Ford at the SEMA Show showed off the amazing capabilities of the Bronco and Bronco Sport
Last year at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas (November 2-5), Ford showcased a diverse lineup of custom two- and four-door Bronco and Bronco Sport SUVs. This is due to the launch of the new brand The Built Wild Bronco, where cars can be personalized for any purpose.
At its booth, Ford was showcasing four custom Broncos and two Bronco Sport, which were prepared by the off-road industry's leading designers. Each of them has genuine Ford and Ford Performance parts, licensed accessories, as well as a variety of spare parts and parts for individual use.
“Bronco and Bronco Sport customers love parts and accessories that highlight off-road performance and lifestyle, which is why we spent a lot of time developing custom-made products,” said Eric Xing, Ford’s Global Director of Vehicle Customization, Accessories and Licensing. . “Since the launch of both models, we have prepared more than 350 parts and accessories for Bronco and Bronco Sport, and the number is constantly growing.”
With its modular design for quick and easy setup, and wide range of aftermarket parts, the Bronco was nominated for the first ever SEMA 4×4 SUV of the Year Award.
In addition, vintage and racing Broncos are on display near the convention center's main entrance, where visitors to the show can experience the off-road capability of the Bronco and Bronco Sport.
