Now that Ford has seemingly overcome some of the early production delays and quality issues with the big Bronco, it’s time to finally bring forth that Bronco Raptor.
The same Ford Performance axles used on the Bronco DR off-road race truck are also used on the Raptor with the rear being upgraded from other models with a Dana 50 heavy duty AdvanTek unit with a larger 235-mm ring gear. The new axles and suspension components increase the track width at both ends of the Raptor by 8.6-inches compared to the base Bronco. The new control arms that help push the wheels out also provide 13-inches of wheel travel at the front and 14-inches at the rear.
All of this contributes to a 4.8-inch boost in minimum ground clearance to 13.1-inches. The new gearing of the Raptor that helps to enable high speeds across the desert does bite into the 4WD-lo crawl ratio, dropping it from 94.75:1 on the Sasquatch to a still impressive 67.7:1 and easily beating the 57.3:1 of the Jeep Gladiator Mojave. The Raptor rolls on standard 37-inch BF Goodrich K02 all-terrain tires and Ford is offering two different 17-inch bead-lock capable wheel options.
There’s no word on pricing yet but it’s probably a safe-bet that it will start at at least $60,000. Ford will start taking orders in March 2022 and most of the 2022 model year deliveries are expected to go to existing reservation holders based on their position in line. Deliveries will start this summer.
