Ford Performance returns to the 2024 Rebelle Rally with a powerful five-truck lineup, continuing its support as a Silver Sponsor in the all-women’s off-road competition. After securing a historic fourth consecutive X-CROSS win in 2023, Ford is back with an impressive team featuring vehicles from the Bronco family and the debut of the Ford Ranger Raptor.
The Rebelle Rally is a challenging 1,500-mile off-road navigation event across the Nevada and California desert, where teams rely on maps and compasses to navigate—no GPS or cell phones allowed. The vehicles, largely stock models, face extreme real-world conditions, testing their endurance and capability.
