Bronco for weekend trail work in Maryland or the surrounding region will notice the Sasquatch Package most in situations where approach and departure angles determine whether the vehicle makes it through a rocky section. An approach angle of 43.3 degrees means the front bumper clears obstacles that would scrape a standard SUV. A departure angle of 36.9 to 37.0 degrees means the rear does the same. Between those two angles, the breakover angle (the belly of the vehicle over a crest) reaches 26.3 degrees with Sasquatch on a 4-Door.
The removable doors and roof add a dimension that trail capability numbers do not capture. Parking downtown with the top folded back, then driving 90 minutes to a trail and dropping the doors in a campground lot, is a practical sequence for a 4-Door Bronco owner. The soft top configuration's 108.2 cubic feet of passenger volume (vs. 103.6 with the hardtop) means open-air driving does not come at the cost of usable interior space.
For buyers who want Sasquatch capability but do not need the Badlands-level suspension upgrade, Big Bend with the Sasquatch Package delivers the 35-inch tires, the lifted ride height, and the 33.5-inch fording depth at a lower trim price point. Buyers who want every trail tool available without adding packages should look at the Badlands, which adds the disconnecting front sway bar and Mud/Ruts and Rock Crawl G.O.A.T. Modes to its Sasquatch-equipped configuration.
How It Compares, Sasquatch and Open-Air vs. the Competition
No direct competitor matches the Bronco's combination of a factory-engineered 35-inch tire package, a fully removable door system, and a modular roof on a production vehicle at this price tier.
The Jeep Wrangler offers removable doors and a folding soft top, and its Rubicon trim carries a disconnecting sway bar. The Bronco's Sasquatch Package approach angle of 43.3 degrees and 11.5-inch ground clearance position it competitively against Wrangler Rubicon specs, though buyers should cross-shop on current model-year data. EPA fuel economy comparison
The Toyota 4Runner TRD Pro does not offer removable doors or a removable roof. Its off-road capability is real, but the open-air architecture of the Bronco is not replicated in the 4Runner lineup. For buyers whose purchase decision includes the experience of driving topless on a trail as a core requirement, the Bronco is in a separate category.
The Bronco Raptor's 73.2-inch front track width, 13.1-inch ground clearance, and FOX Live Valve 3.1 shocks place it above every trim in its own lineup and above most factory-built off-road trucks in high-speed desert running. Buyers who need that capability should compare it against the Ford Ranger Raptor and the Ram 1500 TRX on current published specs.
