Ford is preparing several Broncos for the 2021 SEMA Show.
Although it missed its chance at last year's SEMA Show due to some sort of pandemic, Ford's newest Bronco will be at the front of the line at the Blue Oval booth at this year's Tuning Festival. That's because the new Bronco and Bronco Sport have been designed and developed with modifications in mind.
Ahead of the SEMA Show opening on November 2, Ford has teased several Bronco-based builds. Four are based on the Bronco and two on the smaller Bronco Sport, including everything from a Baja desert racer to a build fitted with tank-like tracks designed to carve through deep snow and ice.
2021 Ford Bronco RTR Fun-Runner by RTR Vehicles: First up is a Bronco build by semi-official Ford tuner RTR Vehicles, Vaughn Gittin Jr.'s skunkworks front and rear Ultimate Dana 44 FDUs and Ultimate Dana 60 axles, Fox coilovers, beadlock wheels and 37-inch off-road tires, and intake and exhaust tuning transformed the two-door badlands into a fun desert racer.
2021 Ford Bronco by BDS Suspension: a subsidiary of Fox Shocks and longtime Ford partner, BDS Suspension built an off-roader for the first responder. The base model is a two-door Black Diamond, to which BDS added a 4-inch UCA system with Fox coilovers, BDS rear adjustable control arms and track bar, sway bar disconnects, and 37-inch off-road tires.
2021 Ford Bronco by Tucci Hot Rods: Also worth mentioning is the snow and ice carver by Tucci Hot Rods: the four-door Badlands-based SUV's wheels are equally at home on snow and sand, with Mattracks 88- Series quad tracks have been swapped out. Accessories include a Yakima Rock 'n' Road platform roof rack system, rigid light bar, and Warn winch.
2021 Ford Bronco Baja Forged by LGE-CTS Motorsports: The final Bronco build is the work of veteran Ford SEMA builder Teresa Contreras. She is the designer of Baja Forged Parts and added the company's Bronco bumpers front and rear, as well as flared fenders and a spare tire carrier. Other upgrades include an Icon Vehicle Dynamics 3.0 suspension lift, a JBL audio system, and a refrigerator.
2021 Ford Bronco Sport BAJA Forged by LGE-CTS Motorsports: Bronco Sport fans didn't miss out; LGE-CTS Motorsports co-owner Sara Morosan is ready for some seriously rough roads! She spearheaded the creation of the Bronco Sport Badlands. Upgrades include a 2.0-inch lift kit, tubular bumpers from Baja Forged Parts, and a Borla cat-back exhaust system.
2021 Ford Bronco Sport by CGS Performance Products: the last build previewed by Ford was another Bronco Sport, this time designed for on-road performance. Major upgrades include cold air intakes and cat-back exhaust, 17-inch Reserve Forged wheels and Toyo tires, Air Design fender flares and rear spoiler.
According to the automaker, some of the parts fitted to the vehicle are offered and currently available from Ford's own catalog of Bronco and Bronco Sport parts and accessories. Popular items include front drive units for up to 5.38:1 gear sets, reinforced steering rack and tie rod ends, performance tuning for the standard 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-4 engine, and wheels in a variety of designs.
