Ford is keen to offer Bronco and Ranger enthusiasts who are passionate about outdoor adventures the opportunity to upgrade their vehicles for off-road use.
At the 2023 SEMA exhibition in Las Vegas this week, the company introduced new Off-Road Vehicle (ORV) packages for its Bronco SUV and the revamped 2024 Ranger pickup. Developed in collaboration with Ford Performance, these packages are expected to be available in dealerships in the near future.

The upgrades are aimed at overlanding enthusiasts, a community focused on extended travel through remote terrains, often for several weeks or months. These packages can be installed on new purchases or retrofitted through authorized Ford dealerships or ASE-certified facilities.
2024 Ranger ORV Package Details
Specifically for the Ranger, the ORV package targets the XLT and Lariat trims that come with four-wheel drive. It includes an ARB overland suspension system, ARB front and rear bumpers that offer additional recovery points, an integrated air compressor, Solis auxiliary lighting, and a 47-quart portable refrigerator.
Features of the Bronco ORV Package
For the Bronco, the ORV package is compatible with the base, Big Bend, Black Diamond, and Outer Banks trims that have the standard 2.3-liter turbo-4 engine, mated to either a 10-speed automatic or a 7-speed manual transmission. This package comprises a 2.0-inch lift kit from Bilstein, 17-inch white wheels fitted with 35-inch off-road tires, an ARB jack with mounting hardware, a compressor located in the engine bay, and a Borla cat-back exhaust system. Ford has also mentioned that there will be specialized software calibration for the engine, although more information is pending.
Concept Stage and Future Announcements
Ford has noted that these ORV packages are currently in the conceptual phase and the final offerings may vary. Pricing details will be disclosed as the market launch approaches.
In addition to these ORV packages, Ford utilized the SEMA show to unveil an 800-horsepower supercharger upgrade for the redesigned 2024 Mustang GT, along with an array of accessories for other models.

Is it just me, or is Ford going all out at this year’s SEMA? Between this and the Mustang, they’re setting the bar high.
anyone know when these packages will actually be available? The article says ‘in the near future’ but thats kinda vague.
SEMA 2023 seems to be the place for big announcements. First the 800-hp Mustang and now this? Ford’s killin it.
Wow, Ford’s really stepping up their game with these ORV packages. Seriously, an ARB overland suspension kit on the Ranger? Count me in!
Curious about the “unique software calibration” for the Bronco. What could that be, any ideas?
Thats great news for off-roaders! The Bronco package sounds insane, esp with that 2-inch lift kit from Bilstein.
Finally, something for the XLT and Lariat grades. felt like Ford was neglecting these models for a while.
Borla cat-back exhaust and ARB components in the same package? That’s like a dream come true for Bronco owners.
Do we know if any of these upgrades are eco-friendly? Just wondering, with all the focus on sustainability these days.
Overlanding’s finally getting the attention it deserves. Can’t wait to take one of these bad boys for a spin in the backcountry.
