Which Bronco model has a removable top?
All current Ford Bronco models have removable tops, including both the two‑door and four‑door versions, with options for soft tops and modular hardtops that can be removed in sections.
In the modern Bronco lineup, open-air capability is a core feature. Ford offers multiple roof configurations that can be removed or folded away, depending on the trim and roof option chosen. This article explains which Bronco models support a removable top and how the options differ by body style.
Removable top across the lineup
The key point for buyers is that the removable-top feature is not limited to a single model year or trim. Whether you select a two‑door or a four‑door Bronco, you can typically opt for a roof configuration that can be removed or opened to varying degrees, using Ford’s roof systems and soft-top options.
Roof options that enable open-air driving
Before listing the main roof configurations, note that availability depends on year, trim, and optional packages. The following options represent the primary ways Ford equips the Bronco for open-air driving.
- Soft top: A fabric roof that can be rolled back or removed, enabling open-air access without tools on most trims.
- Modular hardtop: A multi-panel hard roof system that can be removed in sections, allowing varying degrees of openness while offering more weather protection when installed.
- Removable roof panels: Specific panels (front and sometimes rear) that detach to increase air flow and openness; supported on both 2‑door and 4‑door configurations depending on the roof option.
In practice, these options make the Bronco a standout for outdoor enthusiasts, with the flexibility to switch between fully enclosed driving and open-air exploration in minutes.
Historical context
The original Ford Bronco (1966–1977) was famous for its removable top and doors, a hallmark of classic off-road capability. The modern Bronco revival preserves that heritage, reintroducing removable-top options across a wider range of trims and modern safety standards.
Practical considerations for buyers
When shopping, consider climate, intended use, and maintenance. Soft tops are lightweight and typically easier to replace, while modular hardtops offer stronger insulation but are heavier and sometimes more costly to remove and reinstall. The number of doors and roof panels also affects cargo space and daily usability.
Summary: The Ford Bronco lineup centers on removable-top capability, with multiple roof configurations available on both 2‑door and 4‑door models to support open-air adventures and year-round practicality.
