The Ford Bronco continues to evolve as a premier off-road vehicle, with its innovative roof options remaining one of its most distinctive features. Across the diverse Bronco model range, these roof configurations offer varying degrees of open-air freedom while maintaining the rugged capability that defines the Bronco legacy.

Hard Top Options

The Ford Bronco offers several hard top configurations, each designed to balance durability, versatility, and style:

Standard Modular Hard Top

Available on both 2-door and 4-door Bronco models, the standard modular hard top features removable panels that allow for customizable open-air configurations. Ford has improved the insulation properties, reducing interior noise by up to 10 decibels compared to previous generations.

You can remove the front panels independently, allowing for a partial open-air experience. On 4-door models, the larger rear section can also be removed, creating a full convertible-like experience. The 2-door compact rear section is similarly removable, though storage space for the panels becomes a consideration.

New is an improved panel storage system for the 2-door models, addressing owner feedback from previous years.

Painted Modular Hard Top

Available on higher trim levels like the Outer Banks, Badlands, and Wildtrak, the painted modular hard top offers the same functionality as the standard version but with body-colour matching for a more premium, cohesive appearance. This option includes all exterior colour options, including the new Desert Sand and Ruby Red colours.

Heritage Edition Hard Top

The Heritage Edition models feature a distinctive Oxford White hard top regardless of body colour, creating the classic two-tone look reminiscent of the original Bronco from the 1960s. This signature aesthetic element carries over with improved materials and sound insulation.

Soft Top Options

Standard Soft Top

Standard on 4-door models (Base, Big Bend, Black Diamond), the soft top has been re-engineered with improved materials for enhanced durability and weather resistance. The folding mechanism has smoother operation, and a new quick-release system allows for faster configuration changes.

The standard soft top now includes an improved rear window design with increased visibility and enhanced insulation. Available in black across most models, it provides the most authentic convertible-like experience in the Bronco lineup.

Premium Soft Top

The premium soft top option available on Outer Banks and Badlands models features upgraded acoustic insulation, reducing road noise by approximately 30% compared to the standard soft top. Available in black or the new heritage tan colour, it includes a more robust frame structure and premium fabric with enhanced UV resistance.

Retractable Soft Top

The most significant roof innovation is the new power-retractable soft top, available as an option on 4-door Wildtrak models. This electrically operated system allows the roof to be opened or closed at speeds up to 30 km/h with a single button press, combining convenience with the Bronco signature open-air capability.

Dual-Top Options

Ford has expanded the availability of the Dual-Top option across more trim levels. This package includes both hard and soft tops, allowing owners to switch between configurations seasonally. Previously limited to higher trims, this option is now available on Big Bend models and above.

Model-Specific Roof Configurations

2-Door Bronco

All 2-door Bronco models (Base, Big Bend, Black Diamond, Badlands, Wildtrak, and Heritage Edition) come standard with the modular hard top. The compact dimensions of the 2-door create a more immediate open-air experience when the roof panels are removed.
