We all remember the anticipation of waiting for the release of the new Ford Bronco. Well, Bronco diehards have another reason to get excited; the 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor has been announced! Sit still for a few minutes if you’re able because Cecil Atkission Ford Lincoln in Del Rio has some details for you.
The 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor is a singular powerhouse with a powerful twin-turbo V6 engine, a truckload of off-road gear, daring styling upgrades, and imaginatively named exterior paint colors. The vehicle is positioned to become the audacious darling of the Del Rio off-road set, a dervish of excitement and fun on the plains (and rocks!) of southwest Texas.
The 4-door 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor is a wide-bodied – it is 9.8 inches wider than a standard Bronco – adventurer on gigantic 37-inch tires. Unique amber LED running lights emphasize the vehicle’s blacked-out grille with a huge Ford logo. A full-size spare bolsters the rear liftgate set between enormously flared fenders.
The Raptor Graphics package adds splatter graphics on the sides and hood. Two new colors are new to Bronco for 2022, Hot Pepper Red Metallic and Eruption Green Metallic. The other exterior colors are Velocity Blue Metallic, Shadow Black, Iconic Silver Metallic, Area 51, Cactus Gray, Cyber Orange Metallic Tri-Coat, and Oxford White. Code Orange is a Bronco Raptor exclusive color.
The 2022 Raptor interior is a comfortable but robust space. The long horizontal dash panel has a large and vibrant 12-inch infotainment touch display, prominent Bronco logo, and digital gauge cluster. Black marine-grade vinyl upholstery is standard with rubberized washout flooring. Exclusive to the Raptor are the Ford Performance standard front seats. Orange accents bring color to the gear selector dial, door netting, air vents, and steering wheel stitching. Synthetic suede upholstery and carpeted flooring are available.
The twin-turbo 3.0-liter V6 under the enormous hood produces more than 400 horsepower mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission with unique Ford Performance tuning. The Bronco Raptor has a real dual exhaust system with active valves to alter the sound based on drive mode: Normal, Sport, Quiet, Baja. In Bronco’s array of ‘Goes Over Any Type of Terrain’ driving modes, the new Baja mode reduces turbo lag and helps maximize performance for high-speed desert runs. The Raptor also gets a Bronco-first tow/haul mode to enable up to 4,500 pounds of towing heft.
The 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor is fitted with Ford Performance 17-inch wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich 37-inch K02 tires. Beneath, Ford Performance front and rear control arms provide huge suspension travel of 13 inches up front and 14 inches in the rear. The standard Bronco’s High-Performance Off-road Stability is boosted by 3.1 Internal Bypass Semi-Active Dampers with position-sensing capability. Sensors at each corner monitor and adjust suspension tuning hundreds of times per second.
The 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor features a multitude of safety and driver aids, including automatic high-beam headlights, hill-start assist, post-collision braking, automatic emergency braking, pedestrian detection, forward-collision warning, and a rearview camera.
The 2022 Raptor comes standard with a full suite of technology such as Sync 4 infotainment software with over-the-air updates and advanced voice controls, a 360-degree camera system, and connections for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The Lux package adds a 10-speaker B&O audio system and adaptive cruise control to the Raptor.
The 2022 Ford Bronco Raptor is a fierce rock crawler seemingly custom-made for the terrain of southwest Texas. We share your excitement! You can now exhale and dance around a little bit – we won’t tell anyone. Share your enthusiasm on Facebook.
