The Ford Bronco is already legendary for its off-road prowess. Now, with the debut of the 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor, the off-road capabilities of the Bronco go to an entirely new level. Ford already gave the Raptor treatment to the F-150 full-size pickup truck and will do the same to the Ranger midsize pickup truck as well. With the Bronco Raptor, off-road enthusiasts can enjoy Raptor capabilities with an SUV.

2022 Ford Bronco Raptor specs: Engine, towing, and off-road features

All 2022 Bronco Raptor models are powered by a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6 engine. It’s a version of a similar engine that’s in the high-performance Ford Explorer ST SUV. Mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission, the twin-turbo V-6 engine produces over 400 hp. Also, the Bronco Raptor can tow up to 4,500 pounds. 

With its advanced four-wheel drive system and selectable G.O.A.T (Goes Over Any Type of Terrain) modes, the Bronco Raptor can head off the beaten path with ease. To handle the rigors of off-road use, the Bronco Raptor features a HOSS 4.0 race-ready suspension system and a fully-boxed, high-strength steel frame. Additional off-road features include beefy 37-inch all-terrain tires and Fox adaptive dampers.
