Not content with showing off a bunch of modified versions of its lineup at SEMA, Ford has decided to introduce the most outrageous 2022 Ford Bronco you'll be able to buy: the Ford Bronco DR. The "DR" stands for "Desert Runner," which is exactly what the truck is built for. It's intended for the Baja 1000 with a V8 and Multimatic spool-valve shocks among other things, and you can have one.

Yes, unlike road-going Broncos, the DR gets the 5.0-liter Coyote V8. Exact output hasn't been announced yet, but Ford says it will make more than 400 horsepower, which seems more than doable. It's paired with the 10-speed automatic transmission and transfer case from the Ford F-150. At either end of the truck are electronic locking differentials, and beefier custom half-axles were added at the front.

Surprisingly, there is a fair bit of stock Bronco in this truck. The frame and body structure carry over from the standard four-door Bronco, though it does feature all-new fiberglass body panels. The brake calipers and rotors are even stock, though better pads have been added.
