Ford unleashes the ferocious Bronco Raptor

Ford has let its much-anticipated Bronco Raptor out of the cage, and it's a beast.

With a ferocious, 400-plus horsepower engine under its ribbed hood, the Raptor sits on 37-inch tires and a 9.8-inch wider track for high speed off-roading like its big brother F-150 Raptor pickup. Combine that with Bronco's signature, electronic detachable sway bar and Turn Assist for low-speed rock-crawling, and Bronco Raptor sets a new industry standard for off-road bandwidth.

In its escalating arms race with Jeep, Bronco's Raptor lines up against the 470-horse, V-8-powered, Wrangler 392 with 35-inch Extreme Recon rubber. With its all-around capability, the Bronco hellion also becomes the new halo for Ford's Raptor brand. True to that status, it will start at $69,995 — $2,924 more than a Raptor pickup.
