Why This Vehicle

Why Corpus Christi and Portland Families Drive to Aransas Pass for This Bronco

The most distinctive feature on this Bronco Big Bend's window sticker isn't the G.O.A.T. terrain system or the 12-inch touchscreen — it's the front row heated seats included in the Mid Package 222A. That detail matters because it signals who Ford built this truck for: the parent doing the school run in January when Aransas Bay is running cold fog off the water, the spouse who tolerates the off-road detour to Padre Island because the seat is warm when they get back to pavement. Stock TLA61497, VIN ending A61497, is priced at $47,625 at McGraw Ford — $1,985 below the $49,610 Ford MSRP. No market adjustment. No documentation fee games. For families in Corpus Christi and Portland who've been watching Bronco Big Bend inventory closely, this is the vehicle and this is the price.

The 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 produces 315 lb-ft of torque — enough to tow 3,500 lbs in the morning and navigate Laguna Madre shoreline sand in the afternoon on the same tank of fuel. Ford backs that engine with a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty that extends well beyond the 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper coverage. For families who buy a vehicle and keep it five to eight years — which describes the majority of buyers coming to McGraw Ford from Gregory, Sinton, Beeville, and Victoria — that extended powertrain protection is real financial security against an engine or transmission repair that would otherwise cost thousands out of pocket. The 10-speed SelectShift automatic transmission keeps the EcoBoost in its torque band across every terrain type, from barrier island sand to the interstate stretches of I-37 heading toward San Antonio.

Engineering

Smarter Than Any Trail, Simpler Than Any Showroom Technology Demo

12-Inch SYNC 4 Touchscreen with Ford App Canopy System

The centerpiece of the Big Bend's cabin is a 12-inch portrait-format touchscreen running Ford's SYNC 4 interface — the most capable infotainment system in the Bronco lineup's history. Over-the-air software updates keep the system current without a dealership visit, and the Ford App Canopy platform supports compatible application downloads directly to the vehicle. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, cloud-connected navigation, voice-activated controls, and smart charging USB ports throughout the cabin mean every occupant stays connected from the HEB parking lot in Corpus Christi to a campsite at Goose Island State Park outside Rockport. The system's split-screen capability lets the driver run navigation on one half and audio controls on the other simultaneously.

G.O.A.T. Modes: Eight Terrain Programs Calibrated for South Texas

G.O.A.T. — Goes Over Any Type of Terrain — gives the Big Bend eight selectable electronic drive modes tuned for specific surface conditions encountered across the Coastal Bend. Sand mode loosens traction control thresholds and optimizes throttle mapping for the soft substrate at Padre Island National Seashore and the shell-and-sand access roads along the Laguna Madre shoreline. Mud/Ruts mode maximizes traction on the clay-heavy caliche roads common in San Patricio and Jim Wells Counties between Sinton and Alice. Baja mode raises the throttle response ceiling for open beach driving. Slippery mode handles rain-soaked highway surfaces on Highway 35 and Highway 181 after a Gulf Coast storm. Every adjustment is electronic — no mechanical changes, no tool kit required — making the system as accessible for a family's first beach day as it is for an experienced off-road run.

Corpus Christi · Portland TX · Rockport TX · Coastal Bend

Serving Corpus Christi, Portland, Rockport, and Every Corner of the Coastal Bend

This Oxford White 2026 Ford Bronco Big Bend — Stock TLA61497, VIN ending A61497 — sits on the McGraw Ford lot in Aransas Pass, Texas, roughly 35 miles from downtown Corpus Christi and just 30 miles from Portland, TX. For families in Corpus Christi who've been researching capable 4x4 SUVs without wanting to navigate a high-pressure metro showroom, the drive down Highway 35 to Aransas Pass takes under 40 minutes and lands you at a dealership where the sales process is transparent and the inventory is priced at the McGraw Ford Price — $47,625 for this Bronco Big Bend, against a $49,610 MSRP. Portland buyers crossing the Harbor Bridge or taking the Highway 181 bypass reach McGraw Ford in about the same time and consistently find that the straightforward deal is worth the short trip south. The Bronco Big Bend's 18-inch wheels, 2.3L EcoBoost, and eight G.O.A.T. terrain modes are purpose-built for the specific mix of urban commuting, barrier island adventure, and ranch-road utility that defines daily life on the Coastal Bend.

