The Ford Bronco at Dennis Sneed Ford | Gower MO
Removable doors and roof. Standard four-wheel drive on every trim. Body-on-frame construction and a design that looks like nothing else on the road. The Ford Bronco is the SUV people buy with their hearts as much as their heads — and at Dennis Sneed Ford in Gower, MO, we have been helping Kansas City and northwest Missouri buyers configure them since the nameplate came back.
Why buy a Ford Bronco?
The Ford Bronco is Ford's dedicated off-road SUV. It pairs genuine trail capability — standard four-wheel drive, G.O.A.T. terrain modes, available locking differentials — with an open-air, removable-top design and iconic styling. It is the right fit for buyers who want an SUV with real character and off-pavement ability, not just a tall crossover.
The Bronco is not trying to be a quiet, anonymous family hauler, and that is exactly the point. It is built on a rugged body-on-frame platform, comes standard with four-wheel drive, and offers a removable roof and doors for open-air driving no other mainstream SUV matches. Whether you are running gravel roads in northwest Missouri, heading to hunting land, or just want the most distinctive vehicle in the school pickup line, the Bronco delivers a driving experience with genuine personality.
At Dennis Sneed Ford, the Bronco draws two kinds of buyers: rural Missouri families who actually use the capability, and Kansas City metro buyers who want something with real presence. We help both figure out which of the Bronco's many trims and configurations fits how they will actually drive it.
Shopping the 2026 Ford Bronco?
The 2026 Bronco adds Avalanche Gray to the paint palette, a 60th Anniversary Package on the Outer Banks, and an available Wildtrak Package on the Badlands. Our complete 2026 buyer's guide walks through every trim, every engine, and the honest regular-versus-premium-fuel horsepower figures most sites leave out — every number verified against Ford's published specifications and real window stickers on our own inventory.
What trims does the Ford Bronco come in?
The Bronco lineup runs Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks, Badlands, Heritage Edition, Stroppe Edition, and Raptor. Base and Big Bend are the everyday trims, Outer Banks is the comfort-and-style choice, Badlands is the most off-road-capable non-Raptor, Heritage and Stroppe lean into heritage and desert-racing style, and Raptor is the flagship.
Bronco Base
Standard 4WD, G.O.A.T. modes, the 2.3L EcoBoost, and the removable top and doors. A straightforward, capable starting point with the essential Bronco character intact.
Bronco Big Bend
Body-color elements, 17-inch wheels, all-terrain tires, privacy glass, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel over the Base. Still the 2.3L four-cylinder, and one of the trims that comes with the 7-speed manual as standard equipment.
Bronco Outer Banks
Standard 10-speed automatic, available 2.7L V6, 18-inch machined wheels, leather-trimmed heated seats, and a heated steering wheel. The other half of the Bronco's most common trim decision.
Bronco Badlands
Electronic locking front and rear differentials, a disconnecting front stabilizer bar, off-road-tuned suspension, and Bilstein dampers. The serious off-road hardware lives here.
Bronco Heritage
Retro-inspired design cues, unique wheels, and classic color combinations that nod to the original 1966 Bronco. Capability plus nostalgia.
Bronco Stroppe Edition
A desert-racing tribute to Bill Stroppe, built on Badlands hardware with the 2.7L V6, 10-speed automatic, and HOSS 3.0 suspension with FOX internal bypass dampers.
Bronco Raptor
The flagship: a dedicated 3.0L EcoBoost V6 making 418 horsepower and 440 lb-ft, HOSS 4.0 suspension, 13.1 inches of ground clearance, and a 4,500 lb tow rating. Availability rotates — call us for what is on the ground.
Is the drive to Gower worth it for a Kansas City buyer?
For most metro Bronco buyers, yes. Dennis Sneed Ford is about 45 minutes north of Kansas City on US-169, and our small-town overhead plus one of the largest Ford remarketing programs in the country is exactly why so many KC buyers make the drive.
Roughly 60% of our business comes from the Kansas City metro — Liberty, Smithville, Kearney, Overland Park, Lees Summit, and the surrounding suburbs — along with St. Joseph to the north. Bronco shoppers cross-shop the big metro stores, then find that a 30-year, family-owned dealership in Gower does the deal differently.
30 years. Family-owned. Ford Credit Partners in Quality.
Dennis Sneed Ford has been a family-owned Ford dealership in Gower, MO for 30 years, and the recognition behind the name is real:

- Ford Credit Partners in Quality — one of roughly 111 dealers nationally recognized for the highest customer satisfaction and loyalty.

Ford Bronco questions, answered
Does the Ford Bronco come with four-wheel drive?
Yes. Every Ford Bronco comes standard with four-wheel drive, along with Ford's Terrain Management System and selectable G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) drive modes. Higher trims add hardware like locking differentials and a disconnecting front stabilizer bar for greater off-road capability.
Can you remove the doors and roof on a Ford Bronco?
Yes. The Bronco is designed for open-air driving. The roof and doors are removable, and a door-and-top removal tool kit is included. Both two-door and four-door body styles offer this, and hard-top, soft-top, and dual-top configurations are available.
Is the Ford Bronco a two-door or four-door?
Both. The Bronco is offered in a two-door and a four-door body style. The four-door adds rear-passenger space and easier access to the back seat, while the two-door is shorter with a more classic, compact look. Most trims are available in either configuration.
How much can the Ford Bronco tow?
The Ford Bronco is rated to tow up to 3,500 lbs with the Class II Trailer Tow Package, and the Raptor is rated at 4,500 lbs. A handful of specific configurations rate slightly differently, so confirm the figure on the exact vehicle you are considering. That capacity suits a small utility trailer, an ATV or side-by-side trailer, or a small boat.
What is the difference between the Bronco and the Bronco Sport?
They are different vehicles that share a name. The Bronco is body-on-frame with removable doors and roof, four-wheel drive, and larger engines. The Bronco Sport is a smaller unibody crossover with a fixed roof and doors, smaller engines, all-wheel drive, and better fuel economy. If you want the removable top, you want the Bronco.
