2022 Ford Bronco Everglades

This Bronco goes deep and can pull itself out

- By Jered Korfhage

The '22 Ford Bronco Everglades stands out from the other Broncos in the lineup with its factory-installed Warn winch, integrated and honest-to-goodness snorkel, and a few tweaks that help it go deeper than (almost) all its Bronco brethren.

T Starting with a four-door Black Diamond Bronco, the '22 Ford Bronco Everglades receives Ford's Mid package trim and the Sasquatch off-road goodies, which include 17-inch beadlock-capable wheels, 35-inch (LT315/70R17) Goodyear Territory mudterrains, electronic locking front and rear differentials with a 4.70:1 final drive ratio, piggyback Bilstein shocks, and a hardtop with factory cargo rails and crossbars. The Bronco Everglades gets one engine option and that's the 2.3L EcoBoost I-4 good for 300 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque. This choice was made to save weight, which makes up for the additional upfront mass of the winch and gives the Bronco a slight bump in efficiency for extended travels off the pavement. Sorry, manual transmission fans, this one only comes with the 10-speed automatic gearbox.

What Makes It Everglades?

Ford spent time with the off-road community and took notes on the modifications drivers frequently made to their vehicles. V-8 swaps didn't make the list, but stout bumpers with winches, 35-inch tires, rocker armor, and raised air intakes are among the items that were noticed. In short, the Blue Oval wanted to create a Bronco that came from the factory already outfitted with the accessories it felt most people would want on their trail-destined 4x4.
