There is only one thing more anticipated than the Ford Bronco and that it the release of the 2023 Ford Bronco Raptor! This Ford Raptor Bronco will be similar to the Bronco, but will have more elaborate options. These Broncos will have a 450-hp twin turbo V-6 engine with a stronger and more flexible suspension. The standard Raptor Bronco comes with 35 inch tires, but can be upgraded to the 37 inch like on the Ford Raptor Truck.
Ford has been mainly silent about what the cost of the Bronco Raptor will be, but experts believe the base will start at $65k.
Sources have been told Ford won't put a V-8 in the Bronco, they expect the highest-performance variant to feature an extra-potent EcoBoost V-6. The Bronco Raptor will most likely adopt the 450-hp twin-turbo 3.5-liter V-6 in the current F-150 Raptor. Coincidentally, the latter is similar to the 470 horses generated by the Hemi V-8 that Jeep stuffs into the wild Wrangler Rubicon 392. The engine will likely pair exclusively with a 10-speed automatic transmission and an advanced four-wheel-drive system that should work in concert with selectable drive modes. The Bronco Raptor should also have an even meaner suspension setup to best handle powering over sand dunes or being jumped through the sky. Ford has also confirmed that the Raptorized Bronco will be equipped with Fox adaptive dampers from the F-150 Raptor as well as either 35- or 37-inch BFGoodrich K02 all-terrain tires.
