Ford SUVs are quite civilized machines, often boasting car-like handling on the road, decent mileage, and comfort-oriented features. The 2021 Bronco is about to change all that, but it's possible to also turn something like the Expedition into an off-road adventure vehicle.
That's right, the Expedition, a big SUV with lots of room for people and carbon, not some short-wheelbase Bronco with tiny overhangs. If you've ever wondered what it would be like to have a Raptor-like family SUV, this comes pretty close. First, we'll draw your attention to the rendering recently posted by wb.artist20. Massive tires, a suspension lift, and roof lights all indicate a vehicle that's ready to go into the desert or is ready for extreme camping.
But he didn't perform that many changes, just the 2-door conversion to make it appear like a classic SUV. This style is a match for an earlier rendering where the new F-150 is converted into a Bronco Tremor, again shaped like retro 4x4 before four-door bodies became the norm.
But the vehicle itself is very real. The "Baja Forged Adventure" Expedition presented at quite a few shows in 2018, including SEMA. Unless we're mistaken Ford also had it on their stand. It's ready to take you far away from urban life with some extreme off-road mods, centered around suspension lift.
The coilover and sway bar kit makes room for some massive 35-inch tires on beadlock alloys. Both sets of bumpers have been chopped for off-roading, while a tubular flame and underbody protection are there for care-free off-roading. The roof is occupied by an APR tent with an aluminum awning, touring camp chains, and LED accessory lights. There's also a freezer somewhere on this bad boy, while the 3.5-liter EcoBoost breathes easier thanks to Borla cat-back exhaust. Oh, and it has this Lincoln Navigator for a brother.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
