It appears "Timberline" is indeed the winner. That was just one of many names Ford sought to protect in a flurry of trademark filings from 2018 and 2019, among which now-known nameplates such as "Maverick," "Badlands" and "Outer Banks" were also established, and it appears this is one track for introduction in time for the 2022 model year.

Based on what we see here, we expect this to be predominantly a tire-and-wheel package. While Ford may reserve the treatment for 4x4 variants of the Explorer, we're not talking about a Raptor-style package here. Realistically, it will probably fall somewhere closer to Tremor on the Ford off-road spectrum: a little beefy, but not a full Porterhouse.

Apart from the iconography we mentioned above, the Timberline is also differentiated by an orange stripe across the lower front bumper along with color-matched recovery hooks. The tires are Bridgestone Dueler Revo 3s in 265/65R18 — just under 32 inches — and they're wrapped around unique wheels marked by a Timberline logo.
