The overlanding craze shows no signs of slowing down, and RTR Vehicles – founded by Formula Drift legend Vaughn Gittin Jr. – has answered the call with its most capable adventure rig yet: the Bronco RTR ROVR (Ready to Rock Off-Road Vehicle). Designed to channel the spirit of NASA’s Mars rovers, this $26,595 upgrade package transforms any four-door Ford Bronco into an unstoppable exploration machine.

“This isn’t just about looks – every modification serves a purpose for real overlanding,” says Gittin Jr. “We built what we’d want to drive on the toughest trails.”
For adventurers who demand more than showroom-spec capability, the Bronco RTR ROVR delivers NASA-grade exploration potential – no space suit required.
