Ford Bronco (Sixth Generation) Raptor

The new Ford Bronco really is a comeback worth waiting for after two and a half decades of waiting. It's a real no-nonsense SUV that does real SUV stuff the poser crossovers can't. For those who demand more from the new Bronco, the first-ever Bronco Raptor has arrived to add more offroad capability to the reborn legend.

Priced at 73,780 US Dollars plus additional costs, the first-ever Ford Bronco Raptor is the beefed-up version of the reborn Bronco that offers more off-road capability than the normal Bronco, the capability to outlast the likes of offroad greats such as the Jeep Wrangler and the Land Rover Defender. It's offered exclusively as a four-door because there's a good saying that fits well with the most potent Bronco ever made; "You Are Not Alone".

Outside, the Bronco Raptor features signature Raptor treatments such as the hood, the black grille with FORD lettering, and other tough treatments to turn the offroad-capable Bronco into a beefed-up offroader ready for extreme stuff. Inside, the Bronco Raptor works just like the normal Raptor and can be fitted with available features to make it unique for you and your road trip buddies.

Under the hood, the Bronco Raptor is powered by a 3.0L EcoBoost V6 engine that produces 418HP of power and 440lb-ft of torque while mated to a 10-speed AT, meaning this potent Bronco is less powerful than the V8 versions of the Jeep Wrangler and Land Rover Defender. That sounds like a weak point for the Raptor but being the most offroad-capable Bronco ever built, the Bronco Raptor is armed with HOSS 4.0 with FOX Live Valve 3.1 internal bypass semi-active dampers and 37-inch BFGoodrich all-terrain tires developed specifically for the Bronco Raptor.

Combined with familiar Bronco capabilities, the Bronco Raptor is even more capable everywhere than the normal Bronco, meaning it's not afraid to play dirty because dirty is part of the Raptor experience. From the sands of Death Valley, the snowcapped Colorado Rockies, to the streets of New York, the Bronco Raptor is locked and loaded.

With its improved offroad capabilities, the Bronco Raptor really is a Bronco on steroids and such performance and looks are too tough to be snubbed. In fact, the world's feeling the burning jealousy to have one someday. Up for the challenge?
