2026 Ford Bronco Sport Trim Guide for Southeast Missouri Drivers

Compare  |  Farmington, MO Two small SUVs with standard 4x4 and an off road minded trim at the end of each lineup. They part ways on power, cargo room and how they want to be used on a Saturday. Spring is when people around Farmington start thinking about the lake, the river and the state parks again. It's also when a lot of shoppers who want something smaller than a full size SUV end up comparing the Ford Bronco Sport and the Jeep Compass. On paper they look close. Both are compact, both come with four wheel drive on every 2026 model, and both offer an off road focused trim with extra hardware. They part ways on power, cargo room and how they want to be used on a Saturday. Spend time in each and the differences get clearer, especially once you load gear, hook up a small trailer or turn onto a gravel road. Quick answer: The Ford Bronco Sport offers more power on its Badlands trim, more cargo space, a 13.2 inch touchscreen on every model and up to 2,200 pounds of towing, or 2,700 on the Badlands, when properly equipped. The Jeep Compass uses a 200 horsepower 2.0L turbo across the lineup, tows up to 2,000 pounds, and offers low range gearing on the Trailhawk. Drivers who haul gear and spend weekends outdoors often find the Ford Bronco Sport the better fit. Ford Bronco Sport towing Up to 2,200 lbs, 2,700 on Badlands Jeep Compass towing Up to 2,000 lbs Both offer Standard 4x4 on every 2026 model In this post Power and fuel 4x4 and gravel Cargo and towing Cabin and tech Which one fits How Do the Ford Bronco Sport and Jeep Compass Compare on Power? Jeep keeps it simple. Every 2026 Jeep Compass uses a 2.0L turbocharged four cylinder with 200 horsepower and 221 lb-ft of torque, paired with an 8 speed automatic. For 2026, the lineup starts at the Latitude and runs up through the Limited and the Trailhawk. The Ford Bronco Sport gives you two engines. Big Bend, Heritage and Outer Banks models use a 1.5L EcoBoost with 180 horsepower and 200 lb-ft. The Badlands steps up to a 2.0L EcoBoost with 250 horsepower and 280 lb-ft. Both run through an 8 speed automatic. Fuel economy lands close for the everyday versions. The EPA rates the 1.5L Bronco Sport 4x4 at 25 city, 30 highway and 27 combined. The Compass comes in at 23 city, 31 highway and 26 combined. The more powerful Badlands drops to 23 combined, which is the trade for that extra muscle. Which Handles Gravel, Ice and Trails Better? Every 2026 Bronco Sport and every 2026 Compass comes with four wheel drive. That alone covers most of what Southeast Missouri throws at a small SUV, from a January ice storm to a washed out gravel road after a spring downpour. Our February trim guide walks through the Bronco Sport's G.O.A.T. Modes trim by trim. For this matchup, the piece that stands out is the Badlands. Its Advanced 4x4 system uses a twin clutch rear drive unit that can send torque to a single rear wheel when the other three lose grip. That same system comes with the Sasquatch Outer Banks Package. On the Compass, Jeep Active Drive 4x4 is standard with Selec-Terrain modes for Auto, Snow, Sand and Mud. The Trailhawk earns Jeep's Trail Rated badge and adds Active Drive Low with a 20:1 crawl ratio, Rock mode, Hill Descent Control and all terrain tires. That low range gearing is a real plus for slow, steep climbs. Ground clearance Ford lists up to 8.8 inches of ground clearance for the Bronco Sport with available all terrain tires, and the figure varies by trim. KBB lists the 2026 Compass at 8.1 inches, and Jeep gives the Trailhawk a one inch factory lift. On a rutted farm lane, either one clears more than a typical car. Ironton driver tip The roads into the Arcadia Valley climb and twist, and a summer storm can leave gravel and branches across the pavement in a hurry. Slippery mode on a Bronco Sport or Snow mode on a Compass helps on loose stuff, but slowing down for the blind curves helps more. Which Carries More Gear and Tows More? This is where the Bronco Sport's boxy shape earns its keep. Ford lists up to 32.5 cubic feet behind the second row and up to 65.2 cubic feet with the rear seat folded on 1.5L models. Jeep lists the 2026 Compass at 27.2 cubic feet behind the second row and 59.8 cubic feet with it folded. The tall, square cargo opening on the Bronco Sport makes coolers, tackle boxes and camp chairs easier to stack. Towing follows the same pattern. With the available Class II