There’s no denying that the Ford Bronco is the most hyped SUV this year. Many news sites have reported that over 230,000 people have reserved the Bronco. Chance are, that number has gone up by now and some may not even see their Bronco until 2022. Even when you decide you want a Ford Bronco, you’ll need to think what trim level you want. We particularly like the prototype Sasquatch package that was spotted with our 105 Race Series beadlock wheels. If you want something that’s ready to take on the Baja 1000, you’ll probably want this Ford Bronco R that our friends at Desert Assassins have been testing with.
