The final decision did not change these premises, since the brand announced that “a very limited number of First Edition units of the Bronco model will be available in Outer Banks or Badlands specifications, each of them adding unique exterior details, a plate with the interior serial number and a selection of accessories, including neoprene seat covers, door storage bags and a soft-top, depending on version.”

All this is complemented by materials chosen to withstand abuse and last, and a generous dose of technology and connectivity.
