The Ford Bronco is amongst the hottest vehicles from Ford, especially when you get it in the Sasquatch package. For 2022, Ford promises to deliver a better SUV in the form of the Bronco Raptor. It takes the normal Bronco to another level with its aggressive grille, wheels, engine, and off-roadability.

Ford first revealed the Raptor name over a decade ago on the F-150, and it was a huge success. The Bronco Raptor is designed from the ground up by Ford Performance, thus sharing a few components with the F-150 Raptor. Below are some of the coolest features of the new Bronco Raptor.

The Ford Bronco Raptor comes with the largest tires on any production SUV. The 37-inch tires come standard with 17-inch bead-lock-capable wheels. The Bronco’s tire options make it a great off-roading machine, especially when you factor in the added performance enhancements.

The Bronco Raptor has a wheel travel range of 14 inches at the rear and 13 inches at the front. This gives it a minimum of 13.1 inches ground clearance, 4.8 inches more than the standard Bronco. Thanks to this, it's fair to say that the Bronco Raptor will be unstoppable on any terrain.

9 10 Inches Wider Than The Base Bronco

Besides its large tires, the Bronco Raptor is THICK. To be precise, the Raptor is around 10 inches wider than the normal Bronco. That's partly because of the upgraded, heavy-duty Dana AdvanTEK axles. It's aggressive sculpturing also contributes to the wide stance, especially the aggressively flared fenders.

The fender flares are unique to the bronco Raptor compared to the standard vehicle. Other notable features contributing to its stance include the door pieces and the quarter panels in the rear and front.

Taking off the roof reveals the increased support structure on both the B and C pillars. These structures help provide 50% extra rigidity over the base Bronco. The support structure allows owners to do more without putting additional stress on the Bronco Raptor frame.

Additionally, the Bronco Raptor comes with suspension height sensors. These sensors are strategically placed at each corner of the vehicle to help monitor the conditions and adjust the suspension accordingly. They do all these adjustments hundreds of times per second.

The Bronco Raptor’s 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 features the Ford GT anti-lag turbocharger system. The system helps the Bronco Raptor reduce the time it takes for the turbos to spool up and produce boost. It requires a form of air bypass, and in the Bronco Raptor, it's set to utilize the throttle bypass.

The system cranks the electric throttle open when your foot isn't on the pedal, thus allowing enough air to keep the compressors spinning. It prepares the turbos and reduces the time to boost when you get back on the pedal.
