Ford Reveals Off-Road Mustang Baja to Dealers Amidst Homologation History
Ford has shown an off-road Mustang variant, reportedly named the Baja, to dealers, signaling a serious move into the high-performance off-road segment. This development follows years of rumors and aligns with CEO Jim Farley’s goal to make Ford the 'Porsche of off-road.' The potential new model would likely use a 5.0-liter V8 and all-wheel drive, distinct from the electric Mach-E. The news coincides with historical context regarding the 1969-1970 Boss 429, a homologation special built to meet NASCAR rules, where fewer than 1,400 units were produced due to the engine's size requiring manual modifications.