trailer tow package, 1.5L Bronco Sport trims are rated up to 2,200 pounds. The Badlands is rated up to 2,700 pounds when properly equipped. Jeep rates the Compass at up to 2,000 pounds. None of these are built for a camper. They are about right for a pair of kayaks on a small trailer, a jon boat for Big River or a utility trailer for yard work. Check the door jamb sticker for your vehicle's exact payload before loading up. They part ways on power, cargo room and how they want to be used on a Saturday. Explore the Ford Bronco Sport Bronco Sport Research What Is It Like Inside the Ford Bronco Sport and Jeep Compass? Every 2026 Ford Bronco Sport comes with a 13.2 inch center touchscreen. Big Bend, Heritage and Outer Banks get an 8 inch digital cluster, and the Badlands gets a 12.3 inch cluster. For 2026, Ford also made a 5G modem standard and included the Ford Connectivity Package for the first year, so features in the Ford app like remote start and vehicle status work out of the box once you activate them. The Compass runs Uconnect 5 on a touchscreen of up to 10.1 inches, depending on trim, with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus an available 10.25 inch digital cluster. For 2026, Jeep added heated front seats, a heated steering wheel and remote start to the Trailhawk, a nice touch on a frosty February morning in Farmington. Both cabins seat five. The surest way to judge comfort is to sit in each with the people who ride with you most, and to load the car seat or the dog crate you use every week.

New Model Year  |  Farmington, MO Ford trimmed the engine list, spread the Tremor and 35 inch tires across more of the lineup, and added a Carhartt package. These are the 2027 Ford Super Duty changes that matter to farm, fleet and towing buyers around Farmington. The 2027 Ford Super Duty does not look much different parked next to a 2026 truck on our lot at 5019 Flat River Road. The changes are on the order sheet, and a few of them will change how you spec a truck. Ford dropped two engines, made the 7.3L gas V8 standard, and kept the High Output Power Stroke as the one diesel. It also moved the Tremor and its 35 inch tires down into the XL, gave the Tremor an 8 foot bed, put Platinum on the chassis cab, and teamed up with Carhartt. Everything below comes from what Ford published by late September 2026. Quick answer: The 2027 Ford Super Duty makes the 7.3L gas V8 the standard engine on F-250 and F-350 pickups and keeps the High Output 6.7L Power Stroke, rated at 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft, as its only diesel. Ford also added a Tremor option on the XL, a Tremor Crew Cab with an 8 foot bed, an XL off road package with 35 inch tires, a Platinum chassis cab and a new Carhartt package on the XLT. Gas engine 7.3L V8, standard on F-250 and F-350 Diesel engine High Output 6.7L Power Stroke, 500 hp, 1,200 lb-ft New packages Carhartt, Tremor on XL, XL Off-Road 35 inch tires In this post Engine changes New off road options The Carhartt package Chassis cab, colors and more Shopping the changeover What Changed Under the Hood of the 2027 Ford Super Duty? The lineup got simpler. For 2026 you could pick from two gas V8s and two versions of the 6.7L Power Stroke diesel. For 2027, Ford cut that to one of each. Gas: the 7.3L V8 is now standard The 6.8L V8 is gone, and Ford says the 7.3L is now the standard gas engine across its Super Duty lineup. Ford's 2027 rating for the 7.3L in the F-250 and F-350 is 420 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque. That's a little under the 2026 rating, and Ford told Pickup Truck + SUV Talk it updated the engine so the Super Duty stays compliant with current environmental standards. For most buyers around here, that's a good trade. The XL work truck that used to come with the smaller V8 now gets the bigger one without checking an option box, which matters if that truck pulls a loaded stock trailer up MO 32 every week. Diesel: one Power Stroke, the High Output The standard output 6.7L Power Stroke has been dropped. The High Output 6.7L Power Stroke stays, rated at 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft, and it's available on the F-250 and F-350 and standard on the F-450. Every Super Duty still runs a 10 speed TorqShift automatic. Farmington driver tip Shopping a 2026 and a 2027 side by side, look at the window sticker first. A leftover 2026 might still carry the 6.8L or the standard output diesel, and