Ford showcased two special Bronco-based concept vehicles at the Bronco Stampede off-road event in Moab, Utah.
These models, introduced to compete with Jeep’s traditional Easter Safari event, are characterized by their extreme off-road performance and impressive customization potential.
Two Moab-Inspired Special Editions Push the Boundaries
The first model, the Bronco Off-Roadeo Arches Edition, is based on the 4-door Badlands trim.
Named after the red sandstone arch formations of the Moab region, this vehicle features an electric soft top, a WARN winch, Rigid auxiliary lights, a 2-inch lift kit, 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, and 37-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain tires.
The second model, the Bronco Off-Roadeo Cliffhanger, is based on the 2-door Badlands and focuses on extreme off-road performance.
The Cliffhanger model features 18-inch wheels, 40-inch BFGoodrich Baja tires, tubular doors, a Bimini top, and a suspension system with FOX live valve dampers. Custom fender flares and wheel arches are added, completing its rugged exterior.
According to Ford, the Arches Edition is designed as the ideal setup for up to five people to traverse Moab’s challenging trails. At the same time, the Cliffhanger is described as a technical conqueror built to crawl slowly yet powerfully over rugged rock terrain.
The two models unveiled are not just concept cars for display; they serve as Moab-style blueprints that consumers can implement.
Most of the parts used in these models can be purchased through the Ford Performance Parts and Accessories website or from third-party manufacturers.
Ford emphasized that the Bronco is a modular platform, and these vehicles are an example of the potential for owners to assemble their own Bronco.
Both models also feature unique graphics, Code Orange accents, and matte protective film for a more distinctive look. The interior of each vehicle includes graphics inspired by ancient petroglyphs and GPS coordinates from the Moab region.
The Cliffhanger model, in particular, adds Recaro seats to enhance the driving experience. These design elements go beyond mere functionality, infusing the vehicles with a sense of local character and brand identity.
Bronco’s Diverse Powertrain Lineup and Off-Road Prowess
While the specific performance specs of the two models were not mentioned, the 2025 Bronco lineup offers a variety of powertrain options.
The base model has a 2.3-liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine, producing 304 horsepower and 44.9 kg·m (324 lb-ft) of torque. There is also a 2.7-liter V6 EcoBoost engine that delivers 335 horsepower and 56.2 kg·m (414 lb-ft) of torque, along with the high-performance Raptor trim, which generates 424 horsepower and 59.6 kg·m (438 lb-ft) of torque.
Ford emphasized that the Bronco Off-Roadeo experience is available to all Bronco buyers. Through this experience, even beginners can safely learn off-roading.
The two Bronco project cars will be showcased through real driving demos at Ford’s high-performance off-road track in Moab and during the Bronco Nation Trail Drive, where they will meet and engage directly with the audience.
