As the all-new Bronco prepares to enter full production, the Ford Motor Company has fired up the accessories website for the mid-sized utility vehicle. Highlights include the TrekTop vinyl soft top, which costs $2,229 for two- and four-door models, excluding shipping and installation.
A twill version is available for $650 less, and both versions allow the tailgate to open without interference from the rear window. Designed to work seamlessly with the factory doors, the TrekTop can open from inside of the vehicle. It also features no-zipper windows for easy removal.
The Sunrider twill soft top that replaces the front-row overhead hardtop is listed at $1,299 for either body style, and 18-inch machined wheels retail at $1,299 for a set of five (including tire-pressure sensors, center caps, and lug nuts). Another expensive accessory comes in the guise of a two-person roof tent with PU coating, a wall-to-wall mattress, and mesh panels for the princely sum of $1,859. The four-season tent requires Yakima crossbars.
At the lower end of the spectrum, official accessories include a rubber hitch plug with the Bronco logo, a battery jump starter, floor-mounted cargo nets, a soft-sided cooler bag, trailer hitch balls, locking hitch pins, ash cups and coin holders, Ford Performance stainless-steel license plate frames, hitch shackle kits, black-painted lug nuts, splash guards, and Bronco-themed sill plates. Approximately 200 official items are offered at the moment of writing, and the Blue Oval is certain to add a few more in the coming years.
In case you’ve missed it, chief executive officer Jim Farley has recently suggested that an electric option is coming to the Bronco. He didn’t go into detail, but when you think about it, the Ford Motor Company has to roll out an e-Bronco to steal customers away from the upcoming Jeep Wrangler EV.
Also worthy of note, the final specifications for the 2.3- and 2.7-liter EcoBoost are better than expected. When fueled with premium gasoline, the four-cylinder turbo develops 300 horsepower and 325 pound-feet (441 Nm) of torque. The twin-turbo sixer levels up to 330 horsepower and 415 pound-feet (563 Nm) of torque. Both can run on 87 octane as well.