that changes how it tows. Our sales team can pull the exact rating for any truck on the lot. Which 2027 Ford Super Duty Off Road Packages Are New? This is where Ford spent most of its effort for 2027. Plenty of Super Duty owners in St. Francois County never touch a trail, but plenty of others run pasture, logging roads and steep gravel drives where traction and ground clearance pay for themselves. Tremor on the XL: the Tremor Off-Road Package can now be paired with the XL and its STX Appearance Package, a cheaper way into 35 inch Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac tires, an electronic locking rear differential, a limited slip front differential, a factory lift, Trail Control, Trail Turn Assist and Rock Crawl Mode. Tremor with an 8 foot bed: for the first time the Tremor comes on a Crew Cab long box with a 176 inch wheelbase and a 48 gallon fuel tank, on XLT, Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum. XL Off-Road 35 inch tire package: a decal free option for the XL Crew Cab 4x4 short box with single rear wheels. It adds a factory lift, performance shocks, the same locking rear and limited slip front differentials, skid plates and a matching full size spare. The long bed Tremor is the one farm buyers have asked for. Before, you had to choose between a full size bed for feed, fencing and a gooseneck hitch, or the Tremor's off road hardware. Now one truck does both, with a bigger tank for long days. Now one truck does both, with a bigger tank for long days. Ford also says the XL Off-Road package works with the available Ford Performance 12,000 pound Warn winch. That's a handy pairing for anybody who pulls neighbors out of a ditch after an ice storm or works ground near the Big River bottoms. What Is the Ford Super Duty Carhartt Package? Ford and Carhartt announced the first Super Duty Carhartt package in May 2026, and Ford opened orders on May 8. It's built on the XLT Crew Cab 4x4 with single rear wheels, so it sits in the middle of the lineup where a lot of working trucks live. Outside: dark painted grille, 20 inch machined and painted wheels, all terrain tires, off road running boards and textured Carhartt graphics mounted low to guard against mud, road salt and debris. Bed: a Tough Bed spray in bedliner stamped with the Carhartt logo. Inside: seats modeled after Carhartt's Duck Canvas with triple stitching, embroidered logos on the front headrests and Carhartt inspired floor mats. Ford listed availability for fall 2026. If you want one built a certain way, a custom order is the surest route, and Ford does not charge extra to order a truck. Shop Ford Super Duty Inventory Order a 2027 Super Duty What Else Is New on the 2027 Ford Super Duty? A handful of smaller changes round out the year. Platinum Chassis Cab: the F-350, F-450 and F-550 Chassis Cab can now be ordered in Platinum trim, with Platinum interior appointments, leather seating surfaces and SYNC 4. Proud to Honor package: a limited edition appearance package for the F-250, F-350 and F-450 with red, white and blue graphics, darkened exterior accents and black wheels. New colors: Neptune Blue is new for 2027, and Iconic Silver Metallic, which Ford offered on fleet trucks for 2026, is on the 2027 color list. Digital rearview mirror: newly available on upper trims, useful when a tall load or a camper blocks the back glass. The Platinum chassis cab is a bigger deal than it sounds. Ranchers and contractors who wanted a flatbed or service body used to give up the nicer cab to get the chassis they needed. Now a work body and a Platinum interior can share the same truck. How Should You Shop a 2027 Ford Super Duty Around Farmington? Start with the work. Write down what you hitch to, how often the truck is loaded, and whether it'll ever wear a flatbed or service body. Those three answers point to the engine, the cab and bed, and whether you want a pickup or a chassis cab. 1 Pick the engine by the load The 7.3L gas V8 handles occasional heavy towing with simpler upkeep. Daily gooseneck or fifth wheel work across the region is where the High Output Power Stroke earns its keep. 2 Decide between the lot and an order Check what's in stock first, including any remaining 2026 trucks. If you want a specific package like the Carhartt or a long bed Tremor, a factory order lets you choose every option. 3 Bring the fleet team in early Our Commercial Fleet department handles upfits like service, utility, flatbed and dump bodies, shelving, ladder racks and liftgates, plus commercial loans and leases through our Finance Center. 