Joe Burrow’s custom Ford Bronco is heading to auction, and it looks nothing like the clean little mall crawler Ford once shipped from the factory. Built by RealTruck with the Joe Burrow Foundation and Pro Motorsports, this 2022 Bronco wears loud Cyber Orange paint, purple graphics, a lifted stance, beefy off-road tires, and enough hardware to make it look ready for a trail run or a Bengals tailgate. Barrett-Jackson will sell the SUV in Columbus, Ohio, and every dollar from the sale will support the Joe Burrow Foundation’s work around food insecurity and youth mental health. Joe Burrow’s Bronco Has A Loud Look And A Real Purpose RealTruckAthletes rarely leave their toys alone. Factory look usually does not survive long when the garage belongs to someone with a Super Bowl résumé and a taste for drama. Burrow fits that mold well. This is the same quarterback who reportedly bought a Batman Tumbler replica for around $3 million, even though he cannot legally drive it on public roads. Compared with that rolling movie prop, this Bronco almost seems practical. Almost.The Bronco’s orange and purple theme gives it the first big clue that this is not a normal build. The colors nod to Burrow’s football world, while the graphics and custom touches give it a one-off personality without turning it into a circus float. The cabin keeps the same personal theme. Black leather seats get contrast stitching, while Burrow’s No. 9 appears on the headrests. A purple leather-wrapped steering wheel finishes the interior.“It’s really special to be able to give back to the Cincinnati and Baton Rouge communities that have supported me throughout my career,” said Joe Burrow. “This custom Ford Bronco build is more than just a vehicle, it’s a symbol of the hard work that Ohio and Louisiana are known for. I want to thank RealTruck and the builders who put their craftsmanship into this project. Whoever ends up behind the wheel of this one-of-a-kind ride can rest assured that the proceeds are going to a great cause.” RealTruck Gave It The Stuff Bronco Fans Actually Care About Barett-JacksonThe visual drama gets attention, but the hardware gives this Bronco its enthusiast appeal. RealTruck fitted AMP Vision steps, a Havoc Steel Bender bumper, a RealTruck winch, roof racks, and extra lighting. Those are all parts Bronco owners add when they want their SUV to look tougher and work harder.The Superlift suspension changes the whole attitude of the vehicle. A stock 2022 Bronco already offers serious clearance, with up to 11.6 inches depending on the setup, but this build pushes the body higher and gives the SUV a much more aggressive stance. The larger-looking wheels and chunky off-road tires help fill out the arches. Under the hood, this Bronco keeps Ford’s 2.7-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V6. The auction listing does not mention engine upgrades, so the powertrain appears to remain stock. That means it should still make 330 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque when running on premium fuel. Ford pairs that engine with a 10-speed automatic transmission and four-wheel drive, giving the Bronco plenty of low-speed shove and highway punch.“Collaborating with Joe Burrow Foundation on this custom vehicle build creates a unique platform to unite performance, purpose, and community,” said RealTruck Inc. Vice President of Marketing Lee Riser. “Together, we’re leveraging creativity, innovation and influence to inspire people, bring communities together, and generate support for a cause that creates change.” HotCars Take Barett-JacksonJoe Burrow’s Bronco works because it does not feel like a lazy autograph special. RealTruck gave it useful off-road gear, the design ties back to Burrow without overdoing it, and the charity angle gives the sale real weight. The 2.7-liter EcoBoost staying stock also makes sense, because the engine already has enough grunt. The fun here comes from the stance, the story, and the fact that one lucky bidder gets to say they own Joe Burrow’s custom Bronco.Source: RealTruck
