Review: 2023 Ford Bronco Everglades
The 2023 Ford Bronco Everglades is equipped with features designed for using it on wet and swampy trails. Fox News Digital Autos Editor Gary Gastelu reviews.
The Ford Bronco was built for off-roading, and now there is a new way to help you do that with it.
Ford is launching a new Bronco Trail App that includes directions to over 18,000 miles of off-pavement trails in the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
The app works on Apple and Android smartphones and displays the maps through the Bronco's infotainment system display.
The 1,200 different trails have been professionally curated, and the app provides details including their length and difficulty.

Points of interest are marked along the way, and users can drop their own pins for future reference.
The maps can be downloaded, so they still work if the cellular connection is lost.
Video can be shot with a smartphone and synced to the app data. (Ford)
If the phone is secured in a mount, several of which are compatible with attachment points that are built into the top of the Bronco's dashboard, the camera can be used to record video that is synced to the app and overlaid with information including engine speed, elevation and the degrees of pitch and roll as the vehicle drives along.