4 Drive it hooked up Bring your own trailer for the test drive if you can. Hitching and backing on a real load tells you more than a spec sheet. Trading in an older truck toward the new one is simple, too. Start with an online offer, then finish the appraisal at the store. We look at any make and condition, and you're not obligated to buy. Warranty Forever Every new Ford sold at Sam Scism Ford, including a 2027 Super Duty, comes with Warranty Forever at no charge. Listed engine, transmission and drive axle parts are covered for as long as you own the truck, regardless of miles, with no deductible. Keep up with the customary maintenance and records.

Quick answer: Sam Scism Ford will buy your vehicle whether or not you buy one from us. Get a starting value online, then bring the vehicle to 5019 Flat River Road for an inspection and appraisal, along with every key, the title or payoff information, registration and a photo ID. A private sale often brings more money but takes longer and puts the paperwork, the strangers and the lender on you. Purchase required No, we buy outright What we buy Any make, model or condition Where 5019 Flat River Road, Farmington In this post Selling without buying How the online offer works The in store appraisal What to bring and payoffs Private sale or dealer sale Can You Sell Your Car to Sam Scism Ford Without Buying One? You can. Most people think of a dealer appraisal as part of a trade, but we also buy vehicles on their own. We're always adding to our pre owned inventory, and cars that come from local owners are a big part of it. It doesn't need to be a Ford. Chevys, Toyotas, Hondas, a Jeep with a lift on it, a minivan with a cracked windshield. The sell your car page says we buy any make, model or condition, and we mean it. You came in to sell, so that's the conversation. If you decide later that you want something else, the offer can go toward that instead. How Does the Online Offer Work? Start with the Value Your Trade tool. You'll describe the vehicle and its condition, and you get a starting value without leaving the house. Treat that number as a starting point. Nobody has seen the car yet. The online value assumes the condition you describe is the condition we'll find, so be straight about the warning light, the dent in the tailgate and the tires that are nearly bald. A careful description gets you a number that holds up. The final figure comes from an in person look. That's true at every dealer, and it protects both sides. Value Your Car Online Browse Used Inventory What Happens During the In Store Appraisal? 1 Bring it in during sales hours Monday through Friday 8 AM to 6 PM, Saturday 9 AM to 5 PM. Calling ahead at 573-430-1687 helps us have someone ready. 2 Walk around and inspection Our team looks over the body, glass, tires, interior and under the hood, and notes any warning lights or leaks. 3 How it runs and what it's worth here Expect a short drive to hear and feel how it runs. The value also depends on what similar vehicles are bringing in this market. 4 You get a firm offer We explain how we got there. Take it, think it over or walk away with no hard feelings. A little prep goes a long way. Clean out your stuff, run it through a car wash and bring service records if you have them. You don't need to fix dents or replace tires first, since those repairs rarely pay back what they cost. What Documents Should You Bring to Sell Your Car? This list comes straight from our sell page, and having all of it with you is the difference between a quick visit and a second trip. The vehicle and every key and remote: spare fobs add value and cost money to replace. The owner's manual: if it's still in the glove box, leave it there. A valid state issued photo ID for each person selling. Title, or loan payoff information if a lender still holds it. Current registration. What if you still owe money on it? That's common and it doesn't stop a sale. Call your lender for a payoff amount before you come in. It's often a little different from the balance on your last statement because of interest and any payoff fees. When we buy the car, we pay the lender and the lender releases the title. If our offer is more than the payoff, the difference is yours. If you owe more than the car is worth, you'd need to cover the gap, and we'll show you the math plainly before