# 2021 Ford Bronco Overland Concept: A Factory-Built Adventure Machine With All the Boxes Checked

Showing off the vast array of official accessories for its revived off-roader, Ford has unveiled the [Bronco](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/35522/ford-bronco-test-mules-invade-jeeps-favorite-playgrounds>) Overland Concept, a Bronco that appears to have everything one needs for outdoor adventure. A bit like that [Lexus J201 Concept](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/36905/the-lexus-j201-concept-is-an-apocalypse-mobile-for-people-with-summer-vacation-homes>), then, except several magnitudes less bougie.

Unveiled and on display at Bronco Super Celebration East in Townsend, Tennessee—the biggest classic Bronco gathering in North America—the Overland Concept is based on a four-door 2021 Badlands model painted in Area 51 colors. It's been fitted with the High-performance Off-road Stability Suspension (HOSS) system which includes Bilstein position-sensitive dampers. There are also black, 17-inch Fifteen52 Turbomatic wheels wrapped in 35-inch BFGoodrich KM3 mud-terrain tires and a Ford Performance by Warn winch mounted to a modular steel front bumper.

And, [just for good measure](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/36583/the-2021-ford-bronco-sasquatch-will-have-a-seven-speed-manual-after-all>), Ford has hooked the Overland Concept's 2.3-liter turbo engine up to the seven-speed manual transmission. Rejoice!

For when its occupants are ready to set up camp for the night, this specialized [Bronco](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/36377/the-2021-ford-bronco-may-never-get-a-factory-v8>) features a heavy-duty Yakima tent big enough for two mounted to its factory roof rack. Out back, one can find an ARB refrigerator with a slide-out tray, cooking kit, stove and a tailgate table with chairs, creating a real home away from home.

Additionally, a front-facing light bar, as well as six pod lights all around, are supplied by Rigid while a tall CB antenna on the rear bumper provides a link back to civilization when the Bronco Overland Concept finds itself *really* out in the wilderness. MOLLE grids on the inside of the rear window panels provide extra storage.

With this technically being a concept, it probably won't be available to purchase as-is (not yet, anyway) but customers should be able to recreate it with Ford's off-road accessories catalog. Now, excuse me while I go retrieve my checkbook.