Rockport residents — just 12 miles north of McGraw Ford on Highway 35 — have made this Bronco one of the most-requested SUVs on our lot. After Hurricane Harvey reshaped local roads and reminded everyone how quickly Aransas Bay shoreline access can change, 4x4 capability stopped being optional for families living near the water. Port Aransas buyers crossing the ferry or arriving via the JFK Causeway find McGraw Ford approximately 18 miles from the island — closer than most Corpus Christi stores once you account for SPID traffic. Ingleside, just 16 miles away via Highway 361 through the coastal marshes where the Laguna Madre begins its long stretch south toward the barrier island chain, has sent a steady stream of buyers our way this model year. Gregory, TX — a tight-knit community of roughly 2,000 residents about 26 miles north near the Gregory-Portland city limits — punches above its size in McGraw Ford sales; word travels fast in a small town, and the Bronco Big Bend's honest $47,625 price resonates with practical families who compare every option before signing anything.

Marisol T. — Corpus Christi, TX
★★★★★
"Drove down Highway 35 from Corpus Christi to McGraw Ford in Aransas Pass and it was worth every minute. We needed something that handles school drop-offs Monday through Friday and a Padre Island beach run on weekends without any compromise. The Big Bend in Oxford White is exactly that vehicle. The 12-inch SYNC 4 screen keeps everyone entertained on longer hauls toward Kingsville for soccer tournaments, and the rear A/C and heat ducts mean my youngest isn't complaining from the back seat on the return trip. The sales team walked us through every G.O.A.T. mode — we've already used Sand mode twice at the National Seashore. The heated front seats sealed it for my spouse. Couldn't be happier with the price or the overall experience at McGraw."

Derek W. — Portland, TX
★★★★★
"I'd been watching this Bronco Big Bend inventory at McGraw Ford from Portland for a while and finally pulled the trigger. The Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking was the deciding feature for me — I commute on Highway 181 daily and wanted that active protection layer. The 2.3L EcoBoost has more punch than I expected, especially merging near the Gregory interchange on US-181. Dealers in Corpus Christi wanted market adjustment; McGraw had a straight deal at $47,625. The drive from Portland is 30 minutes — less time than I've spent in a Corpus Christi dealership waiting room. Five-year powertrain warranty sealed it."
2026-02-28 · Google
Angie R. — Rockport, TX
★★★★★
"Living in Rockport means every other weekend involves a beach road, a shell-covered parking lot, or a low-water crossing after a storm rolls through Aransas Bay. The Bronco Big Bend 4x4 handles all of it without drama. The heated front seats were a bonus my spouse was particularly sold on — mornings on the waterfront in January are colder than people expect this far south. McGraw Motors is 12 miles from our house on Highway 35, so service is never a burden. The AdvanceTrac with RSC already caught a sandy slide on the Rockport Beach access road near the pier. I'd call that worth every dollar of the purchase price."

Safety & Driver Assist

Built to Protect Your Family on Every Coastal Bend Road

Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking

The 2026 Bronco Big Bend's Pre-Collision Assist system monitors the road ahead continuously, issuing visual and audible alerts when it detects an imminent collision — and when the driver doesn't respond in time, Automatic Emergency Braking intervenes independently to reduce impact severity or avoid the event entirely. On coastal highways like Business 35 through Gregory and Aransas Pass, Highway 361 over the causeway, and the JFK Bridge approach to Port Aransas, where sudden stops at draw bridges and intersections happen without warning, this system provides an active safety layer that protects every passenger in all four seats regardless of the driver's reaction time.

AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control (RSC)

Ford's AdvanceTrac electronic stability program reads vehicle dynamics hundreds of times per second, applying individual wheel brakes and adjusting engine output to correct oversteer and understeer before the driver senses a problem developing. The integrated Roll Stability Control monitors the vehicle's lean angle during cornering — a decisive advantage in a higher-riding 4x4 SUV on rain-slicked Highway 361 bridge approaches, sandy Padre Island access roads, and the elevated causeways spanning the Laguna Madre between the mainland and the barrier island chain. For families with children in rear seating positions, RSC is the last line of active electronic defense against rollover in an emergency maneuver.

The 2026 Ford Bronco Big Bend earned a 4-Star Overall Safety Rating from NHTSA — and that number reflects a vehicle engineered with rear-seat passengers in mind from the first design brief. Ford equipped the Big Bend with an active-safety suite that includes Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking, AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, Individual Tire Pressure Monitoring, Hill Start Assist, and a Belt-Minder chime system that keeps every occupant buckled on every trip. Side-impact curtain airbags protect both rows, the LATCH child safety system simplifies car seat installation, and rear child safety door locks are standard equipment — not an option package. For families driving Highway 35 between Corpus Christi and Aransas Pass, crossing the JFK Causeway to Port Aransas, or navigating the shell-road beach accesses on Mustang Island, the Bronco Big Bend's safety architecture is the reason this SUV is on their shortlist over every alternative in this segment.

Competitor data from manufacturer specs. Performance figures are program/test results and vary by conditions.

vs. Chevy Colorado ZR2

The Chevy Colorado ZR2 posts 310 horsepower and a legitimate off-road resume, but its price climbs well above the Big Bend's $47,625 McGraw Ford Price — and its pickup bed format provides zero protection for rear-seat passengers on rough Coastal Bend shell roads. The Colorado ZR2's 7,700-lb tow rating looks strong on paper, but families headed to Padre Island National Seashore or crossing the Laguna Madre causeways toward Port Aransas rarely need that capacity. Chevrolet backs the Colorado ZR2 with a 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty — the same base coverage as the Bronco — but Ford adds a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty and 5-year roadside assistance at no extra cost. The Big Bend's standard Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking is also absent at the base Colorado ZR2 tier. When your destination is a barrier island beach and your cargo includes car seats and a 12-inch SYNC 4 touchscreen, the Bronco Big Bend outpoints the Colorado ZR2 where coastal families vote with their wallets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About This Vehicle

What terrain modes does the 2026 Ford Bronco Big Bend include, and which works best for Texas Gulf Coast conditions?

The 2026 Bronco Big Bend includes Ford's G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) system with eight selectable drive modes: Normal, Eco, Sport, Slippery, Sand, Baja, Mud/Ruts, and Rock Crawl. For the Coastal Bend environment — barrier island sand, shell roads, and wet causeways around the Laguna Madre — Sand mode is the most frequently used. It adjusts throttle response, transmission shift points, and traction control calibration specifically for loose, shifting surfaces like those found at Padre Island National Seashore and the beach access roads between Port Aransas and Aransas Pass. Slippery mode handles rain-soaked Highway 35 and Highway 361 bridge approaches with equal competence. All mode changes are electronic — no mechanical swaps or hardware modifications required — making the system accessible whether you're a first-time Bronco driver or a seasoned off-road enthusiast running the Laguna Madre shoreline.

How does the 2026 Ford Bronco Big Bend's safety rating compare to other SUVs in its price class?

The 2026 Ford Bronco Big Bend earned a 4-Star Overall Safety Rating from NHTSA, placing it among the strongest performers in the 4x4 SUV segment at its price point. The Big Bend includes standard Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking — actively intervening if a collision is imminent, an important advantage on coastal highways like Highway 361 and Business 35 where sudden stops occur without warning. Standard safety content also includes dual-stage front airbags, side-impact curtain airbags for both rows, AdvanceTrac with Roll Stability Control, Individual Tire Pressure Monitoring, Hill Start Assist, a LATCH child safety seat anchor system, and rear child safety door locks. Ford's Personal Safety System coordinates airbag deployment with seat belt pretensioners and force limiters. The 5-year/60,000-mile roadside assistance program covers unexpected situations on remote Coastal Bend roads far from the nearest service center.
