Joe Burrow knows a lot about teamwork. Not only did he win the Heisman Trophy in 2019 as the quarterback for the LSU Tigers, but he also led the NFL’s Cincinnati Bengals to Super Bowl LVI. So when it came time to design a custom 2022 Ford Bronco Badlands to run at the inaugural Barrett-Jackson Columbus Auction at the Ohio Expo Center & State Fairgrounds, June 25-27, 2026, he teamed up with the specialists at RealTruck and Pro Motorsports. The person who buys this rig will go home with a 1-of-1 build and the knowledge that 100 percent of the hammer price will go to the The Joe Burrow Foundation, which helps “children with mental illness and those experiencing food insecurity” and provides “resources and support to the underprivileged and underserved.”
Offense or defense alone can’t win football games. It takes a combination of both — and this sixth-generation Bronco has that covered when it comes to conquering the outdoors. It charges through streams and mud with the power of a 2.7-liter EcoBoost V-6, which was factory-rated at 330 horsepower at 5,250 rpm and 415 lb-ft of torque at 3,100 rpm. That reaches trails through a 10-speed automatic, dual-range transfer case, and front and rear locking differentials.
Of course, RealTruck and Pro Motorsports added plenty of hardware. If the path ahead is tough, the RealTruck Havoc Steel Bender bumper that’s equipped with a RealTruck winch will tackle it first, while a rack of Havoc lights on the roof illuminate the way forward. Body armor protects the corners of the front and rear bodywork. A RealTruck 3.5-inch Superlift suspension helps keep this Bronco’s vital components away from the hazards of Mother Nature. If one of the 35-inch Hercules all-terrain tires gets punctured during an off-road adventure, the swing-away carrier at the back has a spare ready to go. More helpful gear can be carried on the Havoc roof rack.
As Joe Burrow has shown, style — whether that means clothing or executing plays — is also a part of football. Wherever this Bronco goes, it’ll definitely make a statement with its orange finish that features custom purple stripes and Burrow’s jersey number.
A pair of RealTruck AMP Research power-deploying steps ease entry into the cabin, where there are even more visual flourishes. Purple highlights the door panels and the rim of the steering wheel; in the cargo area, it covers the load floor and surrounds the amplifier and subwoofer. The black leather seats feature quilted bolsters with contrast stitching as well as Burrow’s jersey number on the front backrests.
