Rejoice, the modified Ford Broncos are here
Ford teams up with the aftermarket to create approved parts and accessories for the new Bronco
When the new Ford Bronco lands this summer, along with it will launch a catalogue of more than 200 parts and accessories. Now the Blue Oval has crashed this week’s Easter Jeep Safari in Moab to announce partnerships with three off-road aftermarket companies, with the aim of creating even more Ford-approved kit for the most adventurous Bronco owners.
Said companies are RTR Vehicles, ARB 4x4 Accessories and 4 Wheel Parts. Together with Ford they’ll develop a “wide range of Bronco and Bronco Sport-specific aftermarket components” such as “suspension and lift kits, custom wheels and body components, performance driveline parts, plus an extensive list of camping and off-road accessories such as tents, racks, storage solutions and lighting”.
Each of the companies has put together a concept to demonstrate the kind of kit on offer. RTR’s is the silver one with the black/green graphics and no roof. It has a custom rear bumper and rock sliders, a 3D-printed grille, spotlights, 35-inch Nitto tyres and a 12-volt fridge/freezer.
The ARB Bronco – guess which one that is – has similar mods. Bumpers, rock sliders, plus a differential cover, jack, compressor and, yes, another fridge/freezer. The 4 Wheel Parts car (bright red) gets a winch, heavy-duty suspension, a custom roof rack with a roof tent/awning and 37-inch tyres.
The dark red Bronco is Ford’s own. It gets a 40-inch curved lightbar, a full-length retractable soft top, secure stowage and much besides.
Which one’s your favourite?
