Bronco Raptor News

At the launch of the 2022 Bronco Raptor, Ford brought along the rolling-chassis models of both the new Ford Bronco Raptor and the Ford F-150 Raptor. Seeing the two parked side by side provided an excellent opportunity to compare and contrast between these two very different frames that are each modified to be the fastest turn key high speed desert vehicles on the planet.

It turns out the Bronco Raptor won’t receive a two-door variant and this was confirmed by the team that designed and engineered the SUV to MuscleCarsAndTrucks. In fact, a two-door Bronco Raptor was never on the agenda right from the beginning of the development work. Source: Motor1.com

It looks like Ford will officially unveil the new Bronco Raptor on January 24 at 6:00 AM EST! The Bronco Nation also teased us with a great shot of the Bronco Raptor flexing its suspension on some rocks to help get us even more excited about the upcoming announcement!

Ford Authority leaked some new interior photos of the Bronco Raptor today. The overall design is very similar to the current Bronco, however there are some unique features worth mentioning. That includes a variety of red accents on the drive selector dial, A/C vents, grab handles, steering wheel, and shift boot. The Bronco Raptor has a large digital instrument panel / instrument cluster that is quite different from the regular Bronco’s analog and digital mashup as well.

The Ford Bronco is testing on the road in Dearborn, Michigan, and this one is wearing fairly light camouflage. The concealment amounts to a wrap over the body. The dark green body panels are partially exposed. The photos highlight the massive size of fender flares. It looks like they stick out a couple of inches from the body. The SUV rides on BF Goodrich All-Terrain T/A tires. The shots aren't clear enough to discern the size along the sidewall. There are also vents in the bodywork above the flares. The ride height is significantly higher than a standard Bronco. While the pieces aren't easily visible, there are clearly suspension modifications for lifting the SUV. A teaser video showing the model on an off-road course makes it look...

In a recent Ford Email sent to Bronco customers discussing the 2022 model year ordering process Ford mentions a new detail about the Bronco Raptor. "New Special Edition and limited-production offerings, like the Bronco Raptor SUV (Available in summer of 2022) Now, take this for what it is. Ford's version of "available" and reality haven't been on the same page the last couple of years. However, Ford now seems to be catching up with production and appears to be on top of the supply chain issues. I'm still thinking we have an official Q1 announcement, order banks up in up Q2, shipments begin late summer or first part of Q3. 🤞

The Bronco Raptor, available in the summer of 2022, is rumored to be equipped with a V-6 EcoBoost engine upgraded from the base offering. If this rumor is true and shares the same level of improved horsepower of the F-150 Raptor, you could expect somewhere in the neighborhood of 450 horsepower! Sitting on 37s, the Bronco Raptor is taller from the factory than any of the current 6-gen Broncos, and keeping with the trademark Raptor stance, much wider. Beefed up suspension and the iconic, and often copied front grille with the amber lights and more aggressive exterior styling. Source - bronconation
