Why People Love the 2022 Bronco Raptor Post

The 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor is a new kind of Raptor that builds on the success of the F-150 Raptor, even pushing things a step further with the Ford Performance treatment. This beast measures nearly 10 inches wider than the base Bronco and is powered by a turbocharged 3.0-liter Ecoboost V-6. Read on to learn all about why people love Ford’s latest addition to the Raptor family.

A True Off-Roader

The 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor is made for off-roading—it can truly go over any type of terrain you could possibly encounter. The Bronco Raptor is incredibly capable both off-road and on the pavement. It comes standard with all the features you need to enjoy off-roading to the fullest, including Trail One-Pedal driving, allowing you to brake as you let off the accelerator, and making footwork simple in tricky situations. There’s also Ford’s innovative Trail Turn Assist, which locks the inside rear wheel during tight turns on loose surfaces like sand or rocks, allowing the SUV to pivot smoothly.

The Bronco Raptor is even semi-submersible, with key components strategically positioned to let the SUV safely travel through water as deep as the top of the tires. In short, whether you’re ready to do some high-speed desert running, some low-speed rock crawling or you’re cruising down the highway for your morning commute, the Bronco Raptor is nimble and easy to handle.

Incredible Styling

While looks are always subjective, it’s hard to deny that the Ford Bronco Raptor looks like an impressive off-road beast. On the outside, beadlock-look wheels, fender vents, fender flares, and a heat extractor on the hood—not to mention the Raptor’s width and stance—make for an imposing appearance.

On the inside, you’ll notice Raptor-specific details like Code Orange and carbon-fiber accents, plus unique graphics in the instrument panel. The interior feels much roomier than a Wrangler, currently the only competing model in its class. Marine-grade vinyl upholstery comes standard in the Bronco Raptor, which means you’ll have no trouble shrugging off any splashes as you’re going off-road.

Safety and Tech Features

While the Bronco Raptor is a blast to drive both on- and off-road, that doesn’t mean it’s not a safe vehicle. This beast comes standard with Ford’s innovative suite of driver-assistance technology, including lane-keeping assist and automated emergency braking. You also get all the tech you need to stay entertained and connected on-the-go, like a large 12.0-inch touchscreen and infotainment system that features Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, a Wi-Fi hotspot and so much more.

The 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor Is the Ultimate Off-Road Vehicle

The 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor is a better Bronco in every way. If you’re looking for a true off-roader that packs plenty of power, an aggressive appearance, and so much more, you can’t go wrong with the Bronco Raptor.
