LEGO Set 42213-1 – Ford Bronco SUV: Alternate Build Possibilities (Technic)
When you crack open LEGO Technic 42213-1 – Ford Bronco SUV, you’re not just building a rugged off-roader—you’re unlocking a compact, well-chosen parts palette tailor-made for inventive alternates. Between the long beams, steering elements, suspension-friendly connectors, and those chunky wheels, the Bronco lends itself to everything from fast desert racers to hardworking construction machines. That’s the magic of Technic alternates: you get to reuse the same bricks to explore new functions, silhouettes, and building techniques, all while squeezing maximum value out of a single box.
Think about what you can do with the Bronco’s geometry. Those panels can be reshaped into sleek bodywork for a trophy truck, or reconfigured into the squared-off lines of a Unimog-style utility vehicle. The drivetrain parts support steering and robust sub-assemblies; the liftarms and connectors let you build articulated arms for loaders or bed mechanisms for work trucks. Even small choices—like where you anchor a gear train or how you brace a suspension—teach you more about Technic structure, torque, and strength.
Below you’ll find curated alternate builds created by talented designers in the community. Each model uses only the parts from 42213 (so no extra pieces required), and each links to full instructions. It’s the perfect way to challenge your skills, stretch your imagination, and give your Bronco bricks a second (or third!) life.
