The off-road tuned Overland is a result of Ford’s massive factory backing, based on the Four-door Bronco Badlands is draped in the Area 51 blue color scheme and every point of the car has been beefed up, quite literally in some cases to tackle any kind of obstacle in the wild.

The 2.3L Ford Ecoboost engine which makes 270 American horsepower from its in-line four is mated to a 7-speed manual transmission (which is also available on the Sasquatch package) delivers optimum power to the four wheels to tackle any terrain and is reliable enough for the intended overland journeys.
The Bronco comes with a WARN winch mounted on a Ford Performance modular steel bumper, a Yakima two-person tent which is highly durable is mounted on the Ford roof rack and is perfect for the night camps.

The rear of the SUV features an ARB refrigerator with easy-access slide out tray, fully equipped cooking kit and stove which are mounted to the cargo management system. The tailgate serves as a table and the addition of chairs is enough to convert the Bronco into a fully functioning campsite.

The Overland is merely a prediction of what the Bronco can be made into, especially with the massive myriad of Ford factory parts and accessories to personalise it.
The Bronco is expected to start delivery next year and the Overland is just one of the concepts which showcase the wide range of the SUVs versatility. The Bronco is priced at $29,995 for the two-door variant while the four-door variant costs about $34,695 (Rs. 25.47 lakh).
