Meet the MegaBronc, a Ford Bronco/F-250 Mash-Up That Seats Seven

• North Carolina's MegaRexx has turned the Ford Bronco into an F250-based seven-passenger convertible called the MegaBronc, and these behemoths are being snapped up as quickly as they can make them.

• The MegaBronc is based on a Ford F-250 diesel truck with a lot of Bronco parts added to it.

• The truck bed is now six inches shorter, but the vehicle itself is eight inches wider. Those tires are 40 inches. The price is much bigger, too.

From 1978 to 1996, the Ford Bronco was basically a regular-cab pickup truck with a bench seat in the bed and a removable cap over the rear seat and cargo area. One company, Centurion Vehicles, said, "But what if it were a four-door?" and grafted the tail ends of Broncos onto crew-cab F-series trucks to create the three-row Centurion Classic. In that spirit of Brobdingnagian Broncos, MegaRexx of Wilmington, North Carolina, decided to create its own three-row full-size Bronco: the MegaBronc. And for $224,950, Megarexx will build one for you, too.

This MegaBronc started as a diesel-powered 2021 Ford F-250 4x4 before undergoing extensive Broncosmetic surgery. Its headlights and grille are real Bronco pieces (two grilles, actually, were required to span Super Duty width), while the front fenders and hood are custom fiberglass pieces that evoke the Bronco's slab-sided lines. The rear fenders get a similar treatment, so even though the new panels render the F-250 eight inches wider than stock, it doesn't look it. The bed is shortened by six inches to give it a much tidier overhang, and a mild lift accommodates 40-inch-tall tires. The Bronco-ization is most effective at the front end—in profile, from the cab back, it's easy to see a Super Duty with a cap on the bed.

Until that cap comes off and reveals: seats! Just like a Centurion Classic or a Mercedes-Maybach G650 Landaulet, the MegaBronc's rearmost passengers can go al fresco. To engineer that feat, Megarexx removed the back wall of the F-250's cab, welded the bed to the cab, and installed second-row captain's chairs and third-row seats from an Expedition. A steel roll structure flanks the third-row seats and provides a mounting location for the shoulder belts and LED lighting. Legroom is extravagant, and there's still significant cargo space behind the third row. This truck was built off the short-wheelbase (159.8 inch) Super Duty Crew Cab, so a 176-inch long-wheelbase truck would have room for Tacko Fall in the third row. At least, with the roof off.
