The 2023 Ford Bronco Raptor is the latest addition to the legendary Bronco family, and it promises to deliver a thrilling off-road experience. In this blog post, I will review the features and performance of this beastly SUV, and share my impressions after taking it for a test drive.
The Bronco Raptor is based on the four-door Bronco, but it has a number of enhancements that make it stand out from the crowd. The most noticeable difference is the suspension system, which features Fox shocks with live valve technology that can adjust to different terrain and driving modes. The Bronco Raptor also has a wider track, larger tires, increased ground clearance, and a unique front fascia with a blacked-out grille and LED lights.
The Bronco Raptor is powered by a 3.0-liter EcoBoost V6 engine that produces 400 horsepower and 415 lb-ft of torque. The engine is paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission that can shift smoothly and quickly. The Bronco Raptor also has a Terrain Management System with seven modes: Normal, Sport, Slippery, Mud/Ruts, Rock Crawl, Baja, and Sand. Each mode adjusts the throttle response, steering feel, transmission shift points, stability control, and suspension damping to suit the conditions.
The Bronco Raptor is not only capable of tackling any terrain, but also comfortable and spacious inside. The cabin has leather-trimmed seats with Raptor logos, a 12-inch touchscreen with SYNC 4 infotainment system, a Bang & Olufsen sound system, and a wireless charging pad. The Bronco Raptor also has plenty of storage space, with a rear cargo area that can fit up to four 35-inch tires.
The Bronco Raptor is a dream come true for off-road enthusiasts who want a powerful, agile, and versatile SUV. It combines the heritage and style of the Bronco with the performance and technology of the Raptor. The Bronco Raptor will be available in early 2023, with a starting price of $69,995.
