2023 | Ford Bronco DR
Overview
Introduced in 1966, Ford’s first-generation Bronco joined a group of now-longstanding American automotive icons. Just two years after the Mustang’s debut, the original SUV’s clean lines married versatile simplicity with rugged capability. Early trucks won over buyers with pickup, roadster, and wagon body styles and optional V8 power. A natural best fit for offroad motorsport, the platform remains forever linked to its competition heritage.

Receiving a hero’s welcome, the Bronco’s 2021 reboot combined retro styling and top 4x4 tech. Though impressive out-of-the-box, Ford’s racing affiliates set to work elevating the new model’s status as an undisputed offroad champion. Among them, Multimatic—an official factory partner to Ford Racing, developed the Bronco DR for model year 2023. Named for its “Desert Ready” spec, each completed chassis arrived ready for the start line built to SCORE International offroad racing standards. Presenting a rare opportunity to purchase an OEM-quality competition truck, just 50 units were made available to the public. Each Bronco DR featured 5.0L Coyote V8 power, composite bodywork, and the best of Ford’s heavy-duty Raptor hardware and Multimatic suspension enhancements.
