The Bronco Everglades is a new version of the 4x4 SUV that's been optimized for use in swampy environs like its namesake locale.
The Everglades' snorkel can pull air in from the front or back. (Ford)
Notably, the four-door is equipped with a factory-installed snorkel-type air intake on the passenger side A-pillar that keeps it clear of water, mud and dust. A removable panel allows it to be configured with either a front or rear opening, depending on the conditions.

A standard Sasquatch off-road package with 35-inch tires and changes to the vents in other driveline components increase its water fording capability to 36.4 inches.
The Everglades is also capable in snowy conditions. (Ford)
It also gets a 10,000 pound winch to help it and other vehicles get unstuck, a front safari bar, rock rails, bash plates, a removable hardtop with roof rack and Everglades graphics.

{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Pricing for the Everglades starts at $54,495 and sales are scheduled to begin this summer with five colors available including Eruption Green, Area 51, Shadow Black and Cactus Gray and a model-exclusive Desert Sand, which seems a little incongruous for a semi-amphibious truck. Unfortunately, ordering is only open for existing Bronco reservation holders for now and with the Bronco's entry-level 300 hp 2.3-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine.
