Embracing a Rich Legacy
In early October, Ford made headlines by unveiling a retro-styled free-wheeling version of the 2025 Bronco. Shortly after, the automotive giant continued to celebrate its heritage with the introduction of the special edition Bronco Stroppe, which pays homage to the legendary Bill Stroppe. Known for his influence in the world of racing and fabrication, Stroppe’s Baja Broncos of the late 1960s and early ‘70s left a lasting impact that many enthusiasts remember fondly.
Classic Design with Modern Touches
The 2025 Bronco Stroppe Special Edition captures the essence of Stroppe’s iconic designs through a striking three-tone paint scheme. Utilizing the Ford palette, the Bronco sports a combination of Atlas Blue, Oxford White, and Code Orange, mirroring the original’s passionate color scheme. Added features such as a matte-black hood and a frozen white grille with Code Orange “Bronco” lettering further enhance its retro performance aesthetics.
Performance Meets Off-Road Excellence
This two-door Stroppe Special Edition mirrors the upper Wildtrak trim mechanically, including robust features designed for high-speed adventurers. It boasts a powerful 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine and fox internal-bypass dampers, ensuring a smooth ride across sandy terrains. The Baja G.O.A.T. drive mode is specifically tailored to enhance performance on loose surfaces, while the 35-inch Goodyear Territory RT tires on black-finished beadlock wheels provide outstanding traction. With its expected arrival in January 2025, the Stroppe Edition is a testament to Ford’s commitment to honoring its storied past while paving the way for thrilling future adventures.
