Ford is provided a sneak peek at the upcoming Bronco Everglades. Originally announced in October, the model will be launched next spring and feature a number of off-road focused upgrades. Besides the factory-installed winch and snorkel that were announced this fall, The Bronco Nation says the SUV will be equipped with unique wheels wrapped in 35-inch Goodyear Territory MT tires. The model is also slated to have a hard top with integrated roof rails.
Getting back to the winch, it’s apparently
the same one that is already offered on the current Bronco. It’s a US$ 3,500
accessory which requires the heavy duty modular front bumper and includes a 4,536 kg. Warn winch with 30 meters of line as well as a
wired remote. While the winch could come in handy on the trail, it’s not
compatible with adaptive cruise control so that feature will likely be missing
on the Everglades.
Since the model is just a special edition,
we can expect engine options to carryover. As a result, the Bronco Everglades
will likely come equipped with a 2.3-liter EcoBoost four-cylinder engine that
develops up to 300 hp and 440 Nm of torque on
premium gasoline. Customers should also be able to upgrade to a 2.7-liter
EcoBoost V6, which offers up to 330 hp and 562 Nm of torque.
That remains unconfirmed and
specifications reportedly won’t be released until the first quarter of 2022.
