Cedar City Ford – Trail-Ready Confidence with the 2026 Ford Bronco Tech for Washington, UT Adventures
Weekends around Washington, UT pack a lot into a short drive—cruising scenic byways, hunting for dispersed campsites, and picking a red-rock trail that’s just challenging enough. If you’re curious why Bronco® is so popular for this mix, it comes down to purposeful tech that makes tough terrain less complicated and paved miles less stressful. Two standouts—G.O.A.T. Modes® and the HOSS (High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension) Systems—work together to keep momentum manageable and confidence high, whether you’re navigating a rutted shelf road or simply threading through trailhead traffic.
G.O.A.T. Modes® (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) tailor throttle response, transmission mapping, traction management, and steering feel to match the surface under your tires. Think of it as getting the benefit of a seasoned spotter built into the vehicle’s brains. On loose surfaces, the system helps prevent wheelspin and keeps you moving smoothly; on rocks, it prioritizes control so you can climb without drama. Layer in available trail-specific aids—Trail Turn Assist, which tightens your turning radius when space gets scarce, and Trail Control, which functions like low-speed cruise control—and you begin to understand how Bronco® turns stressful sections into manageable ones. Even better, available 360-Degree Camera tech can provide views that help you place a tire precisely or confirm a safe line through obstacles.
The chassis completes the story. The HOSS Systems bring composure to this rugged platform. With HOSS 3.0 featuring FOX™ Internal Bypass Dampers and available HOSS 4.0 on Raptor® using FOX™ Live Valve 3.1 Internal Bypass Semi-Active Dampers, the suspension isn’t just tough—it’s smart about how it absorbs impacts and resists bottoming. That means less head toss over washboards, more stability on whoops, and a ride that doesn’t punish you on the way home. Pair the hardware with up to 13.1 inches of ground clearance, up to 37 inches of water fording, and approach, breakover, and departure angles built for real-world obstacles, and the result is a vehicle that welcomes the route less taken.
It’s also the small details that add up. Class-exclusive cowl-mounted mirrors stay in place when the doors come off, so you keep useful sightlines for merges and lane checks. Available washable floors with built-in drains make cleanup faster after that muddy creek crossing. And on the tech front, standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ compatibility simplify route planning and music streaming, while the available 360-Degree Camera helps in town as much as on a trail. Add heritage-inspired personalization—roof choices, new roof colors, available 60th Anniversary details—and you get an SUV that mirrors your style while it sharpens your skills.
If you’re mapping a season of day trips and overnights, you’ll appreciate how this feature set supports growth. Newer drivers gain confidence with clear camera views and trail aids; experienced explorers appreciate how quickly the suspension resets after a hit, or how effectively G.O.A.T. Modes® adapts to changing surfaces. And because the lineup offers multiple trims and packages—including Sasquatch®—you can match the hardware to your home terrain, from deep sand to high-clearance two-tracks.
We’re here to help you tailor it. Cedar City Ford is committed to pairing you with the configuration that suits your weekend routine and weekday life, serving Hurricane, UT, Washington, UT, and Mesquite, NV, with guidance that starts at the trim level and runs right down to tires and accessories. Bring your favorite route ideas and a gear list—we’ll talk through engines, transmissions, and packages that support your exact plans.
