Built for Nova Scotia’s Wild Side: Ford Canada Unveils the Bronco® Filson™ Edition

Publié 8 juin 2026

Big news from Ford Canada this week for anyone in Nova Scotia who treats the backcountry like a second address. The Blue Oval has just pulled the cover off the all-new Ford Bronco® Filson™ Edition — a limited, ultra-rugged collaboration with the legendary American outfitter Filson, and it is purpose-built for the kind of dirt-road, coastal-cliff, and Cape Split trailhead adventures our Annapolis Valley customers live for.

Dropped via the official Ford Canada YouTube channel on June 8, 2026, the new Bronco® Filson™ pairs the go-anywhere DNA of Bronco with nearly 130 years of Filson field-tested craftsmanship. Waxed canvas, Filson tin cloth accents, custom badging, and a premium cabin trimmed in materials that look as good caked in marsh mud as they do pulling up to a King’s-Place dinner in Kentville. It is the most lifestyle-forward Bronco ever to wear a Canadian spec sheet — and Valley Ford cannot wait to put one in your driveway.

What Makes the Bronco® Filson™ Special

The Ford Bronco® Filson™ Edition is more than a paint-and-badge job. It rolls out of the factory with a 2.7L EcoBoost V6, standard 4x4 with advanced 4WD, and the segment-leading G.O.A.T. (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) Modes — seven of them, each tuned for the specific surface beneath your tires. Around the Annapolis Valley that means a setting for the sand tracks at Rainbow Haven, the mud ruts behind Gaspereau, the snow-packed side roads around Canning, and the loose gravel climbs up to Blomidon.

Visually, the Filson touch is unmistakable. The signature waxed canvas — a Filson hallmark since 1897 — appears on the seat inserts and door trim, paired with a debossed Filson logo and Bronco badging finished in matte bronze. Hard-core exterior add-ons include a heavy-duty front bumper with recovery points, 35-inch all-terrain tires on beadlock-capable wheels, and a factory winch rated for serious backcountry pulls. For a province where a Saturday can mean lobsters in Hall’s Harbour and a Sunday means a trail run to Cape Split, it is dialed in.

Why Nova Scotia Drivers Are Going to Love It

Let’s be honest: Nova Scotia throws everything at a vehicle. Coastal salt spray on the Fundy shore. Black ice on the highway between Kentville and New Minas. Two feet of snow in February. A wet, leaf-strewn backroad in October. The Bronco® Filson™ is engineered to shrug it all off while keeping the cabin as comfortable as a downtown Halifax coffee shop.

The new Bronco Filson is the most adventure-ready SUV Ford Canada has ever put on a dealer lot. It is the truck you take to the trailhead Saturday and the dealership service lane Monday — without skipping a beat.

At Valley Ford, we have been matching Nova Scotians with Fords for decades, and we can already hear the questions: “What about the winter package?” “Does it tow my boat to Port George?” “Can I get it in my favourite Filson green?” The short answer to all three is yes. The long answer is the kind we love giving over a coffee at our 898 Park St, Kentville showroom.
