Bronco is Ford’s iconic model that’s changed the perception of off-road racing vehicles. Bill Stroppe prepped this performance off-roader for the Baja 1000 and NORRA Mexican 1000. The Bronco modded by Stroppe in 1969 is the only stock 4×4 to claim an outright win to date. Ever since, the automotive giant has built on the success of the Bronco in all its formats, since its first model in 1966. He has had a major influence in the world of motorsports as well as the exciting world of hot rods, NASCAR, Le Mans and Pikes Peak races.

To celebrate the legacy of the Baja Broncos created by the man, Ford has created a modern-day limited edition version that’s aptly named the 2025 Ford Bronco Stroppe Special Edition. Each one of these models will come in a two-door format (like the Wildtrak) with color theme done beautifully in Atlas Blue, Oxford White, and Ford’s special Code Orange paint. This is honed by the Stroppe badging on the front and rear fenders, along with the squared-off wheel arches.

The limited edition Bronco Stroppe is a desert racer at its heart with the standard EcoBoost 2.7-liter V-6 engine that churns out 330 horses and 415 pound-feet of torque. All this power on the all-wheel drive goes through the 10-speed automatic transmission. Ford has the G.O.A.T mode in this one for even more power. The hunk rides on 35-inch Goodyear Territory RT tires wrapping the black 17-inch beadlock capable wheels. The setup is aided by the HOSS 3.0 suspension with Fox internal-bypass dampers.

Coming back to the exteriors, the Bronco has a white grille with “BRONCO” script in Code Orange. This contrasts strikingly with the matte black hood and tailgate. The steel front bumper has tow hooks in Code Orange. On the inside, you’ll get the special edition white dash panel with “BRONCO” in (you guessed it right) Code Orange. This hue is found on the G.O.A.T drive mode selector, stitching, dashboard, seats and grab handles. The “Stroppe Edition” badge marks its presence on the center console.

Ford has not yet revealed the pricing of the new model, and the SUV will be available in January 2025. We can expect some word about the pricing to come in the coming months between that time.

Bronco and Mustang are Ford’s acclaimed models that have redefined the performance car industry. Now the US-based automotive giant wants to ride the e-bike wave just like Jeep, Porsche and GM have done. They’ve collaborated with bike company N Plus to create two e-bikes inspired by the legendary models.

The high-performance two-wheelers not only carry the aesthetical legacy of the Bronco and Mustang but also deliver with their high-performance hardware. The Bronco version has an off-roading character while the Mustang one has the pure muscle to beat any other e-bike in a drag race.

According to Tyler Hill, Ford’s global brand licensing manager, “These new e-bikes will allow more people to experience the adventurous spirit of a Bronco and the exhilaration of a Mustang from the moment they grip the handlebar.” That’s evident from the specifications of the two models. Both these variants will have four-piston hydraulic brakes and a center-aligned colored LCD panel to display vital information including speed, battery life and range.

The Bronco e-bike gets a 750W hub motor for superior torque of 85 Nm to conquer steep hills and a dual-suspension system to counter the punishment of the rugged terrain. Ford calls this G.O.A.T (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain). This e-bike with a motorcycle-styled comfortable saddle is rated as Class 3 as it can hit top speeds of 28 mph. The battery range is promised at 60 miles on a single charge, and it can be topped in 3.5 hours. This one will ride on Pirelli Scorpion Enduro M hardwall 27.5 x 2.6-inch tires for better grip and traction out of tight corners.

The sporty Mustang e-bike will further come in two variants with specifications more or less same as the beefier Bronco variant. One will be a standard model and the other a limited-edition Mustang 60^th Anniversary Edition for purists. Both versions will get the Pirelli Angel GT semi-slick tires. The seat is going to be more conventional and you will instantly like the Mustang-style triple-bar tail light.

Coming from the house of Ford, these celebrated models will have a steep starting price of $4,500 for the Bronco’s Area 51 blue model and $4,000 for the Mustang Carbonized Gray Metallic version. Buyers can also choose from 10 custom paint color options that’ll add $390 to the cost. The e-bikes can be pre-ordered right away from the company’s website. Deliveries are expected to commence later this year.
