Ford has revealed the 2021 Bronco Riptide custom vehicle. The vehicle was designed to enjoy the outdoor coastal environment of the West Coast and highlight a bunch of available accessories for the new Bronco. Ford says Bronco Riptide was designed for outdoor adventures with the roof off and doors removed.
Design and Features
On the concept, the doors were replaced with available tubular doors, which not only enhance the rugged look but also provide a more open-air experience, perfect for those who love the feel of the wind while driving along the coast. On the roof is a surfboard rack for those who enjoy getting in the water, making it an ideal vehicle for surfers and beachgoers. The exterior is Velocity Blue, a vibrant color that stands out against the natural backdrop of the coast. The interior features Marine-gray vinyl trim seats in Black Onyx and Dark Space Gray, which are both stylish and practical for outdoor use.
Riptide also has a rubberized washout floor making it easier to clean after a day at the beach. This feature is particularly useful for those who frequently deal with sand, saltwater, and other elements that can dirty a vehicle quickly. The washout floor ensures that the interior can be easily maintained, preserving the vehicle’s aesthetic and functionality.
Performance and Specifications
Riptide is based on the 2021 Bronco four-door with Sasquatch Package. This package includes 35-inch mud-terrain tires, which provide excellent traction and durability for off-road adventures. The 17-inch factory wheels are fitted with the optional Ford Performance beadlock rings, which help to secure the tires in place during extreme off-road conditions, preventing them from coming off the rim.
Power for the concept is from a standard 2.7-liter EcoBoost engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. This combination offers a balance of power and efficiency, making it suitable for both highway driving and off-road excursions. The EcoBoost engine is known for its robust performance and fuel efficiency, providing ample power for tackling various terrains while maintaining good fuel economy.
The Bronco Riptide also features advanced off-road technologies such as the Terrain Management System with G.O.A.T. Modes (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain). This system allows drivers to select different driving modes tailored to specific terrains, such as sand, mud, and rocks, ensuring optimal performance in diverse conditions. Additionally, the vehicle is equipped with Trail Control, a type of off-road cruise control that helps maintain a steady speed on challenging trails, allowing the driver to focus on steering.
The Bronco Riptide is not just about performance; it also emphasizes customization. Ford offers a wide range of accessories that can be added to the vehicle, allowing owners to tailor it to their specific needs and preferences. These accessories include roof racks, lighting kits, and various storage solutions, making the Bronco Riptide a versatile vehicle for outdoor enthusiasts.
The 2021 Ford Bronco Riptide is a testament to Ford’s commitment to providing vehicles that cater to the adventurous spirit. With its combination of rugged design, advanced off-road capabilities, and customizable features, the Bronco Riptide is well-suited for those who love exploring the great outdoors. Whether you’re hitting the beach, tackling off-road trails, or simply enjoying a scenic drive along the coast, the Bronco Riptide is designed to enhance your outdoor experiences.
