Ford today started the teaser campaign for the long-awaited Bronco Raptor high-performance SUV. Teased in a short video that shows only the grille of the vehicle and the dust it kicks up as it charges through the desert with its, presumably, high-performance powertrain. Few other details are shared about the SUV, apart from the fact that it will be available in 2022.
Although there are few official numbers to share, a dealer ordering system leak revealed earlier this month that the Raptor model will be available in two trims, with the higher trim model getting creature comforts like a heated steering wheel, wireless smartphone charging, GPS, adaptive cruise control, and a 10-speaker sound system. Power will reportedly come from the Explorer ST‘s 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 kicking out 400 hp and 562 Nm. That’s an upgrade of 70 hp over the 2.7-liter V6 Bronco, which Raptor buyers will no doubt appreciate.
Spy pictures have shown that the styling will be upgraded, too, with big fender flares giving the SUV a wider, more aggressive stance. It could also get a unique Code Orange paint option. Rumors suggest that the Raptor version of the Bronco will only be available with four doors. Clearly, there’s a lot more to learn still. With the teaser campaign having officially started, though, we expect to have more info in the near future.
