Roush reveals first upgrades for the Ford Bronco

Ford is gearing up to launch a Bronco Raptor next year, but this isn’t the only avenue for Bronco fans looking to extract more performance from the off-roader.

There’s a growing list of tuning firms with upgrades for the Bronco, and one with close links to Ford is Roush which this week unveiled its first offerings.

Roush has launched a Bronco R Series Kit that is available to order via authorized Roush dealers or the company’s website. The limited-edition kit is priced at $6,750 and includes everything from engine upgrades to wheels and styling options.

The kit is designed to fit Broncos with either the 2.3-liter turbocharged inline-4 or 2.7-liter twin-turbocharged V-6. It includes high-flow intake and exhaust (axle-back) systems, plus 17-inch wheels, a graphics package, custom badging, floor liners, and Roush’s off-road recovery kit containing things like a weather-proof storage case, D-links and flashlight.

The intake system features an off-road pre-filter and maintains the Bronco’s water-fording capability. According to Roush, it offers a 30% improvement in air flow over the stock unit. The exhaust system features a 3.0-inch pipe and is said to improve ground clearance and departure angle.

No power numbers have been released but for reference, the Bronco’s stock 2.3-liter engine is rated at 300 hp and 325 lb-ft of torque, and the stock 2.7-liter engine at 330 hp and 415 lb-ft.

For buyers on a budget, Roush is offering up the air intake and exhaust systems separately. They are priced from $479.99 and $1,049.99, respectively.

Roush is also readying a separate Performance Pac, details for which will be announced at a later date.

Does Brad Keselowski Own One Single Suit Jacket? Jalopnik Investigates

NASCAR Cup Series driver Brad Keselowski has been a frequent feature of the motorsport news lately with his swap from Team Penske to a co-ownership and driver role at Roush Fenway. It’s a pretty massive career move for someone who has been with one team for over a decade. But that’s not what I’m here to talk to you about today. Instead, I want to discuss Mr. Keselowski’s suits.

Every time Brad Keselowski makes an appearance in the broadcast booth or during a press conference, I think to myself, “That’s a nice jacket.” Instead of opting for a regular black, navy, or gray suit, he’s usually sporting a nice plaid coat. But lately, saying that has turned into a bit of déjà vu. Haven’t I said this before?

As it turns out, I have. It appears that Brad Keselowski has one Nice Suit, and he wears it everywhere.

Here’s a photo from Keselowski’s recent Roush Fenway press conference:

Unfortunately, my theory has been disproved. Mr. Keselowski has been seen in the booth wearing a blue suit with a very faint plaid pattern. But did he offer his other suit jacket to his boothmate? I’ll let you decide:

That said, it’s the same suit that he wore back in 2016:

And he also appears to own a striped blue suit jacket as well:

That striped suit made a reappearance in 2018:

2017 also brought us this snazzy checkered number:

Whatever the case — however many suit jackets Keselowski owns — I have to say that I respect playing favorites. I have about four outfits that I pack any time I go on a press trip, which I am sure people have noticed by now. When you find something nice that you like, I say stick with it. Go on and be your bad self, Brad. Maybe ask Roush for a slightly larger suit budget.
