Overview
The 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor is built to accelerate quicker, climb easier over rocks, and fly higher than the regular Bronco. It's basically the same blueprint Ford followed with the hugely entertaining and highly capable F-150 Raptor pickup. The ultimate Bronco boasts a 400-plus-hp twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6, a special long-travel suspension, huge 37-inch tires, and lots of other off-road goodies. Thanks to distinctive styling cues, such as exaggerated fender flares and an exclusive grille design with amber lighting elements, the 2022 Bronco Raptor won't be confused for anything else. Of course, its extensive catalog of custom accessories ensures owners can further tailor their rig their way. While the Raptor is considerably more expensive than the standard-issue Bronco, hardcore enthusiasts will crave its incredible performance.

What's New for 2022?
Now that the all-new 2022 Bronco Raptor has been officially revealed, we can't wait to get behind the wheel. We also can't wait to test it side-by-side with the 470-hp Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 392. Ford says deliveries will begin this summer, and anyone who already has an existing order for the regular Bronco is able to change it to the Raptor.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
Bronco Raptor 69,995
Ford has only announced the base price of the Bronco Raptor. It's slightly more expensive than the F-150 Raptor, which starts right around $67,000. However, only the Bronco version comes standard with 37-inch tires. Getting them on the pickup requires spending at least $78,470. We know the Bronco Raptor will only be offered with a four-door body style, but we're still waiting for pricing details on available packages and individual options.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance
Ford didn't put a V-8 in the Bronco, but the Raptor features an extra-potent twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 that's said to make more than 400 horsepower. The engine pairs exclusively with a 10-speed automatic transmission and an advanced four-wheel-drive system that works in concert with selectable G.O.A.T (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) modes. The Bronco Raptor also has an even beefier suspension setup than the standard version to best handle powering over sand dunes or being jumped through the air, and it has a much wider track that's set up for better high-speed stability. The Raptorized Bronco is equipped with Fox adaptive dampers from the F-150 Raptor as well as standard 37-inch BFGoodrich K02 all-terrain tires. The SUV is rated to tow up to 4500 pounds, too.
