If you’re in the market for a Ford Bronco, but want the greatest off-road capability available in the series, you’ll shortly be able to own a limited-edition V8 Bronco. Ford recently released the new and rugged Bronco DR, based on a 2022 Bronco four-door design with unique body and chassis adjustments for high-speed desert racing. It also includes a Coyote 5.0-liter V8 engine that churns out over 400-hp for earth-shaking power.
The unique and custom Ford SUV is built solely for off-road use and arrives ready to race. Ford is in the works to enter a prototype of the Bronco DR in the 2022 SCORE Baja 1000, fashioned in a patriotic red, white, and blue color palette to honor the standard Bronco winner of the 1969 Baja 1000 race.
While vehicle specifics for the Bronco DR haven't been officiated, the Bronco DR includes plenty of hardware specially built for off-road desert racing. Veteran Ford Performance collaborator Multimatic bolstered the Bronco brand-exclusive High-Performance Off-Road Stability Suspension (H.O.S.S.) system, adding Positional Selective DSSV Dampers as well as Multimatic-designed aluminum control arms.
“Bronco DR is our ultimate turnkey off-road racing SUV, engineered to put enthusiasts behind the wheel of a desert racing force,” said Mark Rushbrook, Ford Performance Motorsports global director. “This collaboration between Ford Performance and Multimatic continues the Bronco desert racing legacy that dates back to Rod Hall and Larry Minor’s never-repeated overall Baja 1000 win in a stock Bronco in 1969.”
The limited edition Bronco DR is equipped with the reliable 10R80 transmission, and torque is relayed via an independent electronically locking front and rear differential. The vehicle’s front half-shafts are custom RCV designs to guarantee robustness for increased torque capacity and suspension carry.