anything is signed. Leased vehicles take one more step, because the leasing company owns the car. Bring your lease paperwork and our team will walk through the buyout numbers with you. Is a Private Sale or a Dealer Sale Right for You? An honest answer is that a private sale usually brings more money. Edmunds puts it simply: you cut out the middleman, so you keep more. You also pick who buys it, which matters to some folks selling a car they loved. The cost is your time. You take the photos, write the ad, answer messages at 10 PM, meet strangers for test drives and handle the title and payment yourself. Edmunds notes it can take weeks or months. If there's a loan on it, the buyer has to trust that the lender will release the title after they pay, and plenty of private buyers won't. Fits you if Selling to Sam Scism Ford You want it done in one visit There's a loan or lease to pay off The car needs work a private buyer would balk at You'd rather not meet strangers or handle the title yourself Fits you if Selling it yourself You can wait weeks for the right buyer The title is clear and in your hand The car is clean and in demand You're comfortable handling payment and paperwork Farmington driver tip If you list privately, meet buyers somewhere public and busy in daylight, and don't sign over the title until the money has cleared your bank.

Warranty Forever If you do decide to replace it, every new Ford and most used vehicles sold at Sam Scism Ford come with Warranty Forever at no charge. It covers listed engine, transmission and drive axle parts for as long as you own the vehicle, regardless of miles, with no deductible, as long as you follow the customary maintenance in the agreement and keep records. See the dealer for details. How it works Selling Basics Will Sam Scism Ford buy my car if I'm not shopping for another one? + We buy vehicles outright with no purchase required. You leave with an offer either way. Do you only buy Fords? + Any make and model is welcome, from imports to other domestic brands. What matters is the vehicle's condition and what it's worth in this market. Will you buy a car that needs repairs? + Our sell page says any condition, and that includes mechanical problems and body damage. Mention the issues up front so the online value is closer to the final offer. The Online Offer Is the online value my final offer? + It's a starting number based on how you describe the vehicle. The firm offer comes after our team inspects and drives it. Why can the appraisal come in different from the online value? + Things a form can't capture, like tire wear, warning lights, odors or a rough shift, show up in person. Accurate details online keep the gap small. Can I check my car's value without visiting? + The Value Your Trade tool on our site gives you a starting value from home. Come in when you're ready for a firm number. The Appraisal Visit When can I bring my car in for an appraisal? + During sales hours, Monday through Friday 8 AM to 6 PM and Saturday 9 AM to 5 PM. A call to 573-430-1687 first helps us have an appraiser free. Should I get my car detailed before selling it? + A wash and a cleaned out interior help, and a full detail usually isn't needed. Skip big repairs, since they rarely pay for themselves. What do appraisers look at? + Body, glass, tires, interior, warning lights, how it drives, vehicle history and local demand. Service records help show it was cared for. Titles and Payoffs What if my bank has the title? + Bring your loan payoff information instead. We pay the lender directly and the lender releases the title. How do I get my payoff amount? + Call your lender or check its website for a payoff quote. That figure can differ from your statement balance. What if I lost a key or remote? + Bring the ones you have. A missing key can lower the offer a bit since we'd have to replace it. Private Sale or Dealer Will I make more selling privately? + Often, according to Edmunds, but the sale can take weeks and you handle the ads, test drives and paperwork. Getting our offer first gives you a number to compare against. Can I sell privately if I still have a loan? + It's possible but harder, because ownership can't transfer until the lender releases the lien. Many private buyers won't wait on that. Does Sam Scism Ford sell the cars it buys? + Many of them end up in our used inventory, which is part of why we buy any make. You can browse the lot on our used vehicle pages.
