Fox super fans, your new SUV is here!
Oh, no, sorry not Fox "News," we mean the Fox that makes high performance shock absorbers for motorcycles and off-road trucks.
Fox has teamed up with Dave Cole, co-founder of the annual King of the Hammers race in Johnson Valley, California, and Ultra4 racer Jason Scherer to design an extreme version of the Ford Bronco inspired by the grueling off-road event.
The limited edition truck is equipped with a set of adjustable Fox 2.5 Performance Elite shocks, which are geared more for rock crawling than the Fox shocks that the high speed desert racing-inspired Ford Bronco Raptor gets at the factory.
