Called the Troller T4 Concept, the rugged off-road concept is based on the Ford Troller, but features additional accessories that make it a true off-road vehicle, like a snorkel, rugged plastic bumpers, an electric winch, a steel storage box, and large off-road tires that wrap an alloy rim finished in dark brown.

The whole exterior and interior is finished in a two tone dark brown-light brown combination. Inside, unlike most concepts that we've seen so far, the Troller T4 Concept features the production-ready interior of the Troller and is upholstered in leather. Standard equipment include an automatic climate control system and navigation support.

Under the hood, the Troller T4 Concept borrows the 3.2-liter five cylinder engine from Ford's other models. It produces 197 hp, and is mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox. Ford hasn't provided any performance figures yet.
