The Ford Bronco Wildland Frefighting Command Rig has been created through the brand's Bronco Wild Fund for the National Park Service firefighters as a vehicle ready to handle the rigors of the wilderness.
The vehicle is a 2023 Ford Bronco Badlands model that has been modified with a series of advanced components to make it ready for anything. This includes an integrated winch, 35-inch off-road tires, a roof rack, a roof-mounted emergency light rail and even a deployable roof-mounted drone.
The Ford Bronco Wildland Frefighting Command Rig is a one-off creation that isn't available for sale, but will instead be put to work servicing the 33,000 acres of land around the Bandelier National Monument located in New Mexico.
