What should a Bronco out-the-door price include in Texas?

A Bronco out-the-door price is the vehicle price plus Texas sales tax, title and registration fees, and any documentary fee, so ask for each line in writing before you agree to a number. For a Bronco, the sales tax is 6.25% of the sales price, and any trade-in allowance comes off that price first (Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, 2026).

Registration starts with a $50.75 base fee for a passenger vehicle or truck of 6,000 pounds or less, and Harris County adds an $11.50 local fee (Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, 2026). The title fee for a Harris County applicant is $33 (Texas Department of Motor Vehicles Title Manual, 2026).

Texas presumes a documentary fee of $225 or less reasonable. Before a dealer charges more than $225, it must give the Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner a notification and a cost analysis (7 Tex. Admin. Code § 84.205).

How do you get a trade-in offer before you shop for a Bronco?

Get your trade value before you shop by entering your license plate, VIN, or make and model on our Value Your Trade page and clicking Get My Price. Our online offer arrives in minutes, so you walk in with a number for your trade already in hand.

Our payment calculator accepts a trade-in offer amount, so you can see the trade applied to your numbers.

How do you test drive a Bronco in Southwest Houston?

Yes, we offer home test drives and deliveries, so you can drive the Bronco you want where you live before you decide. We also ship cars out of state.

Bring the trim you picked, so the drive covers the car you plan to buy. Ford lists the 4-door Bronco at 189.4 inches long and 73.0 inches tall with the soft top, so check the length against your garage before the drive.

How should you pay for a Bronco: finance, lease or cash?

Choose finance, a Ford lease or cash by comparing the same Bronco on the same terms. Ford leases are available here, as is financing on new and pre-owned cars, and every credit type can apply.

When you compare auto loan offers, look at the APR, the interest rate, the length of the loan, and the total amount financed (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 2024). The CFPB notes that some financial experts recommend an auto loan of five years or less (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, 2024).

Get a written quote from a bank or credit union too, then compare the APR and total amount on both offers.

Frequently asked questions

Can you take the roof and doors off a Ford Bronco?

Ford’s owner’s manual covers removing the doors, and it says removal is for off-road use only (Ford Bronco Owner’s Manual, 2025). Removing them turns off the rear seat occupant alert and affects protection from the safety canopy and front seat side airbags in a crash or rollover. The manual calls for a torque wrench on the door hinge bolts, set to 22 lb.ft (30 Nm) when the doors go back on.

How much can a Ford Bronco tow?

According to Ford’s published 2026 specifications, the Bronco Base, Big Bend, Outer Banks and Badlands are rated to tow 3,500 pounds when properly equipped with the 2.3-liter four-cylinder and 10-speed automatic. The Heritage Edition and Stroppe Edition carry the same 3,500-pound rating with the 2.7-liter V6. The Raptor is rated at 4,500 pounds with its 3.0-liter V6.

What fuel economy does a Ford Bronco get?

The EPA certifies the 2026 Bronco 4WD with the 2.3-liter four-cylinder and automatic at 18 city, 22 highway and 20 combined miles per gallon (EPA, 2026 model year). The Outer Banks with the 2.7-liter V6 and automatic is rated 19, 21 and 20. The Raptor’s 3.0-liter V6 is rated 15 city, 16 highway and 15 combined.

How many people does a Ford Bronco seat, and how much cargo space does it have?

The 2-door seats four, with 52.0 cubic feet of cargo behind the first row and 20.6 behind the second, according to Ford’s published 2026 specifications. The 4-door hard top and soft top each seat five. The hard top offers 77.6 cubic feet behind the first row and 35.6 behind the second, and the soft top offers 83.0 and 38.3.

What warranty comes with a new Ford Bronco?

Ford’s published 2026 specifications list a basic warranty of 3 years or 36,000 miles, a powertrain warranty of 5 years or 60,000 miles, and corrosion coverage lasting 5 years with unlimited miles.

What does Ford certified pre-owned coverage include?

Our certified pre-owned Fords carry a Ford-backed extended powertrain limited warranty and a bumper-to-bumper limited warranty. Ford’s Blue Advantage program has a Gold Certified tier for models up to 6 years old with less than 80,000 miles that pass a 172-point inspection, and that tier adds a 12-month or 12,000-mile comprehensive limited warranty (Ford Motor Company, 2026).

What should you do if a Houston dealer adds charges you did not ask for on a Bronco?

Check the contract for every charge, since Texas requires a documentary fee to be disclosed separately, with the Finance Code § 348.006 description nearby (7 Tex. Admin. Code § 84.804). If a charge is missing from the paperwork, file a complaint with the Texas Office of Consumer Credit Commissioner through its online portal, choosing Motor Vehicle Financing. Upload signed contracts, payment receipts and payment history with the complaint. For general questions, call the OCCC consumer helpline at 800-538-1579.
